Axelia couldn't stop the frown that was forming on her, she simply couldn't understand how people worked. She was used for people to fear her, her last name held a reputation that everyone feared, and they had every right to do so. But, for once in her life, people were not fearing her, instead, they were mocking her.
She had always tried to keep herself away from the family business, she knew everything about it, and if she wanted, she could make everyone hate and fear her in a second, but for once, she decided to leave them be. Soon enough they'll learn.
With her head always high, she walked past her peers and out into the backyard. She had always adored being outdoors, free as she could be, knowing that she wasn't truly free.
"Axelia Moore," A baritone voice spoke, causing her to frown. "It is an absolute pleasure to meet you." Axelia raised an eyebrow. "Atlas Dortmund."
Axelia gave a single nod. "Atlas," She smiled. "It is a pleasure to meet you. I must say, that I wasn't expecting for someone to come near me."
Atlas chuckled as he sat down next to her. "Because of your last name?"
"Rather because I am an outsider," Axelia replied. "People don't really care about my name, they don't understand what it actually means, or the power it holds."
"Well," Atlas licked his lips. "I think that they are afraid of you," Axelia raised an eyebrow. "Look at you, your whole stance screams respect and mysteriousness. People don't like those things they don't understand, and yet, they won't try to understand it. You are an enigma, and one that I want to solve."
Axelia stared at the smug look Atlas held, he wanted to get close. No one could get close. "I see," She clicked her tongue and stood up. "Good luck," She added with a wink, as she walked away from him.
Atlas saw as she walked away from him, he smirked, she was aware of his power. No one has ever dared to walk away from him, but this girl had just left, leaving him with a dare. She was daring him to get close to her.

Raphael stared at the cameras; he was trying to assess the situation. He wanted to understand, how was it possible, how has this come to a dangerous situation, when everything was supposed to be in order.
"Get me, Lucas." He snapped as he hanged up the phone. This was impossible.
"You called," Lucas sighed as he entered the room. "Is it about the warehouse?" Raphael stared at him. "Someone tried to break in as we were storing the merchandise that came from the docks." He sighed and sat down. "Everyone knows protocol and all, but they started gunfire, and the security alarm was breached, so the emergency protocol was a mess." Raphael clenched his fist. "No losses from our part, neither human nor merchandise."
"Only that we know have the cops on our ass." Raphael stared at the cameras. "Who's responsible?"
"Dortmund."
"Fuck." Raphael slammed his fist on the table. "Why are they attacking us?" He growled. "We had an alliance!"
Before either could continue their conversation, Axelia slammed the door opened. "Atlas Dortmund," She spoke, and they frowned. "I dared him to befriend me." She added with a smirk. "You were looking for a job for me daddy? I already found one."
"What?" Raphael whispered. "What do you mean that you dared him to befriend you?"
"Axelia," Lucas spoke. "He's dangerous."
Axelia raised an eyebrow and rolled her eyes. "I'm very aware of the fact that his father is our competitor," Raphael raised his eyebrow. "I can work as a spy, getting information from him, without him realizing it."
"No."
"Daddy!"
"He's right Axelia," Lucas sighed. "But maybe, you can help us with something else." He added with an evil smirk.

Axelia frowned as the car parked. When she said that she wanted to help her father, she didn't mean doll up and go to dinner at the house of the one guy she had wanted to bug.
Raphael stared at his daughter, he understood that this wasn't something that she wanted, but he had to use this to his advantage. The Dortmund kid had shown interest in her, and that meant, an alliance, stronger than the one they had made on paper.
"Remind me again," Axelia sighed. "Why I said yes?"
"Because you are going to be helping," Raphael replied. "If you plant the bug, make sure that we don't get tracked down."
Axelia smirked. "We won't daddy," She added with a wink. "I was taught by the best, to never get caught."
Raphael patted his daughter's leg. "Let's go,"
"And break some hearts." Axelia flipped her head as she stepped out of the car.
