Chapter 2: Justice

With the sound of the aircon in my room, while my eyes were reading the documents, I couldn't help but zone out. The creature who appeared in front of my window last night makes me frightened.

If that creature is going to talk to me, why didn’t she talk to my butler rather than appear in front of my window to scare me? I should forget about that and focus on the documents in front of me.

"Finally!" I exclaimed as I accomplished my paperwork. I close my eyes and sit comfortably. I'm wondering whether I could go to the café today because I still have a lot of time.

So, let me summon Calliope so I can notify everyone that I had to go early. I don't want somebody to have to put in any effort if they want to report something to me.

After three rings, Calliope answered the phone, so I cleared my throat and said, "Calliope, please notify everyone that I will be leaving the company shortly because I have completed my paperwork. Please also adjust my study table for tomorrow. Thank you very much."

"I understand, Ma'am. Take care," Calliope spoke as I hung up the phone. Before leaving my office, I organize my belongings on my work surface.

When I notified my butler that I was heading to the café, he assigned our driver to meet me here at the firm. I'm not sure whether our driver is far from our office, but I'll wait even if it takes several hours.

When the elevator doors opened, some staff turned to face me. I didn't glance back since I needed to be in front of the firm and I didn't want my driver to wait for me for too long because I knew he was exhausted as well.

When it comes to my maids, drivers, butlers, and guards, I take extreme caution. Because they are so nice and courteous to me, I nearly consider them family. They've always been there since I was a tiny wolf.

When my sister vanished, they consoled me and reminded me to be more vigilant. They believed the maid they regarded as their sister was equally kind, but it turns out she's the one who kidnapped my sister.

How did they find out? We examined the surveillance footage. We still have the proof, but the suspect is nowhere to be found.

I'm grateful to my mother for allowing me to have some of her maids, butlers, and guards who are close to me. She understood how close we were, and I'm thankful she allowed me to hang around with them when I was younger.

But, when I became preoccupied with our business, I almost forgot about them. I always see them, but we never communicate as we used to.

I'd change the past if I could turn back the time. I'll take care of my sister instead of employing a maid who doesn't even know who she is.

But, because we can't travel to the past or the future, I'll concentrate on the present. I'll do all in my power to find my sister and slay the wolf who dared to touch her.

We did everything we could to look out for her, so why are they so cruel? My sister is completely innocent. She did nothing. She's too fragile and little.

"Did you wait for too long?" I sighed, placing some of my hair strands behind my ear.

"Not at all, Ma'am. I just arrived when you arrived," my driver said, opening the rear seat door.

"Thank you," I murmured as I took a seat. He quickly shut the door and rushed to the driver's seat.

"Ma'am, where are we going after we visit the cafe?" he inquired as he began to drive the automobile. I gaze out the window and take in the scenery.

"We're going home after that," I said. When I heard my phone beep, I blinked. My brow furrows since I'm not anticipating a message.

I quickly slid my phone into my back pocket, and to my amazement, someone had sent me a message.

"Ma'am, I found another evidence from the crime scene that happened before."

There's also an attachment to his email, which I believe is what he's referring to. Pictures showed on the screen when I opened the attachment.

She has a frightening smile on her bloodied lips, as well as crimson eyes and fangs. It's not a wolf's fangs. It's a vampire's fangs.

She's also dressed in the same maid outfit as the maid. It's silver and has a lot of frills on the end of the skirt to distinguish her from my sister's nanny.

My palms shook at the idea of my sister being abducted by a vampire rather than a werewolf.

What kind of situation is this? Why should they have to? I don't understand. We have nothing to do with the vampires. We're just on our planet.

I wanted to inform my parents, but they'd flip out. They're not going to hesitate, and they're led to the Vampire World without hesitation.

So, how should I continue? How can I address this issue? It's possible that they dragged my sister into their world.

I'm frightened. My mind is racing with questions. Is she all right? Is my younger sister still alive?

I shook my head and attempted to relax. I attempted to examine the photograph that my private investigator had provided.

This is the other side of our house's Surveillance camera. Previously, we just had two angles. One is in the rear, so we can't see her face, but we know she's my sister's maid since she's wearing a modified maid uniform. The final perspective we have is on the left side, but we can't see her face.

I'm not sure what type of supernatural practices my private investigator performed. We have a CCTV in front of the maid where we can see her face, but when we went to check the footage after my sister went missing, the footage in front of the maid didn't record the crime or should we say, it's not working.

I know she did something on the CCTV tape, but now that my private investigator has solved the biggest problem, I can now see her face.

I'm also pleased for the witch-wolf who devised this CCTV. Except for the vampires, she is a hybrid, and both wolf and witch get along well.

Because vampires do not have reflections in basic mirrors or cameras, the witch developed a gadget that can generate a vampire's reflection.

I'm not sure what they just put there, but I know there's magic there. Witches are known for their magical abilities, so it's not surprising that they created something beneficial.

I grimaced and looked down at the silver guns and knife in my purse. I usually bring this with me when I go somewhere far away from home.

It is not necessary to bring a self-defense weapon, but because vampires could appear out of nowhere, we must be more cautious.

I put my phone in my bag and rubbed the bridge of my nose to relieve stress. We have a lead on the crime, but we still need to solve everything to find my sister. We have barely a few evidences after fifteen years.

When we came home, I headed straight to my office. I set my purse on my study table and searched for the envelope. I sat in my swivel chair and arranged them all on my study table.

Who exactly is this vampire? Her strange smile is giving me a hint, for some reason. I believe there is information that I am unaware of, but what about her? Why did she capture my sister? Did we harm her in any way? Or did my parents do something to her that caused her to commit a crime?

We don't have any other relatives but my parents, and I didn't question it previously since I believed it wasn't a huge concern, but now that something is wrong, I want to ask my parents.

I still require information. The knowledge I have is only a snippet from the past. I can link anything if I look further into the evidence.

When the door opened, I instantly locked my phone because it was the most recent information I had.

"Ma'am, here's your steak," the maid remarked as she went up to my table and set the steak and drink on the table.

She looked at the proof I had and sighed, "You're stressing yourself out too much, Ma'am Celeste."

"I can't just forget everything," I bit my bottom lip and averted her gaze. "She's my sibling."

"But you manage your businesses. If you continue to abuse your body—" I stopped her off with a look.

"I don't want to throw another year away. I need to link everything as much as possible. I need to gather the shards of evidence. I need to locate my sister," I stated.

"If I continue to put it off, it will take years again, and I don't want my sister to suffer. She demands justice. She's too young for this," I said, gritting my teeth. My wolf fangs are starting to show. I'm about to shift, and I don't want to attack our maid. I know she's purely worried about me, but what can I do? My sister is more concerned.

I closed my eyes and struggled to relax. There's no need to be upset. Getting furious at someone is pointless. They're just concerned about my health, but I can't disregard my sister. Is it possible that if I'm healthy, they'll let go of my sister? If it were, I would do anything to be healthy. I would go to any length to get her back. But it isn't! I have to deal with what is true. I need to connect everything, whether I'm healthy or not. I need to get her back and give us the justice we deserve.
