Chapter Text
"To be is to feel" this is what she belived this is what her pa had taught her it's what she's lived by. The feeling of a fresh kill was the feeling in her body at the moment,
The thrum of adrenaline was most prominent in her body after a good battle, a feeling of absolute completion passed over her
no feeling would ever top this,
no feeling held her up as good as this,
the feeling of control absolute control over her surroundings every piece of her environment controlled, under her thumb
The man she had killed lay beneath her feet her booted foot on his chest his head lolled to one side a clean slit across his throat blood still gushed out of it, though the man was long dead, a series of bodies surrounded her, killed in similiar ways.
As much of a lovely feeling it was, this wasn't done for fun and she would have to go through a ton of things after this
- a shitload of paperwork
- recording the findings into the system
- get it to her big brothers
- get some cake for pa
- Get the new dagger and chip she acquired to her dad
the list of thing went on and on this is why she said she didnt want to be part of the network her dad had built, it was soooo much paperwork
she got absolutely bored with the boot licking employees that had a total of 3 braincells and zero awareness if no one headed them.
"ryujin-ah call the clean up crew, have them wrap this one's head in box and send it to the hawthorn's residence" she nudged the head of the dead man with her boot,
with a wide smile of absolute glee and mischief blood dripping a bit from her head where she was hit not too long ago as she added
"pin it on p'pai and tell them not to ever ever release a hit on the heiress's head again or else the head delivered won't be just of the hitman"
she had been out a while by now her main goal coming to this gathering was just to attend a meeting, aquire the dagger auctioned at the very end
the auction included a variety of weapons that were previously owned by the elite of an historic time an chip was attached to the hip of the dagger found by her assistant after a little bit of inspection
just as she and her entourage left for the mansion she observed the three cars that werent a part of the security detail she brought following the fleet
she had tapped her assistant at once the the fleet had been redirected leaving only her car on the road to the seemingly main mansion they had ended up at the foot of an abandoned factory she had cleaned the trash thoroughly.
"fucking troublesome" she thought as she wiped her hand and head on a towel handed by her secretary a few cars had arrived at the scene seemingly the 'backup' she had sent for
she had made her way to the back of the factory her hand instinctively went to the dagger she had just acquired making sure it was well strapped, she didnt trust anyone with it it was vital and her dad was worried about it falling in the wrong hands the chip was still attached she put it back into its sheath inside her coat.
her secretary and the head of the gaurd had followed her
she sat on the dusty stack of abandoned iron coverd with a sheet of plastic pulled out an cigarette and put her to her mouth her secretary ryujin lit it the drag of the smoke burnt filled her lungs the nicotine calming her nerves
she ran her hand through her hair pushing the semi blood slicked hair back from her face she said
"is there anyone left out there" she questioned
thomas her right hand replied "no ma'am everything's been taken care of the message will be sent shortly the clean up is under way and so is the tech team no contacts or severed ties are left open" he bowed said with a strong voice
the heiress humed satisfied
"although ma'am this was a little too dangerous there was no need for you to take care of such a small matter yourself the gaurd was sent with this purpose specifically" ryujin said
maya laughed a little "you worry too much p'jin, i cleaned up very well didn't you see"
"your father would have a different opinion" thomas said his voice carried a bit of amusement
he knew the person simaya was she was a strong willed person it drained her to speak formally to him as she considered both her assistant and head of gaurd her family
at 16 they had met her, she was 12 and both the assistant and head were in training to assist the young heiress they too cared deeply for her and viewed her as their little sister
"anyways how's p'kong" she questioned clearly trying to change the topic
she knew she was cooked her pa woudn't let her hear the end of this if he found out she endangered herself for a little bit of adrenaline her dad too would send her to do drills with the bodyguards
thomas and ryujin just shook their heads a little bit well aware of their boss's predicament and nature
"he still hasn't told him" ryujin smirked and said with a smug tone of voice "ohhh" maya said intrigued with this new piece of information with a smirk she said
"Ohho phi forget about my pa i can appease him with cake,dad would give me a few drills to do but if p'kong finds out your sneaking behind his back your absolutely hundred percent dead" she exclaimed
"yah you brat shut up" thomas complained "ill tell him eventually" he muttered the last part nonetheless it reached the heiress's ear
"what're you gonna say oh im actually a part of a very big mafia family i seve a mentally unhinged heiress you were originally a target i suspected" maya said mockingly while laughed at his misery
"should've listened to me and left the poor boy alone" ryujin said laughing along at his friend's misery
"i wanted to dude"
"but wht you caught feelings and now want to be his husband" ryujin said
"precisely" thomas said almost smugly without hesitation both maya and ryu laughed
"dude you're so whipped there aint no way your gonna survive the silent treatment" ryu said snickering the whole while a real shudder went through thomas as his brain supplied a mental image
"you know thomas you can't keep him hidden forever hes bound to find out" maya said the mood sobered a little
"i know.... its just i want to keep him safe" thomas said with visible distress maya strode up to thomas's side and pat his shoulder
"i understand that you want to keep him safe but hiding will get you nowhere the last time someone tried to protect their lover like this it ended in ruin"
"they're happy now aren't they?" thomas asked understanding why this was so well understood by the younger her parents after all, were in a similiar situation at one point in their relation
"yes, they made up but at a cost",
"remember p'mas love isn't dangerous because it makes people do crazy things but because while the war is waged things that are normally below their moral compass suddenly start looking atemptable, they do not feel remorse"
she paused a little debating why this topic still managed to spur such deep emotion within her, perhaps her papa was a little to precious perhaps she couldn't comprehend how so many lives could be wagered on a lovesick fools decision
"everything starts feeling valid every line suddenly becomes bendable every other life becomes worthless and our spere is responsible for much much more than just a few lives, im not aversed to the thought of it but keeping you lover unaware of your life makes him a high risk variable, he is more vulnerable unaware than he is aware "
she patted him on the back once more and made her way out of the space, ryujin and thomas following right behind her now in deep thought
they made their way out and to where the clean up was happening all the bodies were mostly disposed of only the sanitization was left
"clean up here, thoroughly do NOT leave traces send the bodies back to the residence" she barked out the last order
"yes boss" the present bodyguards replied in an affirmative strong voice she turned around to her assistant and head "i'll be making my way out phi , im getting very late"
"yes ma'am," she got in her own car that was bought here by the gaurds she pressed a button on the dashboard the plate on her car switched she rolled down her window and said
"p'tho i hope you do what feels right if something goes awry ill help however i can"
"i am deeply grateful for the thought khun maya" he bow his head a little his voice carrying gratitude and just like that maya understood thomas would be alright she smiled rolled up her window and stepped on the pedal making her way out to the highway ahead
she reached her parents estate a beautifull house not too far from the main house where her uncle kinn and porche lived the second house was a little far but didnt take much time to reach by a good car
her father had said after the big battle between the major and minor family he had grown tired of uncle kinn and uncle vegas's feud and that had led to the mergence of both families
no one was inferior and no one was superior the family now worked as one
thinking now of both her uncles fighting to death over something as trivial as inferior and superior seemed like a far fetched fantasy both her uncles shared a deep sense of brotherhood she could feel when relations were thriving or just surviving her uncles relation was definitely thriving
but then again who knows things in the past used to be very different maybe it took them time to find their way to each other but in the end they did, they found their way to each other
the different houses were just meant for space not for separating the families also it served as good real estate and helped plenty with tax evasions and housing for all the employees working uder her family
she entered with pastry in one of her hands and her overcoat in the other "i'm home paa"
she smiled just as her pa came down the stairs her father in tow behind him an helper stepped forward and took her coat her pa came forward and hugged her he was a little shorter than her which she teased him endlessly about he took the pastry box from her hand just as her dad stepped forward and ruffled her hair
"how did it go" he asked not a hint of pressure in his voice just the never ending worry and affection of a father she smiled just as she was about to reply her pa interrupted glaring a little at her dad he spoke let her clean up first then discuss work" he said woth a stern voice
she just smiled helplessly at her dad who just shook his head "go ahead then we'll discuss it before dinner" he smiled at her she nodded back went ahead and gave her papa a kiss on his cheek
"your favourite child will be out in a jiffy papa" she winked at her father and ran up the stairs "yaa carefull brat you want to fall or what" kim reprimanded her a bit shaking his head
"come lets set the table" porchay maya's pa said to his husband with a twin smiles they made their way to the kitchen happy and fulfilled of the family they've built over the years
