In the midst of the plain field, a certain grand mansion is under a heavy noon storm. The sky above roared in madness, scaring the birds and other animals in the woods out of their wits as they chirped and whimpered in their nest or dens, crying in prayers. Still, nature continued to brew storms regardless, gleaming frightening bolts of thunder as they flashed in the atmosphere. 

At the same time, the grey thick clouds weep their tears down; clattering on top of the mansion's expensive roof; flooding the grassy plains, the muddy woods, the brimming lakes and streams. While the wind howled; bending the trees, the plants, and the flowers to their knees. 

However, inside the great castle-like house, instead of being disturbed by these chaotic reverberating blaring echoes; Ruhee, the Mistress of the Mansion found herself being serenaded in its peaceful pattering beats and wailing cries of the growing storm. 

The woman is naked alone inside the bathing hall; she sat inside the body of clear water, showing all her curves and angles through the transparent liquid. Her long straight hair is wet, and her smooth white skin is pinkish red from the alcohol running through her system. Her mind is feverish, but it didn't stop her from drinking more wine from the golden chalice. 

Her thoughts keep picturing a certain figure in her head. In her mind, she couldn't erase the notion of devouring those soft lips again. Just the musing of it leaves her body heating like a burning fire. Her head is full of memories that happened just recently. One where Nisha and her went to her brother's boutique shop to get their dresses. 

At that time, Ruhee just wanted to take revenge against Nisha. It was just a prank, and a child's play. It was just a simple kiss, so why does her heart feel so complicated right now? Why can't she erase that feeling out of her chest? Why do those lips keep popping into her mind?

Ruhee gritted her teeth. Because while she was worrying about that simple kiss, that rascal only acted completely normal like it was nothing to her. What's more, Nisha even stopped calling her…

Her brows furrowed as she frowned, still feeling infuriated by these despicable thoughts bothering her mind. How come she was the only one being haunted with such abominable thoughts?

Ever since that kiss, Ruhee started getting conscious of Nisha. She worried whether that rascal disliked her attitude, her existence, or that simple kiss. Ruhee can't help but wonder if Nisha is unhappy in staying with her in this mansion, or if forcing that monkey to that party would leave a bad impression. These thoughts are making Ruhee go crazy. 

After all, it felt like she was betraying her beloved Cleopatra from having these musings. 

Not to mention that she felt protective over that rascal. Especially knowing that Nisha acted all knowing despite being a virgin mary. And Ruhee feels upset that her body is lusting over that dumbass. 

"It's so unfair," Ruhee complained, then she drank the wine from the chalice in one go. Right after that, she cried out of frustration. "Why…?!"

Ruhee feels that it was so unfair how she was the only one having such dirty thoughts. Gritting her teeth, she wrinkled her brows as she put down the wine cup to the side. Ruhee washed those desires away, submerging her body even more under water. 

"Get a grip Ruhee," she murmured, scolding herself as her ruby eyes darkened from lust. "Nisha is a nemesis. Nothing more nothing less."

After sorting out her thoughts, her rumbling heart slowed down, dancing in a normal beat again. At this, Ruhee relaxed her posture inside the spacious pool. However, she still can't help but recall those memories from earlier.
