Billionaire Assassin

MOVING AWAY:

“She won’t remember Hades and ask Demon to hurry up and kill the princess, do not let him know she is the last one.” The lady’s voice was heard again.

“I am not a fool to tell him.” Hades said almost angrily.

“I know that Hades, I am just saying that you shoul-”

“That’s enough!” Hades yelled at the woman. “Leave my presence right now.” He ordered. The lady left.

ERAS KINGDOM:

Elena was seen packing her clothes inside a bag that belongs to her.

Why can’t she stay and fight the assassin? She thought.

A knock sounded on her door breaking off her thoughts.

“I am almost done.” She shouted to whoever was behind the door and she heard the retreating feet of the person.

Taking a deep breath she took a look at her room for the last time, carried her bag, opened the door and walked towards the living room.

She stopped at a huge portrait of her late mother. For some reasons, her face was hidden. Her mother’s face was facing the other side of the wall and her purple long hair was facing the camera.

Strange isn’t it? And that was the only picture she took with her father before her sudden disappearance. She had often asked her father the whereabouts of her mother which he always replied: “Elena, the time has not yet come for you to know who your mother is. You will get to know her but not now. Even though she is not here with us, know that she is always watching over you and me.”

That’s it. Her father forbids her from speaking of her mother.

The only thing she got from her mother was the diamond purple necklace in her neck which has a locket that was locked.

The locket has a key but no one, not even her father, knows where the key is.

Eva was her step sister. Her father got married to her mother who died at childbirth. Although they were not of the same mother, they acted like one mother gave birth to them.

She heard voices outside and followed it.

Opening the door that leads to the compound, she saw her sister talking with her father beside the SUV Jeep that will take them to where their private jet is. They both glance up to stare at her as she walks towards their direction.

The driver collected the box from Elena and placed it in the car booth before going to sit down inside the Jeep waiting for the Princesses.

“Are you sure this is all you will want?” King Eras asked his daughter with a raised brow.

“Yes father, I packed whatever I needed and if I need anything else I will buy it and won’t disturb you.” Elena answered her father with a sigh.

“Okay, my dear, suit yourself but do not forget to call me when you are out of cash.” King Eras reminded.

“I will father.” Elena said hugging him tightly. Eva hugged him also when it got to her turn.

“Don’t forget to hide your identities for now until the culprit is caught. Once my plan works I will send for the both of you back and you will live your normal life again. Elena I trust you will look after your younger sister from now henceforth and Eva, try to listen to your elder sister and look after her too.” King Eras told his two beautiful daughters. “Safe journey, call me once you get to your aunt’s house. And one more thing, be nice to her.” He added.

“Okay father. Take care.” Both girls said the same thing at the same time. Eva went to the other side of the car, opened it and entered, once she was sitting comfy, she jammed the door.

Elena wanted to open the other side of the car which she and her father was, when his hands stopped her.

“I know you don’t like this arrangement my dear but I need you safe. We don’t know who the next target is and that is why I want you far away from this kingdom where no one will suspect you are royalty.”

“I understand father and I am not angry at your decisions. We have to go, see you when we meet again.” Elena said, opening the door and going in. The girls wave their father goodbyes as the car sped out of the compound to the jet.

Thirty minutes later, the girls were inside a white private jet which was sent to go.

Soon enough the jet hit the sky.

Goodbye Eras.

Elena thought looking through the window as her kingdom grew smaller and smaller until she couldn’t see it again.

****

Demon plane landed in Eras, he took a cab and told the driver which hotel to take him too. He had browsed about the Kingdom and everything in it so he wouldn’t act like a novice.

Paying the cab and collecting his luggage. He entered the cheapest hotel in Eras Kingdom, he had also browsed about that. He doesn’t love showing people how rich he is.

Ignoring the looks sent in his direction, Demon walked straight to the receptionist and booked a room.

“How many days sir?” The receptionist asked, winking at him.

“Two days, today and tomorrow.” Demon answered smiling at the lady who gave him the key to the vacant room.

Saying his thanks, he left the receptionist who stared at his back lustfully.

Entering his hotel room he began preparing for tonight.

****

Stepping out of the Jet, a cab was already waiting for them which had been arranged by their father.

They were in Paris.

Paris the City Of Love. Elena thought.

Entering the cab, the car drove off towards a direction.

One hour later, the cab pulled up to a small bungalow.

A ugly looking bungalow.

Coming down from the car, the driver went to knock on the door which was opened immediately by an elderly woman who is between the age of 55 to 60 but if you stare at her well you will think she is younger than that.

Thanking the cab driver, she faces the two girls and beckons them to come. Going to meet her as the cab driver took out their luggage.

“You must be Elena and Eva right?” The elderly woman asked pointing at them correctly as she called out their names respectively.

Elena and Eva both nodded their head and the old lady smiled.

“I have been expecting you both since. Take your bags from the man and come inside with me.” She told them and entered her house without waiting for a reply.

“I hope she isn’t the rude type.” Eva muttered as she and Elena collected their bags from the driver, saying their thanks. They went in shutting the door behind them.

The house surprisingly looks clean and new on the inside. Elena and Eva were surprised.

“I was still cleaning the two empty rooms I have and am still not through, drop your bags on the floor where you stand and come and join hands in cleaning the rooms.” The elderly woman said to them. “My name is Jess but you can call me auntie since I am your distant auntie anyway.” She added and waited for them to drop their bags before leading them to the rooms. “You clean up from where I stop while I go and inform your father you have reached.”

For the rest of the day till it became dark, Elena and Eva scrub and clean the rooms. Once they’re done, they went back to the sitting room and collected their bags both entering the rooms they’d chosen for themselves respectively.

The house was oddly quiet and they didn’t see any sign of their auntie.

Collapsing on her bed, Elena slept off. She was very weak and tried to take her bath and change her clothes into her night clothes.

*****

The time was 11 when shadows were seen coming out from a window in a hotel and was moving fast to the house of the next victim.

Entering the palace was easy, too easy he must say as the shadows made their way inside the palace. The Shadows entered through a window and Demon stepped out of the shadows with his long sword and walked towards the bed.

The youngest Princess was foolish enough to describe the palace in one of her posts and also describe where her elder sister chamber was located.Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.

Seeing the sleeping girl in the bed, he felt this wasn’t the princess he was looking for. And this isn’t the youngest Princess, he knows how Eva looks. He hasn’t seen the picture of Elena so technically the girl sleeping on the bed is Princess Elena. But again, those feelings of wrongness came again.

He pushed those thoughts out of his mind and focused on the matter at hand.

Kill the Princess.

Were his thought and he raised his sword up and brought it down to strike.

Another sword intervened and pushed the sword out of the sleeping person’s face.

The one pretending to sleep stood up from the bed and brought out her long sword she kept under the bed.

“We caught you assassin.” The one who had blocked his sword said.

Demon stared at their fighting stance and knew they were highly trained Ninja’s.

“Where is the Princess?” He demanded.

Good thing they were Ninja’s, it has been long he fought.
