After months observing a witness that afar, in the dead of night, witnessed a heinous crime orchestrated by the mafia, where a renowned businessman was murdered, here is the libidinous murderer, enchanted by the witness's exotic and sensual panties, as it was his habit, watch her, search and smell her underwear, what a pervert!

The witness, Maria, spent two days trying to assimilate what happened two nights ago. During these days she was afraid and could not even sleep. She had nightmares about the other day, images could still appear in her imagination, the way that the murderer shot the renowned businessman.

She was cornered and felt guilty for the fight she had with her boyfriend in that unlucky night. Maria was upset with her boyfriend, Gimo, because she caught him cheating on her with a bartender. Her boyfriend tried to to stop her in order to justify himself but she drove home in rush and nervous. Unfortunately on the way back home her car broke down in the midst of nothing and along the road and had to walk on foot. She unsuccessfully tried to ask for lift and had to keep on walking home anyway. She walked for almost one kilometer and suddenly she heard voices, "Who told you to speak with the police about our deal? You put everyone in danger and we don't tolerate that mediocre attitude" - Said Nhongo, the trusted and skillful mafia killer. At this time the businessman was begging for his life, "I am so sorry, I didn't imagine that things could reach at this point" - replied him scared.

At this moment, Maria was somewhere near the place of meeting while peeking and listening the conversation and shoutings. One minute after, the killer got impatient and he coldly shot the businessman. When he did it, Maria spontaneously screamed and called everyone's attention. All the guys turned around searching for the person who screamed. When she noticed that was seen by them, she started to run desperately and the guys were chasing her while shooting but she kept on running till she managed to get the bus that was about to leave. As the guys were a bit far from her they didn't manage to reach in time, so the guys did nothing else than identify and memorize the car registration number. 

The next day morning, the big boss got to know about what happened in the previous night and immediately demanded the death of that witness. The big fish of the mafia is caucious in everything he does, so the mission was to find out where Maria lives and that was an easy task for them as they had connection with many big fishes at many police stations around the city, those corrupt police were on their hands, the majority, they used to receive bribes from the mafia. 

After two days without sleeping, headaches and nightmares, Maria decided to go to the close police station in order to report what she had seen in the previous days. As the corrupt police already had the description of the woman who witnessed the crime scene, they identified her when she was reporting the scene of crime to the police station delegate. After her testimony one policeman was calling the mafia to inform about the woman in the police station but Maria quickly understood as he, the police man, presenced the scene in the other day and Maria recognized him. She got nervous and started to tremble. Then she had an idea. She asked to go to the toilet and took this chance to flee. 

On her way back home she was tracked. That day her boyfriend visited her in order to have a finger of conversation and redeem himself for the other day in the club. As she needed a company to be safe, she didn't argue with her boyfriend although they still needed to talk and resolve their situation and probably decide the destiny of their almost broken relationship. 

Then she decided to take a bath while her boyfriend was on the bed waiting for her sweet heart. This happened at the same pace when the libidinous murderer came in the house in order to finish the work. He calmly opened the window and got in. Maria's boyfriend was on the bed under the blanket. The murderer shot in Gimo thinking that was shooting Maria sleeping. Maria heard the shooting gun for the toilet and didn't scream. In the same time two police were coming to Maria's house to protect her as she belonged for witnesses program. Seeing the police, the murderer fled and when they got in, Gimo was already dead. Maria cried a river. 

After this episode, Maria left home to unknown place to start over, but the mafia had that skillful, feared and obsessed killer, Nhongo, so he was the one appointed for this particular mission. Well, as I mentioned in the beginning, he is mad at Maria, he is obsessed. 

For a long time he had the opportunity to kidnap her and do the job for which he was appointed, but he preferred to observe her, and created a fantasy inside his head. On cold nights at home, he played his flute and imagined himself touching and sliding his disgusting hands on that sensitive and curvaceous body. The scene was repeated for many cold winter nights until one day he decided to take action.

Finally, he decided to reach his target, who, besides being beautiful, showed off a beautiful line of teeth that opened like a lily in spring, an immaculate and seductive smile. He kidnapped her and locked her up in a hotel room. 

He approached her calmly and with difficulty whispered in her ear, "you are beautiful, I love you, I will give you a choice". She asked – “what choice?”. “Either I will kill you, or you will be mine, my property, forever” - the perverted and obsessed killer threatened her. The exotic witness preferred to live. She resisted on the first night, but ended up giving in on the second night and so on she started to like it. She already loved it. She gave herself of her own accord, and ended up falling in love with the old man. Both became fugitives.

They fled to the countryside in order to start over. It was not easy a new life for that kindness who was used to executive work. It was a challenge and, they fought a lot over there, the routine was the same and boring, far from the city, far from everything and away from the rest of the world. The mafia, realizing what their most prestigious killer would have done, decided to chase and kill them, but Nhongo was very well trained and skillful, so he ended up with the group of his former mafia mates sent by the Big Boss and then ran away with the his beloved, Maria, to an uncertain place and they lived happily ever after.
