Anastasia:
I walked out to the front porch where Elijah was standing in front of the fence after he made a phone call. I could see Yaroslav standing by his car, keeping his ‘Pakhan’ safe in case things went wrong. He nodded and I returned the favor before looking at Elijah.
Mum having just walked to her room to rest, gave Elijah and I our privacy believing that he’s my friend who I suddenly have a romantic fling with.
“Is everything alright?”
“Must there be something wrong?” Elijah shot back. He turned to face me and for a second, I swear I saw anger in his eyes.
“Do you want to tell me why you traced the house and came all the way here?” I asked. Seeing him in my house was the last thing I expected, and the fact that he parked a few blocks away from the house only made it oblivious to me that he did show up to begin with. I didn’t even know how he managed to convince mum to let him in, but whatever it was; I knew that he didn’t come here to s
Elijah: “Fucking hell” I said as we caught sight of the man’s body. The street was empty despite the few cars that passed by every few minutes. That explained why the ‘killer’ ended up throwing his body here, and how the cops got the call. “I must admit, whoever this ‘killer is’ he seems to be a little too creative with his methods” Yaroslav said standing beside me as Anastasia inspected the scene. The man was dead, placed in a sitting position with his back against the car. Blood came out of his mouth as he was slaughtered, his face was bruised, his eyes swollen, I could already tell that his nose was broken, and the letter Z was carved on his forehead. I could also tell that the man has been taken a long while before today, the cuts that were on his face revealed dried out blood. However, I also believe that he was killed today, but it must have happened early morning judging by the dried out blood on his neck and shirt. Anastasia pinched the bridge
Anastasia:I handed Jason my badge and my gun before taking a step back to stand beside Elijah who entered the station with me. Yaroslav and Timur waited outside the office’s door, not trusting me to have their boss inside the police station. I couldn’t blame them either; therefore, I didn’t bother questioning them about it.“Thank you for your services, Anastasia” Jason said dismissing me. I knew that he didn’t want to do this, but Blake left him no other choice when he handed him the video of me taking the file from the cabinet. I knew what was in stake when I did it.Blake arrived to the station alongside his new ‘partner’, one of the FBI agents, and smirked when he saw me standing in front of Jason. I shook my head at him knowing that he would come to taunt me, but I wasn’t in the mood for that. If anyone knew how much I worked on this case; it was Blake, and to see that he did what he has so easily only
Elijah:“Thank you” Anastasia told the maid who took her coat from her. The maid walked toward the closet to hang it while Anastasia watched before she was guided in.She held her mug of coffee in her right hand while her phone was in her left. Her laptop bag was strapped on her shoulder. Her dark brown hair was tied in a messy bun over her head. She wore a black shirt and black pants, and I couldn’t help but notice that she didn’t have any makeup on.“You do realize that we have coffee in the house and all you had to do to get a mug was ask” I said nodding at her mug.“Hello to you too, Elijah. I hope you had a pleasant evening” sarcasm dripped from her tone and seeing the dark circles under her eyes, I realized that she may have not had a good night herself “if there’s anything that you may need; you’ll find me in the office”I nodded and watched as she walked toward her offi
Anastasia:I stared at my open bags as I packed the things that I would be taking with me. It has been a week since both Elijah and I started working together and need I say that things were going well considering the fact that we were both on a constant bicker before that.Knowing that it’s a mafia gathering; I wasn’t sure what it was I was going to wear there. Therefore, I chose to bring three dresses with me along with different heels as to match whatever dress I would choose. My curler and makeup kit were also in the bag. I wasn’t one to want to go with straight hair if I could help it, and judging by the fact that my hair was naturally curly; I preferred it that way.Thankfully, mum was already safe and at the safe house alongside the two nurses. She didn’t know about me going to Vegas in specific; however, she knew that I wouldn’t be in the city for the next week. She didn’t even know that I had my badge taken away, and
Elijah:I watched as Blake walked out of Anastasia’s house. The two of them seemed to be furious, and seeing Anastasia’s normally neat hair somewhat messed up; I grew curious.Frowning in confusion. Both Yaroslav and I looked at the man who marched toward his car before Anastasia slammed her house’s door shut and her previous partner slammed his own car door behind him before taking off at full speed, not caring that he was in an area where he shouldn’t.“What do you think he was up to?” Yaroslav asked. The two of us have been keeping a close eye on Anastasia’s house for a while now. We needed to know whether or not we could trust her, and therefore, we kept her under surveillance.“Not sure, but whatever it was; both seem to be annoyed by it” I said staring at the house’s front door. We were leaving for Vegas tonight. The private jet was already ready for our departure and the crew were there ensuring that everything was cleared and set.I nodded at Yaroslav and we both opened the ca
Anastasia:We got off the plane and got inside the car that was waiting for us by the stairs. The drivers stood by the doors, waiting for us to get down before they opened the doors and closing them once we were inside the car. The charisma that radiated from each of the men told me how much power they all had, and I couldn’t help but wonder how they all started being who they were to begin with. I mean, they weren’t just born like this, right?I looked out the window as the driver drove. It wasn’t Timur this time. The man was back at Los Angeles despite the many men who came with us. This being the first time I’ve been to Vegas, I was curious about what it would be like.It was my dream as a teenager to go there, but mum being as protective as she was, didn’t let me go. Hell, if she found out that I was here, at the age of twenty-five, she would flip. It was one of those ‘forbidden areas’ in her eyes, and judging by the vision I gave her about the parties, poker bars, and hooker bars
Elijah:“But I wanted a tour around the city…”“You need to be able to stand to go on a tour, Anastasia” I said walking inside the suite. I set Anastasia on her feet to prove a point only to smirk when she tripped on her heels, gripping on my shirt for dear life as she fought to balance herself. Her eyes met mine and I couldn’t help but smile at her sight. The way she cheekily smiled at me, looking like a five year old who was tripping on her feet as she learned how to walk.She didn’t even know what she was wasting as she worked as a cop at the stations that she was with. Most of those she worked with didn’t even know what she was worth. Those who did didn’t mind letting her go and it was a shame that no one was showing or telling her that she was worth a lot more than those walls or death cases “let me help you take off these heels, then I’ll get you water as to help you sober up, yeah?”She kept her eyes on the cut that was on my eyebrow then the cut that was on my cheek “you know,
Anastasia:“If it isn’t the drunken beauty” Yaroslav said the second he took sight of me. My heart raced as I fought not to blush, remembering the fact that I was practically drooling over him as I ran my finger over his chest. The man who was behind this was going to pay if I ever recognized him, and Elijah punching him would seem like a blessing to him instead of a punishment “I trust you gave Elijah one hell of a tough night”“She was on Aphrodisiac. I can’t blame her for the way she was acting, and unfortunately, I wasn’t raised to take advantage of a drunk, drugged woman” Elijah teased from beside me. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder making me roll my eyes before pulling away from his arms. He smirked and winked at me, enjoying how annoyed I was. Just the fact that I was on a drug was annoying to me, and knowing that it was one that had me acting like a complete horny bitch, actually turning me on, annoyed me more than I could let out. Both men didn’t understand how annoying
