Humanity: The Last Hope

Chapter 1.4: You're Doomed

      "One, two, three. One, two, three." Paulit-ulit na binabanggit ang mga numerong nakalagay sa aking palad.

This guy infront of me is my bodyguard, Cyrus. I have assigned him to stalk and report every moves of a certain man who has been ruining 'my' reputation, I asked Cyrus to take note and remember all the things he will notice, and now he's infront of me - and i was counting and analyzing a code.

Nagbuntong hininga ako saka siya nginitian, "May naalala ka ba?" Tanong ko sakanya matapos niyang bitawan ang palad ko. Tumayo ulit ako ng tuwid at saka siya tinitigan.

"Yes, I'm certain it's those numbers." Satisfied with his answer, i smiled - it turns out my suspicion was right. Now I just have to bring that man down.

"Thank you, Cyrus." Tumango siya pero nakikita ko sa mga mata niya na nagtatanong kung para saan ang pinagawa ko sa kanya. I stared at him for 5 seconds, sighing. "Do you have something to ask me?"

His eyes slightly widened but immediately turned back to it's normal uninterested look before he nodded. "Why are you interested with these numbers?" I smiled at him.

There's no need for you to know what's behind these demonic numbers. It's a code you know?

It's funny how he looks cold and snobbish when in reality - he's a curious awkward pup. I giggled, resulting a confused look on his adorable face.

"I'm simply trying to help. No need to worry about this, Cyrus." I walked away with a smile on my face, leaving the dumbfounded Cyrus on his place.

I've came to know that this man, a principal from a prestigious academy is using our name for their funds. It's shameful, using our name to bring their funds up for their own greed?

It's infuriating. Don't get me wrong though, I'm doing it for myself - i don't care what happens to my parents' company. I would rather live with the poors than with these fakes here.

As i was walking towards my office, i caught a sight of mother talking to a grown up man who seems to be the type of guy who can manage a company quite well. Looks like mother is planning to trap this guy in her puppetry and own him as hers.

My eyes turned cold. Gazing at them from afar, seeing my mother intentionally flirt with the grown man makes me want to puke blood and my organ, what a disgusting sight to see.

The grown man saw me from the corner of his eyes, and I immediately put my mask on. "My~ i see we have a visitor here." I smiled at the old man which he also returned with a warm smile, i stopped on my track - shocked. That's quite unexpected from a rich old man.

By far, all the grown up men i've met were disgusting, unworthy, and a plain 'a sight to see.'

"Is this your daughter, Margaret? She's indeed a beautiful woman, she's much more beautiful in person." His smiles are so pure and it radiates a sincerity, just by staying by his side would surely cure my disgust in men and my stress. I silently smiled as i stare at him, the fatherly aura is surrounding him.

"Yes, she's my daughter." Mom didn't looked at me or even introduced me, so i did it myself.

"A pleasure to meet you, I go by the name of Tiara Syryl Alvios." I politely introduced myself and bowed as a sign of respect. He smiled warmly at me and i returned the smile.

"I'm Timothy Dorman, I'm one of the business partner of your Father. How are you dear?" His eyes' wrinkles as he smiled widely, i also noticed a cute dimple on his right cheek, it's adorable.

I was about to speak but Mother beat me to it. "Mr. Dorman, i believe we have to discuss about the deal now." My warm bubbly feelings in my chest immediately began to grow cold.

"Oh! Right! We have to go now Tiara, take care." He smiled at me one last time before mother walks away.

"I pardon the intrusion." Hindi niya na maririnig ang mahinang paalam ko dahil nakalayo na sila because of Mother.

I heaved a sigh before walking back to my office.

Umupo ako sa mesa ko habang tinitignan ang mga papeles na ibinigay sa akin ni Cyrus at ng hired investigators ko.

"Mmhh.."

Their sudden growth in profit was because of them using my name, all based from false rumors and gaining alot of attention from mostly nobles of high ranks - that school was made for people who cannot afford to pay, yet they, those corrupted selfish human trash - used my family name for their benefit.

What a scum...

I didn't noticed that the paper was crumbled in my fist because of my anger. Huminga ako ng malalim para pakalmahin ang sarili ko.

I have decided, i will banish this old man and removed him from his title and position. An insolent trash don't deserve a title.

"I will end your paradise."

I looked up from the high building of my school, it's structure were that like of a letter V, emphasising the bright colored gold lining that hanged on top of the tower, its flag that has the insignia of my family's crest were violently dancing with the air.

My sharp eyes silently analized the students, the colored majestic brown were neat and it seemed like they were taken with great care. But most of all, they are all from a rich family. I walked towards the student who has wavy brown hair, conversing with other female students.

I wore my angelic smile before i excused myself, "Goodmorning, ladies." They stopped talking and turned their attention on me.

"Who are you?" Answered the girl from behind the wavy brown haired girl, i looked at the female again and quickly remembered the face of a certain royal family, i hid my anger and swiftly smiled.

"Are you the heir of Ducagon Familia? Daisy Levoir Ducagon?" She smiled brightly dashed to my direction.

"So, you know! I'm so happy to meet you! Are you a transferee student?" I smiled, shaking my head. "No, i'm just paying a visit."

"Oh? Are you an important person here?"

I restrained myself from smirking, "No, I'm not."

"Oh, i thought you were. I suddenly remembered Princess Tiara's graceful figure when I saw you." She bashfully said, scratching her cheeks with her finger. I spared no time with her useless idle and gracefully bowed my head.

"That's impossible. Now, if you may excuse me, Lady Ducagon." Not waiting for her to say anything, i walked away from that spot. And decided to take a stroll first.

......

It's lunch break and it is crowded by a lot of nobles, i try not to leak my angered expression too much at their ramblings and boasting - for my reputation would fall straight to hell. As soon as the nobles saw me, i quickly hid my face under my hood. I chose to disguise myself to not cause a commotion.

After the long walk papunta sa dean's office, i knocked for three times. It didn't take too long before they opened the large door. As soon as they saw my figure, the proud and cunning look from their face was soon replaced by fear and turned pale.

Did they saw death? If you may ask me who's death is, it is the person smiling sweetly at them.

"Greetings, businessmen. I am Tiara Syryl Alvios, I request for a meeting now." Jumping straight to the point, i didn't let them speak or ask. I will put an end to this corrupted environment.

To be continued....
