Chapter 2 Maid

• Eva
• To get something you have to lay low and go to any extent even if it means a Mafia Comare(boss) stooping low to be a maid.
• I spent the next few days preparing for my infiltration into the Moretto Manor. Dominik provided me with all the information I needed about the layout, the security, and the routines of the household staff. I had to blend in perfectly, so I practiced my cover story and even changed my appearance to look less like the ruthless assassin I had been molded into and more like an unassuming maid.
• On the morning of my first day, I dressed in the plain uniform of a housemaid, which was handed to me by the chief maid, my long hair pulled back into a tight bun, and I added little makeup to make me look ordinary.
• I took a deep breath, reminding myself that this was just another mission. The reason was clear: gather information, find vulnerabilities, and get closer to my next target.
• Arriving at the Moretto Manor, I was greeted by the head housekeeper, a stern woman named Lucia. She eyed me critically, but my forged references and polite approach seemed to satisfy her. She handed me a list of tasks and sent me off without much more than a brief warning to stay out of the family's way.
• As I moved through the grand hallways, dusting and polishing, I kept my eyes and ears open. The Moretto family was powerful and ruthless, much like Marco, and they had a hand in the darkness that had consumed my life. I needed to understand their routines and their weaknesses.
• They didn't just have a hand, according to Damian (Dominik's father)they were the center of it all,all the culprits were whisk around them.
• Days turned into weeks, and I carefully built my facade as Eva, the quiet and efficient maid. I gathered snippets of conversation and made mental notes of security patterns. Dominik and I kept in touch through discreet messages, and he continued to provide me with the tech support I needed.
• One evening, while cleaning the study, I overheard a heated argument between Antonio Moretto, the head of the family, and his youngest son, Luca. They were discussing something about a shipment and a deal gone wrong. I made sure to note down the details later. information could be valuable for our next move.
• Later that night, as I lay on my narrow cot in the servants' quarters, I thought about the path I had chosen. The satisfaction of killing Marco had been real, but it had also reminded me of the hollow space left by my stolen childhood.
• There was still so much more to be done, and each step brought me closer to my ultimate goal: dismantling the network of power, taking the joy of the ones who took my joy and killing them too.
• I knew I had to be patient and careful. One wrong move, and everything could fall apart. But I was determined. This was more than just a mission. It was my life’s purpose.
• Dominik’s messages kept me focused. “We’re getting close, Eva. Keep your cover and gather as much intel as you can. We need to know their next move.”
• I replied with a simple, “Understood.”
• Each day brought me closer to the heart of the Moretto family's operations, and I knew it was only a matter of time before I would have my next target in my sights. Until then, I would play my part, a quiet shadow in their midst, waiting for the perfect moment to strike
• The Moretto family was known for its ruthless nature, they didn't have any sympathy for snitching and regarded their workers as little as the dust on their shoes.
• I got a close outlook on that when I started working there, the pay was enough but I knew there must be a reason why the treatment of the workers was inhumane. All the workers in the Manor were forced to take a secrecy oath.
• If it ever gets broken, their family would be wiped out of the earth.
• I cringe my face at the thought, reminiscing when I was told to tell the name of the person I love most in the world.
• I undergo a lot of tests, background checks and lots more before being allowed into the Manor.
• “Eva, hurry the boss will have a meeting in his office in thirty minutes and he needs it cleaned,so go do that “ My thoughts were interrupted abruptly by Lucia’s daughter Nicole.
• I took in a deep breath, clenching and unclenching my balled fist, trying to stop myself from twisting the blonde's neck.
• I nodded curtly, suppressing the surge of anger. "On it," I replied, grabbing my cleaning supplies and making my way to Antonio Moretto's office.
• As I entered the office, I took in the luxurious furniture, the rich leather, and the polish... But it wasn't the decor that interested me. I had learned that every object, every piece of paper could hold valuable information. I worked methodically, wiping surfaces and rearranging objects while keeping an eye out for anything out of place.
• I pushed back the earlier bitterness at Nicole and regarded this as an opportunity to get any tangible information.
• For somebody that old Antonio was definitely smart, he has a son whom nobody has seen but knows that he runs a whole Mafia empire in another country.
• His daughter Isabella is a spoiled brat ,a good replica of her mother who appears to be the devil herself.
• I dipped my hand into my uniform pocket and brought out my earpiece, connecting to Dominik immediately.
• “Hey buddy” I whispered
• Dominik’s voice crackled in my ear. “Eva, focus on the desk and the drawers. He might leave something important behind.”
• “Woah straight to the point”
• “Understood,” I whispered, making my way to the imposing desk at the center of the room. I started with the drawers, opening them carefully and quickly scanning their contents. Most of it was ledgers, pens, and personal items. But then I found a folder marked with the name “Corsica.”
• My heart raced as I flipped it open, revealing documents and photos. Names, dates, locations it was a detailed record of Moretto's operations in Corsica, a critical piece of their empire. I used the tiny camera in my watch to snap pictures of every page.
• Suddenly, I heard footsteps approaching. Panic surged through me, but I forced myself to stay calm. I quickly put the folder back, making sure everything was exactly as it had been. Just as I finished, the door opened, and Antonio Moretto himself walked in.
• “What are you doing here?” he demanded, his sharp eyes narrowing in suspicion.
• I straightened, holding my cleaning supplies like a shield. “I was told to clean your office, sir. Lucia’s orders.”
• He stared at me for a moment, then nodded curtly. “Finish quickly and get out.”
• “Yes,sir”
• I hurriedly finished my cleaning and left, only stopping along a corridor to speak to Dominik.
• “I just sent the pictures to you “
• “Good Eva this is gold “ his happy voice rang through my ear.
• “This document is leading us directly to our next kill and we also get the opportunity to sabotage the shipment” Dominik spelt out,his voice low and cal
• culated. Making me know that he has switched to his serious mode.
• “When will this happen?”
• “Tomorrow midnight.”
