"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
3 years later."Luis. Have you studied all the files?" someone asked, adjusting the glasses that framed his face."I have Mr. Christopher," Luis replied steadily with a nodding head."Good Luis. You'll be in charge for the next few months," said Kenneth taking off his glasses and placing them in a box and storing them in a drawer.Kenneth stood up from his desk chair and went into the room. Within minutes, the cold face reappeared in a different suit. No longer in a shirt suit, and also that boring expensive suit. Kenneth appeared wearing jeans and a leather jacket complete with sunglasses."How do I look?" asked Kenneth, putting one hand into the pocket of his leather jacket. Staring at Luis with a haughty face with his sunglasses slightly lowered, Kenneth's appearance looked perfect having dyed his hair jet black. "Mr---" Luis' words were cut off as Kenneth raised five fingers to stop him."No Luis. Don't say I'm not fit to look like this, 33 years old is the time to exude the matu
Everyone at the center of the secret agent division was again surprised by Queenzella's return. The news of her return as a secret agent caused pros and cons, some gave her praise for the disguise Zella did to sacrifice so much to complete the mission. And some showed hatred which was a sign of envy because, they couldn't do as well as Zella and her division."What's going on, the youngest heroine is here," said a large man staring intently at Zella. The booming voice of one of the other division leaders who came with a haughty face. As well as his dismissive gaze, Zella didn't take the slightest offense and even walked past him. Did she have to answer the question of an old man barking for praise, unfortunately that didn't apply to her.Zella continued to walk past the many people staring at her. She only focused on the front, a room that was her destination point for stepping back into a place that was full of curses for her. Zella knocked on the door slowly, until she got an answe
Another heavy inhale was heard as it was exhaled along with the smoke billowing in the air. The cigarette is still clutched between delicate fingers with a blank stare at the sea. Zella was there trying to fight the noise in her head. The sound of the waves crashing against the rocks celebrated her heartbreak, Zella just smiled a little and took one last drag on her cigarette before putting it out. Not only was she thinking about her feelings. But she also thought about what retaliation she would do to Mikequel. Today it is certain that Mike is wanted by the police, Zella has submitted all the evidence she wants. Those who have won the mission by proving Mikequel Cristopher is the mastermind of the serial murders over the past year. But Zella would not let Mike be arrested by the police, Mike's business was only Zella who would solve it. Her cell phone rang instantly, she reached into her pocket to check for the caller and answered the call quickly."Hello.""Zella where are you rig
Eyes closed hands clenched tightly. With his head slightly raised Mike was holding back his anger, it wasn't the only time bad luck had happened to him lately, he had received another rejection but was still trying to negotiate with the person on the other end of the line. They were the place where Mike had been getting his supply of drugs for the past three years, but this was the first time they had returned the money he gave them to cancel his drug shipment."I'll give you double the original agreement. Give the goods to me.""Sorry again. The big master still refuses to give it to you.""Fuck! What's going on?""We're not selling for the time being and some time in the future.""Then where am I going to get it from if not from you!""No need to worry Mr. Christopher. I'll introduce you to someone I know, but they sell face-to-face.""Why do you have to meet. I don't care! Just introduce him to me, and I'll send someone else to pick him up.""If that's the case, I'm sorry you won't
PRANG!The glass shattered against the wall. Mike threw it angrily. His eyes were red with intoxication, having gulped down almost two bottles of the golden-colored liquid. With his shirt only covering his back, Mike fell back on the sofa with his head up.He was back at Christopher's Mension and had been making a mess since last night. The servants only peeked out from behind the walls, afraid to show their faces as they could be the target of the young master's wrath."Stop peeping at me!" scolded Mike with his eyes closed.Not at the Villa and not at the mension. Every place felt unsafe to him, every corner like someone was stalking him. Mike hated that, whoever was behind all the terror he was receiving. Mike would make sure they died at his hands and drank their blood, the sad face and jet black mane that touched the nape of his neck had a piercing gaze, and the fine hair that grew along his jaw, the youngest son of Zaverio Christopher was devastated. It had only been two weeks s
Sunlight filtered through Zella's window curtains. She was still staring at the apartment door; Kenneth had returned from the evening in the morning. She tried contacting Kenneth many times, but none of the calls and messages got an answer.Was she too selfish? She hurt Kenneth's feelings too much.After thinking for a long time, there was no use in feeling regret for so long, and Zella had to go back to being herself. Hasn't she said from the beginning that no love can influence solving all her affairs? Now that her words have come true without Kenneth, Zella will still finish everything.She picked up her cell phone and dialed someone. Only one person in her agency had strong enough connections, so Zella hoped her leader, Audrey, could help her, even though it was unlikely."Hello Audrey, I need your help.""Tell me what you need.""Can I come to your place? Or meet you outside.""I can no longer go out Zella. Leonard forbade me, just come to the Mension.""Alright wait I'll be righ
"Just tie it tight!" commanded Dealova, despite the pain as the ballet corset was tightened.Dealova held on, clinging to the wall with her eyes forced shut. Her belly had begun to grow. The pregnancy that she had to hide to keep performing on the theater stage."Dealova, are you sure you want to perform?" said one of Dealova's ballet partners who had noticed her condition."I'm very sure! No one can stop me from performing." Dealova stood tall in her ballet outfit. He looked at the reflection of his face and posture, nothing had changed so far. Her stomach was a little tight but Dealova was confident that she could endure the pain and would soon get used to it."Your baby." "Shut up Cia! I own this body. I'm the one who feels," Dealova retorted with sarcasm.Dealova walked out of the dressing room. She was hanging out with the rest of the ballet, they would be performing in a few minutes. Everyone was warming up while Dealova was sitting on a wooden chair lacing up her ballet shoes.
Ting TongThe bell rang. Mike, who was alone in the Villa, got up and walked towards the door. He would not easily open the door for just anyone, Mike looked at the intercom screen and looked at the courier who came with the package. But he clearly hadn't ordered anything, so after making sure, Mike opened the door."In the name of Mikequel Christoper?" the courier read the recipient's name once again."Who's the package from?" asked Mike, receiving a large box. "Queenzella," said the courier again reading the sender's name.Mike was surprised and immediately took the package after signing for it. He looked to the left and right of the Villa, looking for someone who might be hiding nearby. Mike carried the box, walked into the living room, and placed the large box on the glass table."Who used your name to threaten me?" monologued Mike, taking the cutter and opening the box."Argh! Damn it!" cursed Mike who was shocked to see what was inside the box.A baby doll's head was covered in
Zella hides in the trunk of Kenneth's car. She had said earlier that she would not go to Zaverio's funeral, and Kenneth believed her. There was no other way but to lie to Kenneth, she couldn't just stay at home. Zella wanted to see Mike in person! Her next target."I hope I don't get caught," Zella closed her eyes, enduring the tightness of her curled-up body.****After traveling quite a distance from Zella's apartment. The car Kenneth drove arrived at the funeral home, bouquets and his father's important guests came to fill the room. He got off with a flat face, the first person he saw beside his father's coffin was Mikequel."You're back," Kenneth said without looking at Mike."Tell me. Who did this to Daddy?" Mike replied touching Kenneth's coat sleeve.Kenneth just stared blankly at Mike's hand touching his arm. After his father's death, Mike was no longer a brother. Because until now Mike's arrival was never expected by Kenneth! "Are you sure you didn't hug him?" Kenneth added,
