《》CHAPTER VI

Krystal Blake's POV

"I'm not wearing these clothes!" The Kitten yelled dramatically, returning from the bathroom in a plain white -boyfriend-t-shirt with light blue denim joggers, and I rolled my eyes at her as she was looking quite decent in my opinion.

"And why is that so?" I gave her a cold look while sitting on the bed, reading some business files. She played with her hair with her cute little fingers.... ugh, where did that come from?

"This-this-this-It's just so plain." She pouted, pointing towards her shirt, and I wanted to pat her head as she was looking like a grumpy little kitten. Ugh, Krystal, you need to stop this bullshit-

"It's okay, you don't need to wear them," I said and her eyes sparkled.

"Really?!" She questioned me innocently, making me wonder if she was just playing to be innocent or if she was thinking of luring me to escape from me.

"Yes." I answered, and she bounced on her place, beaming at me.

"Then give me some other clothes-" she raised her hand and I stared at her.

"Who said anything about giving you other clothes?" I asked and she gave me a quizzical look.

"You just said, I don't need to wear these-"

"Yes- you don't need to-" I smirked, and her eyes widened as she realized, but she smirked again after a few seconds, oh so she isn't that stupid...I see.

"If- you want to see me naked, - all you need to do is to ask," she said, smiling innocently, starting to walk in my direction, and I rolled my eyes at her.

"Don't be so full of yourself, kitten-" I scoffed, but the smirking look on her face never wiped off-

"Well - I know how I look, to be full of myself... Thank you very much." She huffed and started walking closer and closer to me in slow pace, When she was only a few steps away from me, she stopped. Ohh.. so, she is trying the most commonly used method of seduction to escape from my hands. Little did she know.

"Okay, now go to the kitchen where Max is waiting for you with breakfast," I informed, more likely, commanded by looking down at the file in my hand.

"But I seriously don't want to wear these-" She mumbled and I gave her a cold look to which she huffed and mumbled umm ... maybe, cussed.

"Okay, today we are going out, so you can get some clothes of your liking." I said sighing and I swear she exclaimed in excitement and I groaned at the high-pitched noise.

" You are the best kidnapper in the world!" She cheered, smiling and I rolled my eyes at her-

"PUMPKIN! WHAT'S THE PROBLEM? - WHAT-"Max emerged from the door, worried and panting as if he had run here, and behind him, Kartos entered the room lazily.

"Calm down! Old man: - Nothing is wrong. " I said, placing the files in my hand on the bed. I stood up from the bed and walked towards him.

"Really?" He questioned, raising his brows, and I rolled my eyes at him.

"Yes, Maxxy-" I patted his shoulder.

"Then what was that voice?" He asked and I shook my head, sighing.

"The kitten got a little excited when I accepted her demand-" I told him, and he looked at me as if I had said something weird.

"You accepted what?" He asked in a cold tone and I knew him very well, so I understood he was thinking about something serious.

"Just her demand to not wear clothes-" I said in a serious tone, and the kitten screeched behind me.

"NO-NO! It's that errrr... I didn't want to wear plain clothes, so she promised to buy me some clothes of my type." She awkwardly mumbled, blushing, totally embarrassed and Max chuckled.

"Ha-ha- Is that so - Don't worry... Miss Adriana, I don't like plain clothes either." Max smiled at the kitten, and she nodded awkwardly.

"Please just call me Adriana," she said, and Max nodded, still smiling at her.

"Let's get you breakfast-" he ruffled my hair, and I shook my head in frustration.

"You guys go ahead; I have to make some reservations-" I told them, exiting the room, gesturing Kartos to follow me and he did rush excitedly out of the room with me.

"Baby, let's get some business done first." I said, grinning towards my angel, and he licked my hand in response.

***************************************************************************

After attending three meetings, I leaned back on the chair, exhausted from dealing with dumb humans. Kartos, too, was perhaps tired after scaring the shit out of them. That's why he was now sleeping on the couch beside my chair.

I closed my eyes and took some deep breaths. Finally, after all these years, tomorrow I'm going to see her.

They had made me a devil.

Reanimated the dead,

Feverishly I will haunt them,

To me, the world is nothing more than evil,

They say I'm a soul, searching for the light.

But I can't see it in the night,

I'm only faking when I get it right,

When I get it right...

I still remember when I was a kid,

I used to believe in fairy tales,

Where no matter what happens, love's ship always sails.

But now I even question whether love is real?

I think love is just lust which is strong enough to make people think it's love,

Love is just a hypothetical concept for fools to believe.

But some say it's like a gamble,

All you have to take is a risk...

Maybe I was cursed,

Maybe I would never find love,

It hurts.

Years ago, I spent my time daydreaming about my future...

To leave the clan,

To be free,

To be alive,

I played different scenarios in my head over and over,

I had imagined it to be so... perfect.

But, as the saying goes, once a mafia, always a mafia.

A wound needs to bleed before it can fully heal,

But I don't have anyone to trust to tell me what I feel.

I tried several times, but I couldn't smile warmly at all,

I don't want to stand out at all. I want to hide, but luck was never on my side.

I have always been the centre of attention, either in my superficial life as a supermodel and business icon or in the underground world for being a 'business icon ' .

My life had been chosen even before my birth.

Since birth, I have only followed orders or learned to give orders. Nobody knows what I really want, but it's not really who anybody cares.

*Knock, knock*

The sound of knocking on the door bought me back into my senses and I adjusted my posture before calling them in.

Linda came out of the door with some files in her hand, and I nodded at her, ,telling her to say what she wanted to say.

"Mistress - As you asked me, I checked the Zodiac members" She said with professionalism and I gave her an impressed look, I like her because she always does her work seriously and she never disappoints me.

"Yes, Linda, what did you find out?" I asked, gesturing at her to take the chair in front of me, and she nervously settled herself on the chair.

"Mistress- I activated all of our moles in that group, and they all informed us that no one in the group knew such brilliant levels of hacking except their Mistress herself. She is a post-graduate in I T and was also selected for the computer engineering program. She also-" Linda recited the information from the file in her hand and I stopped her, so she was telling the truth that she was the one who hacked my account.

Well, interesting. That's what I need-

"Thanks, Linda , reward all the moles with the amount that Max permits-" I grinned and she chuckled, but then again, she regained her composure.

"All right, Mistress - I'll inform Max as well, " she said as she stood up and bowed in front of me before starting to make her way towards the exit to leave the room.

"Wait - Linda-" I called and she stopped and rushed back to her previous position, and I took out my Titan gold watch from my left hand and gave it to her, and she took the watch from my hand with a questioning look on her face.

"Take it you did a good job, Linda," I told her and she beamed, looking at the expensive watch in her hand.

After saying a few thank-yous, she exited my office and I took out my phone and scrolled through my contact list to call the Blue Pearl Private Limited office.The Blue Pearl group is fourth in the underworld, and just like us, to hide their income, they opened a fashion company. Well, they are also quite famous in the normal world for their expensive and stunning designs. Normal people have to make an appointment prior to a week to just enter their store, but I ain't no normal person- Ha-ha-

The call got answered immediately and they settled my appointment right away.

"Baby let's go home... Today is going to be a long day-." I sighed and standing up from my chair, and Kartos too, lazily jumped down from the couch and followed my steps out of the office.

As Max was watching over the Zodiac Girl in the mansion, I had to drive the car on my own. After some minutes of driving, I finally reached the mansion.

I opened the car door for Kartos and handed the keys to one security guard to park the car.

I entered the security code and opened the door and was greeted by an image of Max watching some anime series alone in the living room with a whole freaking bucket of popcorn.

"Are you kidding me? I worked my ass off and you are just chilling here!" I dramatically teased and he rolled his eyes at me.

"I'm doing my job -"

"Sure-!" I exclaimed, dramatically, rolling my eyes at him.

"Yes, I'm watching over all the exits and blind spots in this mansion so that the girl can't be successful to escape-" He said, pointing towards his tablet placed in the middle of the table in front of him, showing footage of every hall, exit, door, and window of the mansion.

"If you were doing your job, why didn't you join her instead?" I asked, raising my brows, and he sighed.

"You will know-"

"What?" I was confused and he gestured towards my room door.

"Go see yourself-" he said, and I rushed towards my room.

I immediately covered my ears as soon as I opened the door -

🎶... you scared of me

You said that I'm too eccentric

I'm crying all my tears

And that's fucking pathetic

I wanna make you hungry

Then I wanna feed ya🎶

There, the music was blasting at full volume and the kitten was dancing to the beats, swaying her hips to the music like a madman.

"KRYSTAL, CLOSE THE DAMN DOOR !" Max yelled, but his voice was hard to hear even for me. With the music blasting from the speakers, I closed the door behind me, I was glad that my room was soundproof, as such high-volume music is not good for Kartos's health.

🎶 Cause I just wanna amuse ya

I wanna be your sex toy

I wanna be your teacher

I wanna be your sin

I wanna be a preacher

I wanna make you love me

Then I wanna leave ya

'Cause baby I'm your David

And you're my Goliath🎶

The music continued, and so did the dance of the kitten in front of me. Perhaps she was unaware of my existence in the room because she was very much immersed in her dance, looking in the opposite direction of the door.

🎶 Because I'm the devil
