Flashbacks:One Year ago:Soralina pants with sweat rolling down her face and her arms and every single skin in her body, her hairs a matted, sticky mess as she continues to practise her punches with Lucian while he dodges them easily but not as easily as before.In time the girl has got quite good, almost coming to the level of her sister. A little more practise and they might both be the same."Good good, keep doing like this." Lucian says as he raises his arms to block the punches that keep coming at him.What feels like hours later do the duo finally come to a stop before slumping down on the floor with bottles of water in their hands, drinking greedily.After they are done, Lucian turns to look at the girl with a proud smile who has her head slumped down in tiredness. "You are doing pretty good these days. You are getting better.""Good." Soralina says in straight voice. "But not good enough."This has Lucian’s smile disappearing, making him sigh. "Take it slow Soralina. One step
As instructed by Soralina, the skinned body of Mr Monroe hung in the black market for three days. Well, it would have stayed longer if the corpse would have been with its skin and not just flesh which was rotting faster than a bird flying.And the stench was just awful that people had stopped coming to the black market. It was only after Soralina had made sure that their enemies received the message did she order to take the body down, asking it to be burnt and disposed away.And in the next few days, that was all the people could talk about. The feared Russo twins and their inhuman nature."She did what?" Louise asks in the breakfast table with his family as Bianca narrates the story. "What else? Skinned him, and then hung him in the Black market for all to see.""Soralina did that?" Louise asks yet again, making his father look up from the paper he is reading, studying his sons surprise.He must be having second thoughts about his plan now.Bianca nodes, unable to put a bite of her
Word about the skinned man never spread out around the country, let alone to the whole world. And that only wasn’t thanks to the great bribing skills of Dillas, but because of Cameron’s influence in the political world now. In fact, word never got out of Milan to be exact.Agatha brushed her hairs leisurely as Romeo explained her how the process had gone, while she stares at her reflection without much thought, completely dazed out.“…and Mayor Cameron said to be a little cautious for the time being, as the midea is still prying on the matter and are searching for loose ends. Agatha maybe- Agatha? Agatha are you even listening?”“Romeo?” Agatha says in a dazed voice, still staring at her reflection with her hair brush simply brushing through her hairs. “Do you know what day it is tomorrow?”Romeo frowns, looking away from Agatha as he tries to wreck his brain for the answer. “I…I don’t know. Is it something important?”Agatha’s hands stop whatever they are doing, and she glances at Ro
As Agatha makes her way out of the dining hall, she feels someone following her, but doesn’t bother to turn around or to stop. She keeps walking on, the hairs behind her neck standing up as she feels the person getting closer and closer. By the time she reaches her floor and is almost about to open the door to her room. She feels her sixth sense tingling, like as if there is some kind of threat.Without warning, she turns around, just in time to grab the stalkers out stretched hand and bend it, making the person yelp in pain while she doesn’t let go. Her face set in a fighting stance, she kicks the person with her knee on the back, making them twist uncomfortable before landing another kick with her foot on the back of the persons knees, making them loose balance and fall on their knees, kneeling.Agatha huffs, completely shocked to see the person try something so crazy and immature. “And here I thought you were getting better. I knew better than this when I was the age of eleven, and
Agatha stares at her reflection in the mirror with parted lips, her black full sleeve dress hugging her frame that has a long v neck. She plays with the anklet around her neck unconsciously, he head tilted sideways.It's my birthday today. Agatha thinks to herself, her long black nails almost scratching her neck which forces her to withdraw her hand from her amulet, picking up her bright red lipstick instead. I turned twenty today.And so did Soralina.Her hairs are pushed back, not even a single strand in the front and her eyeliner done ever so boldly, giving her the impression of a Queen. Behind her is a floor length black cloak that flutters with every movement, silver chain earrings in her ears but her neck is bare, save for the anklet she never takes off.There's a knock in the door and Romeo steps in, taking a look at the girl before saying, "The guests are starting to arrive. Boss wants you down to greet them."Having finished applying her lipstick, she places it down but doesn
The party is in full swing by the end of the night. The youngsters dance and cheer with the birthday girls, enjoying to their hearts content and getting wasted while the elders take it to a more democratic level, leaving the youngers to their own party and moving on the another party hall. And by the end of the night, it is not only the party that is in full swing, but the drunken guests as well.With the main birthday ceremony over and gifts already received, the youngsters now enjoy to the beats of the DJ, shaking their hips to the rhythm of the music with alcohol high in the air. The lights in this part of the house are dimmed, giving it more of the night club vibes.Agatha has left her cloak somewhere on a chair, dancing to her hearts content with the rest of the guest's, until she is noticed by someone.The guy slowly makes his way towards her, standing right behind her as he slowly dances to the music along with her, trying to sync their bodies together. And as Agatha gets intox
From where Gustav stands with a champagne glass in hand, he watches as Jongil and Bianca slow dance with the rest of the ladies and their husband, while the main host himself is left all alone with no company.Out of nowhere, Cameron shows up beside Gustav, noticing the man staring at the couple. Having been his friend for so long and Jongil’s best friend, he himself had no idea about the secret feud between the two families, which actually started their rivalry. Perhaps because he was Gustav’s friend that Jongil did not say him to keep a mole in the Cross Sword, and Gustav must have done the same for the same reason as well.“So it’s just you and me again, huh?” Cameron says with a chuckle, catching Gustav’s attention. “Just like in every other parties. But at least you have a family to keep you company.”Gustav all but wants to roll his eyes at the last statement. Yeah right. The sweetest family ever.“Mikalis?” Gustav calls his friend, his still trained on the duo. “Why did you nev
Soralina holds Louise’s hands as she pulls him up the stairs, up to her room, all the while the blush that reached all over her face never leaving, shyly looking down at the floor while Louise only smirks to himself, feeling like his plan is coming into motion.As the two reach the their floor, Soralina walks towards her door, making Louise turn his head around and stare at the door opposite hers, knowing to whom that room belongs to.I can’t believe I’m thinking this but…I miss her. I miss Agatha. Even after what she did to me.Then his eyes travels the length of Soralina’s body, his smirk disappearing.I wish…it was her, Agatha. I wish it was Agatha leading me on instead of her sister.What the fuck am I doing? This is so messed up!The sane part of Louise is saying that this is wrong, that whatever he is planning isn’t good. You don’t hook up with the sister of the girl you like. That is just…wrong.But the more evil and sinister part of Louise is reminding him of the duty to the D
