In a certain city in England, there was one girl, tall, black, silky hair, pure white skin, dazzling beauty and not to mention, Rich, she was the embodiement of what I came to hate as a woman, I once found myself wondering if I would start to like ugly girls because of my hate for the twins, but that was a foolish thought, because there was the existence of Mellia who was astounding, but to go back on track, this black haired girl was handed faith in the form of a magazine and that magazine was, as you would have, the Elegance Models, Kids edition, that my picture was in, cruel fate still had it in for me, because all rich women has one dinstinctive trait that is common in all of them, and that is their possessiveness, as the 6 year old girl skimmed through the magazine her mlotion stopped on a page depicting a certain boy and with her eyes slowly evaluating the boy and interest for said boy was born.
"Lucea, we have been getting these magazines for you to find a suitable fiancee, but are you finally interested in someone", the Girl's Father posed the question.
"Yes, Father, I would like this one"
"the girl's Father was a Japanese man with the typical black hair, which she inherited from him and her mother was a elegant, beautiful, English woman, with white hair, the girl, Lucea, was a half Japanese, half English, with two stunning parents.
"My baby girl, are you sure about this guy, I don't know why but he doesn't seem all that likeable"
"and what would you know about likeability, you foolish man", asked his wife
"now, now, Father, Mother, no need to argue, and yes, Father, I like this one very much"
"but, daughter, even If I don't like this guy, calling him 'This one' as if he is an object is kinda"
"Oh please, Father, he is going to be my property anyway, so Can't I do what I like"
after saying this the little girl stepped away.
"why am I getting a serious sense of from that", shouted her Father.
"Inoki, is that because she reminds you of me when I was young"
"yeah, that domineeringv attitude, thinking that anything you like is your property, is just like how you used to be"
"is it but I wonder why you are talking in past tense, because even now you are my property, you know that right.
Inoki laughed nervously"
"and I guess that boy reminds you of your brother in law's younger self, didn't he.
"that little shit could never be as cool as he was when he was little, although I hate to admit it"
the wife laughed and this peculiar family sat their sights on Japan, where I lived as the Devil's plaything.
"Back on my side, I was living a life of imprisonment after the Devil's stripped their disguise and reared their claws at me and my family back in the slums, 24/7 I was being watched by black suit lackeys, my only passtime was playing spot the differences between the black suit lackeys who looked like dopplegangers, at least 99% of them looked the same and you had to try hard to find the 1% difference between them. I casually looked at their face once in a while to see if they would react to my staring but to no avail, they did not even blink in the span of two minutes that I was staring at them, I was eager to smash open their skulls to check if it was wired like a robot's because of the way they act"
One other thing that happened frequently was the twins constantly coming to check on me. I forgot to tell you the reason I was here, I don't know if you remember how I ran to slums, Yeah, I was punished for that, the punishment ewas being locked up in my room for two weeks without food, I sometimes thought about how Mellia was faring after what happened that time, but that was another story, yeah so as I was saying, thois punishment was nothing to me who had to scrape up scraps from leftovers that was more likely to be left for stray dogs rather than us in the slums, two weeks without food did not faze me in the slightest, I am 100% sure that if it is hunger it would not be a suitable punishment for me, being who I am, but as I was saying before the twins came in my room sometimes to check on me, most of the time it was just the big sister following the little sister's whims. one time I remember her marching in with a coffee table carried by the black suit lackeys, and as that was placed to one side of my room, another round of black suit lackeys walked in with trays of food and placed them on the table, then the more devilish of the twins the one who you would think was the most Angelic because of her smile sat down rather elegantly and started to eat right in front of me, but what she failed to recognize was that a strategy of torment like this would never work on me, I cannot even count the times I saw the human scums eating all the nice food and all I could do was just watch them, she saw this and changed her way of attack.
"Luchas, my love, I could give you some of this, but you will have to do something in return"
"and what would that be, my Lady"
"I would like a kiss on the lips"
"and why do you think I would indulge as if I was a fool, lest you forgot what happened a few days ago in the slums"
"Nay, I remember all that clearly, even the bitch who thought she could take you from us, and why are you talking a gentlemanlike, it does not suit you, so stop it.
"My lady, it does seem like you two twins are quite different, because it was your big sister here that coached me in how to talk like this, she stated that I was not to talk what she referred to as 'slum talk' in front of her, she said that as I am hers I should talk like this whenever I am in her presence"
Love turned to Fate.
"Big sister, is this true"
"it's as he said, if he is to be a man worthy of us the least he could do is sound like it, I wonder what mom was thinking bringing in a man from the slums to be our husband, exempting his tempting face, he has nothing that makes him worthy of us, but as the woman that I am, I cannot pass up his face, so I will groom him into a man of my taste"
Suddenly Love lost her smile"
"And when you do that what would be done if your taste in him is not to my liking, because if you want the truth then here it is, that gentle and elegant way he talks is just not doing it for me in the slightest"
"Well if I groom him into a man of my taste all you need to do is just live with with, because you are the younger one, and if you don't like that you can just look for a man on his caliber"
"you are one heartless person you know that big sister, you know it would be hard to find a man to match his looks, all I am saying is that I liked him more when he talked like a brat, it was more tempting than how he talks now, and you cannot seriously be using 'because I am the younger one' thing on me, when you were born just a few minutes before me, so can we not compronmise as He is mine as much as yours"
without a change in expression, just a slight change to the sterness in her voice she answered,''NO". and from there came and endless back and forth about me, at this point the feeling of being the subject of a conversation that would change my life was no stranger tom me anymore.
after the two weeks passed the Boss woman came back after abruptly saying she had business to take care of and leaving us in the hands of a caretaker for the two weeks and dropped a sudden boulder on my back"
"Luchas, you will be adopted by a family and they will be coming today for you"
"Stop the joking, you bitch, I do not need to be smart as your twins to see that this place you call an orphanage is in name only"
after hearing their mother's words the twins ran over, because of this it was just my previous words that I managed to say.
the big sister, Faith was first to complain
"Yes, mom, I need an explanation, because as he said I thought the whole thing about our home being a orphanage was just so you could get custody of Luchas Legally, so why is he going to get adopted I am not seeing the reason"
"I guess I have to" destiny sighed and started speaking.
"As you know, Elegance Models is a talent company that deals in other talents, than just modelling, like acting, Idols and such, I am the director of this Branch stationed in Tokyo, Japan, what you did not know was that this company is a multi-national, meaning it's headquarters is stationed in another country namely England and I was recognized for my skills and appointed as the head of the Japan Branch, so what I am getting at is that they are people higher than me, namely the owners of this Company, the Grapevine Family, and their little bitch of a daughter just had to set their sights on Luchas who I handpicked for you girls, after investigating, they found out he was here with us, and as I am close with one of it's head namely the girl's Mother, she caught on that this orphanage thingy was a facade and she posed me a deal"
Destiny started to recall her talk with Lucea's Mother, Claudine, after getting the call from them, Destiny met them in one of the companies meeting rooms.
"Long time, no see, Destiny", shouted Inoki"
"Same to you, Boss"
Destiny, why are you being so distant and polite, is it because you are apart of our Company, there is no need to, are we not all friends from highschool, come here and sit beside me for old time's sake", said Claudine.
after they reminisced about their past over feelings of nostalgia and laughter, Claudine abruptly changed the subject.
"I heard something interesting, it was that the Son of the Beauty couple from our Highschool days was living with you in an orphanage you built, and the strange thing is that orphanage is your own home, I have known you for a long time and evaluating your thinking, this was the answer I came up with, the so called orphanage is a facade that you used to get the boy and your real intention is to let your twins marry the boy, am I right and I guess you just wanted to feed your lost love too.
she tried to feign ignorance, "I do not know what you are talking about plus there was not just one beauty couple back then, was it, there was two, what was it again the Two Beauty couple's of Akari High which was you and your hubby over there and Luka Gravy and Inose shirotome"
"yeah, I guess we were", Claudine chuckled.
"But we are only here for one thing, we want that boy, I am sure you know that my Hubby's Family, the shirotome family adopted Inose as my Hubby's little sister so by that reason, it would serve us to say that the boy is my hubby's nephew, isn't that so, but I am sure something like that wont shake you, so here's a deal, seeing as you have that orphanage facade up, why don't you allow us to adopt Luchas into our family and for you I will see to it that you manage not only the models of the Japanese branch but the entire talents stationed here in Japan, and as you should know, our Japanese Branch is the one making the biggest profit as of late, what say you"
"I was waiting a long time for this, but to think it would come this way, I am still reluctant to give you our little vampire but I know your personality, so I guess I will take your generous offer while it still stands"
"I am glad you know me", Smiled Claudine
"but I am curious as to why you called him a vampire before"
"I am sure you remember the time we asked what Inose liked about Luka and she answered, 'you know about Luka, I just feel like he constantly sucked the love out of me like a love sucking vampire', it looks like our little vampire got that love sucking trait from his father, because the funny thing is my Geniuses came to me and said exactly what Inose said back then"
"Is that so, we all laughed at her when she explained that to us we were like 'how can that be', but we had to shut up in the face of her seriousness, we will come for him tonight, is that alright with you"
"okay, as you say"
she finished her littte backtracking, "that's how it is so say your goodbyes while you still can if you do not he will be gone before you know it"
"so mom, you just took it as they told you and did not do anything because the position enticed you that much, you can't just bring a man in our lives, make us fall for him, then let him leave us like this, Mom, I know you love money but to go this far", Love shouted at her mom.
before her mom could utter a word it was Fate who slapped her sister, "I know how you feel but do you really think mom did this for the money, you may not know this since we lived our lives looking down on people but there are people wh are higher than us in this world, so mom is not at fault, do not take your anger out on her", while crying she reprimanded her sister like the big sister she is"
after seeing that episode, Destiny smiled and turned to me.
"and what say you, Luchas"
I looked on her with determination in my eyes
'If you are really smart, you should know that, I will never want to stay here even if I see those two cry, what can you expect after all the things you did, plus I don't get these bitches tears, are they really crying because of me going away, because I remember that, I, the man they claim to love, begged them on my knees to not harm Mellia but just because of their twisted jealousy they still did, I was living here quite happily up to that point but after that"
Destiny placed her fingers on my lips.
"you can stop, so to sum up, you are more than willing to go with your adopted family because you hate us, and it would suit you more to go with strangers than live with us for another day, is that right"
she placed a stern glare on me while looking straight into my eyes as if to see my resolve, but at this point I was already locked in full so I met her gaze with mine and said.
"I am glad you are good at summarizing, you get the Idea perfectly"
and just as I said this, I heard the doorbell ring, a ring that would change my life, like the change from winter to spring, if I was cringe, I would have called that doorbell, the Prologue to the Springtime of my Life"
