Mafia's World

Chapter 8: "A nighttime Escape"

Continue...

Silhouette is rarely went outside, not because anyone prevented her, but because of her own choice. She avoided interacting with others because they treated her differently, thinking she was only adopted. To avoid trouble and not embarrass her family, she chose to stay indoors.

Her parents never clarified to the public that Silhouette was the true first lady of Flemente.

What kind of parents are those? They couldn't spare even a little time for silhouette. In the ten years their child was gone, shouldn't they love her more because of those ten years they owe silhouette and need to make up for it. or maybe they just don't want to admit it because they're ashamed of her.

Silhouette was weak compared to Caspei, who was skilled with guns, while Silhouette excelled academically.

If beauty was the only criterion, Silhouette—oops, I mean I—would definitely win, hehe.

I was on the balcony, letting the wind brush against my skin. The breeze here was so pleasant. From here, I could see the community, and the sky was beautiful tonight, is filled with stars. I started to think that maybe one of those stars was my mom.

"Mom, I miss you so much," I said in my mind while looking at the bright stars.

I decided to go out and explore the Moonlight Empire, since it was nighttime and no one would recognize me.

I put on black wide-leg pants, a black t-shirt, and a black mask to cover half of my face. Dressed all in black, I looked like Catwoman now. is okay just to be sure that if anyone saw me, they wouldn't recognize me.

I was ready. I walked to the balcony to jump because I couldn't go through the Flemente's door, too many people would see me there.

Suddenly, my door opened, and Myra and I locked eyes.

"Lady Silhouette, what are you doing?" she asked, confusion evident on her face.

"Shhhhh, lower your voice or someone might hear us!" I quickly hushed her because her voice was really loud. Though it might be normal for her, to me, it sounded like a speaker.

"Why are you dressed like that, Lady Silhouette?"

"Because I just want to!" I immediately responded, making an excuse. I'm sure that anyone would be suspicious if they saw me dressed all in black. they might think I'm a thief if I weren't so pretty, hehehe.

"Are you sure, my lady?" she asked, and still suspicious.

"Yes, okay fine!, I'm going out. I just want to see the outside of this room, it's been so long since I last went out," I said with a hint of pleading. I didn't understand why do i need to explain it to her.

"Ahh, alright, my lady. But may I come with you?" she asked, with head bowed.

"No way!! Um... I mean, no, you can't," I said, raising my voice slightly.

No, myra you can't come with me. I know that if you come, I won't be able to do what I want as juliet. If you come, I'll have to pretend, and if that's the case, I might as well stay home and sleep. i said to myself.

"Okay, my lady. I'll wait here until you return."

"Alright, if you say so!", I quickly agreed, worried she might change her mind and insist on coming. Plus, if someone came-in in may room and I wasn't there, it was good that myra would be there to make an excuse for me.
