Assassin's Secret

chapter 9

Astralea's POV

It's been 3 weeks since the attack on Mira. Tia made it through the surgery. As soon as she got stable enough to not bleed out we got her to our house to our doctor.

Couldn't risk it.

She already recovered but the doctor told her not to get into any fights for at least another month. To which she responded with "but it's okay to shoot people right".

She is pissed. Pissed that she couldn't protect her, but we know she did everything she could. She still feels the guilt.

We are all on edge, through the file I gave dad they figured out who is behind all of it and what are our next moves. Nex and I aren't kept in the loop though. I think Adron thinks that the moment we find out the name we will go and kill that man or woman.

And he isn't wrong, that's the plan.

He said that there are bigger cards in the game, whatever that means.

Nex and I spend our free time training together during the day. At night he goes to the ring and I go and kill people as Luna. We didn't go today though, father told us to meet him downstairs later. Which is exactly where I'm going right now.

"Thanks to the file Luna got for us and Intel Nex gained, we know what's actually going on." My father stated "Russians were targeted on purpose. The rumor is around that we and Italians are in possession of the most destructive bomb. Needless to say when the attack happened we were first suspects. We also found out that there has been an attack on the Italian family, unsuccessful as well."

Mira is in a fucking coma, I wouldn't call that unsuccessful.

"Italians and us never been on great terms, but we also haven't been in bad ones since early 2000s. This is why I am going to discuss temporal unity of our mafias at the Grand Ball."

"Hold on, you want us and Italians to work together?" Nex asked. "There is a very high chance that we will kill each other before Russians do."

And I am with him on that one. There is no way in hell I'm working with them. And his class A assassin is probably trying to kill me so that won't end well.

"You all will behave at least until the end of the Ball. Astralea, Adron and I are going to go to the ball, Nex you will stay here and watch Mira."

"Wait, I thought we all made an agreement that I'm not going to the Ball." I fucking hate that thing. So stupid, a bunch of billionaires and gang leaders spend time together while secretly plotting to killing each other.

And I can't bring any weapons with me, where is the fun in that.

"Yes, but that was before those fuckers put my daughter in a coma!"

I've never heard my dad talk like that. He wasn't pissed, he was the devil. I never realized how hard this  hit him until now.

"Astralea, I already have 4 designers come in tomorrow with dresses for you to try. Please don't kill them." If he thinks I'm going to kill everyone how come he never noticed that I am Luna. Or does he know but just doesn't want to admit it?

"And please behave there, as you know you can't kill anyone on their territory due to an agreement. " Adron looked at me.
