CHAPTER ONE

Everyone in the stadium was eagerly waiting for the one rider to show up. Next moment a black Yamaha R1 entered the stadium with Roar.

Everyone started to shout in excitement, watching the person get into the line of racing. The person who was riding Yamaha R1 was dressed in black outfit and black helmet, no one ever saw the rider's face.

Aaron was sitting in the stadium looking at the Yamaha R1 rider, he was feeling familiar with the rider. The race started and all the bike riders dashed to win. As always Yamaha R1 was in first position, and closed to be the winner.

The race was extremely dangerous, some racers fell off their bikes or some crashed onto the boundary because of speed.

Yamaha R1 also felt difficult but managed himself. The race ended with Yamaha R1 finishing the line. All the people scream in surprise and excitement.

When it was time to take the prize, Yamaha R1 looked towards the stadium and removed the helmet. Silence filled the stadium— Valencia stood on the track with her helmet in hand. 

They didn't expect a teenager old girl to win the race. But soon they recovered from shock and presented her, her first prize. Aaron was stunned after seeing Valencia on the track and winning the deadly race.

After receiving her prize, Valencia's eyes directly met with Aaron's eyes. She winked at him and turned to leave the stadium with people cheering for her.

Few weeks ago.

VALENCIA'S POV 

I shooted down the man with my silencer on revolver. I was just taking breaths as another man wrapped his arm around my neck, trying to choke me.

I kicked on his leg and grabbed his shoulder, threw him on the ground and punched him in the face till he lost consciousness.

"You damn girl, you'll die today." Another man said and ran towards me to punch me but I blocked his fist and kicked him between his thighs.

"Not a damn girl." I retorted back and twisted his arm.  "My name is Valencia De Von Cruz, so mind calling my full name next time." I said and broke his hands.

He shouted in pain, holding his left hand.  "H..how can a 15 year old be so strong?" He groaned in pain.

"Well, I'm fifteen but stronger than you grown men." I rolled my eyes and reloaded my gun.  "Any last wish?" I asked, smirking at him.

"P.. please leave me. I'll leave this work and live a normal life." He begged but I don't feel sympathy for him.

I pointed the gun on his forehead.  "I never leave my prey alive." That was the last word I said and shooted him between his eyes.

"Those young girls were begged you too to leave them, but you bastards brutally raped them and killed them." I muttered and brushed off the dust from the clothes.

I hid my gun under my clothes and walked away from the place, wearing a cap to cover my face. Soon people noticed the bodies and called the police but I had already left the area.

My bodyguards noticed me and surrounded me, protectively. One guard opened the door of the car for me as I sat inside taking my jacket off to replace it with a new jacket.

"Miss, where should we take you? To school or work?" Robert, the head bodyguard asked as he sat in the passenger seat. 

"Let's go to work." I replied and took the hot chocolate he gave me. I put on my headphones and sipped my drink.

I was looking outside the window, when my eyes caught a person. His back was facing me as he squatted down on the roadside footpath, patting a street dog.

My car was stopped because of a redlight. I was staring at the boy, his little chubby body was looking too cute. He stood up and turned back with a gummy smile on his lips.

I was stunned by his smile. His smile is like sunlight in darkness. A dark scary night is brightened up by a heaven light. 

I'm like an empty soul, where he's a ray of hope, a light without any darkness in life. 

My car started to move as I looked away from that boy. Car races on the road and in no time we reached my brother's company. Robert opened the door for me.

I walked inside the company and entered a private elevator to go to my brother's cabin. I walked inside his cabin, but stopped as soon as my eyes met with cold eyes.

"Where were you?" The man asked. I looked around and found my both brothers on the couch, looking at me.

"Doing some business." I replied and stood across the table. I didn't dare to look into his eyes— he's scary.

"Doing business or killing someone?" The old man asked coldly. He's Michael Scott, my mother's father— my grandpa. But he hates me.

"If you know that, why are you asking?" I snapped at him, but didn't look at him. My brothers immediately came and stood by my side.

The person who's on my right side is my elder brother, Archer De Von Cruz. The current CEO of 'De Von Cruz' company and king of underworld mafia 'Dark Knights' . He's 20 years old, and the elder twin brother.

And my left side brother is my second older brother, Adelio De Von Cruz. The current Director of the 'De Von Cruz' company and second king of underworld mafia 'Dark knights'. He's 20 years old and the younger twin brother.

The old man slapped the file on the table and stood up, if my brothers weren't on my side, I might have stepped back.  "If you want to be the queen, then stop doing stupid things. If not then forget about the queen." Old man shouted.

A shiver ran down my spine. No, I want to be the queen. I've to be a queen so I can do what I want. Then this old man will not be able to scare me anymore.

"O..okay, I'll be in control." I stuttered. He glared at me before leaving the cabin. But I heard him muttering to himself  'murderer' towards me.

 I sat down on a chair with my shivering legs. My breath quickened, Archer quickly passed me a glass of water as I hastily took a sip. 

"Calm down, Cupcake." Archer said and Patted my back. 

"That old man is out of his mind, don't mind him." Adelio said, caressing my hand.

I don't like to remember that night. That was the scariest, most horrific night in my life. But my grandpa never let me forget about it.

"I'm fine." I said and smiled brightly towards my brothers. They never blamed me for that night, in fact they loved me more.

"Are you sure?" They asked, I nodded.  "Okay, we have some work, so wait for sometime then we'll go home?" Adelio said.

"Okay, I'll wait." I replied and we got busy with our work. I read my fictional books, and my brothers complete their work.

After a few hours, we finished our work and were ready to go home. It was evening when we walked out of the company and sit inside the car.

Our car moved as I sat between my brothers. I was looking in the front when a familiar shop caught my eyes.

"Brother, ice cream!!" I chipped happily. They looked outside and told the driver to stop the car.

I stepped out of the car with my brothers and walked inside the ice cream shop. I love ice cream!! It's my favorite thing to lighten up my bad mood.

"I want 2 ice creams!!" I gave my order to the shop owner.

"Nope, you're taking only one ice cream." Archer said and I pouted sadly.

"No. I want two." I muttered, acting sad and giving my best puppy eyes. I know they can't resist my sad face.

"Please." I said, holding Adelio's arm, giving him puppy eyes.

"Argh, okay. Two ice creams." He says and orders four ice creams. Our order came in a few minutes as I took two ice creams.

I unwrapped one ice cream, taking a bite. Ice cream melted in my mouth as I hummed in satisfaction.

We were eating while leaning against our car. Suddenly a gunshot echoed around, we turned back and saw the people running here and there.

Another gunshot echoed and something hit me hard as darkness fell in front of my eyes and I fell down groaning in pain.
