Prologue

Prologue “Dad, I have a lot of things to do. Where are you bringing us?” Otis Flynn, my brother, asked. We are on our way to the place where I don't know. Honestly, we don't have any idea where the hell Dad is taking us. He just picked us up from our condominiums, telling us that he has to bring us with him. “You're too impatient, Otis.” My father beside me commented. I remained silent beside him and chose to stare outside the window. My brother's trait of being impatient was passed by my mother. She hates waiting the most. “Is this a new mission? You could have just given me the details,” he looked at him from the passenger seat. “And what? One of you will mess it up because you trust yourselves so much? Heck, no.” He let out a sarcastic chuckle, shaking his head. “I never failed a mission, you know that well, Dad.” I knew that he was mocking me. It was me who once failed a mission that my father gave me. Otis smirked arrogantly, shaking his head. Even without glancin...

Chapter 1
Chapter 1 Adira’s POV “ADIRA!” Ace threw the gun towards me as the chaos began at the funeral of my mother. Since all the visitors are assassins and part of the Mafia world, I didn't hear any of them scream because of fear from all the gunshot that began to fill the entire place. I saw people leaving—those are the clans who didn't want to be involved. But then, it doesn't mean that I can trust them. I know why they came here. It is not to mourn with us, that would be hypocritical. They are here to watch and observe me, studying how I move so they could attack me soon. I shot all the gangsters and assassins right in front of the altar. I didn't bother to move anymore because I could simply kill them without doing much effort. I watched the dagger pass in front of my face, before I shifted my eyes to my left and saw a woman who threw that to me. Vanessa Delfin, the heiress of their clan. I saw how annoyance ran through her round eyes. This woman has been eyeing me and I knew tha

Chapter 2
Chapter 2Oliver’s POV “She graduated as Summa Cum Laude with the course of Business Management,” a smirk quickly drew beside my lips when I heard that information. Business Management, huh? That's the usual course of all the assassins and gangsters in this world. Well, mostly, the heirs and heiress. Probably, it is to prepare them in handling the business of their clans. But hell, she was the Summa Cum Laude. That is hard to achieve. “Where did she study?” The more I got to know about her, the more she piqued my interest. “Harvard,” my lips parted with amusement. “She's really something,” I muttered. “Their business is furniture. They are designing and making one. But right now, it's not in good condition either,” Jaylor’s face crumpled when he mentioned that. This damn man is my second hand. I could trust him more than trusting Otis—who is my brother. “She’s handling that now. Also, she's a good shooter—like you, she's also good at using daggers and swords. She does boxing,

Chapter 3Adira’s POV “What if I hire you as my personal bodyguard?” I asked, trying to make a great deal with Louis right here. His brows arched before he quickly shook his head, declining my offer without even giving it a thought. I rolled my eyes at him and lost my hope. “I'm the head of you people, Ms. Sanchez. Besides, your father won't agree, you know that well.” My face crumpled as I frowned. “I just can't trust anyone,” yeah, I have trust issues now and they cannot blame me for that. My father was betrayed and as a result, our clan is at its lowest point. Second, there have been a lot of spies lingering around us. It would be hard for me to hire someone and trust him. What if he is just acting up until he gets my trust and then, viola, he would eventually attack as, too. “Adira, we will make sure that whoever you will hire is qualified and trustworthy. I got you,” he winked at me as if he was telling me that I can trust whoever he will find for me. “Hey, the applicants

Chapter 4
Chapter 4I was taking huge steps as I marched out of there. I headed to the kitchen, grabbed a bottle of water and drank it at once as if I hadn't drunk water for a week. “Woah, are you upset?” Ace asked when I crumpled the bottle while chasing my breathing. “How can't she? That guy defeated her. Take note, he's an ordinary guy and yet she lose ove hi—”“I can also cut your tongue, Louis.” He lost all his words when I threw my gaze at him, giving him my deadly eyes. “Chill. Maybe he's just really good. Besides, that's a good thing. You want a stronger bodyguard, right?” Whatever Ace tells me to make me feel better, I just can't accept the fact that I lost over that guy. My pride is fucking shrinking! “Tell me about him,” now, he captured my interest towards him. “Well, his name is Chase Montereal. He's the same age as you and he worked as a Manager of a restaurant before. That's all I gathered,” Louis said as he simply shrugged. “What? He doesn't have any background in fighting

Chapter 5
Chapter 5“The Coraldes are behind it. I'm sure of it,” Ace said while we were in a meeting. I was only staring at the presentation in front, sitting calmly on my swivel chair, while we were discussing and planning the things that will help us to go back on our own feet.“We have a budget to cover the damages of the company,” Louis added. A small smirk drew beside my lips. I quickly shook my head, disagreeing about that. “We're not going to pay for it,” I said firmly. Now, all their eyes were glued at me. “What are you planning?” Ace knows me very well. He didn't have to ask what I exactly mean as he knows that I have a different plan. “The Coraldes will pay for it. Three million is enough,” my brows raised as I glanced at the pictures of our company. It was a total mess and damaged when the attack happened. “Idiots,” I muttered. “They really thought that I was there?” I chuckled unbelievably. “They want your head. What do you expect? Of course they will do everything to kill

Chapter 6
Chapter 6“Fix it. When I come back, I want it done as if nothing happened.” I said clearly to Ace. He's the one helping me in handling our business. “Got it,” he winked, before getting the money we got from the Coraldes. “Fuck, the blood stinks.” Louis commented, disgusted to me. I rolled my eyes at him before I glanced at Chase outside, washing his hand. “He did his job very well,” Louis commented when he noticed that I was looking at him.“He didn't,” I replied. “I told him not to protect me.”Louis chuckled. “Are you crazy? He's your bodyguard, in case you forget.” “And I am his boss. He does what I say,” I said and turned my back from him. I grabbed the alcohol and the first aid kit before I headed towards his direction. He was washing his hands while his face remained blank. Is he fucking numb? How can't he feel any pain?“Adi—”“FUCK!” He exclaimed in surprise, when I poured the alcohol on his hand. Now, I finally saw pain from his face unlike earlier. “At least I know t

Chapter 7
Chapter 7“It is included in the rule that they cannot kill someone, unless it is their opponent in the battle.” Ace read aloud the rules that are attached to the invitation that I received. “I won't die, Ace.” I simply replied, sounding bored and not even worried. Why would I get worried? I know that I can defeat whoever would be my opponent. “Adira, we still have choices to raise your clan. Let's not take this risk and put your life on the edge,” I quickly chuckled when Louis said that. It was like a joke to me. “Are you serious? Since the day we were born in this kind of life, our lives are already on the edge of death,” I shook my head to the two of them. They both turned silent as they knew that I was telling the truth. “How about your father? He won't allow you,” Louis is still pushing me not to go.“That's right. I'm sure Dad won't agree with this,” Ace added. They are both trying to convince me not to go.“He doesn't have to know,” I replied. “He's out of this. This is my

Chapter 8
Chapter 8“OUCH! WHAT THE HELL?!” Ace creamed deafeningly after I kicked his stomach. I was covered with sweat under the rays of the sun from above, chasing my breath. We are in the garden, doing training. I have to work myself out with the upcoming Mask Battle. “I am your brother!” He exclaimed again, still lying down on the ground, with his hand placed on his stomach. His face was crumpled, greeting his teeth simultaneously. “I got carried away,” I replied as I grabbed the bottled water on the table. I sat there for a while and hid from the sun. “Really? Look at Nathan,” Louis commented and showed me Nathan's face. I bit my lower lip and shrugged. “I was sure that my fist landed gently.” “It surely didn't,” Nathan uttered. “I have to train myself harder. As you said, that battle is not easy. Whoever would be my opponent, I have to win no matter what if I still want to live.” That battle should never be my death. “I give up. I don't want to be your punching bag for your prep

Chapter 9
Chapter 9For a moment, I felt like I was dying when I forgot how to breathe. My eyes were pinned on Chase who was half-naked in front of me. The water was still dripping down from his soaked hair, down to his well-built body. We have a huge space between us, but I could smell his manly and addictive scent, fresh from the bath. To be honest, he looks so clean and fresh. I don't know if it is because he is still soaked from taking a shower, the reason why his entire body was sparkling in my eyes, or he is naturally like this. “U-Uhm…” I crumpled my hands when I stuttered. All my words vanished and I could not find any to tell him. I could not imagine what I look like right now; I regret barging in. “The training…we should start now,” I quickly looked away from him. When I did, I felt like I suddenly remembered how to breathe properly. I bit my lower lip in secrecy while I could feel my chest throbbing.“Oh, yeah. I was just preparing. Do you want to wait here? I will just dress up
