Summary: You'd always ask him the reason why he did what he did, but he would only laugh and deceive you once again with soft words and illusionary caresses.


You've become accustomed with missions that consist of frequenting mafia parties and infiltrating into different family mansions in order to retrieve documents and such. It was quite easy not to be noticed or being suspected by anyone, for who would ever get suspicious of such a shy girl, who always leant uncertainly against walls?

When they did suspect, he would always help you. Sometimes he took control of your mind and spoke through your lips, deceiving them with sweet lies that floated in the air and created a chain of deception. That worked out in most cases, but sometimes it would require more than that to convince those people; they would want more, often glancing at her body leeringly. Therefore, he would take complete control of your body and you would only realize what had happened after reading about or listening to news that spoke of gore and blood.

You'd always ask him the reason why he did what he did, but he would only laugh and deceive you once again with soft words and illusionary caresses.

You would never guess that he was so possessive about your whole being, and that he only killed those people because they insisted on trying to take from him what solely belonged to him.

You learned how to do it properly with time, this art of deception. He would always speak in your mind, thus, telling you what to do, praising your small successes, whispering that you should wait for the right time before acting.

"When they turn their backs on you" he would usually say "you'll get the chance to put the knife in".

You always deceived yourself thinking he only meant your enemies, even when he whispered those words in your boss' presence.
