100 Days to Seduce the Devil



Day Sixty-Eight…

~~*****~~

[ At Veronica's Hideout… ]

She was reading the project document of King Stallion's Bio-weapon project when someone knocked on the door. She thought it was Marco since he was the only one who would dare come to her room.

"Come in," she said, her eyes still scanning the pages.

"Hello, Sissy!" Helena greeted her with a playful smile on her face.

Veronica frowned as she lifted her head, shifting her gaze from the document to Helena's face.

"Don't call me Sissy. What are you doing here?" Veronica scowled at her. She didn't bother hiding her displeasure and annoyance upon seeing Helena's face.

"Hmm. My man left me alone so I decided to visit you. How was your first day of work yesterday?" Helena was referring to the meeting with the members of the King Stallion and the Red Dragon Mafia.

Veronica didn't say a word. She thought she was not supposed to disclose anything to Helena since the meeting was quite confidential. But Helena stepped closer to her.

"Are you reading the Project X proposal?" 

Veronica was taken aback for a moment. She was surprised because this woman was also aware of this project. She was indeed a member of the King Stallion Mafia.

'Helena Carlsen… she is quite a powerful woman. She has a connection with King Stallion. I guess AMB Diamond Corporation is not a clean company. Just like SYP Twilight Corp, this company relies upon the support of an underground world organization such as King Stallion.' Veronica presumed in her mind.

"Yes. I'm part of this project now," Veronica declared to her.

Helena just shrugged her shoulders. "Anyway, I am here to ask you a favor."

Veronica squinted her eyes at her when she heard that. Helena was asking for a favor but she sounded arrogant. 

ραndαsnοvεl.cοm "What do you want from me?"

"Can you develop a lethal poison that I can use as a weapon? With just one prick, the receiver will end up dying." An evil smile plastered on Helena's face. This poison was intended for one person in mind– Phantomflake.

She knew that she couldn't win against Phantomflake in physical combat. Her body was weak. She wasn't trained as a fighter. She was always under the protection of Vincent. If ever she encountered Phantomflake again, she would feel confident if she had this kind of weapon.

"Hmm. Why don't you ask the members of King Stallion Mafia yourself?" Veronica looked at her in confusion. Helena was a member of the King Stallion, how come she didn't have access to their weapon?

Helena just rolled her eyes skyward. When it came to King Stallion's resources, Vincent was super strict. He wouldn't allow her to get involved in dangerous things. She thought Vincent was just so protective of her.

"No. I want you to do it for me. Besides, you owe me your life. Because of me, King Stallion Mafia saved your life." Helena spat back at her.

"Marco and Joker were the ones who saved me," Veronica retorted.

"Hmm. Have you forgotten? Joker rescued Marco on behalf of the King Stallion's order. You are indebted to us." Helena reasoned out with her.

Veronica couldn't win an argument with her. "Fine. I'll create this weapon for you once I start working in the research facility. I'm flying to Country R tomorrow."

Helena clapped her hands in satisfaction.

"Because of that, I'll tell you a secret," Helena muttered cheerfully.

Veronica just raised her eyebrow as she waited for her to reveal the secret. What secret was she going to say?

"You shouldn't have hated your sister, Monica. She's not the woman whom Nathan had fallen in love with. She just stole Phantomflake's identity that's why she won Nathan's heart. Your true rival is Phantomflake. You should have killed her, instead of prolonging her life."

Veronica looked at her in confusion. Aside from confusion, Veronica was also surprised beyond belief. This was the first time she heard this. "What? My sister managed to steal Phantomflake's identity. How was that possible?"

Helena just let out a soft giggle. "Because your sister is very smart. Smarter than you." She sounded like she was complimenting her own self. A cheeky smile could be seen on her face.

Veronica crumpled her face. She didn't like to hear that. It seemed that she was being insulted by Helena. "Smarter than me, huh? But she's dead now because of that. What's an irony? Phantomflake killed her. That's her karma for stealing Phantomflake's identity."

Helena burst out laughing when she heard Veronica's last remarks. She couldn't help it.

"Why are you laughing? Is there something funny?" Veronica frowned. She felt like Helena was not taking her words seriously.

Helena continued laughing as if she had just heard the funniest joke in the whole world. When she saw Veronica's serious face, she finally stopped laughing.

"Ahem," Helena cleared her throat. "I'm sorry. I just find it funny because you didn't sound sad at all when you mentioned your sister's death. I bet you don't care about her at all. I wonder if you even shed some tears during her wake. Or perhaps, did you rejoice–"

"Shut up!" Veronica could no longer bear this kind of provocation coming from Helena.

"You might be my sister's best friend, but you don't know me at all. You don't have the right to judge me." Veronica was annoyed.

Helena just smiled at her meaningfully and shrugged her shoulders. 'I know you more than you know yourself, Veronica. Until now, you are still in denial. What a hypocrite! She didn't even feel a tiny glint of guilt.'

"Well. I'm not going to argue with you. I'm here for a reason. How long will it take before you can provide me with that lethal poison?" Helena changed the topic.

"Three or five days. I'll just send it to you once I'm done." Veronica reassured her.

"Good. I can't wait to kill those people who try to bully me." Her lips curled up in a sinister smile. Then another woman popped up in her head– Abigail. She slapped her and pulled her hair and now, Abigail must pay for it.

"Hmm… since I can't a hold of my target yet. I think I will have to test the effectiveness of your poison on someone. I bet… you hate this woman as well. You failed to kill her many times."

Veronica narrowed her eyes. She didn't know who she was talking about. "Who?"

"Abigail Scarlett. I'm planning to test your lethal poison on her first." 

Veronica's eyes lit up at the mention of Abigail's name. This time she smiled because of Helena's plan. "I like that. Can you kill her on my behalf?"

Helena let out another soft giggle. "Of course! Just leave it to me. Just focus on making the poisonous weapon."

Veronica sneered at her. "Sure. Now, I'm motivated to do this for you."

The two ladies finally got along well because of this evil plan. Both of them wanted to eliminate the same people– Abigail and Phantomflake.

"I can't wait for the end result," Veronica said, rubbing her palms together.

"Just be patient. Who knows… after a few weeks, Abigail Scarlett's mysterious death will be on the news. Though she survived miraculously after falling from the building, this time she won't be able to escape death." Helena closed her eyes, imagining Abigail's death.

"Wait. Why do you know about that?" Veronica asked her again. "Do you have something to do with Abigail's accident in Centerville Hotel?" Veronica's interest was piqued.

Helena sighed deeply and said, "Alright. I'll tell you another secret. Yes. I was the one who pushed her from the 13th floor of that hotel. But a blessing in disguise, there is another person whose aim was the same as mine. I bet Nathan Sparks already captured the poor man."

'Damn. She's a witch. I mean… an evil witch. She looks like a psycho to me. Well, I like it. She will kill Abigail for me. I'll make use of her.' Veronica smiled inwardly. She was glad that someone was going to eliminate Abigail. She could no longer get near her. She's a 'Wanted Person' now in Nathan's list.

Leaving Country M was advantageous for her. She would lie low in Country R for the moment. Then she would wait for the piece of good news from Helena.

"Why did you try to kill Abigail?" Veronica asked her again. hoping that she would reveal more secrets to her. She was amazed because this woman kept telling her some secrets. Did she trust her?

This time Helena shook her head and wagged her forefinger in front of Veronica. "Hmm. That's a secret I don't want to share with you. You will find out in the right time. But not now." 

Veronica felt a little bit disappointed. She was left hanging. She wanted to know but Helena refused to talk.

"Don't ask me, okay? Who knows I might kill you too if you find out." Helena just teased her.

'What secret? Is that secret worth dying for?'
