Sky watched as the girls disappeared from his view before taking out his phone and making a call. "Find Jack Thomson and bring him to me," his voice as cold as ice, different from when he was talking to both girls. That was all him; he can smile and laugh with you, but when you step on his bad side, then he will become merciless, especially because he is from that family.
As both girls left the Magnolia Corporation in haste, they reached the milk shop. It was already forty-five minutes past three, and the butler was already present, waiting for them. They parked right in front of him, got down from their bike, placed the helmet on the back of their bike, and walked towards the butler with a contented smile hanging on their lips. The butler bowed and smiled, “Welcome, Miss Vicky and Miss Aurora. Was the outing fruitful?” Vicky answered and started narrating what happened, except for the part where Aurora got into a little mishap. The butler nodded while listening attentively with great interest and sometimes smiling at her because of her exaggerated tone, while Aurora stood on the side listening with a smile dancing on her dainty lips. But when she checked the time, "It is getting late, I must leave." She bid farewell to her friend before hiring a taxi and left. As the taxi was moving, she leaned against the taxi’s door and let herself be submerged in her thoughts. As she stared aimlessly out the window, her eyes reflected unhidden sadness, a few hairs stuck to her forehead, and a lone tear rolled down her cheek. Even if she is surrounded by someone like Vicky, that doesn’t erase the loneliness she feels by being the outcast in her family. A few minutes later, she looked out the window and saw that she wasn’t far from the house. She decided to pay the driver and walk home, hoping that the gentle breeze would help her put things in order in her head. As she walked down the street, it was not even 6 pm yet, but the street was already empty; almost no one was seen walking down the street. While taking a stroll and kicking the pebbles, she felt her scalp tingle, which made her believe that she was being followed. However, she could not determine how many of them were there, so she entered a dimly lit alley. She went deeper into the alley only to meet a dead end. The girl stood in the center of the dimly lit alley, her back against a brick wall. Three men approached her, their lewd gaze running across her body. "Who would go first?" asked the man on the left, eyeing her with excitement. The man in the middle responded with a chuckle, "Of course, it's me. What a question," he said righteously, which earned him a whine from the man on the right, "But when you're the first, you make it last for long, and we have to wait." The first man answered, his eyes not leaving the girl in front of him, "Next time, but for now, I'll be first." This discussion made Aurora roll her eyes in annoyance. (Of all days, it had to be today.) She sighed to herself and then spoke, her voice filled with irritation. “Why are you talking as if I’m not present?” Her voice attracted their attention, and the first one approached slowly while saying, “Don’t worry, babe. I will be the first to take care of you.” He continued to walk slowly, and she snickered, “And then why don’t the three of you come together?” This earned a broad grin, and he turned towards his friends and shouted, “Hey, you two, come and join!” And so they joined. Then the man with whom she was discussing talked, “Then let me have a sweet taste of you lady,” and he pounced on her. Their intentions are clear. She tenses, her eyes scanning her surroundings as she calculates her next move. With a swift, calculated motion, she sidesteps the first man's lunge, using his momentum against him as she sends him crashing into a nearby dumpster. As the second man charges toward her, she ducks under his swing and delivers a series of quick, precise strikes to his midsection, leaving him winded and struggling to regain his composure. Meanwhile, the third man hesitates, momentarily taken aback by her skill and determination. The girl seizes the opportunity, using her surroundings to her advantage. She kicks a loose crate towards the third man, and he falls on the floor. Seeing that she was done with them, she wiped off her hands. She looked at the men on the floor moaning with pain. She stood there merely looking at them as if they were bugs, but nothing can mask the murderous intent in her eyes that was cold and sinister, without a trace of pity nor warmth. What scared them the most was the fact of bloodlust oozing away from her; it was as if they were in front of an executioner. She merely stood there doing nothing and just smiled at them, but the men lying on the floor felt like they would be better drenched with hot water than having to suffer in her hands. She retracted her murderous intent but still smiled , feeling quite satisfied with what she did. With that, she turned to leave, and this made the men lying on the floor breathe a sigh of relief, but she suddenly stopped. And she walked back to them while murmuring, “It will be troublesome if I let you all like that, right?” They stared at her as she came back to them; even breathing felt difficult for them, and the place where they felt pain hurt again. She approached the nearest man, lifted her leg, and it came down crashing heavily against the man’s 'baby producer.' The man let out a painful shrill as he clutched his genitals, letting out some painful sobs. He looked at her as she looked at her second victim, who started retreating while begging for his pride. He started begging for him to be spared, but she didn’t even care, and so she repeated the action for the other two, and as always, they all cried. She then yawned and eyed them as if they were disgusting bugs. "Now you feel the pain. I'm sure your previous victims must have begged you to spare them like you all did now, but you didn't. So why must I?" She smiled, and her voice was sunny as if she was discussing the latest trend. (And it would be troublesome if I have to encounter them again. At least they won't be able to use that thing of theirs again.) But before leaving, she turned towards them and said with a smile, "Don't forget to use weapons the next time we meet." She winked at them and left, but the men behind just shivered. "Don't talk about next time. Even if we want, we can't," that was their thought.As Aurora arrived home, she rushed directly into her bedroom and took off her black garments and underwear. She stepped into the bathroom to wash away the filth she accumulated during the day. The cold water gliding down her body felt so refreshing that she let out a comfortable sigh. She looked straight ahead as her mind drifted back to what happened earlier. She thought about those three men from earlier and let out a chuckle before her eyes darkened. (To think that I almost killed them, they must be lucky) she mused. She stepped out of the bathroom, already dressed, with a towel hanging on her head when her aunt entered her room. She looked at her aunt with an inquisitive look as it was the first time she ever entered her room. She would always send Nana if she had something to say, but her aunt merely glanced around in disgust before speaking, her voice as cold as usual. "Meet me in the parlor when you're done," she didn't even look at the girl in question before turning around
She opened the message only to see, "You must have received the mission already." She answered with a yes and dropped her phone back on the bed. But a few minutes later, her phone made another sound, and she picked it up only to see that it was another message from her friend: "When will you achieve the mission?" She pondered over the question before typing back, "In three days from now." After responding, she reduced all the volume on her phone and lay back on the bed, staring aimlessly at the ceiling until she fell asleep. When she woke up the next morning, the sun was already high up in the sky. She freshened up and went to the kitchen, only to see a family of three having breakfast together. "This will be a very long and torturous breakfast if I join them." She was about to turn back and leave when her eyes met those of her aunt. Her aunt smiled and warmly called her over"Join us for breakfast," she said, hearing it she had chills running down her spine. Her aunt must really be l
At first, she did ask me if I wanted to back out, but I refused because the fact of having a client asking for my services felt more pleasant, like someone needed me even if I was hiding behind another identity. Until she refrained from asking, but in the organization, there was no head. Since Vicky was the one to gather information about our different missions, she was like a switch connected to various computers. The slight difference is that the other computers didn’t know the identity of their colleagues. In the organization, she is known as ‘Shadow’. No one knew about her identity in the organization, but since she was the one to bring me into the group, I know about her. The only information she made me know was that I was the youngest.The organization itself was non-affiliated with any other groups or mafias, so even mafias can contact us for a job if they wish not to be suspected. The organization only has one rule, and that is no one is supposed to know the other's identity
She took the vacuum cleaner from behind the stairs and cleaned the house from top to bottom without entering the bedroom, and then mopped the floor. The house is big to clean for just one person; obviously, it would take a few hours to completely clean the house. It was better to avoid any scenes because when she remembered being seventeen, she was sitting in her room when her aunt barged in, claiming that I stole nana’s favorite jewel. I denied that I only entered her room to clean, but she was already rummaging around my shabby things until she pulled out a necklace. It was really eye-catching. When I tried to explain further, my aunt gave me a sound slap that made me think I was seeing stars. She asked nana to bring a belt, and after a while, my cousin was back with a black leather belt and handed it to my aunt. Seeing it, my body involuntarily shivered. She waved the belt in front of me, saying, “I already warned you to enjoy what you have been given but do not covet more than t
The days passed by more quickly, and today was Friday, the famous day of the blind date. The past few days were more hectic because I had to be rushed from right to left by Nana to do my hair and arrange my nails. Even if I had to impress on the famous blind date, they didn’t want to use money unnecessarily in bringing me to beauty salons. Instead, I had my hair and nails done by someone who is used to helping Nana when she is supposed to attend balls or ceremonies accompanied by her mother. After I was done with the preliminary steps to make a breathtaking creature, I now had to go and meet Nana to see which dress would go in accordance with all the efforts made on my hair, especially.She walked towards Nana's room and knocked. When she heard a sound inside, she immediately knew that her cousin was there. She was more certain when her cousin opened the door with a beauty mask on her face. Her cousin first took her sweet time to look at Aurora from top to bottom before ste
Later, she carefully dried her silky black hair and took a comb to meticulously brush it. She tied it in a half-high ponytail because she considered the efforts placed before were just to treat it, making it feel more like a hair treatment rather than styling it. She then took a hairpin and placed it on the band holding her hair in place. She left her room and descended down the stairs. As she took the last step of the stairs, she came across her uncle, who almost knocked her if not for her fast reaction. He stared at her for a few minutes from head to toe without blinking until his usual cold eyes showed emotions of anger and disgust. He grabbed her by her collar and yanked her towards him until they were at eye level. He asked her, "Why aren’t you wearing a presentable dress and accessories, or is your goal to sully our family?".She looked at him with a perplexed look before glancing to the side. "I went to meet Nana to borrow a dress, but she refused," her unc
The weather in March was not that good at that particular moment. A twenty-year-old girl was seen sitting by the window looking at rain flowing down. Her fifteen-meter room had a lit bulb that barely burned to illuminate the room. Her white pale hands, with calluses from doing home chores, were holding a needle and a dress, trying to mend her already worn-out dress. Her room was just barely managed with only a chair, a bed, and a single cupboard.She was still mending her clothes when the door to her room banged open, and a brown-haired girl was standing at the door. The girl’s eyes were filled with disdain as she looked all over the room before her eyes landed on the girl sitting near the windows. She closed her nose as if the room was smelling badly. "Aren’t you ready yet, or do you want to make Mom and I wait?" Her voice was low but threatening, making the girl look up. The bright blue eyes made the girl standing at the door clench her fist."No sister, I was just mending the cloth
As they watched their aunt leave, Nana turned towards Aurora. Her gentle demeanor, which she always portrayed in front of her mother, vanished in a second, bringing now her haughty behavior. She looked at Aurora from head to toe, still feeling angry at the fact that the girl was more beautiful than her. She couldn't even take her eyes away from her. She shook her head and glared at the girl, who was of the same height as her. "Go and get me a glass of champagne," she said. Coincidentally, a server was passing by, so Aurora walked towards him, took a glass from him, and gave it directly to Nana. Nana took the glass with her left hand and folded her right hand over her chest, letting the hand holding the glass rest on it. She looked around the room until her eyes lit up. “Bryan!” she lifted her right hand to wave at the person. Hearing the name, Aurora involuntarily stiffened, her hands clenched at her sides before involuntarily releasing them. Since Nana didn’t get the reaction of
