The Assassin and the Gang✔️

Chapter 11

*Steel*

I wanted her so badly. I just needed to know how to get her. Lilith. It was such a glamorous name. And it sounded so sweet.

"Are you listening to me?" My father said, sighing. Had je been talking?

"No." I said, and he glared at me. I raised an eyebrow.

"I was saying," he said, "that The Shadow did the job perfectly, and on time. The money was transferred to him an hour ago."

That was impressive. Although, for The Shadow, it was probably nothing.

"Good." I said, leaning back in my chair.

I had been in my office when my father came in and had apparently started talking. Not that I had been paying him any attention though. At least The Shadow was a subject I could tolerate to talk about.

"Steel, my darling," Said my mother, entering my office as well.

"Knock first." I said glaring at her. Didn't she know that I needed my privacy? I was talking business, and she dared to just waltz in here?

My mother went back out, looking ashamed, and knocked.

"Come on in." I said, and she did.

"Dinner is ready. Would you two like to come eat? I made your favorite" She said, looking hopeful. I shook my head, and continued glaring at her.

"No. Why don't you go waste someone else's time?" I said, and she flinched like I had physically hit her. God, why was everyone in this house so desperate?

"All right," She mumbled, before walking away. My father stood then, and left the room without another word. I knew that he didn't like it when I disrespected mom, but that was just too fucking bad.

I grabbed my phone, and messaged my inner gang to go to the restaurant nearby.
They immediately replied that they were on their way.

As I left my office I passed the living room, where I saw my mother softly crying in a chair. Father was no where to be seen.

Why was she being so emotional today? Was it her time of the month of something? I quickly left, and met my inner gang at the restaurant where we had met.

All the way, the only thing on my mind was Lilith.

*Lilith*

I was watching the new movie "Moxie" on Netflix again, (A/N I absolutely love that movie) when I finally decided that I was going to dig deeper into Silvia.

The reason I didn't before was because I didn't want to intrude on her privacy, but it was damn obvious that something was wrong.

I got up from the most comfortable chair in the world in my living room, and walked towards the window with my phone in hand.

It was raining outside, and I absolutely loved the rain.

It cleared my mind, and made the frantic thoughts pauze, as they too listened to the relentless gushing of the rain.

I called the number I knew could help me right now. She was under the name 'anonymous'. She never exactly told me that she was an anonymous hacker, but it was quite obvious. I mean her name was literally anonymous.
