ASHLYNN'S POV-

Up till a few years ago, if you'd have told me that I'll become a billionaire and own the most powerful mafia in the world, I would have said you're crazy and walked away from you.

But that all changed about 2 years ago. It had been about a month since I had escaped the god's forsaken place with Ace. Luckily, we got out without dying or getting severely injured.

Not very luckily, we got separated in the crossfire when the guards started shooting at us.

Ace had been at that hellhole for about 2 years now and I had been there for 7. I had been there with him since his day one and eventually, we'd gotten quite close. He had promised to take me back to his house in Germany where he lived with his two elder siblings, after I helped him escape.

But after getting separated, we were both on our own. I had hoped that he'd found his way back to Germany.

Me on the other hand, had nowhere to go. So, I did the only thing that I could think of without getting caught.

I became an underground street fighter. I easily won tons of matches against men three times my size as I've been trained to become a heartless cold blooded killer for 7 years straight.

Eventually, people started fearing me, as the 'Black Flower' because nobody knew my real Identity as I always wore a mask and contact lenses during my fights.

One day, when i was going back to my cheap, single bedroom apartment - don't get me wrong , I had a lot of money from winning a shit ton of fights, but a merely 14 year old buying a luxurious Apartment would raise too much attention and i was still in hiding, so the last thing I needed, was attention.

Anyways, I was going back to my apartment after a fight, i still had my contacts in but had removed the mask. I felt a presence behind me. In a swift movement, i had a dagger in each of my hand and in a minute, the bodies of 5 men dropped to the ground. Each with a sever injury caused by my daggers. Not enough to kill them, but enough to get the hint to stay the hell Outta my way.

I recognised these men as the friends of a guy I won a fight against last week. And let's just say, his ego was hurt a little too much.

In less than a second, the daggers were out of the view. Just as I was about to turn and go back to my apartment, I felt somebody watching me. I looked around with a tight grip on my dagger, which was now in my pocket.

I saw a man, probably in his 40's , walking towards me with a very impressed and shocked look on his face.

"I have to say, that was really impressive for somebody your age." He said with a genuin smile on his face. In return, i was just glaring daggers at him.

"Who are you?" He asked politely. But i didn't budge. Instead, I kept glaring. But he didn't seem to be bothered by it. I don't mean to brag, but most people almost piss their pants when I glare at them with my electric blue eyes. But this man just won't back off.

After he got the hint that i wasn't gonna say anything, he finally said,

"Look kid, I know you're the black flower, I've been watching you fight for some time now. Even though you're really young, you're the best fighter I've ever seen. Just look at these guys-" He pointed to where the 5 injured guys were passed out.

"You took these guys out all by yourself in like a minute. Nobody I've ever met can do that. " He looks at me expectantly but i just gave him a hard glare with calculating eyes. Who the hell is this guy i thought. Usually, i would have attacked him by now, but i actually wanted to know what this guy knew.

"Look, I'm not here to hurt you. Obviously you've got mad skill and can kill me before i even get a chance to blink if I do any such thing. I'm just here to make you a deal."

Usually, in the movies, this is the part where everything goes to shit. But, for me it was quite the opposite. Something in my gut told me that this guy could be trusted and he gave off a good vibe in general. So, i decided to hear him out.

Afterwards, as it turned out, the guy's name was Christopher Pierce. He became like a father figure to me. So much so, that I even took his last name.

Basically, the guy owned and was the chief of the Silver Cloud agency. It's an agency that trains agents in hand to hand combat, knife throwing, using all types of guns and weapons really, and sends them on missions. The mission can be anything from terminating a target, getting some kind of information to retrieval or rescue missions.

At the time, the Italian mafia was in feud with the SC (silver cloud) Agency. I helped Chris take them down, and he pulled a few strings. After some intense battles and fights, i was appointed as the Donna of the new and improved Italian mafia.

Also, Chris wanted the Italian mafia, which was now mine, to own his Agency so they won't face any threats from any other Mafia's as the people didn't really know who the new Donna was, only that she goes by the name black flower and can kill you within a blink of an eye.

People all around the globe had started fearing the black flower, especially after i started working with the Agency and the name grew popular.

Later, I found out that Chris was actually retireing, and had appointed a new chief. One of his best and most trusted Agents, Zack. Now he likes to go by Chief Z. He's a pain in the ass really.

Before Chris retired, he made me promise that I'll always be there for his Agency and go on any missions if needed. Ofcourse I agreed to that, I'd do anything for the guy. He had done so much for me and most importantly, he was the first man to ever treat me with respect and like a human, not to mention like his own daughter.

After 4 months of me meating Christopher, and about 2 weeks after his retirement, he had to leave.

He said that he had to change his identity and move accross the world and that he couldn't keep in touch with anybody, as he was wanted by some of the most dangerous people in the world at the time.

I, for one was heartbroken. He was like a father to me that I never had. Much to my dismay and protests, of how I can keep him safe it didn't matter. Ultimately, he did leave, but not before I made him promise to stay safe and reach out to me if he ever needed any kind of help.

The agency, is actually how I first met Viola. We were assigned for a few missions together, and i realised that she wasn't actually that bad and we started to become friends.

You see, at the Agency, people only knew that the Black Flower worked there, but nobody except Chris and Zack knew that it was really me, a 14 year old deadly assassin who was the black flower they all feared with their lives.

And well viola found out later too, but that's a story for another time.

Now, for how i was reunited with Ace,

The German Mafia had also appointed a new Don a few weeks before Chris left.

The identity of this person was also unknown, but it was rumoured all over the place that this person was a lost prince and he could put up one hell of a fight.

By the Agency, And Chris's direct orders, I was assigned to see who this new guy was and make sure he wasn't a threat or a problem.

So long story short, I, as in the Donna of the Italian mafia and the well feared Black Flower, called in a meeting with the Germans to make an alliance. Actually, i just wanted to see who the new Don was, and how he handles his business in case we have to deal with him in the future.

The German agreed right away as my Mafia was already one of the most feared and respected ones.

Later, i found out that the new Don, was actually my lost brother. Ace.

Turns out, bis elder brother had been the Don of their mafia since their parents died in a plane crash, when Ace was 11.

Now after Ace returned, his brother wanted the Legacy to move on, and his elder sister didn't wanna be a part of the Mafia. So, the 16 year old Ace was granted as the New Don of the German Mafia.

And when we saw eachother in that meeting room after all those months of thinking that we'll never see eachother again,

Let's just say, it was one hell of a reunion.
