-POV Igor Durand

I'm Igor Durand, and I'm a billionaire CEO, with several companies around the world, I've lived in Canada since I was 20, so when my mother passed away I moved here...

My mother had heart problems and we didn't know it, because she hid it from everyone. I don't have many memories of my father, he died of cancer when I was 6 years old...

I only had one sister, Alexandra, who passed away along with my brother-in-law more than 3 years ago in a plane crash...

And my niece Kiara, who has lived with me since her parents' death, became my only family.

I became a hitman when I was 18 years old, the father of a long-time friend trained me and made me one of the best assassins in the world, I have killed thousands of people.

Kiara has always been interested in weapons and fighting since she was young, when she turned 22 she asked me to train her and make her the greatest assassin for hire just like me, my sister wasn't happy with this idea, but she didn't interfere with it. The daughter's decision...

So I trained her and taught her everything I knew, making her the greatest hired assassin, one of the most feared in the world...

And so I ended my career with this type of work, leaving her in charge.

I got married at 29, and after almost 6 years of marriage, I discovered that the unfortunate woman was cheating on me...

When Kiara found out about this, she became very angry then killed her.

Since then, I never got married or fell in love with any other woman, I just went out sometimes to have sex with some women, but only for fun, nothing involving feelings.

I leave the gym all sweaty and go to my room to take a shower and get ready to go to the company...

I go to the gym every day to stay in shape, as well as having a healthy and balanced diet.

I enter the bathroom and take off all my clothes, enter the shower, then turn on the shower and close my eyes, feeling the water fall over my head, my body relaxes with the contact of the water on my skin...

I park my car in my company's garage and get out of the vehicle, adjusting my suit, lock the car, and enter the building, I end up attracting several looks from my employees.

I ignore the looks and enter the private elevator, press the button indicating my floor, and wait, minutes later the elevator dings and opens the doors, I see my assistant working and concentrating on the computer.

“Good morning Mr. Durand,” Charlotte says professionally greeting me.

"Good morning! Bring my diary to my office now” I say dryly

I walk towards my room and close the door then, I take off my dark blue suit leave it on the back of the chair, and sit down...

I turned on the computer and saw that there were some document folders on the table.

A few minutes pass and I hear her knocking on the door, I just say “Come in” and my assistant immediately walks past the door, closing it as she enters, and approaches my table with the tablet in hand.

“License, you have to sign these supplier documents, and this blue folder” she points to the folder “has the entire project reviewed and with some ideas that you can use if you please.” She pauses and looks at the tablet in her hand “Ah, you have a meeting with the company’s economic management at 9 am.”

“Great, prepare the meeting room and bring me a bitter coffee” I order seriously, turning my attention to the computer.

“How about we go out tonight, friend? A new club is opening and I heard it will be packed, there will be a lot of hot girls” my friend Oliver says taking a sip of whiskey

Oliver has been my friend for many years, he is the vice president of my company, and he is like family...

“Not today Oliver, and I’m too tired to go to a party” I relax my back in my chair

“Come on Igor, stop being old, you always refuse my invitations to go out to parties” he sighs frustrated “You need to have fun...”

“So much drama Oliver” I roll my eyes, giving up “Okay, maybe it’s good to go out for a bit and clear your head...”

“That’s it man, fine,” he says, getting up from the chair excitedly “I’ll send you the address later...”

I nod my head in agreement and he leaves the office, closing the door then, I take a deep breath, running my hand through my hair, messing it up...

I hear the phone ring and I answer quickly...

“The meeting table is ready sir, the shareholders are already waiting for your presence,” my assistant says through the call

“I’m coming” I respond briefly and hang up.

I park my car in front of the nightclub where Oliver sent me the address, I'm wearing a white formal T-shirt and black pants...

I lock my car and walk towards the entrance, I look for crazy Oliver among the people, the line is huge...

“Hi, Igor” I hear my friend’s voice and I turn back, “I thought you weren’t going to come...”

“I ended up being a little late” I explain “Do you have VIP tickets?”

“My friend, come on let’s go in,” he says excitedly guiding me towards the door where only VIPs enter “There must be a lot of hot girls there, I need to fuck someone...”

We entered the club and the noisy electronic sound invaded my ears, colorful lights were flashing and several people drinking, dancing, and shouting...

I go straight towards the bar, I need to have a drink to relax, Oliver accompanies me and we sit on the bench waiting for the barman to serve us...

“What do you want, gentlemen?” the bartender asks

“a shot of whiskey on the rocks” I reply and look around seeing people dancing excitedly

“I’ll have a vodka,” my friend says to the bartender “My God, friend, look at that hot redhead looking at us with malice, now I’m going to make out with her” he looks towards a redhead wearing a low-cut and short mini dress

“good luck” I respond in disbelief, turning to grab the drink the bartender served me

(...)

I was there a little away sipping my drink, just watching people having fun, I haven't hooked up with any women yet, I haven't found one that caught my attention...

“Oh my God” I hear a sweet voice and a small body bump into mine, I grab her waist instinctively before she falls “I’m sorry...”

“It's okay, miss,” I say in a hoarse voice and take a closer look at her face

Holy shit, what beautiful woman is that?
