- Chapter 6 -

The new day slowly dawns, the morning light creeping over the horizon. A new day, fresh with possibility and unseen dangers.

Everything is quiet, still, as if the world is holding its breath, waiting for the inevitable events of the day to unfold.

With a determined look in her eyes, Helia springs out of bed as soon as she's awake. Today's the day, the day her and Anna will execute their plan to bring Toji down.

Dressing quickly, she slips into her maid uniform, smoothing out any creases. The pain in her back is still present, fueling her determination to make Toji pay.

Within moments, she's out of her room, scanning the corridors for any sight of Anna. She's her partner in crime today.

She finally spots her, a familiar face in a sea of maid outfits. Anna's eyes meet Helia's, a glint of determination in them that matches her own. It's clear Anna remembers the plan, has it seared into her mind.

She nods, a firm, resolute movement of her head, as she walks closer to Helia. There's no backing out now.

"Let's do this." Helia whispers, her voice devoid of fear.

They repeat the plan to be sure that nothing has been forgotten.

"I'll go into his room." Anna starts. "I'll make sure he finds me alone."

"Once he's there..." She swallows hard. The most dangerous part of the plan. "I'll use my charm."

Helia nods in agreement. "Then I'll find an elder to take him to Toji's room."

The thought of Toji being humiliated, being seen in such a vulnerable, compromising position by an elder, it's too good to pass up.

"Perfect." Helia murmurs, picturing the Zenin clan member's face twisted in surprise and indignation.

"The scandal." Anna chuckles, clearly relishing in the thought. "He'll be the talk of the compound."

Helia takes a deep breath, the anticipation building in her chest. The plan was set, everything in place. It was time to move.

They set off down the hall. Helia's heart beats loudly in her chest, the adrenaline now pumping through her veins.

She's never been more nervous...or more excited.

[...]

They finally arrive in front of Toji's door. With a final nod to Anna, Helia hides. From her hiding spot behind the wall, she keeps a vigilant eye out, her heart rate increasing with every passing second.

This is the moment of truth, the point of no return.

Anna stands in front of Toji's door, looking every bit the picture of innocence and charm. She smooths down her maid uniform, takes a deep breath, and then gently knocks on the door.

There's a moment of tense silence where time seems to stand still. The corridor is deathly quiet, not a single sound to be heard except the soft, muffled beating of Helia's heart.

Then, the door opens. And from the room emerges the imposing figure of Toji Zenin.

He stands in the doorway, his tall, muscular frame filling the space, casting a deep shadow over the area. His eyes fall onto Anna.

"Good morning, sir. I came to clean your room." She speaks in a confident tone.

He leans against the doorway, his gaze scanning over her with an almost predatorial intensity. His eyes roam over her form, drinking in her curves, her delicate features - a silent, almost hungry appraisal.
