The rest of the journey was undoubtedly quiet, not a sound to be emitted aside from the sound that the vehicle emits, the occasional honking of vehicle horns and the busy roads of the city. Crystal kept her eyes by the window, her eyes lightly gazing over at every single detail that could pass her peripheral vision. It was with a bit of difficulty, especially when the man’s stoic expression was visible in the window’s reflecting tint. The man not seemingly to be bothered by anything at all. His eyes were focused up front, as if watching the man driving in front, eyeing his every move.
Crystal could feel pity for the chauffeur, for she could see the tensed structure that the man shows as his fingers were clutching the steering wheel in a cautious yet tensed manner. The expression of Anton

The waiter arrived and handed them each with a copy of the menu, the waiter himself was deeply careful as to not commit any mistake under the hawk-like gaze of the man near him. He has long heard about the man’s reputation, including his mercilessness in the business circle. He is sure that the man is not someone he should bother, nor annoy to begin with. To bother the man or commit any distasteful act in front of him is but a dire fault that can never be erased. It took some time but after their orders were taken down note of, the waiter took a bow and hurriedly rushed off to do whatever he is ought to do in terms of handling their order. Crystal straightened her posture. “I’m not worth
The tension became heavier as more and more people stopped their lively chattering and meals to watch the scene unfold. Crystal found it hard to act right now that they are in the center of attention. She just didn’t expect that this Gina girl would lose her temper so easily with a little provocation. Hell, Crystal’s words were only very much lenient and minor to begin with. It seems that this woman’s temper is one of the main reasons why Antony was alright with being left by her. If Crystal were to be a man, she would dare not get close to a war freak of a woman like this one. It just makes her question even more on how and why did she even become Antony’s ex-girlfriend in the past? Jus
Crystal was finished in her dessert as the conversation ended, Antony stood and didn’t bother to say a word of farewell to the other two people in the table. Rather, he simply took Crystal’s hand and made some sort of gesture for her to follow as he led her out the area, past the crowd of waiters and waitresses whom were sensible enough to step aside and make way for the couple to leave. Crystal expected this, so, she stayed quiet and allowed the man to take her wherever he pleases to. She no longer questioned since she herself would want to get out of this situation as much as possible as well. It was greatly unnerving and uncomfortable to sit in the table, trying to ignore the vying eyes of anger that the other woman endlessly showcased in the entire time.
The couple waited for a couple of moments, and to Crystal’s utter surprise, a vehicle was parked on the sidewalk, right in front of both Antony and Crystal. The vehicle was a maroon Lamborghini, and it looked as if it was custom designed just for the owner of the vehicle, as the style and design was elegant that it somewhat looks different to the usual vehicles that she encounters on a daily basis when walking on the sidewalk. The chauffeur got out of the vehicle in the front seat and bowed in gesture of respect to the two. “I have brought your vehicle, Young Master.” He spoke in a respectful tone, his head still lowered. Antony gestured for the chauffeur to get back on his usual stance. “Good, you ca
The ride was long and quiet, Crystal didn’t know how long they’ve been this silent, but it was really a pin drop silence. The vehicle’s engine was growling, the vibrations sent by the vehicle in a steady motion was evident. The noise of that engine was the only thing that was currently audible. Crystal was still stuck in her own little world, however. The thoughts that she previously had, has come back flushing right before her eyes like a hurricane of memories. It was vivid and vague; she could barely keep her focus on one thought without shifting immediately to another. She bit her lip, thinking of what other possibilities that could occur which she had not thought about yet.
Once again, silence took over. The low grumbling of the engine was once again, the only thing that is audible in the silent ride. After that talk, none of them refused to talk anymore. Then again, they have nothing to talk about, why bother? The buildings that once towered over them with their enormous height and stature now faded into low greenery, trees of various shades and kinds now met with their eyes as the once busy roads where many people walked on, now gone. They are approaching the hi-way, the road became clearer now that the hassle of a traffic had ceased. The sky was a light shade of blue with the sun hiding behind the clouds. It was arou
“What happened between you and Gina?” Crystal inquired, since she can’t inquire about the death of her brother, nor about what happened those years ago without being seen as suspicious, she can only allow her curiosity to move for her. Antony released a hum, his eyes glued still to the front. The vehicles were slowing down, the ones at front are ceasing from movement as their backlights are lighting in a lighter shade of crimson. It caused Antony to cease his movements from driving the vehicle as well. It seems that another traffic jam has occurred by the end of the hi-way, for the reasons unknown, perhaps another accident, a roadway repair, or cementing process. He didn’t care, though,
Until now, Antony feels that pain, the pain that continuously swallowed him whole, the pain that made him unable to breathe. The pain that he couldn’t explain. Oh, what a fool he was to fall for her words, a fool he was to fall for her pretense. All these years, it was nothing but an act. The grim expression which Antony had, it was stone cold and full of pain behind his complexion. He could be seen gripping the steering wheel so hard, it could have left a dent in the leather material that coated the wheel. Crystal was in silence, it turns out, Gina has been cheating on him for a long time. Her love for him was never

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
