...Havu, the Silver Snake Clan....

...The big family's symbol with a silver snake coiled around two red roses....

...A symbol of prosperity, faith, and power. ...

...Who deserves the silver coin?...

...Who deserves the Havu's relic?...

.......

.......

Dark, abandoned warehouse. A stunning blonde, hair laid down her back walking in catwalks with her favorite red-Jordan sneakers towards the entrance, and three bodyguards following behind her.

"There!.. There!.. The Lady Boss" was greeted by a low and toneless man's voice.

She clenches her fists, inside, she is burning with rage, but instead of showing her anger, "What a coward, to only show up in front of a woman" sneering at the buffed, bald guy who wears black and full tattoos on his right arm. He has plenty of guards by his side, ready to attack at any time.

"Return the disk or I'll break your neck" her lips lifted upward, making the man pissed off.

The bald twists his face in a mocking laugh and slaps his knee like she's been giving the most ridiculous shit speech that tickles his stomach.

"Ckckck... What a sly little punk" he bends his knees, a pose to begin a fight, "Let's dance, my dear"

The woman grins, "Tch. Underestimating a woman, are you?" as if she's been waiting to kick some asses for ages.

A 28-years-old mafia leader. Fights, knives, guns, big guys especially, have never turned her down.

She cracks her neck, stretching her hands straight and making her fingers pop. There's a huge snake tattoo on her back when she takes off her black leather jacket.

...The snake on her back represents fertility and a creative life force. ...

The lady boss throws it into the air and it lands right onto the egg-head mafia, her enemy. That man grunts as he repels it away.

She is never afraid, and now, she's ready to leave bloodstains on her white tank top. She moves her fingers, smiling mischievously at the opponent.

They call her The Lady Boss, the vile, toughest, and strongest mafia in this town. A woman who fights for her clan in this dangerous world, but yet it is an easy world for her to rule. You might be wondering why she ended up choosing that path.

Yep, why?

The floors are filled with fights and drops of blood, between P's guards versus his and P versus the adult boboho. The guy had been beaten down to the ground, which means P will win her pride as usual.

"You fuckin messin with the angel skull, my dear" he gave a sinister smile, showing her red bloody teeth on display before passing out.

She laid his opponent low with a single punch, "Know your place!" giving a final kick, and the bald faints.

She pants for breaths, wiping the blood that trickles from her nose, and collapses onto the floor, "Hahhhhh" closing her eyes with a satisfied smile across her face. She tilted her head to the knocked-out guys one more time, as a double-check.

This is not a cute romance drama. No, don't you dare to think that way. P hates anything that smells romance.

To tell you the truth, this is just a heroic story of Brianna Patricia Havu, the lady boss, queen of the city who fights to preserve her clan.

But who knows? She used to be a loser...

Eleven years ago, approximately.

TING TONG TENG TONG

Beatrice Patricia H. was my name. Father used to tell me my name is pretty unique, Beatrice means voyager (through life); blessed, and Patricia means noble. He taught me how to be grateful, though he is also a dangerous man with life at risk.

I... was just a girl who walks with nobody, you can call me the regular school girl, but, no, I wasn't. I was always being asked to do something by some female students. As their slave, sure enough, they treated me lower than that.

I was just scared, though I was being "bullied", I never plan to tell my father. Definitely will cause lots of problems, I refrained from doing such things or my father will be a mad man involved in my high school life. Nobody knew, what my father do. Even, I was never proud that my father is one of them.

I sat down on my desk, could finally be seated down peacefully after some bread deliveries. I sighed deeply with eyes staring at the stratus clouds moving in slow motion from the window. Besides my pathetic school life, there was a foreign guy who caught my attention, always.

Ezekiel Han, or Ez to shorten his name.

...Someone I had a crush on since middle school, something I regret so much until now. Ez was just a good-looking ***-hole who spits sweets from his mouth, and I doubtlessly fell for it. ...

That day, I remember well, Mina leaned over to catch my sight, knew I was looking at Ezekiel.

"Patty, when is your birthday?"

...That's when I make the biggest mistake in my whole life....

"26 December"

A smile of satisfaction appeared from Mina's face, followed by her three followers behind.

Mina Cohen, just seventeen. The queen bee, the best-looking girl in this class, and three of her girlfriends, which definitely in the top five. And I was that girl who doesn't know why I had always been a target.

Ezekiel twisted his body, he gave a warm and friendly smile whenever we hit eye contact. I adjusted my glasses, then lowered my head to read my favorite manga. I was just shy, and my heart beats too fast.

Ezekiel Han was just totally my type; tall, fair, good at sports, handsome, dreamy, like a manga character. Gosh...

The main reason why I still come to school.

...Pathetic, yes, I was. ...

On my birthday, the day that changed my life.

"Riri!"

The night air smelled of honeysuckle and pulsed with the sound of crickets. It was dark, the moon shines too bright in the sky, sharing its light with the world. I gazed up the sky, holding a birthday present from my father. I squeezed the box on my chest, so happy that my father finally came to visit after a long time.

"Riri!"

I sighed, "Yes, mother!" was so tired, but she kept on yelling my name from the first floor, "HEY! PATRICIA!"

I rolled my eyes and rose from the bed, I was about to twist the doorknob, mother suddenly said, "Your classmate is waiting for you!"

"Urghhh! Mom!" I grunted irritably, was thinking who would like to meet me at this late? I don't even have a single friend at school.

Puzzled, I started to rush down the stairs when mother reached the kitchen.

"Who-" I pulled the door without thinking much and found Ezekiel been standing in front of me, I was too surprised so I got a hiccough. I quickly slammed the door close, "Mother-uhuk, why--- huk- didn't you-- uhuk- tell me it was Ez?" struggled to speak.

"How can I fucking know it?" she said with eyes rolled, then continued cooking.

I was so nervous, took a quick look at my weird outfits. My heartbeat was stronger, I wasn't able to think clearly, I started to get panic.

But...

A set of ONE PEACE hoodies is ridiculous!

He might spit on my face if I go out with him like this, I thought to myself.

I quickly climbed and arrived breathless at the top of the stairs.

"I'm changing my outfits!"

I finally got myself dressed normally, my heart pounding harder and harder as I moved towards the door. When I glanced at him, he was eyeing me, a cute smile twisting his lips. He looked stylish even though he was just wearing a plain blue t-shirt and black knee-length jeans.

"Can we talk, Patricia?"

I nodded slowly, my heart was racing.

"Should we go for a walk?"

I glanced at the clock above the mirror near the stairs, nine-fifteen.

"S-sure!"

We walked around the district late at night. We didn't talk much but kept on smiling at each other.

I cleared my throat and cocked my head to catch Ezekiel's eyes. I'll start a conversation, I made my choice.

"Hey, Ezekiel... I-I-" I began.

A slow smile worked its way across his face and into his eyes when I lifted my head and we hit eye contact. I swiftly turned away, tilting my glasses. Suddenly, when I lowered my gaze towards the street, I realized my yellow sandals. My eyes grew large noticing the Pikachu rubber dolls on the straps, I am a **** up.

"Are you okay?" Ezekiel stroked my head and it made me flinch. My cheeks were suddenly kissed pink as a summer rose, the blooming color painted against my freckled skin.

I shook my head slowly, "I-I'm fine" stuttered, "Let's go"

I first thought it was only a dream that Ezekiel came up standing in front of my house. I'd been dreaming about going out with him.

...I didn't know.... that was the beginning of my devastation....

The night was the most beautiful art, alive with a song for the eyes. At times I felt as if I could feel it vibrating somehow, whispering in a way the ears cannot hear. The night became special with Ezekiel. Someone impossible is now walking by my side, I could watch him from this close, such a blessing on my birthday.

We sat down on a wooden bench, at the park of the complex. Ezekiel gazed up to the sky, enjoying the natural black hugs of the moon like a newborn. He smiled, then he tilted his head towards me.

At first, it was awkward but Ezekiel started speaking to me casually, we talked about teachers and colleges we are going to take. I felt comfortable, I was so happy that we could finally talk to each other.

Suddenly...

Ezekiel leaned over, "Can I kiss you?" his whisper was calm, I was surprised when I glanced up and met his eyes. My heart pounded with excitement. I looked away and nodded timidly.

His warm lips touched mine. I closed my eyes and we still kiss, it's weird having a first kiss, my emotions run wild, but I feel different... I feel romantic...

"Patricia" he slid his hand touching mine on the bench. My body turned stiff, my blood racing, still surprised by what happened seconds ago.

"Will you be my girl?" he said with a kind, sincere smile on his face. Ezekiel lifted his hand, proposes with a pinky promise, "I promise I'll protect you"

...And you know? My crush asked me out that day, on my birthday....

Who knows?

I was just stupid. I tried my best to keep Ezekiel by my side. He was kind, so I did everything he wanted, even... I risked everything I had for him.

...I regret it my whole life......

That day, he brought me to his bedroom for the first time. We kissed like crazy, he was so addictive. Ezekiel touched the skin under my shirt, ventured up until he did convince me.

...A week after he asked me out. Ezekiel brought me to dinner, to celebrate our first stupid weekly anniversary and belated new year together. ...

"Let's break up"

I was too shocked to speak, I looked into Ezekiel's eyes, hoping that I heard them wrong.

"It was just a dare" he spoke as he scratched the back of his head, but he was smiling.

HE WAS FUCKING SMILING!!

"D-dare?" I didn't get it but still hope that the break-up thing was either just a joke or I heard it wrong.

Suddenly, the cafe lights off. There's a projector on the stage, playing the scene of Ezekiel standing in front of my house to ask me out a week ago. Last but not least, a picture of us kissing at the park. The flashlight directed me, switching the customers' sight towards me.

I was speechless...

My heart broke into pieces, my body trembled and chilled. I hope this is just a dream, I'll pinch myself and wake up, is that how it works?

Please...

Help...

Wake up...

I am scared...

"Is-is that really...??" my mind was tangled, I grumbled as I caught his sight up.

Mina, Roo, Yoona, Olivia, and some guys from our class appeared from the side of the stage, singing "TRUTH OR DARE TRUTH OR DARE" with tambourines. Other visitors were just watching, giving me a disgusted look, some of them laughs like it was some kind of sitcom show or something.

Ezekiel didn't say anything. I was too sad and shy to lift my head. I squeezed my skirt, holding my tears, it was so painful inside. Like I'd been stabbed several times in the chest. I stood up abruptly making the table budge a few inches, quickly grabbed my bag, and run away.

"Wait" Ezekiel tried to stop me from running away, but I just did.

I came home with tears and snots on my face. I shut my bedroom door for weeks. Refuse to eat or to go to school.

.......

...Snake is also interpreted as a symbol of rebirth, change, transformation, or healing....

.......

...The girl they called Patty finally quit the school....

...I tried my best to remove the sharp flints as I went. I still feel pain, so much raw pain, but I can't be broken anymore. You did your worst, but I am still here, shining the lightest in the darkness....

...I then decided to change my name and goes on....

"Patricia" is my middle name, I use it as my alias, P, or they called me, "the lady boss". Hah, I love it.

The name Patricia stands for "noble" and it suits me well. Since... I have my kingdom to rule now.

Brianna stands for "strong". I note that I must be strong to become a noble, so I changed my name from Beatrice to Brianna.

P dyed her dark brown hair blonde after she graduated high school. She changed everything she had but never got the chance to do a laser to her mole on her lower right eyebrow, even though she hates it. However, to P... Patty seemed like a different person.

But, even though she changed her name, her appearance, mentally or physically, she is still the same geek when she is at home.

The lady boss plays games and watches Anime during the weekends or off duty, with her loose oversized Anime T-shirt and glasses between her nose-bone.

"Boss" someone barged in without knocking the door. The new bodyguard, she forgot his name. The biggest among all but seems like a little idiot.

She paused the movie and tilts her head, "What?" with the scariest glare of her eyes. Fong, appears from the side of the door, scolding the new guy.

"Tch. Teach him manner or I'll fucking kill

him" she said, gazing back to the TV.

Fong closes the door immediately.

Although she's mean and forgettable, the leader of the Silver Snake Clan won't leave her men behind.

Nobody dares to lay a tiny finger on her men.

.......

.......

.......

Present time

P adjusted her white blazer, bubblegum clacking in her mouth as she puts both of her hands inside her pants, walking with pride and confidence. They stop at a huge restaurant with mandarin words above the door, HUANG XING FENG (five stars) Restaurant.

"Tch, ridiculous" she scoffed as she popped her bubblegum. P twisted her head and made her eyes to her men, means -we're going in.

First, she kicked the mahogany door with her black Puma sneakers and brought herself into the five stars restaurant. The sudden barge makes the customers switch their gaze to the gang. The murmurs slowly vanished, leaving only silence in the wide room.

"Whoa whoa whoa... What a successful cheater" she spoke loudly, "Hidden casino that owes me three billion and beat-up three of my guards"

They all froze, even the waiters.

No, it isn't a restaurant. It is a casino that serves food and drinks.

She twists her head and says to one of her men, "Take that motherfucker out"

Waiting with arms folded on her chest, leaning on the wall with hips jutted out. She threatens a man waiter with her angle when the waiter starts moving, although he can't stand with the heavy plate he is holding, he insists to stay freeze.

Her men finally caught the person she was looking for after five minutes, with force. Was dragged and thrown onto the ground, right in front of P.

P sniggers evilly, "Finally", grabbing his sleeve to pull him up. Her strong hand almost tear his shirt. The short man in his 40s is trembling, scrunching his eyes tight ready to be punished. But instead of giving him a lesson, P sticks her chewed pink bubblegum on his forehead.

"I have a gun" then she raises a silver-roses-snake carved gun, "Choose one.." she points to his forehead and the man almost peed himself, "Gun to make a hole on your head, but.." she kept her gun inside her blazer, "I like playing with my fist, to exercise.. hmm" lifting her slender, looking cute fist as she mumbles naughtily. Although it looks girly, he knew how fatal it could break his bones.

"I-I-I know nothing!" he raised his hands, begging for mercy.

P levels a glare on him.

"Ohhh\~ Interesting\~" she breaks the silence with a tenuous giggle that evoked another laughter from her men, "Look at this bitch. Owe me three million and has a copy of my data but he just told me, HE KNOWS NOTHING!"

P delivers a punch to his face and kicks his stomach, the short man tossed against the wall and coughed. Then she walks towards the place where he was thrown, P squats her knees and drops her gaze down at him, twisting a smile, "Underestimating a woman, huh? Do you think that a Silver Snake Lady like me could never beat you up?"

"S-sorry! I-I know someone! Someone who stole your files!" he negotiated. Hoping P could loosen him a bit, "B-but please, lady, protect me" he's terrified and scared, as his eyes rolled left and right, scanning the visitors around the casino.

"Then, who?"

"I-I don't know who, precisely but I-I can help you!"

She shook her head clicking her tongue and stood up leaving the man. At first, the short guy thought he is safe but...

"Tch. Then you leave me no choice" she scoffed. The man's eyes wide open as he realizes P sounds not forgiving, "Know your place!" and the final leg strike makes him unconscious.

"Tch. Just because I am a woman, doesn't mean you can fool me" P took another fancily-wrapped bubblegum and deliver it to her mouth. She turned to her bodyguards, "Search his office!"

...It's been... how many years? ...

...Honestly, I had never been this tough before I quit that wicked school....

...***...

"At seven"

"Father...." P pleased. She has just finished her shower.

Father lifted his finger, "Don't bring a weapon or your man" as a reminder.

"Tch. What if he is a bad guy?" she tries to convince him as she's busy wiping her hair with a white towel.

"Then I'll tell them to pretend to be customers" he added.

...Meanwhile, the father keeps setting up blind dates for his daughter....

"Father, I don't even know he is a good man or a bad-"

"He is a doctor" he cut her off.

P distressing, "What? Why would I date a doctor? What for-?" she clicked her tongue, "Father, I am a mafia head, what for marry a doctor-"

"If you are injured, you can go to see him" he implied.

She winced and moaned like a little girl while leaving her father.

...I'm tough, but still daddy's little girl....

The restaurant is situated in the center of the town, near the City shopping complex. It provides a whole gamut of traditional foods to foreign ones under a single roof, which has a very comfortable sitting facility with a great fancy ambiance for dining at any time.

It's a cold but calm yet addicting night.

Tch, I prefer watching Horimiya tonight, she thought. Thinking this is the most perfect time to enjoy her weekly update Anime as she is sipping hot chocolate in her favorite Totoro mug.

The Prado lurched stop at the drop-off. One of her men opens the car door for her. P puts her long, slender leg down to the red carpet gazing up to the sky, and inhales the earthy smell of the drizzling night, preparing herself to meet her tonight's blind date.

I'll fucking kill him if he is a pervert, although I have never met one, I wish I could meet one so at least I could punch my blind date in the face, P thought, she's been dreaming to meet one.

The waiters welcome her at the entrance when she walked past them, knowing P as the great Havu's head family, not as a mafia.

Her white long lacey dress fits her pair of silver high-heels perfectly, creating an elegant look for a blonde. Her huge snake and roses tattoo exposed her back, making her more attractive. She attempts not to read the looks on people's faces, instead of focusing her gaze towards the dining hall. Everyone, including the busy front desk, a waiter who almost dropped the whisky, some jealous women whispers accusing her of enchantment and evil eyes cursing her, some men with their pervert stares thinking of a chance for a nightstand, kids who see her as a fairy God-mother, their eyes on her. But again, she doesn't give a ****.

When she was a teenager, it would terrify her, but now it never scares her anymore, she feels the joy of becoming the center of attention. Even though most of them are judgy, but again, she doesn't give a ****.

The lady boss finally reaches her today's blind date. He has thick black hair, wearing a navy blue shirt paired with black chinos, busy reading the menu with his head down as if he is going to kiss the menu.

P takes a seat across him, as he is sipping his coffee and her men were already in the other seat as customers. P has a habit of paying close attention to her surroundings, she looked around and found just regular customers, with some of her bodyguards acting like one of them. She switched her gaze towards him, he doesn't say anything ever since she arrived, like she is invisible so he couldn't see her. P looked into the table as he puts the cup down.

Her eyebrow is crooked as she looks into the cup. What a very unique taste of coffee combination, he mixed the coffee with a teabag.

Weird taste, she thought.

P adjusts her long skirt, while she has a gun sticking on her right lap with a black rubber strap, without her father knowing it.

Then tonight's blind date tilted his rounded glasses and finally pays his attention to P, "Hello" but he spoke nonchalantly, sounds and seemed not interested in her at all. She never gives a single chance to her blind date but this motherfucker ruined her mood already.

Her right under-eye flickers, the ****? P is speechless. The man switched his sight back to the menu.

"Tch" she clicked her tongue and stood up abruptly, going straight to the bathroom. Some of her men waited around the restaurant, in case there's chaos.

"Home" P ordered to her men as she walked past them.

When P arrived home, as usual, her father will lecture her about inheriting the Havu, so many else about it.

****.

Never tell you about my last name "H". Which was also a mystery when I was a student. My friends tend to ask what does "H" stands for, but I kept it secret.

H is Havu, my surname.

Havu, The Silver Snake, as a sign of our family, inherits through generations.

My father is Johnny Keanu Havu, and his elder brother is my uncle, Morgan William Havu.

Morgan was the leader of The Silver Snake Clan until two years ago. My father was the royal council, families will stand nearest to the king.

There's a rule for the Havu's leader candidate, such as; you have to choose each of Havu's generations as the leader every thirty years.

For example, Morgan has three children and my father has only a daughter, which is me. Morgan's children and I will compete for the throne.

There are also lots of requirements to become the leader; either theory or physical. We, cousins, compete at the ring and took some paper tests.

Guess what?

Beatrice Patricia H. was never interested in becoming the head family, a.k.a. the mafia leader. Now, she is the leader, the one who sits on the throne, as the first Havu woman.

The lady boss, P is having her precious me-time on the mushy bed before going to bed, just came back from the wasting-time blind date, watching her favorite Anime from the huge LCD TV with her Totoro-mug. Suddenly, one of her men came knocking on the door.

"Come in" P rolled her eyes as she almost dropped her mug.

Fong lands the file onto her teatime table. Her assistant waits patiently by the door, "I'm sorry" he sounds urgent.

P nodded her head once and shakes her index finger, which means, okay, say it. As Fong straight up, clearing his throat before speaking.

"Boss, this is the personal guard Father Morgan suggested. Well trained bodyguard and ex-army in South Korea, born in 1993, single"

P paused the movie and turned her head to Fong, "Tell him to see me tomorrow evening, eighteen hundred" not interested to take a single look at the file, she trusts Fong as her assistant. The new guy he chose must be a good catch.

...And turns out... ...

That deep brown slender eyes, those thin and long eyelashes, that thick, tidy yet proper eyebrows, that lips, that fair skin. Perfect fit, Perfect shit...

"YOU!!" she pulled out her gun and pointed right at him, her men are doing the same.

P's eyebrows glower, giving him a death glare.

"Tch. Ezekiel"

Ezekiel doesn't react to her threats, he doesn't move an inch.

...My ex-boyfriend is about to be my personal guard....

It isn't easy to become a head family and a leader in Havu. Besides plenties of unknown enemies around the clan, Havu tends to inherit wealth through generations.

Also, lots of works to do.

Elders suggested hiring personal guards for P, but she has been postponing it for two years. Thinking they are just the same as her current bodyguards.

They're supposed to have the same meaning, but for Havu, personal guards are those who follow everywhere even in the restroom, they are more protective than bodyguards. As Havu's head family, the leader of Havu, P must have at least one strong personal guard by her side.

Turns out, Father Morgan made his choice to choose the top one from his accomplices to apply them for P.

She thought Father Morgan will choose something better than this scum.

"Tch. Ezekiel Han"

Some of your shits...

Your pinky promise...

Love

Trust

And my stupidity...

Regrets

Hate

Disappointment

Memories flashed as they made eye contact. A thousand thoughts and memories shuffled through her brain like a blackjack deck. She keeps on remembering those sour-plum moments they had when they were together. Including her stupid decision to accept the love from someone who barely loved her.

She clenched her jaw. Her eyes welled up. It is strange to see such a great woman like P, dissolve into such a state, which confused everyone inside the room.

*He was the one who taught me 'what guilts into my life', also tips on '*regretting something later'.

Ezekiel is a fraud, I'm gonna kill him right here, right now.

She tightened her fingers, was about to pull the trigger of the gun...

cekl-

Suddenly, Johnny, P's father barged in, "What the hell is going on?!" raising his voice as he watches the chaos in the office.

She doesn't want to make her old man upset or break Havu's vow but seeing Ezekiel makes her so angry. She could feel the warmth from her eyes, holding the dam of her tears. But luckily, Johnny was here, on time, just before P makes a huge mistake. She feels grateful.

"Ohhh... Ezekiel Han" father gives a firm hug to Ezekiel.

She's confused, "W-what?" abruptly turned to her pleasant old man. How does father know Ezekiel too?

"Oh, this is Ezekiel Han, Mr.Hans, Han Su Woo's son" father faced her and introduced him.

She frowns in confusement, "Who the heck is Han Su Lo?" this is getting annoying.

"Han Su Woo.." father looks around and lifts his hand, she lifted hers too to make the guards put their guns down.

"Mr.Han Su Woo was Father Morgan's personal guard. His son is a well-trained bodyguard and ex-army. Father Morgan suggested him to you" Johnny said as he put a hand on Ezekiel's shoulder.

"W-what?!"

P went blank, which means she has to think of another way. She looks around, "I have..." twists her head and points at the stupid new French bodyguard, the one she told like an idiot, "Louis!" but he's the biggest among all, "I can take Louis as my personal guard!!"

Father walks towards her and whispers to her daughter's ear, "Riri... Just take him with you, Morgan likes him so much"

"But-but father, he-he is-"

Father ignores her, "Okay, so you're accepted! Morgan chose you, and we trust him. Welcome to the Havu's!"

****.

P's bodyguards clap their hands as a welcome, she glares and they stop, afraid to be killed once her father is gone.

In the midst of tensions, Johnny then walked away while taking a phone call into his ear. He disappeared by the door, left just Ezekiel and P and the other guards.

"****!!!" she punches the wall and her guards jumped, except Ezekiel.

Although Father Morgan had retired, he has the authority to change some of Havu's new regulations, kind of like an advisor to a young leader like P.

But.. this cunt.. she really can't accept him!

She turns to a trembling Fong, her personal assistant, "Fong?!" she yelled, demanding reasons.

"Y-yes, boss" he scrunched his eyes tight, thought P will land a punch on his face. Fong is just a weak, skinny man, a public relations and politics person, he is a lawyer, now working as her personal assistant.

"What is going on?" she raised her voice at the thirty-five years old man.

"I-I got it- from Father-- Morgan. He was the one that offered me this-this guard" he lowers his head after he finished speaking, Fong is shaking.

She lifts her fingers but then lost her words, she's desperately shut, "I know, okay, but why HIM?!" she clenched her teeth. She might have to regain her patience but she can't.

P squeezes her palms. Finally, she slams her fist against the table and the glass table cracked. She turned to Adam, one of her bodyguards, the bald one, "Take this away and bring me the new one" but after she took her frustration and anger out on the table, she feels calmer.

She settles down into her favorite chair, hands glided on the chair's arm as she slithered backward. She points a finger at him, "Come here, Ezekiel"

Ezekiel walked towards P and stopped in front of her cracked desk. Fong bows beside him with something on his hands, a Rambo knife with a snake and roses carved on its silver blade. Ezekiel wasn't sure to take it when he first saw it, but then he lifts his hand slowly to reach the present, "Thank you"

He turned to P who's been waiting for him, she says, "Buy me a McDonald"

At first, Ezekiel seemed to confuse that his first mission is buying junk foods, but since the lady across him is now his boss, he nods and bows then leaves the room immediately.

"Boss" Fong delivers a disk to her desk as P nods in agreement at her personal assistant, "Is there any progress?" she asked.

"The casino is clean, but we found a suspicious letter inside Huang's office" Fong reported.

One of her bodyguards, William delivers a brown envelope to her desk.

"There's a letter without words, just a signature" Fong continued.

P pulled the white paper from the envelope and unfold the letter, there's only a huge signature with the first letter "J", but it could be "S" and also "T", the rest words could not be seen.

"Perhaps Huang is clean, he sounded like he needs some help" added Fong.

P feels like something left in the envelope, she puts her fingers inside the brown wrap.

A silver coin; a skull with angel wings.

.......

.......

.......

We, Havu, also have a lot of businesses, like Silver Casino, Harvard Mall, Bordeaux Complex, Lix Amusement Park, some other investments too. Havu is also a huge company, Havu. corp.

Brianna Patricia Havu stands at the top, while the others are director manager or something, her cousins.

That's why my father insists to get me a boyfriend. He wants me to inherit my power, but no, he wants a grandchild.

Look at him.

Johnny cheerfully played with strangers' children at the amusement park, his favorite visit among all. He jumps left and right as the kids are trying to catch him.

"Tch, why don't you just tell me you want a grand-children" watching her playful old man from far.

It isn't because she doesn't want to give him a grandchild or something. P never think about having a boyfriend anymore, ever since high school.

It's just... hard to fall in love.

The lady boss tilted her head and glares at Ezekiel. He stands beside as her personal guard, he will follow her wherever she goes.

Damn, how much I hate him, she thought.

Suddenly, her mind traveled as she is reminded of her clan's danger, "Who steals Havu's disk?"

Two weeks ago, someone barged into their safe box and steals Havu's disk. The footage has been deleted, so she couldn't find any clue except the GPS on the disk. They found two locations that led to Romero the hitman, then Huang the casino owner. P's still tracking for the next location.

Maybe it looks easy, a lady with a throne and a boss of a mafia clan.

Then again, there's always something that makes her need to keep her eyes up, she has to always be careful.

P hasn't checked the disk Fong took from Huang's office, told that it's a month CCTV footage in Huang's office.

One thing that has been disturbing her is, Romero talks about "fuckin messin with the angel skull" then she found the silver coin from Huang's envelope. Are they related?

Romero is just a hired-hitman when Huang is just a businessman. They are supposed to be never related.

DOR!

A gunshot interrupted the crowds. P felt the splats of blood on her face.

Johnny, P's father collapsed onto the ground, followed by some of the amusement visitors screaming at the blood coming out from the hole from his head. Everyone is running, screaming out loud, the scene is a total gore.

"Fa-father?" she turned into a straight face, staring at his lifeless old man, shocked to speak.

P's bodyguards form a line and her private guard pulls her off the crowds, "We need to go, boss"

She turned stiff and unable to move, "We have to be quick!" pulling her in the other direction.
