Why are you so calm?

Amethyst strolled through the garden, her eyes drifting over the vibrant array of flowers. The sun was warm on her skin, and for a moment, she let herself bask in the simple pleasure of the moment. Somehow, she felt free in this part of the house. He does not feel suffocation due to tension. Even though someone was following her, that man followed her at a discreet distance, a silent shadow she had grown accustomed to since her marriage to Jonathan. Even if he wants to get rid of it, he can't. Well, that's Jonathan's rule, and if Amethyst doesn't follow it, there's sure to be a discussion.

What a bitch!

The room fell silent after Amethyst's confident retort. The men resumed their discussion about their businesses, their voices a low hum of serious conversation. Amethyst listened carefully, her face an impassive mask of polite interest. She remained silent and had no intention of getting involved. She followed their conversation and took everything to heart. She didn't even bother to look at everyone's faces. All she did was sit down, act like a coward, and be uninterested in their conversation. However, little did they know that Amethyst was starting to absorb every piece of information they were talking about. It's not new for Amethyst to be able to memorize names and conversations right away, so it's not difficult for her to inform La Xiena Mafia. The only difficulty for Amethyst is how she can deliver it without them noticing. Meanwhile, across the table, the woman who had antagonized Amethyst earlier sat silently in her se

Cheating [ Part 1 ]

As the meeting began to disperse, Miranda stayed behind, a haughty expression on her face. He still wouldn't let Amethyst get out of that place where he didn't doubt her. Miranda wanted her dead, after all. Because of Miranda, Amethyst took what should be hers. Which is, this made Amethyst want to laugh at her. After all, there is nothing like him. Or maybe there is, but it didn't work out. Seeing Amethyst's reaction, Miranda felt more annoyed. She raised an eyebrow at Amethyst, her disdain palpable. She was known for this. Thus, Miranda didn't even care at all. "How come you looked so nervous when we were talking about the mafia?" she asked, her voice dripping with sarcasm. Amethyst stared at him. Amethyst didn't know whether to laugh or look at Miranda like she was a fool. After all, for normal people, talking about the mafia really makes the heart beat faster. And now she's asking her if she looks nervous. Of course, he has

Cheating [ Part 2 ] [ S P G ]

Miranda pulled back slightly from Jonathan's embrace, her eyes filled with a mixture of hope and lingering hurt. "Why, Jonathan? Why did you marry her?" she asked, her voice soft yet insistent. Jonathan took a deep breath, his eyes meeting hers with a calm resolve. "It was to make Amethyst a shield," he explained quietly. "We have many enemies, Miranda, and I needed to protect you. Marrying her was a strategic move to keep you safe." Miranda absorbed his words, a flicker of relief crossing her face. She felt a weight lift from her shoulders, understanding the depth of his actions. She leaned in closer, her fingers tracing a delicate path along his jawline. "You always know how to make me feel better," she whispered seductively, her touch sending shivers down his spine. Her eyes glinted with a mischievous sparkle as she continued, "Let her out of the house first, Jonathan. Let me spend the night here and her at the hotel. And then," she pa

L.K

Surprisingly, Amethyst still did what Jonathan wanted. She went out and shopped to her heart's content. But, of course, it wasn't for her. It was for the people. She would donate it secretly. After all, Amethyst didn't want to have things from Jonathan's era.Oh, except at the coffee shop. Well, that's not really his thing. Jonathan lent it to her, so it doesn't count.Amethyst feels that there are a lot of electronic bugs inside her hotel room, and she's sure that Jonathan is monitoring her movements since there's no one following her. She convinced Jonathan that since he wanted her to spend the night at the hotel, there shouldn't be a guard outside her room.Ametyst thought it was not Papaya, and she was shocked when Jonathan said yes to her. That's why, even though there were many bugs in her room, she still felt the freedom, even if it was just tonight.Amethyst smiled. 'There must be something that happened inside the house, and he made me spend the night here,' she thought.Amet

They're all playing a dangerous game

It's been a few days since Jonathan let her sleep in the hotel, and all she could say was that it was a brief paradise. If she were to choose, she would choose the hotel. In Jonathan's house, she could only feel suffocated. Even so, even if he wanted to go back to the hotel, he couldn't. It was because she still needed information from here.Amethyst frowned because she had been hearing cars going in and out of Jonathan's house. Because she wanted to know if anything bad happened or not, Amethyst sat by her window; the curtains barely parted as she observed the increased activity outside. Just based on what she sees, Amethyst is sure that these men who ran in and out of the house had something to talk about.Amethyst also couldn't help but feel ashamed because of what she saw. She doesn't know if she should feel sorry or if she should laugh at Jonathan because of what she sees. Those men who were in and out of Jonathan's house, some familiar, others not, moved in and out of Jonathan's

A piece of cake

Two days later, the house was eerily silent. The usual bustling activity was absent, replaced by an unsettling stillness. Amethyst didn't know where the people here went, but she had no idea they were leaving. They were just busy last night, and now there are no people. They are surely going somehow. However, that does not concern her anymore.Due to their sudden departure, Amethyst was unable to prepare. However, that doesn't mean that he doesn't have a plan ready. Not only was he not ready to do other things, but he had a dedicated task that he was just waiting for the chance and opportunity to do.Amethyst went downstairs and looked around to see if she was the only one inside the house. Of course, he doesn't want anything bad to happen, so he's looking to see if he can act now or not.Amethyst then noted that only three maids and the chef remained, along with the gardener outside.Only five? These five definitely have no connection to La Victima Mafia. They are just normal servant

Gunshot wound

Amethyst winced because of the sudden pain she felt in her arms. Amethyst hears cars and people's footsteps from outside the house, so Amethyst starts acting again.Amethyst sat on the floor of her room, clutching her bleeding arm. Her breath came in ragged gasps, and her vision blurred slightly from the pain. Immediately Amethyst saw the people, and Jonathan strode in, his men following closely behind. His eyes landed on amethyst, cold and hard.Almost suddenly, Amethyst was nervous because Jonathan thought of her. Cold and hard? Why is he like that?Instead of rushing to help, Jonathan stood there, glaring at her with contempt. Amethyst's heart pounded, fear mingling with the pain in her arm. Did he know? Had he discovered her betrayal?Amethyst immediately became nervous because she knew that not only her life would be in danger but also the lives of her mother and aunt. She doesn't care about her life, but what she cares about is her mother and aunt.Also, it's not called betrayal

One misstep, and you're done

In order not to be suspected even more, even though she knew that she was no longer suspected by the whole family, Amethyst still had to pretend. She doesn't want to get discovered yet, and she still has some work left to do at Jonathan's house. She doesn't want to ruin her own plan.Because of what happened, Amethyst noticed that Jonathan looked at her differently. Well, Amethyst can't be blamed for that either because of the way she looks now; she looks like a rabbit who is very scared because she is about to be eaten. Even though it's just an act, Amethyst feels that she will get an Oscar because of this."You should join us," Jonathan said when he entered Amethyst's room.Amethyst turned to Jonathan, as if she had just returned to reality from her reverie. "Huh?""Don't go here alone. Come with me."Jonathan didn't wait for what Amethyst had to say, and since she acted like an innocent, timid, yet witty woman, she stood up and followed him. Even if Amethyst wanted to just stay in

Mole

After the discussion, Amethyst continued to pretend. She shuts herself in her room and never goes out. He couldn't lock the door to his room because it would only strengthen Jonathan's suspicion. For Amethyst, if Jonathan comes in, she doesn't need to knock on or destroy the door.At midnight, Amethyst sat at her own desk, fingers flying over the keyboard as she typed out a message in code. He can't take it any longer because if Jonathan finds out that Nightmare is missing, something bad will happen. The room was dimly lit, with the only sound being the faint hum of the computer, AC, and her own steady breathing. Amethyst isn't afraid to send code to Venna because she knows that she can delete traces that Jonathan's hackers can't get or restore.They aren't that great after all.She continued encoding the details from Jonathan's meeting, specifying the plan to use me, Nightmare, as a decoy. However, they could use another woman to pretend to be Nightmare and kill those people who want
