Queen POV
"Mr. President," I said while smirking, trying to be confident infront of him. I didn't know that a president like him, would beg for his life. Well, i can see him, trembling in his position right now.
It's like a win or lose situation. If he can prove me that he's not guilty, then sad to say, he'll die. But, if he says that he's guilty, then a big applause for him. Tactic will always be a tactic, don't try to fold.
"Who really are you?" He asked suddenly, curiosity written in his face. Is he planning to play with me, then let's start. I missed playing with my client, thinking that this is my last mission, from dad.
"I'm who I am." I said, while walking towards him. I'm fully covered, he can't see my face, cause, I have a black faced mask and black cup and I'm fully dressed with black. This is my usual attire, whenever I do a mission. Well, I don't want to expose myself, especially my face for some reason.
"Don't fool me, I know you." I can see that he's smirking. I stare at him coldly, trying to figure out something. I knew, he's really playing with me, and that was the nonsense thing he did ever in his life.
"Know me well then." I said then released my gun. No one dare to play with me, and I can't let this old man do it.
"Pissed off?" he said, laughing. I wonder how foolish this person is. I'm not want to take this conversation longer, it's suck. I really want him to suffer, begging for his useless life.
"Yes, and I don't want to hear your noisy mouth again." I seriously said and pointed the gun at him, it seems like he understand it, so he shut up for a while and search the place. I was about to shoot him, when I heard foot steps. Shocks, I didn't know that he'll trap me.
"So this is how you play." I said, not minding the foot steps, i don't really care, cause I can let them all down in any minute.
"I'm not playing, I'm just trying to surprise." He said, and giggle like a kid. My expression didn't change, but my thoughts is thinking. Suddenly, a boy came with his bodyguard attire.
"Oh, you're here grandson, can you deal with this girl? " he said to the man. And the boy just laughed for a while and stare at me fooling around. And I was caught up a little bit with his stare, so he took that time to come closer infront of me.
Shocks, this is my first time to belittled by an old man and be caught just because of a man's stare. And I don't think if I can win this mission, I'm not in my mood right now.
"Of course, grandfather." He said, smirking at me, i put my gun down and meet his stare, his charisma is strong, I can sense. I was supposed to fight, but he he pointed a gun at me then smirked. Oh, what a messed.
"Is that how you deal with a girl?" I asked and started to giggle. But, he just doesn't have it and he focuses his gun even more. Nothing, I took it and flipped over. This is it.
I was about to shoot him, but I saw his logo that represent our mafia. Did my father play with me. How pity, up until now, he still think that I've not grown up, but, he is wrong. This is just the beginning, dad.
"I'm sorry, Mr. President and you. I knew it, dad played with me." I said bitterly. This is my first time, yet will be the last time that I used to say sorry to others.
"No need to miss, by the way, I'm Khyler Sean Cordova and nice to meet you. And your good, my dad used me too." He said, not minding his grandfather.
This boy, i think he's nice, but he seems like a bad boy. Well, I'm not in my mood to talk and interact with him, so I just nod and started to walk.
"And by the way, I will be your bodyguard." I was shocked, wondering why. So, I stop walking and face him, speechless.
"I'll send you home." He promised with his bothered eyes, and I just nodded.
"Drive well, grandson." His grandfather said happily, he was already standing. Its a plan. I knew, it was all planned by them. Well, let the consequences disappoint them, all.
They messed up with the wrong person. I looked away, and started to walk. This is interesting. I hope, all of them will suffer, in the end.
"Please wait." I heard the man behind me say. Oh, i forgot him.
Even his being a bodyguard is also planned. So, I wouldn't be surprised if later, he would kill me.
This is my world, everything is planned. And never, ever did I make my plan. So, maybe it's time to play and follow what I want.
"How long is it?" I asked my bodyguard here. Yeah, my bodyguard. We talk and settle down our business with each other, before.
I think, I can trust him, for now. We decided to take a mission. And that is, following his grandfather's car. We need to know how they transact with my dad. I found out that there's going to be an underground fight tonight, and I shouldn't get lost, cause I'm the most important person there. Of course, I'm the queen.
"We're close to the location, miss." He made a formal promise.
I already told him, that I installed a tracking device on his grandfather's clothes, so we quickly found out the location.
"They trapped us." It whispered next to me.
They are also brainwashed. Of course, tactic will always be a tactic.
"Let's go back. Underground." .That's all I said and typed on my cellphone.
"Let us welcome, our one and only QUEEN!" the emcee's shout echoed throughout the hall. I just kept walking, until I got to the ring and people were still screaming.
