By ten thirty I was getting tired so I looked into my scope again not seeing her in the room so I was about to gather my things when suddenly there was an explosion at the back of the house. I took out my binoculars and scanned all the windows then finally saw the man who hired me with is hands up in the air as surrender but the woman I couldn't see.

"Tch god damnit why can't she just be next in the window so I can blow her brains out. Now I have to go and walk inside to do the job." I grabbed my things running to the entrance of the mansion then walked to the third floor. "lets see it was four windows to the right so it should be eeny meeny minnnyyyy moe," I cracked the door a bit to get a good view of what id have to work with.

There was a woman with black hair and brown eyes wearing an all charcoal grey black sequin dress with a hand gun in her hand and a knife in the other. He gun was pointing to an older man in his thirties who had blonde hair brown eyes and wearing a bloody suit. He must have been shot at least once on the shoulder I think ad he was holding some documents in his hands.

"I want you to hand over the group to me so hurry up and sign the damn papers before I put a bullet in both of you," she said taking a step closer to him. Both of them? Does she plan to kill herself in the process?

"I won't hand it over to you, you will only cause war in all of New York and you are not fit to run it," he said while keeping his glaring gaze on her. She sighed then shot him in the stomach causing him to cough up blood almost staining her glossy black heels. Damn okay, I need to think of a plan think sky think... when I thought of how I was going to take care of her a closet door suddenly banged open.

Out came a tiny little blonde girl in a white nightgown running barefoot to the woman, "No weave daddy lone." She banged her little bloody hands on the woman's leg in an attempt to save her father. "Shut up you stupid abomination," she smacks the little girl so hard on the face that she passed out on the floor.

"Ugh disgusting I should have killed you when I still had you in me," she kept spilling ugly things to her and the father. "Oh god leave her alone your battle is with me just leave my daughter alone!" he yelled and she just maniacally laughed at his pleaded then pointed her gun to the little girl's head.

"Sign the papers and maybe she gets to live but it seems she is going to be fatherless soon," I was shocked a bit, memories of my father trying to kill me came back. I panicked for a few seconds then began to walk into the room without being noticed by the two quarreling parents.

"Hurry up so I can be on my way maybe ill keep the kid alive so I can sell her to a Dominant for some good money. She will be a good sex slav....," the woman gurgled a bit and a lone tear fell from her eyes as my knife sat comfortably in her throat.

"Never hurt a child stupid bitch," I took the knife out and she took a step back holding her throat that was bleeding out heavily.

"D..ev...i..l?" she was able to gag out. "Rot in hell with the rest of the trash sluts," I then threw the knife at her head landing straight between her eyes as it sank deep inside making her fall backwards dead instantly.

I looked back at the girl and walked to her then cradled her in my arms brushing her hair behind her ears then came close to her father. He smiled at me and asked for my name, "My name is Skylar Reed or as you hired me, The Devils' Angel."

He looked down at his papers writing something on it then shoved it in my direction then he took off an earring he had on and placed it on my helix piercing of my right ear, "Please take care of her as if she was your own and take care of the group it is about time we came out of hiding. There is a......war coming....so be...on...alert...." With that he passed away looking at the little girl in my arms, I got the papers he had shoved to me taking a look at what he meant.

He had given me everything of his company, his houses, islands and daughter. His name was Anthony Blackwood, previous owner of the Blackwood mafia group that went missing all those years ago.

That same mafia group now in the hands of me its new leader along with its helpless little heiress. I stayed kneeled there for awhile still trying to process and make a plan of what to do with life now that I have a group to run and a little one to take care of.

My thoughts were interrupted by little hands cupping my face, her blue eyes looking into mine as if trying to read my mind. "Ai mommy....eal mommy," she said while snuggling closer to me hiding her face in my neck. I was taken aback that this kid thought I was her real mother, was the woman not good to her at all before all this...what am I thinking of course she want nice to her before if she was willing to sell her.

I hugged her back and I felt her smile, "Yes sweetie, I'm your real mommy." She pulled away with droopy eyes now, "Daddy luv me....mommy luv me?" "Yes darling I love you," I picked her up bridal style after putting the documents in the backpack along with a picture of her and her father that I found in his wallet.

I was walking out of the place when another few bombs had gone off making the back of the building collapse. I rushed out of there afraid the smoke will get into her lungs and ran into the woods so that if anyone took the main road they wouldn't be able to see us.

After a long walk we finally got to the car where I put her in the passenger's side along with my bag then I drove home to Leo's place. When I got there, it was already almost midnight and from what I could tell Leo was still awake since his room light was still on.

I parked the car in the garage and went to the other side to pick up the sleeping beauty who snuggled closer to me. I sighed heavily as I walked up the steps and at the top I was greeted by Leo who then had da serious face when he saw my daughter.

I thought you went out to do a job not adopt a kid," Leo said coming closer to me to examine her more. "Hey she kinda looks like you with that blonde hair," she twitched in her sleep making her wake up, "Okay her eyes are blue too? Now she definitely looks like you. You weren't secretly knocked up or somehow had sex and popped a baby out tonight did you?"

I rolled my eyes and made my way to my room that was connected to his by the bathroom. I laid her on the bed but she only sat up wiping her eyes from sleepiness. "Ungry..mommy ungry." "I'm not angry sweetie." "No mommy not grrrr...is ungry..ungry," she said pointing to her stomach. "Oh your hungry ummm..."

I honestly didn't know what to do but after a few minutes of thinking it clicked, "Sweetie what's your name and how old are you?" she looked at her hands and held up one hand, "five and leaf." Leaf? Were her parent's hippies of something? "Her name is Leah Anna Blackwood she is five years old and a submissive her mark is on her left shoulder."

Leo was reading her paperwork to me that explained everything about her while I was giving her and me a bath. She played in the water and let her "wash" me while I explained to Leo what had happened. He was sitting on the marble counter going over the paperwork given to me, "Well you are her guardian now all you have to do is sign here and tomorrow when we go dress shopping for her we can turn in the adoption paperwork then on Sunday we can go to one of the properties owned by blackwood so you can claim the group as your own."

After we bathed we got dressed to go out to Walmart then maybe a fast food place that could be open. I had leah wear one of my sweaters and I had cut some leggings for her to put on along with very thick socks so her feet don't get cold. We only needed to buy her pajamas and an outfit to wear while we shopped for her.

"Are you sure it's a good idea to bring her along with us to the party I mean there are killers there," I asked Leo while pushing the cart through the girl's section. "You hear that sweetie your killer momma is worried about other bad guys. He is way stronger than anyone there and can beat up all the bad guys, right?" He asked Leah and she in return giggled, "Momma hero!"

I smiled and kissed her cheek then continued to pick out clothing, honestly this moment was a happy one, haha who would have thought a mafia leader and an assassin would be at Walmart at two in the morning buying princess underwear. I wouldn't have believed anyone if I was told that.

When we finished shopping we headed to McDonalds ordering that combo with eight burgers. We got home later that night going straight to bed since tomorrow we were supposed to stay out late again.

I laid in bed and Leah cuddled up in my arms, "Mommy, miss daddy." I hugged her closer, "I know baby but just know he loves you so much so don't ever forget your daddy." I know I just got her today but once I heard the word mommy come out of her little pink mouth I instantly claimed her as mine.

Ill protect her and give her so much happiness in life, my priorities have changed yet again and Leah is at the very top of them. A few days ago, I was merely living with my sexually abusive father and now I have my own place, my own group and now my own daughter.

I felt happy....wait is this what happiness is.....what love is.....

"You'll only fail her."

"No no I wont she will be happy and loved!"

"Loneliness is your only specialty, you will stain her purity with your darkness."

"NO, I'll be the best mother she can have...I can do it...I just need to breathe.."
