Chapter 6: The Fight

Anastasia Honchar's POV

Big mistake.

Did not he ever interrogate people and leave them be. Why does he have to let me go and give me a chance to fight him? Maybe he was testing me how to get better or how he wanted to access me for better fighting skills? Who knows?

after he released me, he still demands where was his ID. oh, he knows that I will never give it up, it was the only thing that keeps him pursuing me and I loved every minute of it.

"Well, for starters," I said as I looked at him after he gets me off from the rope, "big mistake," I whispered before I kicked him in the stomach. But I have to know better to attack a psycho. He caught my foot and looked at me bored.

"Is this how are you gonna do it? So be it," he said before I whipped and kicked his face. He blocked my foot again and smirked. god, this guy was getting on my nerves.

"I think I have the upper hand here, Princess," he said before he flipped me and I was laying on the floor. I did what I would do, or what Alfred taught me to do, I stopped myself with my hands before I backed up and I went to flex my back as Marco was still holding my feet.

I went to flip my body onto his as I went backward. He stumbled back and was caught off guard from my flip and released my feet. I smiled before I wrapped my legs around his neck and I twisted it. He got a hold of my legs.

"well, as much as I would like you to wrap it around me and so on, I think I know enough of your skills," he said and before he could disentangle, I went to drop my body to the ground and he stumbled with me on the floor as well.

I unwrapped my legs before I went to look for a door. I grabbed the handle but it was locked. Damn it, I cursed under my breath and when I turned to look at Marco, he was up and crossed his arms at me.

"well, you don't think I would untie you and you can run away, right Princess?" He asked me as he was taking a step toward me. I stumbled backward before I can sense that my back was hitting the wall. I need to keep a stoic face in this psychology fight.

"well, let's see what you have here, shall we?" He asked me before he pulled out my passport. My eyes went big as a saucer. How did he manage it? I put it on the most secure part of my body and here, this weird psycho has it in his hand.

"oh, don't be surprise, princess, you know I can get anything without trigger the alarm, and besides," his green eyes trained on my face before going up and down my body, "I don't mind do it again," he said as he looked at me in the eyes, smirking on that gorgeous lips.

"so, you're Anastasia Honchar, born on June 25," he looked at me as if trying to guess my age. I gulped. I will not tell that to him.

"you know, it's rude to ask the age of a woman," I said as I was crossing my fingers. He smirked at me as his eyes were twinkling with delights.

"well, I am no gent but I will respect that but as you already know, if I can get information on your birth town and all that, you don't think I don't know your age, Princess?" He asked me as he was amused by my action. seriously, I wanted to kill this man, right now.

"well, enough about me, what about you? if you wanted to work together, we might need to get to know each other," I said as I looked at him. He was standing as he was flipping my passport. If I could only get that and find my way out of here.

"Now, I know what you think you're doing but I think we have everything that we need to know. But if you wanted to, I can give it to you whatever answer that you desired from me," he said as he went to take a seat at the chair that we have abandoned earlier. I need to make sure that everything will be on my terms. I shifted my weight on my foot.

"Okay, who are you really and who sent you?" I asked as I looked at him warily. He was smirking at me as he tilted his head.

"that's classified and it will be revealed when he saw fit," he replied. he?

"who's he? Is he the one that sent you to me?" I need an answer and I need it now.

"who is he?" I asked. He smirked.

"that's classified and in time—"

"it will reveal itself. Can you give me anything else besides that answer?" I asked and before I know it, he was in front of me in a matter of seconds.

"well, one thing I can say is that you are my destiny and I was yours to hold," he said before he pulled me on the hair and kissed my mouth.

okay, scratch that, it was claiming my mouth as he owned it. My eyes went big as a saucer before his other hand pulled me around the waist. I was trying to resist as I cannot compose myself to kill this man, let alone kiss him. But oh god, he did know how to kiss.

"Hmm," was the only response that I can get before I wrapped myself around his neck and I went to pull him even closer. He seems to like it. I can sense that he was smiling in the kiss.

"I know you can never resist me, my love," he whispered before my eyes were heavy. What was happening? Why was the world was spinning?

"what did you do?" I asked him before I was getting closer and closer to sleep.

"in due times, my love, you will know it," was the last thing I heard from his mouth as I drifted to the darkness.

Marco Conti's POV

I was holding Anna in my hands as I smiled after I kissed her. She was resisting at first but I guess that was a part of the plan for her to repel me. But man, I know she was the one. She might be inexperienced in this but I will not let that get in between us in the future. If anything it made me happy with delight.

"sweet dream, my love," I said as I went to put her on the bed. This inn has been compromised after I brought her here. I need to find another place before I lose myself around Anna. I need to getaway.

I went to cover her with the duvet as she tossed and turned in her sleep. Her buttons on the blouse were too low for not acknowledge the glimpse of full breasts and her white skin. She was beautiful, in her way. I smiled before I get out of bed.

I went to pack my things into my bag as I took it from the ceiling that I have stored it last night. The housekeeping did not disturb it and I was glad about that. Then, I went to pick up my things and I was contemplating to take her passport with me or not. I mean, an eye for an eye.

"well, she has my ID why not in exchange for that, I have hers?" I said as I was trying to make sense in not a very sensible way. I smiled as I put her passport in the security of my bag, a place that I put my money and other documents that might be needed to extract the information from Apollo's Life. She was in for a surprise.

I went back to the bedroom after I took my hoodie and put it on. I looked at Anna and smiled. I went to bed as I took a seat beside her as she was breathing normally. She looked cute and…normal. As if nothing about our deal was normal.

"I see you soon, my love," I said as I went to kiss her cheek. She stirred a bit as she turned away from me as she was mumbling unintelligent. I chuckled at her. well, she has my heart from the moment that I saw her on the train.

then, my phone vibrated. I took it out of my pants and I looked at the caller ID. I smiled. I pushed to answer before I smiled against my phone.

"you sly dog," he said.

"well, what can I say, your sister was very nice and you know that he will be happy if I would end up with her, right?" I asked as I took my bag and went out of the room, looking one last time at Anna before I went out.

"well, if you say so, Conti," he replied.

"Hey, can you do me a favor?" I asked him. He scoffed.

"all of this was a favor, you know. But for a different person?" He replied.

"yeah, but this time it's personal," I said. He sighed.

"what is it?"

"well, I wanted a position at the Apollo's Life and make sure that it will be in the same department as a woman named Anastasia Honchar," I said. He snickered.

"Whatever you say, bro,"

"Thanks, T. I know I can count on you," I said before I hung up and walked out, smiling as I know that the plan was in motion.
