LIRA'S POV 💰💰💰💰💰 Grab a bag I only have 5 for the first 5 people
After my plane landed in Albania, I let Enzo know. Fuck. I missed him already. We had so much fun in Fiji. But the bloody bitch fucking river of red had to visit me then. I'd have put Enzo in a hundred different positions if not. He's so fucking annoying sometimes. But also so gentle. I mean what kind of man would offer to massage your stomach and just lay together talking all night.
I walked through the early evening towards home. It was quiet like always. My body relaxed feeling my home inviting me back once more. I don't mind flying when I'm with Enzo, it's just still a bit difficult with my fucking jet lag but it is getting better.
I brushed my hair back and using a hair tie on my wrist I pulled it back into a ponytail. I wondered what Admir was doing. Walking into the house, I was greeted by the maid. She informed me that Admir was holding a meeting. My guard dropped off my luggage back to my room and I wandered into the kitchen. It was lonely without Enzo and even Raphael.
I picked up a green apple from the fruit bowl which was always freshly topped up. Turning it over in my hand, I checked it for bruises. I headed for the meeting room and bounced the apple in my hand. I looked at the two guards who stood outside the double doors to the room. One quickly opened it and I walked in making the conversation inside stop entirely.
"Oh don't stop." I held back a smirk and looked directly at Admir. He just watched me and pointed his hand at a seat. I walked over and as I did so, the eight men in the room watched my every move. Fuckers haven't got anything better to do. I pulled out the seat and sat down in between two men. Two men of whom I quite liked. I relaxed back with a sigh.
I looked across at a woman who sat beside Admir. "Hey Melisa." I greeted the beautiful brunette. She brushed back her curly hair and smiled at me. "Lira. Good to see you." She replied formally. Everyone around the table knew I favoured her more than any one of them.
"Continue." Admir said loudly. He smoked while watching the men talk and honestly it was fucking boring. I took a bite out of my apple, making a loud crunching sound, drawing more attention towards me. I didn't like how Glen was looking at me. His sneering and bald head drove me fucking crazy. I hated the man and Admir knew.
I remained silent, ignoring the conversation. If I needed to take part, I did. Everytime I took a bite of my apple, I noticed Glen glance my way. His eyes hungry with lust even though I was wearing jeans and a T-shirt. Nothing even remotely revealing. Admir continued talking and I pulled out my phone to text Melisa. I asked if she chose to sit next to my brother or did he want her there. I did like the girl. She was definitely trustworthy and loyal. I'm pretty sure Admir did fuck her but I don't know for certain. But this girl was perfect for him. He just didn't even know it.
I sniggered at something Melisa replied to me. "Can you be quiet?" A scratchy voice spoke up. I looked up to see Glen staring at me with his beady eyes. I placed my phone down onto the long glass table and tossed the apple into the trash can beside the door. It fell straight in, my aim being impeccable. I crossed my arms and slowly swivelled left and right in my chair. "Can I be quiet? That's a fascinating question. And unfortunately no, I can't, because you are in my fucking house. And who the fuck do you think you are talking to me like that?" I said coldly and calmly.
"Lira." Admir said sternly. I held up a hand to silence him and only I could ever get away with that. "I know what you do for us. I know how good you are at your job. But if you fucking dare talk to me again or even look my way. I'll gut you." I growled.

"Lira." Admir growled more loudly. I looked his way and put up my hands in defence. "Guards!" I yelled and the two guards walked in. Admir began to rise to his feet assuming I would start a fight or something, which I only did the one time previously. Can't this man get over it. The two guards burst into the room, guns in hand. "Yes shefi (boss)" They spoke in unison. I waved a hand. "Go get me some wine. The expensive red stuff." They nodded at me and left the room to fulfil my order.
No one was fazed with my behaviour. They knew I could kill any one of them without any remorse. And even Admir couldn't stop me. Admir began talking and Glen never looked my way again. Fucking idiot. I poured in a glass of the red wine when the guards came back with it. I held up the glass to my nose and inhaled the deep rich aroma. I took a small sip and placed it back down not feeling the need to drink it.
I stood up, pushing my chair back. I looked down at the wine glass on the table. God I would love to throw that at Glen. But if Enzo were here, he would tell me not to and Admir would not be happy with my behaviour. Admir watched me, knowing exactly what I was thinking. I rolled my neck and let out a short breath. Not today Glen, not today. But soon.
I walked out of the meeting room and walked out of the house. I pulled out my lighter and lit up a cigarette. One of the guards came to me with my phone which I had left behind. "Thank you." I smiled at him. He smiled back and slowly walked away.
I sat down on the metal bench which overlooked the garden. It was just all lawn and trees. I crossed my leg and smoked relaxing back. "I was surprised when you didn't throw the wine at Glen." Admir chuckled as he approached me from behind. I scoffed. "I hate that idiot. Don't you see the way he looks at me?" I sighed. He came around and sat down beside me. "I do and you'll have your moment. I promise." He sighed and leaned back.
"Did you end the meeting early?" I asked. He nodded and rubbed his hands together. "How was Fiji?" He looked ahead at the garden. I hummed. "It was nice." I smiled and tapped the cigarette, watching the ash fall onto the ground. "Just nice?" He quizzed as he pulled out his jet black lighter. He clicked it slowly. I hummed. "So Melisa looked good today." I spoke up as I watched him. His eyes did go softer, or maybe it was the deep glow of the setting sun. He simply nodded.
"She's fucking perfect. She's perfect for you. And I like her. So what's not to like?" I pressed unable to cope with his quietness. "She works for me. Nothing can happen." He spoke as he clicked his lighter loudly. I groaned and tossed my cigarette to the ground where it fizzled out. "What does it matter? Anyway Admir, I wanted to ask you something. I've been training for months now and I want to do something else. Specifically, I want to assassinate someone. Not just anyone. Someone that will try to kill me." I looked at him. His face remained calm as he thought it over. "Okay." He nodded.
"Oh." I opened my mouth. I didn't think he would let me. He chuckled sensing my confusion. "I want you to do whatever you want. You have really proved yourself. And if you want to assassinate someone, go ahead. Just don't get hurt." He spoke as he rubbed his stubbled jaw.
"Lira...our mother is dead." He spoke after a while, catching me off guard. "What!? How? You- ho- you didn't even know about her." I fumbled with my words with furrowed brows. My heart sank. My mother was dead. My father was dead. I was officially parentless, not that they were a big difference to my life. Saliva had gathered in my mouth and I gulped it down, feeling sad. I guess I was sad. My eyes remained downcast. "I didn't care about her, not since she left us to fend for ourselves but I always knew where she was." Admir explained filling up the silence.
"Then you know, about her son. Our half brother." I spoke up quietly. My mother wasn't all bad. There were the good times before she left. She raised me to be strong and independent. She protected me and fought for me. "I do..my men haven't found him." He replied, his own voice lower than normal. I looked up at him. "He's gone? Where? We have to find him." I breathed heavily.
"I have people looking. We'll find him. He's my brother. I'll find him." He assured. I sighed and shook my head. "How did she die?" I asked. "Overdose-" He explained but I cut him off. "Overdose? Always the fucking drugs. She loved them more than us. What did we do? She was meant to be our mother. And when father got abusive, she should have stood up to him. She should have taken us with her." I rushed out.
"I think it's murder. I think she was murdered. The boy could have ran. He could have hid." He spoke loudly to shut me up. Fuck what? "Who would want to murder an addict with nothing?" I rubbed my neck. "The boy. He's our brother. He's an easy target. Someone wants to fuck with us." He clenched his jaws tightly.
I stood up quickly, my arms either side of my body. I rushed off, leaving Admir behind. "Don't do anything stupid!" He yelled after me. Oh no, I will do something stupid. I practically ran to my room and shut the door behind me. Tears began to form and my chest felt so tight. She was my mother. The woman who fed me, taught me how to do my shoelaces, who bathed me.
I crumpled to the floor, my legs giving up on me My brother is missing. He may even be dead. A boy who I didn't even know. A boy who doesn't even know we exist. But he carries our blood and I will find him even if takes me months.
I stood up and harshly picked up my gun off my bedside table. "Oh fuck!" I held a hand to my heart when I saw Admir barge into my room. "I said don't do anything stupid. Now put the gun down and rest. You're going to get yourself killed." He looked at me stone cold as he observed the gun in my hand. I felt my blood boiling, I was tired, angry, sad. My emotions were a fucking mess.
I yelled out and tossed the gun behind him where it slammed into the wall. I started to sob and he embraced me. I tried to push him off me but ultimately I let him just hold me. I hugged him tightly and cried. It was my mother who died. She wasn't in my life for most of it, she left me but yet all I remember was that kind caring woman who looked at me like I was the light of her life. Admir knew that, he understood.
I sobbed into his shirt, wetting the fabric with my tears. He rubbed my back slowly with his hand and tried to console me. "She didn't even say..I didn't get to ask." I sniffed as I pulled away from him. "Ask what?" He looked at me with his own eyes being glazed over with water.
"Why she left. I was ten years old and she left me, she left us... I know she left with that man, but still she just left us. I should have found her and asked. Did she even want to come back?" I breathed while I rubbed my eyes dry. Admir looked down at the floor, he was lost for words. How could anyone console me.
"I need to find him. He's my brother." I inhaled a sharp breath and blinked my eyes. "Okay we will. We'll go together...he's my family too Lira. I promised myself to always take care of you and I feel ashamed I didn't find him before. I could have given him a home." He gulped and rubbed his eyes as he looked away from me.
"What about that man? His father." I sighed and picked up the gun off the floor. I ran my hand down the wall where the gun had left a dent. "My men will find him and bring him here. The boy can decide what to do with his father." He sighed. I looked at him. He must be upset over our mothers death even though he didn't show it. I walked over and placed a hand on his tense shoulder. We didn't even know the boys name.
"Come on, let's have a drink and I'll tell you some stories." Admir smiled softly. "And we'll go and look later." He walked out of my room. He was right. I'd never find him without a strategy and I don't remember much about mother so it would be nice to hear some stories of the good times.
