Lifting the cap of her favorite rose scented bath oil, Aisha pours it into the infinity tub and spread some fresh rose petals. Feeling satisfied at the warm temperature, Aisha slids her body into the water and sighs in satisfaction as her tensed muscles relax.
Last night up to this day are exhausting. She goes to Kristen's banquet, she'd been drugged and have a steamy make out with Aeron, she fought with Reid Leor, discovered some shocking news, and possibly an another betrayal.
Although, it seems that Reid was just spurting some nonsense, he manage to give her some useful information.
At least, her worries of having a war with the Lumière decreased a little. And their Boss happen to hate the Cavellis so much, so maybe she could negotiate with their Boss and have an alliance with them.
Now, about the aphrodisiac gas in Freohr's room.
There is a sudden series of knocks outside her room and she heard Alfred's voice, "Young Lady, I've brought your breakfast."
Grabbing the curtain near her, Aisha pulls it until the whole infinity tub cannot be seen.
"Come inside," Aisha orders and with Alfred's sharp hearing, he opens the door and lay the tray on the coffee table. "Inside the bathroom." Aisha finishes.
Alfred went to the bathroom and see Aisha's silhouette. "Is there something you wish, Young Lady?"
"Yes. I want you to send some people and get as much blood as you can get and have our medical team to examine it and determine whose blood is who."
"Will do, Young Lady."
"Also, send your most trusted man to join the Lorna's medical team. I want every moves and information about what's going on. And when all, I meant all."
"Like a spy?" Alfred asked and Aisha hums in response. Alfred didn't think too much and felt that it was only logical to send a man to spy Tom and the Lorna's every moves.
"Gave him my other safe account, I want that man to report to me the informations. Only to me." Aisha added.
Alfred frowns but didn't question his Young Lady. "Will be that all?"
Aisha was silent, lifting her right hand, she gathers some of the rose petals. The petals sways gently to the small water in her hands, it was satisfying to watch.
"Young Lady?"
"Alfred, you know what I hate the most is betrayal. You also know how cruel I am to those people who betrays me." Aisha said.
Alfred couldn't help but to feel slightly upset of his Young Lady's statement.
"Those people who had and will betray me will perish," Aisha grips the petals in her hand, so hard that her nail pricks her skin and small droplets of blood fell into the water, creating a whirlpool effect. "Like a flower, they will wither and die."
"I know, Young Lady," with a dry throat, Alfred force himself to answer. "This subordinate understands."
"You may go." Aisha let go of the petals in her hand and stood up. Waiting for Alfred to leave the room, Aisha grabs her baby blue towel and wraps it in her body.
Hearing the door close, Aisha step out of the bathroom and immediately notice the breakfast Alfred had prepared for her.
While drying her hair with an another towel, she calls her white tiger, "Misty."
Letting out a wild growl, the white tiger, also known as Misty, comes out of Aisha's walk-in-closet.
Misty, such a girlish name for a ferocious tiger. Aisha had found this white tiger when she was five, Misty was still a cub by then, hence why the childish name. The cub was wounded and Aisha took pity to the cub. She approached the cub but the cub gave her an intense roar as if warning her to stop coming any closer. That cub reminded of herself so much, after experiencing the cruelty of the world, they became wary of others and unable to trust again.
At that moment, Aisha who never ever smile again after she killed her mother, gave that cub a small smile and said, "Don't be afraid. I'll be here for you."
Letting out an another roar, Misty approach Aisha. Misty has a tear clothes in her mouth.
"Intruder." Aisha frowns but if it's really an intruder, why didn't the other mafiosi who's guarding the manor report something about this?
Moreover, she just went into the cellar earlier and didn't found any new faces in there.
Also, if it's an intruder, Misty would've already ate them.
Unless... it's not an intruder.
Quickly, she put an another badass outfit while going to her secret room.
She look up to one wall filled with many monitors. The soft tapping sound of keyboards was heard.
While Aisha was busy looking through every CCTVs in her manor, Misty gets the tray on the coffee table with her teeth and place it into the carpeted floor.
Misty was always the one who ate the foods prepared for Aisha.
Aisha was poisoned numerous of times when she was still a kid, so other than if it's her Father or herself's cooking, Aisha wouldn't eat any food prepared by anyone. Also, because of being poisoned many times, Aisha's body was now immuned to any poisons and drugs, however if it's too strong, it will still affect Aisha's body. But her habit of not eating foods prepared by anyone stays as she grows up.
But what about the aphrodisiac gas? That's one of the things Aisha's going to investigate.
"What in the hèll?" Aisha mutters in shock. She's watching the recording of last night, same time as Kristen's birthday banquet.
In the video, Misty was jumping in the garden in attempt to catch the fireflies. After a few minutes, some men wearing black tuxedos are carrying flowers, fabrics, lights, candle, and etcetera.
Misty roars at them but one guy mercilessly pushes the other guy to Misty and that became Misty's new toy to play.
Aisha watch helplessly as those men, who is trained to fight, create a seemingly romantic candle light dinner.
Seriously, what the heck was that guy trying to pull off?
The preparation goes on for another an hour and it's almost finish when suddenly, one guy shouted something and the others take away and destroyed their hardworks and leave the garden in the same state before they arrive.
Letting out a defeated sigh, Aisha closes her secret room and massage her temples.
This day isn't half over yet but she feels like she's about to faint in fatigue.
"Aaahhhh!" Hearing the familiar ringtone of her phone, Aisha mutters a string of curses as she walk towards her bed.
"Whoever the fvck is this, you better--- huh?" Aisha's eyebrows furrows as she stares at the name "Freohr Cavelli" in her phone screen.
Hitting the answer button, Aisha puts her phone in her ear and immediately heard Freohr's anxious voice.
"Where in the hell have you been!? I've been calling you for hours! If you think I've fvcking slept a wink last night then think again, Missy."
Aisha sighs as she flops herself into her soft and bouncy bed. "Sorry, there was an accident and I fought with Reid." Aisha said it in her usual cold and indifferent tone.
Freohr was silent for a second before he responds in a concern voice, "Reid? The Reid Leor of the Lumière famiglia? Are you okay?"
"Yes, it's him and yes, I'm alright. He's in the cellars now as we speak."
"Good," Freohr sighs tiredly. "I'm outside of my Father's room. He suffered too much in last night's battle and his operation is not yet over."
Aisha figures it that much. "Against with the Cavelli's force and Uncle Rafael? That group must've been super strong."
"It was the Lumière famiglia. Good thing you captured him, I'll get to ask him some questions."
Aisha, once again, fell into silent. Hearing no response from the other side, Freohr continues, "Also, at the birthday banquet, while I just recieve the shocking news about my Father, my Mother was kidnapped."
"What?"
"We'd search everywhere for her but we still couldn't find her."
"Do you want me to go in there?"
"Is it alright?"
"I suppose---"
"Young Lady, Reid has escaped the cellars and is running towards the entrance of the manor. He had already killed dozen of our men."
"What did you just say!?" Aisha pretends to be surprise and piss.
"Reid escaped?" Freohr heard what Alfred just said and asked just to make sure.
"Looks like I had underestimated him," Aisha sighs in frustration. "I'll call you back."
"I'll wait. Bye."
Tossing the phone beside her, Aisha rolls into the bed and sigh.
"Young Lady, what about Reid?"
"Just let him go."
"What?" Alfred was stupified at his Young Lady's remark.
"He's going to die anyways so why bother?"
Alfred nods in understanding, clearly he knows Aisha's killer attack and might have use it against Reid. Seeing Aisha was drifting into dreamland, Alfred locks her door before closing it gently.
More than happy for his Young Lady to be able to have some rest. Alfred lets out a small yawn and goes to his room to have some sleep too.
When Aisha wokes up, it was already dawn. That was the longest sleep she ever had for the past three months. Turning her head to the side, Aisha saw Misty's white fur and snuggles further into her warmth.
She stays like that for another minute before she reluctantly stood up. Shaking her Bengal tiger, Aisha orders, "Come with me to the cellars. Time for your dinner."
Misty's ears perks up as her tails wave excitedly as she was going to eat fresh meat again.
Both Misty and Aisha goes to the cellars, stepping inside to the smalled room, and opening an another hidden door that is camouflage into the greyish rusty walls.
Inside of the door was a stairs leading them in Aisha's manor underground basement. Only Aisha knows about her manor having a basement, and the whole basement is Aisha's personal entertainment for it has the gruesome equipments for inhumane torture.
Misty goes before Aisha and Aisha close the door and proceeds to descends to the stairs. As they walk further from the door, the smell of foul odor of blood and puke was getting stronger that Aisha couldn't help but to scrunch her nose in disgust.
Finally reaching the last steps of the stairs, Aisha gave the person chained like an animal a pleasant smile.
"Like my birthday present, Mother?"
