prologue

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My life is a tragedy, a deep dark tunnel of anguish, i know it will be. Its inevitable. From the moment i had learnt about the cruel past of my family and till now, i will accept it.

I will accept the fact that i was only born to be the next ruler to the Italian mafia.

There is a slight predicament. I am not a male. That patricarhy bull. No one knows what i look like, what gender i am. Only my parents and my aquaintance - Kenji. Hes a dumbass however advanced at sniping and guns in general.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My eyes hazy, slowly opening, adjusting to the brightness as someones gaze pierces through my skull.

Its my dad, I know it is even before i could adjust my eyes upon him.

"Wake up, your training was meant to..," he stares at his watch, "start 1 minute and 39 seconds ago, was your alarm not on?" He looks at me dissapointingly, waiting for an answer wearing his fine designed suit.
My dad looks well prepared everyday; well composed, monotonious, powerful, But he does not act like my dad. Not at all.

I dont reply, getting out of bed and walking to the bathroom; proceeding to get my toothbrush out. I can sense his presence behind me whilst i put toothpaste on my electric toothbrush. Hes waiting, watching me, analysing me, every action or movement i do; is being watched.

"Your mothers getting worse, what a shame really"

I stop brushing my teeth for a split second, as my eyes slightly widen as i push my head up and stare at him through the mirror reflection. "what did you do" i finally speak, my voice without emotion, staring impatiently waiting for an answer, which felt like an eternity.

One thing I've learnt from speaking to my father is he hates any emotion other than pure cruelty and hatred.

"You thought I wouldnt know that you let the person who stole last weeks shipment off" He says with utter nonchalance.

"i killed him"

"not his family though, dont worry I helped you out, just came back from greeting his family, they were rather welcoming. Shame, The lady welcomed me in with her children by her side but ended up with one bullet in her head along with her children "

I should've known. One of the most powerful and beligerent man in the world, watching my every move; i should've known he knew about me leaving the irrelevant traitors' family alive. Truth is, that man had been abusive towards his wife and children. I searched through records the day before my mission. I thought I was doing a good job by killing that ludricous man, he was so weak anyway, mentally aswell. Well i guess it didnt matter because this man, the man who has allies, friends who have the same physcotic mentality as him, is my father.

"how sick is she" ignoring what he had just said previously, thinking about one thing only. My beautiful mother.

"More drugs, shes addicted, they had to put sedatives in her" He says whilst looking at his watch impatiently, Like what he just said wasnt important to him whatsoever.

"you made her like this"

He finally looks up from his watch, eyes filled with disgust. "i thought i taught you better, stop caring. I dont know why you care so much about her anyway. She doesn't even remember you."

His footsteps are the only thing i hear as he leaves the room. As i continue to stare in the mirror as he was still here.

My mother.

I cant tell if my mother was terrified or in love with my father, it all looked the same.

"GOD DAMN IT SYLVIE, YOU LEFT ME DOWN THERE FOR 10 MINUTES," A voice shouts from outside my room.

BANG

BANG

As the person responsible is banging on my door.

Sighing and continue to brush my teeth as my day has just gotten worse. The male outside muttering about how much he hates waiting as it makes him feel 'lonely'.

God damn Kenji.
