THE ONLY THING I FEEL FOR YOU IS HATRED

Erada rolled her eyes as the young lady fell to the ground with a thud, two of the men couldn't hide thier disgust either, such a pathetic excuse for a twin sister.

Even as Erada tried so hard to remain indifferent, there were a lot of emotions running through her mind, if the Kingston family hadn't done the unthinkable to her several years ago, would she have ended up a pampered weakling like this eldest miss, maybe she would have had a different kind of relationship with her sister and not this strong feeling of hatred when staring at her.

" Boss, how could fate be so cruel as to grant you such a lame excuse for a sister" Eight grumbled pitifully, shaking his head at the slender figure that had lost consciousness, the eldest miss of the Kingston family was actually weaker than the media described her to be, even though she was identical to his boss in terms of looks, the difference between them was as clear as day and night, while his boss was strong and fearless, the eldest miss was as timid as a rabbit.

" Boss you know we really don't need to keep her" Eight persisted.

" Enough!" Erada snapped, Eight, Venom and Meek were her most trusted subordinates, Eight was the most talkative, at times she wondered how he could manage to remain alive despite how often his mouth landed him in trouble.

" Do your best to revive her and carry her to the car" she signalled at Eight

" Me?" Eight asked incredulously, wondering why the Boss would leave such a task to him

" Boss, aren't you afraid that I'll lose control and kill her, I'm a mercenary after all and torture is what I am good at"

Erada seemed to consider it, it didn't seem like a good idea to leave such a task to Eight, she didn't trust him not to do anything funny.

" Forget it"

She pointed at the quiet youth who observed everything without a trace of emotion

" Meek! take care of her"

Meek nodded before crouching down to observe the young lady, after confirming that she had only fainted from shock, he hoisted her over his shoulder and the four of them headed to the car.

" To the imperial hotel"

Erada instructed the Driver, she had slipped the mask back on to her face and the young lady was lying face down on Meek's lap, even though it was an extremely awkward position, Meek's face was calm and composed, Meek rarely spoke but in terms of strength there was only few people who could stand against him.

" Boss, aren't we heading back to base" Eight questioned and Erada didn't know whether to laugh or cry, just how dumb could this guy possibly be.

" We can't let anyone find out the truth about Daera's identity, the best way to avoid suspicions is to hide it from the rest of the group"

Venom explained, even though his eyes were clouded with doubt, he trusted Daera, the relationship between the two of them was different from the others, this was because the two of them had grown up together

He was like an overprotective older brother, shielding Daera from the world until the day she had finally surpassed him and since that day he still continued to support her, he was the only one that understood how much bitterness and hatred she had against the Kingston family, he didn't doubt Daera but he doubted if this eldest miss would be of any help to her at all.

*THE IMPERIAL HOTEL*

The young lady was doused with water as soon as they were inside the five star hotel, a look at the four vicious faces sneering down at her confirmed her deepest fears, she had not been dreaming at all, everything that happened earlier was real, she was now in the hands of the undead, she shuddered violently and she feared it wasn't due to being suddenly drenched by water under the cold air conditioning, it was due to these four powerful people.

" I would like to have a word with her alone" Erada whispered, Venom patted her shoulders gently while Eight continued to glare at the young lady, only Meek had an indifferent expression on his face as the trio dispersed.

The young lady felt even more frightened as she was left alone with Daera, staring at the masked face that was just like her's and yet so different from her's, she bit down on her lips nervously.

" Although I've often heard about you in the news, I don't really pay much attention to your name, would you like telling me what it is" Erada asked with a smile.

The young lady flinched, the smile made her feel very uneasy, she had the feeling that Daera knew her name, in fact she knew more about her than she could ever imagine, she was only saying this to make her feel miniscule and insignificant.

" Olivia, I'm Olivia Kingston" she didn't know why but as soon as she said her name, she suddenly felt a bit more confident, she was a descendant of the Kingstons after all, one of the main families in Green city and even though she was the weakest in her family, she would still raise her head up high, somehow her name gave her a bit of courage

" Olivia" Erada's smile didn't leave her face " I would like to make two things clear to you, first of all I didn't save you because I developed any feeling of sympathy for you infact the only thing I feel when I look at you is hatred" she finished coldly

" B.. but why." Olivia shook her head continuously

"why do you have such a deep and intense hatred for me when you barely know me" she mumbled, her face contorted into a frown, even though she was aware of Daera's hatred for her, she couldn't understand the reason behind it.

" Why?"

Erada laughed mirthlessly

" you dare to ask me why, fine I'll tell you why since you're still so dumb to figure it out, years ago when your dear beloved mother was pregnant with the two of us, in order to have an heir to secure her position in the Kingston family, she conspired with the hospital nurses to have me killed and replaced with a random male child, I was oblivious to all of these infact I actually grew up having such a wonderful childhood"

The memories were all so beautiful and at the same time so painful, playing inside the little yellow house with the woman she grew up thinking was her mother, the only woman she would ever acknowledge as her mother

She didn't understand why mother insisted that she was homeschooled and why she didn't let her go out in public, she had always thought mother was too strict, even though they didn't have much money, mother had never let her suffer, mother always had such a radiant smile on her face as she patted her head

'Erada is mommy's favorite, mommy will never leave her dear Erada'

then she would plaster little kisses all over her face until she smiled and forgot the reason why she was upset in the first place.

" I was saved by one of the hospital nurses who couldn't bear to kill me, she took care of me and all was well in my world until your dear mother found out that I was still alive and sent assassins to kill me"

The memories continued to play in her head, several strong men invading the little yellow house, capturing her and mother, they had tortured them slowly, stabbing her and mother continuously with knives, and as each cry of pain left her mother's mouth, it tore her apart, that was the day she learnt about her true identity.

The day she finally realized the reason why her mother had always been very strict with her, teaching her about medicine even at a very young age, her heart ached for the young woman that totally refused to get married, sacrificing her whole life for her, it was her own stupidity and naivete by going out in public that had gotten her mother killed and she would never forgive herself for it, she would also not spare every single person that had been a part of her mother's death, she would make them lose every single thing they care about.

Tears had started rolling down Olivia's pale cheeks, while she had lived in splendor, her twin sister had went through so much tragedy but the most agonizing part was that her mother had been the one behind it, it was something she was unwilling to believe, even though her and mother had thier differences, they loved each other deeply, she couldn't believe that her mother would be capable of such vicious deeds, Olivia tried to stop her hands from shaking but it was of no use.

" No..no I. I.. can't believe mother would do something like that. .I..I ..

The mirthless smile on Erada's face disappeared and a cold chilliness took it's place, she felt no pity for the pampered heiress who suddenly discovered that her whole life had been a lie

Olivia took one look at the cold and unyielding face and she knew that there was no hope for her family, they were all doomed, the words of argument died on her throat and she pleaded pitifully.

" I don't care if you kill me, I'm really sorry for everything that you've been through" Tears continued to roll down her cheeks " but please pro.mise me that you will not kill the innocent people, please..."

" Every single person involved in the death of my mother will suffer a fate worse than death, is the Kingston family's eldest miss so dumb that she doesn't understand something so simple?" Erada's voice was dripping with sarcasm

Olivia's head hung low, she was too devastated to raise her tear streaked face, no wonder she had felt this strong feeling of hatred emanating from Daera's gaze, no matter how hard she tried to deny it, Daera was indeed her twin sister, having a lot of friends that had done lots of plastic surgeries, she could tell at first glance that Daera hadn't done a surgery to look like her, that face was very much like hers, down to her physique, Daera was her twin sister and it was the reason why it was so hard to deny the accusations but a part of her still held on to a glimmer of hope that her mother wasn't the heinous monster that could abandon and kill her own child.

" I saved you because you're part of my revenge plan, with you in my custody, I can make use of your identity and infiltrate the Kingston's household until I destroy every single one of them"

Custody?

The words started Olivia, several kinds of torture played through her mind and when she remembered the way Daera had almost ordered the cold faced Venom to gouge out Lily's eyeballs, a cold shudder ran down her spine.

" Please grant me a quick death, please don't torture me" she couldn't bear torture, not with the current state of her body, she couldn't bear any of the painful discoveries about her brother and mother either, a quick death would put an end to this intense agony she was feeling.

Erada's brows knitted in confusion, when had she mentioned a word of torture, the greatest torture was finding out that your real mother was a scheming evil witch, she didn't need more torture besides that.

" Torture won't be necessary you only need to imitate me while I carry out my revenge, failure would result in death" she bit out harshly

Olivia's eyes were threatening to pop out of thier sockets, I.. imitate the leader of.. the undead, imitate Daera!

" I . I .. can't" Olivia's lips quivered, she was well aware of her own capabilities, she couldn't imitate Daera for an hour not to mention days, her weakness would make her stand out like a sore thumb.

" Venom and the others will teach you everything you need to know"

The thought of that cold merciless youth only drove fear into her heart and for the second time, Olivia lost consciousness.
