Roses and Gunfire: The Price of Devotion Erase my existence
The next day, Amethyst remembered that she had another reason why she went to the headquarters, which is why she returned early again. Amethyst moved swiftly through the quiet corridors of La Xiena headquarters; if yesterday the weight of documents was in her arms, today it was the weight of what she would say. The weight of the documents in her arms yesterday was almost a mirror of the burden in her heart.She entered Venna and Maureen's offices, her face set in a determined expression. The two women looked up, surprised to see her so early. Amethyst was sure that they would talk about backing out again, so she took the lead."Nope, not going to back up," Venna laughed because of this immediately, Amethyst said."So, no good morning?" Maureen was teasing."Good morning," Amethyst said, and she raised an eyebrow at the two. "What? You haven't slept yet?”Maureen groaned. "Well, you know how much work we had." Maureen looked at Amethyst. "It's definitely worse once you leave," she adde

Amethyst took a deep breath, gathering her strength for what she had to say next. Venna and Maureen, still reeling from the conversation, watched her intently. Both of them were nervous because they felt that their heads would hurt even more the next time Amethyst told them.'No way,' said Venna and Maureen in their minds.Amethyst smiled at them, and this time, her smile seems like a genuine one, not a mask that hides her true feelings. "I want to move on," Amethyst began, her voice steady but soft. This is what she has wanted for a long time, and since the last hope she held on to her love for Dylan has been cut off, Amethyst just wants to be far away from this person. "I need a peaceful life, away from the blood and illegalities. I've had enough of this world."She needed it, but that doesn't mean she will leave it. After all, she stayed in the mafia world for several years, and this is what Amethyst considers the norm in her life.Venna and Maureen exchanged a glance, their eyes r
Roses and Gunfire: The Price of Devotion One week later
Maureen and Venna were just going to the conference room, where, out of nowhere, Dylan called a meeting. The two do not see any reason why he is calling a meeting, and they think there is only one reason for this: the loss of Amethyst's documents and proof of their existence in their system.Well, Venna wasn't surprised that Dylan found out, but they were both surprised because it took so long before they noticed.One week.A week before, they noticed that all the documents, information, and anything related to Amethyst were gone, and now, in the middle of the night, Dylan called a meeting. They don't have a war right now, which is why Venna is sure that this is about the loss of documents and information regarding Amethyst.Well, they are ready to be questioned and interrogated by Dylan; that's why they are not nervous. It was also his fault that Amethyst made this decision.When Venna and Maureen arrived inside the conference room, they immediately felt the heavy and tense atmospher
Roses and Gunfire: The Price of Devotion Part of it is your fault
When the meeting ended, no one spoke. They just watched as Dylan left the conference room without a word. They don't know what they should feel because, first of all, they know the reason why Dylan was like that to Amethyst, but that doesn't justify the hurtful words that Dylan said to Amethyst.In his apartment, Dylan was a mess. This is the first time Nathan and Alex have seen Dylan like this. When there was a threat to Amethyst's life, it didn't happen; she was still calm. It was because he still had a lot of ways to protect her. However, right now, there are none. On top of it, she's going to get married.Broken glasses, overturned furniture, and scattered papers were everywhere. It bore the testament of Dylan's fury. Dylan knows that it's all his fault that this is happening and that he shares in Amethyst's struggles, but he can't help but feel whatever emotions he's feeling right now.Sadness, fury, and self-blame.Dylan's breath is heavy; he's standing in the middle of the chao
Roses and Gunfire: The Price of Devotion For one night
The day Amethyst didn't want to come has come. Even though Amethyst didn't want to move, she got up from her bed and started doing her daily routine. Her mother and aunt are also going to the engagement, so she is not that nervous.The divorce between her mother and father is finally settled. Because of the power of money, it is processed quickly. Meanwhile, her aunt did not ask for anything from her brother Carl. It was because her mother had something left for her. Well, only the three of them knew about it, so they weren't worried about Carl finding out either. After all, it is also a large amount.Amethyst sat alone in an empty room, her heart a battlefield of resignation and simmering anger. She couldn't help but stare at the void. Being in a daze somehow makes her feel sane. If she wasn't in a daze, Amethyst felt like she was going to go completely crazy. The air was heavy with the weight of the impending ceremony—a union that was less a celebration and more a grim contract. The

As Carl turned away, Amethyst's cold, resolute words hung in the air. This is not the first time she lets them see this kind of part of her, but it looks like they are still not used to it.On the other hand, Larry, standing behind his father, felt a strange unease at the way his sister spoke. He knew something was wrong, and he also knew what could happen once they cut ties with Amethyst. Also, Larry could not lose the feeling that there was a finality in her tone, a determination that seemed out of place. He wanted to say something, to question this unexpected steel in her voice, but the swift agreement from Carl stifled him.It seems that Amethyst has no intention of changing her mind. It's not that he wants his sister to change her mind; he just wants to maximize the benefits they can get from marrying the man of their choice."Fine," Carl said, waving his hand dismissively. It was like he didn't care at all. "After the wedding, we're strangers." Nodding his head, he shrugged it o

After the meeting, Venna and Maureen lingered in the office, their nerves still frayed from the tense atmosphere. They turned on the TV, as was their habit, to catch the news and see if anything relevant to the mafia world or their operations was being reported.The others didn't speak because this was what they were used to doing with women in their mafia. There are only three women in the upper echelon of La Xiena, so they let them do what they want as long as it doesn't harm La Xiena's interests.Now that Amethyst has quit, there's only Venna and Maureen left. Even though Amethyst's position is vacant, they still have no intention of replacing Amethyst. After all, Amethyst has been with them since the beginning, and even though she has quit already, she still has a place in it.They immediately felt bored when they watched the usual news on TV. Nothing has changed; most of it is still about the government. The usual headlines flashed by—political scandals, economic updates, local c
Roses and Gunfire: The Price of Devotion Protect her from the dark.
The tension in Dylan's office was thick, suffocating. It was like a hand that choked them until they were unable to breathe. This is not the first time, but they hope this is the last time they will feel it. Dylan's aura is really no joke, and if this continues, they will surely suffer.Venna and Maureen had delivered their painful truths, and the weight of their words hung heavily in the air. They didn't finish the words they said to Dylan. At that time, for them, the more painful, the better. This is for Dylan to calm down from what is happening because, during this storm, they knew that it wasn't the end. They knew there was an even stronger storm coming their way.Dylan's anger, once a blazing inferno, began to subside into a cold, hard resolve. Little by little, he realized everything just based on what Venna and Maureen said. In his mind, they're right. Half of it is indeed his negligence, and it is normal for them to blame him. His eyes, once wild with fury, now reflected a dee
