Chapter 201 - the beginning of the end II

Seraphina hailed a taxi towards the other direction of Dragon's place. Since she was unsure if someone is still stalking her, Seraphina would want to take a stroll for confirmation.

With a brown envelope laid on her l_a_p, Seraphina's brows arc. Yes, she was curious about its whole content yet, Seraphina kept her curiosity at bay.

Probably, she was afraid that inside this envelope, she might find something that she doesn't want to know.

Retracting her gaze away from the envelope, Seraphina suddenly winced by the abrupt pain on her stomach. She was already in pain earlier or to be precise, ever since she left the research facility.

But, Seraphina shrugged it off as she thought it was probably the after effect of the experiment. Also, it was tolerable and it would only contract every once in a while.

Alas, this time, the contraction felt much worse which made Seraphina grabbed at something she can get ahold.

After a minute of pain, it slowly subsided until it was completely gone. Beads of sweat form on Seraphina's forehead as she felt that was the longest minute of her life.

When Seraphina repositioned her posture, she accidentally knocks on the brown suspicious envelope which made the content slip out.

"Damn," she irritably cursed out. However, just as Seraphina was picking up the envelope, she had a glimpse of its content which made her heart stop for a moment.

This time, it wasn't a photo of Dragon. Instead, it was his activities for the past year. Although Seraphina only saw a very little part of it, alas, that one sentence alone made her whole body tremble -- not in fear but in anger.

"Country H controversial mass shooting"

With her trembling hands, Seraphina finally garnered the courage to see the envelope's content.

One doc_u_ment was Dragon's every move for the past year. It was as if Dragon recorded it himself by how detailed it was. Seraphina was instantly alarmed by the person behind this.

Considering her power as Luciano, alas, Seraphina could only have a glimpse or have no idea on Dragon's activities.

Seraphina didn't dwell on his illegal activities but instantly read the part on what caught her interest.

Seraphina's jaw tightens the more she read about it. She could feel her breath falter as her hand clenched into a fist.

Slowly inhaling then letting it all out, Seraphina wordlessly reached for her phone as she dialed Dragon's contact number.

After a few rings, the call went through. Alas, both didn't utter a word and just scrutinized the meaning behind their breaths.

"Meet me at our honeymoon place." Seraphina emotionlessly stated then immediately cut the call.

--------

"Meet me at our honeymoon place."

When Dragon heard her voice and how cold she delivers her words, he instantly knew there was something wrong.

Though the man held to his organization's code of silence, alas, Dragon as keen as he was, he already got few basic yet critical information based on the man's body language and mannerism. Hence, he unhesitantly shot him in the head and throat before heading out to meet Seraphina.

------

By the time Dragon reached the obscure hill-like place where they could see the bright and beautiful city lights, a pair of eyes as dark as a black hole that can suck someone's soul if not careful enough pierce his.

Her sweet and bright smile whenever she was around him was gone -- it was as if Dragon met a complete different person.

Soon, the still atmosphere turned more suffocating along with the harsh night breeze. After some time, Seraphina finally broke the nerve-racking silence.

"I have a confession to make… five months ago, you asked me why I drink so much -- I said because I was sad but… that wasn't just the reason. True, it was because of my dear friends Pam and Wil, but they didn't break up, or to be precise, it wasn't their choice." Seraphina tattled, exclusive enough for Dragon's ears. After a paused, she continues,

"Both of them, after so many years, they finally had the courage to retire -- I was happy for them. After those non-stop bickering, they finally found the courage to be true in this world full of dishonesty. But, just one month before their wedding, they died." Seraphina slowly breathes in then out as she closes her eyes then opened them once again yet, aside from pain, her gaze also contains hate and murderous intent.
