Miscellaneous Lofty Scarlet Stiletto [English Version]

Blood Rose

The dinner next day went smoothly without any hitch, even Dad took his time to eat together. It was quite unusual for a busy man like him bothered to arrange his time to join the dinner. Usually, I am just alone accompanied by extraordinarily luxurious dishes served on the table. Maybe he just wanted to see how I was doing with that mission.

Actually, nothing really interested me, except for the girl who was about to meet her death. Well, like when I was with Michaela in the past, I gave her the opportunity to feel how it felt to be in love at least once in a lifetime. Then, over and over the girl who died in my hands should be grateful because I really was not that cruel, right?

After dinner, I invited her to see a small garden in my house located precisely near the swimming pool. Actually, I could not say whether that place is small because in reality the garden's area in my house can be used as a golf field, just to let you know. That is why I only invited her to take a stroll around the pool. The time I had was not enough to accompany her to explore the garden in my house, not even in its quarter.

"I want to say something," I suddenly said while we both were staring at the night sky. That night, the weather was quite clear so we could see the stars scattered in the sky clearly and it was truly amazing. I could not deny that night felt dazzling. The romance appeared at that moment could be used to beautify my deception.

Alicia looked at me and honestly, I knew that her heart was beating very fast. Nothing special, it was just because I was holding her hand and my other finger happened to touch the surface of her pulse. So it was natural that I could feel the tempo of her heart without bothering to use a stethoscope. I unconsciously smirked before staring back at her. She did not answer anything, maybe she was out of words. It was just my assumption, I did not know, it could be because she deliberately let me continue my sentence which I purposefully hung.

"I love you."

" ...."

She was silent for a few moments. Then it took a few seconds for me to conscious when she mercilessly slapped me straight away. Honestly, I did not expect anything like that would happen. I never predicted that sort of outcome would end up upon me. A hot burning felt spreading on my cheeks. It had been a long time I had not felt anyone else slapped me like that besides Dad. That was why I have said before, my mission at that time made my Dad beating me all out.

"Liar!" She shouted in front of my face. While my blood felt boiling. As if there was smoke came out of my ears. Luckily I did not want to deal with sharp objects this time. For information about to let you know, I prefer using sharp objects to using firearms.

" ...."

At that time, I was silent and said nothing. Let her finish her sentence.

"I'm tired of lies," said her in a trembling voice, but sorry there was no slightest guilt in my mind, not at all. "Just Dad is enough, who lives with the lies he always tries to cover up ... " she looked at me and stayed silent momentarily until she broke into tears. "And now it turns out that the person I love ... you, Varian, how can you live around mafias?!"

'I'm done, I really screwed up.' I really cursed myself at that time. Do not misunderstand me, it was not because I was afraid if my mission would fail, but rather I would lose my lives if Dad somehow found out.

"Now what? You want to kill me ?!" she snapped meaninglessly. Seriously, she thought after saying that I would let her alive? Then begging her not to tell anyone about this problem among us with the actual background?

Everything was already uncovered and I could no longer delay not to kill her straight away. With only one move I pulled one of her hand then locked both of his arms back with my hand. Since my palm was much wider than her sleek arm. Suddenly the girl screamed out and her cries broke out. There was no help for it, shouting as loud as she wanted would not help her situation at all.

Honestly, I do not really like screams, it surely makes me uncomfortable. In addition to feeling insecure and haunted by the feelings of fear of being caught. A shrill voice like that is really annoying. Immediately I grabbed Alicia's hair which was neatly tied. She used blue flower-patterned pigtails made of velvet. Straight away her hair suddenly was messy just because of one touch from me.

"Vari ... an" Alicia groaned a few seconds before I sank her head into a swimming pool.

"Nah, you have to be quiet like this Alicia. Your voice is annoying," I snapped. Meanwhile, Alicia's body tried to break away from my hand which had fully locked her arms. Just imagining the water immediately broke through into her nose and mouth made me grinning again. The stronger she rebelled, the stronger I pushed her head into the pool without mercy.

I loosely laughed. At first, the girl was still busy rebelling, then she slowly showed signs of not being able to hold her breath in the water anymore. Until her body was feeble and did not react to anything. Only then I forcefully pulled her head from the pool. I threw the girl's body out of the pool with one tug. Thanked that, there was a sound like throwing a sack of fertilizer on the floor.

I looked at the poor girl's body with a flat face. There was not the slightest emotion that seemed to adorn my face. I really turned into a cold-blooded animal.

Slowly I approached the girl, standing right beside her. I crouched down, my hand touched her neck, looking for the pulse point. Certainly, she was still alive even though her pulse was very weak. A little strangulation could have killed her right away. Instead of ended her suffering immediately, I preferred to play with her first.

As though a prince, I elevated her body. Carried her to a room in my house's basement. Water from her hair dripped made a line of a trace. She was still stiff and unconscious.

I arrived at a dimly lit room. Inside the room, there was a bathroom with a bathtub and also a shower room inside. My hands felt cramped enough because of carrying Alicia who was nearly stiff. He was unconscious until now. Even when put down her into a bathtub she still did not budge.

She was accompanied by the red rose petals whose colours were exactly like the colour of thick blood. That was one reason why I really like red rose because its petals always remind me of the exciting red blood colour.

Water flowed when I turned on the faucet. It was as if the water came from the pool a moment ago was not enough to get her soaked. Some flower petal floated around Alicia.

I smiled and left her for a while. As the water continued to flow, I locked the door of that special room.

It would be amusing and excruciating for both of us.
