CHAPTER FIVE
LUCKY.
That's how everyone describes her. At some point, she highly agrees, just like now. She's indeed a lucky one.
She just received an invitation to meet the head of Regal Vixens and Serpents organization or also known as RVS. It is a society incorporated organization in which high profiled bachelors and bachelorettes are exclusively entrants. Regal VS is a most sought after exclusive organization in the world.
Unlike any other organization out there who's not legal, there are the total opposites. Though, they are known and legal, the leaders of the said organization remained unknown.
It's one of the rules.
“A love potion.” Maman said to her that she thought she just misheard her.
Waverly was expecting for some gun power, advanced medicines, exotic drugs, or tech power after hearing the word, “deadly chemical.”
But she was wrong, the request is almost impossible. There's no such thing as a love potion.
She cleared her throat. “A love potion, Maman? Did I hear you right?”
“Yes. I need a love potion, Miss Knight.” Maman replied and leaned on her chair as she crossed her legs, “I loved your profile when I reviewed it when you were just applying in the organization and I guess you are informed about the first test of being a Serpent Vixen.”
She nodded her head in response, “I was well-informed, Maman.”
“Well then, you are not yet an official member of RVS but if you passed this test, who knows? Maybe you won't be just a member, but a viscountess.”
Waverly gasped. “A what, Maman?”
“A viscountess, Miss Knight. If you are familiar with the hierarchy of RVS, I, the highest ruler, is called the Empress. The other rulers, my second hand, are called kings and queens. The future consorts of kings and queens will be called, the grand dukes and grand duchesses.” she clasped her hands before continuing, “The prince and princesses are the future children. Marquess and Marchioness are the heads of family's supporting the RVS. Count, Countess, Viscount, and Viscountess are the people who have a big contribution to us. Knights and Dames are the butlers.” Maman explained proudly at her.
Waverly knew that the organization is big, but she never imagined that it was this huge.
“Do you personally meet with every member of RVS?”
“Of course not, Miss Knight. But if I saw a potential in the applicant just like you, then, I, personally, call them for an invitation like this. If I didn't see any special potential from them, the Counts and Countess are people they will meet for the test.” Maman calmly said.
Joining this organization really needs to have guts.
Waverly smiled. “So, let's continue with the love potion, Maman. I'll make it, but I want to know why, from all the chemicals you needed, it has to be a love chemical?” she asked.
“Humans, they are weak when it comes to love and affection. They are easy to manipulate and conquer when they are too overwhelmed with emotions. I guess, you are familiar with the saying, “Even the smartest person is dumb when it comes to love.” And that's what I wanted.”
“Are you sure about this, Maman?”
“I am, Miss Knight. Show me what you got. It takes guts to be an official SV, sweetie.” Maman replied and winked at her.
“I will do my best, Maman.” she replied, “Oh, by the way, Maman… I will give the potion and antidote at the same time.”
They talked and discussed things about RVS and her project, then what will happen if she passed the test for more hours that they lost track of the time.
“Thank you for tonight, Miss Knight. See you in two months time.” Maman bid her goodbye before leaving the restaurant.
Waverly looked at her wristwatch, Nine o'clock.
She sighed and started playing with her fingers. Maybe, I should order a wine. I need to think thoroughly for this mission impossible of mine, she thought.
Waverly called the waiter and ordered two bottles of wine. She had a high tolerance in alcohol, so it will be fine.
A love potion… isn't it too much? It was like she requested that because I do witchcraft.
Her phone rang, she immediately answered it. “What do you want?” she snapped.
“Your service, Alaia.” the baritone voice replied from the other line. His voice was too stiff and cold.
She raised her eyebrows as if the man is in front of her, “I have many complicated projects as of now, E. Can we do yours some other time?” she gritted her teeth in annoyance.
“Fine.” the man replied and ended the call.
Waverly messed her hair. I'm great at chemicals, but why do they have to request such chemicals? What do they think of me, a witch?
She shook her head.
You got this!
Waverly played with the wine glass in her hand. If she is able to make the love potion, how would she test it? To whom? And how would she know that it totally worked?
Should I hire someone?
She took her phone and called someone. Someone she knew that will help her with anything.
“Hello, Waverly!” the woman beamed.
She smiled hearing her voice, no doubt. This person will help her.
“Hey, Butter! Can you help me with something?” she asked lovingly.
Butter blew a loud breath. “What is it first?”
“Be my muse.”
“Muse? For what?”
Waverly pursed her lips. “I'm going to make a love potion, I need someone to take it when I finished, for testing.” she said in a trailing voice.
Butter chuckled from the other line. “Really? A love potion? What are you, a witch?” she replied ridiculously.
“I know it sounds ridiculous, Butter, but it was a request and I wanted to know if I can really make something rare.”
“I believed in seducing, Waverly. But, seriously? That potion, that's too ideal and impossible.” Butter said frustrated.
“I know that's why I want to know. This is also a challenge for me and my skills, you know?”
“Fine! Just call me again when you finally need me, bye Waverly! I have an appointment.” Butter replied, making her smile.
“Bye.” and she ended the call.
Now, all I have to do is think about the chemicals and tools that I'll use to make this potion happen.
CHAPTER SIX“Deshawn.” A voice called him in a distance.He turned his head to see the person who called him, and he saw his best friend, Wave.“Hey.” He greeted and tapped Wave's shoulder.“What are you thinking, D?” Wave asked.Deshawn heaved a deep breath. “Things happened years ago.” he answered.“Stop thinking about those things, D. That person is a narcissistic, they made you believe that no one can accept you and love you because of what they did to you. It's their fault, D. Never yours. Always remember that.” Wave said while clenching his jaw.Every so often, Wave regrets leaving Deshawn alone in the Philippines a few years back. But he knew that he can't turn back time now, so he just decided to be there for his friend who he
CHAPTER SEVENA love potion, Can I really make it happen? Waverly had been asking herself that for a week now.“Hermanita!” sister, Wave, shouted from afar.“What do you want!?” she shouted back.Wave smirked at her. “Can we talk? I need your help with something, actually.”Knowing her big brother, she immediately agreed. Waverly knew how rare it is for her brother to ask for her help that at some point, she sometimes wanted to throw a party whenever Wave asked for her assistance.“So, what's up?”Wave sighed and looked into her eyes. He looks determined. “I talked to mama about the upcoming celebration in the kingdom…” he said in a trailing voice. He bit his lower lip, “I declined her invitation.”
CHAPTER EIGHT“Dwayne, Reysell… I'll see you both soon. I will just take a one-week break from our project and fly to Gothame to meet someone and to research about my other ongoing project.”Waverly wrote on a sticky note and stick it on the front door of their laboratory, so they would notice it.After the talk with witch doctor and her butler last night, she decided to go to Gothame, the biggest country in the world.It was her and the late Queen Aretha's sanctuary place. She thought that maybe she needs to refresh her mind before proceeding to make her impossible chemical.Aside from taking notes about the ingredients of the potion, she also started researching about the antidote that comes up with it.The loud ringing of her phone startled her. Who would call me this early?
CHAPTER NINEIt's the fourteenth day of Waverly's stay in Gothame. She had to prolong her stay because of an important matter. After meeting Faina, they planned things about the war going on, Moravia.Dwayne and Reysell took care of their projects, and she's impressed. They were able to find something new about the man's grief.The two are already rushing her to come back home because they were being summoned by the president. He wanted to talk about the counterpart of their project: the woman's grief.Waverly's phone vibrated. She clicked Dwayne's message.Dwayney:When will you go home?She chuckled at his message. It's his forty-fourth message to her, and all of them are the same question.Waverly:Soon, Dwayney. Why?Dwayney:What do you mean? Rey already told you, rig
CHAPTER TENChallenge.The first time she successfully made a chemical, it was her grandfather's birthday.Everyone was so happy and proud of her, especially her father, who's a chemist. She's only nine at that time, very young.Since then, she always stayed by her father's side and side by side, they invented chemicals that is now known in the world and still leading the list.“How was it?” Dwayne and Rey asked. They looked at her with excitement.The glint of happiness on their faces are very hard to missed. “What do you think?” she asked.She raised a bottle that she had been working on for the past two months. No one physically saw her in those months because she locked herself in her personal laboratory.For her to be able to finished it.&
CHAPTER 11On her way to meet Dwayne, Waverly suddenly received a call from her older brother.“Where are you?” Wave asked on the other line.Waverly maneuvered the car into the side of the road before answering him. “Going back to the office, I'm at Fairview now. I was supposed to meet Butter, but she cancelled at the last minute. Why?”“Driving?”“Yep, but I pulled over. Why did you call?”“Can you go here in my office first? I would like you to meet someone.” Wave said hesitantly.She frowned at her brother's tone. “Is it finally a girlfriend? You sounded a little nervous.” she chuckled, teasing him.“Haha, very funny. It's not a girlfriend, but it's someone important.”Waverly checked the time. It
CHAPTER TWELVEWaverly is panicking and couldn't help but to walked pacing back and forth in front of Deshawn, who's smiling widely at her.She glared at her brother, who's now doing everything he can to avoid her eyes.“What were you thinking!?” she asked angrily.Wave sighed. “I'm sorry, I thought it was your tea since it was in shaped bottle like how you always keep it.” he explained sheepishly.She shut her eyes distressed. How can I fix this now?Waverly turned to Deshawn and held his face, so she can look into his eyes. “How do you feel right now?” she asked earnestly.“Well, I feel like singing your name.” Deshawn replied, still smiling widely.“Sing my what now?” she asked, frowning.“Your name, Waverly~”
STARTLONG, DELICATE fingers caressed the stem of a wineglass, trailing upward to catch the small beads of the condensation on the glass. A pair of violet eyes stared at her from across the table. The owner of that eyes is surely intimidating. She knew what the woman's doing."Waverly Alaia Knight, that's your full name, right?" the woman started tapping her perfectly manicured nails on the table, leaning back as she stared at her. "I heard so much about you

CHAPTER FOUR “CAN YOU pass me the new chemicals that arrived today?” Dwayne asked Waverly because his hands are already full of his new tools. Today is a very busy day for them because they'll be testing their new cryptography that Waverly made yesterday. “There you go.” Waverly said as she helped Dwayne with his things. “What are we going to do after the testing, Alaia?” Reysell asked curiously. “I don't actually know, since the testing might take a lot of our time. If we still have at least four to five hours, then, I guess, we should start working with the woman's grief. What do you guys think?” Dwayne pouted. “We can do that, but it will take time too.” he said and heaved a sigh. “How about inventory?” Reysell injected. The three of them exchanged glan
