Midnight Scars

Lily's Point of ViewFive years ago, I'm aware of what will happen if I continue living as the organization's assassin and stayed as their member. I was rising above others. My name and skills are exceptional, enough for the other members of the organization to think that I'll be their next leader.It happened before my eighteenth birthday. Before my legality. Unexpected news was fallen into my shoulder. A heavy boulder that has been placed between life and death. The leader, the highest ranking man of the organization stepped down from his seat and indeed choose me to replace him. I was overwhelmed, stupid, and naive enough to accept the position. I was seventeen, who would think that he'll place the Thanatos under me? Well, everyone does.But, it didn't become a steady ride for me. It started to be complicated when he-- the unknown and psychotic leader of the organization where I belong since I was seven is after me. No one knows him, not even his voice. The only thing that binds u

I remembered, that I always hear my parents having no-ending arguments and how I hid in the corner while listening to them.And there's that day when my dad asked me to come with him. I didn't want to, but he forced me. That was when I become part of the organization called 'Thanatos' when I was seven. My father drags me to be part of the organization as payments to his debts or as his way to get rid of me. I let him, even though I know that he's still a lot of money because my grandfather is rich and I'm so tired of seeing his face.After three years, I came back to the place that I once called home. I'm expecting my father that already regretted what he did to me cause I'm all ready to forgive him and recreate all the things that we did together since I was a child.Excited and blissful like I was on cloud nine when I got home. I was looking forward to what will be their reaction.My mind was still on the verge of repairing and my heart was still fragile. I'm still a child, what do

"You're hired."A woman in her thirties said, she fix her glasses after reading my resume and throw me a look."You can start tomorrow."After I applied at Bob's diner yesterday, I am basically here for the interview, the manager did not ask further and hired me after looking down at the resume I give. She's easy to deal with and they pay well."Thank you, ma'am," I politely said and plastered an angelic smile on my face. The woman stared at me and sigh, " Don't call me ma'am, Mrs. White will do," she said, she takes off her glasses and look at me with a hint of admiration written all over her face. My smile fades and awkwardly look at her, "Uh? Is there something wrong?" I asked after I noticed that she keeps staring too much which made me uncomfortable."You're gorgeous, why didn't you try to start modeling? I knew someone that can help you," she said. I softly laugh, "I am not really interested and my father won't approve," I said. Thinking about Nate acting as my strict father

"Good morning Lily!" Enzo, my coworker greeted "I thought I'll cover your shift again," Enzo said and sigh when I open the staff door. I threw him a cold stare."Well, I'm already here, no need to bother," I arrived at the Diner 27 seconds before my shift. "Wew, cold." He commented.I drove my scooter almost flying, it's a good thing that I didn't get a ticket for violating the speed limit. I wore my uniform before walking through the comfort room to wash my face. Exhaustion this morning made my face sweat and head heat.I brush my shoulder-length wig after, it is a good thing that it didn't fall off when I was driving. I look at myself, my blue eyes are reflecting in the mirror, eyes that I got from my father. I grabbed my bag to get my brown contact lenses. My eyes and hair are some of my insecurities, which I inherited from my trash father.My mom is so beautiful, she wears beautiful black hair and dark eyes, which Silas inherited. My mother and brother are both dead. It still st

I cooked dinner after. Nate brought us groceries and I prepared the leftovers from the Diner. I was preparing the dishes while Eya were putting plates on the table."Will Nate stay here?" She asked, she cling to me after putting the last plate om the table. She look at me and smiled, "No sweetie, he's busy," I started, "He'll go somewhere tomorrow, he can't stay here," I explained. Nate told me that he'll go on a business trip, he'll be gone for weeks."But it's been a while since he stayed here," She said and pouted. Eya likes Nate more than anyone else, not even me. He spoiled them too much that even he's gone for a year, it's feels like it was just yesterday. Nate is good on handling kids, he's gentle and understanding. I know that he'll be a good father someday."He can sleep on the sofa," I whispered and chuckled. I don't know if he'll stay here, knowing Nate, he will probably do whatever he wants.Eya called the guys after everything on the table was settled. It's seven o'clock
