All Chapters of HEXA : MERCHANT OF DEMISE: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Mrtyu again took the staircase to reach the dining area ignoring the elevator. On her reach of every floor, she admired the beauty of the Hotel Blue Moon.“This building is based on Greek and Roman architecture.” She soon picked her notepad in her sliding bag to take her notes.She stopped by every floor and wondered, “How did they build this each floor to look like... I am so confused and hats off for the architect.”She told to herself and stopped by the portrait of the masked man in standing posture. “This portrait is perfectly painted.”The nostrils of Mrtyu smelt the flavours of food and she scooted her legs to the dining area to feed her stomach.*****After everyone had fed their stomach, feeding for the brain started. As per the instructions taken from their colleagues, Mrtyu stayed back in the queue and was almost wandering lonely.Aaron gathered every student to the living area to address

The second villa was the epitome of Victorian architecture. The entrance and interior were too stunning, with perfection visible in every corner. The portrait of Hexa De Morte, as in the first villa, welcomed everyone. Hexa is seated on a throne-like chair, with a magnificent king-like expression and his different porcelain mask over his face in this portrait. The three girls, Gnetol Raspberi, the redhead, Nadira WhiteShadow, the greenhead, and Acantha Neptunewings, the bluehead, crushed everyone and went to the front to gaze at the portrait. "Oh, this man is majestic," Gnetol gasped. Acantha, a blue-haired girl, agreed with her friend about the portrait, saying, "He looks appealing with the mask on. Hook!  Is there a portrait of him without the mask?" "I am worried," Host Hook said anxiously, he stopped as his eyeballs rotated from right to left and vice versa, "...there is none. Every villa has a painting of him wearing the mask. T

The mirror maze was perfectly built, one needed to touch the glass surface to identify between the wall and the door as it reflects everything. Everyone enjoyed the maze and was amused to find the door to exit which was soundproofed. So no one can hear others except the people who are with them. After Aaron exited through one door, Mrtyu was left all alone in six walled mirror maze, she took her mobile and found a no-signal icon. “Damn this place. No signal. They have installed the signal jammer or what?” She clicked on the camera icon to photograph her reflection. To pass the time while waiting for Aaron's return, she attempted different positions and made funny faces. When she was taking pictures, she saw a scarlet butterfly was twirling around her head and landing on her left shoulder which was reflected in the mirror in front of her. Mrtyu turned her head with a smiling face to look at the butterfly and no presence of butterfly, “Where did it go?”

The middle door leads them to nine walled mirror rooms; Aaron tried to stick to Mrtyu, who had been ignoring him lately. “Mrt., why are you avoiding me?”“Six walls, three doors; nine walls, and it mean four or five doors. We need to find the doors that lead us to exit.“ Mrtyu murmured while calculating in her mind.Aaron pulled her hands. “Answer me, Mrt?““What are you doing? Leave my hands.” Mrtyu tried to show her cold shoulder to him to cover up the fact that she had embraced him, which she felt embarrassed about.“I can’t accept your accusations that I never did,” Aaron said boldly.His behaviour annoyed Mrtyu and said, “Just leave it. You have been acting weird lately. (She exhaled with wide nostrils) I don’t want to recall anything, and I have just erased everything about last night and what happened right now. Everything! (She recalled how she had been terrified

“You are... Ron, you know it, I just confessed you thinking I am mind voicing. I never confessed ever in my life not even in my dreams. And I never got any confession from anyone.”Aaron stood still with a no-emotion face while Mrtyu tried to convince him, “You are not a choice, Ron, and you are not a diversion from my heartbreak for what happened between Seyfert and his date Dmitri... (She chuckled) Ron, I too can feel that.”“So?” he asked with arched eyebrows looking away from her.“So... so what? You still stole my first kiss, if you didn’t do that last night, you did it now. So I am not sparing you.”“Hey, did you say the first kiss?” Aaron got a spark in his mind.“Yes, it is. But I don’t think it’s your first too as you mentioned about roaming all countries without dating any girls.”Aaron stammered while Mrtyu took over her guard. “Mrt, it
