Assassinator's Pleasure

Chapter Fourteen: Red's Plan

It's already three in the morning, but Red is still awake in her room. Besides her bed, there is a small table, and there is a small black notebook on the top of it. Red flashes a wicked smile before getting her notebook to look for the names that hurt her in the past. On the first page of her notebook, there is a picture of her with a baby girl in her arms. Staring at her old photo, Red can't help but plaster a sad smile on her lips when she recalls the past that is now fresh in her mind. And then, Red found herself crying because she couldn't accept that her baby was now dead, stimulated by the woman she loathed the most. As she was crying on her bed, Red turned her hand into a tight ball while she was clenching her jaw since she couldn't wait to torment the woman who killed her baby.

Even though it happened in the past, until now, Red can't accept the reality that her baby is now gone. In addition, Red can't help but feel guilty because she didn't protect her baby from the woman she abhors the most. Thinking about how her baby died in the past, Red can't stop herself from crying whenever she remembers the painful scene that she can't forget. While holding the photo of her together with her baby, Red looks at herself in the mirror and she looks disorganized and in pain.

She was in the middle of crying when she heard that someone was knocking on her door. To her curiosity, Red gets up on her bed and wipes her tears before opening the door. As she opens the door, she sees that it is Melody holding a small box in front of her. For that reason, Red can't hide her confusion in front of Melody, the maid in the West Mansion, just like her. Looking at the box, Red didn't understand why she felt uncomfortable for an unknown reason. When she looks at Melody, Red notices that the woman in front of her is also confused about what is inside the box.

"What is that, Melody?" Red asks with a furrowed forehead.

"I don't know, Red. I was planning to get some water when I heard that someone was ringing the doorbell. At first, I thought it was Ma'am Violet, but I was surprised when I saw this box outside, "Melody explains to Red.

"Then, why are you knocking on my room, Melody?"

"That's because the box has your name," Melody answered Red while she was still staring at the box that she was holding.

For a moment, Red got confused since she didn't expect a package. Besides, she knew that she hadn't ordered anything online. Even though Red is confused about the package, she takes the parcel in Melody's hand before closing the door to her room. After that, Red didn't waste her time and opened the box, which she was surprised by because of what she saw inside. Inside the box, there were different kinds of knives, and then, she noticed a small piece of paper that had a written message on it. It says in the message that she can use the knives in her plans.

All of a sudden, there was a wicked smile plastered on her face because of what she read. Red can't hide the fact that she's confused about the person who gave her a set of knives, but she's thankful because the odds must be ever in her favor, and she will use that chance to get revenge on them. After scanning the weapon inside the box, she hides it under her bed since Red doesn't want others to know her plan. Minutes had passed when Red decided to sleep with a big smile plastered on her face.

"Can't wait for my plans! This time, I will make sure that you will be dead in my hands, Violet!" Red mumbled before closing her eyes.

Outside the West Mansion, Dustin parks his car near the playground in the village, then he looks at Violet, who's still silent at his side. Earlier, she was wearing a mask, but now Violet chose to take off her disguise since Dustin already saw her in Dark Stallion. Violet is sitting beside Dustin, and she can't help but feel uncomfortable with the way he looks at her. Instead of explaining herself, Violet chose to remain silent since she didn't want him to know her plan. Besides, she doesn't want to explain why she goes to the Dark Stallion on her own.

"You're not getting out of this car until you don't explain what happened earlier," Dustin let out while he kept staring at Violet.

"It was nothing, Dustin. I just want to buy something in the place," Violet replied to Dustin while she was looking outside the window.

Dustin took a deep breath because of what he heard from Violet. Even though Violet answers him, Dustin is still not satisfied since he felt that there was something that Violet didn't tell him. For that reason, Dustin can't help but feel confused because of her actions in front of him. In addition, he's not a fool to not know what kind of place the Dark Stallion is. He knew that place because there was a time that he visited that place in his past because of the woman he loved the most. That's why he knew how ferocious that place was.

"Don't lie to me, Violet. I know that you are hiding something from me."

"Fine! I'm just looking for someone! Happy now?"

"And who is it, Violet? Is it a man?"

"It's my best friend, Dustin. Don't worry, Dustin, I'm not planning to betray you," Violet blurted out with a serious expression plastered on her face.

"I know that, Violet. I know that you do not betray me."

Rather than answering him, Violet smiles at Dustin before getting out of his car. As for Dustin, he didn't understand why he got frozen when he saw Violet was smiling at him. When he saw that Violet was already inside their mansion, Dustin chose to leave the place with a big smile on his face. While Violet was already inside their mansion, she didn't waste her time and went to her room. Although she's guilty of lying to Dustin, she can't easily tell him that she was going to the Dark Stallion because she's looking for the group that hurt Nickel. That's why she chose to keep it a secret from Dustin about her plan for assassinating the group that mistreats Nickel, her instant baby.
