Chapter 2 - Havu, The Silver Snake Clan

"Patricia" is my middle name, I use it as my alias, P, or they called me, "the lady boss". Hah, I love it.

The name Patricia stands for "noble" and it suits me well. Since... I have my kingdom to rule now.

Brianna stands for "strong". I note that I must be strong to become a noble, so I changed my name from Beatrice to Brianna.

P dyed her dark brown hair blonde after she graduated high school. She changed everything she had but never got the chance to do a laser to her mole on her lower right eyebrow, even though she hates it. However, to P... Patty seemed like a different person.

But, even though she changed her name, her appearance, mentally or physically, she is still the same geek when she is at home.

The lady boss plays games and watches Anime during the weekends or off duty, with her loose oversized Anime T-shirt and glasses between her nose-bone.

"Boss" someone barged in without knocking the door. The new bodyguard, she forgot his name. The biggest among all but seems like a little idiot.

She paused the movie and tilts her head, "What?" with the scariest glare of her eyes. Fong, appears from the side of the door, scolding the new guy.

"Tch. Teach him manner or I'll fucking kill

him" she said, gazing back to the TV.

Fong closes the door immediately.

Although she's mean and forgettable, the leader of the Silver Snake Clan won't leave her men behind.

Nobody dares to lay a tiny finger on her men.

.......

.......

.......

Present time

P adjusted her white blazer, bubblegum clacking in her mouth as she puts both of her hands inside her pants, walking with pride and confidence. They stop at a huge restaurant with mandarin words above the door, HUANG XING FENG (five stars) Restaurant.

"Tch, ridiculous" she scoffed as she popped her bubblegum. P twisted her head and made her eyes to her men, means -we're going in.

First, she kicked the mahogany door with her black Puma sneakers and brought herself into the five stars restaurant. The sudden barge makes the customers switch their gaze to the gang. The murmurs slowly vanished, leaving only silence in the wide room.

"Whoa whoa whoa... What a successful cheater" she spoke loudly, "Hidden casino that owes me three billion and beat-up three of my guards"

They all froze, even the waiters.

No, it isn't a restaurant. It is a casino that serves food and drinks.

She twists her head and says to one of her men, "Take that motherfucker out"

Waiting with arms folded on her chest, leaning on the wall with hips jutted out. She threatens a man waiter with her angle when the waiter starts moving, although he can't stand with the heavy plate he is holding, he insists to stay freeze.

Her men finally caught the person she was looking for after five minutes, with force. Was dragged and thrown onto the ground, right in front of P.

P sniggers evilly, "Finally", grabbing his sleeve to pull him up. Her strong hand almost tear his shirt. The short man in his 40s is trembling, scrunching his eyes tight ready to be punished. But instead of giving him a lesson, P sticks her chewed pink bubblegum on his forehead.

"I have a gun" then she raises a silver-roses-snake carved gun, "Choose one.." she points to his forehead and the man almost peed himself, "Gun to make a hole on your head, but.." she kept her gun inside her blazer, "I like playing with my fist, to exercise.. hmm" lifting her slender, looking cute fist as she mumbles naughtily. Although it looks girly, he knew how fatal it could break his bones.

"I-I-I know nothing!" he raised his hands, begging for mercy.

P levels a glare on him.

"Ohhh\~ Interesting\~" she breaks the silence with a tenuous giggle that evoked another laughter from her men, "Look at this bitch. Owe me three million and has a copy of my data but he just told me, HE KNOWS NOTHING!"

P delivers a punch to his face and kicks his stomach, the short man tossed against the wall and coughed. Then she walks towards the place where he was thrown, P squats her knees and drops her gaze down at him, twisting a smile, "Underestimating a woman, huh? Do you think that a Silver Snake Lady like me could never beat you up?"

"S-sorry! I-I know someone! Someone who stole your files!" he negotiated. Hoping P could loosen him a bit, "B-but please, lady, protect me" he's terrified and scared, as his eyes rolled left and right, scanning the visitors around the casino.

"Then, who?"

"I-I don't know who, precisely but I-I can help you!"

She shook her head clicking her tongue and stood up leaving the man. At first, the short guy thought he is safe but...

"Tch. Then you leave me no choice" she scoffed. The man's eyes wide open as he realizes P sounds not forgiving, "Know your place!" and the final leg strike makes him unconscious.

"Tch. Just because I am a woman, doesn't mean you can fool me" P took another fancily-wrapped bubblegum and deliver it to her mouth. She turned to her bodyguards, "Search his office!"

...It's been... how many years? ...

...Honestly, I had never been this tough before I quit that wicked school....

...***...

"At seven"

"Father...." P pleased. She has just finished her shower.

Father lifted his finger, "Don't bring a weapon or your man" as a reminder.

"Tch. What if he is a bad guy?" she tries to convince him as she's busy wiping her hair with a white towel.

"Then I'll tell them to pretend to be customers" he added.

...Meanwhile, the father keeps setting up blind dates for his daughter....

"Father, I don't even know he is a good man or a bad-"

"He is a doctor" he cut her off.

P distressing, "What? Why would I date a doctor? What for-?" she clicked her tongue, "Father, I am a mafia head, what for marry a doctor-"

"If you are injured, you can go to see him" he implied.

She winced and moaned like a little girl while leaving her father.

...I'm tough, but still daddy's little girl....

The restaurant is situated in the center of the town, near the City shopping complex. It provides a whole gamut of traditional foods to foreign ones under a single roof, which has a very comfortable sitting facility with a great fancy ambiance for dining at any time.

It's a cold but calm yet addicting night.

Tch, I prefer watching Horimiya tonight, she thought. Thinking this is the most perfect time to enjoy her weekly update Anime as she is sipping hot chocolate in her favorite Totoro mug.

The Prado lurched stop at the drop-off. One of her men opens the car door for her. P puts her long, slender leg down to the red carpet gazing up to the sky, and inhales the earthy smell of the drizzling night, preparing herself to meet her tonight's blind date.

I'll fucking kill him if he is a pervert, although I have never met one, I wish I could meet one so at least I could punch my blind date in the face, P thought, she's been dreaming to meet one.

The waiters welcome her at the entrance when she walked past them, knowing P as the great Havu's head family, not as a mafia.

Her white long lacey dress fits her pair of silver high-heels perfectly, creating an elegant look for a blonde. Her huge snake and roses tattoo exposed her back, making her more attractive. She attempts not to read the looks on people's faces, instead of focusing her gaze towards the dining hall. Everyone, including the busy front desk, a waiter who almost dropped the whisky, some jealous women whispers accusing her of enchantment and evil eyes cursing her, some men with their pervert stares thinking of a chance for a nightstand, kids who see her as a fairy God-mother, their eyes on her. But again, she doesn't give a ****.

When she was a teenager, it would terrify her, but now it never scares her anymore, she feels the joy of becoming the center of attention. Even though most of them are judgy, but again, she doesn't give a ****.

The lady boss finally reaches her today's blind date. He has thick black hair, wearing a navy blue shirt paired with black chinos, busy reading the menu with his head down as if he is going to kiss the menu.

P takes a seat across him, as he is sipping his coffee and her men were already in the other seat as customers. P has a habit of paying close attention to her surroundings, she looked around and found just regular customers, with some of her bodyguards acting like one of them. She switched her gaze towards him, he doesn't say anything ever since she arrived, like she is invisible so he couldn't see her. P looked into the table as he puts the cup down.

Her eyebrow is crooked as she looks into the cup. What a very unique taste of coffee combination, he mixed the coffee with a teabag.

Weird taste, she thought.

P adjusts her long skirt, while she has a gun sticking on her right lap with a black rubber strap, without her father knowing it.

Then tonight's blind date tilted his rounded glasses and finally pays his attention to P, "Hello" but he spoke nonchalantly, sounds and seemed not interested in her at all. She never gives a single chance to her blind date but this motherfucker ruined her mood already.

Her right under-eye flickers, the ****? P is speechless. The man switched his sight back to the menu.

"Tch" she clicked her tongue and stood up abruptly, going straight to the bathroom. Some of her men waited around the restaurant, in case there's chaos.

"Home" P ordered to her men as she walked past them.

When P arrived home, as usual, her father will lecture her about inheriting the Havu, so many else about it.

****.

Never tell you about my last name "H". Which was also a mystery when I was a student. My friends tend to ask what does "H" stands for, but I kept it secret.

H is Havu, my surname.

Havu, The Silver Snake, as a sign of our family, inherits through generations.

My father is Johnny Keanu Havu, and his elder brother is my uncle, Morgan William Havu.

Morgan was the leader of The Silver Snake Clan until two years ago. My father was the royal council, families will stand nearest to the king.

There's a rule for the Havu's leader candidate, such as; you have to choose each of Havu's generations as the leader every thirty years.

For example, Morgan has three children and my father has only a daughter, which is me. Morgan's children and I will compete for the throne.

There are also lots of requirements to become the leader; either theory or physical. We, cousins, compete at the ring and took some paper tests.

Guess what?

Beatrice Patricia H. was never interested in becoming the head family, a.k.a. the mafia leader. Now, she is the leader, the one who sits on the throne, as the first Havu woman.

The lady boss, P is having her precious me-time on the mushy bed before going to bed, just came back from the wasting-time blind date, watching her favorite Anime from the huge LCD TV with her Totoro-mug. Suddenly, one of her men came knocking on the door.

"Come in" P rolled her eyes as she almost dropped her mug.

Fong lands the file onto her teatime table. Her assistant waits patiently by the door, "I'm sorry" he sounds urgent.

P nodded her head once and shakes her index finger, which means, okay, say it. As Fong straight up, clearing his throat before speaking.

"Boss, this is the personal guard Father Morgan suggested. Well trained bodyguard and ex-army in South Korea, born in 1993, single"

P paused the movie and turned her head to Fong, "Tell him to see me tomorrow evening, eighteen hundred" not interested to take a single look at the file, she trusts Fong as her assistant. The new guy he chose must be a good catch.

...And turns out... ...

That deep brown slender eyes, those thin and long eyelashes, that thick, tidy yet proper eyebrows, that lips, that fair skin. Perfect fit, Perfect shit...

"YOU!!" she pulled out her gun and pointed right at him, her men are doing the same.

P's eyebrows glower, giving him a death glare.

"Tch. Ezekiel"

Ezekiel doesn't react to her threats, he doesn't move an inch.

...My ex-boyfriend is about to be my personal guard....
