"How do you know, Miss?""You can leave early." Ruby did not answer the question from the new maid in front of her. What she heard, and what she saw, could not be said out loud. To be a loyal maid of high rank, Ruby had to keep everything a secret.Zella was curious about Ruby's words, the old woman seemed to know a lot about Mike. Did Ruby also witness Mike's murder? Zella continued to think along the way back, she didn't come straight to the headquarters, Zella went back to her apartment first.Zella got out of the taxi and took out a few bills. Arriving at her apartment, Zella didn't waste any more time. She quickly changed her clothes and quickly left the apartment, getting into one of her cars.Zella stopped in front of her headquarters. She quickly placed her finger to open the access door of the headquarters. Zella immediately saw all her colleagues in full dress, bulletproof uniforms, and weapons at the ready."What's going on?" Zella was still confused by such a sudden thing
Another shot rang out, not from the three of them but from someone shooting at Zella."Argh!" Zella held her bleeding arm.Zella turned her body; her eyes went straight to the owner of the same light brown colored eyes as her. They were both shocked, but more shocked that the man in front of her had dropped the gun in his hand."Queenzella is my daughter."The man's words managed to make Diandra and Audrey fall silent. They did not expect Zella's father to be Gabriel Van Osch's right-hand man.Markus Persson."Haven't seen you in a while..." Zella said something that hurt her feelings.Almost eighteen years. Zella had never seen Markus play a fatherly role in her life. Markus wiped out her mother's property, brutally beat her mother, and tortured her like an animal. Zella was a silent witness that her birth was just a burden for Markus until he left she and her mother.Zella raised her handgun and pointed the trigger at Markus. Her smile was so vast; she would have been happy if she h
Zella came to the funeral with a white tulip in her hand. She placed the tulips on a swirl of earth bearing the name 'GABRIEL ANTONIO.' Zella did not come to Gabriel Van Osch's funeral. Instead, she came to the funeral of her ex-boyfriend, Gabriel Antonio.With her sunglasses on, Zella stares intently at the still-wet vortex. Today, Gabriel, the man with no relationship with Gabriel Van Osch, was buried."I apologize." Zella said her apology after she killed Gabriel."Hate me as much as you can, take your revenge when I go to hell.""Everything is still in my heart... Thank you for telling me that you love me." Zella wiped her tears; she had loved Gabriel 10 years before. Gabriel was the first love of Queenzella's life.Zella turned her body to leave the cemetery. She only came to visit Gabriel, not Markus Persson. Markus would be cremated and sent back to New York, where the man had a new family. And maybe Markus had a daughter and another child. Zella didn't want to know! For her, M
"Why are you so stubborn!" Kenneth snapped at Zella, who was already nearing the exit."I apologize, sir." Zella bowed her head.Kenneth approached Zella quickly. Holding both of Zella's cheeks and kissing Zella's lips gently, Kenneth could not let Zella leave him. These few nights, Kenneth didn't sleep well. He always looked at the clock on the wall, and when would the time change to seven in the morning every day? This morning, seven o'clock, was hard for Kenneth. Time flew by until, in the afternoon, Kenneth had to see Zella in this state."Kenneth." Zella caught her breath after Kenneth broke their kiss."You, I can't let you go.""See you tomorrow." Zella did not answer Kenneth's words, but instead, she opened the door and walked out as if nothing had happened between them.Kenneth was silent. Kenneth couldn't figure out the contents of Zella's head, which was very strange; Kenneth thought his kiss had succeeded in holding Zella's departure. But completely unexpectedly, Zella lef
"Are you sure you want to go? Just postpone it until your wound heals." Hearing Zella's call that she was returning to work this morning, Audrey was also worried."Until when? I can't put it off too long. It's been two days...""Are you okay?""Yeah. I'm fine... Death won't get me down." Zella closed her eyes. Honestly, Zella didn't remember the incident; her entire eyes were closed, so there wasn't that much pain when the bastard was killed."Good! I like your firm attitude... Then how are your wounds?""My wounds have also improved... Did you forget, sis? I almost died in a gunshot during my first mission, too." Zella will never forget the painful incident where she almost died because the hot lead nearly hit her heart."Yeah, I know you're stubborn! You're way more stubborn than me and Diandra.""I love you, my Leader.""Owh shit! It's disgusting that I have to say this to Leonard, that you love me.""Your husband will kill me."Zella switched off the phone and returned her attenti
"Excuse me." Zella poked her head and left Mike's room.Misfortune struck again when Zella walked out of Mike's room. She was met with a pair of cold gray eyes belonging to Kenneth; the man stared at Zella without a smile. Zella also felt awkward to say something before she was told Kenneth had already passed. It was as if the man didn't see her.Kenneth pulled his tie roughly. He tore off his shirt and left only the cloth pants hanging down his hips; Kenneth clenched his hands tightly. His emotions had come to a head; why the hell did the woman he liked sell herself to his asshole brother!Kenneth punched the glass of the living room table until it shattered. Not only did Kenneth vent his anger, but he punched the glass many times without feeling any pain.Kenneth lay on the marble floor next to the fireplace, which seemed to be burning wood and causing a large fire. But it wasn't the wood and the fire that Kenneth was talking about. It was a matter of the ashes that were the last th
Dealova first set foot in Italy. Last time, exactly three years ago, Dealova visited Italy to perform a ballet show in one of the biggest theaters in the country. But today, Dealova didn't come to do her job.Dealova goes through airport screening. She pulls back a small suitcase with only two to three pieces of clothing, the plan being to visit a mansion owned by her father's friend. There was a big reason why Dealova was coming to that mansion.To pick up her father's cremated ashes. Her father's ashes, Markus Persson, were kept in an urn brought by Zaverio Christopher, the wealthiest businessman in Italy. Dealova waited at the airport, sunglasses on, wanting to go by taxi. Unfortunately, that was forbidden by her father's friend. Zaverio said he had ordered someone to pick Dealova up at the airport.A black Rubicon pulled up in front of Dealova. Dealova still doesn't want to look at the car, but suddenly, the windshield opens, and a slightly visible head stares at Dealova."Dealova
"Stop eavesdropping; get back to work." Ruby removed her hand from Zella's wrist.Zella still didn't want to leave. Now, she was much more curious about who the woman named Dealova was; their last names were the same. Queenzella Persson, Dealova Persson—are Dealova's father and Zella, the same person?"What are you doing here?" Mike's voice returned to Zella's ears, but Zella didn't bother. Instead, she pulled Mike's hand and hid it behind her body, covering Mike's mouth with her hand."Shut up!" Zella warned Mike with her sharp gaze.Mike nodded and rubbed Zella's hand. Zella quickly pulled her hand away from Mike's mouth. Zella's eyes refocused on the two humans, still talking to each other."Where are my father's ashes, Mr. Zaverio?"Zella overheard the conversation between Dealova and Mr. Big again."You knew him?" Mike whispers in Zella's ear; his exhale makes Zella momentarily unfocused."No," Zella answered Mike again."She's Dealova Persson, daughter of Markus Persson, who jus
