••••••••••••••••••••••
“Jake, I’m really sorry ” Samantha said to Jake while her tears were flowing from her beautiful eyes to her pale cheeks.
Jake stopped walking and looked at Samantha with cold eyes and the rain started to fall.
Samantha felt hurt seeing the man she love become cold to her,
But its okay to her, because its her mistake why Jake become like this.
“I’m sorry ,

“Ace!”
….
“Come in?!!!ace!!”
…
Gush Nuisance.
…
I closed the book I was reading and put it in my pocket.
..
“What?” I replied.
“Your Reading again …right!!!!” The commander yelled into the airpiece
“No!” I deny.
“Hey, you kid, focus!”
“Roger!” I replied and adjusted my position.
“the target is already outside of his villa”
“Copy”
I held my sniper and waited for my target to come out of his villa.
Hmm..
Later, I saw my target coming down the stairs of his villa. He is surrounded by his bodyguards.
Hmmm.
So much dust around. It’s time to kill the bee.
“3” I grabbed the trigger
*Inhale*
“2” I aimed at his head.
“1” And I pulled the trigger.
*swish*
And the bullet went through his head.
His body fell and the blood flowed on the ground of his white stairs,
and his bodyguards scrambled to find the shooter.
I took my sniper and put it on my back and got down from the tree branch.
“Mission complete,” I said.
“Go back to base, …..The helicopter is waiting,” commander Lu replied.
“Roger”
When I went down the tree,I ran down the mountain. When I finally got down from the mountain,
I immediately got on my motorcycle and drove to the location of the helicopter that was going to pick me up.
*After a 20minutes*
I arrived at the location, I got off my motorcycle.
Not far away, I saw a helicopter.
I walked towards them , and got on.
I sat down and I immediately put on my safety belt and headphones and the helicopter take off .
While we are in the mid-air, a warm light flashes at my left side angle of my face.
I looked to my left side.
And I see the sun is about to shine.
“So beautiful”
“Yes it is” the pilot answered . I smiled and closed my eyes.
It’s about 1 hour before we reach the headquarters.
__After 1 hour___,
Finally, we reached the headquarters,
I immediately went down and I walked back to my room immediately.
At headquarters, I have my own room.
It’s like my home. I grew up here.
Later on, I reached my room,
I entered my room immediately, and removed my body armor and my clothes.
And put my sniper on the table.
And I went into the bathroom and removed my black contact lens and untied my black hair,
When I’m on a mission, I wear them to hide my green eyes.
After I removed my contact lens .
.I came out of my bathroom..
And I lay down on my bed.
Gush, it’s really nice to lay on a soft bed!
When I’m on a mission, sometimes I sleep under a tree or in the ground.
I should rest,
Later I felt sleepy.
*yawn*
I closed my eyes and went to sleep.
•••••••••••••
*Beep *beep*beep*
“f**k!”
. I open my eyes and sit on my bed
Sleep disturbance.
I took my phone on the top of my side table and I looked at it.
It already 7:30 pm. I slept longer.
maybe i too tired.
I look the messages.
It was the commander who sent the message.
__
Come to my office immediately!!!!!
_
What does this old man need?
I just came home from my last mission.
I need rest too, you know!!
Gush, when will I be able to sit down, sleep and just read my favorite novels all day.
I stood up from my bed and took my black tshirt and my military pants on the chair.
Because, when I’m in the quarters, I just wear a bra and shorts or sometimes panty shorts.
No one dares to enter my room and I don’t always have anyone with me.
Lucy is on a mission now in Singapore. I don’t know when she will come back. I already miss her..
°°°°°°°°°°°°°
After, I put on my t-shirt.
I immediately left my room and walked down the white-painted hallway,
A few minutes of walking.
I arrived at the front door of Commander Lu’s office.
•••••••••••••••
Commander Jake Lu ,
He is my commander, my father and my Trainor…
Lucy and I were 6 years old at the time when Commander Lu saw us on the street in New York.
He picked us up from the street and brought us here to the headquarters
He nurtured us and raised us
He stood up like our real father,
He also gave us his last name, because he said we were like his children , and he is also the one who trained me and Lucy.
We were 7 years old when Commander Lu started to train us..He trained us to kill, fight , shoot and everything we needed to know.
I remember when the commander was teaching us to fight.
I was always beaten by him during training because I was weak.
After many years of bloody training, I also became strong.
And become top secret agent
Lucy and I do the most dangerous missions.
We always go on missions together.
Only now are we not together because we were given different missions and it was the same solo mission.
••••••••••••••
Before we meet the commander.
I met Lucy on the street. She is an orphan like me.
Both of her parents died and she had no relatives ,
They left her in the street.
So, from then on we became close and like real siblings.
and I treat her like my true sibling, she only person I treasure the most.
I can do anything to protect her,
Actually, I’m not sure about my age,
I just followed Lucy’s age because I don’t remember anything
I just remembered my name,
And I still don’t remember how I ended up on the street.
I don’t even remember if I have parents or not,
Maybe I don’t have parents anymore, because if I have they will find me…
I been searching them, or some clues about my parents but I can’t find anything,
Even I hack the government system nothing,
Maybe they died also.
••••••••••••••
I kicked the door hard and entered.
*bang***
“You really have no respect” the commander scolded me.
And he threw the ballpen he was holding to me. He aimed at my right eye.
It is approaching my right eye. Without batting an eye, I caught it with my two fingers.
“Commander, you always disturb my free time and my sleep!,” I said and walked briskly to the front of his desk and sat on the chair.
And play the ballpen between my fingers.
“Hey, you’re a kid!! How long are you going to make me wait for your report!” he shouted in anger.
Fuck I forgot about the report..
I looked at the commander and I smiled cutely.
“you,,!!!!!!!!!
I know you forgot it again!!!!!!
I already did it!!!!
I’m the one who gave the mission, I was also the one who made the report!!!!” he shouted angrily.
Wait, I think I saw smoke coming out of commander lu’s nose and ears.heheh
“Commander calm down, your hair is turning white.. ”, I said to pissed at him.
He closed his eyes to calm himself,
“ here,!”. He said and he threw me a black envelope.
“This is a S+ mission. It’s a long time mission and
It’s a solo .”
(A: S+ [super dangerous])
I immediately took it ..
S+?? Another mission again?
I opened the envelope that he gave me. A familiar face appeared to me,
My eyes widened as I looked at my commander.
“Son of—“”
“Yes Celieste,
He is the only son of Marissa Stanlord
Zeruos Alexis Stanlord .
The sole heir of Stanlord.
You know about SL-corp , right?
SL-corp is the top 1 largest corporation in Asia ,
They make guns and other military need, and she have pharmaceutical company.”
“Yes I already read an article about SL-corp “
“Okay,
Marisa hasn’t died yet.
She found out that someone wanted to kill her and her son.
Marisa asked this favor to put you in this mission,
Except that I chose you for this mission,
Because You’re the most capable in this mission ..
This is not just an ordinary mission, Celieste,
You need to protect the heir ,
Will you accept this mission?”
[A: Zerous “ Zee- ruos”]
It looks like it is easy, I just need to protect the heir, I don’t have to do other things..
Maybe I will become his personal maid or personal body guard or maybe shadow guard?
“Yes commander “ I said, and drank the water on the top of his table , because I felt thirsty.
And continue reading the files he gave me,
“Good to hear…. Okay I’ll continue now.
After that …
Marisa made her last will.
And according to the contents of the will,
She bequeathed the control of the full ownership of Stanlord and the rights of all her property.
…
In the name of Avie Hillvern,
And Zeruos Alexis Stanford will only get his mother’s inheritance when he reaches 22 years old….”
“soo,,,,you want me to protect him until he reached 22 years old? “ I asked.
“yes…
And…
I want you to pretend as Avie Hillvern,”
Pretend?? What the heck???
“Commander, why I have to pretend???”
“You already know, only Marisa and Zeruos are the remaining pure blood-Stanford’s,
And Marisa didn’t trust her step sister “
As far as I know, Marisa’s half sister is greedy for power.
Before Marisa father die he split his property equally to marisa and mallisa,
After he died marisa become the top 1 most powerful company in Asia,
And malisa I don’t know what happened,
Maybe commander wants me to pretend as older
illegitimate daughter??
“Okay, so I just need to pretend to be part of the family or just an older sister??”
“both no,,
you will pretend as the new hostess of the Stanlord mansion and you will handle the property of the Stanlord,
And protect the heir in shadow. …” the commander said seriously.
“what!!!!!!!!!! Why???
commander, even I pretend to be there new hostess
with this new identity
,they will still find out that the identity I will use is fake”
“you don’t have to worry about your identity,
You only need to do is make sure you properly playing your role as hostess.
Its all clear..
No one will know that Avie Hillvern never existed.
And I need your true appearance on this mission…..
Marisa takes care of everything in case something happens to her.
All details about your identity are inside the envelope,
Read it!! Clearly and Remember it!!!
And the butler of the Stanlord Family knows that you
are going there as their new hostess,
He know that you’re one of marisa trusted friend…
But they didn’t know about this mission,
You have to be careful with your movements so that they don’t know your true identity. ,
And about business,
Marisa left everything to the butler.
The butler will help you and give everything you needed to know.
He will help you and teach you to manage the company.”
“commander this is too much,
If im going to manage the company
I can’t properly secure the heir ..
Why do I have to manage a company?!”
“its part of your role,
About that I let jonas help you to follow and secure the heir in shadow,
And you need to manage it because you are going to be the hostess,!”
Okay its good that I have Jonas to help me
It looks like my brain cells seem to be stressed here.
I only know how to read a novel, create a virus, shoot and fight with juniors here.
“Also inside the envelope where Marisa suspected that was going to kill them.
. One of these was her half sisters, Malissa Davis
And the other is an enemy of the Stanford family
And there rival companies.”
“Okay” I answered,
and my vision became blurry. .
I lowered my head and I close my eyes.
“Come in!” the commander said,
I opened my eyes and gazed at the door.
Two men entered his office room and they walked closer to me.
I’m about to stand when suddenly they grabbed me, and both my hands and pushed me down on the chair.
I want to fight back but I don’t feel strength in my body.
Shit what the heck.. happening to me.
I want to move my arm but I can’t feel any strength. It looked like commander put some paralyzing capsule in the water.
“What does this mean!!!’commander??” I said angrily.
Fuck, I can’t move my body.
“I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about this one, I have to inject with you this”, the commander said.
And he pulled out a syringe with blue and gold colored liquid inside from his drawer.
Fuck!! ? What the heck is that?!
“Commander !” I said and I felt a little nervous. The commander walked towards me.
“Hold her tight” he said.
And he injected me with the contents of the syringe in my right neck.
“Arghhh” I screamed in pain, I feel something hot flowing inside my neck
After he injected me, they let me go.
I slammed on the floor and I felt I’m burning inside and my heart felt like it’s burning..
I feel I hit by millions needles all over my body.
After 4 minutes in pain,
The feeling of burning and heat fades away.
And my feeling went back to normal.
I move my hands
And I feel that I can move my hands,
I touched my right neck and put pressure on it.
“f**k! What is that!” I shouted in anger .
And look the commander in the eyes.
“This is the blue moon,
One of Marisa Creation
It is not fully complete, but you don’t have to worry it won’t kill you.,
It will spreads all over your body.
In 30 minutes, it will form into a half blue moon,
This blue moon will help you,
it can be antidote to all poison that you will drink or eat,
But
It will also kill you,
it has blood detector chips
Every month I will send a package that contains
blood,
every month you need to inject the blood of marisa in your body to maintain the heat of blue moon
And
She mentioned that it has side effects,”
“What the??? What side effects?”
so im going to be a vampire? Need a blood to survive??
Commander lu walked towards his table and grabbed a paper and he read it silently.
“Side effects: she didn’t mentioned the time or days,
She just mentioned that you feel heat and excitement,
You just need to bath in cold ice to get rid of the side effects… it last for 4hours , ,
And if you don’t succeed in your mission
and heir died
you won’t last either because heir blood has a chips
if the monitor send signal that the blood of heir dry or drained 40% of his blood.
it will send signal to the monitor that marisa created and that monitor will send signal to burn your body inside and it will turn into poison.
Im sorry to do this.
This is also part of your mission,
If the heir is killed, you going die too.
You must protect him,
don’t let him die or get harm“
“Why do I have to be injected with this?
This is f*****g unfair! Where is the antidote?!
How will it remove!!” I asked angrily ,
After I fully regain my strength, I stand up
“How i will remove this?!” I said and approached the commander.
“ it have no antidote ,
you need a special machine that marisa created
It will extract the blue moon inside you, “
“gosh commander!!! Where the hell is that machine!!!”I said angrily..
Fuck I feel im a prisoner .
“Marisa only said that” The heir have it.”
“f**k commander! You injected me with some kind of unknown chemical!! Without knowing where is the antidote or that fuckshit machine?!”
“im sorry, my dear, to do this..
Celieste my child you must survive, okay .
Noone must know about this mission even the heir,
Only you , Jonas , me and Lucy know this.
Your flight in 10 hours,
You don’t need to bring a lot of stuff, everything is already arranged at Stanlord, ,
I’ll send you later the clothes you’re going to wear.
Be careful there my child
.“ he said in a sad voice, and he patted my shoulder and walked out of the room.
And I was left alone in the office.
After he left, I walked closer to his table and punched the table so hard.
Gush, fuckshit, I need to secretly get information about where the hell is that machine and get rid of this blue moon
I need to calm down
, I’m going to find that fuckshit antidote..
I grabbed the folder and looked again at the photo of Marisa with her son.
I looked back on the Marisa’s picture,
You trust me but you want me to die also??
You know I hated to treat like prisoner,
You know I don’t failed my mission.
After I calmed down myself, I left the commander’s office and went to my room.
•••••••••
When I arrive,
I immediately took off my t-shirt and rushed to my bathroom mirror.
I look at my neck and I can see the color blue and gold, like vines on my skin.
Shit why do they have to do this. She said she trusted me but she did this to me. Gush, I cant understand her,
Maybe she thinks I would kill her son?
I need to focus on this mission my life is in this.
I walked out of my bathroom and I sat at my study table and opened the contents of the envelope.
I open the first envelope that have my identity.
I looked at my new identity,
Name: Avie Hillvern
Age: 24
What!!! Do I look 24 years old? My gush im only 21 years old!!
Will anyone believe my age,
If my face looks like this??
Birthday: November 4
Address: United States
Educational: college graduate
Hmm…All my IDs, passports and proofs of identity are here.
Marisa seems to know very well that I will accept this mission.
My photo is already imprint on the IDs.
Parents: orphan
Even with my identity now I am an orphan….
I’m not sure the Stanlord will be surprised that they have a hostess who suddenly appeared
Additional: one of rich family in Tokyo,
She meet marisa in Singapore when marisa in vacation they become close and become Close friends.
Okay..
And everything is here also.
. I will read the other details during the flight.
As I opened the envelope, I saw a black envelope.
Wait, what’s that?
I opened a black envelope, revealing a black and gold card. And a note.
I opened the note.
_this is yours, 4 digits,
Your real birthday is the password ..
you can do or buy anything you want with this,
,
Celieste,
Im really sorry,
I need to inject you with the blue moon,
I need to make sure that you will protect my son and you won’t let him die.
Celieste, I don’t want you to die either. I love you as my own child And Lucy .
If I read this, maybe I’m dead now.
I never imagined that someone would kill me, and my son.
I take care of everything that you needed, and everything is clear as White.
Noone will suspect your identity is not true
And take care of my son,
Im sure he so hurt now,
Please, Celieste, protect my son from people who wants to kill him and harm him.
Im sorry for taking 3 years of your life
as a mother I will everything just to protect my child.
Thank you celieste for accepting this.
This is my last wish…
--Marisa.
If this is what you want , I promise I will protect him, but you don’t have to inject me with this kind of chemical..
I promise I will find out who killed you and avenge you.
I grab the Cards this is mine now,
I opened another folder.
It was data on Marisa’s maid.
The data and pictures of the people she suspects are also here.
I looked at the photo of Marisa’s son,
And the data about him
Name: Zerous Alexis Stanford
Age: 19 years old
Date of birth: September 14
Hmmm. I’m 2 years ahead.
Septembe14…?? It turns out his birthday is coming up.
I look at his face feature,
He so beautiful for a man
Pale skin,
Oval face shape and round pointed chin.
Straight Black hair and light blue eyes.
His nose is small and pointed
Defined cheekbones
His lips are small and heart-shaped. Its rosy red
It’s like a character in a 3D anime movie.
I looked at them.
..You got your mom’s eye color
Your feature its more like your father even I don’t see him,.
I realize it better you don’t know your parents since birth than you know them, and have memories of them till you grow
Because when the time comes they will gone It so painful to see them in funeral,
, it hurt so much .
.
Don’t worry, Zeruos I will protect you
. Because if you die im going to die too,
you also my life,.
•••••••••••
Friday.. 1:45pm (Day 1)
“Where here, madam” the driver said.
I looked out the window of the limousine.
After a long trip,,,
we reached the Stanlord Residence..
When we arrived in front of a large High black steel gate,
it opened by itself,
Wow, it’s automatic, or is it only on auto when the Stanford car enters?
It’s gorgeous here.
When the gates open, the car start to slowly drove towards the Stanford mansion.
You can see on the right side , a house for security guard, of the gate,
As soon as you enter,
you will immediately see the large garden of Stanford on the right
And a large round fountain in the middle,
It has a lady statue in the center and its made in silver,
The plants here look so beautiful it surrounded the fountain
And you will see the high white wall that surrounded the whole place of Stanford Residence,
Not far away an be seen the 3rd floor Mansion of the Stanlord Family.
It has a shed in front of the main door,
And flowers surrounded the both side of the main door.
As we approached the mansion,
I immediately put on my LV, 6 inch black heels,
Shit, I’m not used to wearing heels,
After I wear it,
I immediately took the mirror from my LV bag
and looked at myself,
I fixed the mess in my hair and gently combed it.
I just let my hair down Because It straight.
I’m not that ugly,
I have small oval shape face ,a foxy feature of eyes,
Long and thick eyelashes,
Small lips and small pointed nose,
And well defined cheekbones and green eyes,.
I’m wearing a fit black mini dress,
which is backless and X split in the front
and you can see both my waist.
And it above my knees ,
It has split on the right, up to my thigh.
It has a white coat but I don’t wear it.
And I were white gloves.
I’m wearing a pure silver chain necklace,
which has a big ruby pendant and it surrounded by little chains
and small Ruby earrings too.
While looking in the mirror, I gaze at the blue moon on my neck.
Its in lower part of my ear,
It can see it visible now, it’s like a tattoo,
When I’m turned my head you can clearly see it,
It already shaped a half moon..
It’s length 1.half cm,
I noticed it glows at night
and during the day you can only see that it has little crystal shining surrounding the moon.
I’m still angry at commander but I have no choice but to let it go and focus on my mission.
Before I left the base, Commander gave me those clothes, jewelry,
Also, the new cellphone that I will use.
I didn’t even bring my other things because he said that the clothes were prepared by Marisa at Stanlord’s mansion.
And because of the clothes I’m wearing now, I can’t hide my gun.
Because it might be obvious..
After looking at myself and making sure I looked presentable. I adjusted my seat.
I looked outside as we approached the mansion.
According to the data,
The Stanlord Family’s assistant is 17, and Marisa trusts them all.
They have 10 maids, 6 guards , 2 at gates and other roaming around the mansion
2 drivers, 2 gardeners, 3 chiefs
And the Stanlord Family trusts their butler, Alexander Yu.
Gush, im going to live here for 3 years,
Remember you’re the hostess now,
I need to perfect my role as the hostess,
And his protector in shadow..
He must not know that I was sent to protect him
and if he dies,
I’m going to die too.
Uh, it’s so drama like novels.
I am the body guard, he is the Prince.
Prince in damsel.
That needed to rescue and protect.
Hahahaha,
I need to focus…
How can I find my prince when my life is like this
Maybe this makes me an old girl.
Damn
When we were approaching Stanlord’s mansion,
The maids came out and stood on both sides of the big glass door.
My gaze caught Zeruos Alexis and the butler standing in front of the door.
Butler Yu, 49-year-old butler,
He is like a father to Marisa.
In the data, he has no relatives,
Marisa gave him the authority of second head of the Stanford’s mansion.
He manages the mansion and other things like when the Stanlord family has a celebration.
I looked at Zerous Alexis Stanlord
Is that him? ??????
Why is he so thin??
I can see in his that his thin.
He was wearing a maroon tshirt and a black pants,
his different from the picture in the data. Poor thing.
But even if he is thin
He’s still handsome.
Probably the girls at his school tripped over him.
Why is this man so thin? It seems he hasn’t been fed?
Has Stanlord gone bankrupt? I might get hungry here.
Shit,,,, Focus Celieste, remember your mission
,
what are you thinking..you always want to eat food..
Gush, I’m not Celieste anymore.
I’m Avie Hillvern now.
Focus on your role.
*inhale*
*exhale*
