Chapter 1 - SHARED SECRETS

Q City

In the vegetable market

An elderly lady is shopping for veggies when two men walk towards her. She can feel the eyes of these men but ignores them and shop for vegetables like she hasn't felt their gazes on her.

The man looks like a bodybuilder and walks on either side of the elderly lady. The old lady looks like she is in her late 60s, but her body looks like she is in her 50s.

While the lady was haggling with the shopkeeper over the price of vegetables, a man on her left suddenly grabbed her arm and forcefully started pushing her to the other side. Meanwhile, another man nearby stared intently at the crowd.

The woman did not attempt to resist as she walked alongside them. Little did they know, she was biding her time, waiting for the perfect moment to turn the tables on her would-be abductors. They had no idea what was about to hit them.

The two men believe that nothing will stand in the way of their successful mission and the handsome ransom they expect to receive.

Before they can fully enjoy the moment, a sudden turn of events shatters their excitement. Out of the blue, a girl delivers a powerful punch to a man who had been menacing the crowd in the bustling market area.

The girl wore her hair in a messy bun as she stood confidently in blue jeans and a casual T-shirt. Despite her face being under attack, she defended herself like a pro. Bystanders heard the sounds of *thud*, *hiss*, and *smack*.

The old lady stands at the side and observes the girl who is selflessly helping her, ignoring the potential danger. She smiles because few people will assist strangers when a risk is involved.

After rescuing the old lady from the kidnapper, onlookers gather to watch the dramatic scene unfold. During the struggle, the girl's arms get scratched. Upon seeing the injuries, the old lady offers to apply ointment, but she leaves when the police arrive.

The old lady sees her grandson also coming with the police.

Her grandson walks to her and asks, "Granny, Are you alright? I am sorry, I came late. The driver just told me that someone wants to kidnap you." He saw the girl leaving. Her brown eyes look familiar to him. He shrugged the thought away and turned his attention toward his grandma.

The elderly woman looked at her grandson and said, "I'm fine, John. But that girl, her arm is scratched. I wanted to apply ointment on her scratches, but she left." John looked in the direction the girl had gone. His crystal-grey eyes resembled an ocean, or at least that's what the girl thought.

John stays silent and helps his grandmother settle in the car. He drives away from the scene.

Government Intelligence Agency, GIA

The girl who had just beaten the two men entered the agency. She went to her boss, Mr. Kim's office, and greeted him. She reported to him attentively, "Sir, these are the details you asked me to bring. According to the information from our sources, they are planning something dangerous. I couldn't go there as someone saw me. I ran away before they caught me. Luckily, my face was covered."

Mr. Kim replied, "Okay, Anna you did a good job, and as a reward, I'm giving you a holiday of 1 year."

Anna understood her boss's intention when he granted her a year-long holiday. She couldn't help but think, 'I know exactly what he's getting at. Maybe he could just say it's a different assignment. A slight tweak, requiring me to stay in-country rather than go on an outdoor mission.'

Anna snapped out of her thoughts when she heard the sound of a door opening. Mrs. Lisa entered in a wheelchair. She was about to see a different side of her boss, and everyone in the office knew how much their boss doted on his precious wife. He stood up from his chair, walked over to his wife, and asked, "Lisa, why are you here? I told you to stay at home and rest. Is there anything you need?"

Mrs. Lisa replied affectionately, "I'm just missing my hubby. So I thought to give him a little surprise." She has a cute smile on her face. She is gorgeous. She has black hair and light brown eyes. Mr. Kim is handsome with brown-black hair and grey eyes.

Anna has become used to seeing the heartwarming displays of affection between her boss and his wife. She deeply respects and admires the genuine connection they share. Their kindness and support have been present since Anna was just 15 years old. They took her under their wing and provided her with guidance and training. Now 17, Anna is starting her very first mission, driven by her determination to uncover the truth behind her parents' tragic demise.

They turn to look at Anna. Anna was thinking about her past she hardly remembered.

Anna Rey lost her parents in a car accident when she was seven years old, which resulted in memory loss. Her parents, whose surname is "Matthew", were prominent figures in Q city, but their company went bankrupt before the accident.

Anna is a beautiful 22-year-old with brownish eyes, a sharp nose, and thin lips. She has long brown hair and is 1.68m in height.

Mr. Kim clears his throat, and Anna looks at him.

Mr. Kim said while giving her an envelope, "Anna, this is your new mission. The person in the envelope is very powerful and you have to guard him by changing your appearance as he hates women a lot. In this envelope, you have his all information."

Anna replied, "Sir, Can you tell me why he needs a bodyguard?"

Mr.Kim thought for a while before answering, "Because he is very important to us."

Anna stopped asking questions when she saw her boss's serious expression. She was sure he was hiding something. Upon receiving her mission, she left the room and met with her colleague, Sherry, who had been waiting for her. The two long-time friends sat in the cafeteria, chatting with each other before parting ways, as Sherry had to embark on a lengthy mission.

In the office, Lisa asked her husband with a worried face, "Do you think it's good to send her to him? You know how he is."

Kim answered his wife, "I know. Only she can handle him."

Lisa nodded her head.

Mr. Kim and Mrs. Lisa exchange a knowing glance, and a sly smile plays at the corners of their lips.

While Anna hadn't seen Madame Rey for a long time, she decided to meet her as she had to leave the next day.

Madame Rey, the kind-hearted and caring owner of the Orphanage, has been like a second mother to Anna, nurturing and guiding her every step. Her bond with Anna's parents, who were dear to her, continues to be a source of strength and support. Taking care of Anna is her way of honoring their memory and the love they shared.

Anna is close to Madame Rey. Madame Rey explains to Anna everything about her parents she knows. She narrates the story to Anna of how they met Madame Rey and helped her when she needed someone.

Madame Rey is the one who introduces Anna to Mr. Kim and Mrs. Lisa, and they later train her to become a spy. Madame Rey does not know that Anna is a spy in GIA.

Anna is on a mission to track down her parent's killer, and she's found the support she needs from GIA to make it happen.

The mystery of her family's sudden bankruptcy and the mysterious accident fuels her determination to uncover the truth. She's determined to unravel the mystery, and one day, she will succeed.

Anna stops in the middle as she feels someone following her from the time she left the agency. Whoever it is not from the agency, Anna plans to change her route to her best friend's house.

She didn't want to let someone know where she lived. Because if they find out, they will find out about her family.

Anna crossed paths with Mia, her closest friend from her college years in Massachusetts. Anna takes a while to let people in, and Mia is an extrovert.

The orphanage has a special place in Anna's heart as it was her childhood home. She yearns to revisit the orphanage after many years, eager to reconnect with the woman who has always been like a mother to her.
