CHAPTER 1
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Sofia jolted up from her bed at the sound of her alarm clock going off, she rubbed her eyes and sighed as she clicked the alarming ring off. She stretched her body for five minutes before swinging her body from the bed and straight to the floor. Sofia walked to her full-length mirror and examined her body, another scare added on her body from all her adventures. She hated that every time she needed to take a bath, she would have to look at her body.
This part of her was hidden, her emotions were hidden, Sofia only ever showed herself to one person and even that until this day felt like a mistake. He saw her at her weakest, and she never wanted anyone knowing her weakness. Sofia turned away from the mirror and walked into her bathroom. She turned on the tap and full her bathtub with warm water. She immediately stripped from her clothes and soaked her body into the tub.
The morning was the only time she could give herself therapy because the moment she stepped out of her room, that’s when time for herself would fly out of the window and she would return to her usual robot and strict self. Sofia finished her bath and dressed in all black body suit and walked out of her room, straight into the corridor. Her black badge with gold lines shinned brightly as she continued to walk down the corridor until she reached the doors of the cafeteria and stood still, watching the people move around, eat food, and talk to each other.
“Grim reaper.” Sofia said as she placed her hand on the door scanner.
“Access granted.’ A voice responded and the doors opened for Sofia. She stepped inside the cafeteria and instantly all eyes were on her, the room grew quiet as she walked by to pick up a tray for food. Sofia took her food and moved to seat with her crew, that’s when everyone returned to their conversation and food.
“Captain, you are late today.” Alex said as he munched on the food on his plate.
“I don’t remember owing you anything Alex, is there something you wanted from me?” Sofia asked him as she stopped to stare at him dead in the face.
“Who put a stick up your ass Sofia?” Alexia asked, the only person to ever call Sofia by her name and speak to her freely since her appointment as captain seven years ago.
“Okay, can we not get into a heated argument this time of the day?” Becca spoke up as she raised her arms in the air as a sign to surrender.
‘I agree with Becca, can we please keep the reputation that we all get along well.” O’Brian interjected.
“We don’t need to keep up anything because we already get along well together. I just can’t say the same about Alexia.” Ronda said as she snorted in irritation.
“Are we going to start it here because I’m reader to take you on baggage.” Alexia said angrily.
‘Why don’t you all quiet down, play nice and resume all your frustration on the training grounds? I am trying to eat my food and all your voices are drowning the taste of my food.” Sofia said looking at them in complete irritation.
“Now that’s something I can agree with.” Wyatt finally spoke up and Mica nodded besides him in agreement. The table grew quiet, and everyone returned to eating their breakfast. At that moment the doors to the cafeteria opened and the Elite guards stood at the door with a grace-pad in hand.
“An announcement, all please pay attention.” One of the guards said as he waited for every to stay still so he can speak. People in the cafeteria finally stopped eating, turned to give the guards their full attention.
“Grim reaper, captain of the Death Squad you are to meet Master Carlos at 10:am.” The guard said as he slide his finger across the pad and spoke again.
‘Blade runner, captain of the Killer Squad you are to meet Master Carlos at 11:am.” Blade runner rolled his eyes and looked away from the guard speaking.
“Terminator, captain of the Blood Squad you are to meet Master Carlos at 12:00pm.” Terminator nodded with a smile on her face looking rather happy to see the Master.
“Extinguisher, captain of the War Squad you are to meet Master Carlos at 13:00pm.” The guard finally finished and put the grace-pad on his side, they saluted and walked out of the cafeteria.
Sofia sighed clearly annoyed that they were being summoned again, she wasn’t in the mood to exchange words with that annoying old man but it’s not like she had a choice.
“I’ll be off now, remember that we meet at the training grounds in one hour, make sure none of you are late or they will be hell to pay for.” Sofia said as she stood from her seat and looked at them as they all nodded in agreement besides Alexia. She decided that she was not going to deal with her attitude now, but she would surely punish her cockiness later.
Sofia continued to walk away, leaving her tray on the counter, and walking out of the cafeteria and the direction straight to Master Carlos’ office. She reached the office, knocked once, and didn’t wait for a response and she opened his door and walked in.
“Well, why don’t you make yourself at home?” Master Carlos said as he took a sip of his whiskey.
“Don’t you think it is a little too early for alcohol?” Sofia asked, taking a seat in front of Master Carlos.
“There is never a better time drink alcohol, for me I gave even drink alcohol in my sleep.”
“What do you want Carlos?” Sofia questioned.
“You know that you and Alexia have very funny characters. Only you two dare to speak to me in such a manner.” Master Carlos said and took another sip before putting the glass back on the table.
“It is what it is don’t you think? I’ll ask you again, what you want? Sofia asked again, getting impatient with all the suspense.
“The higher ups have a big job that needs to be taken care off, so we are evaluating the captain’s to see which time has the best fit for the job.”
“They are always demanding something.” Sofia said looking at Master Carlos to continue.
“I personally think you guys will make it.” Master Carlos said with confidence.
“What fish do we have to fry Carlos?”
“The one and only, notorious Mafia Don in Orthus. Don Russo.” Master Carlos said with a hint of glitter in his eyes.
Kara sighed because she knew that planning the perfect plan will be hell and might take weeks because they will be going up against an entire Mafia, “Since were done I’ll be off.” Kara said and left Carlos in the room with his words and thoughts.

Sofia left Master Carlos’ office feeling very uneasy. She always welcomed big jobs but lately it seemed like their targets were more prepared when they came to assassinate their targets. She could feel her brain calculating the odds that there was a spy in their mist, and she was ready to find out who is behind all their troubles. Sofia walked down the hallway and came face-to-face the Blade Runner, captain of the killer squad.“Sofia…” He said dragging her name on his lips.“Adrian, don’t you look glad to see me.” Sofia said as she stepped back to take a good look at his face because he was taller than her.“You have been avoiding me these days, everyone can see it.” He said with a disturbed expression on his face, something he always did when he was upset about something.“When did you start caring about what people say? I didn’t take you for that type.” Sofia said, sounding very a

“Please spare me, I didn’t mean to betray you, please.” The man cried as his face was bloody and unrecognisable. “I wonder if that’s what came to your mind when you were leaking information about my organisation.” A man seated on a chair in front of the bleeding man said with a breezy voice. “I swear I had no choice they told me if I didn’t do it, they would kill my entire family, spare me boss please.” The man pleaded for his life as he dropped his head on the ground, his sobbing mixed with his cracking voice from lack of water. “I know the feeling for losing a loved one, but what pisses me off is that you were afraid of someone else’s threat rather than your own boss.” The man on the chair said as he stood up from it and walked towards the bleeding man and crouched to his level. “Boss, I must have been out of my mind. You are scarier than they were.” The man said and grabbed the man in charge by the legs and continued cry. The boss shock the

Alexia and many others were in the training grounds today, she personally liked the punching bag in the corner because she didn’t have to interact with others.She spent most of her time in this specific corner and punched away until she felt she couldn’t go on. Alexia wasn’t in the mood to deal with the squad, so she had made sure to skip breakfast and as she came straight down to the training grounds, where everyone had arrived after finishing their breakfast.Alexia was known as the meanest in their squad but all she ever wanted was to be recognised for her skills. She hated being vice-captain as much as she hated being second place at everything to Sofia. Alexia couldn’t remember the last time she had an unaggressive conversation with her.All sorts of angry thoughts and jealousy were the tools that kept her motivated and pushed her over her limits. Alexia couldn’t understand why Adrian wasted his time trying to love Sofia when

Sofia was fuming with anger because Alexia chose to disrespect her authority in front of everyone. She should have known better than to accept a challenge issued by a captain from another team. Alexia is lucky that she had interfered because Sofia has faced Bianca before and knew how dirty she fought and when she would execute a deadly blow. Sofia was on her way to the hallway for all the captain’s bedroom when she heard hurrying footsteps behind her until the hand touched her right shoulder. Sofia stopped and slightly turned her head to look at the person who dared touch her without her permission, only to see Adrian. “What do you want Adrian?’ Sofia asked him, as she turned to fully face him. “Sofia, why did you have to do that?’ He asked her. “What are you referring too?’ Sofia threw the question right back at him knowing exactly what he wanted to hear from her. Adrian sighed as his hands rose to hold Sofia on her shoulders. “I know she bro

Alice was down at the home gym punching the punching bag. Although her brother is a Don, he had made it clear that he didn’t want her in that life. Alice felt that they were just a bunch of sexist people because they felt she was too soft to handle a fight. Giovanni’s mafia did not have any females, according to him it was unnecessary because they would be of great inconvenience. Alice thought it was bullshit because she believed that women could do a lot of things easier than men. She continued to punch the bag, but her punches did not have much of an impact. The door to the gym suddenly open and Antonio walked in and spotted her. She turned around at the sound of the door opening and saw her brother, Alice sighed at his presence and turned back to her punching. “You are never going to improve with such small blows.” Antonio said in a mocking tone. “You and Gio are probably happy about that.” Alice said frustrated. “Alice, you know that Gio just want

The woman who easily and skilfully killed those four men quickly fled from the scene after telling the two woman who hide it was clear to come out. Alice and Ashely emerged from their hiding spot. Ashely was shaking from witnessing such a sight, while Alice was shocked that, that woman could kill four big guys so easily without needing a gun. “Ma’am did you see what I saw?” Ashley said as her body shock violently. “I did but please don’t worry my brother will be here in no time.” Alice said, trying to calm down. They both walked closer to the scene and there was blood splatter everywhere. Alice did not know if she could clean up this blood or not before the police showed up. She did not know what she would tell them so all she could hope for is for Gio to get here first before the police. “What do we do? Do we clean up here or wait for the police? What if we get framed for this?” Ashley said and stuttered at the same time. “Get a hold of yourself damn

ONE DAY BEFORESofia stormed out of Master Carlos’s room upset that she got dragged into all of this drama. Bianca looked shaken for an assassin and Alexia for the first time actually felt guilty after hearing what the punishment is. She jogged after Sofia to offer an apology she swore would not come from her mouth, but she was afraid that if she did not do so her position on the team would be compromised.“Captain…” Alexia said as her hand touched Sofia’s shoulder to stop her from walking.“Get your hands off me Alexia.” Sofia said as she turned to look at Alexia. Bianca rolled her eyes at them and continued down the hallway without throwing a comment for the first time.“Please accept my apology.” Alexia said as she attempted to kneel.“Don’t bother Alexia. You do not need to show me respect when the mess has already happened. Sometimes I wonder if you really deserve my respect. I

PRESENT DAYTinx23 JULX 3050Sofia and the squad were back at their base after cutting their shopping trip short. She taught to herself that she was mad for having considered to go out after the punishment she received yesterday. Bianca and Alexia could hardly move properly but here she was parading about.Sofia was in pain alright, but she kept the pain hidden so not to satisfy Madam Lee. She hated that woman and that woman hated her just as much. She walked quickly so that nobody could stop and talk to her because she was not in the mood for socialising with anyone. Unfortunately, Sofia was not in luck because she came face to face with Master Carlos, who looked like a hurt puppy. She wanted to ignore him, but she knew she could not because he was her superior.Sofia stared at him and proceeded to bow her head in respect and greeted him civilly.“Good day, Master Carlos.” Sofia said with no hint of emotion in her tone.

Sofia awoke to the faint light of dawn creeping through the small window in her room, her body still aching but no longer burning with the searing pain from the capsule. The remnants of the drug lingered in her veins, leaving her weak, but she felt stronger than the night before. The haze that had clouded her mind had lifted, replaced by a sharp awareness of her surroundings.She shifted slightly in bed, her movements slow and deliberate. Her muscles protested with every effort, but she managed to sit up. As her eyes adjusted to the dim light, she noticed Alex sitting at the foot of her bed, slumped in a chair, his head resting against the wall. He must have stayed the entire night, she thought, her gaze softening for a brief moment.The exhaustion on his face was clear, even in his sleep. She didn’t want to wake him, but there were matters to attend to. They had lost precious time, and now they needed to prepare. Don Russo wasn’t going to wait for them to recover.With a quiet sigh,

Alex kept his arm firmly around Sofia's waist as they made their way through the maze of corridors, his grip steady despite the turmoil swirling inside him. Sofia's breathing had become shallow, each step a clear strain as the effects of the capsule took full hold. She was trembling slightly, her body fighting against the drug that was sapping her strength.Sofia hated this. Every inch of her body ached with the betrayal of her own muscles, the burning sensation spreading like wildfire through her veins. She tried to focus on walking, to maintain some semblance of control, but each step felt heavier than the last. Her vision blurred, and she stumbled, her weight shifting precariously into Alex's arms."Easy," Alex murmured, tightening his grip to steady her. His voice was soft, but there was a tension there—worry he couldn’t hide."Don't... don't treat me like I'm helpless," Sofia muttered, her voice weaker than she intended. She didn’t want him, or anyone for that matter, to see her l

The tension in the room was suffocating as Sofia struggled to maintain her composure. Her body was weakening quickly, but her mind was still sharp enough to catch the subtle glances and whispers among the assassins in the hall. She could feel the weight of their distrust bearing down on her. They were looking for a flaw, a crack in her defences that would confirm their suspicions.Alex stood close by, his arms crossed as he kept his eyes locked on Alexis. The venom in her gaze hadn’t lessened, and it was clear she wasn’t convinced that Sofia’s return was as simple as it appeared. The tension between them was palpable, an unspoken challenge hanging in the air, waiting for someone to make the first move.Master Carlos, sensing the brewing conflict, stood from his seat and walked toward Sofia. His expression was calm, but his eyes carried the weight of years spent leading assassins—he had seen betrayals, mistakes, and death far too often. He stopped just a few feet in front of her, his ga

It was time for Alex and Sofia to depart and they were still not talking. Arthoro did not know how they would pull this off if they were still not talking to each other. He was standing outside to see them off because it felt like it would be the last time, he saw them.“Why are you seeing as off Arthoro?” Sofia asked with a frown on her face.“Is that bad? It can’t be as bad as you two not getting along” Arthoro replied with a bright smile.“Stop that.” Sofia frowned more while Alex just whined at the driver’s seat.“What are you talking about?” Arthoro said, playing dumb“Why are you smiling like that?” Sofia asked.“Time is very precious, so can we be on the road already? We don’t want someone spotting you here.” Alex finally spoke up. Arthoro kept his mouth shut and his lips formed a straight line.“Until we meet again.” Sofia muttered as she entered the car and Alex drove away. Alex’s car windows were tinted so nobody could see them as they drove through the streets.“How long?” S

“What kind of allies are we talking?” Alexis asked as she finally sat down. “The kind that would back you back even if you have no hope left for the future.” Madam Lee said with another smirk. “Can you stop speaking in riddles and just tell me what you want already!” Alexis was upset and this conversation was nit helping her current state at all. “Why do you act like you are stupid Alexis? We will have a gathering with potential people soon because as far as I am concerned. You will not win this trial against Alex.” Madam Lee leaned back on her chair. “Why not?” Alexis asked, feeling a little offended. “Why do you think he was so bold to speak up today?” “Isn’t he always this bold?” Madam Lee sighed as she rose from the chair. “Do you really believe that is the only reason for his actions? Why are you behaving like you have no common sense at all?” Madam Lee added as she moved around the office. “I think it would be easier if you just told me what the problem really is instead o

“Exactly what I mean Madam Lee. Sometimes Alexis doesn’t think with her head, so how can she lead a team of assassin’s with just a trait.” Alex said truthfully not just because this was Sofia’s plan, but he genuinely thought that she still had a long way before she could lead anyone. “Alex, you have never liked my presence in the team, and you are taking this opportunity to slander me.” Alexis said angrily. “I have to agree with Alex there, he is more of a right-hand man than you are to your captain Alexis.” Bianca said and everyone moved their head’s around to see where she was speaking from. “Thank you, Bianca.” Alex said and sat down. “From everyone’s observation of Alex, do you agree with his opinion?” Master Carlos asked the audience. “I have to agree with Alex too because we all saw that he was the best candidate for vice-captain but unfortunately Alexis stole that position.” Max the captain from the War Squad said confidently.

Alex had finished his conversation with Sofia and had even watched her eat before leaving her in the car of Arthoro. He disliked the idea but right now only he could help her until she started feeling much better. As soon as he got far away from Sofia’s home and made sure no one would piece anything together, he turned back his tracker. Alex was speeding through the streets and transports until he finally reached the academy again.He scanned his hand so the door could open.“Access granted, welcome home Alex.” The computer-generated voice said before the door opened for him and he walked in. He was a little late for Alexis interrogation trial, but he knew that they would start with him. He wasn’t wrong there because it seemed like they, themselves were running late when he walked through the door of the trial room. His squad members seemed relieved to see him walk through the room because they had been calling him but because he d

Giovanni was still very upset and the air around them was still very tense. Bernie felt like he was going to suffocate because Ava and Giovanni were glaring daggers at each other.To clear the air he coughed before speaking, “I will have to apologise on behalf of my partner, she is a little tense today.” Bernie said with a forced smile.“At least your partner has manners. Now, let us get right down to the reason you are actually here for. What do you want from me?” Giovanni said as he waited for one of the detectives to speak. Ava looked like she wanted to talk but Bernie decided he was going to beat her too it or else they wouldn’t get anywhere today.“Mr Russo, we want to ask you a few questions about what happened at the gala.” Bernie asked as he pulled out his small note pad.“Nothing special really.” Giovanni said and smirked purposefully as he directed it at Ava. “Answer

Alex had already arrived at Sofia’s place, and he was sitting on the couch, watching her sleep soundly. For as long as he has known her she hardly slept so peaceful, so he decided to take this opportunity to admire her peaceful face. Alex was beyond relieved when Arthoro called last night to tell him that she was okay. Even though Sofia has rejected his affection for her countless of times, he still values her life more than anything. He knew for a fact that if she had not been found, he was going to make Alexis pay because she was the one who caused the mess in the first place. Sofia wined and groaned while her eyes were still closed, and Alex quickly stood up so he could see if she was in any kind of pain. He rushed onto the bed, trying his very best not to wake her but he failed miserably because she suddenly jolted from the bed, hand aiming at his throat, but he managed to stop her just in time. “I was so wrong about you sleeping peacefully. You almost ki
