She remained still in the door frame for such a long time before she started walking forward without looking behind.
She entered her car, seated in the driver's seat, clenching her teeth tightly as her heart continues to burn because of the mixed emotion she has in her heart.
Whatever happened in the future, happens. She couldn't care less about Deneza killing her. But she will ensure that if that day comes, she will provide irrefutable proof that could not save her from rooting in prison! Even if she has a deep connection in underworld, she will make sure that they are not able to help her this time round.
To the best of her knowledge. Even if she did not go further into the underworld, she knew that the people in the underworld have a good family background outside and have a good image in society. These people will never let the public find out how or what they are in the dark. They enjoyed maintaining their innocent, nice and perfect image in public afterall. These are people who are more concerned about public opinion.
Like 'Neuf' even if she didn't know his real name, He once mentioned that his family was a well-known physician in Country A and the very reason he has medical expertise even without a licence. Well, whether you have a licence or not as long as you have a skill, it doesn't matter, because well-known physicians or surgeons will never accept such a job. They have the moral ethic as physicians and sergeons. Obviously, not everyone follows these rules. They hide in the shadows, afraid of being discovered.
It's the same with Deneza. Her family, Akagi Family, are also among the top-ranked families in Country J. The only thing she knew about her family was that they were doing business, as Deneza had previously told her. She did not bother to know more because for her, family history is irrelevant in the name of friendship.
Her brother Shawn, their Carreon family from Country P, was also one of the top-ranked families, as their family's Carreon Entertainment was among the top five in the world. Her brother Shawn was one of the best-known young models before he died. What he did in the shadows cannot surface publicly, otherwise their entertainment would be ruined for good. This is also why he did not receive the justice he deserved.
It's the only reason her brother Shawn went underworld because of their, his twin younger brother, Daryl. He's trying to find his twin brother who's been missing for five years, but by the time they heard the news, they heard he was dead.
This is also why her brother Shawn met with Deneza. The eleven-year-old Deneza. Because like his brother Shawn, the 11 year old Deneza, she has been looking for the trails of Daryl left behind that led them to cross paths. When Deneza met Shawn in the past, she had assumed that the person standing in front of her was Daryl, but as soon as she looked at him carefully, she was able to tell the difference between him and Daryl. Deneza could easily say that though they look alike, there is something different. Even the people that were with Daryl for 5 years, they couldn't tell the difference because they look pretty much alike, but Deneza can easily tell which shocked them silly.
Leilanie only met Deneza when they found a burnt 'body' of Daryl who was positively said to be really him because of the DNA test the hospital performed. Everyone believed it because the physical evidence is there, but even with this Deneza never believed, she told them that the body wasn't his, so she continues to seek other leads than Daryl left behind. The others could do nothing for her, but let her be because they believe that Deneza cannot face reality.
Leilanie just discovered that, that the reason his brother Daryl died was because he protected Deneza. She heard this information only a week after the death of his brother Shawn that she tries to process the information in her head but that only shatters her when she discovers that Deneza is the very reason why her brother Shawn is dead
While her brother Shawn was alive, she and Deneza became best friends. She also learned that her true name was Kana Akagi rather than Deneza. She was shocked when Deneza told her that, and what makes her even more shocked is that her brother Daryl gave that name to her since they couldn't figure out what Deneza was talking about when she was little. So they decided to name her Deneza, as did the people who were really closest to her. Even though they already knew her real name, they always call her Deneza. Except for Deneza's family.
Really, in the past, she used to have good relations with Deneza. Deneza was her first friend she ever had since she used to be an introvert. But who would have thought... Who knew they'd turn out like this? The first person she thought her friend would turn into her enemy? She, which she sees as her nemesis each time she sees her in public? That she keeps cursing into her heart? She hates her to the core! She wanted her dead.
That time, she was really at lost. It's like a lost soul that never knew where to go. She felt betrayed that time. She didn't know what to do because she couldn't stop remembering how she treated Deneza, and how Deneza treated her like her younger sister. How the three of them, Her Brother Shawn, Deneza and her treated themselves like a real siblings? So warmth. But then this happened.
She didn't realize her tears were falling out of her eyes. She's still crying, remembering the past. The past with the three of them. Where his brother Shawn was still alive and while Deneza was still her best friend. Whom she used to call as 'Sister Deneza'?
Her sob is the only sound to be heard in her car, but the party that cried like a baby was unconscious of that sound as her thoughts went into the past. She cried for who knows how long and she just fell back on reality and her phone rang.
She unconsciously checked her phone and saw that someone had sent her a message.
She stared in the name written on her notification for too long before she read it.
The message was from 'Nine'. What he said is very simple.
// Nine : Where are you? Are you off already? Keep in mind what I told you. Don't come any closer to Deneza. Scram from this country and live a happy life. You are no match to her. You will never win against her.
She looked in a daze for a moment before she pulled herself back together. She rolled her eyes as she thought, "Do you have to nag?"
Once she's calmed down. She breathed deeply, but before she starts the engine, she saw Deneza moving away from her vision.
She narrowed her eyes and said softly, "So you woke up?" Deneza looks like someone that wasn't beaten. She's walking as if nothing happened. She gritted her teeth as she gets her phone and dialed a number. When it connected she said. "Hello? There is someone who is lying on the ground, she seems to be hit by a car. Umn, I don't know, but it seems there's a blood, I'm not sure. No. Umn, the place is Block A from X City... Yes. Yes. Thank you."
When the other end disconnected, she started the engine and drove toward Deneza. After a while she saw her walking in the Pedestrian lane. She looks around and sees no one as this place is remote.
She gritted her teeth and advanced faster without thinking about stepping the break and when she was only 2 meters away from Deneza. She steps on the break, but it still hit her.
Well, she really did hold herself back. It won't kill her because she knew Deneza is a strong woman and she can't die easily from this. She moves backwards as she runs away.
"Deneza, Let's not meet again in the future." She said without emotion in her eyes as the tears fall from her eyes.
