UPON entering the room of Kyro, I sensed a chill down my spine that made me hesitate if I really want to open the door knob. What could await me that troubles me this much? What is this great deal of pressure?
"Aren't you gonna opening it, Ria?'
"O-Oh! Right, yeah. I'll open it." I heaved a deep breath and opened the door once and for all. Eh? It seems normal. Was I too paranoid or something?
"Let's check the room for signs of abnormalities." He said and looked around.
"What are your cousin's hobbies?" He asks while checking the vase. "As far as I know, he has a knack for reading and ciphers. Since he can't leave his room as much as he wants to, this is all that is required of him." I explained, "H
WHATthe Butler did was unforgivable. He used his power as the Butler over the people working for the Vasquez family house's villa, made contact with a sketchy supplier,andallowed his hatred for non-Valler/Vasquez blood descendants to silently kill my cousin. Just how shameless can be he! I was so mad because of what he did! It makes my blood boil and I wanted to wring his neck so badly! But I couldn't. Because if I did, then that would make me the same as him. What drives me to be different from him is the fact that my blood runs on serving justice, retribution and abiding by the law. Anyway, now that I've told my Brother via phone call, I should be awaiting his action any hour by now. I do all this to punish the wicked and defend the innocent. I'm different from the likes of them. "Hey Ria, do you think that someone will bail the Butler out of prison later?" Caspian asked. "Hm.. I don't think so
I JUSTremembered the underground tunnel or passage or room under the school that Caspian and I discovered during the Cultural Sports Festival. I want to explore and infiltrate it really badly, but Caspian said that we can't barge in since we have no clue on what it is exactly. Well, he does have a point, but I'm just really curious. I kept staring outside the window, longing for its secrets.And remember when I said that Caspian will "betray" me for my plan? Well, I have decided to postpone it for a while since I have now the advantage of knowing the plot of the story in my grasps."Hey, did you hear? Do you think the rumor is true?""Oh! That the Kingstone family is choosing Aurora's fiancé. I heard the two candidates are Kane Sullivan and Jace Zander.""Right! They also say that the Kingstone family prefers Jace better than Kane. Too bad for Kane, he has a huge crush on Aurora right?"
"ADHARIA, I heard from Inspector Lestrade that you solved quite a case yesterday. An arson case. Good work," Brother complimented me while he was sipping his favorite brewed coffee.Jeez, my Brother's face could solve all world problems! Simp."It was't worthy of your approval Brother, it was merely a petty case." I cut a piece of steak on my plate.I glanced at my aunt, my cousin and Caspian who were sitting around the table. None of them dared to utter a word. They just ate or maybe not to avoid contact with the handsome demon king."Still, you were the only individual to accomplish as such. Your cessation left an imprint on Inspector Lestrade who highly acknowledges anyone. You live up to your Valler name, that is commendable." He replied when the meatball Ecklis was cutting jumped out of his plate and into my Brother's coffee.Oh snap.WORLD WAR III IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER!The entire r
ONEof my many strengths is competing. I always love a good challenge and a good rivalry heats things up and it hypes me up. Among all my adversaries in such sport, only Cryx can make me feel like life and death is really after me.Don't get the idea wrong about what he can make mefeel, it's obviously the feeling in racing.The others have arrived as well and it looks like it's almost time for the race. I must get ready. "Hey Cryx, you still have my leather jacket here?" I asked, "Yeah. I had it cleaned so it must be in the lounge, go get it," he said while polishing his helmet."'Kay! Thanks," I headed to the lounge and looked for my leather jacket.I found my jacket in the cabinet next to his desk. I put it on and looked at myself in the mirror.Lookin' good girl!Instantaneously, a certain book caught my interest in Cryx's desk. My heart fluttered and my eyes twinkled, I gra
ACCORDINGto the original plot of the novel, if I remember it correctly, and I still do, the Empress who was furious that the assassin she hired has fallen in love with the Crown Prince, she used her son, the 2nd Prince to approach the young lady (assassin) and find out more about her. She wanted her darkest secrets, something she could use to shackler her once again. But despite all her efforts, not only did her son fall in love with her, but Claire--despite having the same name as my enemy--was completely freed from her shackles and lived by her own rules. The Crown Prince and Claire overcame all the obstacles and lived happily ever after.But before everything else, there was a part in the novel where the 2nd Prince had the idea to kidnap the heroine and elope with her. But because he loved her genuinely as much as the Crown Prince does, he didn't go on with it and giving all hope, he followed his Mother until the end. His love became his own shackle,
"I-IONE.." I stumbled at my feet and fell to the ground helplessly. My whole world was spinning around and I couldn't process everything all at once. All I could do was break down into tears and whimpered carelessly, "I-Ione.. W-Why.. Why her? No, t-this can't be!" I stuttered and hurried over to her side. "Ria, we should get her away here as soon as possible," Caspian spoke. I just ignored his words and bawled my eyes out. My tears just kept pouring. I'm so angry! It hurts me to see her like that, she endured so much just for me. I.. I really hate it when people take the fall for me. I can't stand it! I'm so mad! It feels like my heart is being torn to shreds, it's piercing me! "Ione, Ione! W-Why must it be you?" I cried again and muttered. "Oh crap! Hari! There are some guys outside! We gotta bail! Now!" Josh yelled suddenly and jumped out of surprise. "Caspian, carry Ione and get her out of here!" I instructed
Ione Worth's POV(Three hours before the showdown between Claire and Adharia) W-WHAT'Sgoing on? Where am I? Who are these people? Why is it so dark? Why am I tied up? My mind went blank after seeing a familiar presence sitting in a lavish seat in front of me. It was dark and all I can see was a silhoutte, but that sihoutte gave me a familiar vibe on who the person was. And it became all clear to me when the person spoke. "Ione Worth, how are you?" A cold voice spoke. "C-Claire.." I muttered in shock. It was Claire Rose Rohas, my classmate and the person I avoid the most. Why is she doing this to me? Did I do something wrong? How could she be so cruel! "That's right, Worth. I'm glad you recognize me, tee-hee," she giggled. She's a psycho. "W-Why are you doing this to me? Let me go!" I persisted when she suddenly slapped my cheek
"MY RIA!""NAVIER, YOU IDIOT!""H-HARI, YOU OKAY NOW?!"Uh.. Is all of that shouting really necessary? I'm afraid the entire hospital will get disturbed because of you three. "Guys, chill.." I rolled my eyes. Well, I guess I'm thankful that they care for me so much."Uhm.. Okay?" I said."Don't 'Uhm.. Okay me'! You were shot Ria, it could have been in the abdomen or the head or your heart! My god, I hate drugs!" Cryx exclaimed sarcastically.Nani?! How did even drugs get in our topic?"Uhm.. So what happened? Before.. I passed out," I asked them curiously."Arden called the Police and the Ambulance. The Police arrested Claire's men but she was long gone when they arrived, she fled from the scene and we couldn't chase after her since you were more important. Her men also died the moment the Police were arresting them, I think there was poison in their tooth and they bit it to silence the
