Her grip around the maid's neck was so tight, she couldn't even struggle to talk.
Her efforts to beg for her life were in vain and Ivy couldn't help but enjoy seeing her struggling. " Do you want to say something?" She asked after a long struggle.
The maid shook her head violently in the affirmative. Ivy laughed after seeing her reaction. " You won't say anything other than begging me to spare your life."
The maid shook her head in the negative and Ivy laughed. " So, I should kill you then?" She asked happily.
The maid who had the same hair color as hers begged with her eyes already streaming down in tears. "Awww!! Don't cry, I can't be so heartless to kill someone innocent."
Her eyes lit up with a sparkle of hope when she heard what Ivy said. She was certainly going to suffer from a fracture in her neck if the intruder spared her life.
"Not so fast. You aren't innocent." Ivy responded with a smirk. The maid was surprised and didn't understand what she meant by her not being innocent.
" Come on. It's no news you are busy having fun with the Senator under the same roof with his wife." Ivy let out.
The maid became even more surprised, she tried denying it by shaking her violently in rejection. " Surprised? Don't be. I know your little secret." Ivy giggled.
The pleading look in her eyes got her laughing. " We've talked too much. I would have loved to have a longer chat with you but…" She hesitated with a sigh. " You don't have enough time left.."
Ivy said those words with so much regret in her voice and the maid was busy thinking about what she meant because she didn't have enough time left. Ivy twisted her neck and there was the last trick left to exterminate her.
"I'm not sorry….." she hissed with a sly smile. "I don't normalize whom I kill,"
Ivy let her drop to the floor like a sag potato. She roughly pulled her to the side and took off her blue and white maid uniform.
A rather aging man with straps of gray hair on his beard and head, sat on a sofa, sipping wine with a newspaper in his hand. By the look on his face, one could see that he was in a festive mood. His aging face showed wrinkles whenever he smiled.
His phone rang and he picked it up without hesitation. "Assassinated?" he asked, feigning surprise.
"We won't rest until the assassin is found!" he let out with traces of grief in his voice.
He dropped the phone and his laughter could be heard in the house. " Aspirant Senator Giovanni Ghebre," He paused to take a sip from his glass. " I'm sorry, but there isn't enough room for Senators in this metropolis, only one spot for one man and I'm that one man. Senator Tedros Emilio needs no opponent. I can't drag what is mine,"
He lifted his glass and made cheers to himself then finished the half-full glass in a single go.
There was a light knock at his door and he ordered the person to come in. Ivy entered the fancy room pushing the dinner table. She smiled when she saw the excited look on the Senator's face.
' How sad it is that I'll wipe that look on your face in less than 15 minutes ' Ivy thought to herself.
" It's a feast. Hope you brought in more wine, " The Senator let out happily.
Ivy smiled and started organizing the table. She didn't respond to his words. The Senator dropped his glass on the table and moved toward her, holding her from the back and wrapping his hands around her waist.
He placed his head on her shoulder kissing her neck lightly "Hey, Lena. Why do you seem so upset? Did any of my daughters say something to you again? He asked softly.
Ivy didn't say anything, she smiled at his utterances. She gently pulled herself away from him and his embrace and continued with her responsibilities.
The Senator got furious and pulled her hair, bending her head backward. "You are one of my sex toys, when I talk to you make sure you respond. " He let out furiously, with gritted teeth. "Hope I'm clear enough, " He expected Lena to wince in pain but got nothing.
Ivy affirmed, shaking her head to avoid any further hasty actions. "Good. Now I would like to eat food, then eat you when I'm done," he announced, letting go of her hair.
Ivy smiled excitedly, and the Senator figured she was excited about his statement.
She kind of opened the dish and a sardonic smile graced her face. The Senator was busy scrutinizing her cleavages which were visible in her work uniform; she intentionally didn't completely button up her uniform, exposing more than enough of her breast.
She put the heart of the dead Senator Giovanni Ghebre on his plate and put it before him.
She moved around seductively with slow steps. She bent a little over the Senator, placing her head on his shoulder. "Enjoy your meal Tedros,"
The voice sounded a bit strange but he decided to look at his meal first. He spots the bleeding heart of a human being and immediately pushes Ivy away. "What is this Lena?!" He shouted violently.
"Easy. Chill," Ivy responded, grabbing his neck.
The Senator succeeded in pulling her hands from his neck." Who are you?".
" Your death warrant," Ivy responded with an enigmatic smile.
"I see, who sent you?" He asked, confidently.
" The owner of the heart on your dinner table."
The Senator laughed," He is not yet bred. "
" You paid for his death, he paid for yours, and I'm pleased to be the recipient and executor of the task. "Ivy informed, happily.
" I'm not an easy man to exterminate. You might need a squad to
kill me. " The Senator pressed a button and Ivy's hand was tied up to a chain. She wasn't surprised at all.
" Wow, nice. It's going to be very easy for you. " She laughed, maniacally." I know you have been watching me. I must confess, that was quite smart. " She declared with a tight-lipped smile.
" And you were stupid to think, I'll have just one security system. " The Senator replied, putting his hands in his pockets." I know my enemies consist of a population more than that of this city. I have to be smart, but you didn't expect I'd be this smart. "
Ivy laughed happily." You watched me kill your lover, and I wonder who would watch me kill you. "She retorted, narrowing her eyes.
" I saw what you did to the guard at the gate, I regret so much wasting my money on that fatuous fellow." He said with clenched hands sounding very furious." Considering that you are a woman, I expected more from someone who is supposed to protect me. "
" The only stupid move you made was not alerting your men, thinking you could execute me on your own. " She said with a grimace while wriggling with her bracelet. She ably pressed a button and the chains holding her hands fell off." Well, that was easy, "
The Senator's mouth dropped open; he wasn't expecting such skills. Guess he underestimated her after all. While he was thinking about how she did that with so much ease, she threw a riata which tied up his body from the shoulder down to his legs. Which caused the Senator to fall to the floor.
" I was born in a pool of blood, I know just what the person I'm paid to annihilate thinks. Worst are the smart ones like you, " She informed him with a bewitching smile.
The Senator ran out of words, he just couldn't understand. " Who are you?" he asked, seeming very confused. That was all he could think of, no one could outsmart him. He talked less about breaking the chains than he knew how strong they were.
Ivy cracked up, " That question is coming a little late. Don't you presume? I mean, I was expecting that to be the first question you asked me when I entered this room. But you decided to play, "
She walked up to the Senator and knelt on one knee before him. She looked at his aging face and the wrinkles deforming his face. She extended her hand to touch his face," Giovanni, deserved the position, but you paid me to put an end to his dream. I'm no political person, but you are getting old and your strength and skills are failing you."
" Get to the point, Girly! " The Senator said with a spark of loathing in his voice.
"Hush, " Ivy responded, placing a finger on his lip," Don't rush, you'll die when it's due. "
She got up from her position and walked towards the table. " You paid for Giovanni's death, and he doubled the amount for yours. Politicians' scandals are increasing my paycheck. " She returned to the Senator with the heart and took her previous position.
" What are you going to do with that? " The Senator asked a bit perplexed, though he seemed scared but deep down, Ivy could feel he was anxious and there's nothing that gives her more joy than the anxiety of her victims
" Well, your little dead friend, Aspirant Senator Giovanni Ghebre, paid me to feed you his heart and that's exactly what I'll do gladly… " She scooped a portion of the heart with a fork and brought it closer to his mouth. She gestured for him to open up but he resisted with a frown.
" I'm being nice to you, so better play along. " She put down the plate gently and forcefully opened the Senator's mouth. She forced the fork into his mouth, not caring if she hurt him or not.
Ivy threw the fork away, still firmly holding his mouth, and carried a chunk of the flesh from the plate and forced it into his mouth aggressively.
The Senator spat out everything she put in his mouth on her uniform. An act that got Ivy laughing. " The flesh of a doormat like Giovanni tastes very sour in my mouth." Tedros informed, with a scornful look. A sly smile graced his face as he looked at Ivy keenly.
" You both will make a great couple in hell. Think about being gay while I kill you, "
"I planned to get a taste of your beauty before you die. But since my plans failed, I'll wait for you in hell," he said with an enigmatic smile.
" Your men can't find me, not even with the best technology." She leaned forward and whispered into his ears, "I don't exist. "
" Oh, I see! "
" Keep that in mind."
She smiled at him and he raised his brows in question." God has destined, written it down and here I am with my humble self accomplishing his will," The Senator didn't understand what she meant by those words till he saw Ivy pull out her gun. She pulled the trigger and shot him in the gut thrice, without a sound.
" You won't make it out alive, " Tedros informed, coughing out blood. He was struggling but couldn't do anything as his hands were tied to his body.
Ivy looked at him with bloodshot eyes," I'm not alive,"
Her countenance changed immediately to a happy jolly person, " Yeah! And this is for thinking about raping me," she shot one more time, this time with a smile." The last, for calling your men," she shot again and the entire room was full of blood.
She got up, cleaned herself, and changed the sky blue and white maid's uniform she had on into a new one.
After taking her stuff and putting it on the movable dinner table, she knelt beside the corpse and smiled at the dead man whose eyes were still wide open, but there wasn't any life in them. " Before I forget, I'm Ivy Warren. Only dead people have that opportunity of knowing who I am. "
She left the room with a satisfied smile, though looking very indifferent. Ivy gently closed the door behind her pushing the dinner table.
" What were you doing in my Dad's room? "
