Two months later ...

my sixteenth birthday. after my mother's death, I have never really celebrated my birthday.

Uncle Vic and I would meet and talk. though those were just some simple talks they were those that kept me sane.

As usual, we chatted on this day too but this time Uncle had something for me.

"Letta you know that being an assassin is extremely an exasperating job but you know why you are doing this right.

I've got a letter from the headquarters that you could leave the organisation after serving them for four more years but in those four years, you have a mission to complete. Just one.

They were assigning you this task because you were the best candidate who could pull this job off. "

he handed me an envelope in which there was a memo regarding the missing and a photo of the target.

James Virchow. head of Virchow Corporation

His business hid the dirty secrets of human trafficking.

Ashton Ernest Gray. Heir to the mafia empire conglomerated by his father William Ernest Gray. Ruthless and cunning. if looks could kill you then he's the definition.

I glanced at the photo of the target. Two people were there Uncle said I was supposed to kill the one wearing the green jacket. James.

but my breath hitched when I glanced at the person beside him, I whispered

"Green eyes...."

so the bigshot who I kicked was a mafia prince ...God what did I get myself into

Hopefully, he won't recognise me I was bathed in blood at that time ... hopefully.

Vic continued " Ashton Gray heir to the throne of the mafia empire hidden behind the curtains of Correleinds a massive business group.

You better stay out of his sight he's an extremely cunning villain.

James is his best friend so you will be in big trouble if you get caught and you're instructed to accomplish this mission in four years.

they were giving you four years because it's not a trivial job.

his protection is even tighter than Ian Ivanov's.

Even if there weren't any protection it would be extremely tough to kill him.

"so you have to tactically trap him and then strike. So for that, you're going undercover "

"Uncle what will I get after completing my job you promised me wh-"

"I'll reveal your mother's killer. I've found the culprits. Four years that's all the time you have. complete the mission and come back."

he said sternly.

" Letta you will be joining the college of your choice as you will not be continuing your job as an assassin so study well cause in two years you should be entering a college "

College... Im not sure about it. As a part of the training I've excelled in all fields of study including mathematics, physics and chemistry not only that I'm also one of the best hackers in the organisation so apparently I don't need further education but as uncle said I cannot live as an assassin my whole life.

after all these years of hard work, I'm finally going to avenge my mother but my mother also wants me to be happy and live my life in the way I want.

so I need to get into a college. In concern to my mission, I have to choose someplace near to my Target probably somewhere near Princeton.

Princeton uni was a good choice. but it was extremely hard to get admission. but I had to do it for my mother for Theo and Clara.

I don't know if they are alright or not. I have to do this for them.

I had deprived myself of sleep studying for the entrance exam.

The only thing I had on my mind was getting into Princeton.

after 7 months of endless efforts and hard work, I qualified. I got into Princeton. It wasn't easy but it was worth it.

before joining I had to do something about myself.

I can't behave like a Bratty person. it's better not to attract attention, especially my target's best friend.

I'm not worried about James from what I have researched it's pretty obvious that he's not as much as dangerous as his friend ... Ashton. I didn't have to know more about him ...Those green eyes were silver daggers stained with blood. I better not mess with him.

three months later I started my journey as a university student.

I changed my appearance to not attract any more attention.

I wore loose and baggy clothes to hide my curves though I barely had them . 'wearing glasses makes you an outcast' that's what I've learnt from the countless uni/high school movies that I have watched. and messy hair too.

Therefore I dressed up as a " nerd" to not attract any attention. my grades were good and my days were peaceful for the first month. but peace wasn't an option when you are a student. I enrolled at the uni as a computer science student as it was my favourite subject.

I got admission to the uni as I passed the examination with flying colours but not all were happy.

A blonde girl who I don't even know we're throwing daggers at me from the moment I got into my first class which was language.

I chose English cause I didn't know what else to choose. I was fluent in Italian and Russian along with English so it didn't matter whether I chose English or whatever language there was.

the blondie whose name if I remember correctly was Trisha hated me as her best friend Vivian couldn't get admission as the seats were limited.

Vivian wanted to enroll in computer science whereas the blondie chose literature.

So apparently I had to attend my English class with this blonde bitch who had fun bullying me and ordering me around.

Inaction was the right choice as I didn't want to attract more attraction.

She reminds me of another blonde who had smudged lipstick- ah no time to think about the past.

I had to stop her she has been getting on my damn nerves. I couldn't curse nor could I fight.

The only thing I could do is silently receive the harsh words from her filthy mouth which smelled like alcohol and cigarettes.

It was 11 pm, A Friday.  From the information that I have learnt from hacking into the "popular gangs " group, there will be a party today at a nightclub in a random alley. And the one hosting it was Trisha. she's a rich spoiled brat, the daughter of a rich entrepreneur.

I wore my black leather jeans along with my black sleeveless top and jacket. A touch of makeup to blend in and I was ready.

I was eighteen now and I didn't need to enhance my features as I already acquired my adult characteristics.

I stayed in a dorm along with my roommate Stella and Michelle.

Michelle was a heavy sleeper so she wouldn't even know if an elephant fell on the rooftop and Stella, I had to drug her. it wasn't harmful but it'll make you sleep more deeply than usual.

I already had hacked into the cameras of both the uni and dorm as soon as I came here.

It was pretty easy as their security was easy to crack. I even accessed their funding files though they were useless to me.

I didn't have to worry about cameras so I jumped out of the window without making a noise and smoothly landed. my room was on the second floor so jumping wasn't a big deal.

The alley where the nightclub was quite far and I had to complete the deed in one and a half hours so max time I could spend there were exactly twelve minutes but that was more than enough for me.

I caught a taxi and it took thirty minutes as expected to reach there  I had now exactly one hour left.

I have to be back at the dorm before 1 am.  Students will wake up to study at that time so it will be hard to get inside without getting caught even Michelle will wake up on time.

one hour starts now. step one find Trisha and

step two drug her. I had come across a potent drug and it will cause temporary but extreme hallucinations.

Trisha was always with the guys so I could not drug her as it raises suspicion if I go near her.

lesser the attention greater the safety.  So I decided that I should thrash her when she was at her weakest which was probably when she was drunk.

As expected she was drunk and was trying to cling onto some random guy's shoulder and that random guy was ... Ashton. Ashton Gray

fuck why does this guy have to be around every blonde girl in town?

Trisha was a pest.

for her, Ashton was another hot shot. he's rich and hot and she can also brag about fucking him. She was a true whore but he was worse.

He only fucked blondes. big boobs and big ass, that was his type.

Trisha flaunted her cleavage.

She was barely dressed. her nipples were visible to him from that angle and she didn't care.

she wanted him to fuck her. As expected of the playboy he proceeded to fuck her. He grabbed her hair and slammed her against the walls,

kissing her harshly like he wanted to get the fucking shit out of her.

And she like a true whore wrapped her legs around his hips.

It was an intense make-out session, to begin with. I couldn't watch it anymore.

I decided to call it an end as I knew even if he was drunk I couldn't get near them because he was Ashton fucking Gray.

But right then when I was about to leave a guy who was also drunk put his hands around my shoulder and flirted.

" looking for company sweetheart. I could do you more than you want to" I looked at him. his "thing" was poking out of his pants.

Damn, those horney bastards know how to get on my nerves. I looked at home with my face scrunched into a frown.

I was pretty furious as my mission was incomplete and this guy was now messing with me.

without sparing a minute I knocked him by smacking on his acupuncture point.

He fell unconscious and I left. When I was about to exit I saw Trisha alone.

I wondered where that bastard would have gone anyway it was the perfect time.

I walked towards her who was drunk as fuck and swaying.

I smirked at her and she seemed not to recognise me as I've made myself look like a different person at the Uni. without wasting any more time, I took the drug from my pocket and popped it into her mouth.

I grabbed a bottle of vodka and shoved it into her mouth as she chugged almost the content inside. just as she started to choke, I saw Ashton returning through my peripheral vision.

He saw me but didn't see my face as I was wearing a cap. I threw the bottle and ran he seemed to chase me but in the crowd, it was impossible to find me.

I intended to feed Trisha the pill and run but my anger issues made me grab the vodka bottle and choke her to death by making her chug down the whole damn content.

She should be glad that I didn't hit her with the bottle.

It will be quite fun to watch her do crazy shit from the next day.

But I was almost going to rip my disguise by appearing in front of Ashton.

The sight of him kissing Trisha made me feel something.

Something I cannot explain in words.

Now I had Exactly thirty-five minutes left.

This time I didn't go for a taxi instead I asked for a ride. it was a pretty handsome guy.

He had this boyish look, unlike the green-eyed bastard.

he dropped me off by the alley near my dorm.

I couldn't have him find out about me or my location. who knows what kind of trouble it would bring me?

Exactly five minutes till 1 am.

I quickly wiped off my makeup and changed into my PJs and tugged myself into the comfy bed of mine.

The alarm rang and I saw Michelle spring up like some kind of cuckoo that would spring out of the alarm clock.

it was a tedious night and I need to catch up on my sleep schedule. James was still a red dot on the white paper I had. it's time for me to begin my plan.

I don't know what awaits me across the ocean but anyway I'm gonna have it cleared.
