"My life is now yours."
Lucian heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Aisha's answer, his muscles relax and he breathed deeply, while having a hard time controlling his emotions. He felt delirious with joy, moreover, he felt like thousands of weights had been lifted of his shoulders.
He had prepared himself for a long battle, clearly he didn't expect that Aisha will agreed to his condition very quickly. It seems that she really desperately need his help.
But for what reason? With Aisha's skills, intelligence, and power, defeating that person wouldn't be too imposible, she had at least 57% probability of success.
Unless, she will be strip off her power...
When Lucian had thought about this, he couldn't help but to widen his smirk.
So, that's her plan? Indeed, Aisha's too cunning. Those who doubt her will surely crumbles into her feet.
This will be exciting, the show has just started but he couldn't help but to anticipate the ending now.
But for now...
Aisha De La Torre, don't you dare back on your words now. Your life is now mine.
Lucian had a little smirk of satisfaction in his mouth.
This stoic lady beside him, she was just an arm's reach and yet she was also too distant. But he don't mind, not one bit, because he will make sure to use his time to cross that distance between them.
And when he did, she will be his.
"But only if you will comply to all my wishes."
Lucian blinks, ah, it seems that taming this wild lady in front of him will not be too easy.
"Of course," Lucian agreeds. He pours an another glass, and gave it to Aisha while he picks his. "I'll do whatever you wishes if it's within my capabilities."
Aisha looks at his glass and clinks hers with his as a sign of agreement.
"Then, may I ask Ms. Aisha to tell me her plans so that the whole forces of Lumière famiglia will not act something that is against by your plan."
Aisha finished the wine in her glass before answering, "I think you are mistaken, I don't need the whole forces of the Lumière famiglia."
Lucian was a bit surprise, then what does she wants?
"As for my plans, I will tell you but not just yet but first, I want you to uplift your orders about not messing up with the De La Torre famiglia. I'm afraid it will alarm our enemies that we have some kind of alliance."
Lucian had wanted to say something first but as he heard Aisha's reasoning, he finally understood her intentions.
Their enemy was someone who likes lurk behind the curtains while controlling his men, and that's why Aisha wanted to use the same tactic.
The Lumière famiglia is thrice as huge as the De La Torre famiglia, if he uses his whole forces, it will only alarm the enemies and be wary to make any moves, making it harder for them to know who that person is and to make a move against him. So the fewer their forces will be the better.
Putting bits of information together, Lucian had guessed half of Aisha's plan and couldn't even more amaze.
Even though he had always know about it, the reason why Aisha was called Queen of the Mafia, it was hard not to feel amaze when seeing it before his eyes.
Truly remarkable, her plan is almost flawless.
As for Aisha, she believe that Lucian has high IQ so she has no plans of elaborating her plans to him.
"Here is my personal email, let's talk about our plans and share the informations we have. It is safe and no one can hack through that account, not even Amber Iliana."
Aisha gave Lucian a small card and a USB flash drive, while Lucian was more than happy to accept it.
"Also, this USB contains the information about the traitors in both the De La Torre and Cavelli famiglia, I suspected that if not all, most of them are working for that person.
Looking back at what happened these past four months, I must say that he executed his plans very well and is great at controlling people.
Sadly though, he chose me as his enemy and there is no way that he will succeed."
Lucian stared at the flash drive in his palm and smile at Aisha. "So the spider's web has already been laid, and with a trap?"
"All that was remain is to wait for the prey to fall into the trap." Aisha answered him with confidence.
They discuss some more before signing a new contract, even though a contract was just a piece of paper in the mafia world, it held no significance but they still do it out of formalities.
It was then they heard a knock from outside. It was Skyler, he asked for Lucian because one of their illegal manufactory of weapon has encountered some mishaps. They are about to sell the weapons for the Montreal famiglia but the other party had ambushed their men and steal the weapons.
Once Aisha heard this, she knew that the Montreal famiglia is finished.
Lucian was now in a bad mood, he was enjoying his time with Aisha but it just had to end because of the Montreals, he will show no mercy when dealing with them.
"I guess this is goodbye for now," Aisha shrugs, her hand reaching for the gun in her suitcase together with the newly signed contract. "This is Reid's gun, I assume it was something important to him. No need to worry, I didn't plant any tracking device whatsoever inside of it."
Lucian get the gun from her and gave her a sly smirk. "Want to know where I live? Just say it and I will give it to you."
Skyler, who is waiting outside, had his mouth twitched. Although his Boss' words isn't inappopriate in some levels, but why does his tone sounds like he is flirting?
After Lucian and Skyler left, Aisha stayed in the bar, she is drinking an another bottle of hard liquor.
The staffs and the manager are all crying in their hearts. How badly they wanted to go home and rest but couldn't because of their VIP costumer who seems to enjoy her time here.
After some time, Aisha reached for her own handkerchief in her coat, and wipes the small drop of blood on the edge of the table. It wasn't hers but Lucian's. The shards prickled his skin without his knowing while removing the shards in her hand.
A slow, cunning, and devilish smirk slowly form at her lips.
Almost half of her plans are executed, what she needed was to act accordingly to the play she orchestrated and have those fools in the palm of her hands, after that, all was left was to...
"Enjoy the show."
