The sun was beaming brightly though the glass windows that only some could bother to look at, seeping through the glass pane and shining like a beaming spotlight over the cement pavement in the empty halls.
There stood Cristopher, he didn’t look too happy, he has been hearing complaints from his people like Edgar and the rest of those he tasked to take care of her. They were, in fact, taking god care of her, the only concern is the fact that the woman herself refuses to cooperate.
As much as Cristopher would like to focus on his work, assigned tasks and… his personal agendas, he is forced to come here on a weekly basis just to talk some sense into this woman who refuses
“You WHAT?!” Crystal’s voice went high, it almost made everyone clasp their hands over their ears to silence out what painful sound was ringing in their heads now. It’s metaphorical in a way. Just so happened that Antony suddenly drove both Crystal and himself to the household this morning. The reason? She doesn’t know. She doesn’t know just what has got into Antony’s head for him to decide to stay in the household for what, two days? It’s normal for the spouse to stay at the family of the bride for a few days before the marriage, but this isn’t some normal family tradition or whatever.
The whole night was extremely unsettling for Crystal. Apparently, Antony just has this unformidable charm that couldn’t be helped, the charm that not only fazed her from the land of logic and reasoning, but also, her so-called ‘mother’. It would’ve been better if Antony slept elsewhere like in one of the numerous empty guest rooms that littered the whole place itself. All rooms having been disinfected and cleaned up to the greatest extent to ensure that no spectacle of dirt will cause any inconveniences or dissatisfaction from the young master. But oh, what tragic it has been when the man decided to sleep where she sleeps. The room which serves as her personal
The morning went smoothly, which is a sheer surprise as things were getting haywire as time goes on. The fear of potentially being caught, the dread and anxiousness of being near the man for too long, too close, too much. She couldn’t really pinpoint what else to think, as the man would often look her way, would stare, smile, and even whisper comments that made her heart go through leaps and bounds that she couldn’t explain. For now, she was commanded by her mother to take Anthony over to the apparel branch of theirs that is nearby, as the man was interested into seeing the business from the inside of which allowed the family to rise to this point. Not that Crystal cared, she already d
The sun was still high in the sky as lunch came, the mid-day of the day where the sun still high up and beaming its everlasting beams of warmth. Everything that the light touches, basks it in its heat as birds chirped over trees. There stood Cristopher, his frame basking in the sunlight as rays of warmth illuminated his features. He wore a pair of sunglasses; he wouldn’t want to be potentially recognized by anyone at the moment. He was out here for a reason, it was something that he normally doesn’t do, but by force, he did. Not really forced by his superior, nor was it a task given to him against his will. He got into this situation himself, for her, to make her happy.
“Mylene, dear! Can you run these files to the office before we leave? Just so the rest could focus on their tasks during our absence.” Her colleague spoke, handing her a bundle of files that weighs only half a pound with how thick the pages are. Mylene nodded with a smile. “Alright, meet you downstairs.” She replied, taking the files and heading towards the office which was just around a few turns from the halls. Mylene Haravina, being the only daughter of the country’s well-known designer, Mrs. Haravina, the young woman was tasked to help out in one of the
“Are you guys alright in there? This is the technical team, and we’re already in the process of fixing the power outage. Please remain calm, we’ll be finished shortly in ten to fifteen minutes.” The voice from the speakers built in the elevator broke the silence between both Mylene and Kenneth. None of them gave a response, although, Kenneth kept his arms securely around the female in an attempt to calm her down. She did, a few minutes ago. It was around ten minutes before the intercom rang, but until then, Kenneth could wait. He looked down on her frame, she was already quiet by that time. Not a sound leaving her throat although she was awake, just… quiet, for now.
“You can go, I have a meeting in a few minutes. Think you can roam around without any companion?” Antony asked, checking his wrist watch before signaling for his assistant to prepare his vehicle of transport. Crystal gave a smile. “Yeah, I’ll be fine. Don’t worry about me.” She urged with a smile. It has been a few days and Antony has become quite busy at work, his turnover as CEO will commence soon, and things need to be done to prepare his father to pass over the position. Although, Antony isn’t really wary about the possibility of someone else snatching the position, as the position is already given onto him when he was still very young. To learn, study, and train for when he finally assumes the position. However,
The next day was as peaceful as it can be, Antony had to frequently go to work very early in the morning, as so much needs to be done. Most of his work was left undone, the reason of which was because he was too busy spending time with his own leisure and his fiancé to be bothered by that fact. But of course, as the soon-to-be CEO of VGC, he needs to take care of certain agendas, as his father is no longer attending to such tasks and responsibilities. Thus, the work of a CEO has already been given to him although it was not yet passed onto him. His own position as the General Manager was also resuming. He is still undergoing the procedures to pass the position to someone else fitting, the turnover procedure itself was being too complicated than it should be. In this procedure, Crystal was lef
Today, we end our journey as the book comes to it's very end. I firstly want to thank the readers who stood by and supported this book during the days of it's making. Thank you for reaching this far, for reading this note at the very end. Sometimes, people tend to believe and seek revenge to satisfy one's anger.

Once again, thank you for supporting me and this book in it's journey to completion, it is utmost appreciated.
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
