I told her I wanted to move out and she started crying and then yelled at me for being so "ridiculous."

Papa and I get our stuff and walk out of the home gym. "So, you understand your mission and what you have to do?" Papa asks, while raising his eyebrows at me.

"Yes." I roll my eyes at him.

"Tell me. What do you need to do?" Papa stops walking and stands in front of me.

"I have to kill Anton Invano who will be working in the warehouse on Friday this week," I stated, with a teasing smile.

"Okay, and how will you do it?" Papa puts his hand on his hip and stares down at me with a questioning look that is supposed to look intimidating but it’s really not.

At least not to me.

"I will be in your office and call him up to, and I quote, talk to him.”

"Okay, and when he is in the office, then what?"

"You really want a play-by-play?" I laugh.

"Yes, Reign!"

I laugh. "Once he is in the office, I will hold a conversation with him and then ask some questions about the other mafia. I will get information out of him and then kill him."

"And you will stay safe while doing so. Correct?" Papa raises his eyebrows at me, and I nod my head. "Good. ‘Because I can't lose you Reign."

"You won't!" I yelled playfully. "I swear Papa, I'll be careful," I assure him, and he pulls me in for a hug.

"You better be. I can't have you dying on me Reign. I need you to stay alive." Papa narrows his eyes at me, and I chuckle.

"I will! Don't worry."

Papa kisses the top of my head. “Good, now let’s get some dinner. I’m hungry and you know how I am with your mama’s cooking.”

Papa and I walk inside the house and go to the dinner table. I wanted to shower but Mama is super strict on having a family dinner at a certain time.

It's just me, Mama, Papa, and Baba who live in this house. We have such a big house for only four people living here. We used to have Dyado, but he died when I was a kid.

"How was the workout?" Mama asks as Papa, and I walk inside the kitchen.

"Good. Papa taught me how to punch harder when fighting," I say as I sit down next to Mama at the table.

"As long as you're having fun," Baba says with a warm smile on her face.

Baba and I are super close and I'm lucky to have her in my life. She is always there for me whenever I need her, same with Mama but sometimes I need Baba to talk to. Mama can’t take me seriously since I’m her only child.

"I am. But I think I may need a new trainer. Papa’s getting kind of old," I joke, and Papa rolls his eyes at me before sitting next to Mama.

He kisses her forehead and whispers something in her ear making her blush like a teenager. I can’t help but smile at them.They look so happy and in love and I just hope to experience that someday.

"Stop lying. I'm the best damn trainer you'll ever have." Papa looks away from Mama and jokingly glares at me.

Reign

Papa didn’t letme leave the house without a list of specific instructions he wanted me to follow or at least remember to make sure I don’t die, not that I’m going to.

I’m not worried. I’m excited to see how this mission goes. I know I should definitely take this seriously but I’m just happy that Papa finally let me do this by myself.
