5 Ariadne Margaret P.O.V I kept caressing my son's hair as he's sleeping peacefully.  "Babe," My husband sat beside me and placed his arm on my shoulder. I just can't help myself and sighed. "We were so happy Michael," I said. We were so happy before. I only wish this isn't happening. But it's already happening. "I want to be with our son,"  As a mother, everything has changed to me. I've become more mature than I was. Life has been very important to me. I never thought I would think of life this seriously.  "It's gonna be our first time not waking up without our son," tears started streaming down my face as our conversation got deeper.  "But what we're about to do is for our son,"  I know Michael doesn't want to leave Aga but we just have to do this for his future.  Sometimes, whenever I look at Aga, I just wish I was never an assassin. I wish we had a normal life. I can't even blame my father. My father has no other choice but to receive and accept his destiny. The Hampshire bloodline was ever cut out of this world. I don't intend to cut our assassin line.  But even if I cut the ties with the assassins, our lives will still be in danger. Being an assassin would be the safest for Aga.  If I'm not an assassin, I could not have met my husband and I wouldn't have a lovely son.  I immediately wiped my tears when Aga woke up. He stood up and sat on my lap.  "Baby, are you excited to see lol," I asked. Trying to sound cheerful. He stood up and jumped on the bed looking excited.  "Yes mommy. I miss lolo and lola!" He continued jumping while saying that. "I'm glad you're happy," I'm just happy that my son is happy that he's going to live with my parents.  "Lolo!" My son jumped out of the bed. Michael and I turned around and saw my father behind the door.  Dad bent and hugged my son.  "How are you young man?" Dad ruffled his hair and my son giggled. I just can't help but to smile hearing my son giggle.  I stood up and went to my father.  "Dad," I hugged him and kissed his cheek. Michael also went to my father and hugged him too.  "Margaret are you sure about this?" Dad asked. His voice was a bit stern.  "It's for Aga," My son looks confused.  "The queen would understand if you would stay behind and let them do the work," He must be really worried about us  "Dad, this is our responsibility." He sighed and nodded.  "I guess this young man will be joining me in London," My dad bent again to carry Aga. "Are you excited to come with us?" Aga nodded while clapping his hands like a seal. "I wanted to see lola too. I missed you both," he pouted his lips a bit.  "We'll see lola later,"  Dad, Michael, and I went down with Aga. They are all waiting downstairs in the receiving area.  "Queen," Dad showed Angel the pledge of respect. Angel did the same. I saw Aga look confused as he heard my father calling Angel, Queen. "We won't stay any longer. Our flight is not safe. We need to get back in London immediately," Dad said while holding Aga's hand.  The guys helped Michael to put Aga's clothes and other stuff inside the private jet they are going to use to fly. "Aga be a good boy to your grandparents okay?" Michael kissed the top of his head before he whispered in his ear. "I love you,"  "See you soon daddy, I love you," Aga hugged him back. I knelt in front of my son and my eyes started tearing up.  "Don't stress your lolo and lola okay?" He nodded playfully.  "Why are you crying mommy?" He placed his small hand on my cheek and wiped away my tears using his small fingers.  "Because mommy will miss you. I love you baby," I burst into tears as I hugged my son.  "Dad take care," My dad hugged me too. "Send my regards to mom. Thank you dad!" "Please come back to us anak," my heart melted when my dad called me anak.  Right, I'm still their baby even though Aga is here. "I will dad. I will,"  I promise that. Michael hugged me as we watched Aga waved his small hand. I burst more as I felt the warmth of Michael's hug. It's just so painful to see my son leaving. I always wish to be with him.  Angel P.O.V I couldn't bear to watch Margaret crying in Michael's arms as Aga waved his hand to us. I walked away feeling torn into pieces.  "It's gonna be okay baby," Xian hugged me as he followed me back here inside the house.  I immediately wiped away my tears when I heard their footsteps. I didn't bother to look at them and remained quiet.  "We should proceed now," Red said, breaking the silence.  "We should," Margaret tried to courage herself but we just know that it's forced out of habit  "Xian, please lead the guys to our basement and get all the stuff we need according to our plan. The girls will start packing up the clothes, guns, and ammunition," I proceed giving orders. They all nodded and followed my order. Xian kissed me on my cheek before they went downstairs. The girls went inside their room to fix the things I asked.  I went inside my room, then straight inside my closet. I took two backpacks made of cloth and metal. It's a pretty compact bag. I kept the laptop in the back part of the bag. The clothes were placed inside the first compartment of the bag, while the guns and ammunition were placed in the second compartment.  I also did Xian's, except for his clothes. I'm not quite sure which clothes I should pack for him. So,  I send him a message, asking which clothes I should pack. He immediately replied saying; From: Mi amor Any comfortable clothes will do love. Thank you Just like what he said, I packed him comfortable clothes. More on sweatshirts and sweatpants.  After packing up, I went downstairs to put all the bags in the receiving area. So we won't bother to get them upstairs if we leave immediately.  After placing the bags above the sofa, I went down to see them in the basement.  They are all here. "It needs your retina," Xian said. I just nodded and went near the wall. There's a retinal scanner on it. Before I scanned my eyes, I encoded my serial code and the scanner activated. It scans my retina and another portion of the wall opens.  "You might want to set aside," I said when I saw them stepping on the premises. I pulled down the lever after they stepped aside.  The metal floor slowly opened. The whole floor of the basement is made of metal. Created to become storage for the private plane. It has a capacity of twenty people. It's not the typical private plane, it's more upgraded to become more compact.  The private plane slowly appeared.  "This is the private plane we will use," I said when the matte black private plane fully appeared.  "Are we going to be really safe on the island?" I heard Alyana whisper to Red.  It's not really a whisper as we were able to hear it.  "It's safe. I was there last year to help Ariadne manage her members. They need to prepare for this year's Battle Field."  "Ariadne?" Alyana looks confused.  "Oh right. Ariadne is the code name of my cousin, Irish."  Yes, inside the island, the presiding members need to use an alternative name or codenames. It's one of their laws.  "When are we going to leave?" Red asked.  "Tomorrow night,"  Before we rest for the night, I sent Irish a message.  To: Irish We will be there tomorrow night I'm coming brother. I'll be there soon. I promise!
