She is an elderly lady. I keep the knife on her throat as I harshly ask "who are you?"

"I am the-the maid" she answers with a shaky voice.

I lower my knife slowly and take a step back.

"hi dear. Oh you must be the new guest" She says regaining her composure and kindness like it was just an everyday thing to be pinned with a knife on throat.

I don't like this overly affectionate behaviour. It's...just wrong. So I answer with a blank face "yes"

She replies "can you tell me your name? Oh dear you must be hungry."

"Akira" I reply. I wanna get away from her lovey dovey eyes staring into my soul.

"That room is yours Akira and dinner will be ready by 7:30" she says kindly while pointing to a room in the 1st floor.

I nod and walk towards the room she pointed at. It was a corner room. Good. I have better view of approaching targets from this point, it gives me a very wide view of a lot of nooks and corners while not revealing me much.

I open the door and holyshit. The room is..nice. really nice. I open one of the two pairs of doors to see the bathroom. The other room is the balcony. I stare down from the balcony at the ground. I don't have the view of the main gate though. Nevermind, I can manage.

I sit cross -legged on the bed with my eyes closed trying to take my mind off the hunger gnawing on me. I would go when that maid- I don't know her name, I'll have to ask- would call me.

I can hear footsteps approaching. I get up and stand in front of the door as knocking starts.

"Come in" I say standing right in front of the door.

It is the same maid. She opens the door and her eyes dart to the bed. She looks confused when I am not there so she starts to look around jumps as she notices me standing in front of her like a statue. Hahaha I love scaring people.

"Dinner is ready dear" she says smiling.

"Ok" I follow her out of the room and down the stairs. I should ask...

"What's your name?" I ask trying to sound..well not as rude as I did and make up for scaring her earlier.

"I am Clara sweetie" she says as she leads me into the dining room.

The table was big enough to seat at least 20 people. I can't even be surprised anymore, after all it is the guest house of a mafia boss.

Eiran's pov:

I was working on some legal documents in my room when I was called downstairs for dinner. Now I sit with all my brothers and mother eating dinner.

"I read the files of the new members" mother who was sitting on the right of Seb spoke.

"yeah?" Seb spoke up. he was sitting at the head of the table.

"I want to meet the 16 year old tomorrow" she spoke ordering seb. Well we all know what mom says goes. He can't refuse her anything.

"yes mom, but she does seem good at her job doesn't she?" Seb says continuing the coversation.

I was about to tell them about her disciple when i suddenly feel Leo nudging me with his elbow. God why did I sit next to him?..

"ask mom" Leo mouths to me and I roll my eyes.

now Seb, mom and Kai are talking about ways to make the mafia very tough to hack if not completely un-hackable.

"you know when I dropped her off, she was standing like in that proper stance with hands behind her back and shit." I say catching everybody's attention "she kept addressing me as sir"

"Yeah, she has good discipline" Seb adds.

"no wonder she does, 50 plus assasinations in just one and a half year is master's work" mom says

"by the way mom, Leo wants to-" I notice Leo's full attention on me as I decide to play him "-ask you something. didn't you Leo? come on go ahead, don't be shy"

I can hardly stop myself from laughing as Leo stares at me with death in his eyes, even Kai is giving him an evil smile now.

"yeah well, mom" Leo glares at me before continuing now that both Seb and mom had given him his full attention "canigotheringtomorrownight?" He spoke that in one singe breath. Kai and I burst out laughing.

"what? speak clearly Leo" mom says confused.

"can I go to the ring tomorrow night?" Leo says slower this time, looking hopefully at mom because he knows Seb would just straight out refuse.

"does that mean you did good in that last test?" mom says skeptically as that was condition.

"yeah I got a B+" he says happily

mom raises her eyebrow and asks Kai while staring at Leo "did you help him kai?"

Kai suddenly got very busy with his food and replies while looking down at his food "no.."

"god Kai don't even try to lie, you're painfully awful at that" mom says now looking at him and then to Leo she says "Leo you aren't going to no ring unless you do good on your test without cheating"

Leo looks down at his food and mutters "alright"

after dinner, mom ,Leo and Kai watch a movie while I head to my room to finish up some work and seb does the same. I wondered if mom had already instructed Seb to enroll that girl into a highschool. I know she's not the type to waste time, especially with her being an ex-donna, those characteristics still shine bright in her.

The next day~

After breakfast, I and the twins head out of the house when I stop in my tracks. I just remembered that I have to pick up that girl too. Shit, I forgot to tell her I would.

I can't drop the twins off at school and pick up that girl at the same time. Sebastian has a meeting or would've dropped them off at the school. Well I guess I will have to send somebody. I call one of the drivers and ask them to pick her up. "..her name's Akira." And I hang up.

I make a mental list of the work I have to do today. Drop off the Leo and Kai. Show the new members their work. Read and sign those new documents from the deal Sebastian was going to secure Today. And then there was regular old work.

Time skip

I was talking about some documents to the receptionist when I notice Akira entering the base. She walked in confidentally with authority and I was pretty sure she didn't even know where she had to head to for the work she had been assigned.

"Akira" I say loud enough for her to hear. She notices me and makes her way towards me.

"Sir" she says standing infront of me with her hands behind her back.

"What work have you been assigned?" I ask her

"Training the juniors sir" she says with no hint of any emotions. But I am sure she didn't like that because seb told me what her reaction was after he told her that she could not start on duty.

"Do you know where you have to go?" I ask her signing a document that the receptionist had given me.

"No sir" she answers plainly I nod at the receptionist which she reciprocates and start walking away.

"Follow me" I say to her noticing that she didn't move.

I lead her towards the training and practice wing of the building. There are people practicing, shooting , throwing knives etc.

I call another trainer "Jasper" Jasper is a buff man in his 30s covered in tattoos. He trains fighters and is decent with weapons too.

"Yes?" he makes his way over to us.

"This is Akira from the French mafia. She is a weapon master and an Assassin." Jasper nods and looks at Akira, probably puzzeled at her age and skills but I continue "she will be weapon training the juniors. Show her around."

"Yes sir" He replies as I leave Akira standing infront of him.

I first introduced him to her because despite his looks, he is a good man and will see that she comes to no harm. I had been worried how the juniors will follow her or try to challenge her authority.

Third person pov:

"Jasper" he says offering his hand.

"Akira" She answers shaking his hand. He noted that she had a firm handshake.

"What's your age?" He asked the question that had been bothering him. She looked too young to be in the Mafia. But tough none the less.

"Sixteen" She answers meeting his eyes. She was observing by his body language how he seemed wary of her at first but after telling her age he seemed rather worried.

He nods a bit tensely and then says "I will show you the weapons training room and introduce you to the juniors"

She nods and starts to follow him. He leads her into rooms and hallways until they are standing infront of a shooting range opposite to which stands a knife throwing range.

He enters the shooting range and orders all juniors to gather. Then he introduces her.

"This is Akira. She will be training you from today." He didn't want to say much so as not to take the authority away from her.

He nods at her which she returns and leave her to be but not before whispering "I will be where you met me if you need any help." She nods subtly as a reply.

Akira now stands with full authority and she orders the juniors "get back to work"

They all listen and scatter. She sees an empty range, picks up two guns and eyeballs both of them right on the target.she has a go a few times until She notices some people looking at her which makes her stop her practice and oversee theirs. She corrects some people and scolds some. She maintains cold and authoraitive demeanor.

After a while, a voice on the speaker announces "lunch" and everybody practicing files out.

Akira decides that this is the best time to explore this place when most of the people are out. She visits the knife throwing range and practices a little but she has been feeling a little off so she decides to look for the place where combat practice takes place.

She decides to trace her steps back and finds a hall with gym equipment, punching bag and ring for practicing. She decides to have a go on the bag after wrapping her hands.

Time flies by so quickly. She didn't notice when Jasper made his way towards her but now he was standing her front her.

"You had lunch?" He asks her coming to stand infront of her.

"No" she says getting away from the punching bag and breathing heavily.

"Well you can go now, there are plenty of good food places" he says.

"I don't want to" she says grabbing a water bottle.

"Akira you have power in your punches but your leg placement doesn't let you utilise it all, try correcting that" he says looking at her. She nods and steps up to the bag and punches it.

"Notice that?" He says.

She nods...

Soon enough it was time another training session and this was physical combat. Akira was overseeing a match between two juniors. Suddenly she turns towards the person practicing on the bag and says "wanna break your fingers?" And then turns back to the match going on.

Some one from the group of juniors scoffed and Akira turned around faster than a bullet, her eyes fixed on the guy that scoffed. He was around 22 and 6'0 with a few tatoos.

"Step out" she orders and he steps out smirking to his friends.

"Yes ma'am?" He asks mockingly.

"Get. in. the. ring." she says on the brink of punching him to death.

She tells the people already in the ring to get out and enters the ring. She already had her hands wrapped and so did everyone else.

Every junior was now staring at them. It was as if all the movement in the hall had ceased.

"No rules" she tells bringing up her fists.

He smirks, thinking he got an advantage. Little did he know that she played best when there was no one to tell her how to.

The bell rang and the match started.

It was finished within five minutes with the boy lying on the unconscious with blood spilling from his mouth and nose and a black eye. She had a bleeding lip but that was all.

She was breathing heavily when she looked down at his unconscious form and scoffed then looked at everybody staring, challenging them to say something. However the silence was such that one could her a pin drop.

The rest of the day went by quickly and people was much more complaint. After the juniors had gone, Akira was practicing on the bag by herself. She decided that she would get her daily practice in and then walk back to the mansion.

However before she could complete her practice and much to her annoyance, Jasper came to interrupt her.

"Akira, There's a car waiting for you outside" he tells her as she is punching the bag.

She stops suddenly and steps back from the bag, sits down and starts unwrapping her hands.

She gets out of the practice halls and heads towards the main doors. It is dark and she didn't even realise. She makes her way towards the car waiting for her. It felt odd to experience such luxury now almost two days in a row. She didn't like it.

"Akira" she says to the driver who is standing outside the car.

"You have been invited for dinner at the Don's mansion" He says and gets in the car. Akira is confused but managed to maintain a blank face.

"Get in." He says impatiently.

She nods and gets in the back seat.

Did she do something wrong? On her first day? Why would The Don want to have her for dinner?....
