Chapter 8 - Sour

She took the stairs quickly, to ensure that their conversation would not be over before she got there. She was sure that whatever he was planning was harmful.

He didn't even come to visit her all day. Well, she didn't remember why as her memories stopped before she gained admission, but at least she remembered him hitting on her severally.

The balcony was situated in front of a big sort of lounge, but it was still a living room. Based on her memories, no one often came to this part of the house as there was nothing to do, and it was built for aesthetics.

But he was there, and fucking whispering. She gnashed her teeth in anger as she subtly and quietly opened the door to the living room so she could go in.

Successfully doing so, she had to make sure she wouldn't get caught, so she literally crawled all the way to where they stood, and that's when all her plans boiled down to nothing.

She could see the man he was talking to, a slightly older man that she had not seen before, but the issue was that they weren't speaking english. They were interacting in Russian. It almost felt as if they were smart enough to think about their chances of getting caught, so they decided to be alert.

This was a major setback for Sirena because she couldn't think of a single thing to do. Waiting for her food had delayed her enough.

[Task to be completed within 1 hour, thirty five minutes.]

The system told her again, and she was beginning to panic. If she couldn't even understand what they were saying, how would she fix everything?

"So, it's not a piece of cake then?"

"Are you here to make things worse or help me?" Sirena replied, whispering so she wouldn't get caught. She had almost mastered the act of not getting shocked whenever Angel took her unawares.

"I can't do anything for you. You just have to use your initiative to save yourself."

The Ai said, and her comment didn't sit well with Sirena.

"You know, sometimes I feel like you hate me."

"I'm just an ai, I don't have the capacity to hate you, nor do I see any reason to, so calm down and get to work. You've got this."

Angel disappeared, and Sirena was losing her mind as she racked her brain for options.

[Task to be completed within 1 hour, seventeen minutes.]

Sirena was beginning to panic. If anything happened to her father, she would not be able to get revenge on her husband, and the system would most definitely leave her.

In the midst of all the panic, something instantly clicked.

"Angel, Angel!"

"You called."

"I want to purchase a new skill. I still have some siren revenge points left"

"What would that be?"

"Linguistics. I would like to acquire the skill to be able to know how to interpret all the languages in the world."

"Excellent choice. Such a smart host."

Sirena smiled at the compliment, but there was no time.

The interface popped up, and Sirena began to go through the skills until she got to the one she was looking for, but she realized something.

Some of the skills can not be purchased with just two siren revenge points, while some can be purchased for lower. It meant that the skills and the points for purchase varied. This was a wake up call, because linguistics was luckily at two points for purchase.

What about next time? She was going to ask the system later if there are any other ways to earn points for future use later apart from tasks.

[Linguistics has been successfully purchased. Congratulations.]

"Hmph. You took money from me and you're congratulating me." Sirena scoffed.

"Be careful what you wish for, dear chosen siren." Angel replied, coming back to be at her side.

"Whatever." Sirena rolled her eyes, finally glad that at least, she was able to do her task.

Listening to the conversation again, she could understand every word. She tried not to get excited to avoid getting caught so she listened further, but everything was messed up. They had been talking for a while, so she must've missed some main points.

While still figuring out what they were trying to say, everything came to mind.

"It's in a safe. If we can get it, we can easily get the deed and frame him for something else!"

It was the voice of Andrew, and he sounded greedy and annoying.

"That's a good idea. We can make it work. We should be on the move now."

The man responded.

"No, wait. Before that, I'll still lay my hands on his hot daughter first, so give me time. She's back from the hospital, so I'll try to get her to let me fuck her. Once I'm done with her, she'll hate herself for rejecting me all this time."

Sirena couldn't believe her ears. He wasn't talking about her now, was he? Damn hell he was.

"He had plans to touch her with his disgusting self?

"Well, this is even easier than I thought."

She knew where her father's safe was, so she decided to alert him now that she found out but just before she could leave, she got caught.

"Sirena! What are you doing here?"

"Shit."

She said silently to herself, before turning to face both men. They walked into the room together, all smiles as if they didn't just finish scheming against her family.

"Hey. I saw you guys having a conversation so I decided to give you guys some privacy."

She responded. She knew that they were aware that she couldn't speak Russian, so she wasn't scared.

"Since when did the mighty Sirena start caring about people's privacy? As long as I can remember, you've never cared."

Andrew replied, smiling sheepishly as he scanned the length of her, clearly eye-fucking her.

"Well, goodbye."

Sirena replied, turning to leave but Andrew grabbed her by her wrist.

"Not so fast, Sirena. When will you let me make you feel good?"

It was clear that he was trying to flirt and hit on her again, so she guessed that he never stopped, even after she gained admission. She was so disgusted by his hand on her body and she wanted him to let her go.

"I don't know." She simply stated, glaring at him. She was done pretending.

"You're making it so hard for me to resist you right now with that hot look on your face. Obviously, with the way you look, it's hard to look away."

"I'm sorry about that." She replied, this time looking away, hoping he would soon let her go.

"If you are truly sorry for making me lust after you, just let me."

"No." She said it as a matter of fact, forcefully removing her hand from his grip but he pulled her back to him, this time grabbing her waist and leaning on her shoulders and inhaling her natural scent from her shoulders.

"I'll do it anyway. Look at this place. No one will hear you here, so it's best to keep shut. You'll enjoy it, I promise."

"No, let me go!"

She screamed, but Andrew was strong, and it only told her two things; he would have raped her long ago if he wanted to, and now, he didn't give a fuck about the consequences since he already had plans to ruin her family.

Why did she let herself get caught? Now things were getting sour.
