ZEMEN ACÉTTA:

I scanned everyone's body language who were present in the room, standing there awkwardly not knowing what I'd be asking or telling them.

"Do any of you know why I have you here?"

All my guards, my women and men looked at each other, confused and then back at me and shook their head.

"You 39 people are going to witness something today..... Something fun."

"But boss there's 40 people here" obviously he had to speak up not knowing that he'll be the one putting on a show for every 39 of the people.

I dismissed his voice and stuffed my hands inside my pockets.

"A month ago, Jade hired new recruits and one of them just happens to be Terence. Terence, come here beside me. Right where you belong."

His eyes widened when I looked right at him.

He slowly walked up to me and stood beside me.

"Terrence, everyone. Everyone....... Meet the rat."

Eyebrows shot up, jaw dropped, and gasps were heard.

I saw Terence gulp from my peripheral vision and I smirked.

"There's only one type of person who gets to stand beside me...... My traitors.... It's easier to snap their neck within reach."

Levi and Santino had their murderous looks fixated on Terence who was looking back at them with the same amount of energy.

"Dovremmo parlare tutti in italiano perché è la lingua madre di Terence." (We all should speak in Italian, as Terence is quite aware of it.)

My team knew italian so all of them grew more confused when I said my sentence.

"Boss.... It-it is not what you think." I turned to him with raised eyebrows.

"Oh.... No?" He immediately shook his head making me ball my fists.

I fucking despise liars.

"I-it was Jade! She was always suspicious! Plus she's not even here right now. I bet sh-"

I interrupted his shit talk by raising my hand.

"Oh she is a traitor...... But she didn't betray me."

On cue, Jade walked in making everyone's eyes snap to her.

"Y-you?!" Terence pointed at Jade with wide eyes while all she did was roll eyes.

"That-that's Mila! Boss-I mean, Alejandro's sniper!" He looked at me and then at Jade making me scoff.

How slow can one be?

"Ever wondered why she always missed her targets?"

His eyes were widened to the point where they were almost out of his sockets.

Jade paid him no heed, "Boss, can I take this all off now. I am fucking tired" she groaned and I nodded.

She threw away her red wig revealing her black hair and took off her grey lenses revealing her natural blue eyes.

Displays of gasps could be heard all over the room. Even my most trusted ones didn't know about this. Not even Levi.

"Jade!!?"

~FLASHBACK IN JADE'S POV~

I looked at each disgusting bastard who was standing in the basement room.

"So, when will you have a go at her boss?" Terence asked Alejandro and he smirked.

"We should do it tonight, take turns"

"Let's bet on who makes her scream the loudest."

To say I was disgusted would be an understatement.

"Calm down boys... We will. Tonight." He winked at all and I rolled my eyes.

Not on my watch, old fart.

"We shouldn't." I spoke making everyone's head snap towards me.

"We are selling her to our biggest client tomorrow. We can't afford to have bruises on her body."

The fuckers nodded and looked at each other.

"You got brains Mila." I smiled at Terence just wanting to dig my acrylic nails into him.

They all agreed and I sighed knowing that we will attack tomorrow and in no way are we going to let Azariah suffer.

"Don't give her food or water. She's been a bitch lately." Alejandro said and walked away with his minions behind him.

As soon as they all left, I went to her cell.

She didn't look like the Azariah I knew.

She looked broken, miserable and in pain.

Her eyes were puffy red from crying and her dress was torn with blood covering making the once white shirt of Levi, now a crimson red.

I walked up to her and it took everything in me to not reach out to her and get her out of here as soon as possible.

But I couldn't, boss has it all planned out and I can't fuck it up. I don't want to feel his wrath.

I handed her the pizza and in a very stern and cold tone she said, "Take this away. I am not eating this drugged shit."

I slightly smiled.

"Trust me, boss would never drug you."

~FLASHBACK OF JADE'S POV ENDS~

I looked back at the fucker who was now tremoring as his life is probably flashing before his eyes.

"Good work Jade." She smiled at me.

"Of course, boss." She walked up to stand beside Levi who gave her a dirty look.

Someone doesn't look happy.

"How do you know if I am actually a traitor? I was there to protect Azariah too."

I slowly looked at him.

Is his brain in his dick?

I rolled my eyes once I remembered how he gave it away.

Tell me, what exactly happened?"

"Sí. She ran outside and was looking quite happy, she was dressed nicely in a dress and-"

I raised my hand to stop him and he bowed.

With that, I left for the warehouse.

I got every answer I needed.

I clearly saw in the footage that she was wearing Levi's shirt. And Azariah a dress? What a fucking joke. I had Jessie to beg her to put on that gold dress when we were going to the club.

I got out of my trance and leaned back looking at him.

"How-"

"Oh maybe it was your late night talks with Alejandro or maybe it was you sneaking out to meet him" I winked at him and he balled his fists.

"Ever since you joined, I was onto you. You have that skeptical fucked up face that gave it away. So, I sent Jade in there as a recruit and for the past month, you thought you were ahead of us.... When in reality, all you were doing was setting up a bed full of nails for your own filthy self."

His eyes were roaming around the room with utter disbelief evident in his eyes.

"You deserve something worse than torture.... I gave you food, water, shelter, protection and all you did was backstab me." I scoffed.

He smirked and looked at me.

"I am not the only one who betrayed you."

He said referring to Azariah.

I hummed and nodded my head.

"Claire did too." I narrowed my eyes on him and he looked down muttering 'shit'

Claire was the girl's name whom Alejandro used to frame Azariah of stealing my files.

Only her back was shown. The same brown hair was falling down her back.

My eyes moved down to her ass.

Her ass isn't like this. It's more full and rounded with her hips acquainting her wai-

"Boss. Why are you looking down!? I am telling you it's not Azariah! We have more important matters right now than her ass!" Levi shouted and banged his fists on the table.

"Never. Underestimate your enemy." I walked up to him and punched him hard in his face.

"Levi! Turn on the recorder. Let's see what Alejandro will say about his right hand man dying."

"B-boss" I looked at Levi to see him gulp.

No one was ready to see a blood bath at 7 in the morning and all looked shaken up.

"Levi now!" My stern voice was enough for him to nod immediately and start the recording.

Screams of pain and misery echoed in the room as I tore his ear, chipped his nails, shred his skin and cut his dick away.

"Zemen stop." I felt a hand on my arm and I looked beside me to see Bernice looking at me with tears in her eyes.

But I was too mad to realize my sister was about to get traumatized.

"Fuck off before I pierce a bullet through you."

Everyone was shocked as they all know I NEVER talk to Bernice like that. But I was too much of a goner.

He pissed me and nothing in this world can save him from me.

I picked him up by his collar and took him down to the basement where his sister was.

Santino and Levi followed me.

Terence looked at me with his swollen black blue, half lidded eye which widened when he saw his wife and sister chained in a chair across from him.

"No! No! Don't touch them!"

"Aye. Shhhhh!" I slapped him and kept a finger on my lip.

I hate when they talk too much.

"Now... Choose. Wifey or sissy." I pointed my knife on each of their neck while they were crying hard.

He was squirming around in his seat trying to break the chains off his body.

"Leave them out of this!" He screamed loudly, his voice echoing in the basement of the mansion.

"Choose or both die..... One..."

"N-No." He whispered with tears rolling down his eyes.

"Baby, choose her. It's okay. I'll meet you after life...I'll be there." His wife said.

I tsked and walked up to his wife.

"He'll be in hell babe, with his other wife." Her eyes widened at the new found information.

"B-baby. H-he is lying... Pl-please."

I looked at the wife and then at him. Enjoying this way too much.

"Not only that but he also has three other daughters which he has raped." Levi added for the cherry on top.

The wife fell down from her chair making the chains rattle around her.

"How could you!?" Her high pitched cries filled the room making me cover my ears before blood start dripping from them.

"Enough of the family drama. You. Choose one bitch, I have other things to do."

"I- no. I-I can't" his shoulders slouched down.

I clicked my gun and his head rose.

"Tania! My wife! Kill her! Please." My eye brows furrowed.

"No need to say please, I'll do it. My pleasure."

I went to his wife and shot her right in her stomach.

"That's two lives there" his eyes widen when he realized what I meant.

"No!! No!!" He thrashed in his chair but Santino held him.

"Life is short and you used that amount of shortness to fuck up."

He screamed as Santino threw oil at him before burning him right in front of his sister's eyes.

His ear piercing screams boomed and the fire danced in my eyes looking at the rotting soul now.

"How's the fireworks?" I whispered to the sister, pointing at the burning traitor now.

She jumped back with a squeal making me smirk.

"L-let go of me- I -I have a son."

I knew it was wrong for me to kill her but do I look like I give a fuck?

I shot her right in between her eyes making her life easy as she won't suffer in pain.

"Clean this up"

I ordered both of them and left the basement and soon after his screams quiet down.

••••••••••••••••

Present:

The car haltered and I stepped out, clicking my gun and putting it's safety off, because the shit that was about to go down was definitely not safe.

Other vans stopped just right behind my car and all my men and women got out clicking their guns in unison.

"Levi y Raymond, cubren el área. Jessie, Jade ven conmigo" (Levi and Raymond, cover the area. Jessie, Jade come with me. )

I spoke in a cold accent telling them that I want no slip ups.

"Sí alguien encuentra a Alejandro, tráemelo vivo. Entendido?"(If anyone finds Alejandro, bring him back alive. Got it?)

"Sí Rey!" All synchronized.

"Noah, está usted con nosotros?" (Noah, are you with us?)

I asked him through my ear piece.

"Sí jefe, estoy en las cámaras. ellos saben que estás aquí." (Yes boss, I am in the cameras and they know you're here.)

"Fuck" I muttered and looked up at the building.

"Si ves a Azaríah, infórmame de inmediato." (If you see Azariah, inform me immediately)

I didn't wait for his response and turned to the others.

"Go in and out. No fuck ups. Mission is to get Azariah. If not fullfilled, I'll make your life a living hell."

All nodded except for one.

"My baby boy is so grown up." Levi wiped his tears making me blink.

"Levi. No me hagas gastar mi bala en ti" (Levi, don't make me waste my bullet on you)

He frowned and stood with the others.

Soon after, we all burst into the doors of the burnt abandoned building breaking and trashing things around.

It looked exactly like the one he has in Barcelona where he trapper her.

I held my gun in front of me, ready to shoot any son of a bitch that crosses my path.

Crack!

I swung my elbow back breaking the nose of that someone who thought attacking me from the back was a good idea.

He stood up and ran to charge himself at me and I just simply took a step to my left making him run past me and hit his head on the wall behind me.

Seeing that fucker, his other minions came up at me all at once.

"Santino, what's the verdict?" I punched the person on my right and kicked the person behind him, throwing him on the other two that were ready to charge at me.

One grabbed my leg and I directly hit his nose.

"Nothing is seen from up here boss" Santino was a world known sniper and was known for having millions of kills on his record because of his snipping skills.

"Keep an eye out and tell me when you see some activity."

"Yes b-"

I cut the call before his response and ducked my head causing another person to hit his head on the wall as he thought it was smart to sneak up behind me.

I dusted my hands and looked at the pile of six who were now groaning and moaning in pain making me roll my eyes.

"Where's your sorry excuse of a boss?" I collared one bastard who had his head bleeding open making me see his ripped open brain.

He spat blood on my face and yelled, "Fuck yourself"

"Nah" I took his neck in my hands and snapped his head to the left and dropped him on the other five making them groan even more.

Why use gun when you have hands?

"You. Tell me. Now." I pointed at a blonde boy who looked in his early twenties.

"No! You'll kill me eventually! I won't!"

I rolled my eyes and picked him up by his hair.

"I'll torture you till you beg me to finish your life if you don't spill right here, right now." Tears rolled down his eyes and he shut his eyes close.

"I-I don't know about him but I know where his queen is."

I gritted my teeth at his choice of words.

"What the fuck Franco?!" A man beside him said, clutching his broken arm.

"H-he has my sister. He'll kill her eventually, I know." I looked at the boy who was genuinely shook and now was holding my hand for support as he looked like he was about to pass out.

"Where is she?" I removed his hand from around my arm and pushed him away from my hold.

"To the le-"

"Take me there."

He looked at me for a minute as if he was thinking deeply.

"Don't do it Franco- *shot*"

Before the idiot could complete his sentence I took his head shot and looked back at Franco who was whimpering with his eyes closed.

"Save my sister after this and kill me. Please." He didn't say anything after that and ran to the left making me follow him.

~◌~✤✤~◌~

AZARIAH SERENE:

Multiple gunshots echoed around the basement and I looked down the window only to find three black SUV vans standing there.

He's here!

He's here for me!

I stood up, wiped my tears and ran to the door.

I pushed the handle and it opened....

Why didn't the idiot lock the door before scurrying off?

Never mind. I am not complaining.

I smiled to myself and looked to my left and right and then took a step only to be stopped by a gun's click.

I looked down and saw a little boy looking up at me with his green eyes.

......With a gun in his hands.

My eyes widened and I stepped back.

"S-step b-back!" He pushed my leg in an attempt to make me fall but that failed.

He was holding a gun which was twice his size.

I saw myself in him. He was shaking and trembling as tears fell from his eyes. Just like me when I held a gun for the first time.

I raised one hand in surrender and held the door handle with my other hand, reaching out for it behind my back.

"Amadio!" Our head whipped to the direction of the sound.

"What are you doing?! Put the gun away!" The man in a velvet mask, as expected, took a step forward to the little boy.

"N-no! The bo-boss said to ki-kill her! He'll let m-mom go!"

My eyes widened. Alejandro asked him to kill me? To let his mom go?

How sick of a bastard can he be?!

"Fine" the other man grumbled making me stumble back with tears rolling down my cheeks.

I looked at the boy. "I-I will help you. Don't do this." My voice was just above a whisper but he just shook his head vigorously and shot me right in my lower stomach.

I fell on my knees with a thud, clutching the side of my waist, groaning in pain.

I didn't miss the look on the boy's face. His face was blank with his eyes widened, tears falling furiously now.

"Let's go, Amadio." the man walked away after ordering the boy.

But the boy, Amadio, kept looking at me while I had fat tears rolling down my cheeks. I closed my eyes tightly, biting my lip hard.

It was like someone was ripping my flesh with their claws.

It hurt like a son of a filthy bitch and I just kept whimpering and crying knowing my end is near.

"AZARIAH!"

My eyes shot open when I heard his voice.

"Zemen" my voice came out in a barely audible whisper.

I looked at the boy to see him shaking with a hand on his mouth.

"L-listen to me. Run, run as fast as you can. Save your mom."

He nodded his head and crouched down beside me.

"I-Iam s-sorry." His hiccups matched my own groans.

"There are monsters in this world, defeat them not become one."

He closed his eyes letting his lashes fall over his rose cheeks.

"Run." I knew Zemen was going to kill him and that's probably what Alejandro wanted too. That bastard made the boy just a pawn in his game and blackmailed him as a bait for his mother.

I knew this story all too well.

I closed my eyes and turned to my side making my forehead touch the cold floor.

"Azariah!" I felt him picking me up in his arms and I immediately curled towards him.

"I-I missed you" that was the only thing I said before passing out in his arms which were now red due to my immense bleeding.

~◌~✤✤~◌~

ZEMEN ACÉTTA:

I followed him and saw Azariah on the ground with a boy holding a gun.

"AZARIAH!" My heart started palpitating at the sight of her.

The boy looked at me and Azariah muttered a small 'run' to him and he nodded and ran as soon as he saw me coming close.

I saw Levi coming from the left.

"Levi, chase that motherfucker!" I pointed where that little piece of shit ran but Levi looked at Azariah and froze.

"Levi fucking go!" Levi shook his head and ran into the direction where the boy ran.

I rushed to Azariah and held her close to my chest.

"I-I missed you." She spoke with half lidded eyes.

"Don't close your eyes, Azariah!" I shook her head but she just smiled at me and cupped my cheek with her trembling and bruised hand.

I held her hand in mine but soon it slipped from my cheek and down to her body.

"Azariah!.....Azariah!" I shook her head and pressed my ear to her chest to listen to her heartbeat only to find it faint.
