RAVEN BEAUTY

THE MAFIA GALA

I took out my sparkly green gown which has a long slit and put on some makeup, making my eyes little smoky and my lips glossy. I tied my hair in a messy bun. I went for matching dark green heels. I looked at myself in the long mirror and thought I look presentable.

I went outside to see my whole team ready in there gala outfits. I noticed all their jaws were dropped and were looking at me except Noah who is furiously trying to settle his bow tie.

"Everyone! Check your weapons." I commanded. "Earpiece?" I asked. "Check" they shouted in unison. We all have different earpiece in different form for example I have it as my bracelet and Noah has it in his bow tie. "Our Plan is to keep an eye on the Swiss and Italian Mafia that is Zach and Royce, Nothing more. I don't want a fight tonight! Just observe these two!" after a long pause I said "Go!"

I checked my daggers which are wrapped around my thigh and small gun too. I checked my gold bracelet too. Everyone has left the room and now it is my turn.

I am now walking towards the hall where this gala is being held. I crossed numerous people in the hotel and all they did was gawk me. I got the stares of jealousy and hate from the women, lust and admiration from men. I ignored them all and made my way towards the mission.

The moment I entered the hall I felt a buzz of electricity from my wrist and a voice came "Stop walking like that Bitch! You are gaining Attention!" Noah said through earpiece and I rolled my eyes. I now started descending the grand stairs and felt everyone's eyes on me. I didn't even look at them, not making an eye contact. My head high, like a queen.

The moment I got down I went towards the bar area ignoring everyone. Then suddenly I saw the familiar pair of forest green eyes looking at me with so much intensity and heat. His eyes raked over my body like a hungry hyena. I turned my head towards the bartender who was giving me a flirtatious smile and I order my drink.

"I feel very nervous!" Noah came by side shaking a little bit. "What happened?" I asked while sipping my drink. "There is a 90 year old women, she tried to kiss me" he said and I almost spilled my drink. "Oh My God" Noah said in harsh Whisper. "Don't look back. Royce Bianchi is looking at you. Actually no, he is glaring at me." he said laughing nervously.

"Oh God, that grandma is coming here, I am going to hide somewhere" Noah said and ran away. I turned towards the women and saw her helplessly looking here and there for Noah.

A brown hair boy with baby blue eyes came towards me and asked me to dance with him. "No! She will not!" someone said from behind me and I don't even have to turn around to see who it is. Boy's eyes became wide with terror and he went away.

"Hello Royce" I said in my famous seductive tone while slowly turning around. "Long time no see" I said. He offered me his hand, "Dance with me" he ordered. I looked towards the Blonde Girl who came with Royce was fuming with anger. I chuckled and said "I don't think your fuck toy over there would like that." I said pointing towards the girl. He didn't even look at her; his eyes were fixated on me.

He took the glass from my hand and tossed it to the bartender and took my arm. He led us to the dance floor and the music started playing automatically. It was like a déjà vu, Royce and me dancing again in the middle of the hall everyone watching us. The smell of his cologne filling my nostrils making me crazy. "You smell so good just like 7 years ago, just like Aster Alpinus" he said in my ear. His voice is so deep, it sends shiver in my body. "Stop it" I hissed.

I need to control myself, he is my brother in law for god sake and my team members must be listening this. He didn't utter a single word after that and he twirl me around making my gown flare. I looked up at him meeting his eyes "How's Andrea?" I asked. He frowned and said "Alive! For now...but I'll make sure she dies soon"

My eyes went wide "How can you say that about your wife" I asked. He chuckled and said "who said I married her?"

What the hell is happening? I am confused. "I was never going to marry her Arya" he said, his eyes softening. The grip of his hand tightening around my waist. "I...I was looking for you for 7 years, searching for you...I wanted you" he said. I looked at him in shock. I turned my head towards the fuming Blonde girl and chuckled "ya! You were" I said mockingly. "She is nothing to me" he said "Go to hell" I said and walked away.

How dare he! He has no right to play with my emotions like that. He can't even respect the women he is with right now, how could he respect me?

I was almost on the verge to cry and wasn't looking where I was going. Then I got bumped into someone and fell down and saw crying Noah. "What Happened?" I asked. "She almost raped me" he said. "Who?" I asked in pure horror. "That Grandma, She is very Strong" he said "I pushed her from the balcony of 50th Floor" Noah Said. "What? Are you crazy?" I hissed.

"I told you I didn't want any fight today" I said in angry tone. "She deserved that" he shouted. "Go into your room and I will handle this" I said and went towards the grandma's dead body. Great just Great.
