Within five years of isolation from outside world, Samantha is starting her training on assassin skills with Leone while honing her hacking skills.
Prof. Fredrick also replaced Prof. Daniel as a teacher on the academic areas.
"Congratulations, Samantha. I already imparted to you all of assassination techniques and you quickly learned it all. Our training will be ended after two months" Leone said while smiling at her. He is very proud of his student. She easily learned and didn't complain a bit as well as always following his reminders during combat sparring.
Samantha bowed to Leone, "Master, thank you for everything you have done for me" she said emotionlessly but Leone could feel her sincerity.
"You don't have to thank me, Samantha. I think it's time for you to debut in Underworld. I'll bring you to the guild after you finished your training" Leone patted Samantha's shoulder. He already treated her as his little sister. Within the past five years, he saw her grow faster than any assassin students he encountered before. She has potential in this field but he's worried of her being cold to others.
"Yes, I will follow Master's advice" Samantha replied. She's glad she learned from Leone. He's a strict teacher but good enough for her to open up a little bit.
Since when did she start being cold towards others? Sighs. She doesn't remember. Whenever she tried to remember why, her head splits apart like it is preventing her from remembering such important event of her life. She wanted to talk to a psychologist but her grandfather disapproved it. She felt helpless.
His grandfather, Zandro Velasco, was managing the Velasco Corporation while trying to sound out who is the owner of Project SS Corporation.
Project SS Corporation rises into a world-class company five years ago. It focuses on trading stocks and goods around the world. It started its business in Country P by trading goods with international companies and its branches quickly spread to other countries. It becomes the potential partner target for the merchants but only selected few get contracted.
Some merchants were furious of Project SS's arrogance of only accepting selected few merchants and started investing on the owner's background. Unfortunately, no one could get information about the owner but there was one rumor that the owners are twins.
No one could validate such rumor that's why it stayed as rumor. Only that one clue spreads around the aristocratic merchants in business world.
One day, the merchants all over the country decided to investigate even further. They didn't believe that they couldn't get valid information and also hired hackers to bypass citizens' data but still failed.
"Master, I think the background of the Project SS owners is special. We couldn't get hold of anything even a tiny bit" the young assistant of Zandro reported after numerous investigation.
Zandro raised his hand to signal 'stop' him and said, "Stop the investigation. I think they know they are being investigated by all merchants and already be prepared of such event" he ordered.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
Then, the door opened and an old woman entered. She's the wife of Zandro but couldn't bear a child for her husband. It may look like Zandro doesn't mind at all but he does. If not, who would inherit his wealth? This is one of the reason why he decided to register Samantha on his family tree.
"When will you come back at home?" she asked. Her voice sounds gentle but she's not.
"Samantha is in the mansion. As a grandmother, you should take care of her" Zandro said without looking at the direction where the old woman stands.
"I already told you! She's not my granddaughter and she will never be my granddaughter! She's not abiding my orders and always ignored me!" Mrs. Velasco couldn't tolerate it anymore. Her husband always told her to build kinship with Samantha but she couldn't!
She doesn't know why she hates Samantha. It's like the hate comes from the deepest part of her heart that was already buried deep.
Zandro frowned on his wife's words; "If only you give me a son, I wouldn't never have adopted her in our family" he harrumphed.
Mrs. Velasco's veins bulged out, "Since when are you become so defensive on that pathetic girl?!" she shouted.
Her eyes widened when she realized something and looked at with disbelief, "If you didn't register her in our family, I might suspect that she's your little mistress" she continued.
"Andrea!" Zandro shouted.
"What? We are always arguing every time we talk about her! Why? Is it because she looks like your lovable Sylvia?!" Andrea Velasco, his wife, shouted with rage.
Zandro sighed and said to his young assistant, "Your Madame is tired. Tell her bodyguard to bring her back home"
Andrea's eyes looks at her husband. There's an indescribable emotion inside her heart. "Tell me, is she that woman's grandchild?!" she asked loudly which got the attention of employees.
Her bodyguard arrived and held both of her arms while looking at her husband.
She couldn't accept it! 'Why? Why is she still the one who's always in his mind even though she's already gone a long time ago?'
She pushed her bodyguards, fixed herself and left.
"You want her to become your heiress? Huh! I would do everything to ruin that child's reputation. Let's see if she could still have your wealth. Even though she could have it, her ruined reputation will surely follow her every where she goes" she smiled devilishly because of her thoughts and entered the car.
"Madame, are you coming back home?" her driver asked. She wanted to scold her driver but had held back.
Suddenly, her phone vibrated and an unknown phone number appeared on the screen. She frowned. She doesn't remember any number like this.
She has no choice but to accept the call. "Finally, I can talk to you!" a man's voice from the other side.
Andrea's eyes filled with horror when she heard the familiar voice. "Sh*t! How did you get my number?" she asked furiously while the man laughed loudly.
"Oh! It's easy! But that's not the reason why I want to contact you" he stared calmly.
"What do you want?"then, she slowly calm down and the silhouette of that man appeared in her mind.
"Simple. I want your connection for trading drugs just like before. I'm sure it is easy for you to do it" he said while flirting laughs of women echoed from the other side of the call.
Andrea's eyes darkened. "If you want to contact me, you should avoid flirting with other woman" she blurted out.
The man's brow furrowed and laughed, "Ohh~ You're still a jealous woman as ever~"
Andrea scoffed, "That's my condition" she replied.
"All right, Sweetheart" the man's voice turns gentle and she smiles.
"I'll contact my connections tonight. Where do you want to meet up?" she asked and tucked her hair behind her ear while imaging that man's sex drives which makes her flushed.
"Oho~ my sweetheart is so quick~ Lets meet up in our usual place" he replied and ended the call. Andrea's heart feels excited.
Meanwhile, Samantha's frigid eyes looked outside the window of her bedchamber while listening to and recording the conversation between Andrea Velasco and the unknown man. She never expects that her so-called grandmother still has freshly meat left for the others to covet.
Samantha picked up her phone and called someone she knows in FBI while providing the information about the drug dealings that will happen soon.
"I will wait for your next information, Sam" the excited man from the other of the call.
"I will send you after I obtain information about the meeting place, Mr. Hugo. " she said and ended the call.
Samantha becomes the secret informant of the FBI whenever she spied on Velasco couples about their illegal activities. She's the reason why the deals failed.
Her codename is Sam and she started being an informant three years ago. The FBI tried investigating her but to no avail, failed. This arouses the suspicion of the higher-ups but Mr. Hugo doesn't mind of Sam's identity as long as he is getting accurate information.
Within this three years of being acquainted with Sam, Mr. Hugo got advice from Alexander of not to provoke this so-called information because Sam could easily send them the information while in hiding.
It also means that Sam knows everyone inside FBI while they are being blind of Sam's identity but one thing they know, is that Sam is choosing to side with justice proven by Sam's actions shown to them.
Although Zandro wanted to announce her as heiress, she couldn't count herself as Velasco because of how Zandro see her as toys. She always opposed him secretly but following his orders whenever he wanted her to do something shady.
Samantha turned her head towards the bed and saw the ghost-like figure of Sandra. Sandra is looking at her filled with smiles.
"I want to meet you, Samantha. Will you please agree?" Sandra asked with expectant eyes.
Samantha sighed and sat beside Sandra. "Have you learned something new?" she asked tenderly. Yes, she treated Sandra as a twin sister now. Sandra is the primary reason why she wanted to go in this life while being shrouded with darkness.
"Okay but in one condition" Samantha smiles at her. Sandra's heart becomes excited when she heard her agree.
"YES! Say your condition!" her eyes brightened.
Samantha smiled and said, "I want to meet you alone and I don't want anyone following us. Anyone means even your bodyguards" she said seriously.
Sandra nodded and tried to hug Samantha but her body went through Samantha's body. She forgot that her body is now ghost-like figure and laughed.
"So, when will we meet up?" Sandra asked.
Samantha is thinking of a place but Sandra interrupted her, "How about we meet up in amusement park?" she asked.
"why do you even have to ask me when you already thought of the place?" Samantha's mouth twitched.
Sandra laughed and hurriedly left in order to inform her father while Samantha didn't stop her.
Alexander already used to hearing about Samantha from Sandra and knows that Samantha wouldn't bring harm to his daughter.
He wanted Sandra to bring her bodyguards but she refused.
"We want quality time alone, Papa" Alexander's lip twitched on Sandra's reason.
