..."She is beauty and she is grace, her skin so flawless like smooth porcelain, eyes that shine like twinkling stars, hair that flows endlessly with its natural curled waves and angelic shade that project innocence, lips red as the ripest red apple but heart cold as the chilly December night. Her body is a weapon for the lustful prey, voice that soothes and seduces calming you down until you let your guard down and she strikes with a kiss that seals your death. Trapped inside a watery cage, Belladonna is your beautiful nightmare."...

...****************...

...Who am I? I am Belladonna, saved by the scientist named Dr. Xenon, a man of pure ambition and hard hitting logic, he aims to prove that a human beings can use their body as a weapon, from head to toe. The body is coated with poison and like a Venus flytrap, the prey that unsuspectingly lands is ensnared and left for dead....

"Belladonna, get up, you have an assignment." The mechanical voice spoke from within my watery cage. His voice is always so cold and emotionless combined with his rigid posture, I always thought he had something shoved up his ***. My amethyst gaze landed on the person infront of my prison, my eyes grew accustomed to the poison water and so did the rest of my body. Being stuck 24/7 inside this hell was painful at first but as time passed... So did the fiery pain that used to burn my eyes, it used make my skin feel like it's about to combust and shaken my loyalty to the person who saved me.

His usual blank look stared back, my ***** body displayed for him but I knew he didn't care because he grew immune to my sex appeal. I saw his usual slicked back dark red hair was disheveled, his posture much more stressed than before and lips pressed into a thin line. I sighed within the oxygen mask around my face, this mask didn't let me breathe normal air but poison like the water that I am soaked in.

He was always a perfectionist and wanted nothing more than the best, my gratitude is always shown to him in every way and in any way. I struggled with all the poisons entering my body, the sheer pain. The starvation I went through, my food is always poisoned that lead me to puke but soon like always, I grew accustomed to it. The air I breathe is poison, my body is laced with a toxic laced dress, beautiful yet when touched, death follows just for this person.

He pressed the button that drained started draining the poison water, my body that was afloat started to lower to the cold hard floor of my cage. My body felt weak standing became hard because I felt like I have vertigo so I leaned on the wall, my head ached so bad that I removed the mask the venomous air filtered my cage creating a fog inside. 'I must not show weakness.' I chanted like a prayer, Xenon would disapprove and that's the last thing I need. As the cage opened and the poisonous air expelled from its confinement, I tried not to shake as I walked outside.

It was always cold in the lab, the moment my cold wet body exited, I felt immobilized by the cool temperature. My body may be immune to poisons but when it comes to the natural elements, I have yet to master the immunity. "There's a towel on the desk and a shirt and slippers, dry yourself up and go to the briefing room to receive your assignment." He said in a snappish manner and when he turned his back to exit, I rolled my eyes and mumbled a few incoherent words, doing what I was told without a second thought, his words were orders and I will do what he says, it's how I show my absolute loyalty to him.

Ignoring the lecherous howls and catcalls from the men as I passed by, they know not to touch me or it will be there death. I smirked slightly knowing my advantage in this pandemonium, they can only observe and lust from afar but can never have for it is forbidden. As I entered the room, I bowed to the head of the organization, Simoné was the name given to him but I highly doubt it is his real name. "A job well done, Bella. Our client was deeply impressed on how you managed to eliminate the target so quickly and efficiently that he doubled his payment and became our supporter." I kept my head down and masked my expression, despite the conflict of emotions within me.

"I was given an assignment, to kill with haste but leave no evidence behind and plant the factitious documents in a subtle area. Orders are meant to be followed and accomplished without a flaw." I said in a low tone almost seductive but its how I usually speak, low and throaty, seductive at best that lowers my enemy's guard. "If only my subordinates have your unwavering loyalty, I wouldn't be always on guard." His emerald eyes gleamed in mischievous way that a voice inside my head screamed 'DANGER' but I pushed it away, this man funds Dr. Xenon's projects after all so I can't do anything to compromise the situation.

"The Doc sleeps soundly knowing his prized weapon protects him, oh how I envy you for having this beauty, Xenon." Dr. Xenon looked at Simoné with a piercing look almost a glare pushing his black spectacles with his middle finger and clearing his throat, he launched an explanation. "Belladonna is kept inside a chamber that is filled with earth's deadliest poisons and breathes the most lethal of gasses, her body needs to be constantly coated and her insides filtered with poison because if not, her own poison will kill her." Simoné looked at me impressed and his lips curled into a cat like smile of satisfaction and slid a folder to me.

"The target is Lionel Carter, one of the anti-supporters of our dear project, give him a lovely hello, Bella." His eyes darkened as he looked at me with the almost demonic stare. "He is well guarded at the Lotus Hotel in Las Vegas, our last spy was caught and killed himself before he could be tortured for information." He sneered and slammed his fist on the metal table while I nodded, failure isn't an option.

"I will not disappoint you and I will make sure to retrieve the information and kill the target." I said without missing a beat, my answer made him relaxed and smiled sinisterly that made my skin crawl in a terrified manner.

..."Make sure you do and don't die, like I said... It's so hard to find subordinates with unwavering loyalty."...

...****************...

Dr. Xenon and I walked back to the lab with no other words said, this mission is crucial and with a threat hanging above my head and my saviour, the pressure seemed to escalate as each step we take was similar to a slow death march. The doors hissed as we both entered, lights opened automatically and experiments continued to work. "This target has killed off three of our best spies, do you understand the pressure Simoné is putting on you?" His voice was was tight holding back what seems like anger but managed to pull an emotionless act that I saw through.

I nodded knowingly. "I know and I know of the consequences that will befall on both of us if I fail, with all my years serving this organization, I have never failed any mission given to me. This is not the first nor the last." I said dutifully as I headed to a certain part in the lab where my attire was kept. "I do not understand why you are so loyal to the organization?" His question made me pause in midstep, he questions my loyalty... I held back my tongue that is about to lash the unspeakable, he may be a genius but he can be incredibly blind and dense.

Sighing quietly to myself, I entered the made up walk in closet, picking a strapless lacey purple bra with matching underwear. Oh how I enjoy the feeling of being clothe, it makes me feel protected and secured. "You already know the answer, Sir." I replied, feeling his presences from behind, I do not dare to look for I feel his piercing stare. Plucking an elegant strapless tulle and lace evening gown with two-tone bead and lace appliques, elegant formal gown is finished with a trumpet skirt. I placed it to the side and got a pair of silver stilettos and diamond earrings, I looked over it and nodded.

"Your gratitude to me and the loyalty is commendable but how long will it stay that way?" I turned around abruptly, my amethyst eyes bored holes into his cerulean stare. "It will remain until the day I breathe my last on this hellish earth, the day you found me, I gave everything to you. My body and my mind." I said coolly with an unwavering tone that he narrowed his eyes at me. "Normally, I would take that answer but you never mentioned you heart." He pointed out, my gaze still locked on his, no sound or movement was made. It felt like hours passed but in reality on a minute has gone by, chuckling bitterly.

"I am sorry, Sir but my heart has no master for the owner of my heart is only me. You have drilled in my head that I can never be loved for my touch and kisses are poison and deadly, you have told me that my heart should not have love for it will only hinder my thinking and lastly, you told me... Love is the most deadliest poison that will kill the most powerful men and even it will kill me if I shall love someone, do you contradict what you said to me all those years before when I said my heart has no master?" I asked and his eyes darkened, his glare pierced me as if he was unraveling my words to see if I was lying or not.

"Belladonna, I do not contradict to what I said for I merely asked where your heart lies and if that is your answer then I will not question you further." He said icily and turned back with missing a step, I heard the doors hissed outside and knew he left. Releasing the breath I was unintentionally holding, my body quivered in fright knowing Dr. Xenon never shows his emotions out in the open, his eyes were dark and drowning me in a gaze of anger when I said his words at him. His posture was pure Alpha, dominant and I could've sworn I heard him growl, I shook away the thoughts of his angry dominant figure and focused on my mission.

...Despite our somewhat disagreeable banter, I continued with my mission and pushing him back at the very end of my mind. Emotions are not needed and thoughts of the past are not required, think of the present and how to finish the task at hand....

To Be Continued.

Don't hesitate.

That's the number one rule drilled into me as I began my journey from a no named orphan to becoming one of the top agents of the company but that doesn't always guarantee me safety because being number one has a price and that price comes with enemies that would try and topple me over and to slander Dr. Xenon.

Failure is not an option.

...****************...

The platinum-haired woman mentally sighed, thankfully the company was not far from the target's location because she wouldn't have that much patience for a plane ride due to her interaction with the good doctor, it left her in a bit of turmoil due to how it was different from the previous interactions.

"Agent Belladonna, we have arrived." The mechanical voice spoke from the speakers. "The target is located in the casino lobby and rumored to be a notorious Cassanova but he always has his guard up and from what our sources state, his eye contacts are the top of the human facial recognition." She crossed her legs and remained impassive as the information was relayed.

"So the target brought some toys, how interesting... Assuming that this was foresighted then?" She questioned and there was a mechanical whirr as something emerged from the seat in front of her. "In the case, Dr. Xenon has created a ring that will counter the target's sophisticated system of trying to find out your real identity and your identity for the evening is a Letica Annalise Roy, the spoiled daughter of the on the rise businessman Andrew Roy. The standard disguise bracelet has already been adjusted to Letica's hair and eye color." Belladonna adjusted the numerous technology she has to a comfortable setting.

She adjusted the choker around her neck and paused, this piece of technology was what filtered the poison in her body and maintains the nanites that ensure the poison stays in her body, it periodically injects the antidote that keeps the poison from reaching the critical state.

It was crucial because if she becomes a liability or if she had outlived her usefulness then this collar on her neck is a reminder that she was disposable to the company.

"Are there any specifics on how they want the target to be eliminated?" She asked and put on the bracelet that enabled her disguise, her platinum hair turned to a head turning blonde shade and her amethyst eyes turned to an amber shade which gave a bit of a Bambi look. "How you dispose of the target is up to you as long as the result stays the same." Belladonna didn't ask for any further questions and giving herself one last check up before leaving the vehicle.

...****************...

It was difficult.

Dr. Damien Xenon was a proud man but he was never cruel, arrogant and a bastard at that but he never abused but if there was one thing he regretted in his life was that those who stood and mocked him in past, they didn't suffer enough.

"You must be proud of your work, Damien." The sleazy and cheap feeling that Simoné gave him was worse than all those bastards of the past. He let the man monologue to his heart's content because if there's one thing Simoné was, it was sadistic and the last thing he needs is his project terminated because of the crazy bastard.

"Can Belladonna escort someone without the poison killing the client?" He asked while the red haired doctor pursued his lips. "She can, as long as her choker has an increase dosage and nanites to keep the poison at bay." There was sinking feeling that he felt as he saw the smile on the other man's face.

"And if she were to bed someone?" Belladonna may be his test subject but that doesn't mean he was negligent of her basic needs and one of those needs is Belladonna's free will. "She's not a *****, Simoné." He reminded his boss who gave a serene smile towards his direction. "I find it peculiar that our top agent doesn't have much of nightly reputation." He ignored the Doctor's words and proceeded to watch the progress of the Agent.

Before them was a large screen that was watching Belladonna's movement. "Aren't you a tad possessive of the poor thing? Spending majority of her time inside a tank when she could be out having fun?" Damien's eyebrow twitched at the statement. "You and I both know Belladonna has a preference for staying indoors." Damien replied sourly while Simoné chuckled.

"Only because you tell her to stay inside, poor girl listens to you as if you're God itself." The red haired doctor crossed his arms as he watched his subject's movements.

She managed to attract the client and they proceeded to head to the hotel room, the client was becoming handsy and Damien could see how Belladonna was struggling not to snap his neck. "She's playing her part quite well." Damien noticed how Belladonna had released the first tier lock because of the loose clasped. "For someone who hasn't slept with anyone, I'm surprise she can seduce a man." Simoné kept his eyes glued to the screen as he watched the fascinating deadly woman slowly made her target lose his mobility and by the time they reached his hotel room, his breathing was labored and he passed out on the floor of his room.

...****************...

"You bitch....w-what d..did you do to me...?" His slurred words made the Belladonna mused mentally. "Poisoned you." It was a shame she had to end his life but before that, she had to make him suffer for the pain of this sleazy man coping a feel.

With the tip of her heels she flipped him over unto his back with ease, noticing that he had trouble opening his eyes she clicked her tongue. 'Perhaps the Doctor would like this technology?' She thought provided she didn't destroy it, the woman looked at her prey with a calculative look because he still has a use for her.

"Such as shame." She didn't know what would happen if she took the eye contacts off but it was a risk she was willing to take.

...****************...

"My oh my, seems like your dear flower has a gift for you, Damien." They watched Belladonna took the contacts off, it's a good thing she gagged him as she proceed to take the technology. "I drilled it into Belladonna that if it's useful then she should bring it back, Carter's eye contacts were wasteful on him when he could've utilize the potential but a sleazy pig like him wouldn't know any better." He smirked when he saw the annoyed expression of his subject, Belladonna scowled fiercely Carter struggled too much and he knew that was the end of the pig.

"EMERGENCY! EMERGENCY! THE MISSION HAS BEEN COMPROMISED!" Damien and Simoné both shared an alarmed look as they watched Belladonna snapped Carter's neck before locking the hotel door. "Base, come in Base, target is confirmed dead and primary route for exit has been blocked, awaiting instructions." Belladonna said calmly but her heart was pounding when she heard her communicator alarm.

...****************...

"Seems like the mole took an opportunity to get rid of several targets." Damien scowled when he watched the scene unfold. He has to applaud Belladonna for craftiness as she jumped into the bed and her appearance look disheveled as possible. "This is the police! Stay where you or we'll shoot." When they broke down the door, they saw a frightened crying woman and a man on the floor.

"T-there was someone that just came in and took out s-something from his eyes and the s-screaming!" She acted hysterically and the female police officer helped her put on her clothes before escorting her out of the hotel room and into the awaiting police car but before that happened Belladonna knocked out the police officer and hide their unconscious body at the side before confidently making her way through the crowd and into the awaiting company car.

"Agent Belladonna, your mission has been compromised by an unknown factor, you are requested to meet with the Boss for briefing and to eliminate the target."
