"I'm done here." I passed the papers on to the other worker, yawning as I finally ended my shift. Just the usual day, typing, making paperwork, and serving. I honestly preferred this than to be with The Regio, with their suffocating presence, threatening aura, how, before every dinner, I would sit with them at the table, feeling my appetite fade away, how whenever they were spending time with me, I would shy away, nervousness looming over me, especially those days when I can feel their stares on me. I also haven't seen Zacharias, Leo, and Toshiro for days now. The other Regio executives said that they just handled some business. "You may now leave, Ms. Miran." One of the guys with a mask said while I nodded in response. I still have no slightest idea what their identity is. Nonetheless, I follow their so-called 'policy'. "Where's Mask?" I asked before going out of the office. "He's just working with the others; Regio's paper works are now overloaded, so mask assisted the others."

Morning came in quickly, as if I had just slept seconds ago. I tried to get up, but the sharp jolt of pain in my brain and body instigated me to lie down again.I hissed in pain as I slowly sat up, groaning. My cheeks heat up as I remember what had just happened last night."Yeah, I'm fucked up." I facepalmed my face, and when I meant that, I meant it literally.Entering the bathroom, my mind went flying as I almost dozed off while brushing my teeth.Minutes passed, and I went out of my room, only to see Leo leaning against the wall beside my door, his arms crossed as his head lazily turned to me."Um, hi? Morning?" I greeted.Leo scoffed as he leaned his head on the wall, avoiding my gaze until he spoke. "Stop acting clueless. I've been calling you for a certain order for the whole night, and it's urgent, but you're nowhere to be found. One employee informed me you went to Lorenzo's office. What happened?" I almost choked on my words. "Huh? Oh, I'm sorry." I tried to act it off, she

I groggily woke up with pain in my head. As soon as I opened my eyes, the first thing that I saw was Lorenzo sitting at the side of the bed. "Good morning. How are you?" He asked as he pulled the table near the bed with a tray of breakfast. "What happened?" Was the first thing I asked, as the banging pain in my head won't stop, but I felt a damp towel on top of my forehead. "You fainted due to fatigue and exhaustion last night." Lorenzo told. I only nodded. "Yeah, didn't you eat lunch and dinner yesterday?" Lorenzo asked. "No," I answered while avoiding his gaze. I looked at the window that had the perfect view of the sunrise. "Why?" "I had to finish what your brother gave me." Lorenzo stayed silent, he looked around and sighed. "I scolded Leo last night after he came back." "Came back?" I turned my head back to Lorenzo. "Yeah, he's the one who brought you into your room." My eyes widened for a bit, but then I took them back and sat up from the bed, which startled Lorenzo.

Allura was sleeping soundly until she heard a defeating thunder that jolted her awake. Her heart raced from the sounds and just checked the time to distract herself.It's currently two o'clock in the morning. Feeling thirsty, I stood and strolled outside the room to find a kitchen.Walking down the hallway, I noticed that the place was dark. I entered the large kitchen and opened the fridge, finding a glass of water.A loud thud was heard just outside the kitchen, making me flinch.I went outside the kitchen, and I looked from right to left, no one appeared to be around."Oh hell no," I whispered.I quickly sprint off and brought the glass of water with me, planning to go back to the room, but since the whole place is dark, and lights were barely on, I can almost see nothing but pitch black, especially since this place is complex, with so many corridors.Because of my panics and quivering hands, water spilled on the floor from my glass of water. I looked down and what I saw made my e

"Come in."Toshiro said as we both entered his room. I looked around and saw that his room was more luxurious and spacious than the others, and just more miscellaneous things. His designs are mainly based on old money.I sat quietly on one of the couches while Toshiro went to his kitchen area and grabbed some beers."Do you drink?" He asked while closely checking the can of beer."I guess.""Catch," he said nonchalantly as he tossed me the bottle of beer.Luckily, I caught it."Oh? Quite surprising." He said as he put his hands in both of his pockets and grinned while I rolled my eyes."Wow, okay?" I huffed."C'mon, I'm just kidding." He grunted as he sat on the couch beside me. He leaned back and put his arm behind his head, effortlessly opening the beer can and gulping it straight."By the way, didn't they tell you already?" Toshiro asked."Tell what?""You'll go to Roppongi with us next week." He said."Oh, are you all tired of me, and sell my organs to the blackmar—""No, the fuck
