"Good morning, I am Alex Volkov, a.k.a Xelv," I said in my introduction in front of the leader of The Alpha Dogs, also my soon-to-be boss Kai.
"Hmm... your expectations are nice and your work is even better, I assume you are good for this job but your respective alignment in my branch can be different from others," he said with his husky voice sighting my looks from his upper lid as he slides up his spectacles from his nose to a proper position, correcting his posture to his man spread legs.
"Assassination is my job and being aligned isn't so nothing to worry about from my side" I replied
"Good evening party at this address hope to see you soon" Passing the card, he handed me the card with utter confidence as I received it with both my hands, my last mission habits- damn it.
Soon the time was evening, and as I took my luggage from the living room to my bedroom, dragging I put it over my bed, pondering for a good outfit for the party.
I had a suit, a bodycon dress, and a v-neck gown. "Hmm- well bodycon would give a good attraction but the suit is empowering and on another thing, a v-neck would be more casual for my job" I murmured to myself, as I laid down the three over my bed sheet. Yes, I was confused.
Thinking for a second time I think the suit looks better over my body, and especially the black color looks nice over my skin. Hmm- but I think Bodycon would feel better for the theme.
I thought for the last time before letting out a sigh as I looked in the mirror one more time, thinking for the best for the theme. It was the suit for me.
*****
Locating the room I entered the floor, as the lighting had more to say than the brightness in the dark of it. Full of people, it had more savage than my entire life of living.
Looking around, I wasn't stopped for any identification or anything, maybe the card itself spoke enough, but the color of it felt odd from the others. Mine was gold.
"Ma'am this side" The man led me through the crowd as I followed him around.
Finally finding the exact location for the meeting, I entered the gate as he clicked on the passcodes, in front of me.
"Small Boss, the assassin's here," the man said before leaving his head bowed as if he was someone really important, but wait what's up with the title? 'Small boss', what is he a kid?Matching eye contact, I got inside the room, and the figure in front of me was sitting down on the couch, all the boss sits the same or something, spreading their legs and having on top of one another.
I mean knee touching knee is for women, but ankle touching knee is like a formal sitting here.
"Good evening, I am Drystan Khan Levitsky," he said standing formally and brushing a few bits of his coat down, his hands brushed near, as I held it to shake for the invitation "Good evening, I am Alex Thoman Volkov, a.k.a Xelv," I said, not wanting to break our eye contact.
"Nice meeting you... please have a seat-" his voice was husky
Tall figure,
Broad shoulders,
Hands like a giant,
Hair slicked back with a few voluminous here and there,
And the suit for the formality.
They are calling this man small-
Looking forward as I sat down, I felt anxious, I could smell his perfume around, a kind of vanilla or maybe some other flowers as it entered my nose with no fear. I had a stupid feeling around me as I tried peeping into my surroundings.
"Umm, your suit looks quite nice," he said, "thanks, yours too-" Complimenting back I regained my breath as the server served us wine quite later.
"So, how many missions have you gone through?"
"Approximately, eight up till now" I answered, sipping the wine he hummed the flavor as I just held it, promising not to get drunk already.
"Wow you have worked hard I guess-"
"Probably yeah" Smiling I answered the compliment, I don't know why it felt heavy inside sitting beside him, as he stared me in between every other conversation. I get it I simp for heavy-bulked guys but trust me I am not there without the personality, ugh it's hot in here for some reason.
Sitting quietly with a few sentences of conversation finally the boss arrived the door opened with a few here and there bodyguards standing outside, he wasn't alone but a lady on the side.
Is she his girlfriend, they don't look alike either-
"Oh Good evening Miss Alex"
"Good evening sir" I greeted back as we stood up, and letting them sit, the lady greeted me too."So you have already met Drystan, so lemme introduce you to my daughter, Elizabeth," he said gesturing on her side.
"Nice meeting you, I am Elizabeth Levitsky" We shake hands, and I introduced myself too- damn I thought the wrong way.
Sitting down together we talked a few things, normal political talks, and accusations until it was finally the time when two people entered, not known to me but those two looked quite worked up for their position.
"Meet these two, Cerys and Commander X," the boss said with the wine in his hand as the two stood straight covered in certain, jackets having the logo I have seen before.
'That logo, why does it seem so familiar' I thought as my mind couldn't leave that question as I tried to rewind every other mission I have done, are they old enemies or anything near, but nothing but a sort of silver plating. I have seen them but where-
"Good evening" I greeted as my introduction was already on their lips
"Nice meeting you" they both replied after one another, as we got back to our seats and now the time began.
It was tensed, maybe more hyper as they finally started sorting all the files of the enemies I had to dethrone off their throne.
"Well, the official plan was to bring them into the upcoming party and chase them to death but unfortunately, something has to be changed" The woman spoke her name was Cerys I recited.
"What do you mean, have to be changed-"
"Boss, currently the father is out and Raden is out of town this morning about Oryn he had other plans to work on," she said as her expression reflected soon, her face, and eyes were more of worry as her entire coldness turned to some normal shit.
"Hold on then-" I said in between as the tension was over us.
"I know, but there can be a new solution to it," she said, continuing "Oryn is hiring a new spy, to spy on our group-" she stopped as she gulped and breathed out the air she was holding for long enough.
"So the new plane goes by as you, Alex would take the place of the spy and on the day of their new business launch party, the work would be completed. Because everyone would be invited so not much of the suspicion" Her plan wasn't bad but the only thing was how would I check that id test out if I am gonna be taking her place.
"What the hell!" I exclaimed as this was more of an issue to my identification like I use the mask for my assassination and not show my face around to people, during the kills than about these two weeks of stupidity.
"Don't worry about the id test I will change the photo on the documents and her id so you misplace it" the man with the beard spoke finally.
"Don't worry we would pay you double if you want us to" the boss offered as I can't but think about it twice. Yet I had no choice but to accept as I tried to reach my head, who had officially given me this contract to work with.
The conversation was short, not much in particular at all, but one thing was common as always, The term 'YES' It was as if he wanted to get rid of me, telling me, commanding me to go on every other mission I ever get.
It was nothing more to hear, but the words I hated and trust after this I am going to fucking end this stupid life of mine-
Either wise
It is not like I don't want to but this one is risky, just as my sister once got caught for these.
But that's a different case that she got out, at least that's what she told me but it still horrifies me, how badly she was injured to make her shift herself somewhere else. And from there it all started-
"When would we be exchanging?" I asked
