On your knees

He looked mesmerized by something I couldn't quite place my mind on and the way he looked into my eyes was like he was staring right deep into my soul.

The air around us thickened up as I tried to read his unreadable expression.

I felt the urge to know what was going on in that mind of his and why he hadn't said a word since I opened the door. 

A shiver runs down my spine looking into his icy cold blue eyes.

I've never been shaken up like this ever since I became a soldier.

Now I knew why people feared him. He was ruthless and his eyes had no life in them.

I cleared my throat diverting my attention somewhere else as I forced a smile on my face.

"How may I help you, please? "I asked feigning innocence.

"You're new here aren't you" he suddenly asked with his icy tone.

"Yes," I replied not breaking eye contact.

"Sorry for my rudeness, I'm Xavier Torres and I'll be the most honored man if you'd be my date for tonight.

Will you join me for dinner Miss"....  he added inviting me out.

"Aurora Brown" I replied.

"Beautiful name" he commented with a smile.

Aside from his ruthless personality and dark aura around him I hate to admit but he was a very attractive man with a contagious smile.

" Shall we head out now" he said bringing me out of my thoughts.

Heading out I felt his gaze all over my body especially my behind. This even gave me more confidence to swing my hips.

Tonight I'm in a long red dress with a slit on the left leg going all way up to my mid thigh accompanied by a black hill.

Going through the back entrance to the poolside with his guards surrounding us I realized there was a candlelight dinner. 

"Hope you like it" he spoke up with a little nervousness as he runs his hand through his perfectly combed hair.

This is something new, I never thought the almighty Diablo felt something called nervousness.

Does my appearance affect him so much it makes him this nervous the thoughts run through my mind.

"Ahem," he cleared his throat snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Sorry" I apologized.

This wasn't the time for me to be lost in thoughts, I need to go through with this mission.

"What were you thinking of" he asked curiously.

"About you" I literally blurted out.

It's not like I was lying anyway. He just smiled offering me a seat as he made himself comfortable.

With a snap of fingers waiters brought in his orders serving us a glass of wine. 

With a tad smile, I took the glass taking a sip from it watching them as they served us with our dinner.

He dismissed them with a snap after they were done.

Throughout our meal he barely spoke, all he did was stare and even though it got me feeling uncomfortable I had to endure. I smiled dropping my fork and knife wiping my lips.

" So tell me something about you" I spoke staring straight into his eyes.

After a few moments of silence, he spoke up. "I'm known as Diablo and I'm a businessman.  I've got a business proposal for you, come work for me".

I midway stopped sipping my wine brushing my hair behind my ear.

What a straight forward guy, I thought internally.

" When you say work for you, what do you have in mind," I asked faking a seductive tone.

" You'll find out soon," he said with a promising look.

"So is that a yes? " he asked and I nodded.

Aside from his cruelty, I noticed he was a man of few words.

"Fantastic" I murmured undertone.

" Can you excuse me for a second, I need to visit the washroom" I said excusing myself.

I quickly fixed the earphone in my ears the second I inspected there was no one around.

"Do you copy Zee", I spoke in a low tone.

"Copy" I heard his response. "Our men have secured the place waiting for orders now".

"Good" I replied.

"Copy ", I responded fixing my little hairpin camera on my hair.

I grabbed the gun I planted there earlier tucking it on my thigh gun holster around my thighs after I fixed my dress and walked out. 

"Sorry it took me long" I apologized taking my seat.

" No problem" he replied not taking his eyes off me.

"You're very beautiful" he commented making me fake those smiles again.

My cheeks already hurt from smiling so much tonight and it was starting to irritate me.

We spent a few minutes talking about the casino when he had a phone call his expression dropping totally.

Something I've been praying to see for the past 7 years.  

"What? how did it happen?"  he yelled unto the caller causing his men to exchange glances.  He stood up pacing up and down running his hands through his hair with his walking stick in hand. 

I sat still expressionless watching as he talked to his men. 

"Is everything ok?" I asked as he stopped talking and took a long deep stare at me.

Yes, take a long deep stare because it'll be your last I yelled internally.

He broke eye contact not giving me a reply and ordered 5 of his men to go check things out as the other five remained.

"Well, well, five gone five left, easy task" I murmured.

I smirked taking a sip of my wine watching the almighty Diablo get furious and frustrated.

Two waiters, I recognized to be Zee and Vee entered after being searched. 

The reason they were here was very simple.

Its wasnt because I couldn't take down five men by myself.

I can very much do it without any weapon but they insisted they help me out which on the other hand I was also very cool with.

Starting to clear up the table. Zee and Vee gave me an eye signal putting his hands under the table grabbing a gun they planted there earlier before we arrived.

Diablo and his men lost in conversation gave us the opportunity we needed to go through with our mission.

5 gunshots and five men were down as Diablo turned around grabbing his gun from his back pocket.

" Drop your phone and gun down and push it towards me or else the next bullet goes through your head and believe me I don't miss my targets "I threatened with a devilish grin on my face.

Slowly he placed the gun and phone down pushing it towards me as Zee went forward to pick them up.

"Now on your knees with your hands above your head" I  ordered watching him go down.  "How"?  he asked after some few seconds with shock written across his face.

I laughed because it was a sight to see. Something I've been dreaming of seeing.

"Who are you and what do you want" he questioned angrily.

"Who am I"?  I repeated laughing.

"Does the name John Gilbert ring a bell to you" I yelled with venom filling my voice.

"John Gilbert" he repeated the name.

"Yes and what has that name got to do in this situation?

Moreover, how can I forget when I watched him explode into thousand pieces" at the thought he smirked.

" So I'll ask again why do you talk of him," he asked emotionless.

No fear was in his eyes,  it was as if he was a robot deprived of feelings or any human emotions.

Vee looked a little frightened by him but Zee and I knew the likes of him.

"Wait!" he said stopping me from answering.

"You're his daughter aren't you"?  he asked.

" Of cause, I knew I've seen those eyes somewhere before.  You have his eyes, how could I have

missed that?
