Good Girl Gone Bad: Queen Of The Underworld

"Do you know how they died? Seven months ago, at country H, city A's mass shooting. If only, they didn't act as heroes, they probably survive but, they saved as many people as they can. I wasn't there, and if not for my resources, the government will just put another kamikaze to take the blame. Yet, no matter how much torment I put them through, they wouldn't tattle who was the real person behind and what was the real purpose." Seraphina scoffs.

"I could still remember their bloody body when I retrieve them -- huh, probably they annoyed those felons that is why I couldn't even count how many bullets they inflicted. I swore to the devil to kill every person involved with their deaths. So tell me... Ryu, are you the person behind that massacre?" Seraphina's voice cracked yet she finished her question with great effort.

Dragon patiently listens to her every word. He could feel the pain that lingers on her voice -- as if those people she refers held great importance to her. The more Dragon listen to her story, he unconsciously grits his teeth as his back stiffen.

When Seraphina ends her story with a question, Dragon momentarily stares at her indiscernible gaze. "I am not." Said Dragon with his classic monotonous voice.

Though Dragon was asked for a certain favor regarding that incident, he found the idea stupid and a waste of time. Hence, he rejected the offer even if the cost of it was a dispute from the other party.

"Huh," Seraphina scoffs in dismay. "How about Dr. John, where is he?"

Dragon froze in an instant Seraphina mentioned Dr. John. How can she know regarding that matter?

"Ryu… I mean Dragon, did you really love me?" Seraphina emotionally questioned yet, there was not a trace of anticipation on her. Seeing Dragon's reaction was enough for her to get his honest answer or so she thought.

"Sera…" Dragon began to worry as he somewhat knew where it was going. He wanted to explain his side yet, Seraphina raised her hand gesturing him to keep his distance.

"BULL!" Seraphina shouted, she shrugs in disbelief and prepare to leave. Alas, Dragon will never let this misunderstanding come between them. Thus, he desperately followed Seraphina.

*BANG!*

Dragon's immediate steps came to a halt as his gaze altered from his abdomen and towards Seraphina's figure holding a gun, aiming him. His hand involuntarily reached his bleeding injury.

"You should have just lied like you always do. Lie without batting an eye and I'll pretend I have no idea but… it seems this delusional love I created is bound to doom no matter how I blind myself." Seraphina's voice cracked as tears started to form and fall on the corners of her eyes. Just as she turned her head away from the bleeding Dragon, she added,

"Right, that project is a huge epic fail -- a waste of money and resources." With that note, Seraphina continues to take stride away from Dragon. However, her steps came to a halt and her expression darkens the moment she heard him call her name.

"Sera -- no --"

"Sera?! That girl died! You killed her, Dragon -- powdered her heart with no chance of survival. The person before you is not Sera but Luciano. Oh, surprise? Funny right? One minute we're on each other's neck by the next second, we are on the bed -- n_a_k_e_d." Seraphina ridiculed by how funny their current situation.

"That wound is the last gift I can give you… you better kill me tonight because, I'll surely come after you if I survive this night." Seraphina turns around and left Dragon who's already on his knees.

Just as Seraphina rode the taxi she robbed earlier, she sped away with tears clouding her vision. She could feel her heart clenched by the second, limiting her breathing.

'It hurts…'

Whether it was her heart being ripped out or her contracting lower abdomen, Seraphina winced before she accelerates her speed and screamed her heart out.

She didn't know how but the last thing Seraphina remember was a blinding light coming from behind her that reflected on the rear mirror before a loud crash and a powerful impact that throws her whole body out from side of the car.
