Ella's POV:

When I entered, A pair of Lucifer's eyes pierced through mine. I swallowed a lump in my throat. My five senses ready for a sharp weapon comming against my direction and hands gripped tightly around a swiss knife for protection.

"Demon..." he uttered. Napansin ko si Jet na naka-upo sa harap ng lamesa ni Dad habang may hawak na mga papeles. He's like completely unaware of the both of our existence.

Napa-lunok ulit ako, masking my emotions. "Dad....I accomplished the mission" I said with full confidence.

"I know" tipid niyang sagot. Those evil eyes still fixed into mine.

I removed the coat around my shoulder and I saw my father's eyes glinted with excitement when he saw the necklace.

Lumapit ako sa lamesa niya katabi si Jet. In a swift movement, I felt a warm breath behind me. I can feel his fingers slowly unlocking the necklace's chain. His fingers sweeped through my bare neck that send tingles to my body. I gently bit my bottom lip and unconsciously stoop my head, giving him more access. He succesfully unhooked the chain and placed it above my father's desk.

" A job well done, Mr. Smith. Even though Demon have been a burden to you " A pang of pain held my heart.

Napa-ngiti ako ng mapait, habang naka-yuko parin.

" She was never a burden, Alpha. In fact, I am impressed with her skills. You trained her well " rining kong sabi ni Caspian.

My father scoffed " She's indeed skilled, but never enough. For me, she's not that good"

With the words he said, my chest begun trembling because I felt my heart breaking. Tumingin ako sa direksyon ni Dad.

"He is right, Lord Caspian. I am not that skilled " sabi ko habang pekeng naka-ngiti.

Dad smirked " Sono contento che tu sai , Demone . Hai bisogno di fare di più se si vuoi che io sia orgoglioso di te " (I'm glad you know that, Demon. You need to do more if you you want me to be proud of you)

" Naturalmente , Alpha . lo so "I said through gritted teeth and clenched fist.(Of course, Alpha. I know )

I can feel the tension rising in the room.

"Excuse me, Alpha " pang-agaw attensyon ni Jet. Narinig ko siyang lumakad palayo at ang pag bukas at isara ng tuluyan ang pintuan.

Dad broke his gaze at me and picked up the necklace.

" You're dismissed, Demon. Antonio will call you if you will be needed for another mission" sabi niya, na hindi manlang tumitingin saakin.

" I'll do it immediately " I said.

" sicuro che sarà , perché di tutte le persone a sapere che io non accettare errori ! Sei fortunato che ho accettato un fallimento come te " ( sure you will, because you of all people know that I dont accept failures! You're lucky that I accepted a failure like you.)

I stood there quietly. Nabato ako doon pero nanghihina na ang tuhod at loob ko. Ilang beses niya nang sabihan ako ng mga masasakit na bagay pero, masakit parin hanggang ngayon. Akala ko, manhid na ako.

Akala ko lang pala.

" Of course a failure. E 'così che mi vedi " I smiled bitterly at him (That is how you saw me)

" Cosa vi aspettate allora? " He questioned while glaring at me (What do you expect then?)

My fist balled " Per voi a vedere me come un assassino esperto, il vostro successore , e la vostra .......daughter " I whispered the last part (For you to see me as a skilled assasin, your succesor, and your.......daughter)
