Madness of Duke Venomania [complete]

Act 03 - Madness...

At 03 - Madness...

===============

Remembring the past brings bitter to his mouth.

Gakupo gripped his old photo frame and throws it down the burning hearth of the fireplace. He was going to erase his past...and every traces of it. His old, ugly past...that no one should ever know.

No one in town recognized him anymore. That he was once the ugly freak they used to mock and humiliate before. People forget those that don't hold much siginificance to them huh? He chuckled. Its a good thing. He was not the same as before. The old him, the old Gakupo had already died. He was now the Duke of Tyrian....also known as the most outstanding guy in the whole town., also called the Duke Venomania. For he almost has a poisonous venom in him. He has a venomous charm....where every girl and woman falls for him.

He throws away his old photos, the paintings, the frames....every single bit that has him on it. He burned all of them. He wants to forget that face. That wasn't him...

..for he was reborn. A new person born with hate and vengeance.

And he has everything....everything a man wants. And more than anything, he finally has the girl he loves on his side....Gumina. He smiled on her.

His lovely Gumina...who makes a fool out of him, in front of other people. He was hurt alright, and that incident triggers everything. But thanks to that, he was born a new. He wouldn't achieved what he was today.

Everything just for her.

"As long as you're with me Gumina, everything's alright. I'm not gonna be alone anymore...I'm not gonna be hurt anymore...coz' you're mine...and mine alone," he said.

Gumina stays solitude in that room....among his collection of women who stays in the lowest level of that basement. She stays on a special room he prepares only for her. Among other things, Gumina was the very first girl who falls for her. She's too precious for him so he confined her in that room.

He was torn between sanity and lust. Maybe there was still humanity inside him...

That night, he drowns himself with wine. There was a battle going on inside him. He was talking to himself...arguing with himself, the other devil within him. But in the end...the devil won. It started when he remembered the past. The moment he was burning the old photos...his old self this morning. The fire of hatred was consuming him...and awakened something inside him.

He went to that special room, where the door was hidden with a heavy draperies. There was a storm going on outside, unpredictable since it was fine this morning. The heavy rain was pounding on the windows accompanied by flashes of lightning and the roar of the thunder. But he was particularly calm tonight. It's as if he was swimming in the water...silently...clearly...

He approached the heavy door and turn on its ancient knob and went inside. The first thing that welcomes him was the scent of old rose...ahhhh...so alluring.

It was dim inside, with only the surrounding candles lighting the entire room...it was rather a warm and romantic ambience...just a perfect setting.

There was a huge bed in the center of the room. It was covered with a soft netting. He slowly approach it and removed the entire netting.

In it was Gumina..soundly sleeping...his most prized possession. He touched the skin on her bare arm...smooth and silky. She woke up upon noticing someone's on her room.

"...Duke--," she said.

"Shhh---"

"What is it?" she asked as she sat up.
