My Wife is a Sassy Queen

Liliana began when Liam stalled for time.

“Kyle, your mother comes from a long line of military spies. You know what a spy is, right?”

Kyle nodded.

“Traditionally, only men are sent as spies because women are physically more vulnerable and comparatively more emotional. However, during your mother’s time, there was a very powerful mafia in Z city. He was extending his terror in P city. He had bribed and coerced many people at higher positions – so he would not get caught. Someone inside the Military betrayed us, and he found our spies.”

Liam added, “He killed 25 of our most trained and skilled spies within a week. It left the P City Military in a very vulnerable position. My father was the Army Commander at that time. My grandfather was in a higher position, and the mafia approached my grandfather for something. When he refused, he killed him.”

“Among the 25 spies, three were from your mother’s family. Apart from them, almost 100 people from the force – Police and Military – lost their lives. In total – your mother’s primary and branch family lost five people, the Preston family lost three, plus my grandfather.”

Liam paused because he wasn’t sure how to continue further. Kyle was too calm and emotionless. His face was a mask, and Liam couldn’t see underneath.

Liliana continued for him.

“At that critical time, your mother, who only had regular training, volunteered to go as a spy. Liam’s father opposed it, but he was out of options. People were dying, and there were drugs and lady parts selling businesses everywhere.”

Li interjected, “We have already studied prostitution in class. We know what it means – you don’t have to change it. We also read about human trafficking and selling organs.”

Liliana heaved a sigh and continued, “Yes, well! That person did all of these. So, ultimately under Kyle’s mother’s constant begging, Liam’s father relented and agreed.”

Liliana added, “By the way, your mother’s name is – Keira Brown-Preston. ”

Liam continued, “I used to call her sister Kia back then. Well, Aunty Keira was only twenty-five back then. She was my senior and used to tease me a lot. She was a kind and sunny person – so I don’t know where you inherited that resting bitch face from.”

Jacob coughed, and Liam went to the point.

“She went as a spy, and it took her almost six months – only god knows how rigorous hard work she went through – before she got in the position to find anything about them.”

“She was beautiful and resourceful. She knew the pity act and how to use that to her advantage. She started passing information onto my father slowly.”

“They had multiple people sniffing for spies on the inside, so she had to be very careful to avoid the traps and sort between real and false information.”

“She did a great job.”

“All those months, my father was working towards restoring the peace and gathering info on him on his way. So they all knew that he was behind him. She was his only hidden trump card.”

“My father used her information by camouflaging them and making it look like he gathered it from somewhere else.”

Li questioned sharply, “Why?”

Kyle answered for him, “Protection! Otherwise, the bad people would pinpoint the spy.”

Liam nodded, “Yeah! She reported directly to my father and no one else. They were very close to success, but my mother ruined ten lives.”

Mariana spoke, “I am getting a terrible feeling here.”

Jonathan looked at her, and she saw the same conclusion on his face.

Liam lowered his head and mumbled, “Now you know why I never wanted Kyle to find out until he was older.”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
