It was year 2009 when the 12 executives of the Volari Company held an important meeting inside their HQ in Milan. The Volari Company was one of the wealthiest companies in Italy, they were the most advanced company in whole europe in the field of medicine.The 12 executives were looking at the CEO and founder of the Volari Company, Leonardo Volari.
The now 57 years old man sat relaxed at the head of the long table, smiling faintly.
His body was robust and he excluded a natural aura of authority. His raven black hair that had a few grey strands, was nicely combed back and his well maintained full beard gave him an extra touch of manliness.
His personal a.s.sistent began speaking, earning the attention of the others inside the room.
"We have received a very important report from Head Professor Volari, she confirmed that the latest research results of "Project New Life" have been very promising..."
Those were good news but everyone couldn"t help and tense up when the name of their taboo research "Project New Life" was mentioned.

Leonardo Volari noticed the tense mood of the others and spoke slowly with power, "Don"t forget why we agreed to the project in the first place, the key to healing all illness in the world is in our hands. The money we will make when "Project New Life" is realized will change the world and our Volari Company will become the first and only choice for all the ill people in the world."
The executives looked at each other, greed, hope, ambition and hunger for power were visible in their eyes.
Leonardo smiled faintly while observing them, "Humans are still humans from the beginning to the end..."
The meeting went on for another hour.
They were discussing financial matters when the door was suddenly violently kicked open.
A group of armed soldiers stormed the meeting room, starting to shoot at the shocked executives.
Their a.s.sault rifles were equipped with silencers and they quickly killed the executives inside the room, only leaving Leonardo Valori alive.
Everything happened too fast, Leonardo"s thoughts were chaotic. He took a deep breath and his eyes became cold, the fact that he was the only one left alive made him jump to some conclusions.
"Is it the government? But why now? Did they find it out?"
One of the armed soldiers spoke into his mic, "Building and target secured, it"s safe now Professor!"
The rifles were all pointing at Leonardo, "Don"t do anything funny, Mister Volari." said another of the attackers.
Leonardo didn"t hear him, he was processing the words spoken by the first soldier.
"Professor? What is going on?"
Leonardo heard a few minutes later steps, those weren"t normal steps...he recognized that those steps could only be produced by high heels. He was too confused to think clearly.
His cold eyes widened to the extreme when he saw the person enter the b.l.o.o.d.y meeting room.
"YOU?!" Shouted Leonardo in disbelief.
The person smiled, "h.e.l.lo, father." Answered the woman softly.
Leonardo couldn"t believe it, veins popped out on his forehead and he punched the table made of gla.s.s.
"WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS? ANSWER ME, AMELIA!!!" Roared Leonardo like mad beast.
One of the soldiers quickly hit Leonardo on his forehead with the backside of his rifle.
Leonardo fell back on his seat with blood leaking out from the fresh wound on his forehead.
The woman lifted her hand, "It"s okay, let him."
"Yes, Professor!" Answered the soldier as he took a step back.
"It"s exactly what it looks like, father, I"m taking over the company." Spoke Amelia.
Leonardo couldn"t tell what kind of expression she was making, her eyes were hidden behind sungla.s.ses.
His anger cooled down after thinking about the situation he was in, "These soldiers are..."
Amelia smiled happily before replying, "They are the elite squad of veterans you hired to protect our secret project."
Leonardo stayed silent, he was wondering how on earth his daughter made them loyal to her, he paid them a hefty sum for their service and discretion.
Amelia took out a revolver from her white medical smock, pointing it at Leonardo.
Leonardo"s eyes widened, "You really want to kill your own father?"
Amelia shook her head before slowly taking off her sungla.s.ses.
Leonardo was shocked, "Your eyes, what on earth happened to you?"
Amelia had in the past the same light green eye color like her father but the eyes she was looking at him were red, almost shining.
"The future, father. That"s what happened."
Leonardo stared stupefied at his own daughter with his mouth wide agape.
An idea flashed through his mind, "You...you tested it on yourself..."
"Yes, I did. You have ambitions and the path you wanted to take isn"t wrong but...humanity isn"t worth our salvation. I will take another path and cleanse earth so we can have a future." Spoke Amelia softly with conviction.
Leonardo thought he heard wrong.
"YOU..."
Amelia interrupted his outburst with a shot that barely missed him.
"The initial named "Project New Life" will be changed into "Project Doomsday Paradise", I will personally lead humanity to a new future that won"t follow our current state of destroying our planet. Goodbye father."
Amelia shot a second time...
Her red eyes stared emotionless at the lifeless body of her father.
One of the soldiers took off his sungla.s.s, revealing the same red eyes like Amelia.
"Don"t worry Professor, we will clean everything up and prepare the takeover."
Amelia nodded slowly before turning around, never looking back.
