I opened my eyes to find everywhere dark; I couldn't see sh*t. Everywhere was cold, and I realised that I was tied to a chair. My heart started to beat repeatedly. What the fuck is going on? Where am I? Not too long I heard strong footsteps coming towards me.
“She is awake, boss." I heard a voice say, Wait, I know that voice is one of the people that work in the underworld. Oh sh*t, I was kidnapped, but how come? I couldn't remember anything.
“Look who is finally awake.” My boss said it in a hard tone. That's it; whenever she uses that tone, it means the person is not going out alive. That's my boss—so cruel, heartless, and ruthless. She doesn't care who she has to kill to get what she wants. Sometimes I don't see her as my mother, but rather as an asset to her business. The mask was removed from my face, and I immediately saw my boss sitting down in front of me, boiling in anger. I feel weak. I don't know what to do or how to explain.
“Anything you want to say before you leave this earth," my boss said in anger. She slapped me so hard in the face that I winced and spat out blood. If I even get out alive here, then that's a fucking miracle.
“ Why the fuck are you not continuing with the mission? Don't tell me you have feelings for that asshole, because I will fucking kill you both. You know our rules and regulations: your mission or your life,” she said, fuming in anger.
“I…..uhm….” I don't even know what to say because, truth be told, I've fallen in love with Ryan, and I can't help it.
“Shoot her,” Telly said, and she walked out of the room. That's the last thing I heard before blacking out.
I woke up sweating profusely, and my heart rushed to my
I can't see anything; my vision is blurred, only to discover I was still in the room on my bed. That was a terrible dream. Oh sh*t, that was too close. This is not happening to me. I have to find a quick way to finish my mission.
I stood up lazily from going to the bathroom. Well, thank God—my bathroom is beside my bedroom. I live in a single apartment with a bedroom, a bathroom, and a kitchen. There's not much furniture, because once I'm done with my mission, I'm out of here. Inside the bathroom, I wash my face and look at myself in the mirror, with my scattered hair, thinking about my life. I have no close friends, no lover, no one cares about me, and I'm not a normal girl. Checking the time on my phone at 4:30 am, I still have time before getting ready for work. I work at the biggest restaurant in California. I travel from Chicago to California for my mission. My name is MIA. I am 20 years old. I started working for my mother, Telly, at the age of 15 years old. I am 5’6 tall, have long dark hair, and brown eyes. I have a secret room where all my plans are displayed. I walk into my secret room to look at what I draw from the information I got about Ryan. My mission is to kill him and his sister. I don't know the reason for their deaths, and it's not something I can ask my boss or do if you don't want to die.
Ryan is a very powerful man; he has so many bodyguards and security measures that make him impenetrable. My stomach growled. I remember one of my neighbours bringing me tteokbokki and kimchi yesterday when I was going out. I just have to cook the rice and eat it with kimchi. My phone rings, which scares the hell out of me because I'm not expecting any calls. Checking the caller ID "Boss,” I grunt. I hate talking to her early in the morning. She is a mood spoiler.
“ Remember the rules: no mistakes, no hard feelings, no friendship, your mission or your life,your choice." Telly said in a hard tone. No greeting—well, that's how it is to her, no formality, no matter how long you've been working for her.
"Yes, boss,” I replied coldly. She knows I hate talking to her; ,she never once cared that she gave birth to me, which is so fucking frustrating. After the ridiculous call, I continued cooking, and in less than 10 minutes, I was done. I'm not a fan of coffee, because my boss believes that it is for weak people and weakens the mind. After I was done eating, I checked my phone for any messages—a message from Kelvin, the only person that cares for me and that I take as a brother.
“Kelvin: Good morning, beautiful, You up?”
“Mia : Morning to you, too handsome.”.
“Kelvin: Don't let that psychopath get to you and ruin your day early in the morning. Be careful. You know Ryan is a very powerful and ruthless man, just like our boss. I want you to be sound and alive after the mission. I also have something interesting to share with you about Ryan (smile and love emoji).”.
“Mia: Okay, sure, and what is that?”
“Kelvin: I will send the documents and the picture through your other email, go through it and tell me what you think.”
“Mia: does the boss know?”
“Kelvin: Hell no, you want me dead.”
“Mia: Okay I will.”
Checking the time again at 6 '0 clock I should be getting ready for work. I stood up, ready to go to the bathroom and wipe the dirt off my body, and then there was a knock on the door. I wonder who's it, and this is too early for shally to come. Checking the security camera, no one is there, then there is another knock, followed by another one even stronger. I pick up my G-lock gun and dash my kitchen to the door, opening the door ready to fire, but there's nothing there except for the medium box that locks with a passcode and a small paper on it that says, “Do you want to know who killed your father?" . What the fuck is this?
