♡♡THE DEADLY DUO♡♡

Part 12 (Ajax Di Lucca)

~Ajax~
"Sabrina" I called out for the fifth time. It's time for the gala and she's wasting a hell lot of time. I checked my phone for any messages from Lady Shiva..nothing. I f she just took my money and ran away then she's dead meat.

I heard the click of heels from the stairs and turned to see Sabrina walking down the stairs in her white gown and her mask in her hand. She looked okay.

"You wasted 40 minutes for this?" I said with scrutiny. She rolled her eyes and walked past me "a lady's gotta look her best for an event"

I followed behind her releasing a small exhale. Bill already got the car ready. We entered and he drove off.

We soon got to the venue. It was massive. Decorated to the best of the best. Had golden chandeliers all round illuminating the place more. Rows of cars were parked outside.

I turned to Sabrina who looked at the place in awe. "Hey" I called her attention. She turned and faced me." Stick with me once we enter there. Don't ever wander. If anything happens to you, it's on you"

"Wow. Ajax, you truly care for me" she said with sarcasm. We wore our masks at the same time. Bill got down and opened the door for me, I got down giving him a nod of thanks.

I walked up to Sabrina's side and opened the door giving her a hand in coming out. I shut the door and interlaced her arms.

We started walking towards the entrance where two bodyguards stood checking the guest list. They gave us a nod to go in.

We stepped into the place. Yup it was decorated greatly. Various people drank and talked amongst themselves.

A waiter stopped in front of us with a tray of drinks. I declined while Sabrina took one. I downed her with a look. "What?" She asked as she took a sip of her drink.

"Well, well, well. Look who it is" I recognize that voice anywhere. I rolled my eyes and turned to Klutz Chen. A drug lord.

I put on a fake smile. "Glad to see you in one shape Klutz." His smile dropped a little.

"Let bygones be bygones Lucca. Stop dwelling in the past." His eyes shifted to my side.

"Wow. Ajax with a date. Never thought I'll see the day." He said with a shake of head. Before I could answer him everywhere quietened down.

A man said with a microphone "Let's welcome our guest of honor: Lady Shiva". Everyone parted like the red sea. I turned to see a woman standing there, at the entrance in a red gown.

A red mask, a red gown, red everywhere and somehow it fits just right. She walked with confidence. Head up, back straightened. She walked up to the stage to a chair made for her. She sat down on it and looked at everyone.

Soon the party commenced. "Ajax!" Jean shouted and laughed. "Jean" I said too and we hugged. "Welcome. Who's the beauty with the beast?"

I laughed. "Meet my date Sabrina" "oh how lovely" he said bringing out a hand to shake Sabrina. She took his hand and shook it.

"Jean Rashford. Party planner." He introduced himself. She smiled "Sabrina Mikel. Ajax's Date." He nodded.

"Well I hope you are prepared for today's event." He said with a glint in his eye. She smiled wrly.

He walked away to the stage. Taking hold of the mic. "Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Castello Sforzesco." He said smiling.

"Lady Shiva. It's an honor to have you here." She nodded as a reply. He continued " Ladies and gentlemen. Today's game is gonna be a twisted game." He said with a grin. Everyone visibly gulped.

Who knew what stupid idea Jean had in store for us. "Today's game is all about the women." Sabrina held my hand tightly. "A list of names have been compiled for today's activity."

A woman walked up the stage with a paper handing it to Jean. "We have up to 5 names on the list. We have Christian Dean, Ajax Di Lucca, Luis Diego, Anthony Cassio, and Ben Mike."

Slick bastard. I knew he would mention my name. I looked at Lady Shiva who just sat looking bored. "Please step out with your dates." Jean said again.

Five men and five women stepped out. One thing I noticed. All these men are the most feared men in the underworld.

"Climb up the stage." We all did as Jean said. Sabrina had a death grip on my arm. I looked at her. "Relax." I whispered to her. "I don't know if I can do this." She whimpered . " Yes you can. It's just a game." I ensured her.

Jean smiled when he saw ten of us on stage. "Today's game is one of pain tolerance." All the women took a step back out of instinct. Jean laughed. "Don't worry damsels, I made it less painful."

"One of the chosen women would sit on that chair right there" he pointed to the chair behind him. "And, a set of tools would be handed to the men. Pick one and use it on your date." Everyone cheered.

The chosen women gulped. And his behind their dates. Sabrina went behind me and I swear she was shaking.

Jean raised a hand to silence the crowd. "However. If your date cries or shows any sign of pain, Lady Shiva here, would kill her."

All the men paled. I knew Jean was sick but not this sick. "Let the games begin"

"Ben Mike?" Jean called his name with a glint in his eye. He walked forward with his date who was shivering like a leaf. She wore a blue ball gown apparently.

We all watched as she sat on the chair looking at Ben with pleading eyes. A set of tools was shown to him. A gun, a blowtorch, a scalpel, a knife, and so many others.

Ben picked the scalpel. His date visibly flinched at the sight of it. Tears were forming in her eyes. I looked at Lady Shiva. She seems to enjoy the show.

I looked at Ben who has already walked up to his date. Her eyes clicked between the scalpel and Ben.

Without a second thought, he drove it into her shoulder. She screamed out loud. Everyone cheered on. This is sick. "I think I'm gonna be sick" Sabrina said in fear.

I patted her hand. And looked at Ben's date. "Oh no. That's bad. Lady Shiva?" Jean called out. She looked at Jean and stood up.

She walked up to Ben and his date. She typed on her phone. And showed it to Ben's date. Who paled at the sight of whatever she saw.

She shook her head "Ben! You can't let her kill me! Ben please!" She screamed when Lady Shiva walked up to the table and picked up the blowtorch.

"Ben!!" Ben's Date screamed again and tried to run but Shiva already stood in front of her. She turned on the blow torch. "Please, I'll do whatever you want just don't kill me" Ben's date begged.

Ben stood and watched in horror. Shiva set the blow torch on Ben's date face till we smelt burning flesh. Ben frowned and left the building.

Lady Shiva dropped the blowtorch on the ground and went to her chair like she hadn't killed someone just know.

Oh God. This is gonna be a long night.
