Lights flashed in their utmost shine as music on full blast could be heard from all corners of the place. People could be heard chattering over the volume or dancing their night away. But on a specific occasion, a young man known as Antony Valencia, a wealthy, young heir who seemed to be in his early 20s swayed from left to right, unable to keep balance. It led to a moment where he was about to collapse after stepping on his own feet if it weren’t for the aid of his longtime friend, Kenneth.          “Damn, why’d you have to drink so much?” A sigh left Kenneth’s lips as he placed an arm under Antony’s arm and over his shoulder, supporting his weight to make sure he doesn’t collapse with face first on the ground.      It was one of those typical nights where they would hang out around clubs and bars t

               Meanwhile, on the other side of the facility. Cristopher ran over to a certain table near the cafeteria. He smiled upon seeing the person he was looking for, the person he always hangs out with whenever he is free from missions and tasks assigned to him. Being a trained assassin of the association called ‘Blood in Roses” gave him very little time for himself. Although he knew, the best thing he ever experienced in the said association was to have an awesome partner alongside him.            “Hey, Crissy!” he shouted over the sea of people chattering in the area, slipping through busy bodies and finally arrived over at a table. Sitting across another woman who seemed to be only in her early 20s. she raised an eyebrow over at Cristopher as she bit onto the sandwich that she was currently eating; hence, it was lunch

              “You—What?!” Cristopher yelled in disbelief; his brows furrowed in confusion.           It was an hour later after Crystal was excused from her superior, it didn’t take too long before she managed to find her partner, Cristopher Dencio, on her way in getting the new file. Yet after explaining the whole situation and her decision to partake in the task, she wondered why her partner is so riled up with the fact that she chose to partake in the task.            Since, aren’t they already used to dangerous tasks and missions?            “How—why? Didn’t I tell you to stay away from the social circle?!” he shouted, earning a few glances from the people around them in a series of whispering chatters. “It’s d

                   “The Rosette’ family runs an architectural chain of companies that focuses on market value and builds establishments for finance-based companies which they have a good relationship of. Carmilla is the elder young missy wherein she has a younger sister named Clarise, it is suspected that they don’t have a good relationship with each other.” he read out loud, glancing over if his companion has heard and understood everything that he just said, in which she did.            She raised a brow. “Sibling rivalry already? It’s nothing new, almost all rich nobles tend to compete with each other among siblings for rights of wealth and power.” she explained, looking over at her nails as if they are far more worth paying attention to than anything else. “As long as she doesn’t cross my line, she

               “I’m back, did you miss me, sister?” Crystal placed her hands on her hips upon entering a room where she is sure that her sweet little sister was.            The younger female gripped on her pen as she seemed to be busy writing, or rather, sketching some designs since she’s from a fashion-oriented family?               “Actually, I would really love it if you would learn how to knock before barging in like some kind of barbarian. Has mother taught you nothing? Or is it that you’re too arrogant for being chosen to care about common basic etiquette?” she questioned, clicking her tongue in annoyance.            Crystal didn’t seem to care as she walked towards her.
