Chapter 3 - Envelope

It isn't easy to become a head family and a leader in Havu. Besides plenties of unknown enemies around the clan, Havu tends to inherit wealth through generations.

Also, lots of works to do.

Elders suggested hiring personal guards for P, but she has been postponing it for two years. Thinking they are just the same as her current bodyguards.

They're supposed to have the same meaning, but for Havu, personal guards are those who follow everywhere even in the restroom, they are more protective than bodyguards. As Havu's head family, the leader of Havu, P must have at least one strong personal guard by her side.

Turns out, Father Morgan made his choice to choose the top one from his accomplices to apply them for P.

She thought Father Morgan will choose something better than this scum.

"Tch. Ezekiel Han"

Some of your shits...

Your pinky promise...

Love

Trust

And my stupidity...

Regrets

Hate

Disappointment

Memories flashed as they made eye contact. A thousand thoughts and memories shuffled through her brain like a blackjack deck. She keeps on remembering those sour-plum moments they had when they were together. Including her stupid decision to accept the love from someone who barely loved her.

She clenched her jaw. Her eyes welled up. It is strange to see such a great woman like P, dissolve into such a state, which confused everyone inside the room.

*He was the one who taught me 'what guilts into my life', also tips on '*regretting something later'.

Ezekiel is a fraud, I'm gonna kill him right here, right now.

She tightened her fingers, was about to pull the trigger of the gun...

cekl-

Suddenly, Johnny, P's father barged in, "What the hell is going on?!" raising his voice as he watches the chaos in the office.

She doesn't want to make her old man upset or break Havu's vow but seeing Ezekiel makes her so angry. She could feel the warmth from her eyes, holding the dam of her tears. But luckily, Johnny was here, on time, just before P makes a huge mistake. She feels grateful.

"Ohhh... Ezekiel Han" father gives a firm hug to Ezekiel.

She's confused, "W-what?" abruptly turned to her pleasant old man. How does father know Ezekiel too?

"Oh, this is Ezekiel Han, Mr.Hans, Han Su Woo's son" father faced her and introduced him.

She frowns in confusement, "Who the heck is Han Su Lo?" this is getting annoying.

"Han Su Woo.." father looks around and lifts his hand, she lifted hers too to make the guards put their guns down.

"Mr.Han Su Woo was Father Morgan's personal guard. His son is a well-trained bodyguard and ex-army. Father Morgan suggested him to you" Johnny said as he put a hand on Ezekiel's shoulder.

"W-what?!"

P went blank, which means she has to think of another way. She looks around, "I have..." twists her head and points at the stupid new French bodyguard, the one she told like an idiot, "Louis!" but he's the biggest among all, "I can take Louis as my personal guard!!"

Father walks towards her and whispers to her daughter's ear, "Riri... Just take him with you, Morgan likes him so much"

"But-but father, he-he is-"

Father ignores her, "Okay, so you're accepted! Morgan chose you, and we trust him. Welcome to the Havu's!"

****.

P's bodyguards clap their hands as a welcome, she glares and they stop, afraid to be killed once her father is gone.

In the midst of tensions, Johnny then walked away while taking a phone call into his ear. He disappeared by the door, left just Ezekiel and P and the other guards.

"****!!!" she punches the wall and her guards jumped, except Ezekiel.

Although Father Morgan had retired, he has the authority to change some of Havu's new regulations, kind of like an advisor to a young leader like P.

But.. this cunt.. she really can't accept him!

She turns to a trembling Fong, her personal assistant, "Fong?!" she yelled, demanding reasons.

"Y-yes, boss" he scrunched his eyes tight, thought P will land a punch on his face. Fong is just a weak, skinny man, a public relations and politics person, he is a lawyer, now working as her personal assistant.

"What is going on?" she raised her voice at the thirty-five years old man.

"I-I got it- from Father-- Morgan. He was the one that offered me this-this guard" he lowers his head after he finished speaking, Fong is shaking.

She lifts her fingers but then lost her words, she's desperately shut, "I know, okay, but why HIM?!" she clenched her teeth. She might have to regain her patience but she can't.

P squeezes her palms. Finally, she slams her fist against the table and the glass table cracked. She turned to Adam, one of her bodyguards, the bald one, "Take this away and bring me the new one" but after she took her frustration and anger out on the table, she feels calmer.

She settles down into her favorite chair, hands glided on the chair's arm as she slithered backward. She points a finger at him, "Come here, Ezekiel"

Ezekiel walked towards P and stopped in front of her cracked desk. Fong bows beside him with something on his hands, a Rambo knife with a snake and roses carved on its silver blade. Ezekiel wasn't sure to take it when he first saw it, but then he lifts his hand slowly to reach the present, "Thank you"

He turned to P who's been waiting for him, she says, "Buy me a McDonald"

At first, Ezekiel seemed to confuse that his first mission is buying junk foods, but since the lady across him is now his boss, he nods and bows then leaves the room immediately.

"Boss" Fong delivers a disk to her desk as P nods in agreement at her personal assistant, "Is there any progress?" she asked.

"The casino is clean, but we found a suspicious letter inside Huang's office" Fong reported.

One of her bodyguards, William delivers a brown envelope to her desk.

"There's a letter without words, just a signature" Fong continued.

P pulled the white paper from the envelope and unfold the letter, there's only a huge signature with the first letter "J", but it could be "S" and also "T", the rest words could not be seen.

"Perhaps Huang is clean, he sounded like he needs some help" added Fong.

P feels like something left in the envelope, she puts her fingers inside the brown wrap.

A silver coin; a skull with angel wings.

.......

.......

.......

We, Havu, also have a lot of businesses, like Silver Casino, Harvard Mall, Bordeaux Complex, Lix Amusement Park, some other investments too. Havu is also a huge company, Havu. corp.

Brianna Patricia Havu stands at the top, while the others are director manager or something, her cousins.

That's why my father insists to get me a boyfriend. He wants me to inherit my power, but no, he wants a grandchild.

Look at him.

Johnny cheerfully played with strangers' children at the amusement park, his favorite visit among all. He jumps left and right as the kids are trying to catch him.

"Tch, why don't you just tell me you want a grand-children" watching her playful old man from far.

It isn't because she doesn't want to give him a grandchild or something. P never think about having a boyfriend anymore, ever since high school.

It's just... hard to fall in love.

The lady boss tilted her head and glares at Ezekiel. He stands beside as her personal guard, he will follow her wherever she goes.

Damn, how much I hate him, she thought.

Suddenly, her mind traveled as she is reminded of her clan's danger, "Who steals Havu's disk?"

Two weeks ago, someone barged into their safe box and steals Havu's disk. The footage has been deleted, so she couldn't find any clue except the GPS on the disk. They found two locations that led to Romero the hitman, then Huang the casino owner. P's still tracking for the next location.

Maybe it looks easy, a lady with a throne and a boss of a mafia clan.

Then again, there's always something that makes her need to keep her eyes up, she has to always be careful.

P hasn't checked the disk Fong took from Huang's office, told that it's a month CCTV footage in Huang's office.

One thing that has been disturbing her is, Romero talks about "fuckin messin with the angel skull" then she found the silver coin from Huang's envelope. Are they related?

Romero is just a hired-hitman when Huang is just a businessman. They are supposed to be never related.

DOR!

A gunshot interrupted the crowds. P felt the splats of blood on her face.

Johnny, P's father collapsed onto the ground, followed by some of the amusement visitors screaming at the blood coming out from the hole from his head. Everyone is running, screaming out loud, the scene is a total gore.

"Fa-father?" she turned into a straight face, staring at his lifeless old man, shocked to speak.

P's bodyguards form a line and her private guard pulls her off the crowds, "We need to go, boss"

She turned stiff and unable to move, "We have to be quick!" pulling her in the other direction.
