"Location reached, unit 1 is being dispatched" reported by one of my companions.
"Front liners, be ready" I said through the earpiece.
"Roger" they complied.
I sighed and rose from my seat to look at the monitor to familiarize everyone's position, this will be a tough one, no one knows who's our enemy now.
Not to mention that they took down dad's company and kept him hotaged, you can't really be the head of the clan that easily huh? I just hope that this will be successful.
My mom had her gps on so I know her moves, until I sense something big that's about to come, base on science and research, girls' instincts are quite possitive most of the time so I need to do this as quick as possible.
"General Belfour, do you sense what I sense?" I heard my mom muttered on the line, I gestured my ladies squad, they nod before standing up in sync and dismissed their selves while the boys took over the monitoring.
"I know mom, I'm heading out with my unit there" I clicked my tongue and handed my headset to the captain of the monitoring unit before walking out the room.
"Let's separate into two groups, Elena, you lead the other group, I want you girls to be here in five minutes" I ordered and they saluted at me before running off their quarters to change.
I rush back to my office and saw Drei reading his usual book, good thing, I smiled back at him as soon as he raised his head to me and smile.
"I'm needed to the grounds, you can go home early" I said and left a kiss on his cheek before entering my dressing room to change into my battle uniform.
"Isn't that a bit too risky?" He asked.
"It's always risky, Drei" I cracked a small smile even if he can't see it.
"Besides, Perry and the other's will be there to watch over me so you don't need to worry" I told him, he frowned, I walked out the dressing room and tied my hair into a low bun and faced him.
"I understand, I'll see you after then" he smiled, I hugged him.
I know he's still worried about me and this is not the first time that I've been sent on a missions like this, but this is the purpose of why I chose this path, I need to protect my family, my loved ones and this country.
Drei is always paranoid when I'm away so I need to assure him that I'll be coming home safe and sound, with no serious injuries as much as possible.
"I'll have some recuits escort you home, hmm?" I gave him a warm smile, he nod lightly, I swung a hand over his nape and pulled him down for a kiss.
"Je'taime" I told him.
"I love you too" he muttered, I smiled and picked up my gears in preparation to battle before leaving with my unit.
~
While on the ride towards the location, a veteran assassin left her team secretly and entered the said location, too suspicious as it already is, the house- mansion rather, stood there freely, no guards, no security, nothing.
She frowned for a tad bit upon the flashback flashing, showing her the life she was once part of and now she's at it again.
She hesitately pushed the backdoor open and was really frightened by horrible ambience from inside, no one was there to welcome her, but everything was dark, darker than she expected.
She then heard a noise from the center of the room, she sped up to reach it and when she reached the place- her eyes faltered on the dark themed living room were everyone was having a pleasant tea chatting happily.
Not that they're aware that a whole military is surrounding the place but what shocked her the most was her husband, sitting with them while telling sour jokes to his kidnappers.
"Oh! Honey! You're too early to fetch me dear" he grinned.
She clenched her fists and a quirk mark appeared my her forehead as she tried to calm down and not kill her husband.
'This piece of shxt... I didn't retire early on the military for this' she thought.
"Everyone was dxmn worried about you thinking you're dead and you're here?! Drinking tea ang throwing jokes on these people?! Listen up here you bxst*rd! I didn't finish off an entire terrorists for you to put shame on my name!" She scolded him and marched towards him but stopped on her tracks when the other man turned his chair to face her.
Dark swirling orbs, white pale skin, black hair, expensive clothing and accesories, cool figure, she didn't need to look back the past when she already figure out who it was.
"Well, well, well, you didn't tell me that your wife was my ex-fiancé..." he started.
Her blood ran cold as she froze in place, her husband just smirked and look at his wife adoringly, of course he would have to know what her life was before they got married.
"Nice to see you again hime-sama" he hummed and stand forth to reach for her hand and kissed the back of her palm.
"Dave John Alexander Salazar, a pleasent surprise indeed, thanks for not harming my husband" she grinned sarcasly.
"Eh? You're not intimidated by my pressence now?" He chuckled and stepped back before her ex-fiancé's husband could punch him hard.
"I've changed. I'm not your run away bride before who's too scared to be tied up with you" she rolled her eyes at him and they laughed.
Guess you've been lost eh? Well let me introduce you to Chrystell Louisa Mhorfell- Belfour, the youngest daughter of the most- not richest- but dangerous clan in the mafia world.
Known for her family being brutal at battles and gang wars, famous assassins also made it back their fort and became members and now, the Princess is back, after 27 years of running away from her dark past with these people.
She was about to reach for her earpiece to dismiss the whole military force when someone arrived, carrying a killer aura around them, her face narrowed at the dark hallway behind her.
"Looks like her senses are still active just like before" one chuckled deeply, her eyes widened once more.
"Still looking so gorgeous I bet the others would want to meet her again" the other sneered then her eyes landed at the oldest figure as he appeared in to the shadows with the other two following.
"Welcome back sister" a grin formed on their faces.
Her mouth parted as tears slowly blurred her sight from her older siblings, the people who watched her become powerful despite of their parents underestimating her kind soul, the people who always got her back and will always be, after running away and disappeared, they, and will always be, proud for their little sister.
"Okay there she goes again, great job Luke" the middle child groaned.
"Shut up Mike" the eldest complained as the youngest male appraoched his favorite sibling (obviously the only girl).
"Still remember me Stell?" He asked nicely, as if they were still 13 and 17 years old.
She slowly nod her head and smiled at her older brother.
"Of course, Zake. I missed you guys" even if everything is blurry from tears, she manage to walk up to the three and hugged them.
"You're already 57 but still looks the same before I left" she turn to the oldest sibling.
"I know" he smirked.
"Back then you were just 19 and now you're 46- how's your family now?" Mike asked.
"I have two beautiful daughters, one is 26 now- carrying my two grandchildren and my youngest is turning 23 on May, engaged, and you probably know my husband" she gestured towards the "hostage" who is drinking tea.
Her husband choked of his drink making the wife grin at his sudden karma, well as sadistic as she is.
"Ah yes, didn't know we'd be bumping up to you since Dave here asked for our help for his son to kidnap the father of his 'girlfriend' " Luke face palmed at the setting.
"You have a son?" She exclaimed at her ex-fiancé.
The said guy just raised his eyebrow at her, giving her a judgemental look as he set his cup down the table.
"What? You think you're the only girl in the world? I got married too you know" he bragged.
"I have a jolly, smart and loving- like her mother- eldest daughter and my son, her little brother who insist to find his first love than to marry another woman" he explained throughly to the situation.
"So, where's your daughter?" He asked directly to both parents, silencing the whole room.
"What are you talking about? Our daughters have their own relationships now, and I don't even remember them getting into a relationship without me knowing" her husband stated.
Dave pinched the bridge of his nose, thinking that the whole plan failed and that they kidnaped the wrong person-but also no, his son didn't do this on purpose, he didn't even know that his father was engage to her before meeting his mother.
"He said it was a Belfour, was it Cursetine?" He questioned and the couple looked at each other with wide eyes.
"That's my youngest" she muttered.
"Say, did your son went to Emprium Academy?" Her husband asked.
"He did" Dave answered, Chrystell sighed and messed her hair in the process.
"Well no shxt, Cursetine is the only one in our family who entered that Academy" she muttered, Dave chuckled and shook his head.
"Dxmn that brat, I'll be sure to tell his mother this time" he gritted his teeth.
Well if you'd ask why then let me tell you, there's a lot of girl at school but his son picked a girl who came from a military family and that's a foul rule already, well not just that, his supposed to be daughter-in-law is already engaged and her mother was his ex-fiancé.
Just how could life slap him off his cool stance? It was fun meeting his ex-fiancé and her husband really but his son's attitude is a different story, until how long will he have to tolerate his wife from spoiling him?
"Did you just call your own son a brat?"
Everyone's attention shifted to the top of the stairways where a woman stood, wearing a black ankle length dress, matching her silky black wavy hair as she gave a warning glare at her husband.
"I didn't" he responded right away trying not to upset his short termpered wife.
As he replied, a warm smile crept back on her face immediately as she decended the stairs with a warm presence and stood beside her husband.
"Stell, my wife, Irmea Jaydelle- honey my ex-fiancé, I mentioned her before, and that's her husband- they are the parents of our son's lover" Dave told her.
"Ahh lovely, Chrystell right? Beautiful indeed, no wonder my son is obssessed with your daughter, sorry for the trouble by the way" she giggled.
"Ahh yes, but I think we have a misunderstanding here" the other female trailed off and look at her husband.
"Yes?" Irmea asked as a sign for her to continue.
"Our Cursetine is already engaged" Stell told her and in an instant her smiled disappeared and her face darkened.
Everyone was starting to feel cold at the sudden change of atmosphere except for the other female alpha on the group who is waiting for her outburst.
"Dave?" She called for her husband swallowed a big ammount of lump on his throat before answering her.
"Yeah?" He acted way too cool but his wife knew better.
"Did our son just fell in love with a tied woman? How dare he put shame on our name? And why didn't Denice spill something from us when she met that girl?" She questioned.
"Shouldn't you be asking that to the kids? You're the one who's spoiling them" he scoffed.
"Well no shxt" she said bluntly.
Silence filled the room, everyone was in deep thought about the whole situation and that what is the best move to take to get over the reunion.
It was all silent until the head of Belfour clan cleared his throat and rose from his seat, everyone looked at him as he approached the middle of the room.
"Dismiss the units, tell them it's false information and call Tinay here" he told his wife who just nod her head and did what she was told.
"I think we should call our son here as well to clear things up here" Irmea took out her phone and called her son.
In an instance, the dispatched units dismissed the area but one of them 'borrowed' a tank and decided to come closer to the area as a command of her mother.
Of course, the whole military knew something was up but they can't risk their lives if they disobeyed the legendary assassin alive, she wouldn't call on her own daughter on that location if it was nothing.
In order for a mishap on the commucation system, the head quarters shut the system down and let their boss handle the rest of the things on the field- though that is what they believe.
On the other hand, after hearing the request of his mother to meet him on their old mansion, he right away requested his chopper to be ready while he prepare his self for the leave, he's just staying on a private island near the main land of the country where their mansion was located.
Was he prepare to face the wrath of his Father? Yes, was he prepared to meet the parents of his beloved? Yes, was he ready to see his beloved Cursetine? Of course, was he ready to 'talk' to his short-tempered mother with a sleeping beast that is about to wake up? Deffinately no.
A sigh left his lips as he climbed up the chopper and wore his headphones, ready to take flight.
By the time that the tank neared the location, a vinatge looking mansion came into view and base on the aura surrounding the place, it recalls the vibe of something we call 'history repeats itself'.
The wind blew cold as she climb out of the tank, wearing her uniform, it was easier for her to move comfortably with her gears. She walked towards the mansion and didn't bother knocking.
I mean, why would she? Her mother is inside, calling out to her and she knows that she doesn't like to wait, apparently without knowing it herself, she now stood inside the dark hallway.
A sound of a chopper approaching then followed as she proceed towards the hallway, without knowing the right direction to where her mother is.
It was dark, but thanks to the sun that's shinning outside, it gives her a little idea where she's stepping to even though the walls were painted in black, blocking most of the light out the room.
It was kinda creepy, it got even more creepy when a smell of formented jasmine tea entered her nosetrills, she wondered what was going on on the whole place? Was it an ambush? I mean, her instincts may be strong but not all of them are true.
As she reach the end of the hallway, she was greeted by her mother who was talking to three unidentified males, her dad whom she thought was held captive was talking to another unfamiliar guy that ressembles someone 'who is not to be known' and a Morticia Addams like woman who shares the same age as her mother.
"What on earth is going on here?" She calmly asked, danger and warning glares flaring all through the room.
Though that caught everyone's attention but her parents were the once who approached her with smiles on their faces.
"Ah same vibe as her mother" one of the males chuckled and her mother took her hand.
"Cursetine sweetie, there's someone I want you to meet" she told her, her eyebrow arched and leaned away to take a full view of the whole room.
Were her parents drugged? Possibly not, her parents doesn't show any signs of its effects but something comes funny down her throat.
"Are you kidding me? I thought you were kidnapped?!" She whispered yell at her dad.
"I am, but it wasn't the usual kidnapping that happened, calm down" he assured her, she shook her head unbelievingly.
"They're mafias, are you guys aware of that?" She lectured them.
"I know, but they are my family" her mother said, stopping her for a moment and her heart rate dropped.
"Your what?" She whispered silently, her mom smiled faintly and slowly pulled her close to her.
"Your mom used to be part of the mafia before we got married. She ran away from that life because her parents doesn't trust her abilities and also had feared of marrying that guy" he pointed at the guy that ressembles a certain someone.
Cursetine glared at the said guy before looking back at her parents, looks like she wasn't escaping the past that fast, 5 years seems so short that no matter how much she wants to escape it, it was no use.
"And? You married her even though you knew her identity?" She asked her father.
"I love your mom and things aren't that simple as it was now, my parents didn't approve our relationship but when your mom proved her skills on the battlefield, your grandpa was impress and finally let us be together" he summarize the hidden tale of their love story as her mom pulled her towards the three people she was talking to a while ago.
"These are my older siblings, your uncles, the eldest Luke, then Mike, and the 3rd one here is Zake, I'm the youngest" her mother jolted in joy as the three hugged her daughter who was still stuck in confusion.
"She looks really beautiful princess, our empire would be much more delighted to welcome you" Zake commented.
No, this can't be happening, all this time, she has a mafia blood running through her veins, not just that, her mother is a princess, a much more higher rank than the normal ones she eliminated.
"Princess?" She questioned her mother but her oldest sibling manage to answer first.
"Our family is known to be the most brutal and fierce creatures in our world sweetheart, have you ever wondered where your mom got her skills in just a few months of training and still manage to take down 'my' men? A whole 150 men hidding in a village, alone?" Luke dragged his eyes along her eyes, the set of eyes that only belongs to their blood line.
"W-what?" She turn to her mom.
"Sweetie-"
"You're a monster" she muttered, her mother froze and forced her tears back as she stared at her daughter.
She almost couldn't believe that her sweet, loving daughter could say these hurtful words to the person who gave birth to her.
"Cursetine! Watch your mouth!" Her father rushed beside his wife.
She knew that she hurt her mom, but can they blame her? She was once hurt by these people too that's why she persued on eliminating them without mercy, torture for information? She'd gladly take it, anything to make her hear them scream in pain and agony.
Due to furstration, she slammed her weapons down, and removed her bulletproof vest because it feels like suffocating her, she took a deep breath and as everyone thought she was calming down, she suddenly smashed her fist to the mirror beside her, her fist passing through the hard wood that's framing it.
"Pity, I'm just like you cause you raised me" she uttered in pure sarcasm.
She pulled her hand out and took off her now ripped gloves and wiped her blood off with it before dropping it to the ground.
The pain didn't even sting her, she was too numb, all this time her life was a lie, she can clearly remember her mom saying that she was just raised by her aunt because her parents died early and she was an only child.
She didn't know that she was actually born with a golden spoon on her mouth and a royal blood running through her veins, a very dangerous blood that she, herself couldn't believe she had.
No wonder her older sister also have the traits of not flinching no matter how deep her wound is, all that matter to her older sister whenever she's on the battlefield was to survive and eleminate every enemy on her sight.
"And it looks like I'll have to deal with another monster" she calmly gaze over the person on the hallway who immediately caught her eyes on his.
