★★★★★★★★★★★★★

#UNEDITED

"What's that in your hand?" Igor's voice suddenly said behind her, and Ksenia's eyes widened.

She quickly hid the papers behind herself before facing Igor who looks suspicious.

His eyes are on the hands Ksenia is keeping behind herself.

"Nothing... Just...my panties" she said with an awkward smile, her heart racing nervously.

No.

No.

He can't see this.

"It's either you show me your hands, or i take it forcefully" Igor said sternly.

"I said it's my pant...

Before she could land, he was already walking to her.

She squeezed the paper quickly and made to shove it into her mouth, but he was already with her.

He violently took her hand and twisted it back.

"Arhh!" She winced, and her towel fell off her body in the process.

Igor didn't even care about her displayed nakedness. He only snatched the squeezed paper and stepped away from her.

Ksenia quickly tied the towel back, breathing hard as she watched Igor unfold the paper.

As Igor read the letter step by step, she could see the layers of shock that took over his face, second by second.

His eyes were wide like he saw a thousand ghosts, and he was still on it with Sin came in.

"What's going...

The rest went back to his throat when he saw the strange scenerio, so he went closer and snatched the letter from Igor.

Immediately he did, Igor bent down and picked the picture from where it fell on the ground.

The moment he saw masked Nazeera holding him and Sin with Ivan behind them, he gagged.

Sin took the picture from him, and when he saw Ivan's face, his hands began shaking.

"Bullcrap" he muttered in utter disbelief.

"How!!!!" Igor yelled suddenly, grabbing Ksenia by the shoulders.

He slammed her back on the wall, and her hair covered her face at the exerted force.

"You're f+çking hurting me, Igor!" She shouted, her face hurtful.

"Do I look like I give a f+ck? What was that? What did I just read? What did I just see!!!!" He yelled, his eyes brimming with tears already.

Ksenia opened her mouth to talk, but nothing came out, seeing the tears in his eyes.

"Tell me it's not true! F+çking talk to me!!!" He shook her aggressively.

"I'm sorry" was all she could mutter, and Sin staggered behind them.

He was already crying too, but his emotions are just not all-over the place like Igor's.

Igor suddenly let go of Ksenia and stormed out of the room with tears pouring out of his eyes like waterfall.

"Igor!" Ksenia shouted after him,, then Sin followed him.

"Shit!" Ksenia removed her towel and threw on one of Igor's multicolored shirt and knickers.

She rushed out too.

*

OUTSIDE THE COMPOUND*

The mob kept getting crazier.

Right now even the fingerlings of The Bratva are here.

The lowly thugs and touts, the terminators.

Some of them are sitting on the tall fence, and a lot are sitting on the car trunk and hoods.

Igor pushed himself into the middle, still crying like a kid till he got to where Maya and Andrei are standing in front of the house of Orlovs.

He dragged Maya's arm, but Andrei pulled back.

"You will not take her. If you wanna vent on anyone for how she stabbed you, then do it to me" he said.

"Get off!" Igor glared, the tears in his eyes making it sinister and different from his normal eyes.

"Let go" Maya told Andrei, looking at Igor's eyes.

"But...

"Let go... Andrei. I'll be fine" Maya cut him off, and he reluctantly let go.

Igor pulled her out and Andrei followed as he took her into the house.

"What's going on?" Maya asked, but he was silent till he dragged her into Klara's office where Klara is busy talking with the top 5 about the ongoing chaos.

"We need to talk"  He muttered, and the top 5 exchanged glances with Klara.

"We're in the middle of an important meeting as you can see" Klara said.

"I said we need to talk!!" Igor yelled, and Sergei stood.

"Let's take a thirty minutes break" he told the others.

The men followed him out of the room, shutting the door behind them.

Igor walked to Klara's desk and rested his palms on it, facing her as she's still sitting down.

"Your husband Ivan... Is the father of I and Sin?" He said with shaky breaths, and Klara stood skeptically.

"Pulling this stunt is unnecessary. Are you insane? My husband has just two kids... Maya and Madden" she said with a mocking smirk.

That instant, Sin came in with Ksenia,  and Sin dropped the letter and picture on her desk.

Immediately Klara saw the handwriting, she snatched the letter, and as she read, sweat formed on her brows.

Maya came closer too and took the picture, and as she stared, she got goosebumps on her delicate skin.

She began shaking till the picture fell off her hand, and Klara picked it.

Maya froze completely on her spot, and Andrei had to hold her so she won't fall.

Klara fell back on her chair like she got pushed, and she began shaking her head endlessly.

"No... No no....no!!!!!!!!! Ivan can't do that to me! He... He can't!!!" She stood, pushing everything on her desk away violently.

She pushed the glass table away too, and it broke to shatters at Maya's feet, almost hurting her.

"Stop it!!!" Andrei yelled.

"Ivan can't be the father of Igor and Sin!!" Klara cried, screaming out insanely again.

"All the evidence are glaring. Who owns this handwriting if not Erik?, and the picture is in black and white, dated back to years ago too... What other evidence do you need?" Ksenia replied savagely.

"Take me...out of here" Maya told Andrei, and Andrei immediately complied, holding her by the waist as they walked out together.

Sin sat on the office ground and backed the wall, shaking his head with a sad smile.

He couldn't form a word as Igor resumed crying, his face depicting how hurt he is right now.

He could barely carry his legs as he walked out.

Ksenia gave Klara one last look before following him out.

Klara punched the chair furiously. "Ivan..." She muttered.

"How could you.."

She stood straight and took another look at the letter and picture before screaming...

"How could you!!!!!!"

*

MANOR*

Klara knowingly left the tablet for Adeline so she'd continue watching the chaotic compound.

Adeline is still sitting in the living room, staring at the compound footage in the tablet with dry eyes.

She stopped crying some minutes ago, and now she's doing it in her heart.

The fact that she made him promise to win the election is another thing to be guilty about cos right now he's at the brink of getting disqualified all because of her.

Maybe if she hadn't come into the clan for revenge, maybe things would have been different.

If Kimberly hasn't tricked her into coming here, maybe Madden wouldn't be facing all these because of her.

Maybe they shouldn't have met at all.

Maybe they weren't meant to be after all.

Maybe... The only things she's destined to do here is kill Kimberly and find her little sister.

Now that she achieved the two, maybe it's time to really get out of his life.

Another tear fell out of her eyes, but she wiped it before turning off the tab, then she dropped it and did a quick walk to the bedroom.

The first thing she saw was the blood moon rose which he placed in a flower pot for her.

The small golden pot is sitting on the bedstand, so she took it and hugged it to her chest.

"You might be a heir of darkness and king of sadism, but trust me... I fell in love with all your dark parts and they're my favorite parts of you" she sobbed, taking her phone eventually.

She turned it on and immediately received a mail from the house of Orlovs.

Definitely, it's from Klara.

• Election has been dragged back to tomorrow. Change of plans, get ready to leave tomorrow morning.

Adeline dropped her phone and lay on the bed, hugging the rose pot again as her eyes went shut.

*

ZHITNEVO*

Corey is in his room at the top floor, sprawled in bed and staring at the ceiling with his eyes zeroed on just one spot.

On that spot, he could clearly see Adeline's face. Just her face.

He was smiling faintly as he stared, wishing she'd stay safe and that Madden would be able to protect her till the end.

He's aware of the ongoing riot in The Bratva, all because of her.

It's the first time since it's establishment, and surely, it won't be easy to quench.

His phone buzzed beside him, and he picked it to check.

It's a notification from the underworld news.

The election has been dragged back cos of the ongoing riot, and instead of two weeks, it's happening tomorrow!

"What the...

He spranged up and was about to dial Nazeera's line when the danger alarm sounded throughout the building, reaching his room.

He ran out of the room, taking the elevator to the main floor where he saw the workers running around with panic on their faces.

He grabbed the first person he could reach... Gianna.

"What's going on?" He asked breathlessly.

"Our walls are going down, and our door locks are deactivating, even the defences are falling. We got hacked!" She replied.

"That's impossible!" Corey retorted.

Gianna grabbed a door beside herself and shut it, then she activated the lock.

Right in front of them, the lock deactivated.

"Fûck!" Corey muttered, remembering his meeting with Madden yesterday.

He took the elevator to the down floor and ran down the park to check his car.

True to his suspicions, he found a digital tracker beside the front tyre.

"Oh no" he muttered, removing it, but it was already too late cos that instant, three black cars zoomed into the park.

Corey felt his pocket for his gun, but it was nowhere, so he started running back into the building.

Immediately he opened the door, the first car door opened, and Poe jumped out, shooting him in the leg.

"Urghhhhh!!!!" He groaned, falling on the ground.

He looked back and saw the other two cars opening, then the other girls stepped down.

Loud and Malik are the only guys, then Madden himself came down last, rolling eyes immediately his foot touched the ground.

"Motherfûcker!" Poe laughed at Corey, and he quickly crawled into the building.

Madden took the lead into the building, and by the door, he got a text.

He retrieved his phone and saw it's from Maya.

Sociopath: We share the same father with Sin and Igor. Ivan Smirnov is a bastard!!!!

He just locked up after reading it, and he could imagine Maya screaming as she typed the text.

So far he's still in The Bratva world, then he has promised himself that nothing would have the ability to shock him again.

Not even the death of his loved ones 

The only deaths that'd change him completely is either Maya's or Adeline's.

And those two aren't happening anytime soon.

He clicked on his manor camera which was connected to his phone, and he easily found Adeline in the bedroom.

She's sleeping in bed, hugging the rose pot.

He faintly smiled and nearly got distracted, but then he switched off the phone and pushed it back into his pocket.

When all of this is over... He'd go on a vacation to Colorado with her like she asked.

He focused back on what's in front of him, and thank gawd he focused fast cos he was about to get shot by one of the workers.

He shot that one on the neck, and he went down with the bodies that are already on the ground.

He's the only one still standing in that angle.

Poe has led the others to the other floors, and they've killed a lot.

He's here for just two people.

Nazeera, and Corey.

He got a compass out of his pocket. It's connected to the digital tracker.

Corey removed it from the car earlier, and so far it's still with him, the compass will lead him to Corey just like it led him here with his team.

The compass pointed at a door, and he entered.

*

MAIN FLOOR*

Over fifty bodies of the workers are on the ground already, then Madden's team lost three of the teen girls already.

There is blood on the walls, on the ground, on their faces and black outfits.

Jinx and Loud are currently hiding behind a wall opposite each other, and they could hear the faint sounds of approaching footsteps.

They exchanged signals, and at once, they came out from their hiding places and shot forward.

Their shots brought down two workers, then more of the workers poured out of a room, led by Gianna.

Another showdown of bullets started, and Gianna ran off.

"I'll follow her" Poe said, smashing the head of one of them to the door before shooting her.

"Yeah... I'll take care of things here" Jinx replied, not halting her shots as Poe ran after Gianna.

Trixie arrived at that angle with the other girls immediately, darting her arrows around professionally.

She never misses a shot.

Meanwhile... At the other hallway, Malik and Loud are both on top of a very thin staircase.

Their breaths are low and steady as they waited for their meat to come out.

As predicted, a worker tried sneaking out of a restroom, and they both shot her down perfectly.

Together, they jumped down from the stairs, landing in the middle of more workers.

"Good" Loud smiled, but then one of them threw down a smoke bomb.

That instant, Malik threw down a smoke extinguisher, and the smokes cleared sharply.

"Y'all have no other weapon than the darn smoke bombs?" Malik scoffed, shooting the one who dropped the bomb.

Surprisingly, none of the workers shot back.

They're with their guns, but they ran out of bullets already.

This attack surely met them too suddenly, so there was no preparations.

The ten of them started running off in various directions.

Malik and Loud switched spots, and Loud went on a knee before the two of them shot the ten workers down mercilessly.

Their bodies landed on the ground like duffles, and Loud exchanged glances with Malik.

They both smiled before going up the stairs, climbing to another dimension.

*

Madden has been entering numerous doors as the compass led him, and it's like there's no end to the silly doors.

He entered the fifteenth one, and he sighed cos he's sure Corey is in here.

The room smells like camphor, just like Nazeera smells.

Nazeera has always scented like temple camphor, and that's why he wasn't shocked when Gerrard told him about it cos he already knew.

Corey as her child would surely inherit the stupid scent, so he's not surprised.

He saw blood on the ground, definitely from Corey's shot leg.

He traced it as stealthily as possible, and it led him to the back of a shelf.

Through the holes in the shelf, he could see Corey in front of it.

Corey is currently dialling Nazeera's number, saved as "Mum"

Madden kept up with his quietness till Nazeera picked up.

"Why am I not receiving any signal from your end? Why is my screen not coming on why is everyone not picking my calls!!!" The voice yelled.

Madden recognized that voice immediately, and he smirked sinisterly.

"Madden infiltrated into the building with his team" Corey replied, holding his bleeding leg with his other hand.

"No no that's impossible and you know it! Our walls are unbreakable unless...." 

Nazeera stopped talking at this point, and Corey sniffled.

"I'm so sorry, mother. Madden entered through me. He planted a tracker in my...

"You met Madden? You met that devil? Corey!!!!!" Nazeera yelled madly.

"I wasn't thinking, I only met to tell him about Ade and...

"You ruined my plans with your silly feelings?" Nazeera interrupted.

"I love Ade! How else should I interprete that!" Corey yelled, and that was the last straw 

Madden came out from behind the shelf and shot his second leg.

"Arhhhhhhhhh!!!!!" He cried out as the phone fell from him, and pains carried his cried around the four angles of the wall.

Madden squatted in front of him and took the phone.

The call is still on.

"Even darkness bows at my fuçking feet, so get ready, cos you won't only bow. You'd bleed, you'd break, you'd cry, and you'd beg! But one peculiar thing about me is... I hate pity, and I'm quiet allergic to mercy. Go start digging your grave, Nazeera" he said, shooting Corey again on the two arms, rendering him immobile.

"Ahhhh!!!!!" Corey screamed again, blood splurging out of his mouth.

Madden ended the call, smirking afterwards.

"Now this is exactly how Nikolai felt when you killed him back then during the cabin attack. You're behind the attack, aren't you?" He muttered.

"Mother told me to, and it was supposed to be you. Nikolai was just unfortunate" Corey replied weakly.

"Your darn mother wants me dead cos you're Erik's hidden son?" Madden smirked again, and Corey shook.

"You knew"

"I was suspicious at first, but after Maya texted me about Igor and Sin being my father's children, I knew it was for real. Who else would be the son if not you? How would you stay safe in Russia when the whole Bratva is after you if not for your father Erik's protection!" Madden snarled.

Corey smiled bloodily, agony registering in his eyes.

"Nothing goes past you, right? Even after father planted me beside you to find out your weakness as your bodyguard, you showed me nothing. You really have no weakness, do you? I guess you have wickedness flowing through your body instead of blood. And what you feel for Ade is nothing but bloody obsession. You're nothing but a psychotic man looking for who to control. You're a control freak, and you don't deserve Ade" he said.

Madden stood slowly, getting his phone to check Adeline through the camera again.

She's still sleeping peacefully in bed, hugging the rose pot.

He returned the phone and faced Corey slowly, his eyes changing and his brows stretching.

"I'd burn with her. For her. In her. I'd willingly set myself on fire if she asked me to do it... That's how far I can go for this woman, bastard! Cos I don't only own her, but she owns me too. She's the only thing holding my tiny sanity together, so shut the fûck up!" He yelled, getting a dagger from his back pocket.

He squatted in front of him...

"I don't need you at the election. Your mother is my major opponent. It's a pity you won't be able to introduce yourself to your kids. The boy is quiet interesting" he muttered.

"Wh...what?!" Corey stuttered with popping eyes, and Madden replied by sinking the dagger into his mouth.

"Ugghhuuharg" Corey gurgled powerlessly.

He cut off Corey's tongue without blinking, and the tongue fell from Corey's mouth to the ground.

"That's for kissing her" Madden muttered wickedly as Corey fell dead below the shelf.

*

MAIN FLOOR*

Poe has been chasing after Gianna for over ten minutes, but no success.

It's like she's knowingly taking her around the floors, and now they're at the top floor.

She's already breathing tiredly, but she didn't stop chasing till Gianna finally entered a room.

Poe was about to enter with her when her earbud clicked.

"We finished them off already... Where are you?" Jinx's voice came.

"At the top floor, Gianna is still standing" she replied and removed the bud before entering the room.

Surprisingly, there's no sign of Gianna, but immediately she took the fifth step inside, something gripped her leg.

"F+ckkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" She screamed, falling on her butt as her gun fell from her, sliding down the tile.

It's a trap!

She just entered a deadly metal trap, and right now, her ankle is about to cut off from her leg as her blood filtered out of the wound.

The major problem is not what the trap is doing to her leg.

It's what it's doing to her whole system cos the pains shot through her like molten lava.

Seems like the trap is poisoned.

"Arhhhhhh!!!! Ahhh!!" She cried in raw pains.

She was already feeling herself in hell when Gianna finally showed up.

She picked her gun from where it fell on the ground and grinned.

"Yunno one thing about the trap you're in? It'd take an hour for the poison to kill you, but that one hour will be spent begging for death. It'll hurt like a bîtch" she smiled.

"Arggghhhhh!!!!" Poe cried again, and Gianna laughed.

*

CLAN, KITCHEN*

Aleksandr and Angelika are currently at the dinning, though they're not eating.

Angelika has her hands clasped together, and her eyes are closed while Aleksandr watched her.

Zoya suddenly came in, happiness dancing wildly in her eyes.

"Where's Selesta? The election is tomorrow, meaning I'm getting married to Madden tomorrow morning. I need to pick my dress ASAP!" She said excitedly.

"In the inner kitchen" Aleksandr replied, and Zoya rushed in.

"What are you doing?" Aleksandr asked Angelika.

"Praying to God for Adeline's safety" Angelika replied.

"God? But I heard you saying Arabic too..." Aleksandr said.

"I'm praying to Allah too. Lady Selesta taught me how to pray in both religions." She replied.

Aleksandr was about to talk again when they both felt a pound behind them, and immediately they turned back, their eyes were covered.

Blackout.

*

ZHITNEVO, TOP FLOOR*

"Arggghhhhhhh!!!!!" Poe cried painfully again.

Her blood has nearly finished draining, and she's bleeding from the mouth, ears inclusive.

Her veins are already mapping her skin disgustingly, and they're all black.

One could see her blood draining through the veins.

She looks unrecognizable already, and her size reduced as a result of the blood she lost.

"Fûckkkkkkk!!!!" She yelled again, and Gianna laughed.

"Told ya it's gonna be unbearable"

Her laughter was shortlived when the door was kicked open, and Jinx came in.

Gianna would have shot her, but Loud came in at the same time, and he shot faster than Gianna.

Gianna got hit in the heart and fell dead to the wall.

"Poellina!!!" Jinx cried, rushing to her.

Tears poured out of her eyes when she saw the trap on her leg. 

Her leg is almost in two cos it's cutting deeper every second.

"No... please don't... Leave" Jinx cried hotly, and Poe vomited blood again.

"Kill me" she muttered, and jinx shook her head.

"Kill me... The pain is too much. Please shoot me" Poe begged.

Loud was already crying as he knelt beside them, and Malik came in with Trixie and the other girls.

"Damn" he muttered.

"Oh my gawd" Trixie covered her mouth.

"No... No Poellina!! Please don't make me!!!!" Jinx cried loudly.

"I can't!!! Please don't leave me!!" 

"Remember what we used to tell each other when we were still blind at the roadside?" Poe muttered bloodily, her voice faded and her white eyes shutting.

"That if one of us died, the other one won't hesitate to live on!!!" Jinx cried again, her face so red.

"Continue living your life, ok? I love you Jinx.... Stay loyal to...to Master" Poe muttered, her voice failing her already.

"Tell Adeline that I'm sorry about everything, and tell her that... If she leaves Master, then I'd become a ghost and haunt her. Tell her that... Master might not show emotions, but...he...he loves her. I see it in his eyes" she continued.

"Poellina ple .. ase..." Jinx pleaded in a cracked voice.

"Loud, Malik, Trixie... Trust me I was starting to like you both, especially you... Loud" she said.

Loud cried harder, and Malik's tears poured too.

Trixie was literally overflowing with it.

Poe took Jinx's gun and placed it in her hand.

"Please... Kill me. End the pain. I can't...I can't endure for one more hour.... please" she muttered.

Jinx took the gun shakily, pressing it to Poe's chest.

"Poellina..." She mumbled tearfully.

"Jinx... Jinxel" Poe stuttered, pushing Jinx's hand closer to her chest.

Jinx shut her eyes tightly and pulled the trigger.

"Poellina!!!!!!!!!!!!"

TBC.
