Life is full of pretentious act. So make sure not to get swayed and fooled.
To protect me, and make sure that I'll live a normal life, I am deprive of living with my parents. Not until I reached the right age.
How fucked up is that, right? What kind of parents would let their child live alone?
Its started when a bullet almost pierce my heart. My parents almost lost me if not with their influence and the advanced technology the world has offered.
Imagine losing your child at the age of five, in an unnatural death? Its devastating.
So they sent me to an island where high-end agents and best assassins were trained. And since then, my life revolves around training. I lost count of the wounds I get during my trainings. But everything was paid of.
I have a 13th level in all kinds of martial arts, and a very advanced skill in any kinds of weapons.
It was then that I started accepting missions. Almost all of my mission were undercover.
I am also a Professor by profession. I specialized in business related courses, since I'm mastered in business management. I am expected to handle my parents empire when the time comes.
I don't know when was the last time I saw my parents. Maybe ten years ago? They stopped visiting and contacting me when I was ten years old, telling me that its dangerous for me dahil daw mainit pa sa kanila ang mata ng mga competitors nila sa business. At baka masundan pa daw sila sa isla. To be honest, I almost forgot their faces.
Well, enough about my depressing situation. Let just talk about my current undercover mission. I'll be covering as a college student who lives alone in a condo. No parents, and literally have no relatives to run into.
How ironic? Should I pretend still? Isn't what my real life is?
Were solving a serial killer case that is rampantly happening in the Philippines. We do not usually involve ourselves in an international affairs. But my agency believes that it is somewhat related to the smuggling of women in few countries, including Spain, in the case that the agency is struggling to solve.
This is a very serious special case, kaya sa akin ibinigay ang mission. I don't have a team, I prefer working alone. Less hassle, less talking.
As to why I need this cover up, the notorious serial killer, is targeting college students, specially those that do not have anything in their sleeves. Mga independent women.
As my cover, para mas kaaya kaaya at mas kapani-paniwala, I will be a tourism student. A scholar, and a private tutor. The condo was given to me by my beneficiaries. Ganun sila ka-galante, according sa files na ginawa ng agency para sa katauhan na gagampanan ko.
I was in the middle of my mission, luring the killer using my innocent fragile face, I almost got him. Almost. Kung hindi lang nag-ala prince-in-shining-shoes ang kung sinomang pontio pilato na bigla na lamang dumating sa kalagitnaan ng misyon ko.
Damn it!
Paniwalang-paniwala na yung killer eh, mahuhuli ko na sana siya!
Still in my Oscar winning act, I continued to play along. Hinayaan ko ang estrangherong lalaki na iligtas 'kuno' ako. Kahit ang totoo, pwede ko na agad patayin ang hayop na killer, nga lang ay kailangan ng mga nabiktima nito ang justifiable justice.
Unahin ko na munang patayin itong pakialamirong lalaking to! Naggigigil ako sa kanya, promise!
But when I finally saw my 'savior's' face, I know I'm in deep shit trouble. And when he smiled at me? My heart is in trouble!
I am August Atlantis de Mercedes, secret daughter of the duke of Spain. I'm an agent-assassin.
I have a title of a future duchess. And I'm suffering because of it.
