Chapter 260 - The LAB

After everything that has happened for the day, Seraphina decided to rest her tired body and mind. Staring at the obscure ceiling, the only source of light inside her room was the waning lonely moon. Though it appears small tonight, oddly enough, it can still bring light to the darkness of the night up to her silent unlit room.

Sighing heavily, though she decided to rest -- sleep just won't come. Indeed, for the past few days, Seraphina finds it hard to sleep as whenever she closes her eyes, she can hear the agonizing screams of the people she had killed and continuous gun shooting that always occurs to her life.

This means to say that even though Seraphina toss aside her morals and commits unforgivable crimes -- she doesn't forget the burden from her sins. Though she lost count of the people that died for her, her mind won't pretermit the unimaginable number of those souls. Whether they are comrades or enemies -- they haunt her the moment she closes her eyes.

Lightly shaking her head, Seraphina shakes off the familiar feeling she neglects for the past few years. Sitting up, she travels her gaze on her obscure room out of habit. This feeling of foreboding loneliness starts crawling on her; that no matter how she shrugs it off, it won't stop tugging her almost non-existent conscience.

It's insane -- it makes her slowly lose her mind and if it continuous, Seraphina might just snap. "this won't do." she mutters before hopping out her bed and went through her closet.

Quickly scrutinizing her clothes, Seraphina realizes that mostly, her clothes were all cute dresses. For a brief moment, she realized that for the past month, she purchased too many girly stuff that she hadn't enjoy for too long when she inherited the name, Luciano.

However, though the expensive and cute dresses tempt her, she wasn't in the mood to dress up. Hence, grabbing a simple v-neck shirt and denim jeans, Seraphina headed to change her pajama to head off somewhere to cool herself off.

After she put her black sneakers, Seraphina languidly grabbed a leather coat and left her room as it is. Reaching the parking space of the family manor, Seraphina didn't hitch on the numerous cars as she pondered for a while.

Moments of contemplation, Seraphina turned her back against the luxury cars and just went straight at the gates of the mansion. Seeing that the young miss was walking her way outside, the two guards on duty bowed their sluggish body.

Though they are baffled as to why Seraphina was leaving without a ride, neither of them dare to question as it's in the rules and they know their position. Hence, courteously opening the gates, they watched Seraphina leave the premises without a word.

Holding her phone, Seraphina waited for the taxi she booked online. Fortunately, though she only uses her phone for important calls and emails, alas, she can be considered a technology illiterate in terms of other social media apps and such -- despite the fact that she was adept into hacking which is the irony of it all.

If it wasn't for the occurrence a few days ago when the effect of the drug on her system was still intense, she won't bother playing with X's phone who has lots of application for his convenience. Hence, since it piqued her interest, she also installed different social media apps and other convenient apps such as food delivery apps and call a cab online.

After seeing and confirming that the sedan was her driver for the night, Seraphina nonchalantly hitches a ride going to a certain night club. Pondering for a while, she opened her phone and dialed Wren's phone number.

After a few rings, Wren's apalled voice went through the line. "What the hell? You have WeChat now?" He inquired the moment he saw his phone ringing and was stunned silly seeing it was from an app and 'Beauty' was calling.

He recognized her from the number that Seraphina uses and was also reminded that to cope up with her boredom, she confiscated all their phones while they were planning about infiltrating the state prison in country Y.

"where are you?" Seraphina's unenthusiastic tone ignore his inquiry as she spats her own question.

"err, I'm in a business meeting," Wren answered as he was indeed called by a sudden meeting while having a meal. Surely, his life a businessman was much busier than being a button man in Seraphina's organization.

"I said, where are you?" repeating her question as she didn't get the answer she wanted, still her tone didn't change.

"The LAB." Wren who had his brows furrowed as to why she was inquiring his location, he still answered. Alas, after he spat his location, a sudden bad premonition crept on his heart.

'why do I feel that something bad will happen?'

Just as Wren would ask Seraphina why did she want to know, the line was cut short which made the corner of his lips twitch as he looks at his phone in disbelief. Retracting his gaze back on the woman he was having a 'meeting' with, Wren awkwardly smiled.

"Sorry. What were you saying again?"

After knowing Wren's location, Seraphina told the driver about the change of her destination which he agreed after hearing that she will double her pay. Soon, Seraphina arrived at the nightclub for elites name The LAB.
