Louise Choi. That’s your name.Agatha Russo. So you are a Russo huh? Interesting.The two stare at each other, completely oblivious to the tension in their circle until Soralina butts in, breaking the trance.“What a pleasure meeting you Mr Choi, I haven’t seen you since I arrived.” Soralina says smoothly, stepping in front of Agatha and making Louise to give his attention to her. And by the looks of it, Louise doesn’t seem to be annoyed. If anything, he looks like he finally found the one he was looking for.“Really?” He says, feigning mock surprise. “That’s too bad then. Because ever since I arrived, all I could see, was you.”A blush creeps into Soralina’s cheeks, making her lok down at her feet in shyness as she giggles softly, making Louise offer his Cheshire cat grin again.Agatha all but wants to roll her eyes. However she doesn’t feeling more than thankful to Soralina for butting in and saving her from making flirtatious conversation. Sure, flirting is her thing, but at that v
With her foot tapping the floor as a means of distraction and the only thing keeping her company, Agatha stares around her, sighing for the nth time now. How many times has she watched waiters passing by her with trays of Champagne, some even offering to her but she had to decline, knowing that she had reached her limit, and is actually starting to feel a little tipsy.Just a little.Licking her lips, she watches as another waiter passes by her, before she clicks her tongue and makes up her mind."Fuck it." She mutters before grabbing one from the waiter and taking the smallest of sips.It won't hurt if I drink drop by drop...right?Foolish girl. Drop by drop or not, that doesn't change the quantity of alcohol in your system.And as she sips from her glass, she scans the whole crowd yet again, releasing another sigh.Wow. Never have I ever been a loner at a party. I own parties with my presence but look at me today. All because of Gustav's dirty little show."Fuck my luck." She mutter
Soralina steps out of the mansion in a sour mood. But sour as it may be, she does a pretty good job in masking it through a straight face, watching from the top of the stairs as the guests leave in their cars, the vehicles pulling out of the driveway one by one like train."When will I see you again?" Louise asks, but not to the one you are thinking, no. Not to Soralina, but to Agatha, the one with whom he had been engaged in a conversation throughout dinner.Agatha smiles, turning to her sister and letting her take the show from here. She has had her fill. "I don't know. But I'm sure Soralina here would love to pick a date."At the mention of her name, Soralina glances at Agatha with masked hatred, but when she spies Louise watching her, she puts on her fake sweet smile, turning to him as she intertwines her hands around his elbow. "You pick a date Louise! When do you wanna meet?"Agatha looks away with a smirk, knowing that this isn't what Louise was aiming for as he stutters uncomf
A knock sounds on her door, pulling Agatha from her trance. When she turns around, Romeo’s head peeps inside, looking at her. “Did you cause trouble again?”“I might have. Why?” Agatha replies, staring at Romeo as the man sighs looking at his feet before turning back to her. “That’s why. Boss whats you in his room. You better get going.”In his room?“In his room?” Agatha asks I out loud, finding it weird that he called her not in the office but in his room, that is just so…weird. “Yeah, now go.”Is he gonna kill me in his room?”“I-I’ll be there.” Agatha replies wearily, making Romeo close the door as she pulls her thoughts together.I said I would find a way to escape death today, but my mind is blank because I was busy thinking about the note. Should I just…go with it?“He won’t kill me for just calling him old, right?” Agatha asks herself, answering it at the same time. “No. he needs me for now. He won’t kill me just for something like that. Let’s keep that in mind.”So saying, A
“How did you like the Russo girls?”Jongil’s words have Louise blinking rapidly, completely confused with what his father meant by the question. “I-I don’t understand. Wh-““You did not understand or are you just too shocked to answer?” Jongil literally interrogates his son, making him trip over his own words. “No Ahboji I’m really confused. I don’t understand what you mean.”Jongil shrugs, looking directly at his son. “It is as the sentence goes. How did you like the Russo girls?”Okay. He is not going to elaborate at all. I just have to answer him.But it’s so awkward talking to your dad about such things!He’s never been this serious about any girls that I talked to. Why is this so important to him?“I uh…they-they were nice. I like talking to them-““Just nice?”Then what else do you want me to say? that they were hot, sexy and beautiful enough to grab everyone men’s attention present at the party?“Well…” Louise tries again, finding this interrogation terribly uncomfortable as he
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
