I remember this one, it wasn't one of my favorites, but it had to be written. I really have no comments on it, to be honest.
Shawlynn/Ripper-Roo: Thank you for the sympathies. The three days passed, I'm guessing the person that warned me said that I did something really bad.
WhackedByThePaperFan and Suicidal Dream: I'm also glad that you found my story again. It means a lot to me.
B.E.W.D. Warrior Princess: Thank you for the review. And I hope that when I finally have the new chapters up, that you'll like it.
The disclaimers: I do NOT own YuGiOh. I own the Don Lacey and Graham family. I own the Spider Mafia.

Lucy's POV

The cell phone kept ringing as I was just entering my room. I picked up the phone. "Hello?"

"Hello Onyx. Did you complete your mission?"

"Yes Daddy, he was cleaned," I said putting my custom handgun on my dresser. Onyxes were incrusted around the outside of the trigger. A gift from Daddy as anyone can imagine. He had always given me weapons for birthdays and Christmas gifts. From guns to swords to crossbows.

"Very good. I have a new mission for you."

"What a surprise!"

"Meet me at Domino's Coffee House at ten tonight. Bring your husband."

"Why do I have to bring Seto?"

"You'll be working with him."

Anger got the best of me as I gripped the phone. "Daddy, that's not fair! You know I work alone!"

"You can't always get what you want."

With nothing more to say to me, he hung up. Rage filled me as I wanted to crush his skull. He always treats me like some kind of tool. My thoughts started to run deep and dark as I examined the handgun. It was a pretty 9mm, it fit in my hand perfectly. I looked into my reflection into one of the onyxes and suddenly a thought that I came to my head. "How am I going to tell Kaiba about this arrangement?" Sitting up from my current position and thinking about it. I put took the towel off my hair and walked to my vanity table. While I was drying it, my thoughts ran even deeper to memories. Soon as my hair was dry and straight, I put on a robe, got up and went to his office. A cold wind blew against my face as I opened the door. You would think that the wind is coming from Kaiba, certainly I wouldn't be surprised. He folded his hands and put his elbows on the table, ending up with his hands covering his mouth. His eyes looked up at me as if demanding intimidation. Which it did, but for other reasons. "What do you want?" His voice boomed.

Searching for my voice was one thing I had to do right now. I looked away, "Daddy wants to see us over at Domino's Coffee House at ten."

"Why? Doesn't he know that I have work to do?" He questioned me as if I knew my father's motives.

I shook my head, "I don't know."

"Fine, I'll go," he said putting his hands back to the keyboard and continued with the clicking sound. I looked at him with curious eyes. Why didn't he blow me off? Surely, he would of bitched about it some way. "Didn't you hear me? I said I was going to go. Or is that too much information for you to process in your brain?" Again with the insults. Besides his clicking, a long silence rang between us. I decided to get dressed since it was eight already. Slipping into my scarlet dress and some boots, then applying black makeup around my eyes. When I was satisfied with my looks, I went to Kaiba's room. He was very well dressed, just like when I first met him. With a blue buttoned up dress shirt with a black tie and black slacks.

"I assume you're ready," I said as I opened up the door.

"Not yet," he said as he started to put his shoes. "And you shouldn't assume."

"You don't have to tell me the saying. I already know," I said tapping my boot on the marble floor. "Where's Mokuba?"

"You're not his mother, so you don't have to know."

"Sorry for caring."

"You should be sorry for marrying me," he said as he started to walk pass me.

I followed him with my eyebrows furrowed, "like I had a choice. If I remember correctly you made the choice to marry me. I was tricked into it."

"Boohoo. Tell it to someone who cares," he continued on his way.

"Why you little-"

He turned around quickly. Quickly enough to make me bump into him and that made him glare at me. "- Little? Funny, you're the one that has to look up to me."

"Let's not argue," I started to feel like this was never going to end.

He smirked like he always does when he found he won, "afraid you'll lose?" I shook my head, but nothing wiped the smug look off his face. The limo was in front and we got in.

The ride was silent, but short. The driver opened the door and I felt Kaiba's warm hand grabbing mine. "Trying to get on Daddy's good side?" He pulled me out of the limo, told me to shut up, and proceeded to drag me into the coffee house. We looked around to see Daddy, like always, in a corner along with his cronies. As we got closer to the gentlemen, I could feel the grip of Kaiba's hand. Dominance was something that he wanted, but I don't think he'll achieve that tonight. I gave them all a curt nod and seated across from Daddy. Kaiba followed my suit. "Daddy." I greeted him.

"Onyx, how come it seems like I saw you only yesterday?" He greeted me in his own false way.

"Daddy, time is precious. Seto needs to get back to his company. So make it quick," I narrowed my eyes to make him know that I meant business. Kaiba squeezed my hand as if to agree with me. I decided that holding hands would be our secret communication line.

"How quick you are to change your loyalty."

"Isn't that what you wanted? So I can be chained to man and follow his orders?" I knew he would stop his crap when I said that.

And that's what happened, "Do you remember Adam?" Feelings that I tried to forget resurrected. Soon I felt a tear slide down my face. Kaiba squeezed my hand and brought me back from going into such poignant thoughts. "You're still dwelling on his death? I thought with a husband you would forget."

I looked at him, his eyes were emotionally dead too. I sighed, knowing that I couldn't reach him whatsoever. "Oh yeah, I forgot. He only died in my arms, Daddy! No big deal."

"Sarcasm has always been your comfort, hasn't it? But I'm not talking about Adam. I'm talking about the rift raft that Adam hung out with," he said as he took a sip of his coffee.

"You mean his family? Of course I remember them."

"Well after his death, his family… Has held a grudge against the Spider Mafia."

"I can't imagine why," I said again, sardonically . Earning me a slight chuckle from Kaiba.

"They stole the emerald, Lucy. It's not in the Graham estate." He let a silence build between us. I tried to place it, but I seriously didn't remember what he was talking about.

Then it hit me, I propped my chin on top of my hand and let out a small cynical chuckle. "Still dwelling in the past?" I mocked him. I couldn't help it, he needed a taste of his own medicine. "I see Mother still dwells in us both. Maybe next time you shouldn't be taunting me about the deceased. Or at least until you get over Mother's death." We stayed silent for a while.

I didn't mean to be such a bitch about Mother's death, but it was the only way that he'll shut up. And I know Mother would forgive me, especially after the stuff I do for Daddy. I know I wouldn't be doing half the things I do if she was still alive. "Enough of this, get to the point Don Lacey. As hard as it may seem to comprehend, me and my wife have lives." That was weird… He was not only defending himself, but defending me also. Looks like I don't belong to Daddy anymore…

"Seto," Daddy said. "You were always the no nonsense kind of guy. That's what stopped me from putting bullet in your head." I looked at the two while they exchanged chilly stares. Daddy then got his knife and turned his eyes towards me saying, "my offer still stands. If he treats you with disrespect, just give the word and he's gone."

Kaiba's hand squeezed mine. I could tell that it was demanding me to say something out of his defense. Also out of fear that his life might end.

"That's not necessary Daddy. He has shown nothing but kindness to me," I said while Kaiba lessened the grip on my hand in relief.

"Getting onto business. I want you and Kaiba to steal the Emerald heart. Which you know it's the only thing that's left of your mother," he said.

All my energy was focused on keeping calm and getting Kaiba out of this. "Why does Seto have to go? Are you lacking trust in my espionage?"

"You are both to go. Or you both shall die. Now you are to follow me. I have gifts for you," he said as he got up and went to his car. We got up and followed them, only to receive heavy cases.
