“I…”
“You…?” Angelica lowly urged; her brow raised in question as to what the woman across from her wants to say.
Crystal was stuck in a short dilemma inside her head, whether to speak her heart out on something she needs to know or—if it would be a bad idea.
Angelica trusts her already, and that trust took quite the time and effort in order to gain. It might be a good enough reason to tell her something that has been bothering Crystal for so long already, right?
But then, wouldn’t it sound too sudd

Crystal didn’t bother to find out what happened to Clarise and the rest anymore, she merely quickly made her way up to her room without uttering another word after Antony left. There were so many thoughts circling in her mind that she didn’t know what to feel anymore; should she be happy that Clarise will probably never dare offend her ever again? Should she be sad because the family might be implicated with this matter? Should she be guilty for having the thoughts of deceiving Antony till the end? Should she be cautious since those two men in black will probably be around her 24/7? Maybe, she should be surprised and relieved that her knight in black suit and tie was there to defend her from Clarise’s temper. But this is
“Crystal Fei, this is absurd! What are you thinking for God’s sake?! You know damn well what’s going to happen if we disobey the boss! He’ll have our heads!” Cristopher continued his angered yells despite hearing Crystal’s light sniffling in the other line. Crystal on the other hand aggressively wiped her tears away. “I-I know, Cris, I know that the boss won’t harm me—he needs me and you know it more than anybody else.” She tried to say out loud only for her voice to be heard slightly hoarse and meek, something she was unlikely of being. She wasn’t like this at all, but since the man she was talking to was close to her like
“I knew you could do it! Should I refer to you as Madam Valencia now? Young Madam Carmilla Rosette’-Valencia?” Lylia’s cheery giggle was heard in the halls, Mylene was right beside Crystal in their walks. It was only a few hours later when Crystal decided to head back; she doesn’t want to stay there any longer after Clarise’s assault. And Antony would eventually be at his wits end if Crystal continued to remain in that hostile place. Clarinette didn’t want to but being in a wilder wolf’s den is detrimental to both Crystal and the Valencia Household’s dignity.
In the course of the next day, the sun was bright and clouds would cover the warming beams of sunlight as they often seep through the clouds. It was the next morning after they had their celebratory night. Mylene had a light hangover in the morning, but it wasn’t painful, at most it gave her only a light headache which was easily dissipated by some medicine and warm soup that the kitchen made. Currently, she was helping her parents in some business work. Her mother is a widely known fashion designer, while her father is also a designer but in a way of designing objects and custom-made materials. It’s their small business which bloomed into a great company in a matter of years thanks to her mother&rs
Amidst the joys and cheery celebrations that the others are taking the leisure of, discreet actions in the dark are still evident. The place where the light is absent in the eerie halls are vast and horrid as in one of the rooms of that place, a prison like cell. One can practically see the rattling of rats and the echoes of water dripping in the stone floor. It was eerie, the dimly lit light bulb in the low hanging ceiling was often flickering in and out. There are times that the lights flicker out in the night, leaving the room in the void of darkness. The habitant of that place was seated at a corner as usual, her knees are curled up to her chest, hugging them tight as the o
It was silent, eerily silent after Cristopher finished his statements. Like a heavy burden in his chest that had long been frozen off after the years returned, and it was heavily painful. The scars of the past came back to him, images flashing in his mind of those painful memories that he so badly wants to forget has returned, and it still causes him to shake. His hands trembled on the table; his breathing became unstable as his emotions began flurrying into a fit of a storm. The feeling of betrayal and the thirst for revenge is returning. He could vaguely remember his mother’s weak smile when he had last seen her, he was only a small child, he visited his mother in the hospital with the help of a kind maid even though
After a whole day of projects and business discussions with the ongoing collaboration between both companies, Crystal was beaten down with slight exhaustion. The job had more physical labor needed to be invested than she has taught. She never expected that as tradition to bless the construction site is for the designed to personally plant the first sapling, it was tiresome since she was tasked to continue in planting along with other workers to display her compassion towards the project. And Antony was freaking amused by all of it! It somehow caused her to silently growl in anger but nonetheless, she hid that all in her bitter smile. As
Crystal stood there, she doesn’t know for how long, but she did. She felt the salty tears of her demise, slipping down her cheeks, yet she didn’t care. She couldn’t care about anything at the moment as she felt guilt. Cristopher has cared for her, protected her, and even trained her to be who she is today. He was the one who taught him all that she needs to know, he was the one who loved her dearly although she is outcasted into joining as a young one. If it weren’t for Cristopher, she would’ve died back then unprotected during her missions. Cristopher had broken so many laws so many times in the Blood in R

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
