"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
"I want you to make the food for me," Dealova repeated her words."It would be an honor. What would you like to eat for lunch, Miss?" Zella said as she drew a faint smile on her lips."Make whatever food you can! As long as it's fit for human consumption." Dealova crossed her arms in front of her chest."Dog-worthy! Because you're a animal!" Zella thought to herself that she didn't like Dealova's arrogant tone. She became even more arrogant when she became Kenneth's fiancée."Well, if you'll excuse me."Zella turned her body around and walked quickly to the pantry in the mansion. The chef looked so surprised when Zella the butler, came near them. Without saying much, Zella immediately took the apron and put it on her body."What are you doing?" The chef reprimanded Zella who was about to take the pot and ingredients from the refrigerator."I have to make a meal for young Miss Dealova." Zella rolled up the sleeves of her maid's outfit."My lady will do it." The main chef was still tryi
Zella went downstairs to the basement, where she planned to pick up some supplies that were stored in the storeroom. This was Zella's first time going directly to the basement, usually, there was a special servant who did it. The array of luxury cars in the basement was no longer a rite of passage for the billionaire Christopher family. Most of the cars there were sports cars, some of which Zella recognized because they were often seen being used by Mike and Kenneth. But one car at the end looked dusty, making Zella pause.She recognized the black car, even the license plate was the same as what happened eight years ago. In the same car as the man who raped her, Zella petrified her legs, was unable to move them, and stared blankly."Who owns this car? Kenneth? Or Mike." Zella thought to herself, her hands clenching into fists.Zella turned her body around and left the basement. She met Kenneth, who had just arrived with Dealova, their eyes briefly met each other. Zella wanted to leave
Mike is back on top of Zella's body, lowering the bathrobe arm on Zella's body. Mike brings his face closer, nuzzling Zella's neck. Exhaling harshly, Zella has a distinct body scent that Mike is completely addicted to.Zella closes her eyes, enjoying the touch of Mike's lips on the surface of her skin. Mike tugged on Zella's bathrobe straps, his lips whispering a phrase that was once again spoken—a phrase that was previously, only for the women in Mike's past."Zella, you're my queen."Zella's eyes that were closed opened again, and she immediately came to her senses and pushed Mike's body hard."Stop it!" Zella immediately got up from the bed and tied her bathrobe back on."Zella. What's wrong with you?" Mike was confused by Zella's attitude, which changed in a matter of seconds."Stop, I can't continue this." Zella raised her hand, stopping Mike, who wanted to approach."But why, what's wrong?" Mike said, approaching Zella and touching her hand."May 26, 2015, do you know the day?"
Ting!The clink of glass was heard as the two of them were in silence. Zella nervously grabbed Kenneth's cheek and kissed Kenneth's lips, both of Zella's hands were around Kenneth's neck.Kenneth was surprised by what Zella did, but eventually, he was swept up in Zella's hot kiss. The longing intensified, and Kenneth pulled Zella's waist tighter and held Zella's nape to deepen their kiss. While Layla pressed her chest, she accidentally nudged the glass that was by her side."That was close, Layla! Your hands are so careless," Layla said inwardly.Zella broke the kiss but didn't move her face away, their noses rubbed against each other, inhaling as much oxygen as possible. Regulating both of their breathing, Zella looked into Kenneth's gray eyes, which had siren eyes. Kenneth looked so charming in Zella's eyes."I love you." Kenneth expressed his feelings for Zella again."I know," Zella replied with a stroke on the back of Kenneth's head."Why don't you believe me?" Kenneth was annoye
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,
