HANNAH'S POV
"He made you do what ?" Kerry yelled at the top of her voice getting the attention of our surroundings.I told her to keep it down, the whole world didn't need to know what we were talking about."I have to pick a suitor from his recommendations admist that I have another mission to follow up." Kerry reached over to have a look at the recommendations."Damn your uncle took his time. Eww why is Christian here ? He doesn't expect you to marry that psychopath does he ? " Kerry gagged.I sighed. " If I don't pick at least one. Christian would be my latter. It doesn't help matters that the men on the list don't have a good impression of me." I said sobbing quietly."Brian, oh I remember him he was your partner for a mission. You guys were unstoppable on a mission, why not him ?" Kerry muttered calling out the first candidate. "The imbecile kept setting up for failure when we were together. If we get married I might murder him." I said pushing myself back to seat comfortably."Oh what about Sinclair The prime minister son. He's handsome and rich and not an assassin like Brian." Kerry insisted."Sinclair hates me and at the same time is obesssed with me. He would put a bullet on my head and make sure I survive. It will be a toxic cycle of abuse. I'll pass." I obliged."Oh yeah I forgot about that incident. You've dated Sinclair." Kerry recalled. "Exactly, I don't want to be married to him." I sighed."How about Cameron ?""I kicked him in the balls once he holds a grudge against me for that, such a wuss." I said."Zachary ?"My brows arched, trying to recall how I met this man."Ah, oh right I murdered his best friend at the time and tried to poison him. He's a handsome face with a nasty character. He bullied me till I transferred to another school. I despise him the most." I hissed which got Kerry curious."Why ?" Kerry asked."Out of all the suitors recommend he's the only one who's family hasn't dabbled in dirty money. He didn't have to kill, backstab or lie to get his money. That moron lived such a good life. I envy him even more." I muttered underneath my breath."If he hasn't dabbled in dirty money why is he a recommended suitor ?" Kerry asked. "Probably business related I guess. Even though the Mendova's do ill business they still have to make connections." I said looking over at Kerry. "Damien and Eddy are here." Kerry insisted."Damien is still scornful that I took his virginity without taking responsibility and Eddy is like the younger version of my uncle. They are both out of the table." I said groaning."If your uncle planned to marry you off why did he select these animals ?" Kerry asked. "Probably to gain points for Christian, he thinks I'll settle with Christian. I need to pick one of them and marry them it doesn't matter how much they hate me after 18 months I'll be free." I threw my hands in the hair out of excitement."Ah before I forget would you be busy this Saturday ?" Kerry asked. "What's the occasion ?" I asked. "I need you to murder a man for me." Kerry smiled in the most cutest tone."What happened ?" I asked."Father wants me to court him. This man is rumored to be a woman beater. I confirmed this so I'm not spewing trash. My father said the only way his decision could be annulled is if he ends up dead." Kerry said."So you want me to murder your boyfriend." I rehearsed confirming it's what she wanted. "I'm not that cheap. How much are you willing to pay ?" I teased Kerry who took out her purse and dropped a wad load of cash."This is 10 grand, is it enough ? I can make it 20." Kerry says as my mouth dropped. "Kerry where did you get all this money ?" I asked."Oh don't worry it's just change I found in my dad's pocket." My mouth dropped wider. "10 grand is just change ?" I yelled and then realized that I was in a public setting."Kerry this is too much." I said."It's what I want to get the job done. You barely get paid. You only work for your family and get treated like trash just accept my offer just this once." Kerry begged until I gave in. "Fine but I want 15 grand." I insisted."Of course I'll even pay 20 if this is successful." I looked at Kerry, I guess that innocent face has a twisted mind. "Very well then." I said picking up my phone to go complete a mission my uncle sent me bidding Kerry goodbye at the same time.After the mission I came back exhausted, I went to report back to my uncle. After my reports I strut down the hallway to my room.I met someone leaning against my door, he noticed my presence and locked eyes with me.I rolled my eyes and stood in front of him."Get out of the way will you." I yelled at James who suddenly seemed deaf. "Dad said you were going to get married soon ? Is this part of your plan to escape this family ?" James lowered his gaze to mine, I didn't waver I just looked at him with a deadpan expression."Yes, now move." I answered.He didn't so I lift my hand up to push him away but he gripped hold of my hand and pushed me against the wall. "Do yourself a favor and marry Christian. You should know by now you belong to this family." He said as his eyes darkened."I'm not some breed you can play with. Neither am I an animal you can disregard. Go back to minding your own business and I'll mind mine." My tone was morbid. It made James take some steps back."Fine do whatever you want." He scoffed walking away. I hissed not really interested with what up was wrong with him. "Marry Christian my foot. I rather lick the bathroom floor." I hissed angrily.••••••I locked the hotel door behind me. I successfully murdered Kerry's fiance or whatever. I was on my phone telling her the mission was a success.My eyes cast over a pair of familiar, our eyes instantly locked. I averted mind and retreated to look at my phone. I hope he would ignore me."Fancy seeing you here Victoria." I froze on my steps and turned to meet Zachary's."Please call me by my first name, it's appalling hearing you say my last name." I hissed at him as he glared right back at me. Once a bully, always a bully."I haven't seen you for a while. Jacob said he proposed. I'm glad you refused I wouldn't want a murderer as an inlaw." Zachary commented with a fake smile."Then I should get going then." I said about to leave."What are you doing here ?" He asked. "For business." A wicked smile appeared on my lips, I didn't know when Zachary pinned me against a wall with his hands wrapped around my neck."Who did you kill this time ?" He asked aggressively choking me. I smirked, I find it hard to choke or Zachary didn't have a killers intent in his blood.He was barley making me cough."If I tell you, I'd have to kill you too." I said with murderous intent clear in my eye.ZACHARY'S POVI didn't know when my hands found their way to Hannah's neck. I wasn't doing much of a good job anyway since she was just snickering at me. I heave a deep breath and backed away from her, she barely brushed the side of her throat or even coughed."Why didn't you push me away." I yelled at her."Oh please, you barely did anything. The only thing you did was waste my time." Hannah said ignoring my gaze and going through her phone."Hannah…" we both turned to see Olivia run up to the both of us. "Olivia, you're working for Zachary ?" Hannah says glaring at me."Yes, I am. Mr Zachary treats me well " Olivia said as Hannah got hold of her hand to admire her ring. "You're engaged ?" Hannah asked as Olivia nodded her gaze shifted to me. "Oh it's not Mr Zachary. I'm engaged to another man." Olivia said clearing up the misunderstanding."I suspect so, you're way too good for Zachary." Hannah says. "I wouldn't put it that way Hannah." Olivia chuckled in hopes Hannah doesn't upset
HANNAH'S POVToday was Olivia's engagement party, it was currently 7am and I was in dire need to get a present. I tried to recall what Olivia used to like but it was all fruitless. On top of that my uncle request for my presence to have breakfast with the family. After that stunt I pulled I wasn't allowed to eat with the Mendovas. It was the best punishment I've ever received and sadly all good things must come to an end.I heard footsteps match with mine, I did not bother to look back the only person I could think of wasn't worth it to take a look at. I immediately hasten my steps. "That hurts my pride Anna." I froze on my steps immediately, I turned to look at Christian who was dressed in a dress shirt tucked under his black pants. "Tell it to someone who actually cares." I hissed turning my back at him, his grip found its way to my shoulders. "Well you better start caring since you're going to be my wife." I almost went mad in am instant, I tried to stay calm as possible."That ca
ZACHARY'S POVCongratulations filled the air, I looked over at the number of people who paid their respect to Olivia and her fiance. Olivia was really doing charity, I don't want to compare but I was way better looking than her fiance. What did he have that I didn't.He was an employee of mine and somehow he managed to get engaged to my secretary. I didn't even know he worked for me until Olivia introduced us to each other.I called Olivia to a corner and handed her an envelope. She held tightly held on to it but shook her head. "This is an early wedding gift." I said, she opened it to see a hundred dollar notes in 250 pieces. "Mr Zachary, this is 250 grand." Olivia muttered wide eyed."It's your early wedding gift and also my thanks for being my secretary. Flora told me you were resigning, I know you were going to tell me but I was hurt hearing it from Flora." I faked being betrayed right in front of Olivia who pressed her palm over her eyes. I instantly realize she was trying to ho
HANNAH'S POV"You didn't have to hit my head so hard." Zachary whined the moment we exited the building. Sirens blurred the atmosphere. Police cars surrounded the building, they already taped the building. I watched as they extract the man that got shot.Zachary watched my eyes move and focused his gaze on the man also. What a night.Me and Zachary moved past the tapes as a medic walked up to the both of us. "Are you alright any injuries ?" He asked. I looked at Zachary and left him with the Medic. "Hannah." I turned on the mention of my name. "Do you want me to escort you to the hospital ?" I asked."Absolutely not." He yelled. "You're unbearable." He added. "Then don't waste my time just so you could tell me that." I hissed at him. "You better get patch up we don't want you having some brain injury of some sort." I winked at him, he got pissed."Remember our deal Zachary, oh before I forget your number please." I walked over to him and exchange numbers quickly. "I'll contact you tom
ZACHARY'S POV"Can you lend me 1.2 billion dollars ?" I knew I should have hanged up on this gold digger when she called. I had to check if this was real and pinch myself unfortunately it was actually her.For goodness sake I just got treated."I'm pretty sure I was the one who got hit to the head five times. Have you gone mad ?" I half yelled.I heard an audible sigh from her end."You deserve another hit on the head. It's urgent." She claimed. "Sinclair, a candidate from my uncle's recommendation just bribed my uncle with a cheque of a billion dollars for my hand in marriage." She explained. "Who's Sinclair ?" I asked."Sinclair Asher, the current prime minister son. With your connections I don't expect you to be this daft." I tried to play calm so her words wouldn't get to me."I'm not obligated to know some prime minister son's name. Besides this is a good thing we don't need to get married anymore. Problem solved." I said."Problem not solved. Sinclair is a murderer." And her poin
HANNAH'S POV"I've sent you the money miss Hannah." Zachary's secretary informed me with a phone call."Thank you." I said about to hang up. "You must be very important to mr Zachary for him to lend you this amount of money at this hour." The nosy secretary pestered. "Of course but I'm sure this affair should be non of your business." I said irritated."Of course, good day miss Hannah." The call ended with her hanging up. Who the hell was that anyways?I thought Olivia was his secretary.It didn't matter I had the money and I was done with a job anyways. I looked at the cold body of Iris Miggens on her bedroom floor. Her eyes were lifeless and her hair was starting to dull, the poison I gave her had spread and it would take a few hours before it evaporated from her body. The poison is known as neqor one of the most deadliest herbs that the Mendova's dealt on. Uncle had a farm that secretly harvested them so we did not only use it to get what we want, we also sold it to the highest bi
ZACHARY'S POV"Mr Zachary, you seem distracted." Tammy voiced out of concern. "Should we go back to your office?" Tammy suggested.I was buried in the rumors of Hannah Victoria and Sinclair Asher's engagement. Ever since Sinclair went on that interview people kept talking and it irritated me to some degree, mostly since my employees were supposed to be working but they had time to get their mouths busy with rumors."Yes, let's go back to the office." I said thinking being closed by the walls of my office, it will be a better feat for me. i didn't have to hear anything about Hannah.On my way to the office a few employee's greeted me and Tammy, I couldn't help but pay attention to the group of three banter."Sinclair Asher revealed what ?" One of them gasped. "He said that he proposed and she accepted.""I thought that they broke up ?""Guess they made up. I'm so glad I shipped them so much. Sinclair is such a sweetheart and Hannah is so beautiful. They make a good pair." Zachary tsked
HANNAH'S POV"The customer you're contacting is not available." The line went down again for the last hour now.I've been trying to get a hold of Zachary but the bastard wouldn't pick up.Just great, when I just got Sinclair off my back he begins to torture me by just disappearing.I was in the hallway leaning against my bedroom door when I see James with two of his infamous friends. "Dude your sister is way hotter in person" One of them complimented. "She's not my sister." I grinned, he didn't agree that I was ugly, it wouldn't matter if he said such though but come to think of it James never once called me ugly. Though he called me unbearable, not fun and a whole lot of awful names so it didn't matter if he didn't have ugly in his vocabulary."Well she's way hotter than Lilly." One of them muttered to James. They were all clad in black. Only James wore a suit though, he was probably back from aunt's funeral and met them along the way.The funny thing is Aunt Beatrice death was annou
