Amilio, "what the fuck? How dare you bitch."
Evanora, "you're the one clearly standing on my way. Be careful."
Amilio, "do you have any idea who you're talking to like that."
Evanora, "if you had any idea what I'm capable of you'd keep your fuckin mouth shut. Now
move out of my way."
Evanora attempts to pass him without escalating the argument but he pulls her back and
throws her to the food table. Evanora breaks her fall shielding her dress and herself from
being bathed in the food on the table.
Her calm eyes turned dark, the little patience she had crumbling until her brain had no right to
reason with her to keep peace. She turns back, facing the man who dared lay his filthy hands on
her.
Her mind was now clouded by darkness, with only one thought. To torture him, murder him and
hang him on the roof of some public place to set a statement. She takes out her knife, discreetly
hiding it as she approaches the man and places it at the rim of his neck.
She gets close enough to whisper something
Evanora, " don't you ever fuckin do that you little shit."
She swiftly gets away and hits him hard enough causing Amilio's ears to ring. She just
slapped him but the impact of her slap was like that of a brick against his ear.
The guest's attention is diverted to them but Evanora does not care in the slightest. She
shoots him one more glare before leaving him.
Since it's a masquerade party neither Amilio nor Evanora realized who exactly they were.
Amilio did not know it was Evanora and likewise. The party goes on smoothly, at least for
other guests.
EVANORA
I don't know how people enjoy attending such stupid parties and survive. I'd rather swim in a
lake full of crocodiles than be here every night. The women here are just an embarrassment to
the female gender.
They cling to men as though they're lifelines. As if they will die if they let them go. Others go
around trying to impress the wealthy men in this room just to get a stupid a handbag that costs
millions.
Couldn't they learn better, at least murder for the money, it really pays. Well I've killed so many
people and due to that I'm where I am now.
I do not need a man to define me. Men are just burdens, you bow before them and they think
they own the world. Pathetic beings.
The only thing they can flaunt and rely on is those ridiculous things called dicks and their
body size and strength. The rest is just bullshit. Women are more capable than men could
ever be.
After long excruciatingly long hours in this ridiculous party it finally came to an end and now
I could go to my meeting. This meeting was important in a way. I don't like how normal
billionaires rely on investors to keep their business from falling.
That's like begging someone to donate a few crumbs to your business. I miss the thrill of being a
mafia queen.I was better there. I had the power and here, a mere man dares to lay his hands on
me.
Fuck, I'd have killed that mother fucker but I had to remember that I didn't have the power to get
away with murder anymore. I could get arrested for it. The power I had there is not the power I
have living as a normal hardworking stupid business woman.
I went to the conference room which is where this torture is going to extend to. I just have to
get this business deal, more like begging those rascals to invest in my company.
The room was not bad, but it looks like it was designed by a fool. Who'd choose white for a
conference room. I prefer my property black. This is utter nonsense.
What's crazier is that there's not even a single female in this room. I'm the only one. What the
hell!
What do women do in this world? Can't even run a business. This is a disgrace to my femininity.
I sat down on my supposed seat and that's when my eyes landed on a familiar face. Ooh yeah.
Great. What the hell is he doing here? It was Amilio. Yes yes the very Amilio Red. Fuck
I thought I destroyed him.
Act normal. Don't act like you were once a mafia queen and now you're meeting an old enemy
which is what's currently happening. Fuck that!
Everyone was looking at me. Why the hell are they looking at me? Is it the first time they see
a woman in control. What the hell is wrong with these idiots?
Mr George, "uhm. You're late and you don't bother to greet us. That is unethical."
Ooh so that's the problem.
Evanora, "we're here for business not to get along or act like we are good friends. Let's get
down to it shall we."
Mr George, "you have no ethics."
Evanora, "funny cause my business is thriving with or without you. Let's get to the point
shall we. I've invented something. I don't really need your funding but apparently I have to
keep my investors."
Amilio, "we're not interested in working with someone without morals and ethics. Someone
who doesn't know anything about business ethics."
Evanora, "do ethics bring food to the table?"
Mr George, "Amilio is right."
Evanora, "we'll it's you guy's loss. My creation is the evolution human spy robot that anyone
would like to get their hands on. The first model has been finished and it works just fine. The
fact that project NARU is not just any advanced robot but super efficient, being able to shrink to
the size of a fly and back to the size of a human. NARU has characteristics as good as a
human. Soft skin, digestive system, and reproduction are still in process. She can elicit
emotions, and can act as a sex slave too. NARU is also a killer robot spy. The killer is necessary
for things like war. Quite useful. An all in one version. can stop the illegal dealings in a country.
Crime stopper. But it's not like I'm desperate to have you guys as investor's. Like I said you
need me not the other way around. "
I smiled and stood up, arranging my stuff. I'm not really one who begs in business, strategies
work baby. Human psychology can be useful in business.
Mr Robert," uhm. Actually. We're interested in the deal. Project NARU is an interesting robot."
Evanora, "thought as much. But don't you need ethics?"
My attention was on Amilio. I didn't care if I lost the deal but letting Amilio bring me down is
not my cup of tea. He was certainly challenging me, trying to call off the deal.
Almost pathetic in my opinion. The tables have turned. The meeting resumed, discussion on
project NARU, pros and cons went on.
Project NARU was created by Nico. I'm not good with tech and all that to the extent
that I'd be able to create such a robot. He deserves the credit. Nico is one hell of a multi
talented guy, to think he had to be with that Mabel bitch for a while, good news is he's back
under my control.
Evanora, "so then this meeting is done."
They expected hand shaking, I didn't really agree. It's not some privilege I give to just any
moron to shake my hand. Everyone left until I was left alone with Amilio.
AMILIO
Evanora had the guts to come back after what she did to me. Going on with this meeting was
torture for me. Torture because the woman I fell in love with was back in my life somehow.
I thought we'd never cross paths again after she left but sooner than expected she has a
business that has taken my position in the business world.
Amilio, "tell me Evanora, don't you ever feel anything when you think of me?"
She raised an eyebrow, her eyes not giving off any emotion, her expression neutral.
Amilio, "I haven't gotten you arrested even though it's my duty to the country. The Luna I
spent time with, I know she's still in there. Within you Evanora. Please give yourself a second
chance."
She smiled, a mocking smile. One that made me feel like a fool. Even if I wasn't on my
knees I was begging her. Begging her to give me a chance. Begging her to let me love her.
Begging the woman who killed my father to give me a chance. Loving her is like consuming
poison. It's slow but effective.
Evanora, "I have no interest in changing who I am for love, Amilio. Let alone love that
involves you."
Amilio, "do you remember me?"
Evanora, "yeah you're the cop that's being such a nuisance in my life."
Amilio, " when you were fourteen you killed someone. The position you took through
bloodshed, the man you killed for power. Antiono Red, he was my father."
A heart. She has it. She looked at me, her eyes grew wide.
Evanora," Antonio had no son."
" How could you be so sure? He treasured you Evanora. He really loved you Evanora, but for
the power he'd have given you eventually you killed him Evanora. I grew up without a father,
suffering because of you. But yet here I am, in love with you. Why don't you understand
Evanora."
" You know what suffering is? Suffering is being raped by different men every night, suffering is
being tortured, broken, fixed then broken again like a cycle but kept alive. You grew up without a
father, lucky you. I always get what I want, Amilio. I do not lose, I never fail. You might have my
empire in your hands but not for long. "
Amilio," the empire is rightfully mine. He was my father. "
Evanora," you're too weak to run an empire. You're not compatible enough to be a mafia.
Love has made you weak. You cannot rule a whole empire, pretty boy. "
Amilio," yet I'm a billionaire."
Evanora," that's nothing to be proud of, I'm ten times better. Let's face it, if Antonio was
alive and had to choose between us, he'd choose me. I did you a great favor by killing him.
That way you didn't have to grow with the pain of your father loving another child over you. "
MABEL
Evanora is back on her feet. I don't know how she does it. Brother hasn't been himself for the
past few months.
Evanora was clever enough to get my brother on his knees. He is now some love struck
puppy. He doesn't care about what Evanora has done. Even though he fell in love with the
Luna version of Evanora.
He isn't willing to take revenge on Evanora anymore.
Nicholas agreed to see me. It was hard convincing him to give me just 15 minutes of his
time. I don't really know why he's so angry at me.
I'm not sure if I can say he does love me. He took Ivan away from me. I had to learn to take
care of Ian without him. It was hard, doing it was tough because that meant I needed to
learn to love him.
I was sitting in the café Nicholas agreed to meet me in. An hour of our agreed time had passed.
I'm starting to doubt that he will come.
I called him. His phone rang and he picked up. His voice was filled with impatience as he
asked me what I wanted.
Mabel, "we were supposed to meet an hour ago. You aren't here."
Nicholas, "I have far important tasks to complete."
Mabel, "more important than me and your son?"
Nicholas, "yes."
Mabel, "but you agreed to meet me."
Nicholas, "give me 30 minutes I have to drive Evanora back home."
Evanora?
My heart broke at the mention of her name. So he took so much time because Evanora was far
more important than me. He didn't care to meet his own son.
I forced back the tears that threatened to spill. I won't cry. There must be a valid reason why he
needed to help Evanora first right.
I waited for yet another hour. This time losing hope that he'll even come. He must have
forgotten of my existence.
Right when I had lost hope he came through the door. He wasn't alone, Evanora was by his
side, Ivan was in Evanora's arms.
I asked to see Nicholas not Evanora. They looked like a family, although Evanora was not
smiling or anything they looked good together.
Evanora wore a black silk dress that hugged her body in all the right places, the necklace
she wore around her neck was simple yet elegant, her lips painted a dark shade of maroon,
her eyes highlighted by the black eyeliner she wore.
The way she walked on those 15 inch black heels resembled her dominant power, emitting
her aura. She was a queen even without a crown on her head.
It was an almost simple outfit but it screamed power, emitting an aura. She's everything a man
could ever desire even if she is a devil.
Nicholas was wearing a black suit, it was simple but it made him look good, his hair was
jelled back, he was on a call.
Evanora's eyes found mine. There she was the devil in carnage. The anger in her eyes
scared me. Back then I'd be sure she wouldn't kill me but my mind, a traitor reminded me of her words 2 years ago.
When she said my lack of fear kept me alive, now the fear was there.
Nicholas, "quit staring at Eva. You have 15 minutes, we need to go somewhere."
His words, although simple, stabbed my heart, like a thousand swords. Ian was awake, but
he wasn't crying. He was playing with his toy.
Mabel, "why did you bring her along?"
Evanora, "you scared I'm going to kill you."
Mabel, "I'm not talking to you."
Evanora, "you have the nerve, talking to me like that. You forgot who I am. I could kill you,
you wreak fear, my favorite emotion."
Nicholas, "Mabel, talk to me. Evanora has somewhere else to be."
Mabel, "you once told me you loved me. The moment things got rough you left me. Why Nico?"
Nicholas, "Nicholas. You don't have the right to call me Nico, it's always been Nicholas."
Mabel, "did Evanora threaten you? We can work things out Nicholas. We can raise Ivan and
Ian together. Please."
Evanora, "I'm not one who gives out empty threats Mabel."
Mabel, "shut up. Shut up for goodness sake Evanora. Please. Please have a heart. Have a
heart Evanora please."
Nicholas, "Mabel, I left Evanora for you. I trusted you, Evanora had faith in you Mabel. But
the second you were given a chance you betrayed us. You betrayed the omerta. You did
that."
Mabel, "he's my brother. I can't lie to him. Please come back Nicholas I really love you
please."
Ivan woke up and started crying. Evanora stood up and started calming him. Soon he was
laughing, stretching out his little arms to touch Evanora.
My own son Ian barely smiled at me yet the other was smiling to a criminal with no heart.
Nicholas," I don't love you Mabel. I didn't mean to use you but I thought I loved you. I wanted to
get over Evanora but….."
Mabel, "what? .,.You were using me to get over Evanora."
I started laughing. This was the only reaction I could give. After everything. After the
countless nights I spent with pregnancy hormones. After all the sweet nothings he'd
whisper into my ears.
Nicholas," you're a great girl Mabel but I'm afraid Evanora is not someone I can replace."
Mabel, "how could you do this to me Nicholas?"
I stood up and before I knew it I slapped him. He just stood there silently looking at me.
Mabel, "I fuckin loved you Nicholas. I gave my all into this relationship, fuck I went against my
brother and I married you. I kept a pregnancy I didn't even want. I'm raising a child I don't
want. I fuckin sacrificed so much for you."
Evanora slapped me, I don't even know when she came here but she slapped me.
Evanora," you're one to talk. Do you know what you fuckin cost me? Love is a losing game but
your betrayal, you'll pay for it. "
Mabel," shut up Evanora. I'm talking to Nicholas who are you. Who are you to interfere in my
marriage?"
Evanora gave Ivan to Nicholas and her hand went to my neck. She was so close I could feel her breath. She leaned closer to my ear. I couldn't shake the fear from within.
Mafia or not Evanora was the most vicious venomous, vile woman I'd ever come across. It
doesn't matter if she has the power of a mafia, she has no heart.
Evanora, "you're the reason why I've lost my empire Mabel. You must know that I don't
tolerate people like you. You wreak fear , baby girl, be careful."
Mabel, "you should watch your back bitch. I'm gonna make you pay."
Evanora, "let's see what you're capable of. Fair game is what they call it. But if you fail to
make me pay, I won't hesitate to break you, peace by peace by peace."
She left. She didn't bother to look back at Nicholas.
Nicholas, "sorry Mabel."
Mabel, "take your son. I'll file a divorce .I hate you Nicholas. I hate you."
I left Ian on the table and left. The war has begun. I don't care who the hell Evanora is. I don't
care what I have to lose but this is the beginning of her end.
Mabel, "hello. Evanora speaking. I think Amilio is a traitor because he works for me. He's been
involved in every illegal deal I make. I have evidence."
Two days went by after the lie I told. Amilio has been suspended from work. He's lost his
job. Only Amilio can take revenge and he can't do that while he's in love with Evanora.
