Heiress of Dark World (Completed)

Chapter 65 : Lullaby

"Any word that comes out of that name means his own death," she stated and walked again toward Nicholo.

"Please... I'm sorry... Baron asked me to do this!" Nicholo reasoned.

What the heck!? Is he working for someone else!? Why didn't I realize it?

"To whom are you working?" the girl asked coldly. Her voice could scare the hell out of a person!

"The Tarre," he answered immediately.

"Is Baron a member of the Tarre?" she asked, cleaning her bloodied knife with her hand. She's scary... the worst horror movie I've ever seen. Oh no, this is not a movie, but a reality.

I can't imagine that this girl, who seems so innocent and has an angelic face, is so demonic and ruthless inside. Her appearance is a disguise for a monster hiding within her. No one can ever distinguish through her looks.

"N-no. I'm sorry... please... give me a chance..." Nicholo pleaded. He, too, is a devil; he played with people, and I know that. I know him too well.

"Do you know me?" she asked.

"Yes..." Nicholo answered.

"Who am I?" she tested. She's playing with him too; no wonder she's a Tarre.

"The..." Nicholo couldn't even say the word, afraid to die.

"Who am I?" Her voice became too cold and demanding. Even I wanted to answer. How did this girl do that!?

"The—the heiress," Nicholo answered.

"Wrong." In just a blink of an eye, she was already kneeling beside Nicholo, scratching his stomach with a knife the same way Xenon had! "Ahhh!" Nicholo shouted in pain while trying to stop her hand... trying to get back but useless.

"I can't hear you," she said as she buried the knife inside his stomach! It made Nicholo lay down and shout louder in pain.

She's too ruthless! This is The Silencer!

Nicholo tried to take her hand away, but she's unbreakable. It seemed like she couldn't be budged... She took it and buried the knife slowly again... and again... It seemed like she was enjoying it... I could barely look! What the fuc*! She's truly a monster! I could feel the men shivering in fear, and heck, I am too! Who could not be scared in my position? In our position? She's not even human!

What happened to her to become like this?? To become merciless and untouchable?

As if she didn't listen... as if she didn't care...

Then she suddenly turned toward us. Fear and sweat were all over me.

**Venice Claire's POV**

I looked at them.

"Please, forgive us! We'll be better. We'll do everything for you. Please..." the guy named Blake pleaded.

"Please give us a chance, your highness..." Blue begged, followed by the others.

"I'll give you a second chance, but I have three conditions," I stated coldly, which made them smile and others cheer.

"Everything! We'll do everything, whatever it is..." Blake said with hope.

"First, do not use the Tarre in vain." The Jake guy smiled widely. "Consider it done, Master!" But he received a hard look from me that made him shut his mouth. "Second, forget what happened today. Anyone who speaks of this..." I looked at Blake. "Kill him, or I'll kill your gang." He swallowed in fear but nodded.

"Lastly..." I took Xenon's body and lifted him onto my shoulder. "Burn these bodies, including him." I pointed at Nicholo, whose heart is beating lowly. Any moment it will stop.

I looked at them again; fear was still radiating from them. "If you do not meet my conditions, I'll hunt you down," I threatened as I started walking.

"We'll do it! Thank you so much! We're here if you ever need us," Blake stated while I was walking away.

"We will do great next time, so you will be proud of us!" Blue shouted happily.

"Thank you! You will never be disappointed with us again!" Jacob followed.

"Thank you, Master!" Jake also shouted, followed by the other one. I felt my eyes turn back to their normal color.

I put Xenon in one of the cars. Yeah, I stole one of their cars. I just broke the window and opened the door. I operated a little with the wiring, and then the engine started.

It was already early morning, probably 1 AM, and the others might be worried. I remembered Carlo's condo is near this place, so I decided to go there.

The moment I reached the condo, I opened the door using Carlo's password. I came here once, and he opened it for me once, but my photographic memory made it fresh.

Carrying Xenon, I laid him on the bed and called Zoey using the telephone from this condo.

The moment she answered, "Should I tell them now?" This girl really knows so many things about me but not all.

"Yes, but we'll be staying for a while." I motioned to end the call. But...

"Okay, take your time. And ow! Refrain yourself; don't take advantage of him," she teased, smiling. Tch. I truly ended the call.

I took a bath and changed into my shirt and pajamas. Then, I cleaned Xenon. I slowly pulled his shirt off. Why is he... so hot!? No, why am I hot all of a sudden!? Aish! I'm acting so weird...

I wiped a wet towel on his perfect face, from his well-structured jawline... soft cheeks where dimples showed every time he smiled. His long eyelashes made him even more handsome. Oh, shi*t! What am I saying again!?

I also wiped a towel on his upper body using warm water.

I put some ointments on his wounds so they would heal quickly. Well, I experimented with some substances from Carlo's medicine kit. Fortunately, his wounds are just in the first layer; nothing goes deep, but he was beaten up badly. I didn't realize I was already clenching my hands.

I took one of Carlo's shirts and put it on him. I pulled the cover over him, and suddenly my eyes started getting heavy, so I just lay down on the bed, not realizing I had fallen asleep. His presence is like a lullaby.
