The Lady Gangster’s Mission For The Prince

Adira knows she has completed another mission, the result of which is a mission accomplished.

She was close to the warehouse where she was staying when she saw the shadow of a person in front of the door of the warehouse. As she approached it, it turned out to be Simon, and he seemed to be waiting for her. She stopped in front of him and didn’t leave her seat on the motorbike. “It’s already midnight; why are you still there?” she asked.

He came closer to her, and the only light between them was the moonlight. “Someone wants to talk to you,” Simon said.

She frowned. “Who?”

“Mrs. Torres.”

“Why?”

He just shrugged. “I don’t know why, but she called earlier while you were doing your mission.” He took a small piece of paper from his pocket and gave it to her. “You two will meet at the address written on the paper. She didn’t mention what it was for. She just said she just wanted to see you. ”

She folded the paper and grabbed the steering wheel of her motorbike again and started it. “Alright, I’ll go.” and completely left in front of Simon to park her motorbike at the back of the warehouse, which also has a door.

The next day, in a small restaurant that has a written address in the paper, as soon as she entered the restaurant, all the people’s attention was on her. She was dressed from head to toe in black, and her hair was braided again. What they see is a poker face that looks arrogant, so that’s just the way people look inside. She sat near the transparent wall and saw the person outside. She just focused on that while waiting for Mrs. Torres.

A woman in a white dress came in, and she immediately saw Adira. She immediately came to her and sat down in the opposite seat without any permission.

“Good morning!” she greeted Adira.

She turned to the woman in front of her. “Mrs. Torres?”

“Yes, I am, but please call me Carina.” The lady even smiled, showing her white teeth.

She just nodded, but she was thinking of Mrs. Torres’s looks as she saw them now. “Impossible! How did Mr. Torres manage to cheat if his wife is this beautiful?” a gentle face that, if it didn’t move, looked like a beautiful doll. She also has no makeup on her face but has long eyelashes like a doll and narrow eyes, a small nose, and sharp, thin lips.

“My partner says you want to talk to me,” she asked.

“Yes.”

“About what, and how did you know that I was Adira?”

Mrs. Torres smiled. “The person I talked to told me to look for the one with all-black clothes and an emotionless face. I saw you right away, so I knew you were Adira. ”

She folded her arms and asked again. “Why do you want to talk to me then?”

“I’m sorry, but I’m curious about your identity and why you’re popular among all the gangsters.”

“You know anything about gangsters?”

“I have a friend who is a police officer, and whenever he catches people breaking the law, he encounters a so-called gangster.”

She nodded. “I thought I was going to see a bad woman today, but based on what I see, you seem kind,” she said, avoiding looking at Carina. “But thank you very much for what you did because I woke up. Sebastian is already at home in the other room.”

Her forehead was gradually wrinkled. “Other room?”

Carina smiled sadly. “Yes, you probably also read in the details written on the paper what the state of our marriage is.”

“If the only thing he wants to take is your child, why did you agree to marry him? Shouldn’t you have refused to agree rather than simply not showing up with him because you have more rights to your child?”

Carina sighed. “Yes, I can do it even if it’s just me and my son, but my heart can’t handle heartache if my son doesn’t know his father. I guess it’s okay to see Sebastian be a father to his son even if he doesn’t treat me as his wife anymore.”

“How did you have a child if he doesn’t love you?”

Carina’s tears were forming, and at any moment they would flow down her cheeks. “One night we both got drunk because of a company party. I was his secretary at that time. We were in a hotel, and when I was about to enter my room, someone suddenly pulled me when I was about to enter my hotel room.”

She stared at Carina carefully. “You look like you’ve been loving your husband ever since.”

“I have to admit that I had a crush on him when I was his secretary, but I knew he had a girlfriend at the time, so I hid my feelings and continued working even though it was wrong.”

“If you were pregnant at that time, why didn’t you use your pregnancy as an excuse for him to choose you and your child all along?”

Carina smiled as tears flowed down her cheeks. “I would not force myself just because of the child I was carrying so that he would have pity and choose us, so I decided to resign and start over with just my son and me, but I could not fully imagine that he would find us and want to take the second life that came from me!”

“Why did you agree to get married?”

“I had no other choice but to not accept the marriage at that time because of Sebastian’s mother. Yes, she was kind to me, but she threatened me that if I didn’t marry Sebastian, she would take the child and I would never see him again. ”

She nodded. “What if the two of you don’t have a good relationship while your child grows up?”

“If that’s what happens, I have to start telling my son what is going on around him and why his mom and dad aren’t together.”

“You love him, right? You can endure the pain even when you’re hurt.”

A moment of silence passed, and Mrs. Torres was stunned before she smiled. “It’s possible, but apart from everything, I love my son more. I can do everything so that he doesn’t suffer in pain. Even if I’m the only one who will be crushed by the pain of Sebastian, my heart is whole for my son.”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

She showed a small smile at Carina because of her courage for her son. “Then good luck to you and your son, but I hope that when we meet again, you will be a complete family.”

She noticed that Carina took something from her bag, which was a bank check, and placed it on the table near me. “This is my payment for what you did. I didn’t give it to him. I was talking to your partner because I also want to see you.”

She took the bank check and looked at the written amount. She frowned at the amount she saw. “You put the wrong amount here. The payment for my missions is not this amount, especially since what I did was easier for you. ”

“Don’t worry, the amount written there is correct. Something happened because he came home, which he hasn’t done since we got married.”

She just shrugged. “Then thank you very much for this.” She put the bank check in her jacket pocket.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the transparent wall next to them. Carina smiled at the person outside. A man is holding a child, whom she suspects is Carina’s because they both look alike.

“Your child?” she asked Carina for confirmation.

“Yes, and my police friend that I was telling you about earlier. I will leave first. I’m so happy that I met a gangster like you. ” Then smiled.

Carina got up, and so did she, but she just remained standing next to the transparent wall while Carina left the restaurant. She was just looking at the child, while the person holding it was looking in another direction. When the boy saw Carina, he was so happy and clapped his hands as if he knew exactly who was approaching. Carina took her child from the man, who turned to her and waved before leaving.

She sighed. “Why do they look more like a family? And I feel like a heart that has not been reciprocated by love again. ” She just shook her head and left the restaurant and that place.

First, she exchanged the bank check that Carina gave her at a bank branch. She got almost the amount, then went out right away, but she saw some clothing stores with low prices. She walked and went to the clothing stand. She bought some clothes that she would use to take back to the prince’s country.

Soon after that, she left and drove home. When she got close to her house, she stopped in front of Simon’s house. Fortunately, she saw him outside having coffee. She walked over to where he was and sat in the chair opposite him.

“What did you and Mrs. Torres talk about?” Simon asked immediately.

She first put the things she bought on the table. “She gave me the payment, and it was just a little conversation.”

“Is that so?” He looked at the plastic on the table. “You went shopping. Why so many?”

She pushed the plastic closer to him because she bought the ones inside the plastic for Simon. Her other purchases are on top of the seat of her motorbike, which she will take with her when she leaves. “For you,” she said.

He was surprised while looking at her. “For me?”

“Yes.”

He smiled while looking inside the plastic. “Why so many of them now?”

“More is better.” Every time she finishes a mission, she buys Simon clothes, food, or whatever he needs. This part is not yet included in his payment either. He is alone and old, so as much as she can give, she gives to him so that he doesn’t feel sad or lose something to eat every day. He has been her mentor in becoming a gangster since her parents passed away, so even by simply buying clothes, food, or going to his house, he will feel that he has her even though he doesn’t have children. It’s not obvious from her face or actions, but she values him because Simon is the only person she usually spends together time with and also because he is her partner in missions.

“I’ll be gone, and I don’t know how long I will stay in the King’s country, so you better have a lot of things at home before I leave.” She took the envelope from her pants pocket and gave it to him. “This is your payment for the mission to Mrs. Torres.”

Simon took it and opened it. He immediately frowned. “Why is it so big?”

“Mrs. Torres also paid me too much, so the amount of your part is that.”

He smiled while still holding and waving the envelope containing the money. “Then thank you very much for this.”

She got up to leave. “My flight will be early while the sky is dark to return to King Stephen’s country. Be careful here, and you will take care of our place first until I’m not here. I’m sure when the other gangsters find out that I’m not here in our place, they will start to mess up again.”

“Don’t worry, I can still handle them even though I’m old, and you also know that I’ve been your mentor, right?” He smiled while raising both eyebrows.

She finally smiled. “Well, you’re right.”

“Also be careful, Adira, because even though you are the one who is feared here, the battle will be different from the country you are going to, especially if there is a war going on there.”

She nodded. “Noted, I’m leaving.” She walked to her motorbike and left immediately.

Simon just watched until Adira left. “I hope you have a good stay in that palace, Adira,” he said softly, before taking the plastic and going inside the house.
