Aisha was lying on the sofa in her office, her emotionless eyes are staring on the ceilings, as if the answers to her questions are written on it.
Kristen was the reason why her mother become like that, she was also the reason why Rafael killed her father.
Aisha wanted so badly to make them pay, to return what they did to her parents but...
Will they like it?
Will mother be proud of what I will do?
Aisha didn't know why she is hesitating. It's not like Kristen is innocent, nor was she a good person. But why does she feels heavy? Like her guilt is slowly eating her alive.
She doesn't understand.
She feels... lost.
Suddenly, amidst the silence in the room, Aisha heard a "ping" on her laptop, someone just message her.
Aisha felt reluctant to get up but work is calling for her. She opens her laptop and click on the message.
It was the spy.
Aisha's senses becomes alert as she sat on her swivel chair and read the reports of the spy. The more she read his reports, the more confuse and suspicious she is.
More importantly, she is... hurt.
Even though Aisha vowed to herself to never trust anyone ever again, she couldn't help but to put her tiny bit of trust in them and treat them as someone she can rely on.
But then they dared to betray her.
Aisha felt anger consuming her whole being but she is not like Kristen. No, she won't let her emotions get the best of her.
All of them, they will pay.
Aisha deleted the file, she make sure she leaves no traces, and close her laptop. She was born with a retentive memory, so memorizing informations and datas are a piece of cake for her.
It wasn't impossible for them to do this much without someone helping them behind the curtains, Aisha analyze the information she has and connect the dots to one dot until she form a hypothesis. This will need a further investigation to form a strong conclusion.
If Aisha was proven correct to her suspicions, and when there really is someone pulling the strings here... a devilish smirk slowly form on Aisha's red lips.
She will make sure to give the cruelest punishment the world could ever give for those people.
But first, she have to start with them.
Aisha leaves the office and went to her room, specifically to her hidden room. Misty was sleeping beside her bed so Aisha daren't make any noises. Closing the door to her secret room, Aisha turns on the power of each of her computers.
Aisha felt thrilled at the sudden turn of events. She feels like she had come to an end to her investigation but it was only a tip of the iceberg and Aisha won't mind exploring the end of it, and once she reach the end, she will not show any mercy.
If they think they can outsmart her then they are more foolish than they think they are.
They thought that Aisha was controlled by the strings of the puppeteers, when in fact, Aisha will create a stage for them to play and they will be the actors.
Misty, who is sleeping earlier, was now awake. She scratch her paws and look around the room. She smells Aisha's scent but was nowhere to be seen so Misty could only deduce that Aisha was in her secret room.
Misty yawns again and rest her head into the soft, and thick carpet.
This is will be a long night.
Few days later, Alfred had already asked every mafiosi and maids in Aisha's manor but none of them had seen her, except when she had gone to her room.
And that was three days ago.
Alfred knew that his Young Lady has a secret room in her bedroom but doesn't know where it could be found. Alfred didn't care about that, what he is worried about that maybe his Young Lady didn't rest again or eat in those time.
He had always leave foods in Aisha's bedroom but he realized that it was Misty who ate the foods he prepared.
Young Lady, if you continue this act, I'm afraid that your body will give up, Alfred howls in his heart.
While Alfred was worried about Aisha's well-being, the said young woman was eating desserts and chips to her heart's content.
It wasn't the first time Aisha had locked herself in her secret room, and there is always snacks, desserts, and ready-made foods stock in her room.
Aisha opens an another sour and cream potato chips, crush it while it's still in the package, and once it's crushed, she pours the crushed chips into a bowl with spoon.
The De La Torre famiglia was once the most strongest famiglia before the Lumière famiglia was born. Even now, one wouldn't dare to go against Aisha's famiglia, but why do they still do it?
Aisha could only think of three reasons; one is they are a lot stronger than the De La Torre famiglia and doesn't fear us; two is they want to overthrone the De La Torres power; the last one is that they held grudges against the De La Torre famiglia.
Other than the Lumière famiglia, no one is stronger than the De La Torres, and Reid had already confirmed that the Lumière famiglia won't have any war with the De La Torre famiglia. Although, it wasn't a hundred percent sure, at least Aisha can hope that a negotiation is still valid between the two famiglias.
If they want to over throne the De La Torres, Aisha couldn't help but to scoff and roll her eyes, they can try if they can.
The last reason is the most probable one. Humans are prone to be defeated by their emotions. De La Torres has offended many people, not to mention, they are in a mafia world, so having lots of enemies that wants your head is normal.
According to Aisha's investigation, after their famiglia was massacred, they manage to survive because of the help of this one strange old man. He's your normal type of man who earns minimum wages, but because of illness, the old man dies.
Afterwards, they work in a prostitution in disguise of a bar that the De La Torre famiglia once raid and that's how Aisha found them and save them.
Aisha gave them shelter and education in exchange that they will pledge their loyalty, but in the end, they betrayed her.
Or is it a part of their plan? To get closer to her, earn her trust and get as much as information, and use it against her.
But Aisha didn't know anything what the De La Torre has done to them. They aren't the ones who massacred their famiglias, and Aisha had search what happened for the last century, the time where the De La Torre famiglia is created, and didn't find any connections with them.
Unless they are...
When Aisha thought about "that" possibility, she let out a dangerous, cold laugh.
They are really testing me, huh, Aisha thought dangerously, well then, I wasn't name as the ruthless Queen for nothing.
"The play will now start."
