Chapter 12.5

My name is Rose Williams, my father was a CEO of a famous tech company, and my mother was a model. I lived a happy and peaceful life, until one day…

 

Two years ago…

Rose; Daddy who are these scary men?

Rosenthal; don't worry, it will be alright, just stay strong for me dear. 

*gunshot sound x2* 

My father was killed by assassins, they raided my home one night, they killed my mother as well. They were part of Bachira's group at the time he was staying outside in the van while the men were talking about what to do with me. I was horrified at the time, my father's lifeless body was in front of me for some time, I felt numb, then I was overcome with rage and that was when I attacked one of them. I amounted to nothing of course, however they decided to kill me as well, and that was when…

Maya; wait! Don't touch her! 

?; what are you thinking kid? Are you trying to get killed or something?

Maya; don't touch her or my brother will kill you all!

[Maya ran in front of Rose to protect her]

?; what should we do?

?; leave her be, that's the boss' sister, if you go further, who knows what he'd do.

[Smart, they knew what was coming next]

 

Later at the Tsukuyomi estate…

Sihai; I see, so after I specifically said leave no one behind, you go and do your own thing, why is that, Bachira?

Bachira, while severely beaten on the floor; I take full responsibility, please do me as you wish.

Sihai; oh, no you've exhausted that punishment already, this is already plenty as it is. That girl, Maya is it? She has to understand the consequences of defying us.

Bachira, on the verge of tears; PLEASE DON'T! I'LL DO ANYTHING! EVEN GIVE MY LIFE JUST PLEASE SPARE HER! SHE HAD NO IDEA WHAT SHE WAS DOING!

*slap*

Sihai; I think you misunderstand what is going on here, this is your punishment not hers, remember that the next time you fail to complete your mission.

 

A few days later, Maya was so traumatized by the torture, her mental state regressed to that of a six-year-old, perhaps has a way to cope with what had happened. 

Bachira to Rose; listen to me, my sister is in this current state because you're still alive so from now on you owe us your life, I heard your family was wealthy, we could use that to our advantage, you can go and come as you wish, just don't forget the debt you owe, if you do, I'll kill you myself.

Rose; understood.

 

Present day…

Bachira to Rose; tell me something, even though I told you about your debt two years ago, why didn't you at least try to run at least once?

Rose; for two reasons, 1st because you were right, I do owe Maya my life, and I'd do anything to repay her. And 2nd because we both want the same thing, to see the Tsukuyomi can go down in flames.

Bachira; I see, so it's just as I expected. In that case, I want you patrolling the store house every two and half hours, at least till the formal begins. Everything needs to be ready by then.

Rose; as you wish, lord Bachira.
