EVIE POV
Did I just hear Cress right? He wants me to kill someone, what!!!!
I haven't seen him for a week and everything was going just fine, and now he calls me and tells me to kill someone.
"The man is one of the elders' allies, and you need to kill him during the Marianos annual ball, and it mustn't be considered an attack," Cress said, still holding my face, " is that understood Evie?"
"Yes I understand," I responded.
Honestly killing is not the issue, but I can't believe that's why he called me, well, what was I expecting from such a ruthless man, he makes me his slave and the first thing he wants me to do is kill for him.
"Well that's good, and I need you to leave a message there when you do it," he said.
" And what will that message be?" I asked.
"I will tell you later, not now, for now.."
"But why would you want to kill your elders' allies?" I said as I cut him off.
I definitely should not have said that, but my curiosity won't rest until I know.
"That is not something you need to know Evie, just do what you asked," he said as he let my face go.
"Sarah, come in," Xander said commanding.
Sarah immediately entered and then greeted him, and she didn't seem surprised to be called in at all.
Sarah?, why would he call Sarah here unless she also is…
"Sarah do explain the remaining details to Evie about the mission and provides her with everything she requires for it," he stated.
"Okay sir," Sarah replied with a stern voice.
This is the first time I'm seeing Sarah with such a serious face, for the past week I had been with her, she always had a bubbly smile.
No one would ever guess that she was also a trained assassin.
I and Sarah both made our way out of the office, and then I asked, "So you work for Cress too?"
"Yes, I do," she said as she faced towards me,"listen Evie everyone here in Marianos has who they are loyal to, normally that should be the Lord Cress, but some others do not want him to be the leader, and they would do anything to remove him even if it means killing him."
"I know the Marianos empire is a dangerous place, but this is just something," I said.
"Well Evie you have me to guide you through it all," she said with a smile then held my arms as we kept walking.
"So how exactly did you become Cress' ally?" I asked out of curiosity.
"He saved me Evie after I was left to die, so now I work for him," she replied.
We both went to our dorms and Sarah told me everything I needed to know about the man I'm to kill and honestly after hearing what he has done, I actually want to kill him, a man who had been to cause of death to numerous innocent children just because he wanted to cover up his embezzlement.
She helped me with preparation of everything I needed for the task, and before I knew it a week had gone by, and it was the night of the Marianos annual ball.
The event took place in the household main hall, and lots of people had arrived including the man I'm to kill Jorah mei.
Sarah and I were part of the maids that were serving.
"Hey you made, bring me a glass of wine," Jorah Mei said pointing towards me.
I handed the glass of wine and waited to make sure he drank it, I then made my way out of his sight.
I continued serving, waiting for the drink to take work in his body, and then I saw Cress Marianos and he was looking so dashing.
For a heartless man he is seriously handsome, he was in a dark blue tux and the golden brown brooch really complimented his eyes.
He seemed to be greeting some guests and then suddenly our eyes met, and it was like he was staring into my soul.
I quickly deviated my eyes from his and continued serving while keeping an eye on my target.
It didn't take long before the drugs in the wine started, and Jorah mei immediately made his way to the bathroom, finally it's time.
I signaled Sarah and we both made our way there, we made sure that no one was around, Sarah waited outside to keep watching, and then I entered the restroom.
"Excuse me sir, is everything alright?" I asked as I walked closer to him, finding an injection at my back.
The medicine seems to have been working and his already beginning to seem drowsy.
"No I don't think so, I'm Justin feeling really drowsy all of a sound," he said as he tried to wash his face.
"Let me help you then," I uttered as I began to pour water on his face.
"Wait, you are not supposed to even be…,"
Before he could finish his words I already injected him, and he had fallen.
"Why would you do this?," he muttered trying to breathe.
" For a man who has killed hundreds of innocent children and embezzled from the Marianos family, you are really asking me why I'm killing you huh."
"I will pay you any amount ,just save me."
"There is no amount you would pay that would make me change my mind, bastards like you deserve to die, just be glad I'm not pulling a bullet through your head, and you would die peacefully."
"The elders will definitely not let you go scot-free of this, this is definitely not the end."
"Yeah sure it isn't," I said with a smirk on my face," "could you hurry up and die now or do you still have more questions?"
As he seemed to finally take his last breath he still asked one final question," "who.. are.. you?"
"Well you could say I'm just a slave doing my job, now die."
