Who Could've Thought

Chapter 02: Faking Identity

Maya's pov:

I couldn't sleep the entire night and kept tossing and turning on the bed. The next morning, I jumped out of the bed and went to take a shower.

"I can do this. Maya Lion nunca se rinde." I murmured to myself while placing my palms on the marble wall in front of me. "I have been training for this for so long and I can't lose hope now. Mama and Papa, te haré sentir orgullosa " I added while wiping a little tear off my face.

I came out all fresh and got dressed. I wore an oversized t-shirt with some baggy jeans and Jordan's on my feet. I put my hair up with the help of a claw clip, did minimal makeup and took my bags downstairs.

"Did you get everything?" Raven asked while taking my suitcase from my hand and putting it down. "For someone going on a mission you're dressed pretty chill" he added "Not that it looks bad though" he joked.

"Did you expect me to wear a fucking spy costume and carry guns in my hand to show the whole world that I'm going on a mission?" I commented while facepalming at Raven's dumb remark.

"Point. " "Anyways, the jet's ready so go talk to the team, I'll take your stuff to the jet." Raven added as he took my bags.

"Did you take your earpiece and tracker?" he asked.

"Yes mom I did now can you stop with the questions, oof! I'll go talk to the team"

"Boss, do you remember all the steps of the plan?" Alucard asked.

Alucard Valentino, brunette, black eyed, another fucking manwhore and one of the best snipers out there. My other best friend. He has helped me in perfecting my shooting skills and has been with me alongside Raven.

"Yes Al, I remember everything. I'll call once I land."

Twenty minutes later I finally boarded my flight and was on my way to execute the first step of the plan.

Right as I landed, a black car was waiting for me. I hopped in and I started my journey.

So, what's your alias? asked the chauffeur.

"Maya Hart. 20-year-old businesswoman, CEO of Carlo Inc." I replied. "I'm friends with the CEO and he agreed on replacing his name with mine in the database as the new CEO for Moretti to cross-check from."

"What's your name?" I asked.

"Ryan Castillo" he answered.

"Can you tell me anything extra about Xalio, like personality-wise?"

"Well, he is known for his charm and the way he gets any woman he wants. Everybody fears him and no one has ever had the guts to stand up to him."

"Of course" I scoffed.

This man was trouble and I knew it damn well. An egoistic jerk who thinks he's better than everyone else. Amazing just amazing.

"He is given the title of being the most soulless mob boss" he added.

"I swear all these mafia men in their mid- 20s are exactly the same." I rolled my eyes.

"Tell me about it" he laughed.

"Believe it or not Raven has told me a lot about you Maya"

"He has probably insulted me so much hasn't he?"

"Quite the opposite actually. He praised you a lot."

"Really? Raven? Praised me?"

"Yeah, he said that you are such a strong woman and that he loves you so much... don't tell him I told you though" he chuckled.

I let out a soft laugh.

"Now, let's review..." he said.

We reviewed our plan on how we'd approach Xalio, how we'd convince him and all that.

Ryan was actually a very nice guy. He was wise, had a good sense of humour and knew his ethics well.

"Is your team working on the sidelines?" he asked.

"Yes, they are. They are in on locating Ian and his gang. Their hideouts and warehouses, everything is to be found and destroyed." I replied.

"That's good because I've heard that Moretti was looking for Ian as well but he stopped chasing him after a while."

"Why so?" I asked.

"I don't know really. Something to do with his sudden disappearance I guess"

"Oh that makes sense yeah"

"Alright just a few more minutes and we'll reach your place."

I looked out of the window at the buildings, skyscrapers and the people on the road. I sometimes just wonder how someone might be dying somewhere in this world as I'm sitting here right now. How someone must be being born into this world at this very moment.

Life has always been amusing to me. How some people get gifts from life and I just keep getting slapped in the face. Every time I've cared for someone I've lost them. I am not letting that happen again. EVER.

"We're here." he said.

I snapped back into reality.

"Are you sure you're thorough with the plan?"

"Yes, Ryan I'm a hundred per cent sure. I can do this."

"Good, we're here." Ryan asked while pulling up near my new house.

"There's no turning back now." I replied as I got out of the car.

"If you need anything, I'm just a phone call away." he said.

I thanked him and he left rather quickly so no one could spot us.

The mansion was HUGE. It was everything I liked in a house. Modern, black body and a beautiful front yard.

"I guess this is my new life now."

"Xalio Moretti, here I come." I sighed while looking at the beautiful black exterior house. "La mierda está a punto de volverse real"I smirked.
