Death Is A Friend Of Mine

"That was fun!" Helena sat on the grassy area opening the bottle of water Raymond handed it to her. She took a big gulp to quench her thirst relieving her parched throat after the constant screaming when she did the skydiving.

She tugged her loose hair strands behind her ear, showing her neck, Raymond has not seen her without her contact lenses in a while, her beautiful odd eyes made her unique and of a kind, a sadness creeped in him when he recalled the heartbroken she endured two years ago that almost drive her to the brink of insanity, deep down he knows, no matter how strong Helena is, she is also a human with feelings. Her beauty is somehow a cursed for her as well, her life will never be normal.

Most beautiful women in the city shares the same beauty traits, a small face, round eyes and gentle demeanor, Helena however is the total opposite with those kind of beauty, but she still can easily outshined even the most beautiful celebrity in the country.

Her figured is voluptuous, his eyes trail to every inch of her.

"Pak!"

"Ouch what's that for!!!"Raymond rub the back of his head.

"Stop lusting over me idiot!, its disgusting" she raised her hand ready to smack him again for committing the biggest sin in a friendship.

"Pig" she scoffed and rolled her eyes.

"Who is lusting over you? You are not lady like at all, i dont know who is the unlucky b*stard that will marry you" he covered his head right after he spoke those dissing words to Helena.

Meanwhile, in Jasmine City a man clad in a black trench coat walking out from his car suddenly sneezed....

"Whoever that marries me, is the luckiest man alive, look at me? What's not to love about this" Helena stood and posed like a model while complimenting herself. She sure is a case of narcissist.

Raymond expression turned serious

"I heard about what Lorenzo mention, are you really going to do it" he lay on the grass looking at the blue sky, his hands placed on the back of his head to support it.

Helena laid next to him, her playful looks is now solemn, 1 day left before she has to give her answer.

"What else do i have Ray? My life revolves too much around violence, i am 27 years old, and not once do i ever feel like my life is mine"

"But marriage is a big deal, you don't know who is this guy at all, what if he doesn't like you and refuse to be in the same house as you? Or to even knows about your life? You will be alone anyway"

Helena ears perked when she heard the genius words flowing like a sweet melody from Raymond's' mouth.

"Ray!! You gave me an idea!! Oh my god! Oh my god!! Yesssss yesss!!!" She danced oppa gangnam style.

"I am going to get my freedom!!" She screamed at the top of her lungs.

"Are you crazy?? Are you going to kill yourself" a worried look flashed on Raymond's face.

"I'm not committing suicide you idiot, and also death is a friend of mine, he wont come and bother me anytime soon" she still danced like a crazy person. For those at the HQ that knows Helena. She is known as Lilith, the she-demon. She always has a cold and unfriendly vibe around her, her aura scares anyone that comes near her. All her missions has almost 100% success rates, if the incident two years ago is not factored in. She worked with her crew that no one in HQ ever met, however her personality changes when she is with person that she close with. She is relaxed and playful.

"Anyway, I'm leaving. I have contract to draft and decisions to make...tata!!" She winked and flutter her fingers. She skipped her way to the parking lot and twirl around like ballerina.

Raymond eye twitch when he saw her skipping, the best mercenary in the organizations actually skip like a giddy school girl. His lip curved smiling seeing Helena, he is one of the lucky ones to be able to see her real self, too many undercovers and characters makes her hard to read. She hid her emotions rather smooth.

Raymond knows, no matter what happen, she can always protect herself.

Cade looked at old Master Anderson without moving an inch, their eyes met and the staring competitions begin, the stubborn traits definitely ran in the family, and now Old Master Anderson is at the loosing end.

"Enough! You have to get married with Ms Lee, like it or not, or i will not give you access for the 'EYE'.

"What makes you think that i care about it?, i wont get married, if you like her, how about you get married."

"You brat!" The old master cant win when he starts arguing with Cade, this brat sure knows to hit the spot. Unlike Daniel, Cade is the heir for the Anderson Corp, so he felt justify to be picky of who is going to stand beside him as Mrs. Anderson. Daniel refused to inherit any business from the Anderson Clan, he had build his own casino and Hotel empire single handedly.

The butler whisper something in the old master ear, and he nodded, waving his hand as a sign he is dismissed.

Cade still sitting looking at his phone and he is sending messages to Anwar that currently waiting at the manor hallway. Anwar had been in cahoots with the Old Master to make Cade came to the Manor today.

[ i will send you to the place with poor infrastructure]

Anwar saw the messaged and cold sweat dripping on his back, he looked up to pray when his eyes saw Helena walking with the Anderson family butler. He didn't realized that he has been staring at Helena the entire time until she walked pass him.

"Close your damn mouth" the words are slowed almost like a whisper that only two of them can hears. This woman is more scary than big boss. Something about her reminding him about a female Satan.

Helena then smiled meekly when the butler halted his step to make sure she is behind him.

"Yesss yesss she is a she devil" Anwar can sense a scary vibe from her. The temperature is warm again once Helena left the hallway, yep!! she is like a death, cold and frigid.
