Chereads / Lilith: Hidden boss / Chapter 3 - For survival

Chapter 3 - For survival

5 years ago, she used to live with her grandparents in UK. She never remembered her childhood, her grandparents told her it was trauma she suffered when she was 8 years old. So she couldn't remember anything about her parents. Her grandparents were very strict people but they loved her deeply. Her identity was always mystery to her.

Royal academy was where she went to study; it was an academy for royals and billionaire's children. Boys would learn politic and economy from young age, girls would learn how to take care of their husband and also help them from behind, every single kid was not that simple they had a background and power. Most of them meet their spouse in the academy and make their family proud.

Lilith was prodigy amongst prodigy, her learning ability was inhumanly, and she learned every single thing to be the perfect wife. But she didn't felt enough so she learned about business and politics with boys, her talent in business was visible to eyes, many parents set their sight into this little girl who was shining brightly. She turned into cold beauty who received many admiring gazes from her peers.

But one day this calm life ended abruptly, her grandparents were killed in front of her by group of unknown people. Her grandmother gave her address in her last breath and let her run away quickly.

That night she fled away from there only with a piece of paper. She wanted to know what was happening and her answer lays in that piece of paper so she didn't even hesitate to go USA. She arrived at the big manor but to her surprise bullet was the first thing she faced when she entered the gate. It was sure kill move but she somehow luckily escaped from there with bullet in her shoulder. Her foot bring her to the dark street her wound was big but she resisted the pain because she knew if she fainted then the game would end.

Then she heard another gunshot but it was not directed to her, she saw someone falling down, in the ground there were already 4 bodies which looked lifeless. Under the dim street light middle aged man's face appeared before her, he was extremely cautious, the moment when she wanted to turn around his voice sounded from behind

"Stop" she did as he said, when she turned back their eyes met, he was surprised when it was little girl who would faint anytime soon, he thought she would beg him to spare her life but when he met her gaze again, she looked extremely calm, it was not acting she was really calm. Blood was still flowing from her shoulder but she was still standing tall, she impressed him but he would never leave witness so he lifted his gun to pull the trigger.

"let's make a deal" her hoarse voice ringed in his ears, he waited and let her continue "if you save me I will prove to you that I am worthy" her voice was weak but sincere. He saw many kind of people who would try to save their asses when they are facing with death but this was new to him, he smirked to her

"convince me" he said but didn't put down his gun

"I am very good at many things, I can earn money for you"

"I have many people who wants to earn money for me" he said smugly

"I am very talented singing, dancing, music or painting" she feels she was getting weaker and weaker

"I can just go to theatre so why should I need you?" at this moment her eyelids became heavier so she blurted whatever entered her mind

"I can be your family member" she muttered but it was audible to the men, when his eyes lit up she realized she won't die because of this men. Something changed his mind but she might die because of blood loss. She fainted there and couldn't hear his words

"Family member?" he repeated her words and looked at the petite body that is now lying on the ground, he put his gun in the holster and make sure she was alive "then little girl it's deal"

She lifted her from the ground and hesitated a bit, too weak. Someone like him never bothered about someone who is as weak as her. He would walk away without looking back and she will die here.

Family, he never used this term since he became conscious but when this word came out from this little girl's mouth it became appealing and he wanted to experience something new. He again remembered her unwavering gaze and somehow he felt like she was similar with him when he was young.

'Don't regret' he mumbled in his mouth and walked to his car while carrying her.

He was feared leader of mafia but when he returned with unconscious little girl in his arm, everyone was surprised greatly. He was a lone wolf who would never attach to any other human being, he didn't have a family, lover or friend this was unexpected situation to people.

He called his personal doctor and handed her to him

"take care of her, make sure she would live"

"who is she?" doctor asked actually everyone wanted to know this too

"my daughter" he said and turned back to outside, confused expression plastered every other faces

'daughter? Your sister. She is clearly pure Asian while you are blue eyed, blonde European men. Who would believe you' but they didn't dare to utter their thoughts out loud

That middle aged man was a Lorenzo Gallo, Lilith's father who found her from the street in that faithful day. She knew he wasn't good person but to her he was good enough to make her stand alone in this harsh world, he never cared about any one or any animal but that time he really cared about Lilith

During this time with her by his side he started to feel emotions to being a father, she feels like his real daughter. He wanted to protect her but also wanted to make her stronger at the same time.

So he sent her to evil training base without hesitation, because being a daughter of him was like a living bait. He doesn't want to see her suffering but in the end his selfish side won and wanted her to remain by his side and only strong person would remain there without being killed.

She knew his intention and went to ZIP without hesitation, because she also wanted to be strong. He knew she was special but he never imagined that only in one year she trained to the limitation of human being and won over ZIP's vice commander position.

After her return he changed his mind and prepared her to be his heir. She didn't disappoint him either, and over a span of 5 years, she grew up and became strong, independent and beautiful woman, she was his only pride. Their bond was even ticker than blood bond.

He taught her personally, the training was harsh but she endured everything and gritted her teeth to the ending. Even A level mercenaries died because of difficulty of the training yet she remained until the end with her petite body and terrifying willpower.

At the same time she was searching about her origin but that was very hard to find out because her whole information was blocked by C countries government. Her birth her name even her grandparents' information was unreachable but one thing was sure someone wants her death.

So she planned for a long time to return C country and find out truth behind her grandparents death. One thing she hated was being threatened, so it was impossible to let go of this hidden obstacle. Now she is standing at the peak of Europe and America's legal and non-legal business and gathered enough strength, she finally decided it is time to make her move.
