Meeting him.

"Thank goodness his guards were not around, you could have hurt yourself. You never listen to me, I told you to always inform me before you embark on a mission"
Uncle Diego and I are in the training room and he seems very upset with me. I had gone to Italy without telling him. I got information that Romero will be coming back to Italy. I had followed them because my source told me he will be attacked.
"I wanted to save him from those assassins" I said adding ice to my injured arm. Diego removed the ice and started wrapping my arms with a bandage.
"I honestly don't understand you, on the one hand you hate him and want to cause him pain and on the other hand you are risking your life to protect him" he says angrily.
"That's the point uncle, I don't want him dead. Death will be too easy for him. I want him to suffer only at my hands, I want to be the one to cause him all the pains" I say running hands through my hair.
"but you'll be hurting yourself too in the process, you'll be reminded of your past. You need to heal..."
"No uncle, I need to feel" I said cutting him off. "what I need to feel is the satisfaction of hurting him, this is me now. This is the monster he made, he made me this girl I am today. So why not show him who I am now. I'll be leaving for Italy tommorow. He's back in town now. I need to get to work.
"I also resent that family but the reason I'm stopping you is because this journey will mess with you. You're not only fighting an enemy but you're fighting the love of your life"
"I'll be fine uncle, Romero is no more the man I worship, he's now the man I'll cause pain. Go have some rest"
Uncle Diego just nodded and went upstairs. I know he has a painful history with the Cartels, they killed his wife. The only reason he hasn't killed Romero is me. I asked him not to. Romero is not my only target in the Cartel family. The numbers are just too many to count and they will all go down. One after the other.
I lay down on the floor and recount the nights events.
---- some hours ago ----
Just as I was told, there was shooting and his car was stranded in the forest. His guards went to call for help thinking he might have escaped unknown to them, he was being held at gunpoint.
I had killed nine men this evening and it seems that man is the next. I discreetly went behind him and beheaded him from behind.
Romero's eyes met mine and my rage knew no bounds. This was the man that took everything away from me. The man that made me this evil lady today. He already had some wounds but I didn't care, in a swift motion I gave him a deep cut on is arm. Immediately, there was a pool of blood on his arm. He winced in pain and staggered back, some of his blood had stained my black outfit. I was thankful for the mask cause it made facing him easier. I then turn to leave when his voice stops me.
"Who are you?" He asks weakly. I turn with rage and slowly smirk when I see the pain he's in. "The monster you made" with that I turn and run till my legs grew weak. I reached a bridge and I had to cross it. A hand grabbed me from behind and it was one of the mean who attacked him.
"Who are you?" I rolled my eyes at the question and kicked him in the stomach. He rolled to his side but stood up and brought out his sword. I had a gun but let's play a little.
He launches forward and I Dodge it aiming for his neck. He makes a aim at my shoulder and I stumble back in pain. Enough is enough I think. In a swift motion I aim for his neck giving him a deep cut before finally digging my sword in his stomach. I then push him down the bridge I had crossed.
I limp to my car which I had packed far away and drive back home or at least to the place I called home. My real home has been snatched away.
---- now ---
Romero's POV
"How is it possible that we were attacked, how could you all be so careless?" I screamed at my men in anger, I'm on bed rest now because of these fools. I scan my room and sigh, I have no choice. My arm needs to heal. They all stood like statues, no one daring to speak or say a word. They knew the consequences, I was not done yet so they had to listen and listen carefully. I was attacked on my way back to Italy and they had no idea the attack was going to happen. I do not pay and protect them for nothing. I was almost killed and all they could do was go call for help. They had no weapons with them. How do they embark on a journey with no weapons in the freaking car.
The rain starts and the clouds darken. The light in my room is dim and my grey themed room looks calm. The curtains flicker as the cool breeze fills the room.
I drop my phone on the nightstand and stand to look at men. Twelve of them are lined up in my spacious room with their heads low in fear.
"I gave you just one simple task, drive me back to Italy and you couldn't prepare. Is twelve men not enough for a two kilometers journey?"
"we're deeply sorry sir, we did a background check but we had found nothing. The assassins just appeared..."
"enough! An excuse is just denial and ignorance. You all will be punished in accordance. Who was that young lady who had worn a ninja outfit" I asked Rio.
His lashes flickered as he anxiously turned to look at his men. When no one responded he turned back to me and answered "we do not know sir, we checked but we didn't see her. All the assassins had been killed and we even found a body under the bridge"
"Shut up, how is it that a lady escaped all of you in the middle of the night, ALONE! Get out, all of you!"
They all left my room with their heads bowed in shame. Good, who was that lady? Her eyes seem too familiar. She saved me but also injured me. The monster I made? Who was she?
I take a sit on my bed and continue pondering on the mystery girl.
"Diego" Sophia shouted as she barged into my room.
I looked up at her apple shaped face and grey eyes. Her blonde hair had been tied into a bun and she was wearing a silk nightgown.
"What are you doing here? And what did I tell you about calling me by my name or barging into my room"
"I'm sorry captain, I'm just worried about your arm" she said as she came to sit beside me on the bed. She is my supposed wife. I had never married her but my sister, Rwanda brought her here. I never really paid attention to her though, but she was like a bug, never leaving me alone.
"Keep your worries to yourself and kindly leave my room, I'm really not in the mood for your tantrums" I heard her gasp as I payed on my bed and closed my eyes.
"I am your wife captain..."
"I never married you, hell, I never even touched you. The only reason I'm dealing with you is because your father is a respectable friend of my late father. Now I once again suggest you get out of my room"
"captain, everyone calls me your wife, I've bragged to..."
"Get out Sophia! Do not let me repeat myself again! Out!"
Thankfully she listened and rushed out of my room. I stared at my room and my eyes lingered on every gold furniture and luxury my room entailed. Somewhere, deep down in me, it felt as if I was missing something up. I know I had actually married a woman before but I don't have any serious memories of her. I don't even know what she looks like. She was really insignificant.
Who was that girl? The one with the red hair. Her actions leave me confused and bewildered, how does one save a person's life then hurt that person again?
Am I to be worried?
~~~~
Unknown to him, that lady is his protector and tormentor. She will cause him tremendous pain and she will kill all his enemies.
She is Sapphire, the monster he made....
And yes, he should be worried...
