June 13th, 2018. Aarhus, Denmark

Eva sat on one of the couches, her laptop open on the coffee table and the tv on with the news. Headlines blurred across the bottom of the screen as North Korea plummeted. One of the headlines read Breaking News: Kim Jong-Un and Donald Trump confirmed dead! Eva laughed as she checked her bank account where an $80 million deposit had just been made by the United States Defense for 'Aiding US operations'. More like aiding in the assassination of two world leaders.  

To say the rest of the world hadn't let out a huge breath was an understatement. Within months North Korea and South Korea will be re-joined as one nation under a representative democracy. Meanwhile, Congress is looking to appoint Hillary Clinton as the new president due to the pressure of the general public. Sure, they were bypassing the usual regulations and order of US succession but we are a 'government of the people, by the people, for the people...' -Abraham Lincoln, and the people are saying 'Hillary Clinton'. 

Eva's phone rang and she picked up the call by the Deputy Director.

"It's done," Eva said as she grabbed a cherry from the bowl on the table.

"I know, the whole world knows. I called to say thank you for providing the wine," He said.

"And it won't be traceable?" Eva asked before she sucked the cherry off its stem.

"Not a chance. We had a different wine poured first, then after they drank from their cup we refilled in with your delivery. After that, the poisoned wine was disposed of along with the bottle," The man replied and Eva smiled.

"Good. We can't have people finding out my family's secrets now can we?" Eva jested.

"Quite right. And thank you again, you have helped us on the road to restore order in this world," He replied before they said goodbye and hung up.

Eva set her phone down as she grabbed a tissue to spit the cherry pit in. She smirked as she pulled up the Versace website. She scrolled through the dresses until she found one she liked. She immediately ordered the Medusa Button Dress and had it shipped to the Aarhus. Nothing like treating herself a bit after aiding in the murder or two lunatics. 

"I think I'm going to buy myself another house," Eva said to herself as she pulled up Zillow.

Knowing that the honeymoon would take them to Hawaii, Eva entered that into the search bar. She then altered the filters to better suit her needs. Then she found it, a beautiful $15 million estate on Hawaii. Even better was that it had its own private beach which was a necessity for Eva. She absolutely loved it so she quickly contacted the agent before calling Sofia.

"Hey, so I found a house I want on Hawaii. Complete the transaction and let me know when it's done," Eva stated as she clicked through the pictures.

"Very good ma'am. And may I ask how many other properties you own?" Sofia asked hesitantly.

"This will be number ten. Over half of these have been in my family since the 1940's," Eva replied.

"What about ones that are in your name?" 

"That would be four. When my dad passes, Pulchritudo will be in both Ricci's and my name. Is that all? Eva remarked. 

"Oh! Yes, yes, that's all Ma'am," Sofia said and Eva immediately hung up.

Eva looked up as the latest developments in the assassination of the late Kim Jong-Un and now late-President Trump. The autopsy on Trump had concluded and it was revealed that the cause of death was due to cyanide poisoning. Eva leaned back against the couch and throw pillow, before turning the TV off.
