Chapter five

            people wanted him dead because he became very successful at a young age, his father was the founder of the Mafia group. When he became too old to run the business, his son Leo took charge. Leo mexpanded it more and built more name that his father, this led to hatred from other mafia groups.

     Leo doesn't care, he let the gun speak.

 "Vladimir", he called.

      Vladimir signalled to his boys to bring the little box containing Leo's coke. He thought by seizing his coke, he would put fear on Leo's mind but little did he know that Leo was not someone to toy with. He is ruthless, a devil's incarnate.

   Vladimir's guard hurriedly came in with the box, he dropped it on the table. Leo opened it to check if it was truly his, he brought out a little dagger piercing the packed coke and sniffing it.

  "So--oo, now what?", He smiled knowing that Vladimir doesn't understand what he was saying, he has his guard translating what Leo said to him. 

 Vladimir laughed.

"Ya ne yedinstvennyy, kto idot za toboy Leo ( I am not the only one coming for you Leo)", he glowered at Leo. 

  

   "I know", hitting the man on the chest with his foot, the force sent the man backwards sprawling on the floor that he spat blood. Leo stepped on the man kneeling beside him, he watched in satisfaction as the man's face twitched in fear.

  "Now tell me, how should I kill you?", He got up circling the man. 

  Vlad showed no response as he has given up, he laid on the floor unmoving and defeated.

  

" Any last words?"

  "Poshel na khuy ( fuck you)". Vladimir spat.

  "I see there are no last words", Leo drawled.

He brought out his gun, Vladimir shuddered, exhaling shakily. Leo smiled.

  "Bye, bye", he pulled the trigger watching the man body lay limp on the floor. He pushed the body away watching his guards stared at him in fear, they surrendered their guns, kneeling in front of him.

   "Too late", he smirked. " Kill them all", Leo ordered.

  Leaving the room, the restaurant resounded with the sound of gunshot.

Leo watched people screaming and running out of the restaurant, he joined the crowd lighting his cigarette as he exit the place.

  "Let us go",  Leo ordered as he neared the guards, they quickly obeyed driving off the scene before the cops arrive.

Leo smiled bitterly, he hates when he gets his hands dirty. His first victim was when he was nineteen, that was when he had his first kill. His father was brutally murdered right in front of him by his rivals. That was when leo knew the world was a wicked one.

 When leo became the leader, he killed all those responsible for his father's death. That was when he became a blood thirsted monster, some people said he was psycho, some said he was cursed. But he knew in his heart, the world made him who he was today.

  He lit his cigarette inhaling it deeply before slowly exhaling. What he needed now was a nice and comfortable bathe. And a woman by his side, definitely not Zoey.

   

Elizabeth's POV

  Walking in the street of London, she swing her purse gracefully. Elizabeth smiled remembering today's event. She wander around looking at the new stores and came across a little girl selling hand made bracelets, Elizabeth stopped in front of the girl smiling.

"Hello", Elizabeth waved.

"Hello", the little girl replied.

"Do you want to buy?", She asked timidly.

"How much is it?" Elizabeth asked.

  She picked a colorful one with a moon and star pendant.

"I like this one, how much is it?" She asked again.

"One dollar", the girl replied.

"Okay", she gave the girl two dollars. Seeing how happy the girl was, she smiled.

"Would you help me with it please?", The girl nodded. Helping her put on the bracelet, Eliza raised her hand checking the little bracelet.

"I like it, it is beautiful---", Elizabeth paused leaning to pinch her cheeks.

"Beautiful like you", she continued making the girl giggled.

"Thank you. I am Elsa" she introduced.

"And you are??"

"Elizabeth", she replied.

" You are beautiful", the girl commented.

" Awwn, thank you", Elizabeth cooed.

" Do you know the meaning of the pendant?" The little girl asked to which Eliza shook her head.

" The star is in the moon which means you are a star and the moon is protecting you", she explained.

" But I have no moon", Eliza said confused.

" You will soon ", she smiled.

" And the moon will protect that shining light of yours.

" Uhmm, okay--yy" , she smacked her lips, saying good bye to the girl, she left.

"Her moon", she thought. She kept on replaying the conversation she had with the girl.

Girl, she was so confused. Sighing, she walked in the empty street. The night lamp was on, Elizabeth was tired, she had a long day today, she stared at the moon shining above. It was going to protect her. She was angry, tired and confused. She will try to believe the girl.

Reaching her turf, she yawned loudly sitting on her bed. She has to leave here and find a better place to sleep. The place was too risky for her. Making herself a cup of tea, she carried it to a hill beside her home. Elizabeth sat on the floor looking at the beautiful clouds and the city beneath it. She is always in awe anytime she see the city lit up at night. It is a view she can't get used to. Sighing, she lowered her head, she doesn't want to think about how her life was.

  Flashback.....

Getting her prepared for the man to take her away, the guards handed her to the maids to bathe her and put her in her finest wears. Elizabeth couldn't stop crying, she trembled as the maid bathe her. After putting on her clothes, she chewed her lips nervously trying to formulate a plan.

" You are looking beautiful princess", the man commented.
