186 Sisters 1 (1/2)

The beautiful sky blue finally made its entrance to the world above, slowly replacing the redness of the horizon from the east.

Several meters away from the sobbing men, behind the cluster of relatively tall and thin birch trees, soft white light faintly rose from the ground, vanishing together with the feminine silhouette of a slender but perfectly proportioned body.

It was Sofony who teleported away from there.

She would have loved to check out the interesting place she had forked out of that mercenary's mouth, however, the matters that took place yesterday needed her immediate attention, plus, as someone who barely knew a thing about the Empire's suspicious project or stronghold in the desert, it would be utter stupidity to charge in there.

Wouldn't she be courting death if she does that? Not to mention she was exposing herself to another host who would mostly become an enemy, it was also like she would be offering her head to them for them to play with.

She laughed.

'Better send people for probing first. But I'll have to make sure no one from there is alerted.'

'Act only once thoroughly prepared.'

Hence, after deciding this, she headed back to her home city.

Before venturing out to an unfamiliar territory, the troubles and aftermaths in Alina City would have to be settled first.

...

”Second Miss!”

It was Aura who rushed into her side from her vacation at the mesmerizing resorts and sceneries at Yaca Province, one of the most beautiful island province of the country. Diaz was of course with her. The two of them looked as though they did not even have a good sleep due to worrying. The five hours ride must have been agonizing for them as they had to think whether their employer was okay or not.

”I'm sorry that I had to summon the two of you back despite promising a week-long vacation.” Alessa apologetically smiled as she received them at the door of her unit.

The three went to the living room to hold a proper conversation there. The two ladies took their seats while Diaz had first scouted the place to make sure no bug or anything suspicious was left by the intruders by chance. Alessa did not stop him, knowing this was only what could put his mind at ease.

”Second Miss, I'm glad to know that you're okay.”

Alessa exhaled and then met her female assistant's eyes. ”I'm also happy to be okay. It's carelessness on my part. I must have grown complacent due to thinking that she'll only sabotage me at work or social gatherings. I didn't know that her hate, or perhaps, wariness of me has reached this stage.”

Aura was silent at first and then pulled up her huge tablet from the traveling bag that her husband handed over to her.

”Thankfully, Mr. Meyer arrived to rescue you, Miss. This 4:30 am too, he sent us something, the details of what really happened. The two of us also double-checked, and it was indeed a hit put over your head.”

At the mention of that man's last name, the beautiful hazel-eyed woman looked away for a brief moment. Her fingers curled into her palm as brief sadness and distress flickered across her face.

Diaz, who finally finished his inspection went back and took a seat opposite Alessa, next to his wife. He added to Aura's statements,

”They planned to kill or kidnap you. Then once news about your death or disappearance is out, they'll put up the news about the other people that received the death threats.”

”Who are the others?” Alessa asked.

”Many from Dazzle, the First Miss' company, and Starlight. However, from Dazzle, despite everyone there receiving the same email that you did, the targeted people had only been those who always oppose the First Miss. But at most they would only have their legs or arms broken. Nothing very serious which will lead to death or comatose. They planned to have you the only real casualty.”

”It's quite an obvious attack. However, nothing will be traced to your sister since she's not the one who contacted the hitmen, but someone very unimportant. This person, unfortunately, has already vanished. Maybe already dead. Silenced as to not become a testimony against her.”

Alessa could only shake her head while she listened to the real ins and outs of the happenstances a few hours ago. She felt lucky that her life was saved. When thought out more carefully, she only gained more reasons to be thankful to Chris. That man might have chased her away from his home last night. But when he learned about the threat to her life, he arrived faster than lightning.

With puckered lips, she commented,

”It sounds terrific yet simple. But actually the one thing I dreaded about this is how efficient and silent she was when carrying out her plans. That sister of mine... is quite scary.”

”Second Miss. It must have been the incident in the awarding ceremony which causes you to be summoned by the head. It's just that her move is very exaggerated considering that she is there when the meeting happened. And the head did not truly speak anything of great importance regarding you there. What is she afraid or panicking for?”

She snickered at Diaz. ”Amelia Morgan simply doesn't want me to ever enter again the doors to the main house.”
