Chereads / Devil Hearts / Chapter 2 - Chapter 1

Chapter 2 - Chapter 1

What a sunny day but still, it doesn't lift an inch of my mood. Good to be home, but too bad, it would be a stressful day.

I just came home from Italy. But then heard a bad news from my clan. I need to go to Akahoshi clan which is inside Imperial Phantoms- my Father's clan.

Me and my Father have separate clans. I made Akahoshi clan to prove him wrong, he thinks of me as a stubborn and irresponsible kid but actually I'm an opposite of that.

But I guess I just wasted my time on him. I hate him, like so much. He may be my father but I never forget all the things he did. Everyone's right, he should be sorry and he should be the making things in up, not me. He's the reason why mom died of loneliness, He's a selfish old man. I was blinded because I missed how he usually give me all his time, love and care. But all of that was gone because of him.

"Miss Zacharias" , Wish Father wouldn't be at his clan right now, I don't wanna see his face.

"Miss Zacharias", I looked at the driver and glared at him.

"What!?", I shouted

"W-we're here, Miss Zacharias", he stuttered

I looked at the car's window. I didn't realize that we already arrived at the shore. I opened the door and got my bag then slammed the door closed.

"Welcome back Miss Zacharias" the guards of the shore greeted. But I just ignored them.

They are the guards from imperial Phantoms, and they need to guard this shore because this shore was bought by my late grandfather.

I went inside the yacht and set off. I can see the Island from afar surrounded with tall big walls.

The yacht stopped. We have landed at the island. I got off from the yacht and enter the tall gate. These tall walls is to protect us from enemies on coming in.

People recognized me when I came in. They bowed their heads but I just passed over them. People think of me as a Cold, bossy and an arrogant lady. And yes there right, My personality's like that when I'm around people who I don't know.

I Went in the mansion. Where me and my members stays.

"Welcome back Empress" The maids greeted. They call me empress because that's my code name.

"Hey Ezlynn, Welcome back" Archer said when he saw me came in. Archer was the first member I recruited. He's like a brother to me.

"Hey Arch. Where are the others?"

"Veronica was sick. Venice's on a mission that, Sky and Li hou are now on the meeting room" I nodded.

We proceed to the meeting room. He brought out his Golden key card that I gave, only members can have it. Because a lot of important things are inside that meeting room, especially the files.

Once it's open we went in. I saw Li Hou scrolling on his phone, while Sky's smoking and checking on some files.

I sat done beside Li hou, I waved at him and he waved back.

"So? What's the news?" I asked them

"We found a letter this morning. I thought you were attacked but it's good to hear that you went home safely. Small group of guards were attacked on the shore, the other guards kept quiet because we want that us would tell you" Archer explained

"So what's the letter?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"We can't understand it, It's written in different language" Sky said. Archer gave me the letter for me to checked.

It's written in Italian language, I looked at sky and asked "Aren't you from Italy?"

"No dummy, I'm from France" Oh f*ck, right I forgot.

I can speak Italian but to lazy to read but fine whatever.

"Hello Mr. Zacharias, heard your daughter just went home. She's a stunning lady. Hmmm...How about I peel that milky skin of hers."

-X.

"That guts of that guy" Arched exclaimed

"Who's X?" I asked them, but no one knew about the X.

"What else?" I asked them if they got any more news. They looked at each other. I Sighed. Of course I need to tell my plan.

"For now let's be careful whoever that X is. Send more guards at the shore and plant a spy camera somewhere in there." They nodded.

"Someone wants to join our clan" Archer said out of nowhere, which caught my attention.

No one can join my clan unless I invited them though. Because Akohashi is an unknown clan, but everyone knows the name but don't know who's been running the clan.

"What's His/her name?" I asked them

"Bea" they all said.

"Bea? only Bea?" I asked

"Yup" They said again altogether

"Did you check her background?" I asked

"No, It was to hard to find" Li hou answered. I sighed.

"She said she would go back here on Friday for your answer" said Sky

"Fine, Let's just be careful" I said.

I want to meet Bea. It's strange that she knows who's been running the clan. Our clan has just been exposed to her. I need to meet her on Friday before she spill the beans.

"I need to take a rest first. I'll head upstairs" I told them. I need some rest, since I'm starting to have some headache.

"Okay, Take a lot of rest" Archer said, I just smiled at him and I headed upstairs.

I heard a sound and felt a vibration at my phone. I checked, a text from my Father.

"Heard you just arrived, Go home tomorrow at dinner. I set an important mission for you, Don't be late" Whatever. I will be late if I want to. Ugh.

Father only uses me as he's shield, he cares about he's reputation more than me. We would be fake in front of others. Smile there, smile here, smile everywhere. But every time we're at home we would ignore each other, just don't care what we do.

I hate it, I'm so sick of it. I tried making him proud but just a waste of time, Good that I found a new family who could really take care of me and who I can be happy with.

Another mission tomorrow. Another thing, this missions are giving me lots of headache. Of course father didn't set me just an ordinary mission, because if he would he would give it to one of his clan member.

As long as I want to fail my missions to see his ugly mad face, I can't. Because it's also for my reputation and my clan's reputation. I know that people don't know who's behind akahoshi clan, one day the truth will come out, and I don't wanna ruin our title because of my childish games.

"Welcome back, Empress" While I was going upstairs, I heard a familiar voice. I looked down and saw my good good brother. How can I forget.
