Chapter four

   

   

      she smiled seeing her target.

 Entering the shop, she looked around. The owner looking at her with disgust.

She scrunched her nose approaching Eliza.

" Are you lost", she spat. She eyed Eliza wearily

Arrogant bitch, Eliza thought. She rolled her eyes.

" One of your finest piece", she demanded making herself comfortable moving further into her shop.

No cameras, she noted. 

" Can you afford it?" The owner asked.

Eliza turned, she stared at the woman before speaking.

" How dare you", she yelled causing a fuse in the shop attracting other customers attention. 

The woman tried to assure them there was nothing so Eliza seized the opportunity to sneak a small gown into her clothes and a pair of dark shades to go with her dressing.

"You know what, I am leaving and never coming back", Elizabeth flipped her hair brushing pass the woman, she intentionally hit her shoulder making the woman stumbled.

Exiting the shop, she walked rapidly leaving the area before the woman notice her gown missing.

   Entering the nearest restaurant, Elizabeth headed to the restroom to get changed. She brushed her tangled hair, splashing some water on her face, she looked different with the cloth and scarf.

  Blue eyes stared at her mockingly, her eyes was empty as it showed no emotions, her clothes framed her thin body. She rubbed her stomach, her rib line showing. Elizabeth was too small, no wonder people looked down on her. Her curly brunette hair fall down her waist, she treated it with water making it a little smooth.

She smiled but it came out fake, she will survive.

  Elizabeth discarded her old clothes in the waste bin, moving gracefully to the restaurant. She sat elegantly looking into the menu. She knew her money was not enough but she decided to enjoy been in a fancy place. 

  After sitting for some minutes, she stood up to leave. She noticed some women whispering to each other. At first, she thought they were talking about her but when her eyes followed theirs, she saw a tall, muscular guy entering the restaurant. There were people behind him, seeing them dressed in black, Elizabeth knew they were the bodyguards. Watching him lit his cigarette, their eyes met. 

     He walked further into the restaurant,  Elizabeth breath hitched when she saw his face clearly. A six foot man with neatly shaved beard and sharp jaw. He was muscular, the suit hugged his body, his shirt transparent revealing his tone chest. He was like a Greek god. She realized she was drooling when a little spit fell on her clothes, she wiped it off. 

   Approaching her, their eyes not leaving the other, he stared at her as he walked. Eliza sat up straight, her hands smoothen her dress under the table, she was nervous.

He walked pass her not even stopping to talk to her, she turned to see where he was heading then she realized he wasn't coming to her, what was she thinking.

Glancing at him one more time, she left the restaurant.

Leonardo's POV 

 Hearing no reply, his guard asked again.

  "Sir, aren't we going in?" He asked confused.

 "Not now", Leonardo pursed his lips, putting the cigarette back to his lips, he inhaled.

"Sir, but...", the grim look on his face stopped the assistant from asking any other question.

He looked through the car window, finishing his cigar before coming out of the car.

Throwing the cigarette on the floor, he crushed the remains with his boot.

The guards open the door for him, stepping in, he scanned the room for the man he was here for, here to kill. He smirked at his thoughts. 

His eyes landed on a petite brunette girl. She was too small and malnourished.

Fragile, he thought.

He moved closer to her, his eyes fixed on her untill he saw a glimpse of the person he was looking for. He diverted his attention to him passing by her.

   Vladimir sat with cigarette in his mouth, he signalled to his boys when he saw Leo heading towards him, he knew he was in danger, so he prepared his guards on standby in case of anything happening.

     Leo stood in front of him trying to intimidate Vladimir, it worked as his saw his brow twitched. He was satisfied at the reaction he bought out of him.

"Dobryy den' vlad, (good day vlad)", he greeted in Russian language sitting down opposite his direction.

"Leo", Vladimir nodded.

" priyatno videt' tebya, (It is a pleasure to see you)", Vladimir smiled looking around to see if his boys were with him.

"Davay zaydem v lichnyy razdel, ( let us go into the private section)" Vladimir spoke.

"Togda ochen' khorosho, (very well then)", Leo replied smiling.

They left for the private room to discuss their business. Leo chuckled seeing the numbers of guards in the private room, Leonardo laughed, bending over.

"Vse eto dlya menya ( all this for me?)" He smirked.

"Ya ne doveryayu tebe ( I don't trust you)", Vladimir spoke truthfully, he collected Leo's coke and here he was in his restaurant, he knows Leo, everybody knows leo, he is ruthless.

"Ta rad, chto ty etogo ne sdelayesh',potomu chto ya tebya isporchu ( I am glad you don't because I will fucking mess you up)", he laid his hands flat on the table leaning over it, he picked a cigarette, lighting the cigarette but not smoking. 

"Ya by ne stal etogo delat' yesil by byl ty Leo ( I won't do that if I were you Leo)", his guards moved forward pointing the gun at Leo. 

Leo sat down crossing his legs, he twirled the bud between his fingers. Snapping it, a red sign showed on Vladimir's head followed by more on his body. Vladimir's guards could not protect him, they had to surrender their gun if they want Vladimir to live. 

       Vladimir stumbled in shock, he thought he was the one in control, so Leo had been in control since he stepped into the restaurant. He broke out sweating.

     "Gde moy koks ( where is my coke?)" He asked calmly, he was here to make him suffer not kill him that easily. He knew people hated him.
