Bloody night

The rain clawed at the penthouse windows, masking the sound of Elena’s fracturing sanity.

She had to kill him. Tonight.

Behind her, the heavy oak door clicked open. Marcus walked in, the scent of expensive bourbon and rain clinging to him. He unknotted his silk tie with a slow, practiced elegance. This was the man who ruled the city’s concrete veins—ruthless, feared, and utterly untouchable. A king who commanded ghosts to do his dirty work.

But as his eyes found hers, the sharp, calculating edge that made grown men tremble melted into something far worse. Something terrifyingly soft.

"You're quiet tonight, mia cara," he murmured, his footsteps silent on the plush rug as he closed the distance between them.

Elena’s heart hammered a frantic, suffocating rhythm against her ribs. Her fingers brushed the cold, uncompromising steel of the suppressed pistol hidden in the silk folds of her dress.

"Just thinking," she lied, the words tasted like ash. She forced a smile, praying he couldn't see the tremor in her lips.

Marcus stepped into her personal space, radiating heat. He reached out, his thumb gently tracing her jawline. "About us?"

The weight of her secrets suffocated her. She couldn't do this. But she had to.

With a ragged breath, she stepped back, pulling the weapon. The silencer caught the amber glow of the city lights. Marcus didn't flinch. He didn't even look at the barrel aimed squarely at his chest. He just looked at her, his expression a devastating mix of betrayal and profound understanding.

"It wasn't a game," she choked out, tears finally spilling over. "Not at the end, Marcus. You have to believe me."

"I know," he said softly.

"They have my brother," she confessed, the truth tearing out of her chest. "They'll kill me, they'll kill him... and if I don't do this, they'll just send someone else to finish you. There is no way out."

Marcus took a step forward, closing the gap until the cold metal of the gun pressed directly against his heart. He reached up, his hand gently cupping the back of her neck, pulling her forehead against his.

"Then let it be you," Marcus whispered. A genuine, heartbreaking smile touched his lips—the only true smile he had ever given anyone.

"Marcus, please—"

"If my empire falls, Elena, I want it to fall by your hand. I will not give them the satisfaction of my execution. Take it. It was always yours anyway." He closed his eyes, leaning into the barrel. "Do it."....

No Marcus you can't do it....stop it ...(and the gun shoot....)

I killed him....I killed him....

Marcus..... Marcus....why did you....please i am sorry...don't die... .I really loved you....i really...(he was lying half dead in my hand....when he said)

" i know, i always believe....you.... Elena....I love you very much......maybe....not ahh...in this life...but in another life ....you belong to me...will you.?

I was crying...(because I don't want to lose him....why...why did I do this....)...I am sorry....I am really sorry....I will...(sobe..).i will ....

(and Marcus died in her hand...).....

She cried....so hard....so hard...."i am really sorry Marcus...i should have realised....i never love someone...but you....you teach me love

How can you leave me behind....maybe not in this life...but in every universe... every life...I want to be with you....

(and then the commander came inside...and said you did the agent cross.....)

'' commander i never ask you something...but please let my brother have a happy life .... please.."

She picked up the gun...and placed it on her head....and clicked........

She killed herself...the blood is flowing so much....but her hand is still in place in his hand....with a tight grip .....

And that day it became a "BLOODY NIGHT "

.....

And how it all started.................

1 YEARS BEFORE -

When "Elena" who is the best secret agent...got her +SSS Mission.....

In which...she has to collect all proof against him....but secretly...he is a really dangerous man....the headquarters have sent so many people....but they all were killed by him ......

Commander - Commander Vance's cold gaze never wavered as he studied her across the dimly office. "Good. Because Agent Cross always delivers."

He slid a sealed dossier across the table. "Marcus Volkov. Nightclub owner by day, the city's most powerful kingpin by night. He's made three presidents look incompetent and buried two FBI investigations. Now everyone fears him except us."

Elena - yes Sir,

Commander - Elena, this is the only information about him....start the mission from Tomorrow, today learn about him...what he likes, what he does... everything...we believe you

Elena - yes sir !....I take my leave

.....(i go to my home ...and start reading about him....But there is nothing much in about him.... Tomorrow he is going to a charity gala....)

"hmmm....looks like i have to go to a charity gala too.... Marcus vein

Next day.....in a charity gala....

The Ritz-Carlton glittered under the moonlight, a fortress of wealth and power. you arrived in a sleek black dress that hugged her curves, her suppressed pistol concealed in a clutch, and a micro-camera disguised as a bracelet. As she entered the gala, your eyes immediately found him—Marcus Volkov stood at the center, commanding the room with effortless charisma.

" there are so many people....but he is another type of person.... every one is afraid of him....

"ouch...sorry i wasn't paying attention...(...he is ..... Marcus...)

Marcus - young lady...watch where you are going...

(his eyes are dark....like he has different kinds of aura...)

Elena - even if i wasn't paying attention....but you have eyes too....you can also look ahead....

(and there....i got full attention of everyone...)

Marcus - princess, don't you know who you are talking like this?

Elena - amm should I care

( and suddenly an old man approached us and said...)

Young lady....he is Marcus volkov....did you get it

Elena - sorry but I heard this name for the first time....

Marcus -..... "interesting"...

( he sends that old man and his bodyguard another way.... everyone was staring at us but now .... everyone is acting like we are not even here)

Marcus - princess.... don't you have to say anything to me?

Elena - oh ....yes I have..... please look ahead while walking....

( his jaw tightened....and he grabbed my wrist and took me to the VIP room....he shut down the room....and caged me between his hands)

I said " what the hell .....let go of me...are you an idiot

Marcus - princess, watch your words...i won't take a second to change those words in screams....you are different my lady

Elena -....what the hell do you want....

Marcus - you have done a little crime little lady.....so I have to punish you...

( he is really a bastard...)

"what the hell did you just said "....( i kick him hard... enough to make him scream...)

" now I can say.... sorry sir....for breaking your ball...( fuck his bodyguard is coming...)...hope we won't meet again ( i leave from there)

(and that time he fell for me....he told his man to find everything about me....it was not love .....it was his obsession....)

(Next day...i got a buk

e of flowers....but it was not his man....he comes by himself....i didn't believe this....)

I Open the door and ask " who are you...."

 he put down the Roses....and said.... princess are you not happy to see me....i was about to close the door...but he put his leg between it....

I said...." are you out of your mind...why are you here?

He said giving a smirk...." princess..i thought you were missing me....so i just came to meet you.... won't you let me come inside....

" hell no way....go back....i won't let you in my house....go out...

"princess ....do you want me to make a scene here...look your neighbours are watching....

" haaa....(fuck he is really shameless)...come

He comes inside the room....and sits on the couch like he owns it

I ask - now tell me mr. Why are you here.... don't tell me i really broke your balls....i won't give you money

-( he smiles gently.....but he was about to do something)

" princess, i am not here for money....but I am here for you....i want you

" am i a thing that you want...? Did you take me as a thing

( he stands up from the couch....and leans in against me...and said

"why would I say that....i am here for you....go out on a date with me....will you?....

Elena - i won't....you are not Even my type....( he really stepped in his grave)

" princess.... don't say like this....or i won't take a second to break your neck....

" are you threatening me ?

" no princess....i was just telling you to be careful....

" huh? really....you are a really interesting man

then tell me why do you want to go on a date with me ?

".... BECAUSE I WANT TO BREAK YOU...."....

"you are done then please go back now...."...

He start to leave but stop at the door and said Princess don't make me wait I don't like waiting ....( and leave)

( i was panicked but I couldn't kill him before I got evidence.....i should talk to the commander)

.....

( I called the commander....and told him all things....and they Said i should let him pursue me.....and find a moment to find proofs...but I know if I go close to him....he won't let me go easily....but I will do what I can...)
