Is this destiny?

As soon as Maksim let go of Mila, she scrambled to the other side of the table and rubbed her neck.

"Why did you bring me here? What is the meaning of this?", Mila asked angrily. She didn't like that he is treating her like some kind of a criminal. She only stated the obvious, alright?

Maksim was not in the mood to entertain her questions. He finds Mila pretty to look at, and maybe she has a skill or two, but she is lacking in the brain department. Why else would she spread nonsense that he is gay when he is only a few steps away?

He saw many women like Mila, and he can already predict that she is noisy and thinks that she is the smartest and untouchable, while the truth is that he can break her like a twig and no one will bat an eyelid about it.

"You said that Alex spoke to me during the mission. What makes you think so?", Maksim asked, and his expression darkened when Mila took a seat on the chair. "Did I say that you can sit?"

Mila's eyes widened and she slowly stood up when she realized that Maksim is serious. "Why are you treating me like this?"

Maksim gritted his teeth in annoyance. "Woman, I don't have much patience and you will start talking without delays if you value your life. You smeared my name. I want to know what reason your bird-brain found to think that I am interested in the pretty boy. Or maybe there is no reason, and you are plain stupid."

Mila picked up that he is threatening to kill her, and he also called her stupid, but between those two, she will address the deadlier one first. "You can't harm me. The Voronin family values me."

Maksim sneered. "What do you know about the Voronin family?"

"Uhm… I know that they need talent, and I am one of the top twenty in terms of talent."

"So far, the only talent you have shown is failing and getting into trouble. Tell me, how is that valuable?"

Mila was not happy with Maksim's accusations. "How did I fail or get into trouble?"

"Hmm… I told you to get close to Alex, and you failed. Instead of keeping your mouth shut and realizing your mistake, you accused me of fancying him. I want to know why."

Mila can see that Maksim is upset and she decided to answer him.

"Alex was talking to someone while working on the safe. There are cameras and I'm sure you can go and check. His expression was changing, and he even mumbled something like 'I wish you are with me…'. Unless there was someone else outside the room who could communicate with that earpiece, the logical conclusion is that he was talking to you!"

Maksim's jaw tightened as he pressed his teeth together in annoyance.

"Anything else?", Maksim spoke through his teeth. If this is the only thing Mila has, she is really stupid. Many people make faces and mumble when they are deep in their own thoughts and Maksim saw that Aiden was unmoving for a few minutes while he worked on the safe.

Mila observed that Maksim's expression darkened, and she quickly added: "How can Alex crack the safe without any tools? It is obvious that he knew the combination, but he was stalling for time to make it more realistic. Since we met with them in the building, Alex moved like he knows the layout, and he told us not to bother looking upstairs because our goal is in the basement. How would he know all that if you didn't tell him in advance?"

Maksim's eyes flashed with madness. "How I see it, you are asking for death."

"You can't kill me. You don't have authority.", Mila said in panic.

"That is where you are wrong, bird-brain. You say that you know Voronins, yet you have no idea with whom you are talking to. I can kill every one of you and I would need to answer only to one man."

Mila's face paled when she connected the dots. "Maksim… You… You are Maksim Voronin… The son of…"

Mila's next words were cut off when she saw that Maksim pulled out an army knife. It was a tactical army knife with a black blade and serrations along its curved edge and Mila knew that if he stabs her with that, it will cause jagged internal injuries that are impossible to stitch without surgery because as it exits the body, that knife tears chunks of flesh.

Her chin trembled under his murderous glare.

"This… don't… don't kill me…", Mila stuttered while walking backward until her back hit the wall. "I can be useful…"

Maksim's eyebrow arched in amusement and corners of his lips lifted into a menacing smile. He slowly closed the distance between them, enjoying the horror on her face.

The mightily proud Mila is now trembling as he towered above her, and the sight in front of him is bringing pleasure to his core. Maksim loves when he shows people like Mila how insignificant they are. The moment when her arrogance turned into total submission and pleading for her life is exhilarating.

In Maksim's eyes, Mila is an ant that he can squish anytime, but he enjoys the game of giving her hope, only to take it away. Maksim is a predator who loves to play with his prey.

"Really? You failed such a simple mission, so tell me… what can you do?"

Mila swallowed hard. They were so close that she could feel his breath on her face. She heard stories about Maksim. His handsome looks and charming smile are deceiving. And other than being a vicious killer, he is a known playboy.

"I… I can please you in any way you want. I am good at it."

Maksim tilted his head and smirked. "Show me."

Mila slid down on her knees and started unbuttoning his pants with shaky hands.

His breathing hitched slightly as she took him in her mouth.

Maksim watched Mila's head bob and he grabbed a fistful of her hair, pulling her head toward him so that she can take in all of him. Mila gagged, but she didn't stop moving.

A few minutes later…

Maksim wiped the bloody knife on Mila's pants before putting the knife back into its holster that was hidden in the pocket of Maksim's pants.

"I guess you were not as good as you thought…", Maksim mumbled at Mila's body that was unmoving on the floor. She had remnants of his release at the corner of her mouth.

Her neck was slit open, and the blood was oozing. Maksim looked at the gruesome scene like it's not a big deal.

Maksim was planning to dispose of her from the start, but first, he wanted to know what made her think that he and Aiden are a couple. Mila going down on him was a bonus. She said some things that don't make much sense, but he will confirm with a few people who were in charge of planning if anyone leaked the information about the mission.

Maksim got out of the room and glanced at the bulky man. "Clean up the room…"

"Yes, boss…", the bulky man responded and went inside to do as he was told.

Maksim would usually play more with his victims, but he does not have much time now. He needs to make arrangements for dinner.
