AFTERLIFE

𝙃𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙖𝙝'𝙨 𝙋𝙊𝙑:

When I woke up, I was extremely confused. There was a piercing pain in my shoulder and I realized that I was shot. The pain I felt was very extreme. I haven't endured anything like this before.

I had a hard time believing what I just did. I took a bullet for him. He must now think I'm crazy. But I can't just stand watching Hector kill another person I love.

Someone entered the room and I hoped it would be Liam. But it was Cece. " Hannah are you awake?" she asked surprised.

Oh my god, how long was I unconscious? " It's good to see you again. And I'm sorry about everything. I didn't mean to hurt you. " she said.

I couldn't understand why she is apologizing to me now. It took me a while to realize that she is the one who introduced me into this world.

" Forget about it, Cece. Now tell me what did Liam say about me? He must think I'm crazy. " I asked.

She sat beside me and smiled. " He is just wondering why you love him this much even though he has been a complete jerk to you. "

Even I have the same question. Why do I even like him? We just can't resist with whom we fall in love. I am so much in love with him that I made him my priority over everything including my own life.

I don't know if it's good or bad to love someone this much. But I can't stop loving him. Then I remembered my last conversation with him. He was ready to divorce me and move on.

He doesn't feel the same way about me. He is just a mobster who pays for sex and lives with a stone heart. I felt so stupid about my current situation.

" It doesn't matter anymore. He is probably going to divorce me within a week." I said feeling depressed.

She rolled her eyes at me. " What are you saying?"

" It's true. That was our last conversation. He said that he would never be able to -"

" Cut the crap. Ricky told me how you both were doing a Romeo and Juliet play in the plane. And the way he got panicked when you were unconscious explains everything."

" Is it true?" I asked awestruck. I couldn't believe what she just said.

" Why don't you ask about it to him for yourself?" she said. Liam entered the room and my heart skipped a beat as I saw him. Cece left and winked at me before closing the door.

" Are you alright baby?" he asked.

" I am fine. " I lied to him even though I wasn't. I'm not fine ever since he entered. He bent down and kissed my forehead. I blushed as he held my hand and looked me in the eye.

" I don't deserve you, Hannah. I'm a cold-hearted demon and you are an angel," he said.

" So are you going to divorce me because I am an angel? " I asked.

" Divorce???? What are you talking about? You are one of us now. You saved my life just with a pocket knife. By the way, why did you even have a pocket knife ?" he asked.

" I always carry a pocket knife with me. Because I used to work in a bookstore, do you remember? I had to open the packages every time so I started doing it and haven't stopped until now. " I explained.

" It is really good that you worked in a bookstore. And I'm sorry for underestimating you baby. I always thought that you are weak and vulnerable. But you are strong. "

" Oh, please stop it, Liam. You are the one who threw the knife perfectly. I could have never done that. "

He leaned closer to me. " I'll teach you how to do it. I'll teach you everything that you would need to know."

I was quiet for a moment. He must be out of his mind now right now. I can't pick up a gun and kill people in front of me as he does easily. I hate guns and it's very noisy. But I didn't tell my opinion him as I didn't want to disappoint him.

It feels like a dream for me right now. He is having a conversation with me. And I don't want to ruin it.

" I'm sorry for forcing myself on you the other day. I really should have respected you. I treated you like I treat like my escort. I'll try to change myself from now on." he said.

"I liked it and I'm hoping that you would do it again," I said looking at his blue eyes.

His expression turned dark and he stared at me wildly. " Did you like it? If you liked it then why did you tell me to stop it? "

" Because I didn't want to get attached to it. Otherwise, when you are done with me, I'll be missing it badly. " I answered feeling embarrassed.

" You are not going to miss it, baby. Because you are going to get it forever," he said.

The way he said it in the sexy voice was enough to turn me on but I couldn't do anything about it as I was lying in the hospital bed.

I realized that Liam is not just my love, he is my desire now. All I need the most in my life is him right now.

It was 2 am in Russia. I have already heard about Russian winters before. But as I experienced the bone-chilling temperature of winter nights, it is taking a toll on me now. A few months ago I was enjoying the warm temperature of LA.

But now I am stuck here for my mission. And I didn't seem to hate the coolness as much I hated Liam. Taking down Liam is my only goal now. That's why I faked my death and joined forces with the Russian mafia.

Now people here call me 'znakomstvo'. It took me a few days to know it's actual meaning. It is the Russian word for acquaintance.

At least now I belonged somewhere which I deserved. I am not working my ass off for someone else. Even though I made a deal with Russians that they would get fifty percent, it was still worth it.

Because Hollywood is the biggest network in the world. That was a place where money flows like a river and that bastard Liam rules it. He created the businessman identify in front of media so that no one would suspect a thing that he is the Drug Lord of LA.

He can wash his drug money easily by producing movies and no one would suspect a thing. He inherited the empire easily from his father without any struggle. While I am now freezing in cold, he is now probably partying with his escorts.

I hired assassins to kill him. But he escaped every time. He killed Natasha, the most skilled assassin. But Hector managed to survive.

I need to know if his plan succeeded or not. He hijacked Liam's private jet. That was the last information he heard from Hector. But now he needed a damn update.

It has been 2 hours now. I have no idea what was happening there. Looks like Liam found a way to turn around the situation as usual.

Thomas came to me looking exhausted. He is tired of all drama that had been revolving around Hector. He said that her sister betrayed him by surrendering to Liam.

And now he says that one of his assassin named Cece betrayed him. I'm seriously regretting my decision of hiring Hector now. He has the potential, but he is like a drama king and very unprofessional.

" It's been more than 2 hours. Looks like we need to come up with a new plan." Thomas said.

I nodded looking down. It was really good to have Tomas around. He was the only other person who spoke English here. I now started to learn Russian.

It seems so hard to learn a new language. Suddenly, I received a notification on phone. It was something about a plane crash near LA.

I scrolled down and was disappointed to see that Liam survived. How is this even possible?

How did he manage to survive this time? Maybe he was alerted by someone. But who could it be?

Only Hector and a circle member knew about it. Or maybe he just messed up the plan as usual.

He must have done something dramatically and alerted Liam as usual. So it's my fault basically for hiring such a reckless idiot.

Now Liam gets to run his empire and live like a king for even more days.

" Zanakomy, we have got an update. " said the techie guy.

" What is it?" I asked annoyed. If Liam is still alive then there is no good news for me.

" I received a message from the assassins," he said.

" Read it out loud. " I said mostly feeling disinterested. The leader of the assassins is dead now, what message do these minions have.

' I might have failed the mission, but I am still alive. I am not stopping until I end Liam. He took away everything from me including one of my eyes. I'm in my safe house now and I'll contact you once the situation gets better. '

I was stunned for a while after hearing the message. Hector is still alive!
