Damien received a letter from Dyana three days after the party. And being the lavish woman that she is, she invites a small group of people to accompany them along with the Czar. Ash was nervous to see her brother again. She knew Czar did this to find a way to persuade her again to join the dark side. In such a short notice, Damien had to attend the gathering, but to gain more information about the Czar.The party still thrived late at the evening. As the nobles continued with their meetings, a lady entered the room stressed in pure white. All eyes that leered on Ash turned to this woman, and the room was filled with whispering.The lady in white stopped by their table, and everyone's breaths were taken away."Miss Clarissa Norwood, here, please." the model's companion pulled a seat for her in the assigned table. Clarissa, who wore a pleated, white dress and a thick blood red lipstick which matched her ponytail- placed her purse on the table and then took her seat.The woman looked p

Alone in the table, were the two men, sipping from the glasses of their wine. Richard could be seen squinting his eyes as the tangy-zesty taste of champagne wallops his tongue. On the other hand, Damien could be seen nonchalantly taking continuous sips as he had more tolerance in alcohol than the other.Richard was there, so Damien thought, why not make his life a living hell?"So, tell me, Damien. When did you and Ash meet?"Damien looked at him and chuckled bitterly. "She rescued me from the bridge and took me to the doctor."Richard knew that it was the beginning of their battle. He lets out a chuckle full of sarcasm and plays with the glass on his fingers. "I'm still in love with her. Deeply. I didn't want to touch her so I found my fun with other women instead." Richard looked at Damien's amused eyes and snickered. "You can understand that feeling too, can't you?" "What feeling?" he raised a brow. "The feeling of itch in your crotch so you decided to be unfaithful and hop on oth

Ash may have drank a few bottles or so of alcohol that she did not recognize in the gathering. The Czar had not appeared during the night and Dyana was the only one entertaining everyone. After data gathering, Damien realized that it had been pointless to appear at the party as the Czar never showed up despite him being the one giving the invitation.“Maybe he did not expect me to come along and only invited Ash?” he looked at Noel as they were heading to the car. “That could be the case, Sir.” Noel agreed as he started the engine. “If so, we should be more careful now. He knows you are the enemy.”“Though I wonder what he thinks of her.” Damien focused his eyes on the girl passed out inside the car. He had carried her all the way from the top to the first floor. “Hehe.” Noel giggled. “She looks so innocent when she sleeps. You wouldn’t think she’s got arson in her head.”Damien nodded. “You’re right.”_____Ash found herself in a very familiar place. A place she once used to call ho

“What’s that?” the Czar spotted an arm peeking out of the window from the car they were following. “Is that a gun?”Pyotr smirked. “Heh, does he really think he can make this car—”Pyotr’s words were cut off when the car speeding ahead of them suddenly explodes before their eyes. The car blasted a fire and tumbled upside down before them. "Fuck!" Pyotr tightens his grip on the wheel as the glass around their car shatters. The other vehicle flies above their car and lands behind them then explodes— dooming whoever was inside the vehicle. Pale, Pyotr turned around, breathing heavily. For a moment back there, his memories flashed before his eyes. "Are you alright, Czar?"The Czar grimaced as he held onto his seat. His blazing eyes then set on Damien's vehicle. He saw how his hand retracted back into the vehicle as if nothing happened. The Czar looked back into the wreckage as he sees the two men driving the vehicle crawl out of the burning car. They were screaming and groaning in agony.

"I'm sorry, Yuri." The Czar's world crashed before him. He had waited for this opportunity for so many years, only for her sister to reject his offer to come back to his family. The Czar would not allow it. "You can go now, Yuri." Ash told him. "Leave, and I will treat this as if it has never happened. Leave this country and go back to Petersburg. There is no need for the Sumerkis here." "You're... not coming?" "Never wanted to." Ash shrugged her shoulders and started heading back to the wreckage to help the others. "The President is looking for you. He intends to destroy you, and Damien knows who you are. I love you, brother, so you have to take my warning and leave." "You say such things so easily, Sestra." Yuri's eyes were blinded with crazy ambitions to the point where it somehow led him insane. "I love you very dearly, Sestra. Let's go home, please." "I can't do that. I swore an oath to the savior of our little brother. If there was anything that our parents have taught us
