They were then led to the dining hall for lunch, and it seems that it was another test of theirs. Crystal has never seen so many kinds, shapes and sizes of different tableware in her entire life just by looking over the well-prepared table. Perhaps, the rich are fond of wasting soap and water for these numerous pieces of metal where not all would even be used.
“Enjoy.” the maid spoke as she turned to leave, servants carrying dishes in each hand waltzed in the dining area where the girls are finally seated on their spot comfortably.
Crystal could only think about how this might be another test of elegance knowing that not everything is as simple as they appear to be.

A series of subsequent gasps were what they heard as the concerned females whispered amongst each other. "He’s not kicking us out, is he?" Hannah whispered nervously. "Look what you’ve done. That handsome hunk should’ve been mine if it weren’t for you!" the maiden that Hannah was arguing with, retorted in disgust. "Me? Wasn’t it YOU who started this mess?" Hannah replied, angrily in return, though in a whisper. "Be quiet, he’s looking at us! Have some dignity!" another maiden in blue scolded the other two in a low tone.
This time, Crystal adverted her gaze, squinting her eyes shut as the man continued to slowly eliminate the remaining space between them. She was nervous, afraid, and the way that he seemed to be taking his sweet, leisure time was making it worse. “Are you… not?” Crystal managed to utter out after she finally controlled her thoughts. Her eyes remained shut, as she could feel how only have an inch was the remaining space left between them. ‘Oh god, is he going to kiss me? Will my first kiss really go to this man? Should I push him away? What am I supposed to do?!’ she
Crystal was taken aback from that. She didn’t really expect that Janice would show her true self in such a small amount of time. Like literally only 5 minutes after her façade. She expected that Janice would make another act of pity or keep the pretense up at its finest, but she released the cat out of the bag so fast. It seems that she didn’t see the point of keeping her façade any longer. Especially, if people aren’t around to witness something they wouldn’t want to witness. But Crystal was unfazed, shady businesses and beneficial partnerships aren’t always clean. It seems that she must’ve promised partnerships with other maidens as well, to escape the predicament of being involved with the mishap earlier.
She sighed and took out her phone, it was connected to a VPN network. No matter how hard they try to plant moles in the villa, none of them has the capability to detect Cristopher’s private network. “Cristopher? Are you there?” she questioned, placing the phone near her left ear to listen. A brief silence was heart before a voice from the other end finally arrived. “Hello? Crystal?” Cristopher’s voice could be heard from the phone’s receiver. A smile was immediately drawn onto Crystal’s face as she heard his expecting tone. It was as if, it’s been long since she last heard her voice, even when it has been only 2 or 3 days passed.  
“N-no! it’s a misunderstanding!” Janice yelled as her eyes widened in sheer surprise. She instinctively released Crystal from her tight hold to face the old maid who wore a sneer over her expression. “Misunderstanding? Did you really think that I was born yesterday?! You were about to hit her!” Pristine shouted as soon, other maids got a whiff of the issue and stood alongside or behind Pristine. Crystal got a brief understanding of the situation before pushing Janice away and hurriedly running towards the Maid’s aid with tearful eyes. “Ms. Pristine! She wanted to hurt me!” Crystal spoke in an anxiously fearful manner. Her pitiful, shimmer
“No one believes me…” Janice sneered to herself as she made her way back to her room, where she suspects that Crystal is no longer there. Her sour expression was vividly evident to the point that all those around her would sense the odd atmosphere caused by her menacing aura. As if all life was drained by her evident anger and sorrow. But as she progresses, her anger and willingness to take revenge was purely evident. ‘I can’t let this be. I can’t let Carmilla get things her way. I can’t let her have Antony.’ she thought, gritting her teeth as she clenched her fists tightly. ‘I need to do something, fast.’ she thought once more before walki
“H-her!” the maid pointed a finger of accusation towards Janice’s way. Janice sneered at that. “Lowly maid! How dare you implicate me! Don’t you know who I am?!” Janice spoke out loud in anger before facing Crystal and the Madam’s expression of expectation. “She’s framing me! Carmilla, just because you hate me doesn’t mean you can use me as scapegoat for your delirious fantasies!” Janice yelled in pure anger. Crystal only gave a contented grin. “What’s wrong? Guilty?” she teased, and this only got Janice angrier as time goes on.&nbs
The rest of the day was oddly quiet, not a single sight of Janice was to be seen after the great mishap that occurred. Perhaps, maybe the woman learnt her lesson and decided to lay low for now? Whatever reason it might be, she better not be having any more thoughts on going against or scheming against Crystal. A sigh left Crystal’s lips as she gazed out the window of her room, gazing off to the vast view of the entire Villa’s Garden. It was constructed beautifully, that she herself would want to praise the artist who designed such beautiful placements and positions in the garden. It reminds her so much of her brother, Caesar

The blood in Roses, an organization built and funded by Harry just so he could enact his long plot of revenge. An organization that took several lives, both within and outside the organization, an organization that strives to reach medical and technological advancements, not for the good of the country, but to be used and facilitated for his sole desire to seek revenge against his brother. Now, once Harry Burton, rather, Harry Valencia is his real name, whose remains and ashes are scattered along the dirt, not an urn to keep his remains. He is no more, no longer a threat to the Valencia Household, no longer a threat to anyone else within, and those who could’ve been taken as a weapon of disposal by Harry in the very beginning. As the organization is flourishing, it will be quite a waste to let
The next night commenced, the night that they yearned been waiting for so long. The whole morning, they planned, the scouted the map of the area as given by Cristopher, and Cristopher had not been in contact with Harry ever since. He didn’t bother answering the messages and calls being sent to him by his peers, he didn’t care about anyone else at the moment but to seek revenge. To help Antony get the revenge he thirsts for. Revenge he wants, it is revenge he gets. Night came, the owls hooted at the night. It was peaceful, most of the people in the neighborhood are preparing for their nightly routine. Some would be out having fun,
The same night, the burial ended as Crystal’s coffin was placed neatly onto the mausoleum of the Valencia Household. Antony was immediately given care for his injuries as Carmilla personally took the liberty to calm Cristopher down. It was an hour later when Cristopher was taken to one of the guestrooms of the Valencia Villa to give him to calm down, by Antony’s instruction, no one dared to hurt him. Carmilla never left his side, she felt pity and sorrow for the man. She didn’t envy Crystal; she was even thankful that the woman gave him the love and support of a friend that she failed to give throughout the years. She could only hope for the repose of the soul of the woman, she could only hope that the woman will finally find peace. As for what is happen
The sun was rising up the vast, and everyone was doing their daily routines. Some are going off to work, some are taking the leisure to jog around the park, while some are having a nice morning drink from their favorite cafes and shops. Not a single soul is aware of what has been happening, not a single soul was bothered. Those who witnessed what has happened in the banquet, each and every one of them were requested to remain silent as the news suppressed. Despite the grand confession that Crystal had made, there was no news around that was circulated, there was no article that mentioned the event. As many would dare not offend the Valencia Household, the matter was rendered into silence, not a word to be spread, not a fact to be revealed. Reason to this? The time of mourning has com

Christine and the rest have heard from Angelica everything that has happened, news quickly spread around the entire Dencio Household staff, but they paid no mind to that. They won’t be able to hide Crystal forever, not after what she had done. Many news circulated, but Mr. Dencio quickly paid a huge sum to suppress the news before it reaches the headlines. Although, what Crystal did was something that not everyone would agree with, they didn’t mind, as this is what Crystal wants to be, to be true to herself and to everyone around. To finally set herself free from the torment of lies, to be free from pretending in this game of cat and mouse. This is the time that she finally gets free,
Tears. Those were the only thing that blocks Crystal’s vision at the moment. Her tears that she long kept from falling was now cascading down her delicate cheeks, she no longer bothered to keep them falling, they were already pouring before she could even utter an act of protest. Antony sat there, holding the woman close to his arms. He was too shocked that even his brain that was able to process a hundred of topics at once was blank. He couldn’t process the information well. So, the woman whom he long fell in love with, was actually someone whom he never knew? Is that why he found her suspicious in the first p
Silence. That was the only thing that plagued this household since the three vile creatures were kicked out from the premises. Staffs and employees mumbled amongst themselves and with others on how they are supposed to react, as they are currently stuck in between choosing to go back to their agendas, or to stay rooted on where they are in shock. This has been the most uncomfortable situation which they can possibly get into in their whole history of working for the Dencio household. They are aware, as most of them had worked in the Dencio Household for years. It is by no doubt, that the young man in front of them is none other than Cristopher Dencio, the first son, and the real heir of the Dencio
