Jessica: I'm the Mafia Boss of Titans, Jessica Kennedy

Maverick was beyond shock. He didn't know what to do. The boss of his enemy gang was Jessica! The four of them were baffled.
She still looked the same. Those pretty eyes which had depth in them, those beautifully carved lips, that sharp nose, sharp jawline. Maverick noticed the necklaces she was wearing. One was which Ryan had gifted her and the other was his gift. Her hair had grown and reached her hips. And her complexion was still as beautiful as ever.

Behind this beauty was the enemy he never wanted to meet. Or maybe the one he wanted for years...

???: A woman?

Jessica: Yes, Boss of Inferno. The only heir of the Kennedys. Okay, so this is Enrique Ross, the head of the planning department. Ian Kline, my right-hand man.

Ryan: Can you please tell us how did you manage to raise such an empire which was demolished years ago?

Jessica: Well, that's what makes us the Top, right Mr. Williams?

Maverick looked at Jessica who had a tiny smirk on her lips.

Jessica looked at Maverick. Her heart was craving for him. No matter what, she still loved him the same. Maverick wasn't clean-shaven anymore. He had a stubble beard now and that looked attractive. 

Mark: I don't think you're at the Top. It's us, Born Killers.

Ian: You were. Now we're at the Top

Enrique: Mr. Williams, what does it feel like?

Maverick narrowed his eyes.
Mark: What does what feel like?

Jessica: To lose

She looked straight into Maverick's eyes. She looked evil with that expression and that smirk. Maverick looked at her but after a few seconds, broke the eye contact. Jessica was trying to captivate him with her eyes but Maverick won't give in to the gang who had killed his father.

Jessica: Every gang has a speciality. Our speciality is making money and reaching the Top. So, this conference is about our enemy.

Liam: The Dynamo Detective Investigation Agency?

Jessica: Yes, Mr. Lopez. The DDIA is a corrupt government body.

Liam was puzzled.
Did Jessica fail to recognize him? Did she lose her memory?
Was it a mission?
Or is it one of her games? Of course, she is a player. Quite a wise one.

Ian: We know, that it's targeting us.

Dimitri: And what made you think so?

Enrique: We've sources.

Jessica: We'd be discussing a few other things as well. So, shall we begin?

Everyone went silent and a few slightly nodded their heads. Jessica scanned all of them and landed her eyes on Maverick and Ryan.

Jessica: Good

So basically, this conference was held to discuss gang stuff and mostly about DDIA. In addition to that, among these gangs, some held rivalry, and some had each other's back.

Jessica, towards the end, was quite bored. Her looks said it all. After two and a quarter hour of boring conference, it finally came to an end.

Jessica: It's over?

Ian: Yeah

Jessica: Finally.

She stood up and left the hall without saying anything. The other people looked at each other.

Enrique: The conference has come to an end. You all may leave and go back to where you came from.

All of them slowly left, including Agent 002 and Agent 006; Maverick, and Ryan.

Liam: Are we supposed to inform Mr. Kim?

Dimitri: I dunno. Jessica is one of the Top Agents. And now she's the Boss? Of the oldest enemy of the Underworld? Did she lose her memory? Or was she really the one from the beginning? Or is it a mission?

Liam: Exactly. I just don't know how to confide this to Boss, let alone Mr. Kim.

____________

Sophia: Isn't that Born Killers' fighter?

Sophia was in a car which was in the parking lot near the conference hall. In front of her car was another car where Daniel Scott was sitting.

Sophia: What is he up to?

_____________

Maverick went to his hotel room and sat down on the bed. His heart was pounding.

Jessica, a Mafia Boss? And... that too of the gang which is responsible for the death of his father?

Mark: No way! She... She can't be. She can't be her!  She's acting for sure. It's a mission.

He opened his blazer and threw it aside. He paced around the room, feeling restless.

On the other hand, Ryan called Daniel and informed everything. And naturally, Daniel couldn't believe his ears.

_____________

Enrique: You saw the look on Maverick Williams' face?!

Ian: Yeah. Williams never thought that Jessica would be the Boss of his enemy gang. Jessica shocked the whole Underworld.   

Sophia: I think we should stop discussing these things. She won't be happy to hear these.

Enrique: Fine. I'll keep my mouth shut, Darling.

Sophia smiled. Ian looked at the two and chuckled. Sophia Anderson and  Enrique had been in the relationship since they had entered their adolescence period.

Ian: Ahh! Love Birds. Please stop staring. Everyone's in a relationship except me.

Sophia: Just stop playing around.

Ian: It's fun to break hearts. Jessica did.

Enrique: She didn't break Maverick's heart for fun unlike you. She has reasons. Jessica doesn't do anything without any reason.

Ian: Oh please man! I can get any girl if I want. I don't want anyone's fvcking advice!

Ian stormed out of the room. Sophia and Enrique looked at each other.

Sophia: What's wrong with him? He's never lost his cool.

_______________

Liam: Boss...

Jackson: Come on! Answer me! Who's the Boss?!

Liam looked at Dimitri. Their faces were tensed.

Liam: Boss, we'll tell you everything after we reach there. It's quite dangerous here.

Jackson: We'll send you a car to pick you two up. We want the information ASAP!

Liam: Y-Yes Boss. Just know one thing, the information...

Jackson: What?

Liam: It's complicated.

______________

Mr. Kim: What's up with you, Agent 007?

Jessica: I'm sorry. I'm feeling off-color these days.

Mr. Kim: Strange. You're the fittest agent in our agency. It's been more than two years since you accomplished your 'big' mission. It's true, you did accomplish some more missions but they weren't as important as that one. You've even stopped coming to the agency.

Jessica: I'm a human as well. I need some rest. For the past month, my health has deteriorated, Sir. I'm taking my meds. I hope I'll be able to go and meet you. Soon.

Mr. Kim: Fine. Make sure you recover soon. We want you ASAP. We need you, Agent 007.

Mr. Kim hung up the call. Jessica kept the phone aside and hugged a pillow. She was sitting on the bed, resting her back on another pillow and looking at the ceiling.

Jessica: We met after years.

She got out of bed, kept the pillow there, and walked up to the door of the balcony. She removed the curtains and opened the door. She stepped outside and leaned against the railing, admiring the night sky. The full moon was shining brightly and the stars were twinkling. The night sky looked more beautiful than ever before.

Behind that hard, strong, dark, Mafia woman was a soft woman who wanted to enjoy the night sky with the person whom she loved the most.

The soothing, cool breeze fluttered Jessica's hair. She was feeling the breeze and it reminded her of that person, the person to whom her heart belongs...

_______________

*Next morning*

Jessica was sitting on the couch, reading magazines and Ian was doing something on his laptop. Sophia and Enrique looked at each other while having breakfast.

Enrique (whisper): Who will tell her?

Sophia eyed Ian. She whispered to him. Ian raised his eyebrows.

Sophia: Please...

Ian took a deep breath and nodded. He went up to Jessica.

______________

Mark: You knew everything! You fvcking knew everything! Right from the very beginning!

Born Killers had returned except for Maverick. He went to his ancestral house to meet his Grandpa.

Mark: Why? Why didn't you ever tell me that she's the daughter of the enemy?! She's the daughter of my father's killer! WHY?! Why didn't you tell me that she was alive?!

Maverick had a lot of questions running through his mind ever since he saw Jessica.
All these years, she was alive... She was with me, yet I didn't get it.

Grandpa: Mark, you don't love her. You just used her.

Mark: Who said I don't love her?! She's the only woman I'd loved the most after my mother. She's the one whom I wanted all these years. She's the one whom I chose as my fiancé. Don't you understand?

Maverick took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Tears were streaming down his cheeks. He paced around the room and talked to himself.

Mark: When I came to know about her name, I wanted to believe that it was her. But 'Jessica' is a common name and 'Kennedy' is a common surname.

Maverick stopped and looked at his Grandpa. His eyes were full of sorrow and he looked hurt.

Mark: Did you forget those days when I heard the news? Did you forget the time when I had a panic attack for the first time?

Grandpa James was nearly shocked to see Maverick cry. He rose from his chair and placed his hand on Maverick's shoulder.

Grandpa: Mark...

Mark: Now I know why her touch was familiar. I miss her every second, Grandpa. But we can't be what I dreamt of.

Maverick walked away and faced the wall and cried silently. He didn't want to show this side of himself to anyone. But he couldn't hold it anymore.
If only Jessica knew everything...

Grandpa: She hates the agency. You don't know what she's gone through!

Maverick faced him, his face tear-stained.

Mark: She just left her family and served the agency. Now she has come back to take revenge on me, revenge on the gang!

Grandpa: Mark! Listen to me. The enmity between us and Titans had been going on for decades. But at some point of time, we'd decided to do something. But it was never fulfilled. Jessica will do that thing. It was her mission ever since she was born.

Mark: Why am I supposed to know this? Just tell me why you didn't tell me that it was her!

Grandpa: I've no answer for that.

Maverick clapped loudly and then let out a mocking laugh.
Mark: Great!

Grandpa: Mark!

Maverick looked at his grandpa. His heart was breaking down.

Even if we are so close, we cannot be together...

Grandpa: At least you never had to witness the death of your father...

Maverick frowned. 
Mark: What?

... In the hands of the people you work for
