Who Could've Thought

Chapter 35: Scar

Maya's pov:

"Okay all of you, I've called you here because I have a plan." I announced. "But before that let me tell you about Scar."

"Scar and papa were partners, they handled shipments together and they were friends.

One day, papa found out that a million dollars had been stolen from us by Scar and his team and they had run away to hide from papa.

Well, papa found them and while he was out to get his money back, he killed ten of his members on the way and stole back the million dollars.

Since then, Scar and papa had been in a rivalry. When Scar got to know that when mama and papa died, I survived, he knew I'd take on the legacy." I sighed.

"So that means that he used Xalio to make you vulnerable so that he can kill you?" Marco asked.

"Yes, Xalio is dead because of me. I will avenge his death...even if I have to blow the whole city up."

"Stop blaming yourself for the love of god!" Jane yelled.

"They're right M, none of this is your fault." Marco assured.

"We're here with you, every step of the way." Riley said.

"Look, he will now want me to be alone somewhere and..."

Alucard suddenly cut in as I was explaining.

"And that place would be the graveyard." he said.

"Exactly. He'll look for an opportunity and attack." I said in agreement with Alucard's assumption.

"We go to the graveyard tomorrow. This is what we're gonna do..." I narrated the plan to them.

[At Scar's]

"Boss, they're taking Xalio to the graveyard tomorrow."

"Good. We're going to wait for Maya to be alone and we will not start attacking immediately, I want to have a little talk with her first." Scar smirked. "Go tell the team to prepare everything. We end her tomorrow"

Maya's pov:

"Betrayal doesn't
only break your
heart but also
darkens your soul.
You'll never forget
the pain like a fog
that forever
lingers in the
depths of your mind."

Xalio made me feel safe. He was my happy place. I'm just sitting here, thinking about how I used to think that this mission was the worst thing in the world but who could've thought that this would turn out to be the best thing that ever happened to me.

Scar made a big mistake and I'm going to make him regret every breath he has ever taken.

I walked downstairs and called the team. "Gemma, Lorenzo, go keep an eye on Scar and his team and keep me updated. "Al and Rav get all the weapons ready for tomorrow."

"And guys listen, nobody will attack before my signal alright? I want everything to be perfect tomorrow." I instructed.

"Of course boss." Jane obeyed.

"Tomorrow, we end this once and for all."

[The next morning]

The sun poured through my window. Another day had dawned. I rubbed my bleary eyes and walked to the window. There was a pearly glow in the sky.

All signs of a perfect day but I didn't have Xalio to share this day with. It still felt gloomy.

I took a shower and changed into a fresh set of clothes. I went downstairs to grab a cup of coffee.

"When are we going?" Luna asked.

"In a few hours" I sipped up my coffee. "Gemma, Lorenzo, what did you find about Scar?"

"Boss, we were right about their plan. They're planning an attack on you when we go to the graveyard."

"Predictable motherfuckers." I scoffed.

"You all know what to do. Prepare everything c'mon!" I commanded.

"On it!" they nodded in unison.

After a lot of preparations, it was soon evening and time for destruction.

"Is everyone and everything ready?" I asked.

"Yes, boss." Lorenzo assured.

I signalled everyone to get into their respective vehicles.

After a few minutes of driving, we reached the graveyard.

I commanded everyone to take their respective positions. Jacob and Elijah were connected to us via earpieces and I had asked them to warn us once Scar was here.

"In the loving memory of Xalio Moretti ." The tombstone read. I heard a crack in my chest as I read it.

Everyone dropped a rose in front of the tombstone.

After a few minutes, everyone went back but I stood there.

"Maya, you sure this will work?" Elijah spoke from the earpiece.

"I'm sure El."

"Well, you better be because they're here." he warned.

After a while, everyone gave me a heads up that they were in position. I soon heard a peal of deep laughter from behind me. As I turned, I saw the face I hadn't seen in years. Scar. My blood began to boil.

"Maya Stefan Lion." he scoffed. "How are you doing kiddo?"

"I'm doing amazing Scar, what about you? and don't call me that." I smiled in order to hide my disgust.

"Never been better actually. I'm sorry about Xalio, I know how much he meant to you."

"Yeah, that's why you killed him, you piece of shit!" I yelled. "You're still the same lying bitch."

"I never lied kiddo."

"You betrayed papa and for what? a little bit of money?" I sneered.

"It wasn't a little bit Maya, it was a million dollars."

"You greedy son of a bitch! Papa trusted you. You didn't even think twice before betraying him!"

"And your papa? He stole from me too and killed five of my men don't forget that!"

"It was his money to begin with, you idiot!" I barked.

"You know what forget it." I changed the topic. "Why did you bring Xalio into this? How dare you touch him!"

"I didn't just touch him, darling... I killed him" He laughed with pride in his voice.

"That's where you're wrong darling.." I smirked.
