Rising Like A Phoenix

Chapter 15

Maya’s P. O. V

‘****Attention****

You have successfully completed the task before time. As a reward, you just unlocked the feature to track the position of anything or anyone using just their name or id.

Congratulations.

You will be assigned with another task in the following day.

Thank you.’

The radiant screen once again disappeared after announcing my achievement in the same animated voice and I was left in the darkness of the room once again.

It is quite some time since Massimo left with the briefcase full of money, leaving his precious weapons here with me at last, cause you know, money has the power to resolve any kind of argument in the end.

Why pistols like FN Five-seven will not be one’s favourite when it is famed for the ability to penetrate many types of body armour.

This beauty is indeed powerful.

I took in a deep breath, keeping my eyes far at the outside world which was still sparkling in the night ever so beautifully unlike this dark room where I was sitting. I rested my arms on the chair but the pistol which I was still holding in my hand felt heavy as if it was dragging my entire body down to the hell bit by bit from where I can never be able to rise.

Anyway,

Now that, I have done my part of the task successfully, I have other things to worry about, cause this room will not be safe for me to stay in any further only if I want to hide my identity for the time being. Massimo already knows about this place and he will definitely try to find out with whom he just made a deal. So, it would be wise for me to get all the history of my entry erased from the server of this hotel before I decide to disappear from this place.

I sighed thinking that my life is going to be hard from now on, as I have already stepped into this world of criminals. Not that I regret much but still as if I was already devastated, cause even though I came back to my twenties after I died, I felt like I stayed in. this mafia world for too many years. And now I do not even know when exactly I would get to retire myself after taking my revenge on those who did betray me in my previous life.

And I also have to find him who died for me that night.

So, I just could not afford to take any break.

But for now, a few hours of sleep is what I needed the most, or I will surely collapse.

I stood up from the desk at last and carefully put my new two beauties in the drawer just before I set an alarm on my phone before going to bed.

I was too lazy to get out of this attire and dozed off to sleep in no time.

Yes, I was tired like a hell.

I woke up to the beeping sound of my phone as the alarm went off a few hours past midnight. The sky was still dark as there was time for the sun to come up from behind the horizon yet. But the dazzling light from the streets of Las Vegas was still enough to keep the city bright and shining even at the night.

Without wasting any time over something as useless as this, I get down from the bed and went straight to the washroom to get myself ready for the next mission which I have assigned for myself already.

To make myself invisible to others.

Yes, that means I wanted to erase all my records since when I got myself checked in this hotel. I know that it will not be any easy to accomplish but one thing I know that I have to do it in any way possible.

Standing in front of the large mirror and the washbasin, I looked at myself for some time. I could not help thinking that I was not at all like this in my previous life when I was in my twenties. Back then I was not this rough and careless about how I look but that also does not mean I was so into fashion and stuff. I was a normal girl who wanted to live a normal life until when she was allowed.

But, in this life, I have willingly jumped into the steaming blaze on my own only to turn out this way. My identity is what I just can not reveal yet, I need to stay in disguise until it is time to come into the light and so many things like this for which I have to stay alert.

Unconsciously I pulled the drawer of the vanity table out and the thing which first caught my eyes was the pair of scissors among other tools. And just then I decided and determined my mind about what I wanted to do with it now. I needed to chop off this useless long hair that I have as soon as possible cause it might be bothersome for me afterwards.

So, I did not think long, neither did I wait for any more second and grabbed the scissors in no time and started to cut off my hair which used to come down my waist just a moment ago, but now I was intending to make it short that it could barely come past my neck.

And when I was done chopping my hair ruthlessly, I was more than satisfied to look at my reflection in the mirror.

Yes, there was standing a whole new me.

Maya, who once burned down into ashes but born again.

Just like a phoenix.

And that is what my name is going to be in this life, at least for the people who belong to the underworld.

Phoenix.

The one who never dies.
