New York (At 11:00 am)

Tessa Scott:

"Hey! Get the fuck out"- I yelled while kicking him out of the bed.

"What the fuck"- He replied yawning.

He quickly wrapped himself with the white sheets because he was practically naked.

"Last night, when we both were done screwing each other, you should have left. I told you clearly before entering the house." I snapped back while wearing my red laced bra.

Then I took one of my shirts to wear. I could feel his eyes all over me.

"What"- I asked looking at him.

"What's wrong If I slept here last night" -He asked back.

"It was one-night stand, no feelings, no names remembered. So, you can't stay here"- I replied harshly.

"So now take your clothes and get the fuck out, before I beat your shit"- I said again rudely.

He said- "bitch"

"Douche" I snapped back while he was leaving, slamming my door behind.

I rolled my eyes and grabbed my underwear to wear them.

I played a song, "Love me like you do" and went to take a shower.

20 minutes later

Wearing a white tank top with little black skirt and a black heel. I went to the café near my house. I opened the door of the café and went in, towards the food counter.

"Hey Elon" I murmured softly.

"Hey beautiful, how was your night" He asked.

I shrugged, and he scowled, asking "Wasn't it good?"

"It was okay" I replied.

"Okay.... Just okay..... Was he not handsome" He chuckled.

"He was but.....he was not that good in bed" I replied.

"You always say that about everyone" He replied.

"Can we please not talk about my sex life" I snapped.

"As you say" He answered.

"Well I want..."

As soon as I could complete my sentence, Elon cut me in by stating "Coffee with no sugar, little milk and a one spoon of whipped cream"

"You are getting better day by day" I chuckled.

Elon smiled.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you something" Elon uttered.

"What" I asked.

"Exactly at 9:00 am, there was this anonymous person came to the café searching for you" He whispered coming close to me.

"Well then you should have given my address to them and What's there to whisper about it" I asked.

"Because he was not searching for you (i.e. Tessa) instead he was asking for the Soul" He scoffed.

"Oh but you should have told him that I am not currently taking any job" I replied.

"I need a vacation" I yawned while stretching.

He scowls "Seriously you have taken countless vacations recently."

I shrugged.

"And by the way, he was offering 100 million dollars" He expressed while chuckling.

"Whoa that's a lot" I was surprised.

"But let me remind you with lot amount of money comes lot amount of danger" He uttered.

"I know, every business has his danger" I replied.

"So are you going to take it" He asked.

"I will think about it" I replied while taking my coffee and I started to walk out of the café.

I was about to leave,, but I stopped and turned back towards the Elon.

"There is an invitation to Carlo's family party, and I'm taking you there with me as plus one" I uttered while pointing the finger towards him.

"Really" He asked wide open.

"But there is a condition" I stated husky.

He shrugged.

"You can't come in that clothes. You have to wear a tux" I replied again pointing at his clothes.

I left the café and I could hear the voice coming from behind.

"Where would I get the tux" Elon yelled?

I chuckled and messaged him the address of the best clothes shop.



At 9:00 pm

"Hey dad, how are you. I hope you are doing great, and I am doing great here, don't worry about me. Love you a lot" I sent that message to my dad.

Here is the thing, my dad is an American mafia leader, and I am his only child, Tessa Scott. Two years ago, when my mother died due to a war between the mafia family. My dad became more protective of me. He never let me leave the house alone. Whenever I had to go somewhere, I had to bring these 10 bodyguards with me. Even for my dates, I had to bring them along. And just because of the bodyguards, my every friend and even my boyfriends they were scared from me. I soon became alone. No one was there for me, not even my father because he was too busy with his leadership. So one day I made a deal with my dad.

If I can beat his best bodyguard, he will let me leave this city, and he will let me live a new life with the freedom that I want. He agreed because he thought I couldn't even beat any of his bodyguards.

I exactly did a training for one year. I learned all the best skills, and even I learned how to shoot.

When I completed my training, my father arranged a fight between me and his one of the best bodyguards. I tried my best to fight with him. But, unfortunately, I lost the fight.

For a whole week, I couldn't even walk because of the fight. I was in bad shape. My entire body was having bruises.

Flashback

One day my dad came to me, he asked, "How am I doing?"

I was upset about the fight and more of that I was embarrassed that I couldn't even win. Forgot about the winning, I couldn't even harm his hair.

"I am good" I murmured softly.

"Now you understand that you are not ready yet"- He asked.

"I do" I murmured, sobbing.

"Do you really want to go to another city for a living" He asked.

"I do, but now I can't go, right" I replied.

"Actually, you can by negotiating" He chuckled.

"Are you really agreeing to let me go New York" I scoffed in surprise.

"You want to go New York" He asked.

"Yes, you remember that mother always used to talk about New York, I want to go there and see by myself" I requested.

"Please please" I stated while making this puppy face.

"If you really wish to go to New York, I don't see any problem there because I have many connections there, and you would be safe there" He replied shrugging.

"Oh, really, I can go there. Thank you so much, dad." I replied while hugging my dad in excitement.

"But" He muttered while breaking the hug.

"But what" I replied nervously.

"You have to report me everyday by calling me and, If I don't take your calls, you can message me, but you cannot miss the call. If you experience any problem with anything, just come back home soon or just call me." He stated.

I nodded while agreeing with his terms.

"And one more thing, you cannot tell anyone about your real identity and that means you cannot tell anyone that you are my daughter" He mumbles.

"I understand that" I murmured softly.

"You know if they knew you were my daughter, they would use you as bait to get me. So be careful, and you have to continue your training there." He uttered.

"I agree with everything" I muttered.

"So you are good to go" He replied, smiling.

I chuckled while hugging him.

Flashback ends

Carlo's house

"You are late"- I uttered in anger while scrolling through my phone.

"I am sorry, I couldn't get the tuxedo on time" Elon gasped.

I glanced from my phone to Elon's clothes. He was wearing a black shirt with blue pants, and a sport shoes.

I sighed and went back towards my car, grabbed a bag from the back seat and gave that bag to Elon.

"What's this" He asked.

"Open it" I replied.

Elon was opening the bag.

"This tuxedo is from the same shop that I messaged you" I uttered in a rage.

"Okay you got me" He sighed.

"I don't like wearing a tuxedo" He uttered.

"Well then you should have told me earlier" I uttered it.

"This was the first time when you were asking me out" Elon mumbled.

"If you want to come, you have to wear it because it's mandatory." I replied, getting close to him.

Elon sighed.

10 minutes from now

"Is it better now?" Elon asked.

I glanced at him from toe to head, he was wearing a gray tux, brownish eyes, clean shave and a perfect cut jaw.

He narrowed his eyes, glancing at me. I chuckled.

"You look like a" I whispered.

"What" Elon Chuckled.

"Like a gentleman" I gasped.

"Can I" He whispered while asking for my hand.

"Of course" I chuckled.

We walked together, hand in hand, towards the door.

At the door, there was this security man standing with the list of guests names.

"Can I have your name, please" The security man asked.

"Soul" I uttered while smiling.

After listening the name, the security man gasped, and he glanced me from toe to head.

"Are you done watching me" I questioned.

He made a sound of his throat clearing and said, "I am sorry, you can go in."

He opened the door for us and gave us two beautiful masks.

We wore them and went in. As we entered, I saw the grand hall, full of people. They were all whispering, socializing with each other. Everyone at that party was wearing masks. For women's there was a half face black feather masquerade mask and for men there was this half face golden masquerade mask. Every woman at that party was wearing a ravishing gown and every man was wearing a suit. These clothes cost a lot because this is a mafia party. If I notice this party closely, I can find as many colors as I want. From outside these people are all perfect wearing suit and gowns but from inside, I can assure that they all are carrying a gun for their protection. They are in a society in which they depend on trust, but If there is a slight chance that one of them can break their trust, they will not think twice before killing them.

I can see these people laughing, dancing and holding wines on their hand, but I can say that they are finding that one chance to break each other. I have been to these parties. Here are the people who are most selfish and dominant. I know, I belong to this community as I am one of them. First, I am the daughter of an American mafia and second, It's about my job because I am a Hunter who kills people. So, I am not better than them.

"Excuse me"

I heard a voice coming from behind. I turned, I saw a waiter holding a tray on his hand.

"This is for you, have a good day"

He uttered while placing his tray in front of me.

In the tray there was a glass of wine. I grabbed that, stating "Thank you".

"There is a note for you" Elon scoffed while picking that note from the tray.

"Dear Soul,

meet me upstairs, room no. 3"

Elon mumbled while reading the note.

"Someone is eagerly waiting for you" Elon muttered while handing over the note to me.

The waiter left.

"Someone is" I whispered while taking a sip of wine.

"What do you think, who is this?" Elon questioned.

"Good Evening Miss"

I heard a voice, this voice was familiar because I know who this is. I turned towards the voice and there was this man, wearing a black suit, dark black eyes with gray hairs, standing in the center holding a glass of wine. He is "Daniel Carlo".

"Long time huh" Daniel uttered.

"Long time" I replied.

"How are you?" He asked.

"Cut the bullshit" I scowled.

"I was just asking how are you" He asked again.

"You invited me just to ask how am I" I uttered angrily.

"No, I didn't invite you to ask how are you. I invited you so that I can strengthen this relationship" He uttered.

"Well I am not interested in your little relationship thing" I replied rudely.

"Okay, but my offer still stands for you" He stated while leaving from there.

"Asshole" I mumbled.

"Do you know him" Elon asked.

"You remember, I killed a man who was indulged in a sex trafficking" I declared it.

"Yeah, Diego, right?" He asked.

"Yes, Diego Hudson is a right hand of Daniel Carlo" I stated.

"You killed his right hand" Elon mumbled.

"I did and that to in front of Daniel himself" I uttered while taking another sip.

"You never mentioned that to me" Elon asked.

"Maybe, I forgot to mention that" I stated while breaking the eye contact with Elon.

"Oh, you did not forget to mention, instead you intentionally never mentioned it." Elon mumbles rudely.

"If I had mentioned that thing, you would have told my dad everything" I whispered.

"Of course, I would because I had to. You don't know how these people are, and you exactly killed his man in front of him. Are you insane?" Elon yelled.

"I don't know how these people are, really? I am fucking one of them, I exactly know how they are, and I can handle them." I snapped back.

"You can handle them? How exactly are you going to handle them, by messing with them?" Elon yelled again.

I ignored him by not looking at him.

"I had to kill him okay, he was the head of sex trafficking" I mumble.

"I am not saying that you should have not killed him instead, I am saying that you should have not killed him in front of Daniel." Elon yelled.

"You could have killed him in private, you could have laid low, and you could have not disclosed yourself in front of Daniel that you are the one killing his right hand" Elon Snapped rudely.

"I killed him in front of Daniel because I thought if Diego is Daniel's right hand and Diego is the head of that fucking trafficking than Daniel would be behind of that" I snapped back.

"Well that was not our concern, You got a job of killing a person, you kill them in private without disclosing your real identity and at the end you get that money. That was the deal between us when you started this job" Elon reminded me.

I didn't reply anything to him. He sighed and again asked, "What is the offer, Daniel, talking about."

"I killed his right hand in front of him so, now he wants me to be his right hand" I murmured softly.

"What" Elon scoffed.

"Well, I am not taking the offer" I replied.

"That doesn't make sense because he is still pestering you for the offer" Elon mumbled.

"I can handle him" I replied.

"I think we should call your father" Elon uttered.

"Hell no, we are not telling this to my father" I uttered.

"Just trust me, I will handle this" I mumble while placing my hand on his shoulder.

He nodded as agreeing.

"You stay here, I'll be back" I uttered.

"Where are you going?" Elon asked.

"To meet this mystery man" I chuckled while showing that note to Elon.
