Splash!
Several young ladies gasped as they stared at the spectacle in front of them. In the middle of the crowd stood two girls. One was wearing a white dress and shivering. Her hair and dress were dripping with red wine and her makeup was smudged.
She looked pathetic.
Opposite her stood a lady with long black hair that trailed down to a thin waist, revealing glimpses of her snow white back exposed by her backless red dress. Her thick lashes were lowered veiling a set of gleaming green eyes. She delicately ran her tongue over her sharp teeth as she stared at the girl in front of her.
"Why? Not saying anything? I thought your mouth was running as fast as a speeding train just now, spitting out words they weren't supposed to.
Go on. Continue. I would love to hear all about how devilish and evil I am and how I ruined your jewelry business." Her voice was soft and soothing like a violin, a sharp contrast to the devilish smile that graced her lips.
The poor girl in front of her could only stutter. Tears trailed down her face.
"Tch." The girl red hissed. "So pathetic." She turned around and stared at the other ladies at the party. "Anyone wants to help her? I believe she was talking to someone just now, was it you?" She pointed at a girl and watched her shiver.
"Or was it you?" She switched target to the next girl and laughed as the lady stumbled and fell out of fear. "Useless rats like you dare gossip about me?"
"Sara." A male voice was heard.
Everyone in the party venue began to mumur when they heard the voice. It had its own mellow tune that seemed to stir hearts; indeed it wasn't for naught that the owner of the voice had become the most popular singer in the country.
The lady in black withdrew her devilish aura immediately, instantly turning into a little white rabbit in seconds. She opened her eyes wide as she turned around. "Third brother!" She called out delightedly. "Why are you here? To see me?" She pouted cutely.
"If I didn't come, wouldn't you destroy the whole of City H? Hmm?" The man teased.
Sara stuck out her tongue as she looked at the approaching man. He was dressed in a black suit with a sky colured shirt inside, his ong dark hair like hers styled into a curly wave. His face bore a strong resemblance to their father's sharp features and an even more striking resemblance to her own; most times they were mistaken as twins. It was no wonder they were known as most stunning sibling pair in the Capital.
"I just want to have fun! You all watch me so closely everytime!" She whined when he came nearer.
"Sure." Drew reached out and ruffled his sister's hair. His gaze turned to the woman in white in front of them, her clothes soaked in wine.
"Third master..." Noticing she had his attention, the girl called out softly. She had been shocked silly when she saw the man walk in. Everyone knew Third Master Drew was a recluse and rarely stepped out. From, the few glimpses people had of him, it was rumoured that he didn't lose out to the First Master. The lady could confirm it now. Third Master was truly handsome! An idea sprouted in her mind. If perhaps she could gain his attention and become his lover...
She didn't notice the girls around her trembling and went ahead to gain sympathy by acting pitiful. "I have no idea what I did to the Young Mistress but she... she, she ruined my family's jewelry business!" She blinked gently and tears slipped out from her eyes. On another day, she might have looked delicate, but now with her hair drenched in wine and her eyes like a koala's...
Drew turned away in disgust and turned to frown at his sister. "Made another one cry?"
Sara blinked gently. "Bleh! It's not my fault her eyes are made of liquid." Her eyes were bright and clear making her seem really pure. A little smile played around her lips. She was a like little innocent doll. Her brother couldn't resist patting her head again. "My hair!" She glared angrily at him, her fair cheeks puffed up.
Drew laughed. He faced the lady who was still crying pitifully across from him. "According to what you're saying, my sister wronged you? She ruined a business of yours?" He asked.
The girl nodded.
Drew seemed to think for a moment before he snapped his fingers. "Ah, it's fine. I'll help you settle it. Tell me, what's your family's name?"
"Anderson." The lady's eyes sparkled with joy and a smile bloomed on her face. She just knew it! There was no way any man could resist a lady's pitiful act!
Drew made a phone call. "Assistant Jin? Is there an Anderson family in City H? There seems to be? Three?" He looked at the girl on the floor, "What's your father's first name?"
" Samuel." The girl hastened to say. " Samuel Anderson."
" Good." Drew nodded. He continued his conversation on the phone. " It's a Samuel Anderson. Oh, what is my instruction?"
He looked straight into the girl's eyes and smiled slowly. "Before tomorrow, I want all their businesses bankrupted. Yes, leave them no way out. I don't want them to appear in City H again..."
"Young Master!" The girl screamed as she stood up. She was shocked out of her wits.
"What...Why... How could you?!"
"You said my sister wronged you. Considering the fact that she will be in City H for quite a while, to prevent yourself from being wronged and more of your businesses ruined, it's better for me to ruin everything now and you leave City H."
"Young Master..." The lady fell on the floor. Drew watched fascinated as the light and hope in her eyes dimmed.
"No need to thank me." Drew smiled cruelly. "Little Sara, shall we leave?"
"Yes! Let's go have dinner. I want braised pork!" Sara didn't mind the crying girl on the floor any longer and reached out to hug her brother.
"Food, food, food! All you know is to eat!" Drew held her.
Sara grinned. "You love me all the same!"
The brother and sister laughed heartily as they crossed the large hall. People around them shuffled to get out of their way, leaving a clear path through to doors.
Sara grinned as she walked confidently across the shining floors of the hall. Her heart was filled with the thrill of just doing a bad deed. Really, there is nothing as good as being a villainess! Her eyes flitted to the people around her and they hastily ducked to avoid her gaze.
Her grin got bigger.
They were just a few steps away from the door. Sara glanced out into the darkness beyond. She thought she saw someone standing there. The figure was cloaked and covered thoroughly, the dark night a smooth cover for its appearance. There was a slight movement and the figure seemed to raised an arm up...
Before Sara's brain could register that something was wrong, a gunshot was heard.
Sara felt a piercing pain in her chest and looked down to see a hole from which blood was gushing. She could hear screams from all around her as her mind roiled. How could this happen? She had barely been in City H for a day! Who was it? The Stones? The Hamptons? She had too many enemies.
Her gaze retuned to that black figure. It could be an illusion but she seemed to see deep violet eyes peering into hers...
Sara laughed. It was such a sad way for the villainess of the Capital to go. Her unwilling gaze landed on her brother's shocked face.
"Sara!" Drew screamed, his eyes filled with madness.
'Don't worry brother', Sara wanted to say. But all that came out from her mouth was a gurgle, as blood poured out. Her last feeling was one of unwillingness.
