15: Heiress Meets Lady Lawyer

Being busy on the books for three hours, Sabrina started to doze off and ICE carried her into her small convertible bedroom. Sabrina did not say anything and just let her eyes rest as soon as ICE carried her.

"Sleep well. I'll wake you up around lunch." ICE gently whispered and kissed her forehead. Sabrina just nodded and snuggled more on the comfy bed that smells like ICE as it made her smile till sleep took over.

Getting back on her desk after tucking Sabrina in, she noticed something blinking over her phone and was about to check it out but she decided not to. She rather does her workload at the DEMar Hotel since she was on duty.

"Hmm…who could it be?" ICE wondered when she saw her phone received a notification and Joan, her secretary and colleague on Marques family security knocked on her door.

"You have a meeting in fifteen minutes before ten." Joan reminded her about her first morning meetings which made her sigh and nodded.

"Alright, prepare me what I need there and knocked me in five." ICE started fixing her table and making sure everything on her computer was saved and privately unseen. Then she checked the text message that she received.

Text Message:

Uncle: DEMar Hotel code: Blood Wife is heading there.

ICE: For what reason?

Uncle: Business matter.

ICE: Noted.

"What business does she have here?" ICE wondered when she read the message from Uncle Earl when another notification has been sent to her phone. She was about to read the second notification when Joan knocked again.

"It's time." Joan informed her and nodded.

She went out of the office together with her secretary Joan but before she got there, she handed her personal phone to Joan for some reason.

"Jo, check the new case and then tell me later about it after the meeting." ICE seriously told Joan and she already knew that it was a sensitive case that only ICE can do since she loves something dangerous. She sighed and nodded then she opened the door of the seminar room on the same floor of the DEMar Hotel.

ICE meeting lasted for one and fifteen minutes and the rest of her morning was clear. They were both heading back to her office when Joan handed her phone back with a serious expression.

"Based on your expression, I'll be exhausted over this one, am I right?" ICE smirked and Joan nodded as they both entered her office since it was more private than the hall.

"True. Read it because you're going to be bloody when dealing with BB or the so-called Bad Brothers. They were known for raping teenagers from 16 to 30 years old regardless of their genders. They filmed it and killed them when they had a hard time with them. Also, when they had a hard time dealing with their prey, they played with their families causing man slaughtering." Joan informed ICE about the new case that landed in ICE's hands as the 3F Killer or 3FK.

"Hmm…I already know about them but I'm not really interested in them…" ICE answered when she heard the report that Joan got for her after knowing the task that was sent to her.

"And why is that?" Joan wondered.

"I'm more interested in the two certain prey that they could not kill for some reason…" ICE smirked slyly as if she already could picture out what she was going to face once she make her move on the task given to her.

"You are referring to the suspect's mental capacity, am I right?" Joan guessed what ICE has taken an interest in and ICE grins since she was more interested to know the mental illness that the men inflicted on their prey's mind. Trauma.

"Interesting, right? Anyway, call me if something comes up, and don't let them enter my room without your permission. I have to check something privately." She grinned as she let Joan handle business matters at the hotel while she check on her private task more before letting her secretary leave the office.

"Note, Lady Iolana." Joan respectfully bowed and let her be alone in preparing what needed to be done.

ICE was smirking when she heard her new task to face and decided to check the message again. She read it while grinning like a monster in disguise before chuckling in a sinister tone.

Text Message/s:

New case: 10 tonight at Central Park - Sakura Garden Theme Park.

Code: BLOOD

Target: Tony & Terek Evangelista

Age: 65

Occupation: Theme Park Security Guard

DEAL: Rapists and homicide killers are known as BB or Bad Brothers; both escaped from jail two days already.

"Oh boy, this will be fun and bloody." ICE sinisterly laughed when somebody or a particular familiar someone suddenly bragged inside the room and Joan was in tow.

"Bloody again tonight? You're dead your lady if you don't tell her about your night task again." Lexie commented as soon as she entered the office. ICE sighed and waved her hand to dismiss Joan and closed the door of her office.

"I know and can you knock before you enter my office?" ICE coldly and frankly said to Lexie who immediately took the liberty to seat on a chair across her desk.

"Out of habit since it was just you inside the office." Lexie answered in a very familiar tone.

"I am not alone." ICE answered with a sigh.

"I know and she's asleep." She smirked and ICE glared. She knew that Lexie was teasing her already.

"So, I heard that you're coming here for a business matter and what is it?" ICE changed the subject before the tease went on between them.

"Be careful on the incoming wave of a man named Marlon Marlow. Be wary about that man. I can't give you the detail yet because the police were still handling some matters pointing at him." Lexie went into her serious mode and warned her about a certain man that might land into their quiet business life.

"You're not just going to say that to me if you didn't encounter her in some Marques properties." ICE noticed and Lexie nodded.

"You really know me that well. And yes, you were right. He was snooping around in some hotel of Marques. But he was like checking things first before plotting something." She was smirking when she briefly answered her.

"What job he does do?" she wondered as she curiously listened to her carefully.

"Not much like money laundering and smuggling of illegal firearms." Lexie answered directly what she knew about that man.

"I see…he is involved with some mafias." she nodded in understanding but smirked.

"Yes, be careful, he might learn something about you." Lexie warned her and ICE knew what she meant about it.

"Not a chance since everyone knows me as Spider Lily and not the 3FKiller." ICE chuckled confidently since she was very good at being mysterious in her own way.

"Who gave that name to you anyway?" Lexie groaned to her code names that has been given to her by some government police.

"I am not sure to the police why they gave me that name but I'm known to them as Spider Lily. I'm a diversion when I play along with them. But when I'm in my three flower mode…that's the time they don't know what's coming to them." ICE chuckled in amusement at the code names that she have even since she popped out of the blue and kills criminal people.

"Don't get too involve with the police." Lexie sighed as she warned her and ICE nodded.

"I know. My focus is on the family since it was the lifetime task that was given to me ever since they adopted me." She knew who really needed her protection and working with the police was just for fun and to gather information easily.

"Why I've got the feeling whoever tries to mess with the Marques, you will unleash the Hasten once again." Lexie sighed as she shivered when ICE went into her killer instinct whenever the safety of the Marques family was on the line.

"I may run in many codes but that name was given to me by the Marques family head and it won't die easily. I'm too fast and mysterious to get caught easily especially when I'm protecting something very dear to me." she seriously said to Lexie who smirked since she knew that ICE was true to her words and actions.

"I get what you mean and speaking of dearest, she's awake." Lexie began grinning slyly and ICE noticed it.

"Aren't you going to leave?" She wondered.

"I think it's time to meet her." Lexie grins more. ICE knew that Lexie was planning something.

"Are you sure or…" ICE was about to ask again but Lexie cut her off as soon as she saw Sabrina come out from her private bedroom in her office.

"Oh, hi. I didn't realize that you're with someone here." Lexie changed her tone to a jolly and friendly type of person and playfully slapped ICE's arm. ICE knew something was up already.

"Sabrina Marques, this is Lexie Coles my personal and private lawyer of the Marques family." ICE introduced Sabrina to Lexie finally in person but somewhere within her hoping that she didn't. Something was up around Lexie's behavior that she had to play along.

"Is she the heir of the Marques family?" Lexie wanted to confirm though she was already aware of Sabrina.

"Yes, she is." ICE answered.

"Oh, finally. I'm so happy to meet you." Lexie shakes hands with Sabrina but it didn't last when Sabrina bluntly speaks to her.

"Same here but not so please on your closeness to what belongs to me." Sabrina coldly and firmly said to Lexie as she claimed ICE as hers.

"Oh, you've got a territorial lady here, Ion." Lexie smirked teasingly at ICE and called her into ICE's usual nickname that everyone knew about.

"Lexie." ICE warned since she could feel the tension from Sabrina.

"What? She's fierce I like it. Can I date you for lunch, lady Sabrina?" Lexie winked at Sabrina and even asked her out for lunch. Sabrina shivered as she didn't like Lexie's advances to her.

"Lexie." ICE warned because Sabrina was boiling from within already even though it was not showing. ICE just could tell easily the angry silence from Sabrina to her typical cold silence. She could tell the difference between the two and only she can tell it.

"And now you're being a jelly knight or do you want to have alone time with me instead, Ionlana?" Lexie winked as she leaned closer to ICE as if she was triggering something and it was working.

"Leave. We're going to have lunch now and I don't want you around." Sabrina firmly commanded Lexie and she jolted from the tone that she used.

"But…" Lexie tried to play more but ICE sighed heavily.

"Lex, just, please. Leave. We're dong talking business and she doesn't want to hang out with you today. So please, if you may." ICE pushed her out of the office gently.

"Fine, but glad to see you in person. Oh, and see you around, Ion." Lexie turned to smile at Sabrina who was glaring at them before she kissed ICE's cheek and leave as if she didn't do anything there.
