2 Chapter 2: In The Black Market

But I don't always get to do this in the morning. Ofcourse, I get to go to salons, spas and parties but it is not something that I enjoy, especially the part where I have to greet a zillion of my father's friends. I have two bodyguards always roaming around me as per my father's instructions.

BORING...

So, enjoying breakfast is something that is very hard for me to do...

Being a lady and acting like a royal is the most fustrating stuff I deal with...

"Do what you're told and never make a fuss." this is what my father and my grandparents always keep telling me, every single day of my life.

Well, today I gotta go and meet my father at the Mayor's mansion.

"Why did we stop?" I asked

"Miss, I do apologise but there's been a break down" said the driver of my car.

" So, call the mechanic. I don't mind at all being a little late."

"Already did young Miss, he said it will take about an hour for him to get here due to the traffic on the highway" said the driver

I was getting excited for a no reason 'cause my guards won't let me be late, not a chance..but I am not that easy to get rid of..

"Don't worry miss I'll call up another car" said the first guard.

"Oh! there is no need for that" I said

"Why Miss? don't.." said the other guard

"There is a path right over there, I don't mind walking at all." I replied

"But Miss that is a black market"

"Won't you be there to protect me so what's the problem?" I said, my eyes cold and clear.

They knew I was never gonna change my decision so they agreed.

As we walked a little further in I saw a little boy being pushed to do work. I told one of guards to go and help him. They worked for me so had to do so. But when I looked around I saw many girls being bullied and children being scolded to work and some people forcing some youngsters of my age to take drugs.

I knew how it felt as a child to feel so hurt and bullied cause that's what my birth mother did for the first three young years of my life. So, I was not gonna tolerate this any longer.

I excused myself from the other guard saying I want to call my father and went in a nearby restaurant like house but a lot weary. As I entered I only saw a woman in there who introduced herself as Betty. I handed some money to her, for her which was a lot and asked to keep it a secret. She instantly agreed.

When I came out after getting dressed and Betty in sudden shock asked:

"What are you gonna do..Dread X?" asked Betty

"Ah! you know who I am?" I asked being keen

"Who in the world doesn't, you always appear on the first page of everyday newspaper" replied Betty

"Just, gonna teach people outside a lesson.. and mind not letting my guards in" I asked

''It would be an honor" she said

Then I rang my dad and told him that I am stuck in traffic and won't make it till late. He was ok with it, as always but said to hurry up as soon as possible. That was a first! must be something important.

I went up to the roof and jumped down on the street and as soon as bad guys as saw me they ran towards me with their weapons.

"You are one, we are many, seriously wanna fight us...Dread X" said a person from that group

"Oh! I am not gonna fight, who do you think I am..I am gonna kill" I said while taking out two guns and killing 12 of them at the same time and giving them a grin.

Then all other bad people left in the black market, ran too attack me. I took out my my swords and started by business. It was as easy as cutting bread. It was over in a jiffy.

I went back up the roof after throwing a ball of smoke on ground and for them I dissapered. I quickly changed to my favourite blue empire waist dress and thanked Betty for her help and went back outside to the guards.

"Ah! thanks for waiting Mr Jim but we better get going" I said confidently.

"Um.. your welcome" said Mr Jim the other bodyguard.

"Oh! what happened here?" I asked pretending not knowing anything.

".. probably..an Assassin..Miss.." said Mr Ander thinking.

"Oh! how good of.." I said

" ..Her" said a woman just infornt of me.

"oh! " I said and gave her some support till her house and gave her some money seeing her condition.

" Thank you dear.. but this a normal life for us women" she said as she took the money and went into a old ragged house.

'What, this isn't possible! is being rich everything to the society' I thought to myself...

I don't know what she meant but I felt shocked deep in the core. We had to go.

We soon reached the end of the black market and Mr Jim called another car there and we got in and went to the Mayor's house.
