Chapter 8 - Chapter 8 {Cruz}

"Well Liam Zhekova is marrying Maeve Frost!" The woman said and Akira smirked so her ex boyfriend is…going to be marrying one of her stepsisters. Akira couldn't help but have a cunning smirk on her beautiful lips Those two are so disgusting acting innocent but cruel behind people back.

Akira's smirk grew wider as she thought about the engagement between Liam and Maeve. She couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction, knowing that her ex-boyfriend was settling for someone like Maeve, who was just as manipulative and cunning as he was.

"How lovely," Akira said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "I'm sure they'll make a perfect couple... in hell."

Akira's eyes sparkled with amusement as she imagined the two of them together, playing their games of deception and manipulation. She couldn't wait to see how their relationship would play out, and how they would ultimately destroy each other.

"I'm sure their wedding will be a beautiful affair," Akira said, her voice laced with venom.

"I'll make sure to send a gift... a nice pair of knives to help them cut each other's throats."

Akira settled into her private quarters on the spaceship, a luxurious suite with a large window that offered a stunning view of the stars. She spent the flight reading, exercising, and meditating, preparing herself for her return to Heaven Crystal City. As the ship approached her home galaxy, Akira felt a mix of emotions: excitement, nervousness, and a hint of revenge.

Akira's eyes gleamed with determination as she made up her mind. She closed her Nieno device and stood up, her long black coat billowing behind her.

"It's time to go back to Quenio Galaxy," she said to herself, a hint of a smile on her lips.

"I have unfinished business to attend to."

*Akira walked out of the cafe, her long strides eating up the distance as she made her way back to her spaceship. She couldn't wait to get back to Quenio Galaxy and start making her move. The thought of Liam and Maeve's engagement was just the catalyst she needed to set her plans in motion.

"It's time to take back what's mine," Akira whispered to herself, a fierce glint in her eye.

"Mama! What is Quenio Galaxy like?"

Akira's expression softened as she looked at her triplets, who were eagerly asking about Quenio Galaxy. She smiled, her eyes sparkling with memories.

"Ah, Quenio Galaxy... it's a place of wonder and magic, my little ones. It's the most powerful galaxy in the universe, where the strongest and most advanced civilizations exist. The galaxy is filled with beautiful stars, planets, and galaxies, each with its own unique culture and history."

Akira's eyes seemed to gaze into the distance, her voice filled with a sense of nostalgia.

"I grew up in Quenio Galaxy, and it's where I learned to harness my powers and become the person I am today. It's a place of great beauty and great danger, where only the strongest survive. But it's also a place of great opportunity, where anyone can make their mark and achieve their dreams."*

Akira's gaze snapped back to her triplets, her expression serious.

"But, my little ones, Quenio Galaxy is not a place for the faint of heart. It's a place where you must be strong, brave, and cunning to survive. And that's why I'm taking you back there... to teach you how to be strong, to harness your powers, and to make your mark on the universe."

Akira's eyes narrowed, her voice low and serious.

"They're not worthy of kindness, my little ones. Show them the true meaning of power and strength. Don't hold back, and never show weakness."

Akira's gaze seemed to bore into her triplets, her eyes flashing with a fierce intensity.

"Remember, in Heaven Crystal City, it's every person for themselves. Don't trust anyone, especially not our relatives. They'll stop at nothing to get what they want, and I won't have you three being their pawns."

"Mama we don't need them we have you!" The triplets said and hugged their mama. Who chuckled.

Akira's expression softened, and she smiled as she hugged her triplets back.

"I'm all you need, my little ones," she said, her voice filled with warmth and love.

"We're a team, the four of us, and together we can conquer anything. As long as we have each other, we don't need anyone else."

Akira and her triplets settled into their routine on the spaceship, passing the time with books, games, and training sessions. Akira used the time to fine-tune her skills and prepare herself for the challenges that lay ahead in Quenio Galaxy. The triplets, meanwhile, were excited to explore their new surroundings and learn more about their mother's past.

As the days passed, the spaceship approached the outer reaches of Quenio Galaxy. The stars and planets grew more numerous, and the ship's sensors began to pick up signs of activity from the galaxy's many civilizations. Akira's eyes gleamed with anticipation as she gazed out at the viewscreen, her mind racing with strategies and plans.

The spaceship emerged from hyperspace, and the viewscreen flickered to life, displaying a breathtaking vista of stars, planets, and galaxies. The triplets gasped in awe, their eyes wide with wonder. Akira smiled, her own eyes shining with a mix of nostalgia and excitement.

"Welcome to Quenio Galaxy, my little ones," she said, her voice filled with pride. "This is our home, and soon we'll be taking our rightful place among the galaxy's elite."

The ship's computer beeped, announcing their arrival in the galaxy. Akira's eyes narrowed, her gaze flicking to the navigation charts and sensor readings. She plotted their course, her mind racing with the next steps in her plan.

"Prepare for entry into Heaven Crystal City's orbit," she said, her voice crisp and commanding.

"We have a appointment with the Nightingale Dynasty, and I don't want to keep them waiting."

Akira's eyes scanned the crowd, her gaze lingering on the faces of the onlookers. She smiled sweetly, her expression a mask of innocence, but her eyes gleamed with a sharp intelligence. The triplets stayed close to her, their eyes wide with wonder as they took in the sights and sounds of the bustling city.

"We're here," Akira said, her voice low and husky.

"Heaven Crystal City, the heart of Quenio Galaxy's power and wealth. And we're about to shake things up."

Akira's long, raven-black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall of night, drawing admiring glances from the crowd. Her slender figure was encased in a fitted black jumpsuit, accentuating her curves and showcasing her toned physique. The triplets, dressed in miniature versions of her outfit, looked like tiny, adorable versions of their mother. Akira walked straight outside where a man was waiting for Akira.

"Uncle Cruz," Akira said.

"Ms. Akira thank you come and get inside," Cruz said the diver eyes widen he knows that Cruz is an arrogant and a rude man who doesn't respect many people.

Akira's eyes narrowed, her gaze piercing as she gazed at Cruz. She smiled sweetly, her lips curling up in a calculated smile.

"Uncle Cruz, always a pleasure," she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

"I see you're as charming as ever."

The triplets looked up at Cruz, their eyes wide with wariness. They had heard stories about their uncle's behavior, and they didn't like him very much. Akira's hand instinctively went to their shoulders, her grip tightening slightly as she pulled them closer to her.

Cruz respected Akira if it wasn't for her four years ago he would of died but he was saved.

Cruz's expression faltered for a moment, his eyes clouding over with a mixture of gratitude and resentment. He cleared his throat, his voice taking on a slightly softer tone.

"Ah, yes, well, let's not dwell on the past, shall we?" he said, his eyes flicking to the triplets before returning to Akira.

"I'm sure you're eager to get settled in. Your...quarters are ready for you."

Akira's gaze never wavered, her eyes boring into Cruz's as if daring him to say something more. The triplets looked up at her, sensing the tension between their mother and uncle. They stayed close to Akira, their eyes fixed on Cruz with a mixture of wariness and curiosity.

"Ms. Akira I need your help," Cruz said and Akira raised her eyebrows.

Akira's expression turned skeptical, her eyes narrowing slightly as she gazed at Cruz.

"What could you possibly need my help with, Uncle Cruz?" she asked, her voice laced with amusement and a hint of disdain.

"I'm sure you're perfectly capable of handling whatever situation has arisen."

The triplets looked up at Akira, their eyes wide with interest as they watched the exchange between their mother and uncle. Akira's grip on their shoulders tightened slightly, as if warning them to stay close and be careful.
