Be My Apocalypse

CHAPTER 5

I woke up feeling groggy. My head feeling like it is about to burst. Damn alcohol. I haven't felt the side-effects last night but looking now I regretted going to that party. Curse Theodore and his family for arranging one. The only good thing that happened is that I spoke with the famed Vollerei's heiress. Who almost killed me according to Grant. Thinking about it maybe I'd be better off killed in her hands. But then again I wouldn't let myself get killed before I get to sleep with her. Thinking about it now remembering those luscious lips and her golden eyes looking down on me. Such a bliss. I was interrupted in my daydreaming when I heard my phone rang. I reached out for it and checked who was calling. It turns out to be my secretary---- Harriette Xylo, the very secretary who left me hanging last night.

"What do you need? It's still too damn early for any of the company concern." I asked annoyed as I recalled how she left me last night before the party even started.

"Awww... and here I thought you'd at least miss me." Damn her and her cheery personality. She's not usually this cheery unless something good happened last night.

"Fucker..."

"Aww... you're so sweet, but let's get to business. Someone requested your presence, Sora."

Hearing the codename only known in our family knew made me sigh. Sora is the identity I use in dealing underworld things. And I obviously hate it. Since I am an only child it's natural for me to inherit every thing my parents own especially the position of my mom as one of the "five beasts of the underworld". Being Sora separates my life from the outside. No one knows I am Sora since I always wear a mask which was broken due to one fight with someone. I could've replaced it but I think it looks cool with just half of my face being seen but clearly feared. My mother was a fearsome woman but was tamed by my father who was an ex-police and the CEO of the Huxier Empire.

"Understood. I'll be there in an hour." I replied to her. "And one more thing Harriette, you better make a good excuse why you left me last night. And why you need information about Ashleigh Lyfa." I added and ended the call.

I made my way to the bathroom connected in my room and turned on the water to fill the bathtub. As I was waiting for the tub to be filled I stared at my reflection in the mirror and realized how messed up I became.

"Steel yourself Sora... It'll be over soon." I told myself. But who am I kidding here? I know it's not a one-time thing.

I heard the water dripping from the tub a sign that's it is full. I stripped off my clothes and let my body relaxed in it. As I was in the middle of relaxing I received a call. I didn't bother looking at the name since the first thing that came to my mind was Harriette. But, oh boy how wrong I was.

"I'm fucking bathing what do you need? I told you I'd be there in an hour didn't I?" I bombarded the person on the other line.

"Did I call at a wrong time?" I was stunned. The voice hat I just heard was not from my secretary--- Harriette as I was expecting. It was from none other than Ria Vollerei.

"I'll call later then." She added.

"W-wait."

"Hmm? Aren't you busy?"

I sighed. "I can make time for you. Besides I thought you were my secretary that's why I answered like that."

I heard her chuckled. "Pffft. I pity your secretary then."

Oh please that damn secretary of mine had done worst to me. I thought. But it hit me where did she get my number? So I asked her.

"Where did you get my number."

"I have sources Huxier don't look down on me." Of course, I know that she's from the Vollerei alright.

"Why did you call then, Lady Vollerei?" I asked her off the bat

"Do I need a reason to call the famed Huxier's heiress?" She asked with a hint of smug in her tone. It's true she can call me anytime or anywhere and I'd still answer it. I was about to answer her when.

"I called to check up on you. It was such a shame I didn't get to kill you last night, oh famed Huxier." She added. Her deep cold voice almost sounding like she's a man gave me chills. Check up on me huh? At least she cares about my well-being.

I smirked "It is true that it is such a shame that you didn't get to kill me last night, Ria Vollerei."

"I've always been afraid of death but the thought of you as my grim reaper doesn't sound bad at all." I added. I heard the other line felt silent and when I checked up on it, I saw that she already hang up. Coward.

After bathing, I headed to my closet and picked a long sleeved white t-shirt and paired it with a high waist denim skirt with a slit. I picked out a Louis Vuitton for a sandal and got my mask. I headed to my bed and picked out my gun and my sword in my bed's secret compartment and places the sword in my back and my gun on a holster in my leg.

As I got out of my room I noticed our house in total chaos. It was the after effect of what happened last night and I don't blame the maids if they haven't cleaned it up yet. I ignored the mess and gets to a secret elevator connected to our basement.

I was welcomed by the stack of cars from different brands stacked up and preserved in it. I carefully pushed a button of the car I've picked and gets in the elevator again to proceed to our driveway. The car I've picked is an ash grey McClaren Senna. I got in the car and drove to our base.

After a while I arrived at our base and was greeted by our agents. I was soon seen by a young woman with a long white hair and a pair of blue pale eyes wearing glasses and was wearing a black long sleeved polo with her slacks and black shoes.

"What took you so long boss?" Harriette asked. I didn't answered her and admired her beauty for a while, and thought if I haven't met her earlier and knew of her true colors maybe I could've fallen for this Albino woman. But I think God saved me from that fate and made her my secretary instead.

"So? You left me in that party for no reason too duh."

"I have valid reasons ok?"

Valid huh? But I truly wonder what was her true reason of abandoning me, her master last night.

"What reason? Girl problem?" I asked jokingly. "Or are you into boys now?" I added with a smirk plastered on my face. Croix you won't get away with me for leaving me behind last night.

"Something like that." She replied with a solemn face.

She added. "I had to take care of a child is that valid enough?"

A child? But whose child? Did she get pregnant and gave birth to a child without me knowing? I looked at her confused, but I didn't get any answers from her.

"Hades requested your presence that's why I called you in."

Hades? Didn't he got the mail? I already rejected him last night as far as I remember.

"What does he need? Information about his so called "imaginary" brother-in-law?" I asked quoting the word imaginary in the air.

"I don't know he didn't want to state the true reason he is here. But, judging from what you said then that must be the reason."

We walked to where he is waiting and when we finally got in the room he was in I saw him sitting comfortably with one of our agent keeping him guard by his side. Hade Heven was one of the top rising billionaire but of course he can't compare to me in terms of wealth. I can admit he is handsome with his hair tied in a low ponytail. He had the physique of a ripped man and he's also famous for breaking hearts but he is too focused on his work that even when engaged to Ria Vollerei back then he still focused on his business. Thinking about it now this man is a total asshole not treating Ria right when he had every chance to do so.

"So you've come Sora." I heard him uttered as his emerald eyes locked into mine.

"What are you here for? I remember rejecting your request last night so there's no need to come here."

I heard him chuckled softly. "Right of the bat aren't we?"

"Oh please, there's no need to make this conversation long." I stated and look boringly into his eyes.

"I'm here to change my request actually." He said and smiled back to me. "I want you to investigate on Sky Raven Huxier. I want every information about that woman."
