Serena's most standard habit is, shopping right after her mission payment. She never missed that, never, since her first kill, her first payment.
It's like her own special therapy or like a ritual?
"I will have that too" She pointed at a black leather mini-skirt.
"Okay ma'am" The attendant following her said.
She decided to come to a more expensive and classic shopping mall today actually and here she is.
Serena walked with her arms crossed under her boobs while her eyes rolled through the whole place, searching for her tastes, her boots sounds on the floor was fucking pleasing.
"Can I check out some panties? Red...." Serena turned back and blinked when she saw the space empty, the attendant wasn't there anymore.
She frowned and was about speaking up when a strange but fine shit appeared before her, with a smile playing on his lips.
"Hi...pretty" He said, walking closer to her as he talked.
"Hi" Serena muttered and returned to checking out what to pick, as expected the guy followed right behind her.
"I'm Kennedy, and you?" He asked.
"I don't want to tell you" Serena said without glancing at him.
"Then, I will call you princess. Cool?" Kennedy asked and she faced him.
"Sounds like something you call dumb girls you wanna get under their skirts" Serena said and Kennedy chuckled.
"Then tell me your name"
"No, and don't bother me again" She rolled her eyes and walked out of his sight.
She found the attendant waiting at the entrance, of course the Kennedy of a guy must have told her to give him some silly privacy. She immediately apologized and Serena took her stuffs from her before walking to where she would pay.
The whole thing was calculated.
"500 dollars ma'am"
Serena pulled out her card and almost handed to her but someone was faster.
Serena frowned and turned to see Kennedy.
She glared but he only returned it with a soft smile, Serena scoffed and walked out but she waited for him outside and a minute later, Kennedy came out too.
"You waited" he smiled.
"Your smile is actually annoying, are you aware of that?" Serena asked.
"Annoying? Definitely my first time hearing this, my smile heals" he winked.
Serena scoffed.
Almost cursing herself, here's a nice guy at least, but why does she think of that cold jerk called Wolfe even at this moment?
"Tell me your name" Kennedy demanded.
"Serena" She muttered.
Kennedy smiled.
"Thanks" He said.
Serena smiled inwardly, He's such a gentleman and no, he's not her type, she hates that innocent smile playing on his face.
He looks like the type who would break as soon as she shows him her real color. Someone like Wolfe? Wouldn't break easily.
That's the extent her life got messed up to...yeah...that level. She doesn't deserve someone innocent, she doesn't deserve someone who would treat her like a princess she's not. She deserve toxicity, some crazy psycho who would choke her, hurt her, like she's a doll, someone who would kiss her and make her breathless, fuck her like crazy and make her cry, but still make her even more horny yeah that kind of love.
To her, that's what she deserves for killing people cruelly, without remorse.
Not this cute angel.
"Can I have your...."
"No" Serena cut him off.
She opened her car and brought out some cash, she completed the 500 dollars and opened his palm.
"Thanks" She closed his palm on the money and entered her car.
She stared at Kennedy through her glass, he actually stood there, staring at her till they both couldn't see each other again.
"I don't deserve anything good....never" She mumbled almost chokily that tears forced their ways out of her eyes.
••••••••
Kayden opened the canned drink he came to take in the kitchen and sipped a little from it, he leaned against the counter staring at nothing in particular.
It's past 9pm and still he doesn't feel like sleeping, his thoughts got interrupted by the sound of the door bell.
The 'ding dong' came faster the second time that he was forced to drop his drink and walk out of the kitchen.
He wasn't expecting anyone, so who is it by this time of the night?
He opened the door as soon as he was there, his brows raised, seeing no one else but Magnolia standing there with a little smile.
"Hey"
Kayden moved from the door so she came in, he faced her after closing the door.
"Let's eat dinner together" Magnolia said, already setting the living room table.
"Why would you come here for dinner? What happened to your house?" Kayden asked.
Magnolia ignored him and continue setting the table with everything she bought.
"Answer me" Kayden grabbed her wrist then made her face him.
"Did something happened?" He asked.
Magnolia gulped, staring at him and looking almost lost.
How is she suppose to tell him that she got up from her bed and found herself running here because she was missing the heck out of him ??
"I just...couldn't eat alone so...I…came here" she muttered.
"Sit down and eat then, I will drive you home after. You should have called me, it's not safe driving around Mag, how many times do I have to tell you that?"
Magnolia smiled.
"I missed your nagging, can you not go on breaks anymore? And well, the single will release this week and I'm sure my schedules will become tight again" She sat down.
"You love working me to death don't you?" Kayden sat down.
"Here...eat up. I got your favorite meat" She said, pushing the bowl closer to him.
"Stop treating me like you're older than me, I am older" Kayden Saud and Magnolia scoffed.
"You're so petty, I told you I want you as my teddy bear" she smirked.
"Just teddy bear?" Kayden asked and Magnolia gulped.
She immediately looked at him and saw that he just said that nonchalantly, he didn't even look at her and care about what he just said and she was there almost telling him "no"
She wants more...not just as teddy bear. She wants to eat him up....
"Eat up Mag" Kayden's voice brought her back to reality.
Fuck.
She bit her lip and continue eating in silence with him.
•••••••
Serena exhaled as she finished wearing her clothes, just a piece of crop top and short.
This is the second day since Wolfe left and he's still not back? According to the schedule, he was supposed to use just few hours in Florence and return to Chicago, so why is he not back?
She was still there when a sound of knock came on her door and without waiting she walked over to open up.
"Mr. Hayes just got back" The maid announced to her.
"Oh...thank you. Did he asked for me?" Serena asked curiously.
"No ma'am I just came to inform you"
"Thanks" Serena mumbled and watched the maid walk away.
She returned to her room and closed the door.
Why wasn't he asking for her??
She decided to wait for some minutes.
But even after ten minutes passed, nothing came.
"Cold jerk" She scoffed and stormed out of her room, but not without locking of course.
She arrived in Wolfe's suite in no time and entered, it's barely two days and she already missed the sight of this suite.
Wolfe wasn't in the living room so she had to go into the bedroom and there she met him, sitting on a couch, his legs crossed while blowing smoke like God of fire.
So his blunt is more important??
"Welcome...sir" She bowed shortly and stood properly again.
Wolfe finally looked at her, their eyes met and she could see the coldness in his stare which made her almost nervous.
"Were you home all through? Since I left" He threw the question first.
Serena blinked.
Asking that question only means one thing, he already knew she went out so no lies.
"No" She muttered.
Wolfe scoffed.
"I went shopping" Serena spoke up again.
"You were in pain...."
"That was the first day...."
"Shut the fucking crap!" Wolfe growled and Serena flinched that she shifted back immediately.
Her eyes widened also.
Wolfe sighed and roughed his hair as if to calm himself.
"Fucking hell...can you ever do without lying?" He asked, calmly this time around.
He dropped the blunt in the ash tray and stood up, Serena moved back but he grabbed her roughly by the wrist and pulled her close.
She gasped.
"Tell me....you made that shit up right? There was no fucking period, you just made it up" he said, glaring into her eyes.
"I didn't...it wasn't made up! What do you even know? Are you a girl?!" She shouted and pushed him off before shooting him a glare.
Wolfe nodded.
"How many days do you usually bleed? "He asked. Bluntly.
"Four days...why?" Serena frowned.
"Take off your darn pant and show me the blood" Wolfe muttered and Serena's eyes went wide, in shock.
"Hu...huh?"
"Take it off brat, and don't make me repeat myself" Wolfe said icely.
Serena almost went numb, he just fucking confirmed everything.
He's a fucking psycho man...a gone one.
She watched him sit on the couch again, like he was controlling her with his eyes as they settled on her.
And then her hands moved, she took off her short first.
Then her pant.....
