Summertime

(Aries POV)

"I hope you enjoyed the rest of the day." I said as I pulled up in the driveway to drop my boyfriend off.

"I always do, especially when I am with you, Aries!" Easton said. He never fails to make my heart flutter.

"We should do a road trip sometimes, Easton!" I suggested.

"I am totally down for that! Let's make the most out of this summer." He said. I leaned in to kiss him on the lips before bidding farewell to him. I waited for him to enter his house before driving away to my house.

As soon as I arrived, I noticed a black limousine outside the mansion. I sighed, knowing that my dad has arrived home. I am just going to stay out of this and walk away if a drama erupts between the two of us. I am not going to let him ruin my mood after a great date with Easton. I parked my car in our garage and hopped off before making sure it's locked.

I was making my way towards the entrance, and I was completely dreading in opening the door. I took a deep breath before pulling the handle and entering the mansion. Lo and behold, my dad is sitting comfortably on the sofa with a wine glass on his hand. By the looks of it, it seems like he has been waiting for me quite a while.

"Aries, my good for nothing, son!" He greeted.

"What do you want?" I asked nonchalantly.

"Damn, is that any way to greet your father?" He asked in a sinister tone.

"Why are you here?" I asked.

"Excuse me? As far as I remember, I own this mansion so I can come here anytime I want to."

"Fine, let me reconstruct my sentence. What do you want from me?" I asked straightforwardly.

"First of all, you sit your ass down and let's talk like real gentlemen." I grunted before sitting on the sofa, far from him.

"Well, Aries, you are my son so I know you better than anyone. I know you have spent the rest of your life, trying to impress me and gain my approval but you always fail, don't you?"

"This is not going to get us anywhere, I am just gonna go to my room." I said.

"I AM NOT FINISHED!" He screamed and threw the wine glass on the floor, shattering it, which made me flinch in a way.

"Right now, I feel and I know that you still want to prove yourself to me...so I have one more task for you." He said.

"I don't want to go back there anymore! I don't want to be your assassin. I have moved on from it. I don't want to kill people anymore." I claimed.

"There's no point in lying, son! You're gonna have to do it one way or another anyway." He said.

"Why can't you just ask that favorite son of yours?" I retorted.

"Because I know you have the potential as well, you're my son! I know you can do it and if you ever accomplish this, I will be the proudest father anyone has ever seen. This is the most difficult task you will ever encounter and if you can do this, hats off to you!"

I sighed. There's no harm in trying, I guess. I am scared. What if I fucked up again? What if he's just manipulating me? Will he really appreciate my work if I did it right?

"What is it?" I asked.

"Avani, one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world is almost on the palm of my hands. I assassinated my business partner but obviously, his son named Logan Avani is still alive so you're gonna have to track down that son of his and kill him so I can have full ownership of the company. It sounds so simple but it's very hard to execute because Logan Avani's identity has been changed and he's hiding out there somewhere." He said.

"Do you have any latest updates regarding his identity because I am going to need those for me to track him down?" I asked.

"As of now, just a few but..." My dad was cut off by a ring in his phone.

"Hello?" He spoke. He began to converse with someone on the phone and suddenly, his expression changed from stoic to delightful.

"Are you serious? Is this official already?" He asked.

"Thank you!" He said and hung up. I narrowed my eyes at him and asked him a question.

"What was that about?" I said.

"You're in luck! We finally have an info regarding his fake identity. He is hiding under the name of EASTON MOORE and he studies at Holy Trinity University, the same university you're in. Those are enough information for you to do this job easily. Don't disappoint me." He said.

My jaw dropped open, my eyes widened and I think my heart stopped beating. My dad was speaking but everything was tuned out. I was stunned and gobsmacked. Is this for real right now?

No! No! No! THIS CAN'T BE!

"What's his name again?" I asked.

"Easton Moore!"

At that point, I knew that Easton and I can never be together, especially if he finds out. Thinking about it just shattered my heart to pieces. What am I going to do? If he finds out that my father was the one who assassinated his father, I don't think it will go well for both of us. He will definitely hate me.
