Planning

The windows were shut and curtains were drawn quickly, reina's neighbour who had a habit of being nosy smirks to herself when she recalled the friend of reina standing in the balcony.

Reina sighs staring at Max. Because she knows her neighbor has seen him here and now that they have to act all suspicious by closing the doors and windows, she will have a wrong idea. The mere thought of her asking Reina about their relationship irritated her and urged her to commit one more killing even though she wanted to quit being an assassin.

"Can't we do this at your house?"

"Bro did you forget? I share with Kai," Max reminded as he started the session of studying about her target.

"Our target is a file that is inside this palace." Max points at the projected image.

"The file contains names of all the people who belong to secret society that is said to control the economic flow of the country from behind the curtains. And government is ready to do everything to get their hands on this information."

"Government wants it?"

Max nodded, "Yeah."

I shook my head in disbelief, "What about their spy agencies?"

"They failed!" he replied calmly.

I scoffed, "What makes them think that I can do it?"

"Because you're the best in the assassin organization has ever trained and you've completed those missions that many people have not been able to pull off."

"How can we believe that those government officials will let us live?"

"You know Reina our organization maybe be rough on us but they won't betray us. They kept our identities secret we can work well in disguise."

"Okay, but how?" I nodded understanding his point but my heart was still anxious. Still I asked Max to explain the mission further.

"You'll be Vivian Reyes daughter of a newly appointed high ranking official.  Event will be hoisted in Cassano Royal Residence for three days straight. Host of these three days long party himself is the new leader of secret society.

Other information is pretty useless but let me feed you the most important ones.

Ivan Cassano has two brothers. Benjamin Cassano and Steven Cassano. Ben is the youngest and is famous for his promiscuous lifestyle, middle son is most probably involved with the underground world. Eldest is the heir of this family and people still revere them as there king even after our country is democratic so it's better to call them your highness.

Though make sure you don't get caught up with either of them, they are dangerous. The file is stored in the vault inside the study of the eldest son. That vault has fingerprint lock along with the passcode which we can crack, so you've three days to get Ivan Cassano fingerprint and then open the vault."

Reina squinted her eyes and blinked rapidly but the information Max gave her didn't change a bit. As she registered the information in her head. When the information began making sense to her, She rolled her eyes in annoyance because she wasn't getting good vibes from the entire mission. First thing that made her all uneasy was the government. She simply couldn't believe that someone like them is asking an assassination

Reina began clearing her doubts,"But you just said that I should stay away from these three people?"

"You can avoid too but you have to meet the eldest."

"How do you make this shit sound so simple."

"That's convince you to work, you know that right?"

I glanced at the projected screen before me, my eyes set on the majestic palace. Silence filled the atmosphere and the sound of table fan was the only thing audible. I pressed the next button of remote to see the other pictures in PowerPoint presentation Max has made.

When a photo of three handsome boys appeared on the screen. All three of them had their own charm. Tall, dashing and handsome as if they came straight out of a romance novel.

"Who is Ivan among them?"

"One is tuxedo!"

I zoomed in picture of guy in tuxedo and stared at him imprinting his face and every visible feature of his body in my head. He looked like guys of my age. Young but there was hint of maturity in his face. He is young to be head of secret society. I thought.

Max continued explaining the plan in more detail, day disappeared and darkness covered the night sky. Max's session finally came to an end, an exasperated sigh escaped my lips as I leaned back on my couch closing my eyes. When I felt his hand grasping mine, a wave of warmth washed over me. Unknowingly I smiled.

"We are going to be okay right?" I asked taehyun who was in the same position as me.

"We have to be, we promised our younger selves that one day we will get out of this messy world,"

Reina nodded, recalling all the painful memories of their childhood but before she could completely fall victim to her dark and dangerous memories. Her phone buzzed, snapping her out of her deadly thoughts and she opened her eyes breathing heavily. Reina picks her phone and switched it on to see a message popping on her phone screen continuously. She clicked it open without a second thought.

Ivan:

Ivan:

^^^Reina:^^^

^^^fine, okay^^^

I didn't realize that I was smiling from simply texting a guy, I don't know the reason, but I felt the vibes coming from his text message. It was similar to what Yena said, he was kind of sweet and polite. I could sense it in the message. Then my eyes fell on his name again. Ivan? Chukle escaped my lips as I flashed my phone at Max.

"Huh Ivan?" He asked frowning as he takes my phone.

"He is my classmate and my partner in next assignment. Funny isn't it that the name of royal guy is also same."

"Its actually kinda funny." He said chuckling.

It was tuesday and we had to leave for the city where this event was happening the next morning. So Max quickly brought the bleach and colour to bleach my hair blonde. We already recieved the advance so me and him went for shopping cause I was going into a royal palace and wearing luxurious cloth was must so that I don't stand out from the people and look poor.

And the next day we set out for our mission.
