Her POV

They say that when a man learns to love, he must bear the risk of hatred. Hatred. That's all I know right now. No love. They killed my family. They killed my heart. And they took my only hope. My child. I will surely make them pay for this. They cut my wings. They took my heart away. They turned off the light in me. So tell me, how am I supposed to keep it together and not be the devil that I was supposed to be? They demanded for my wrath. I am as obedient as a robot could be.

I leaned on the table with my right hand supporting my bored face while the other hand was laid above the wooden table, tapping it. The sound of my fingernails hitting the object is the only thing that everyone can hear in this room. Those fingernails used to look plain but they are now colored red, bloody red. I gave a quick glance at my visitors who were standing like robots in front of me and my silent monster princess who sat in her usual place in this office room. One of the visitor's stood nervously but trying to keep it for he is a man, ego comes first. The other one was just looking at the floor, her unusually colored hair almost blocking her pretty face. The only thing that I noticed were the two Katanas that Alterra was holding. Meron pang isa sa kanyang likuran.

"What news would you like to share to me, reapers?" I said coldly, breaking the silence. However, the effect of my tone was like a snow storm passing by. It made them shiver on the inside.

Nag angat ng ulo ng ang babae bago nagsalita. "The Master's will, Lord Third."

The first answer that they heard was the sound of my sister's hiss of disgust. 

"I am not interested." she said. She hates the old man. She despised Sebastiano and his death doesn't even concern her. But I know deep inside, he loved the man. There are just things not settled between them. Sebastiano once caused her pain and until now, she cannot forgive him.

I nodded at them to continue. Mr. Yamazaki did the talking this time. "He wanted the both of you to have all his estate since you are the only living descendant." Panimula nito. Ngunit alam kong hindi iyon ang tunay na ipinunta nila rito. Meron pang mas malalim na dahilan. Meron pa silang nais na sabihin at dapat ko iyong malaman. Tiningnan ko lang sila at hinintay na magsalita. Mr. Yamazaki went to me and handed a small white envelope embossed with roses. "His real last will, my Lord."

Tahimik lamang ang aking kapatid na para bang walang pakialam. Binuksan ko iyon at isang puting papel ang nasa loob. Laman nito ang huling habilin ng ginoo gamit ang kanyang sulat kamay. Tahimik ko iyong binasa at hindi napigilang mapakunot ang noo. 

"What is it sister?" Tanong ng aking kapatid. Iniabot ko sa kanya ang papel at maging siya ay ganoon rin ang reaksyon.

"Do you mind explaining this bullsht that he's asking?"

Nagdadalawang isip sila kung magsasalita pa ngunit mas nangibabaw ang takot nila dahil sa naging pamamaraan ng aking pagsasalita. My now bloody red lips mouthed words that sounded like that of a devil. I can feel my awesome devil form.
