Chapter 2

Kaira was contemplating her impending marriage when her phone buzzed. Her fiancé and his family will visit them over the weekend to meet with them, according to her father. She is not very excited about it, despite the fact that her father is overjoyed about that news. After reading the message, the scowl on her face that had already been left due to her thinking about her soon to be marriage turned into a wide smile. And from the earlier loss of interest, she suddenly turned excited. 

"Who was it, exactly? Don't tell me it's who I'm thinking of?" Enzo inquired. "You only change moods really quickly when it's him." 

"Let's go, Enzo," she nodded, her eagerness apparent in her eyes. "There's no point in wasting time. Pace up, pretty boy.” She said as she grabbed her stuff and walked out the door. All Enzo could do was follow her with a shrug of his shoulders. As usual, no explanations were needed because he understood where this was leading. 

The guardia del corpo instantly followed Kaira once they were out, but Enzo motioned for them to stop. "It's okay. We'll just cruise around the city. No worries, stay put while I take care of the ereditiera.” 

The guards acknowledged Enzo's orders with a curt bow. Considering Enzo is a part of the heiress' clan and will soon be sotto capo when Kaira steps in, he can give them commands whenever he wants to. 

"Drive safely and within the speed limit, Kaira," he reprimanded as he climbed into the car. "You don't want us to be detected and get caught again, do you?" he added. 

"Fine, as you say." She remarked, a smile on her face. "I'm really looking forward to this, Enzo." 

"I know, Cugino, and as long as you're happy, I'll be here to support you. I know you've waited for this, and it's here now.” 

"I know, and I'm ecstatic." Kaira said as she drove them to their destination. 

Her heart began to accelerate as she entered the complex, revealing her exhilaration and anticipation. She is optimistic that she will be given the opportunity this time to show them what she has got. They exited the vehicle and walked straight into the old facility, where several guys greeted them as they approached. They responded with a courteous nod and kept on walking until they reached the workplace of the person that they came to see. 

When they approached the door, Kaira paused for a moment, and looked at her cousin. She is trying her best to conceal the smile on her face, but she is really having a hard time doing so. She bit her lower lip and then tapped on the door. 

"Come in," said the person on the other side. 

She cautiously opened up the door and walked into the room with another huff of her breath to compose herself. "Sir." She greeted him. 

"Thank you for coming promptly on such short notice, Agent Ira and Agent Neo." 

She said, "It's an honor to always be of service to the institution, sir." 

"Sit down," the director commanded, so they both did so. 

"Ira, it's time now."

The three words that she has been waiting to hear all along are more than enough to make Kaira lose all her senses. The feeling of exhilaration is overcoming her, and as much as she wants to keep a straight face, she is having a hard time. She's been waiting for this, pining for this, and now it's finally her moment to shine. 

"If you accomplish this assignment successfully, you will be appointed to the agency's highly classified top operative together with members of the team with you. I'm handing you this responsibility because I know you're ready. Agent Neo will support you on this mission, and I am giving you absolute control over this matter. I don't care how you do it, as long as you do it.” 

Because of the loud thumping of her heart, Kaira is really not sure if she's hearing things correctly. But regardless, her desire is already within her grasp. Enzo kicks her foot lightly as she loses herself in her thoughts once more. 

"Are you up for the challenge, Agent Ira? Will you take this chance to show me what you've got?" 

"Yes, sir. I am as ready as I'll ever be." 

"Excellent!" The director said as he handed her a document. "Your mission is to make sure that one of the largest dr*g cartels falls into the hands of the authorities. This organization has been linked to far too many traffickers both in and out of the country, and their dealings are getting nasty. I'd like you to take charge of this expedition and hand me the boss in due time." 

"Yes, sir, I'll be working on it. Consider this done." Kaira is so sure of herself that she can do the job, as she studies the report in her hands. 

Her personal dream has always been to become the country's top secret government agent. She at first believed it was unattainable because she was a mafia heiress, but she was determined to prove them all wrong. Yes, she really does have the skills and she is a fighter, but she will not use them against the law; rather, she will use what she knows for the benefit of the law. She and Enzo are both undercover agents, concealed from her father and the rest of their family.
