Good Girl Gone Bad: Queen Of The Underworld

"Book me a flight, X. I'm going back to country X" Seraphina ordered the moment she steps her foot on the mansion's living area. Surprisingly, everyone was gathered there and were just chilling out. Well, it is understandable as they only finished a nerve-racking mission.

"Alright. Gotta make you a passport." X raised his straight thick eyebrows before standing from his seat and do the assigned work.

Ultimately, Seraphina was abducted by a chopper with no proper doc_u_ments with her and entering her home country with a private helicopter would be suspicious. After all, they made a huge ruckus last night in country x and everyone who enters and exit the country will be suspicious especially with a private vehicle.

"And Riggs, you can stay here and continue mourning." Seraphina spats as she takes a seat in one of the sets of sofas inside the spacious living area.

"d*mn, my bottled longing is gone. Thanks to you, boss." Riggs murmurs his sarcasm.

"You're welcome. At least, Rex won't see your crying face again." sassing back with Riggs sarcasm, Seraphina won't back down as well.

"Tch." alas, Riggs only clicks his tongue as he grits his teeth and turns his eyes away from the pale as a sheet and as if she was draining the life out of her yet still keeping her sassiness boss of his.

Just this time, Jack threw his thin case of cigarette and lighter to Seraphina's direction which she caught without exerting much effort.

"Thanks," Seraphina said before pulling a stick of cigarette, she clipped it in between her pale, dry lips and lit it up without a word.

"Eh boss, didn't you said your quitting?" Wren's brows arc seeing Seraphina was smoking. After a long drag, she puffed the strong smell of smoke before she answers.

"I did but, it helps me restrain myself from whacking someone's head." Indeed, though Seraphina stops smoking a long time ago, alas, with her current situation since her rebirth, she can't find herself an alternative to calm herself whenever her little demons start whispering on her ears. Thank the cigarette that the people she found annoying including Marga, George, and the others were still alive.

Just then, Rex came into the living area and the first thing he noticed is the smell of strong burning wood incense that was harsh to the nose of the bystander but good to the one who's smoking it.

Spotting that Seraphina was leisurely smoking, he warned "Boss, you should stop. I told you it will slower the drug to wear off."

"Oh please, my dear father, that drug is ripping my internals but I'm a m_a_s_o_c_h_i_s_t." rolling her eyes, Seraphina didn't bother to Rex's warning as she takes another long drag.

"That new fish knows a trusted doctor to look at your condition." Rex continues, ignoring her disobedience and ignorance about her own health.

"I also know one."

"Liam Jin cannot be trusted."

"Rex -- stop." after a brief silence, Seraphina altered her sharp gaze to Rex on the side. Her tone was demanding and her aura turns perilous by the second. Though she doesn't have any idea how Rex knew about Liam Jin. However, to her, Liam is probably the most trusted person she can rely on for the safety of her grandfather.

With that said warning, Rex can only shut up and take his opinion to him. Knowing her personality, she is the type of person that likes a person in an instant but takes a lot of misconduct to turn her fondness to loathe. But, if she hates someone -- that person will surely face a huge consequence.

Moreover, he believes that Seraphina was smart enough to know when to stop and when to start being wary about someone. Indeed, in the underworld, it is given that every Don doesn't give their hundred percent trust to his subordinates which is understandable. Hence, Rex and the others respect her decision -- with or without their oath.

"I'm coming back with you." After a momentary silence, Rex declared with affirmation and resolute.

"I'm taking you with me anyway. I can't always work alone since Riggs will be gone for a week or two." Seraphina shrugs as she says her comments in a trivial tone. She added,

"Also you, big earner, cutest cannot handle all the works in your cute flowery shop."
