Esmerelda- Antoinette's POV:

I hum to Horns by Bryce Fox that is being played on the Bluetooth. I am sitting in the seat beside the driver. Ekon is currently driving through the pouring seats. We were currently driving to My assassin's base in Italy. The Assassins base is actually in Sicily so we were driving to the airport. The Assassin base is just a gigantic mansion I bought for the hackers and assassins to stay. One of my biggest purchases yet and I am quite proud of it. The car comes to a halt and Ekon gets out of the car. I did as well and we walked side by side.

"So how are you in Italy, Don," Ekon asks. I roll my eyes.

"Ekon, why the baloney sandwich is you calling me Don. You are my amigo. Mi casa es tu casa. Call me anything but Don." I tell him and give my charming smile. He gives a small grin and chuckles cutely. See Ekon is a tough guy, made of thick muscle and tattoos at the very legal age of 21 years old. One of my youngest and most skilled assassins.

"Okay, Esme. Now tell me when did you come to Italy. You didn't even inform me. Is that why you assigned me against the Italian Gangs? Did you shift my post here because you love me so much, Esme?" His eyes were screaming brotherly heart eyes. Only I have seen his cute side. He is like an older brother to me. His girlfriend is a skilled hacker. She is 20 years old and I moved her post to Italy. She currently hacks the most protected security systems of illegal businesses, gangs, and cartels of Italy. She is very good at it as well. One of my best people I have hired yet.

"Well, my brothers are actually Italian. They live in Italy. My foster father died and then I was given custody to my father and brothers."

"Oh wow, so how do you handle businesses. Recently you sent me and some of my other assassins in my crew to eliminate Irish Don. It was successfully done so I assume you have custody of the Irish Mafia with Don Alexander." His deep American accent hits my eardrum making me want to imitate it like always.

"Yeah. So I'm officially the leader of the Russian, French, and Irish Mafia." I replied in a hearty American accent. I grinned. He just looked at me and rolled his eyes at my childish behavior.

"You know, I don't know how a childish person like you could be the leader of all this big sh*t." He tells me. I wince at his use of a naughty word.

"Oh right sorry you can't hear bad words. Innocent little angel." He teases me. I pout and cross my arms.

"Listen to me you meanie head. I am in charge of you so you listen to me." I pretend to growl but it sounds more like a mouse squeak.

"Oh yeah you may be in charge of me but I am your older brother basically. So I am much more superior to you." He says jokingly in his triumphant voice. I mean he wasn't wrong. He has been there to give me advice whenever I was struggling.

"I guess you're right," I say and he puffs his chest at his victory. We were currently standing in front of my private jet. We walked up the skinny stairs and took our seats in the aircraft. A lady dressed in a tight-fitted skirt and a blouse walked up to us. She was pretty.

"Hello. I will be your hostess today. If you have any requests or concerns please call me. Thank you. Enjoy your flight." The lady said and headed to the rear of the aircraft.

"By the way, how is it with your girlfriend?" I wiggled my eyebrows.

"Oh, she's amazing. She's doing amazing. She was one of the hackers that helped with the Ireland mission." Ekon said. Every time he talks about his girlfriends his eyes light up. Ah, people in love. It's kind of gross, but like kind of cute, but still a little gross.

2 hours later...

We were currently in front of the assassins and hackers' base. It was a large mansion. Memories of 6 months ago came to my mind as I remembered purchasing this place with the help of Ms. Gardenia. The weather here was the polar opposite of Rome. In Rome, it was raining and over here it was as bright as summer. Geography amazes me sometimes. Wow, that sounded nerdy. Shake my head.

"Come on let's go inside so you can change and look more presentable." He said matter of factly. My hair had gotten all frizzy because of me being drenched in the cold rain for about 20 minutes since I made the best decision to escape. My clothes were slightly damp, sticking to my body like wax or glue. My body was getting itchy because of the dampness transferring to my skin. I needed a warm bath indeed. I walked inside the large black gate and made my way up the small hill that led to the main entrance gate. I was walking behind Ekon. He pressed the bell and we waited about 20 seconds until the door opened. It was all dark. Nobody was there. I looked behind me and suddenly Ekon was gone. This feels suspicious. I went to the wall with the light switch on it. I grasped my yo-yo tightly in one hand and flipped the light switch on. I was ready to aim the yo-yo at my enemy but suddenly time stopped.

"SURPRISE. WELCOME HOME DON!" all of my assassins and hackers that had a post in Sicily and Italy were all here. There was confetti everywhere. There were tables with various snacks like stuffed mushrooms, deviled eggs, pizza, chips, cupcakes, creme brulee, cookies, and anything you could think of. Wow they really went all out, didn't they? I was so surprised and happy that I got to see all my friends!

"Oh, My Potatoes! You guys didn't have to do all of this. WOW!" I say in awe and shock. I feel happy tears trickling down my face. All my assassins and hackers come to give me a group hug which I return immediately.

"In return for this amazing surprise, all of you get an advance of 500 dollars in your salary every month starting today," I say happily. They even succeeded in the Irish Takedown Mission. They deserve it.

"Thank you, Don!" They all say. I roll my eyes.

"Guys and Girls, How many times do I tell you I am Esmerelda, not Don. I am Don only during working hours." I say while giggling. Everybody laughs with me. Music starts playing and everybody disperses from the large group and starts dancing to music. Everybody is talking, eating food, and probably drinking alcohol. I would never but that doesn't mean I will restrict my employees from it. Everybody was now in their own groups and I decided to head up to take a bath. I was going up when a voice had me turning my head around.

"Esmerelda, sweetie, where do you think you're going?" Joaquin said. Joaquin was another one of my best hackers. He is currently working on hacking the large security systems of illegal paper companies in Italy. Paper companies are the sources of all the clout who are biased to other semi-legal companies. If we hack them we can get all the deep information of illegal companies. Anyway enough about the paper company. Let me tell you more about Joaquin. Joaquin is a 23-year-old man, he is mixed. He's half black half Korean and he is gay. He is the best thing that could happen in this world. I am not even joking. He is truly a good friend and is amazing. I have known him for about 2 years. One of my very first employees I hired with my own choice.

"Oh just taking a shower. I am super cold. Don't worry I will be back. Enjoy the party!" I say with my smiley face.

"You know it. Be quick, games will start soon." He winks. I giggle and head up to take a warm bath.
