KAYLA

“What the fuck is wrong with you, Kayla? How can you be late on this day of all days?" My best friend, Miro, scolded me as soon as I arrived at the office.

“The universe is against me, Ro,” I whined. “I slept early yesterday, but I still managed to wake up late."

Today was the briefing for our new assignment, and though my presence wasn’t needed since they never give me any assignments, my co-workers would never miss an opportunity to poke and complain about my lack of work ethics, which wasn’t true.

My life was a trail of bad decisions and bad luck. My mother had died during childbirth after demanding that they save her baby instead when they told her the choice had to be made. That decision was the beginning of the hell that is now my reality.

My father, Jonathan Monroe, has never looked at me with an ounce of love since I was born. To him, I should have been the dead one instead of Mom, and he wasn’t shy about being vocal about his opinion.

I’ve tried so hard to get him to be proud of me. I should have stopped when I graduated valedictorian at the university, but I just had to go and join the secret service behind his back.

I could still remember when the entire office found out I was the chief’s daughter and how their welcoming gaze turned judgemental as though I got in with Dad's connection, and he never corrected them either.

Miro was in too much of a hurry and ended up opening the door to the meeting room more dramatically than he intended to, forcing all attention on us.

“Her majesty finally decides to grace us with her presence,” Anita drawled sarcastically. She was tagged the best agent since she had the highest number of assignments, but she was mean and hated me.

“She thinks she can do whatever she wants since Daddy dearest is the chief." Another agent scoffed.

My eyes scanned the meeting room first, and I was a little relieved to see that my dad wasn’t in the room, but now I had to decide if that was a good thing or not.

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to come late. I woke up late and...” Miro squeezed my hand with a groan to tell me to shut up, but it was too late. Their eyes had narrowed into slits, and they were ready to strike.

“Oh my god, did you guys hear that? Little Miss Important was late because she was getting her beauty sleep.” Anita called out and began clapping.

“You are such a despicable persona and don’t deserve to be here." Anita had managed to come close to me and was poking at me with every word she said.

“You better take a fucking step back.” Miro got a hold of her hand and threw it off me.

“What’s happening here?” A voice thundered behind me, and I felt the hair on my skin raise in alarm as my father stepped into the room.

His eyes eyed me with disgust as I pathetically hid behind Miro. Everyone scurried to their seats, and Miro pulled me with him to our seats.

The projector before us lit up, and Nathan, the deputy service chief, took the floor. “Good day, agents. As you are all aware, a new assignment has been issued, and we are here to be briefed on everything we have so far." He took a pause and clicked on his laptop, and the word “Project Zero” appeared on the screen.

“We have information that makes us believe this is the right time to infiltrate the Italian mafia family and eradicate crime in the country. We know they are responsible for the huge weapons and drug distribution across Italy, the United States, and other countries. We also believe they are involved in money laundering and have deep roots in the current government, so this is a serious case.” He took a slight pause and looked around the room to make sure everyone was paying attention.

“We have picked our best agent, Anita Rivers, to carry out this assignment, but she wouldn’t work alone. Everyone on the team would need to be on alert to carry out impromptu tasks for the assignment,” he added.

Anita had a smug smile on her face. She always got the best assignments, and I hated that I was never given an opportunity to show my skills. I know I would do just as well as she does.

The briefing ended after an hour. I found myself raising my hand before I could stop myself. Everyone turned to me with raised brows, wondering why I had suddenly interrupted Nathan, who was closing the meeting.

“Yes, Kayla?” Nathan looked at me with surprise.

“I want to be directly involved in the assignment. I also want to go to Italy. I can be of help to Anita, and I promise not to obstruct her,” I found myself saying.

Anita’s sinister laughter rang through the room, and I grated my teeth in humiliation. “She is incompetent, and yet she wants to be part of such an important assignment?”

“That’s because I’ve never been given a chance to prove myself. I know I can do it.”

“Maybe next time but it’s been decided that this one is for Anita,” Nathan replied, and I bit my lips but said nothing. It’s useless to argue.

“The meeting is over. Further information would be passed on to you." My father spoke stiffly, and everyone scrambled to leave the room. I stood up as well and was about to escape when his voice stopped me.

“Kayle, see me in my office now,” he demanded, and my legs gave out as I dropped to my seat.

Miro threw me a sympathetic look but stayed behind with me while my father left.

“He is going to kill me this time.” I gulped. My heart was beating widely in my chest.

“That’s unlikely to happen, but he will definitely say some malicious things,” Miro said, and I groaned.

I dragged my feet as I made my way to the floor above mine, where my father’s office was located. I was taking my time because I was terrified. Yes, I was pathetic. Yes, I couldn’t be the daughter he wanted. Yes, I was a failure.

“I can’t believe I’m already crying before I get there,” I muttered. The intimidating nameplate on the door only added to the nerves that were pooling in my belly.

I took a deep breath before I knocked twice on the door.

“Come in” The gruff voice called from inside, and I gently opened the door and entered. I locked the door behind me but kept myself plastered to it, not daring to move an inch. I looked at my father, who had his back to me.

“Sometimes I look back at my past actions and wonder if I ever did something abominable." He began, and I shuffled with unease at how calm his voice was. This was the worst stage of his anger. The calm stage.

“I think long and hard about why the universe would punish me with an abomination like you.” I sucked in a harsh breath at the cruel words, but I braced myself because this was only the beginning.

“Why are you so insistent on making me angry, Kayla? You do this on purpose, don’t you? You want to see how mad I can get, so you push my limit?” He turned away from the window to face me, and I gulped in fear.

“Why are you so quiet? I asked you a question." He pressed.

“I didn’t do anything wrong, dad,” I stammered.

“Don’t call me your dad. I am your superior, and you will address me appropriately,” he thundered, and I jumped in fear at the sudden increase in his voice.

“I’m sorry, sir.” I apologised quickly.

“Why are your eyes on the floor? Jesus, how did I father such a disgrace?” He rubbed his hands all over his face, and I just stood there with my legs quivering in fright. “You can’t even face me, and yet you want to infiltrate the Italian mafia. With what guts?” He mocked.

“I can do it,” I whispered.

“How, Kayla? Enlighten me, please." He shouted, and I flinched.

“You flinch when I yell at you, and you think you can infiltrate a place like that where worse things happen?” He taunted, and I could feel all the confidence I had before slipping away like water.

“I can do it, sir. Just give me one chance. I’ll make you proud.” I wanted to make him proud. It didn’t matter the number of times he insulted me. He was the only family I had.

“Get out. I don’t want to see your face. It disgusts me. I don’t even know why I called out here in the first place." He shooed me away, but I didn’t mind.

I was out of the door before he decided he wasn’t done with me. I was lucky that the words weren’t as harsh as they got on some days. He let me off with just a few words, so it felt like Christmas.

“How was it?” Miro asked, meeting me halfway on the ground floor.

I gave him a sad smile and shrugged. “Better than most days. He let me off with just a few words."

Miro pulled me into a hug. “Why would you want to go for that assignment? It’s a death sentence. Everyone knows what those mafia families do to spies,” Miro scolded, pulling back.

“I just want a chance to prove myself. I know I can do it this time if I am given the chance. I feel it, Miro. This is the chance I could have used, but I just must keep trying. He would see me one day,” I mumbled.

“When Kay? When you are dead? Because that’s what would happen if you continued like this,” he snapped.

“There is no need to be worried. I’m not going anymore. I will clean the office while everyone is assigned to duties again,” I said with a defeated sigh.

We went to the diner just around the corner. It was our usual spot when we wanted to get away from the drama in the office. We sat there and talked for a while when our phone dinged.

"Kayla,” Miro whispered in shock. He was looking at me with a mix of fear, happiness, and worry.

“What happened?” I asked. I had yet to open the agents chat to see why he was behaving like this, but when I did, I understood.

Anita had an accident when she left the office earlier, and the assignment had been transferred to me.

“I’m going undercover."

RICARDOMy mood turned sour with every pathetic moan of pain that escaped the battered lowlife tied to the chair in front of me. I hated the dimly lit room we used to torture those who went against me much more than the people who made me come here.Couple both hatred, and that’s enough anger to make me want to use the plier in my hands to pluck out his tongue so he could stop making my ears bleed with his tears. My underboss, Enzo, had only plucked out his fingers, and he was crying like a bitch’.“I’m sorry, boss. I didn’t mean to …” The fool cried out, digging his grave further. Another thing I hated more than torture rooms and idiots were liars and manipulators.“I would pluck out your tongue even though it would ruin my very expensive suit if I heard any more lies from you, Mathias. You didn’t mean to steal my drugs?”Mathias clamped his mouth shut. He knew better than to say another word.“Come on, Mathias. I hate to play a game of cat and mouse. Where did you keep the tonnes of

KAYLA “Girl, I can’t believe you are going to be getting another solo in one night. I’ve practically crawled on my knees for Bernado, but that good for nothing, pot belly bastard won’t budge,” Ivory whined from her spot in front of the dressing mirror. It’s been three months since I started working at The Underground. I arrived in Italy the next week, after the assignment was reassigned to me. Dad wasn’t happy, but he could do nothing since I was the only free agent, and they had to send someone. I was assigned a fake mother who was a cancer patient. She used to be an agent before she got sick. I also auditioned to become a dancer in one of Ricardo’s clubs. We thought it would make it easier to get direct access to the man, but it’s been three months, and he has yet to show up here. In those three months, I met Ivory, Issa, and Diamond. I wouldn’t call us best friends, but they were good to me, and we were tight to the extent we could. I also made a lot of enemies because Bernado

RICARDO’S POV The club was packed just as Luca had reported. “Fuck, the place is packed. The Bastardo must be earning millions but keeps turning in change and claiming that there have been no sales.” Enzo growled from his place at the front. I turned to the Eagle’s eyes Capo, Orlando, who was seated beside me, “Seems like you are going to get a new shirt.” I nodded toward his designer shirt. The Eagle’s eyes were basically a clean-up crew for the family. They were made of hitmen and enforcers who got their hands dirty when it was time and were the largest team in the family. “As long as he won’t be breathing by the time I leave, it would all be worth it,” Giovanni grunted. He was a quiet man. Unlike Enzo, who fitted the role of the Capo more with his love for blood and violence, Giovanni was and looked the opposite of the position he held, but one should never be fooled as he was extremely ruthless, just as a Capo was supposed to be. “He still has no idea we are here, right?” I a

KAYLA I had never been to this part of the club in the three months I started working here, and I guess it’s because it’s been reserved for him. It’s been three months, and I had gotten nothing useful for HQ, and they were not happy. I don’t know why Ricardo ordered a private dance from me, but I was too desperate to finally have something to tell HQ when I call in for feedback. There were men stationed outside the door when I got there, and they gave me that familiar lustful stare that I could never get used to. Ivory had chosen a red lingerie with fake diamonds. I took a deep breath and pushed the door open but was surprised to see that it was empty. “Go in; the boss will be here soon." One of the guards grumbled, so I entered the room and locked the door behind me. I listened for a few seconds and scanned the room for possible cameras before bringing out the burner phone that was given to me to contact Miro. I sent him a quick text to Miro to let him know that I was finally

RICARDO I didn’t look back as I made my way out of the club through the back like I had come in. My entire body was heating up, and I needed the cool breeze outside to calm me down. It was unreal how harsh I was breathing as I pushed past drunk and high customers just to get out.  “Boss, do I get underboss and Capo Orlando?” The driver sputtered when he saw me. I don’t know where Orlando found the guy, but I guess he could drive well. I just got annoyed with how jumpy he was.

KAYLA  I stayed seated for a few minutes after he stormed out. The only thing I could hear was the loud panting of my breath as I kept staring at the door.  I took a deep breath to calm myself down before I gathered my things and began to make my way to the dressing room. I knew there would be questions, so I also prepared for how to divert them.

KAYLA “Mama?” I called softly and watched her as she opened her eyes slowly with a tired smile. “How are you feeling? Do you want me to get the doctor?” I asked worriedly. Even though we knew everything was fake, we still had to pretend, even away from the club, because we never know who might be listening. And it had stopped being a pretend game for me because she gave me the motherly love I never had. Leila worried about me like I was her own daughter. She knew about what life was with my father and told me to see her as my mom. This was why I was helping to pay her medical bills. She wasn’t making enough anymore to cover all the treatments she needed. Leila told me there was little hope for her to continue living, but I was going to hang on to that little hope. The treatment has been making her weaker than usual, so she was always asleep when I visited. I didn’t want to wake her up, so I just sat and watched her the entire time. “Kayla?” She asked groggily. “How long have you

KAYLA The interior of the hotel made me feel inferior. Elegance and wealth were on display just like the people in the reception areas. We got scornful looks as we approached the receptionist. Eyes judging us based on our lack of class. Though we all had on simple outfits that cost almost our entire pay checks, we still stood out like sore thumbs, but there was no time to ponder on it as Issa pulled me along to the man who had a disdained smile on his lips. “How may I help you?” He asked, almost with a sneer that didn’t go unnoticed by any of us. “I told myself I was going to behave else this motherfucker would have ended up with my fist on his already crooked nose,” Diamond muttered, not so quietly drawing chuckles from all of us. The man’s eyes widened in both alarm and surprise, not expecting such a comeback. “I’m glad you remember. Please don’t get us kicked out,” Issa whispered harshly back but more quietly, drawing a smirk from Diamond. “I called earlier to make a reserva

RICARDO “Where are the assets?” I asked as soon as I came down from the car in front of the hotel. Aldo Paolo fell into step with me, his face grim like it always was. Aldo was the head of the Black Bullet, which handled arm deals. The family had 5 teams to ensure things moved smoothly. We had Eagle’s eyes who were the assassins and hitmen, with Orlando as Capo of that team. Black Bullet had Aldo as the Capo. The Ox crew, who managed the legal business of the family, had Giovanni as their Capo. Black Chains had Angelo as the Capo, and they managed drug distribution, and Blood Rain had Gian as their Capo. They were the shadows of the family, the spies, and I was the only one who knew what they looked like to ensure no one else could catch them on missions. “In the warehouse” Aldo replied. “I instructed the boys to leave them there in case the deal doesn’t go as planned." We had an arms deal tonight. While others may choose secret and isolated locations, I believed it was better to
