Chapter 44 - Carnation 42

Saccharide Heinz

Paris, France: S. Heinz Condominium

Go, boy! You can do this! And maybe tonight, you'll get the bed on fire!!!ᕙ(ಠ ਊ ಠ)ᕗ

- Racquel

The more times I read Racquel's message, the more heat I feel on my cheeks. I laughed before gripping the bouquet of carnations in my arms as if they were Raine. Racquel helped me with preparing for today's date with my girl.

She lectured me a little bit because of what happened yesterday but thank god, they were released not guilty by the inspector because of the lack of evidence.

I closed my eyes and let the carnation's fragrance enter my nostrils. When the elevator sound rang, indicating that I was on my floor, I composed my posture and exited the metal compartment to go straight to my room.

Looking around, I noticed that the guards I left for patrolling were nowhere to be seen. The atmosphere was quiet, too quiet for his comfort. My feet felt the strangeness of the ambiance so they scurried to my room.

Before I could open the door, Phoenix exited with no expression on his face.

Until he saw me—

"Hello, my liege..." he smiled.

My eyes widened so I pushed him out of the way, left the bouquet of carnations in the living room, and searched for her. My heart exploded when I saw her in the kitchen, preparing something.

"Raine!" I called out to her and hugged her while stroking her hair. "Oh! Thank God!" I exclaimed and felt my voice screeched a little.

"Saccharide..." she spoke my name but I continued to sway her around in my hug.

Then why was Phoenix there...?

Pulling away from her hug, I looked her in the eyes, up and down her form to see if there was any particular sign that Phoenix had done something to her.

With a soft voice, I asked her, "What did Phoenix do?"

"Well, your Father..." she muttered.

Just as I was ready to react, I heard him, "Oh nothing, Son..."

The voice of the monster, "Phoenix just picked up a few lemons for our tea party, right Raine?"

I'm too caught up with my concern for Raine, the minute I saw Phoenix that I didn't notice him sitting there with his military uniform on, his hair was messy and instead of ash grey, most of the strands were blanched in a white coat. His happy expression while tormenting his victims never changes. It's the same smile he wears.

The fuckers old, he should've died soon...

Raine stuttered and held my hand tightly, "It's true Saccharide..."

I looked at his old face and snapped, "Then you can also tell him to forget about the gang"

"He can count me the fuck out of that gang!" I added.

"That could be settled... Anyways, I'm cutting your financial connection to the family," The old fucker threatened me but what he doesn't know is that I didn't use his money to live.

I've kept it rotting in my basement.

I knew this time will come where I'll need all this money.

I can finally use it for my future with Raine.

I softened my eyes before whispering to Raine to stay in our bedroom while I talk manly things with my Father. She looked at me first with fear but her expression hardened as she refused to follow me.

"This is between all of us if there's a settlement that needs to be talked about—" she said with determination, "—I'm part of it!"

The general laughed before taking in all the contents of the boiling tea, "See? Your girl gets it, Little Demise!"

"Don't fucking call me that, old fucker," I muttered and kept Raine close on my side.

"It's like listening to teen me while arguing with my Father," His black eyes threatened me as he stood up and walked closer to the both of us.

I stood straight and kept eye contact with him, not afraid to reply, I said, "I'm not you. I'm not going to hurt my children and I'm not going to use them to spawn imps in hell"

"Oh come on! Don't pretend that it's not fun to break this girl until she becomes your slave..." He smirked, this time while looking at Raine who was cowering behind me, "But what I don't want with your slave is that... She's turning you weak. Heinz is supposed to control, not to be controlled"

I took a step closer to him and flapped my hand like a puppet before changing my voice into a mocking tone, "Blah blah blah. Old man stuff. Old man stuff!"

His sly grin didn't leave his face as I continued to talk trash about him, "Get out!"

That was my final resort before his tensed shoulders relaxed and his eyes softened like an innocent citizen among the people of Paris, "Alright then..."

He looked at Raine and smiled, "Thanks for the tea, my dear. It'll be nice for my grandkids to come out from you."

Smiling to Raine, I gave her a reassuring peck on the lips before placing her head on my chest for a comforting hug. We both felt his deadly stares at us as we cuddled each other while he was ready to take his leave.

I kept my eyes on him, he faced his back and walked outside the kitchen but stopping halfway his turning, he looked at me and smirked.

So long, Old Fuck!

"If only I'm not going to ruin your life" the old fucker proudly declared,"—so much that you'll be dead before you know it"

That was it! His declaration of War...

"If war is what you want, I'll give you your own demise, Father" I replied with a monstrous crack of a grin on my face, that made him frown.

If I die doing it, I'll have 4 more lives to spare on this girl beside me...

Third Person

Paris, France: S. Heinz Condominium

General Dèmise finally met his match. And looks like, his rival came from his own flesh and blood. Mostly, sperm. But still, that what they always put it.

He looked around the living room and smiled. His son really got rid of all of the cameras inside the condominium.

What's this?

He stepped on something crunchy.

It was a bouquet of Carnations.

Being him, he'd probably step on it until it turns into unrecognizable ashes but he licked it up before placing it on the couch, instead.

Phoenix entered the room and was obviously waiting for his command. The boy didn't expect the general's warning to work, considering that a garden was burnt to the ground, plus two people were murdered.

The girl's two best friends were made suspects but their bond was not scratched by anything or anyone in particular.

The general's eyes as they gleam with rage, he commanded, "Make their life a living hell..."

One more thing...

"Oh yeah and the dead guards... Leave them at the front door for their surprise" he cheered at his brilliant and gory gift idea while the blonde-haired boy nodded.

This spring will spring with blood.

All the flowers will be watered with the crimson liquid of death.
