Entering the most popular club in Las Vegas, the blasting noise of music, people screams and bodies collide in what they referred to as dancing wasn't my ideal intention for my 《19th birthday》

“Serena give me your hand stay close”…He said while pulling me away from the crowdy area.

“Calix is this necessary?”… you know very well I can take care of myself right.

“Ofcourse I do....but in that dress you attract alot of attention ” he said while staring at he intensively. I «chuckle»

“Who proposed me to go out?..wasn't it you..let me have fun it's my 19thbirthday by the way”…I stepped a little closer to his face and said “I promise no blood will be shed tonight”. I walked away from him but he grabbed my hand and whispered to my ears“keep that promise”

I grinned and walked away from the other side of the club to the lounge were I sat down and observed the place, from a distance I could feel Calix eyes on me. I thought “what did he thing I was..an assassinate”?. While going through my thoughts two men approached me.

The first man sat beside me while the other just stood there like a rock or something.“what a lovely lady you're can we have a drink?” the first man in the black suit asked.

“Sure I'll love to“ I said smiling at him. From the looks this two men were “foes” but I played along to see through their schemes. “What will you like to take?” “Margarita will do just fine“…The first man order his drink and began to strike up a conversation with me. “May I have your name my lady?

“Oh you your such a gentleman..Serena”…I smiled. “Serena what a beautiful name”. I sipped my margarita but I could feel the second man staring at me like a hawk..

I pretended to leave the table to take a call. While on my fake call, the second man gave something to the bar tender to put in my drink, after doing that the second man disappeared among the crowd

I went back to my seat.. “so Serena you came here alone?“ the man in black asked..“Yea I did I need some time alone you know”.

I drank the drink knowing very well it was drugged to see what this two unknown men had installed for me.

I took another sip from my drink and felt dizzy..«For your information I was just playing along ok» As I stood up to leave the man in black suit asked “Are you feeling uncomfortable”.

“I'm a little dizzy though” the man in the black suit held my hand and ushered me into the VIP halls were i saw many doors. I was carried by the man in black suit, he brought me into a room which I noticed was still part the club. Then there I hear the second man's voice calling someone and say “We got her Boss”.

The first man chuckle to his partner and said” she's pretty and drugged the Boss didn't say we can't play a little with her“. “Stupid dude we can't do anything” said the second man who left the room.

The first man approached me, touch my hair and I snapped and punched him. “Nobody touches my hair“.

“How did y.you”… I hit again with my leg this time and to my surprise this man didn't not any martial arts. He tried to pick up his gun but I stopped swiftly and placed the gun on this forehead. “Who sent you”..

“I..I will never tell youuu b#tch” he said while bleeding from all corners.

“Finee suit yourself” I smiled and shot him in the head…I picked up my bag dropped the gun and open the door.

Suddenly from a distance the second man came running after me to capture me but i easily slipped into one of the rooms which i didn't read the sign on the door before entering.

“Ooh to bad I didn't keep my promise Calix “ I thought…

From the look of this room there was Noone. But I smelled cigarettes from a distance in the room where I saw only a shadow watching at me the whole time.

“Who are you” I asked still standing in my position.

“Who are you“ I asked again will moving closer to the shadow I saw…

«Then a deep cold voice said»” Are you here to serve me“

I was quite taken back by his deep mature voice and wait who does he think he is to ask me to serve him

“What makes you think I'll do that” I said being a little bit unsure. From a distance, I saw the man in the shadow walk to me where I stood in the light, hands being pocket in and his tall overbearing figure looking upon me.

«He was Breathtaking» I thought as I looked up. He had a scar by this left eyebrow, a black Chinese dragon tattoo I could see through his neck and that face so emotionless.

“I'm not making you think it your choice... and it the only way for you to leave this room” He said, and walked back to his seat.

I thought «it's my choice and I could clearly see he hand the control of that door». “okay I'll do as you please” I said and smiled flirty towards him.

I removed my bag placed it on the table, next my necklace and put it in my bag,arrange my hair on my left shoulder…ready to move towards him..

“I advice you to pull the dragger out immediately“ He said again.

There again I was taken back on how he figured out I had a dragger with me all this time. I lifted my dress from the tore side and removed the dragged in between my thighs.

I walked up to him in-between his long and muscular legs. I placed my arm around his neck an planted kisses playfully everywhere.

He observed her every move and found her quite amusing…I thought to himself «where will her little game end». One thing was for sure she wasn't a stripper but something trigger him to playalong…

After given him a kiss bite by the neck..I went along to unbutton his shirt. I button the first one, then the second and I decided to do the third one with my teeth..

As she lowered her head to do her as she pleased, he noticed the Scar butterfly behind her neck , then and there reality came hitting hard on him….

Suddenly,pulled her hair which startled Serena…

He angled her head and said “Do your job properly” with an irritated voice.

He pulled her into a kiss which she couldn't break free. This was a very embarrassing situation for Serena she was never forced into a kiss and most of all by a stranger was more embarrassing.

Serena took the opportunity too take the remote after biting his lips, which he let free of her grip. She didn't look back swiftly took her her bag and exit the room.

Some few moments later that man slitly grinned..noticed she left her dragger he picked it up and stared at it while saying..

“I have finally found you Milliana“…

CHAPTER 2

"I'm Santiago Serena Milliana, the only daughter of my father, or as I like to call him, Papi (Spanish for father)."

I woke up at the hotel in a foul mood, still upset about last night's incident, which had me waking up on the wrong side of the bed."

“Calix have you seen my dragger?”.I asked him rummaging through my stuff franticly.

“Where did you last put it?”. “I know you never forget easy especially something like that" he said carrying my luggages into the black jeep.

“I'm not careless… anyway I'll get a new one” I said in an irritated voice as I entered the front seat.

Calix chuckled, knowing me well. He didn't say anything but drove us to our destination, my mission was done here anyway before my birthday so I chilled a night here before heading back home.

“My Home” as I said isn't like any normal comfy household with a bright family, mine was a little bit different. We finally arrived Miami, Entered the black gates and drove up the white Mansion of our secret location.

“Oh, how I missed the smell of gunpowder and blood," I said as I got out of the car, heading into the mansion while noticing some changes among the men.

I entered the living room, eager to hug my father and share the success of my mission. But to my surprise, he wasn't there. Instead, he was."

“You're the last person I want to see today”. I crossed my hands unto my chest and sat on the couch feeling disappointed.

“Same here Serena..Father isn't going to be home for three days he had a last minute call to be somewhere”.

“Ah this sucks so let me guess he couldn't leave me alone and decided to send hermano (Español for brother) right?”.

“I don't have time for your annoying questions..and if I remember well you were not on an order "shoot to kill” on this mission that father assigned you"

I turn towards Cameron's direction..from his,looks he looked like a sleepless hobo with bags under his eyes, with the same black outfit of like two days ago with his messy blonde hair and forest green eyes staring dragger at me and his height difference which stood there like a stick and his obviously revealing tattoos on his right hand.

“Well..accidents happen.. and it's not my fault if some pests interrupted my bday celebrations hm”  I said as I rolled my eyes flatly not interested in his pre-talk now.

"Why do I always have to clean up your mess" he said in an fatigue tone...

I stood up approached him and tapped him on his shoulders, arranged his hangover shirt and his golden necklace…he looked so unfazed by my actions.

"Don't think too much about it you're not the one doing the dirty work my men will take of it and also you need to rest brother" I smiled at him and went up stairs to my room.

Beside that, i had an important meeting tomorrow and I need my dress ready by tomorrow. After my relaxing shower, I had twenty- three missed calls from Vanessa

"Trying to blow up my phone"?

"Ofcourse not I just missed you dear if has been months I heard of you and when I received the news from Calix that you where back 

I--

"Stop narrating I have other things to do want"? I asked her in an annoyed tone

"Oh..sorry uhm, Abuelita wishes you a happy birthday and that's all Serena".

"Thanks..tell her thanks"[I said in a flat tone barely interested to know more]

I dropped the call and proceeded to dress up, while lost in my thoughts for some moment: ( short from of vanessa) nessa and I grow up together like sisters I would say, and due to some circumstances we separated…she's now personally taking care of Nonna in Italy...so she's like family but unfortunately we are living in to different worlds and I hate people who waste my time especially the one's who act nice but are back stabbers.

It was 7pm, Calix and I arrived at the "Execution center"...I had some unfinished business to do here,a spy had infiltrated into our area to get some information but Ofcourse he got caught and is brought here.

The man infront of me all beaten up, bleeding and hang up facing me down,I put on my black gloves and stood infront of him.

"Who sent you?"

"Ha..ha I'll never..t..tell y..you"..[coughing out blood]. I hate repeating myself twice especially to cowards like this so I use his weakness.

"Listen up you're in a very pitiful state...and you'll not like to know what will happen to your...if I'm correct your 7yrs old son and your pregnant wife hmm"

The man's eyes widened at her revelation, and she knew...he was going to spill the tea...

"[Fernando's]...d..don't kill m..my wife..I plead of you..." A bullet was aimed at his head and *bang* he die at the spot, Serena order one of her men to bring down his body and chopped it for a little gift to her foes.

.............................

After removing her black gloves, she and calix walked silence out of the under basement..

"Your too quiet...cal" [ short nickname for calix]

"Cal"?

"Calix are you even listening to me?" She said turning to face his direction. I didn't expect less from calix, he was rather silent when I was interrogating that coward.

He was snapped back into reality,.."sorry Serena I was thinking"

She moved a little further infront and said bluntly "Are you that doubtful of my decisionof eliminating that pest by ordering my men to chop his body into bits"

Calix was a little bit taken back by her respond.."No I'm not"

She turns around and walks towards him, Although serena was on heels she still wasn't the same height as calix he looked down at her as she gently grabbed his face towards hers.Looking up to him, his face in her hands, looking into his eyes.

Calix looked at her and mummered “if he didn't spill the beans you would bury his pregnant wife alive right?” He already knew serena and what she's capable of but he just want to get her answer.

"Cal I maybe evil but I'm not a heartless monster to bury a pregnant woman alive okay"

He just stared as well into her hazel eyes trying to understand her better.

"I love your onxy black eyes they suit you.. also pick me up tomorrow" she said in a lazy tone looking at him...

"What time" he finally spoke and his deep voice was calm..just like how she thought.

"9am..we have a very busy schedule tomorrow..you know what to do right"  I raised my left eyebrow waiting for his answer.

"I'll be there by 8am with the black SUV serena" using the same calm tone.

"That's why I love you so much calix, you know me too well" I smiled and gently caressed his cheeks and walked to the car.

Calix stood there a few moments and finally, he open the car and drove off with serena behind, glazing at the windows.

He thought to himself "what's she think now?".

Chapter 3

Waking up to the rays of sunlight that peak into my room, I turned around to stop the alarm of my phone that has been ringing nonstop since 20mintues. I stretched my arms up into the air and got down of the bed. I decided to take a cooling shower. «knock»…

“What if I opened the door and I was naked hm?”. she said in an amusing tone.

Calix stood outside her bedroom for the past 15minutes contemplating if he should knock or not, after all he did have her outfit she order for today's event.

When he finally did, she open; she was drenched with water as if she just stepped out of the shower. Her hair still wet fell over her shoulders in the most beautiful way as her amusing face that morning as she checked him out.

Then he responded “I had a nice dream that started just like this?“ Serena rolled her eyes at his statement.

“Anyway you look good in this fancy new attire“ she said as she looked him up and down. Serena grab the dress and told him to wait for her downstairs as she prepares.

Serena wore the custom made white dress, it was an elegant mid length dress that fit all her curves perfectly and that unique detailed arm length that fit her, she paired the look with a black heel with the red bottom and she curled the ends of her hair, matching pairs of jade earrings and necklace not forgetting her soft makeup look.

Calix waited patiently beside the SUV, from a distance a pair of clacking noise drew his attention and the other boys surrounding the outside mansion entrance. Serena walked down gracefully down the stairs with each of her steps been admired by calix.

«She was looking exquisite in all corners as she approached him, he thought to himself she looked more like a woman than a teenager when she had this confident attitude on».

”If you keep looking at me like that I may do something we might regret cal?“, she taunted while staring at him.

He took her bag and open the front seat for her. As she entered he noticed he wasn't the only one captivated by her beauty as the other men also shot sneaky glances at her until she entered the car.

They drove off, some moments later they arrived at the corporation of her dad. She had some business here today, as calix opened the door for her.

She steps down, and walks inside the building. Immediately some staffs notice her and mummered to themselves as they greeeted her politely as she walked past them.

Then a blonde hair guy approaches Serena, he gently took her hand and kissed her knuckles while grinning, he was dressed in in green suit that matched his eyes.

”Lovely meeting the famous Serena here today as gorgeous as always” in a flirty tone

“Logan that's sweet and all but let's get down to business“ she smiled but her tone was commanding.

”Ofcourse beautiful this way” he said leading Serena ahead to the room were all the other shareholders and managers were waiting for her. Logan opened the door for her but block calix from entering.

“ He's my bodyguard, wherever I,go he goes ” she uttered while glancing at logan.

“Understood”logan gave short nod, Calix entered the roomtaking his position silently beside Serena, who had already made herself comfortable in the chair at the head of the long conference table—the one reserved for the boss.

With calm authority, she greeted the board members, her tone poised and unwavering. “Good afternoon. I’m Serena, and as of today, I am the new CEO of this corporation.”

A wave of murmurs rippled through the room as the board members exchanged uneasy glances. Disbelief hung thick in the air. Some of the men in the room mummered about the sudden change.

One man stood up and asked “ This's not was we signed up for we weren't expecting a young teenager to be the next CEO, aren't you sure that the chairman made a mistake ”,when he said that, some of the shareholders nodded in approval.

“Are opposing my father's word?“ she asked in a menacing tone with a smile on her face. The man quietly sat down, The murmurs began to fade—until another voice cut through the quiet like a knife.

A younger board member scoffed loudly. “This is ridiculous. What does a spoiled little girl know about running a company? Did Daddy promise you a throne to play dress-up in?” he said in an annoying tone.

Gasps echoed. A few men stiffened. Even the walls seemed to hold their breath. Serena turned towards his direction and smiled softly but something about that smile was unsettling.

The man blinked, caught off guard by her unexpected reaction.

“Cute,” she said quietly, then from nowhere a bullet was shot through his head,the shot was sharp, fast, and final, the man slumped forward, lifeless—blood blooming across his crisp white shirt.The room erupted in chaos. Chairs screeched, the men faces were filled with horror of the unsettling sight they just witnessed.

But Calix remained still, lowering the silenced gun he’d drawn and fired without hesitation while Serena didn't flinch at their panicked gazes.

She rose slowly, wiping off some little drop of blood that touched her hand,“Let that be a reminder,” she declared coldly, her voice cutting through the panic. “Disrespect is not part of this board’s culture.

She casual left the room after telling logan to take of the body by disposing it where necessary. She took the elevator to the top building to explore her new office. The was a silence between she and calix that was immediately broken by her as they stepped into the massive office.

”Isn't perfect to fit all my stuffs in here?“ She blunted out while exploring the spacious room. Then she swiftly turned towards his direction.

''Are you absent minded again?”

“Serena you have really changed me” He said those words in an unusual calm tone but it hit her harder than she expected. She didn't muttered a word-what does he mean by that?

But one think is for sure, he filled their gap and glared softly at her. “I will serve you as much as kill for you no one else Serena”. Serena was left speechless, for someone so adapted to killing his eyes were remarkably soft.

“Let's go home” was all she could mummered softly. The ride was quiet not because of the unfazed atmosphere that happen at the office, but because she was lost in. Her own thoughts of calix opened confession. He was never like this, she never knew what he thought nor how he already understood her well.

Finally arriving the house, she quietly entered the house in her gloomy sour expression on her faace.

«Serena don't you miss your father!»

Then there was that familiar voice. the voice called softly from the living room.She walked forward — then broke into a run.He opened his arms just in time as she flung herself into them, wrapping her arms around him tightly like a little girl again.

Older, tired, his once-black hair now streaked with silver. But his eyes… those gentle,reddish eyes they hadn’t changed at all he sat on his automatic wheel chair. He patted her head softly as she looked up to him.

“Papi?” she whispered, breathless. «Finally you're back»
