Since then, Zella and Mike's relationship has grown closer. Zella, appointed as a butler, has now changed her status to that of a maid. She wore a uniform that was so charming; previously, Ruby had used the same uniform as hers, but the woman had been fired from this mansion. Zella, who took Ruby's place at Mike's behest, descended the stairs with her index finger, tracing the fence, which still felt dirty and dusty."Please pay more attention to the cleanliness here," Zella ordered the two young waitresses, who used to be seniors, to Zella.No matter how high, the walls were gossiping about her. Zella was still Queenzella, carrying out her mission, until at the end of the stairs, Zella saw Kenneth's face. But Zella lowered her head first, letting Kenneth pass by her. That's how they are now; Zella and Kenneth are strangers again since the incident that night.Flashback.Zella and Mike only returned to the mansion after one in the morning. The rain was so heavy that they both got caug
"Come closer," Zella called Mike to come closer to her, who was currently sitting next to the bathtub."You're going to help me wash my hair?" Mike smiled as he approached Zella like an excited child."You asked me to do it for you, didn't you? Sit down," Zella said after placing two stacks of towels partially on Mike's neck pillow.Mike followed Zella's instructions, sitting on the tiles of the bathroom floor with his head resting on a pile of towels on the edge of the bathtub.Zella soaks Mike's long hair in the shower. Zella's hands gently sweep through Mike's hair, pouring shampoo into her hands and starting to rub Mike's hair with a gentle massage.Zella's eyes focused only on Mike's hair, while Mike focused on Zella's face, which looked very beautiful in a severe state."I want to be honest with you."Zella stopped her hand and looked into Mike's eyes. What did Mike want to tell her? She hadn't prepared anything yet."Ahh shit! I should have brought my phone into the bathroom."
"Are you sure you want to do this with me?" Zella threw a glare at Mike."You're not sure what I'm saying?" Mike replied to Zella's words, his lips nuzzling the hollow of Zella's neck once more."I'm saying this... To make you think twice about doing it.""What? What's wrong with you?" Mike looked back at Zella, trying to listen to what she had to say. If Zella were lying, Mike would quickly find out."I'm the monthly guest... It'll all be for nothing if we do it," Zella said, explaining what was happening to her right now."Shit! There's always something in the way of me wanting to touch you."Zella looked at Mike's face, who seemed very disappointed at what Zella said. Mike's body rose from the surface of Zella's body, and he instantly felt lost."Are you mad at me?" Zella changed her lying position to sitting and folded her legs together."No.""Liar! It turns out you can get angry, too." Zella held back her smile as she looked at Mike with his back to her."I'm not mad at you! I'm
The sound of gunshots rang out loudly. Bullets flew into the target board, which was no longer because the perpetrator had not stopped guessing for almost two hours.Zella continued to shoot at the target board, which was 10 meters away from her. This was still quite a distance for her; not a single bullet missed the black dot that had disappeared. With every pull of the trigger from her favorite handgun, only Kenneth's face kept appearing, and Dealova's face looked happy—these two people should not enter Zella's mind to ruin her mood.Finally, Zella stopped shooting because she had run out of bullets. With the remaining anger, Zella threw the handgun in her hand, her eyes returning to stare intently at the front. Her knuckles, turning white, gripped the edge of the metal table nearby."Wanna fight?" Diandra appeared behind Zella. She had been witness to Zella's entrance into the shooting range; the woman had been very emotional, and Diandra had witnessed Zella's burning rage until th
"What's wrong?" Diandra again felt that Zella looked silent without speaking; the mood of the woman in front of her was back to what it was before they came to the ring of death."It's nothing. Let me go to the restroom first," Zella said with a very cold intonation. She stood up and left her desk.Zella walked quickly, not towards the toilet but towards the exit from the other direction. Zella exhaled, took out a cardboard box filled with nicotine, and began to burn the tip with a lighter.The smoke from the nicotine between her lips wafted out. Zella was still smoking with a blank stare; there was only her in this area. Maybe people only know the exit from the main access door.Zella looked down at the surface of her leather boots. Her eyes closed; she no longer wanted to cry. But Zella was contemplating whether she could look professional after this. Would she be okay with going back to the way they never saw each other in the first place?A tug on Zella's right arm made the cigare
Kenneth stared at the mirror in his walk-in closet. An expensive suit that, this time, was slightly different from his usual suit, a jet-black suit with a white shirt and a satin bow tie. Kenneth's hair had been transformed into a neater look with pomade polish, which made his entire forehead visible.Kenneth just stared lazily at the servers who passed by him. Kenneth was only looking for Zella after the hug that happened a few hours ago. Zella left Kenneth with a goodbye and said she would come back. But until this moment, Zella's words were not at all occupied by the woman."Sir, are you ready? Mr. Zaverio is waiting for you." The waiter reappeared, calling Kenneth, who did not come out."Wait!" Kenneth stopped the servant, who was about to leave."Is there anything you need, sir?""Have you seen Zella? I mean Miss Zella," said Kenneth, who corrected the call for Zella, who had a higher rank in this mansion. Zella had become the butler in the fastest period of 17 days."Miss, I did
After that, Valencia was seen going to the back area. Fortunately, she had something that could serve as a sweetener in her daughter's relationship. Valencia poured out a medicinal powder that made the person who drank it experience a reaction that made them burn with a sensation of heat."Hey... Please take this drink to the young master." Valencia placed the glass cup on the empty plate brought by the waiter.The waiter nodded and walked away with the water that had the medicine in it. Valencia smiled. She was waiting for the medicine to take effect and make her daughter happy tonight.Dealova waited in front of Kenneth's room. Her mother said that Dealova just needed to wait until Kenneth saw her. After waiting for several minutes, instead of Kenneth appearing, Mike's face appeared. Dealova didn't care about Mike; she was still waiting for Kenneth.Mike, who felt a strange reaction in his body, approached the woman in front of him and confused her name with another person's. "Zella
Victoria's eyes lit up as if she saw a billion-dollar bill in front of her face. Her daughter Dealova was seen standing in front of the glass in the living room with a flat face, but Victoria was sure the unboxing scene must have happened because of her daughter's strange walk. "How was it? Did everything go well?" Victoria approached her daughter, Dealova.Dealova, who was still in shock from yesterday's events, was still unable to frame a smile on her face. He really couldn't believe this was happening to him."Dealova, did everything go well?" said Victoria, holding Dealova's hand. Her daughter seemed to be busy picking up clothes rather than answering her."No... It was unexpected!" Dealova pulled her hand away, revealing the bathrobe, which showed the anger marks all over her body.Dealova did not smile at all; she did not know where to start the story. Every time she remembers, she wants to cry because Mike abused her."Good!!! Mommy is sure that after this, your relationship w
3 years later."Luis. Have you studied all the files?" someone asked, adjusting the glasses that framed his face."I have Mr. Christopher," Luis replied steadily with a nodding head."Good Luis. You'll be in charge for the next few months," said Kenneth taking off his glasses and placing them in a box and storing them in a drawer.Kenneth stood up from his desk chair and went into the room. Within minutes, the cold face reappeared in a different suit. No longer in a shirt suit, and also that boring expensive suit. Kenneth appeared wearing jeans and a leather jacket complete with sunglasses."How do I look?" asked Kenneth, putting one hand into the pocket of his leather jacket. Staring at Luis with a haughty face with his sunglasses slightly lowered, Kenneth's appearance looked perfect having dyed his hair jet black. "Mr---" Luis' words were cut off as Kenneth raised five fingers to stop him."No Luis. Don't say I'm not fit to look like this, 33 years old is the time to exude the matu
Everyone at the center of the secret agent division was again surprised by Queenzella's return. The news of her return as a secret agent caused pros and cons, some gave her praise for the disguise Zella did to sacrifice so much to complete the mission. And some showed hatred which was a sign of envy because, they couldn't do as well as Zella and her division."What's going on, the youngest heroine is here," said a large man staring intently at Zella. The booming voice of one of the other division leaders who came with a haughty face. As well as his dismissive gaze, Zella didn't take the slightest offense and even walked past him. Did she have to answer the question of an old man barking for praise, unfortunately that didn't apply to her.Zella continued to walk past the many people staring at her. She only focused on the front, a room that was her destination point for stepping back into a place that was full of curses for her. Zella knocked on the door slowly, until she got an answe
Another heavy inhale was heard as it was exhaled along with the smoke billowing in the air. The cigarette is still clutched between delicate fingers with a blank stare at the sea. Zella was there trying to fight the noise in her head. The sound of the waves crashing against the rocks celebrated her heartbreak, Zella just smiled a little and took one last drag on her cigarette before putting it out. Not only was she thinking about her feelings. But she also thought about what retaliation she would do to Mikequel. Today it is certain that Mike is wanted by the police, Zella has submitted all the evidence she wants. Those who have won the mission by proving Mikequel Cristopher is the mastermind of the serial murders over the past year. But Zella would not let Mike be arrested by the police, Mike's business was only Zella who would solve it. Her cell phone rang instantly, she reached into her pocket to check for the caller and answered the call quickly."Hello.""Zella where are you rig
Eyes closed hands clenched tightly. With his head slightly raised Mike was holding back his anger, it wasn't the only time bad luck had happened to him lately, he had received another rejection but was still trying to negotiate with the person on the other end of the line. They were the place where Mike had been getting his supply of drugs for the past three years, but this was the first time they had returned the money he gave them to cancel his drug shipment."I'll give you double the original agreement. Give the goods to me.""Sorry again. The big master still refuses to give it to you.""Fuck! What's going on?""We're not selling for the time being and some time in the future.""Then where am I going to get it from if not from you!""No need to worry Mr. Christopher. I'll introduce you to someone I know, but they sell face-to-face.""Why do you have to meet. I don't care! Just introduce him to me, and I'll send someone else to pick him up.""If that's the case, I'm sorry you won't
PRANG!The glass shattered against the wall. Mike threw it angrily. His eyes were red with intoxication, having gulped down almost two bottles of the golden-colored liquid. With his shirt only covering his back, Mike fell back on the sofa with his head up.He was back at Christopher's Mension and had been making a mess since last night. The servants only peeked out from behind the walls, afraid to show their faces as they could be the target of the young master's wrath."Stop peeping at me!" scolded Mike with his eyes closed.Not at the Villa and not at the mension. Every place felt unsafe to him, every corner like someone was stalking him. Mike hated that, whoever was behind all the terror he was receiving. Mike would make sure they died at his hands and drank their blood, the sad face and jet black mane that touched the nape of his neck had a piercing gaze, and the fine hair that grew along his jaw, the youngest son of Zaverio Christopher was devastated. It had only been two weeks s
Sunlight filtered through Zella's window curtains. She was still staring at the apartment door; Kenneth had returned from the evening in the morning. She tried contacting Kenneth many times, but none of the calls and messages got an answer.Was she too selfish? She hurt Kenneth's feelings too much.After thinking for a long time, there was no use in feeling regret for so long, and Zella had to go back to being herself. Hasn't she said from the beginning that no love can influence solving all her affairs? Now that her words have come true without Kenneth, Zella will still finish everything.She picked up her cell phone and dialed someone. Only one person in her agency had strong enough connections, so Zella hoped her leader, Audrey, could help her, even though it was unlikely."Hello Audrey, I need your help.""Tell me what you need.""Can I come to your place? Or meet you outside.""I can no longer go out Zella. Leonard forbade me, just come to the Mension.""Alright wait I'll be righ
"Just tie it tight!" commanded Dealova, despite the pain as the ballet corset was tightened.Dealova held on, clinging to the wall with her eyes forced shut. Her belly had begun to grow. The pregnancy that she had to hide to keep performing on the theater stage."Dealova, are you sure you want to perform?" said one of Dealova's ballet partners who had noticed her condition."I'm very sure! No one can stop me from performing." Dealova stood tall in her ballet outfit. He looked at the reflection of his face and posture, nothing had changed so far. Her stomach was a little tight but Dealova was confident that she could endure the pain and would soon get used to it."Your baby." "Shut up Cia! I own this body. I'm the one who feels," Dealova retorted with sarcasm.Dealova walked out of the dressing room. She was hanging out with the rest of the ballet, they would be performing in a few minutes. Everyone was warming up while Dealova was sitting on a wooden chair lacing up her ballet shoes.
Ting TongThe bell rang. Mike, who was alone in the Villa, got up and walked towards the door. He would not easily open the door for just anyone, Mike looked at the intercom screen and looked at the courier who came with the package. But he clearly hadn't ordered anything, so after making sure, Mike opened the door."In the name of Mikequel Christoper?" the courier read the recipient's name once again."Who's the package from?" asked Mike, receiving a large box. "Queenzella," said the courier again reading the sender's name.Mike was surprised and immediately took the package after signing for it. He looked to the left and right of the Villa, looking for someone who might be hiding nearby. Mike carried the box, walked into the living room, and placed the large box on the glass table."Who used your name to threaten me?" monologued Mike, taking the cutter and opening the box."Argh! Damn it!" cursed Mike who was shocked to see what was inside the box.A baby doll's head was covered in
Zella hides in the trunk of Kenneth's car. She had said earlier that she would not go to Zaverio's funeral, and Kenneth believed her. There was no other way but to lie to Kenneth, she couldn't just stay at home. Zella wanted to see Mike in person! Her next target."I hope I don't get caught," Zella closed her eyes, enduring the tightness of her curled-up body.****After traveling quite a distance from Zella's apartment. The car Kenneth drove arrived at the funeral home, bouquets and his father's important guests came to fill the room. He got off with a flat face, the first person he saw beside his father's coffin was Mikequel."You're back," Kenneth said without looking at Mike."Tell me. Who did this to Daddy?" Mike replied touching Kenneth's coat sleeve.Kenneth just stared blankly at Mike's hand touching his arm. After his father's death, Mike was no longer a brother. Because until now Mike's arrival was never expected by Kenneth! "Are you sure you didn't hug him?" Kenneth added,
