Ninety- seven. My woman!
Ezekiel's heart tremored as he thought of her location. He had Cobra trace her that moment, while he followed the scent she had left behind. The whole Realm was in chaos as the Boss was in a rage.
Flashback.
Monalissa was listening to the situation which Cobra was explaining to them with an attention that was at its maximum. However, she didn't fail to notice the person who stepped out of the room, stealthily and unnoticed. She followed.
Flashback ends.
Monalissa followed the person at a secure distance and watched on as the person was swimming in oblivion. At some point, the person stopped and looked around hoping to find no one. And there was no one. He whipped out his cellphone.
"Hello sir" he said, his tone tensed. The receiver replied immediately but Monalissa couldn't hear that as she wasn't so close.
"They're sending forces. To Cee country" the person said.
"Ok sir, I will" the person said after sometime. He hung up and immediately looked around. There was no one in sight so, he stepped to go.
"Aarghhhh!!!" a cry was heard.
Monalissa stood tall and looked at the person who was sprawled on the floor, shamelessly and in a funny position. His face was ashen with fear as he faced Monalissa. He knew who she was. Ezekiel's right hand person. He was dead!
"And you're?" Monalissa asked coldly. She hated the sight of him.
"What gives you the right to ask me questions? Who do you even think you are?!" the guy bellowed, his tone thick with tremor.
Monalissa smirked. "You're quite scared. So scared that it makes me blissful" she taunted.
The man on the floor cringed. What was he going to do? She was just a woman. Just a little hit on the head and she passes out. With this thought in mind, he ran the surroundings with his eyes, checking for what could help him. He wasn't a martial artist if not, he didn't need to do anything and she would be dead by now.
Monalissa noticed the frantic look in his eyes, her lips stretching into a broader smile. This was the sweetest part of the story. The point where they start looking for a weapon to come against her with. Though she didn't have her martial arts now, she could still twist the limb of this guy standing before her. She only needed to be wise. "Don't bother. You won't find anything" Monalissa teased him.
The guy'sbeyes turned to slits as he looked at the young girl before him. She was quite delicate in appearance but why does he seem to perceive a different aura from her? Her hands... Yeah, how could he forget. She was the famous assassin, known for being merciless even to the prettiest being.
"What do you want?" the guy asked.
"Your name" Monalissa said with a shrug.
"My name?" ,the guy asked confused.
"Yes. I need your name" Monalissa replied.
"Rex" he replied after a little thought. It wouldn't do him much harm if he just says his name. He could just lie against her. The Boss won't dispose of him. It would be the same with Luke.
"Rex" Monalissa repeated her tongue clicking her teeth. "I heard what Luke did to you" Monalissa said. "It was really cruel but thank God you came out successfully".
Rex was taken aback. Really now? "Oh...yeah. He was such a bastard. Trying to sell information to the enemy organization".
"Just like you are about to do now?" Monalissa questioned gesturing at the cellphone in his hand.
Rex looked at the cellphone in his which suddenly became hot. He threw it to the floor and stepped back. "It's not what you think" he said, lying through his teeth.
"I know. And I also know who you were talking to on the phone right now"Monalissa said with a smirk.
Rex swallowed visibly.
"You really are one of a kind. And I'm also aware that if we're caught here, you would tell my master that it was me who was on that call, am I right?" Monalissa questioned, her eyes turning cold.
"How did you know?" Rex blurted a question.
"Boom! I caught you".
Rex was mortified with shock. What the... "Monalissa what do you think you're doing? I wasn't giving any information to Elijah", he bellowed.
"Wow. How can you be so stupid? I didn't even call anyone's name and yet you said Elijah... typical. Same as always. That was how you tricked my master and till now he is still being tricked by your malicious and manipulative words and attitude" Monalissa snarled.
"Shut up! You don't know anything. How dare you say a word?!" Rex yelled back at her trying to stabilize a point. He couldn't be caught. Ezekiel will kill him!
"I don't even need to know anything. I just need to know that you're a green snake in a green grass" she pointed out. "And I will spread your dirty shit under the sun tonight!"
"Aarghhh!" Rex screamed and went after her but she dodged stepping to the side. She grabbed him and flipped him to the floor with a lot of strength. Rex met the hard floor with his back causing him to start coughing ferociously. She stepped on him with her feet, marching his throat. "You... deserve a bitter death. You heartless coward!"
Rex got hold of her leg and pushed her backwards, causing her to stagger a bit. Monalissa tried her best to maintain her balance while her hand reflexively went to her belly. Her baby... She raised her eyes and sent him a glare.
Rex was already standing up, his eyes spewing flames of fire. He wanted to kill this girl! How dare she meddle?! He raced towards her and tried grabbing her but Monalissa shifted with a little effort. She grabbed a stick that was by the side whipped him behind the knees. Rex let out a muffled cry. He came at her but Monalissa was a nimble one, whipping him twice on the head. He fell to the ground, face first.
"You evil woman! Watch how I deal with you", Rex threatened in between groans.
Monalissa sneered at him. "You're too weak. Even as rusty as I am, I still beat you", she degraded.
"Monalissa! Monalissa!" someone called her name
Monalissa's eyes widened at the voice of her master. He will be really angry with her if he finds her here.
"Oh, now you know how to be scared? See how you lose your life", Rex taunted.
Ezekiel's voice neared the scene. When Monalissa felt his presence behind her, she suddenly let out a moan of pain. Her face scrunched up and she fell on her knees.
This action made Rex shudder in wonder. He didn't understand what was going on. Her cry echoed within that arena, as ear piercing as it was.
Ezekiel was alarmed when he saw Monalissa falling back. He rushed to her side and immediately held her from falling completely to the ground.
"Walker..."
"Master...he tried to touch me...he tried touching me because I said I would report him for selling information to Elijah. He wanted to rape me" Monalissa sobbed.
Rex nearly threw up blood. What was she saying?! What?! He didn't do anything. His face was as pale as sheet.
Ezekiel raised his eyes towards the man lying on the floor. He looked more like the one in pain compared to the woman in his arms but then again, he tried to touch her. "Incompetent fool!" Ezekiel spat out. "You can't even do your work well yet you try to touch my woman?!"
Monalissa's eyes widened. His woman?!
"Boss, I didn't do anything. I didn't do anything I swear", Rex defended himself.
"Master, he pushed me down. Master, he held me forcefully!" Monalissa cried.
Ezekiel almost laughed at the way Monalissa was acting. However, the fact that he was betrayed again....
"Rex, if you betray me, can you not let yourself to be caught?", Ezekiel questioned coldly. He stood with Monalissa in his arms. "Today, you cease to be a member of the Alpha Realm. And for touching my woman, I will pipe you hot!" he pronounced and walked away, leaving Rex to his detriment.
