AERA

I'm Aera Nakimoto, daughter of Japan's biggest mafia Suho Nakimoto.

My mum died when she gave birth to me.

I heard she was a beautiful Korean lady.

My dad married my mum when they were just eighteen and together they built this empire.

My dad was really happy when my mum told him she was pregnant but the joy soon ended when he found out it was a girl.

My dad assigned me missions at times and that was my only social life,killing.

Anytime I came back from

a mission, I would  be locked up in my room. I didn't have any friends because my dad won't let me.

He even warned me

about falling in love.

He said I was to vulnerable to fall in love and I would end up telling my lover our family secrets.

I hated it when he referred to me as vulnerable. How could I be vulnerable

and still clean up your mess.

I killed just like all his men and even better  but I was still refered to as vulnerable.

I needed to

explore the world outside the corners of my bedroom so when I turned eighteen I begged my dad to allow me to attend college in Korea.

He told me I could go but he won't pay for my education whatsoever.

He even promised to kill me if I told anyone our family secret or tried to run away.

I accepted the offer anyway and went to college in Korea.

While in college I met this handsome french guy and instantly fell in love. Two months into our relationship, we became so close,close than I had been with anyone.

I had never done anything like that in my life.

Jaehwan made me feel loved but I realized if I continued seeing him, I would  put his life in danger. My dad could kill him.

One night I left Korea for Japan.

Jaehwan kept calling  my phone but I ignored. He sent me messages saying he would  wait for me even if took forever because he loved me.

I cried so much at night while thinking about him.

Two months after I returned to Japan, I started experiencing signs and symptoms of pregnancy.

I took a pregnancy test and it was positive. I was pregnant. I couldn't believe what I saw.

When my dad found out he smacked me hard on my left cheek,cursing me and calling me bad luck.

Eight months later I gave birth to a bouncing baby boy, even though he was born premature.My dad was the happiest man.

He finally had the son he was looking for. The son who was going to take over his large mafia business.

He planned my son's life but I didn't want this life for my son. It will kill me if my son became my dad. The thought of it irks me so much.

I wanted him to  live a normal life.

Fourteen years now, I'm sitting at the edge of my son's bed waking him up for his first ever training.

He wakes up with a smile and says, "Annyeonghaseyo Eomma (Good morning Mum)"

I replied him with a smile and said " how are you feeling this morning.  It's your first day of training."

"Eomma, I don't want to do this thing. I don't want to be killing people or smuggling drugs and guns" he said with a very sad look.

" I know that honey, I also don't want this life for you and I'll make sure we escape. For now I want you to play along. I promise you that I'll free us. I promise you." I said, meaning every single word.

Daehyun nodded his head in an uderstanding way.

Honestly I felt bad for promising him that we'll escape. I had no idea how that was going to happen. The was tight security everywhere.

Suddenly the door opened and my dad entered saying

"Annyeonghaseyo (hello), how's my favorite grandson doing(he said whiles patting him hardly on his back) Hope you're ready for your first lesson. I have so much planned for our first training,I'm sure you are going to enjoy it. I made Hakyeon set up the basement for your first day. By the time you're done with the training, you will be the biggest mafia not only in Japan but in the world. I can't wait to see you kill your first human. That will be the best day of my life (he says while laughing). I still remember the first day I killed a human being, ah that bloody human deserved worst than just a head shot. I would have butchered him up but your Halmeoni(Grandmother) wouldn't let me. She was screaming like it was the end of the world, Pathetic women! Follow me and let's get you dressed. I want you looking like a real mafia on your first day. I'm so proud of you, unlike your mum. An excuse for a human, shameless thing". With that Abba leaves the room; Daehyun looking at me with pleading eyes.

My dad pushed me out of the way and gestured for Fellani to follow him.

Fellani gave me a knowing look before following his grandfather.

I can't believe Abba, talking about killing someone like it's a piece of cake. Why does he hate the female species so much.

I had to think of something fast. My son doesn't deserve this life. I want him to have a normal life. I want him to be healthy and happy and do stuff kids his own age do. I want him to go to school and have friends and have normal birthdays and just be him. I don't want blood on his hands, my son is to innocent for this. The thought of my son killing someone has been given me nightmares since the day he was born. I had to think of something,a way to escape, a way to be free and I had to do this fast. Extremely fast.

God grant me strength
