Alex stared at the mirror as the hairstylist prepped up her hair. It was the day of the wedding and everything since she saw Leo at the mall went by in one huge blur for her.

She could still remember the smell of cigarettes on his body, the way his eyes eyed her whenever she does anything.

That was all she could think about, it even appeared in her dreams, those bright green eyes that looked like it had a lot of story to tell.

The hairstylist was done with her work and headed on outside, Alex observered herself in the mirror. Everything looked fine, perfect even.

She checked the time on her phone and thirty more minutes to spare. The door open up and in came her father.

She turn her body halfway on the chair, before standing up and approaching him. A proud look was on his face.

"Oh, you look just like your mother when she was getting married to me." He said smiling from ear to ear.

"Thank you. Where is mom if I may ask?"

"She refuse to come see you. Giving an excuse that she has a headache." Giovanni rolled his eyes.

Alex was disappointed but not surprise. It's just the way her mother is, she just couldn't phantom as to why she doesn't even want to spend time with her.

"I came here to tell you something. Now as you are getting married to Leonardo Rossi, I want you to try and seduce him to sleep with you."

Alex eyes widened at what get father just said. "Excuse me. Now why would I even seduce him?"

"I want you to kill him as quick as possible. The sooner, the better Alexandria."

"But dad, you do know that Raphael Rossi isn't a man to be messed with right."

"I know, that's why I want you to kill him so that he can be weakened from the inside."

"But, I don't know how to seduce a man. You never thought me any of that."

"Alex you are a very beautiful young woman you don't have to do too much to get a man's attention."

Alex was still not so sure about her taking Leonardo's life, after he technically saved her's back then at the mall.

She felt her father hold her hand gently, looking at her with his hazel colored eyes. "I really need you to do this for me. If you are able to pull this off I would give anything you want."

Alex perked up on hearing what he just said. "Anything?"

"Anything." Her father nodded his head.

She an idea on what she wanted him to do for her, she just hopes that she would pull this off.

"However, if you feel like you can't seduce him. I would give you this sleeping pill to slip inside his drink." He reached for the inner part of his jacket and brought out a small parchment paper and handed it to her.

She took and just nodded her head. Giovanni gave one last nod and lightly touched her arm, and then left her to go back outside.

Alex stared at the small red pill that was laying on the parchment paper. Suddenly she felt a headache, one that she hasn't felt in a long while.

****

The wedding only consisted of both the Rossi and Santi family. No one else was in attendance.

As Alex walked up to the alter with her father holding her arm, and handed her over to Leonardo as a means of telling him to take good care of her, she couldn't help but feel a feeling of sadness wash over her. Why did she have to take this man's life, this man has been nothing but kind to her since she saw him.

As they priest went about talking about how two people coming together as one, and all that crap, Alex couldn't wait for the wedding to be over and this mission done and dusted with.

****

The wedding was over and both Alex and Leonardo went to their own personal mansion, where they would stay with each other. Till she kills him.

As they entered their room, Alex stood by the corner, not knowing what to do at the moment, feeling a bit awkward.

She saw as Leonardo took off his jacket and button his shirt, she looked away not wanting to look at him undress.

There was a knock on the door and Alex went to answer, she remember asking one of the maids of the house to bring two glasses of orange juice. She is not really a fan of drinking alcohol.

"What's that?" Leonardo asked sitting at the edge of the bed.

"I asked for two glasses of orange juice for us." Alex said.

Leo didn't say anything, Alex placed the tray on top of the dresser and, bringing out the parchment paper and dropping the pill inside the orange juice and watching it dissolve.

She took the two glass cups and walked to the bed, and sat on it with her wedding dress still on. Handing him the cup that had the sleeping pill in it.

She watched as he drank it like he hasn't had such a drink before in his life. She also decided to drink her own orange juice as well.

She sat and wait to see if the effects of the pill would kick in. Leonardo yawn, using his hand to cover his mouth.

"That's odd, I feel sleepy." His voice sounded tired.

"Maybe it's cause of the way today was like, so it's normal to feel tired." Alex reasoned with him. Leonardo nodded his head, laying his body on the bed and letting his eyes close shut.

Alex double check to see if he was truly asleep. Then she snuck out of the room and headed downstairs making sure that her footsteps couldn't be heard. She snuck in a kitchen knife from the kitchen to use and kill him.

As she went back to the room she checked once again to see if he was still asleep.

She then took the skirt of the wedding dress and she left in nothing but her undergarments.

She also let her hair down as well, holding the knife in her hand and straddling him, looking at his perfectly chiseled facial features. She used both hands to hold the knife and then attempted to plunge it into his neck but then stopped. Hesitant, then she tried one more time, however this time around something was restricting her from stabbing him with the knife.

Much to her surprise, Leonardo was wide awake staring at her his eyes bloodshot red and his green eyes standing out amongst it.

"What the fuck are you doing?" He growled.
