Revenge of Athanasia Del Russo

“Ma’am, I’m sorry. I’m sorry.” It’s such a pain in my ass. What I don’t like the most is people who are careless and didn’t do their job well. When you do something wrong, all you will ask for is forgiveness and patience. Well, people cannot say no to an apology. Especially when there are many people. It’s embarrassing to make a scene. “No, it’s fine.” I smile sweetly and remove the wallet, pouch, and essentials from my bag. I must thank myself for the fact that I always bring some reusable bags so that, in case of an emergency, I am always ready. “You can have my bag.” My cheeks felt like they were going to tear in annoyance because my Louis Vuitton bag was covered in warm espresso. This is my favorite. Not the latest model, but the price is twice as much as the newest model. I love vintage items; I usually use them and smell them when I am stressed or facing problems in my life. “Ma’am, I’m sorry.” I’m still wiping up the spilled espresso in my bag. I’m trying my best to play it cool, even though I want to hit him with my bag. “Take the bag or I’ll hit you until it breaks,” I whisper, still smiling. It’s hard to be a plastic creature; it’s chilling. “Ma’am?” “Alright, I’ll hit you.” She ran and hugged the bag. At least, any woman would be annoyed. It’s like my bag was deliberately closed. I stood up and pulled down my shades, leaving the 1,000 peso bill there. Just in case he doesn’t have laundry detergent for the bag I gave him. When I came out of the coffee shop, I bumped into the woman in the neon green dress. The fuck is an eyesore; it’s like a disco ball that will be hung later because the studs on her dress are still shining. The fuck, it looks like Karen to me. “Oh, Athanasia!” I forced a grin. Who the fuck is this freak? He is too ugly to be my friend. “Hi?” I said awkwardly, How can you talk to someone ugly? Help! I wish I wouldn’t be infected by its ugliness. “I can’t believe I will see you here after you engage with Leto; I saw you with him in LA last week. You came home so fast; I thought you got married in LA.” She asked, and my chest heaved when she said, LA, and am I included? How can I go with the village wart when we are enemies? This is ugly, woman. I don’t even know her, then how did she get on the plane? As far as I know, animals are not allowed to board the plane. I must ask Kuya Mage about this awesomeness. “Who are you again? I’m sorry. I have a hangover. My vision is still a bit blurry.” I apologize, but it’s the truth. My vision is blurred by the ugly ones. So my vision blurred, and automatically something ugly appeared. “Leticia Toress, your classmate at Lasalle.” I act like that because I remember her, well, a little. The feeling-rich kid from Quezon City, who was our classmate back then. “Yeah, nice to meet you again. Well, I have an emergency meeting here. Kuya Mage can’t handle all the worries from his office, so there’s still plenty of time for the honeymoon.” My face almost cries from annoyance and smile. “I have to go, thanks.” I was kissed suddenly, and it was as if I froze where I was standing. What the heck! The frog kissed me. Oh my god, I’m going to faint. “See you!” She passed me, then I quickly ran to the ladies’ room to wash my face. What the hell, later I will be infected by her poverty. Why do I have to associate with that smelly creature? “This is fucking crazy,” I groaned and washed my face; thank god I wasn’t wearing an expensive dress. I just want to have coffee, and that’s it; I’m very unlucky. After wiping, I took out my phone and dialed Leto’s number. I look at the lock screen of my phone, and I feel the sting in my chest. The pain feels like I’m being squeezed in my chest by too much weight and pain. In five more months, Leto and I will get married. Why are we still enemies like this? He is my life; I plan my whole life with him. Papa and mama said that Leto is a good man. We agreed and made peace; he is my first and my last; I hope so. I don’t believe in the humpbacked frog that uses a crocodile skin bag. Like how Leto can’t fool me. I gave it all, and we got engaged. Maybe he only did that because he was jealous that Leto and I’s engagement was the highlight of the whole news. Until now, Del Russo incorporated has been the powerhouse company. “Come on, baby,” I whispered, taking a deep breath. The pain is because he can tolerate me. He has been ignoring me for two months. If my call rings, he will answer me. “The number you have is unavailable.” “You’re nice, Leto. I wish you could cut your dick is freaking small!” Irritated, I dropped the phone in the eco bag. And the sound crackled after I dropped it. “Fuck.” I breathe deeply while my eyes are closed. Guess why I’m so unlucky this year. “Fuck you! Argh,” I groaned and jumped; I was wearing shades so that no one could see my eyes because I couldn’t help but tear up and get pissed off. First my bag, second I saw something ugly, third the assumptions of the human frog creature, four more I was harassed by that dirty shit and lastly my phone! “I fucking hate this day!” I was still jumping in annoyance. “What are you looking at?” The woman I yelled at ran away, and I caught her because she looked at me. I brushed my hair and walked out of the ladies’ room. I’m wearing my sweatpants and sports bra. Flip flops and shades I usually wear this kind of outfit when I’m too lazy to dress up, and I don’t want to look like a perfect beauty who knows nothing but being a good daughter. I’m elegant, timid, and sweet. When needed, my image in public is that of a sweet and obedient daughter of Caesar and Natasha. They are very lucky with their son, who is very responsible. They just thought I was nice; they didn’t know that I was an older cousin and sister to my cousins and siblings. I stopped at the pink shop and bit my lips. I saw a mutual business partner, Go-Noringco, I guess.

I just shrugged my shoulders and took a basket; I chose 8 different kinds of dildos. 4 vaginas in the can since I know my cousins will be horny, as long as Del Russo is horny. I get handcuffs and lubricant, lingerie, and glow-in-the-dark condoms for all of us. I know that when Leto and I meet, I will be devastated. I’m excited to moan his name and ride him; it’s been a while since I’ve had a shower. I am very dry. Two months is like five years to me. “Separate it into eight boxes. I’ll name each box, and the six boxes will deliver themselves to the address that I provide. Did you deliver?” The cashier scratched her head and nodded as if she didn’t want to. “Cash or card, ma’am?” I smiled and handed her my card. I am waiting for my card to be returned to me. I’m excited to hear their reaction. Especially the boys. Even more artistic among us girls. “Thank you, ma’am.” I gave up on it then walked out of the shop and went straight to the Power Mac. My phone was on fire because of my stupidity. I will buy everything that makes me feel better, and tomorrow I will help my brother Mage in the company. “Good morning, ma’am.” “Can I get that phone, all colors?” ….. I parked my car and got out, carrying the paper bags while our assistants ran to the mansion. Xyan is outside and is frowning because I’m panicking. “Hi youngest.” I smiled and kissed his cheeks. “Weird,” he said after the kiss; he immediately avoided me; his sister was beautiful; then he rejected me like this. I can’t take the pain. “It’s a shame. Sister still has a welcome.” I took out the box that only had sex toys and reached out to the grumpy brother. Since nothing is watered. Maybe it’s like this when you’re a virgin. He opened the box and almost threw it away. I burst out laughing as his expression became a poker face. “Fuck! Are you serious about this?” He was shaking and holding his forehead; he was even more troubled than Ninoy Aquino with the 500 peso bill. It’s my brother, poor thing. No sex life. “Thank you, but no thank you.” I frowned at him and turned back, already taking down the box because he saw something in it. “Fine, I’ll just take this. Okay?” Fleshlight lifted and walked away as I chased the lubricant with a rock. “Use that before using the fleshlight!” I shouted and reached for the bottle of lube. “Kiss me?” I pointed out my cheeks, and he looked at me, raised his middle finger, and walked away. “I won’t lend you money!” I said and laughed. “My next target is Zoe.” Let’s see what he will do. I dial Zoe’s number, and I hope she’s home so she can see what I just delivered. It took seven rings before he answered; it took a long time. Maybe fingered. “Zoe, my baby lamb, do you like what I give you?” I chuckle when she starts stammering, and I know she’s panicking. She’s innocent in every way I know. I don’t want my baby girls to be wild, but I want to teach them how to be pigs and how to moan sexily. Damn Zoe is still young. “What am I gonna do to these? Thana, if Ate Hestia and Kuya Mage find out, they will be mad at me.” I laughed hard while walking, going to my room to fix my shopping. “There’s another delivery for you: lingerie and condoms, oh my god. Enjoy your sex escapade!” I said this before opening the door to my room. But I stopped and went back to the stairs. I heard a familiar voice. “What?! What is on your mind right now, Sister Thana?” she asked. I just don’t know. “I was expecting that you would give me nice things like bags, shoes, and dresses. Sister Thana, it seems like you’re going to surrender the flag.” “Just go and go; when you’re handsome, you’ll get fired. There, sit on the plate. Show off!” I immediately hung up when I saw Ailey standing at the bottom of the stairs. “Hi, Sister Thana!” “Oh, hi, baby girl.” I kissed her, then remembered the box that was too much for me. That’s in the right hands; he can use it when my brother kicks him; add him to my cart to become Del Russo. “This, put it away. A gift from Ate Thana.” Besides, I walked and left Ailey on the opposite side of the stairs and screamed. “Lazander Xyan!” I walked to Xyan’s room. “Open the goddamn door! Your girlfriend is downstairs!” I said then, bang on the door, because it was taking a long time to open. My brother was screaming. “I’ll leave you there. I’ll change.” I entered my room, arranged the new bags, and did my shopping. I immediately took off my clothes; maybe I can’t snatch Ailey and dress her up again. She is so well dressed; she looks like a doll to me. I put on my sleepwear and then went out to see Ailey; just as I was leaving, Ailey came out, ran downstairs, and then I was surprised. I walk to Xyan’s room. Tomorrow, my horny brother will do something stupid. Taking off my shirt dawned on me. My brother is a stripper, which he inherited from his beautiful sister. “Xyan! What did you do to your girlfriend!?” He didn’t answer me; it was stupid that he still had his pants off and insisted on being a nudist. When I see the video, I will sell it to the dead. “Oh god! Masturbate again?” I said, then he frowned at me. “The youngest barren is a master at masturbating.” “So what, sis? Do your things and don’t disturb other people.” I raise my middle finger and roll my eyes when the man is really ugly. “Lock the door first!” “Lock your room and don’t disturb other people.” I mock him and make fun of his actions just now. I run to my room, I close it, and my phone starts ringing; even though the screen is cracked, I can see the name: Leto. I answered it quickly; it took 5 seconds before someone spoke, and it was not Leto. A woman’s voice “Let’s go, baby,” I said, but later I heard Leto’s voice. “Rita, what’s it?” “Nothing; I dropped your phone. Sorry.” The call was cut, and I was stunned. I try to calm myself and the grip on my old phone. Very strict. “ARGH!” I screamed and then turned my eyes to the mirror in my vanity mirror. “How dare you, argh!” I cry in vain and throw my phone on the vanity mirror, sobbing and crying. So much pain in the chest—who is that? Why is this? I lay on the floor hugging my baby. It’s going to be a long and sad night. Full of sorrow and betrayal. “Why, Leto?”

I am patiently waiting, like a child with the blanket up to my knees and my feet wriggling. My brother is a big boy; he comforts his sister. I still remember him crying when Mama cannot stay by his side. As the older brother, I was by his side then. It’s been a long time; it’s just a toy; is it difficult to shop for all the colors or sizes? He’s smiling from ear to ear when he comes out of my walk-in closet, and I’m frowning. Why is he smiling like an idiot? “Here.” I almost threw my pillow at him when I took out all my collection; it was a tray! What the heck, I can’t talk. I felt like I was covered with a dildo in my bed. I look at him, but he’s at the door. “I’ll get going.” After he closes the door, I start shouting, “Tangina!” What? I’ll put that in my pee at the same time. Then I don’t want to use a diddle. I just miss Leto. He uses that toy before leaving me and fights with me as if we had nothing in common. I got the toy and hugged it all of a sudden. Everything in my mind disappeared, replaced by sadness, pain, and questions. Why did he do that to me? I’m still his fiance; I can’t believe that. What if I was wrong? “He’s loyal, Thana; stop that. It’s impossible; he got your virginity so. “He’s head over heels for you.” I nodded then closed my eyes. Tomorrow they must not see any trace of sadness or any other pain that I felt tonight. Athanasia is a joyful and well-mannered woman. Full of wisdom, she is one of the strongest personalities in the business industry. No one can challenge me; I am the ruler of my own. And if there’s something stupid about me, that’s impossible. When I got off, as soon as I got out of my car, Brother Mage’s staff met me. They made a fuss about taking the bag I brought and food for my brother since he always forgets to eat his lunch. “Ma’am Athanasia, I’m here.” “Ma’am, what can you order?” “Ma’am Athanasia, this is—” I sigh and roll my eyes. At least, they will cause trouble in the morning. “Run away. Here, take my bag and take it to my office.” When Ma’am Athanasia hears something, I’ll tell you. I’ll drop you from the rooftop. Be gone!” They ran away in front of me, and I handed the car key to the guard. I press the floor where Brother Mage is; I heard he has a new secretary. I hope she’s beautiful and sexy when she’s not dry, and she doesn’t need to be fucked every day. So what! Office sex is hot; it’s a dream come true if Leto fucks me at his office and covers my mouth to shut my mouth. “Kyahh,” I shouted before the elevator opened. I saw Hestia talking to brother Mage. I sped up my pace to catch up and annoy Hestia even for a moment; she’s cute when annoyed. Brother stood up, and Hestia seemed restless. “Ma’am Athanasia, here are papers that need to be reviewed,” said Mr. Del Russo. I nodded and accepted the folder. “Thank you; can you please give me some warm espresso for me?” Use this” I reached for my credit card, and at the bottom of the building, there was a coffee shop. When I entered, Hestia was right out, and brother Mage’s baby girl was half-running. Is it like I’m sick, and is the village girl avoiding me? I can hit it when I catch him or corner him. “What’s wrong with her?” I ask my brother Mage, and he just smirks. “Did you give me some sex toys? That probably annoyed you,” he said, sitting on his swivel chair and checking the paper on his table. “Impossible, she will love that sooner or later,” says brother, who wears his eyeglasses. I feel a little sorry for my brother. That’s at his age. His sexual life should be active. But that’s it; focus on work in the company. He’s the one who is responsible since he’s firstborn and still male. “Sir Mage, here’s your coffee.” I looked at the woman who came in, and I almost laughed because she was walking carefully and the coffee is close. My brother crossed his fingers and watched the coffee reach him. “It’s good that you didn’t spill the coffee,” my brother said. I walked to his secretary, an unfamiliar face. It’s true. Brother’s new secretary is young. Where was it before? “New secretary?” I ask and Kuya introduces her; she’s Yuki, and Yuki looks like she won’t break dishes; she’s only as far as my eyes can see; I am taller than her. “I’m Athanasia Louise Del Russo, Kuya Mage’s most beautiful, delicious, and kind cousin,” I said, walking around her. She’s perfect for Kuya. Small, sexy, and virgin faces too I have an idea! “You’re perfect!” I said and clapped. I didn’t listen to their wimps and snatched the sexy secretary. Many people were looking at us, and we were already in the elevator, going down. Let’s see if my brother will let this secretary of his go. “Where are we, ma’am?” she asked, and I smirked. “You will be given a sexual life.” So don’t ask questions,” he said, turning pale. I laughed at his reaction. “Ma’am?” “What the hell, it’s delicious.” At first, it hurts to break it. “But when you keep watering it, it’s like you’re living in a secret paradise, a paradise in a crowded cave!” I am very excited. I’m going to dress up. My brother Mage is my mascot.

We went down to the salon and left the handbag we bought, along with the jewelry, on the side. But when clothes, shoes, and bags are delivered to the house “Ma’am Athanasia, welcome back!” I nodded and spoke to the stylist. “I want a full body massage for her, a pedicure, and a manicure as well.” Please fix her hair. “Put hair extensions when needed, okay?” I stopped talking and my phone rang, and the caller was Brother Mage. “Thana, please just please let my secretary come back; I need her.” He sounded problematic, but he needed to endure it for a day. For her sexual life “I’ll send my secretary, brother; Yuki will come in tomorrow.” “Don’t complain, you’ll be happy with what I did,” when I’m proud of him and I feel like he’s doing a facepalm right now. “I hired Yuki to be my secretary, not your shopping buddy.” I pouted and looked at Yuki. Lying there and massaging “Just now, tomorrow I’ll finish what you’re asking me to do.” I was interrupted when the text that had just been delivered appeared. My heart went tight as if heaven and earth were crashing down on me. “I want to call off our engagement, Thana. I will take care of everything. Thank you for everything.” I dropped the call of Kuya Mage and then called Leto. My hands are shaking badly; I almost throw my phone when it’s unattended. Tangina what? Call off the engagement; what the heck is he thinking? The marriage is already settled. We’ll be married in a few months, and then he’ll leave me in a text! “I will kill you, Leto!” I pay before I leave. I’m stuck on the steering wheel of my car, and I don’t know where I’m going. I don’t have a best friend to cry to when I’m broken or hurt; I used to be alone all the time. I stopped in front of the bar. I need to calm down and stop the negative thoughts. But the difficulty is that everything is like a puzzle. Those ugly creatures, a woman’s voice, and all of the sudden decisions from him That’s stupid. He is the one who decided for us, so what am I doing? Just make it better. I stopped and parked; the bar had just opened. There is only one bar here for us that opens early. A friend of mine owns this place. It is said that they met her husband here, so they bought it. I hope everyone has a husband who is loyal and who is watered every day because I am drier than the desert. I’m dry, damn it. “I want vodka,” I said, and I sat on the high stool. Edward is laughing next to me; he’s a friend of mine. We are all mutual colleagues; we all live the same life. “Athanasia, you look bad right now.” I immediately swallowed the vodka and shut my mouth. “Yes, I am, and I am not in the mood to act nice,” said a very well-mannered woman. “Don’t know, I’m not in the mood to talk to each other,” they broke up, and I took down the sunglasses that I had been wearing. “You know that Elisha is happy now. His wife is the emperor of Tunazia. “My eyebrows raised. This is another fool.” He cheated on his wife, and when he cheated on her, he was furious. Thanks to Leto, I’ve never been crazy, even though he always teases me. “It’s your fault too, then you know.” “All of our colleagues know that Leto is cheating on you. “You are the only one who is blindly blind.” I felt my breath become heavy; I felt like I would cry anytime. I stood up and ran out of the bar while my tears fell little by little. My chest was tight, and I slowly closed my eyes when I got into my car. Of course, the pain is that the things I don’t want to hear come from other people. Why are they like that? I drive and buy some alcohol; I prefer to be alone; I don’t care about other people’s opinions; I’m only with myself and no one else. I don’t have to act like a perfect Athanasia. It’s tiring to be happy in front of other people; maybe it’s time for me to be alone and put myself first. I parked and took what I needed, and when I came out, a nice breeze greeted me. As if the wind were touching me, I sat at my favorite spot where I could see all I’m looking at the movements of trees; I’m watching from above, feeling the bitterness while I have a cigarette stuck in my right hand. I smoke when everything is fucked up. “It’s a mess,” I whisper and smile; I don’t know how many tears I’ve shed after crying just now. Xyan has taken good care of me lately; he comforts my ass and makes me feel like I’m safe. I didn’t think that he would hear me kicking things just now, but he changed his mind. He’s a fine and decent man. Lessiah is overly protective. Then here it is now—news from other people, especially. When you look at it “Nothing’s going to hurt you, baby,” I smirk and remember the line he said to me when I am celebrating the 3rd anniversary with Leto. “Nothing’s going to hurt me except you, Leto.” I close my eyes and cry without a sound. I’m afraid that someone might hear me. I gave my best, yet I am not enough for him. The time for us to be together is gone, and he promises that he will love me and do his best to be enough for me, even if he doesn’t do anything. He’s more than enough for me, but that’s wrong. He was the one looking for someone else while I was here, tied up and unable to accept the news I was hearing. I won’t believe it until I see it with my own two eyes, but why is it that even though many people say I am still this stupid for him? It’s like I allow myself to be foolish and left out, so I turn a blind eye to everything. Mom and Dad will get mad if they know this. I am responsible for my stupidity.

I drink the first bottle while looking at the pictures on my phone; it seems like it was just yesterday that we had so much fun. Planning how to get her pregnant, we study the positions that shoot the egg cell. Then now, another woman is swimming with his sperm cell. The world is unfair to me; whoever the person who is my world is, he is the one who left me and was able to fool me. How, how has it been in our time? I gave everything since I am sure that he is the person I see who will knock and shake my life, but nothing happened. Gago is married to another woman. Don’t want to freeze his small cock A bottle is overturned, and I feel like a fool for kicking it even though nothing has been spilled. This is stupid. “You fool, you run out fast!” I throw it away, open a new bottle, and it’s like water when swallowed. I can’t taste the alcohol anymore; it’s like water. Maybe because of my cigarettes “I swear, you will regret what you did.” “But why, what, and where am I missing, Leto?” I whispered to the void: “The bitterness of wine does not taste good.” But what Leto did to me was bitter. Unique “I still love you no matter what the news is, and you don’t want me anymore; why are you like that?” I’m good,” I said between sobs and drank the remaining alcohol in the bottle. I inhaled the smoke from the cigarette and drained the contents of the bottle. I want more; it’s running out immediately. I’ve been drinking for a while now. I’m about to throw the cigarette when my phone rings. It’s my younger sister, Lesaiah. I answered it and waited for her response. “Sister, where are you?” It’s one o’clock. “Are you going home?” She’s such a sweet girl, very considerate. And I don’t want him to see his sister wasted and brokenhearted. I don’t want him to be afraid of love. Because not everyone is really stupid. “Sorry, baby, but sister won’t go home tonight.” Maybe tomorrow,” she sighed; it was sad that she might ask something of me or need me. Maybe tomorrow “See you tomorrow, okay? My sister loves you,” I said. “I love you too, sister, take care.” I end the call and get into the car. I’m going home to the condo and getting drunk so that tomorrow it’s like everything is gone. I start opening all the compartments of my car as well as my bag, but I cannot find the key to my condo unit. I want to cry. Lord, is it true? Don’t you love me? I’m very unlucky, one after another. I try to calm down so I can drive home and rest because my stomach has turned upside down. I started puking at the window of my car. I hate this madness, damn it! It’s my third time coming home drunk and crawling around the house; well, I don’t want to disturb people, but why is it that I still have the key to my condo with as much as I can leave behind? “I fucking hate you, Le-ack!” You fell on the Bermuda grass in front of the main door. I’ve thrown out everything I’ve eaten, but I’m still vomiting. “God, I swear to god. I will not drink more tequila, and I will not mix it with vodka!” My stomach turned upside down; I vomited semen from Leto, but that was a long time ago. I’m amazed. I called all the saints and gods to get me up until I recovered, and finally, I grabbed the doorknob. I will reduce the wages of the helpers; they are not there when I need support. After I opened the door, I fell and hit my forehead on the floor. Really stupid, Thana! You are one of a kind in the whole world, awarded with golden stupidity and bad luck. “Really, oh gosh.” I groaned because of irritation. Why is there no condo key in my car? “FUCK!” I didn’t notice that Xyan was there, holding a glass of water, showing his bench body that could be attributed to Alden Richards when he didn’t even know the word diet. “What happened to you?” It squatted to get level with me. “Swimming, see this. It’s freestyle,” I promised angrily, knowing that when I fell, I would be asked what happened to you. Once this is my brother, I feel like I missed the moon. Xyan ignored it. Xyan helps me sit on the sofa, he’s so sweet and handy when he knows that his help is needed, and I am sure that he is my baby brother. “I’ll just grab some water.” I immediately opened Xyan’s hand to stop him from taking my water. “Why water? Do I look haggard as-ack!” and I cannot hold back my puke, I’m going to throw up my intestines now, holy gracious! He caresses my back and when I stopped vomiting, he immediately held a glass. I looked at him and said thanks, such a sweet baby boy of mine. “Thanks, tell mom to reduce the wages of the servants. They are all slacking, it’s early!” I pout and sip the water. Warm water feels good on the stomach, it’s refreshing. “Ahm. It’s 2 AM. Maids do sleep too, Sister.” I frowned at him and my grumpy brother facepalmed, the fuck? 2 AM?! “Okay fine, I’ll go up and rest” I stood up but was out of balance and my hip hit the edge of the table, this is bull shit! I’m about to shout because of the pain of Xyan covering my mouth “Shhh. Don’t shout. Just don’t.” It was said calmly to me and I nodded like a child. He picked me up like paper and ran to the second floor. I wanna cry out loud because of the pain. When you look at me oh. He opened the door of my room, and the door of my bathroom then opened the shower, Xyan was catching his breath while lying in front of me and I was getting wet from the splash of the shower “I’ll just leave you here for a while. Just call me if you need something.” I nod like a lost puppy and pout “Okay brother,” I mock him and smirk, sometimes I wonder who is the oldest among us. I watch him walk out and close the door. I start removing what I wear and feel the coldness of the water, it’s annoying to think that I have nothing to go back to. I’m too gorgeous to abandon and then leave me unreasonably angry, what is he? Always angry? Now he wants to end the engagement. Of course, he still has the strength to do that. It’s good to be trampled by a crocodile, I get the shampoo and soap. I want to go to the US but I don’t have the courage, I don’t know what will be my next move. I rinse all the soap on my body and brush my teeth, I open the door of my walk-in closet and wear my night ware. Xyan is still standing there, holding a bottle of Brandy and a glass. Shit, I’m thirsty. “Thanks for this.” I grabbed it and smiled, but it takes five seconds before the alcohol disappears from me. “I’m planning to drink this since I cannot sleep.” I raised an eyebrow at him and then pushed him out. “Thank you, go to sleep. I have work tomorrow.” I said and I closed the door. I remembered something so I opened the door and took my wallet with me, got my spare credit card, and handed it to Xyan. “Treat yourself, thanks again.” I give a quick kiss to his cheeks before going back to the room, I will bribe him. Maybe later I will report to mom. It’s hard, even with Leto. I threw myself on the bed and my phone lit up, it was a mail from Hestia. I didn’t check the mail. But there is a text immediately following. It’s like she wants to meet me and have a date, just now she didn’t want to talk to me and now she has a meeting. “The org?”

“Ola, your most beautiful cousin is here. No other than Thana” I smile at Brother Mage and show my white and milky legs. “Stop showing your skin.” “What’s a BOLD star?” I chuckle and place the black, double-brewed coffee that he likes. “The old-fashioned of the bold star brother, the porn star is new.” I wasn’t done yet when I teased him by squeezing my cheek and placing his forehead against my forehead. “Porn star your ass; I won’t allow any of you to show your body over that social media platform or any social media platforms.” I slapped his hand, and I couldn’t find Yuki in my brother Mage’s office. “Kj. Don’t want it,” I leaned back, then removed the shades and put on glasses. I remembered that he needed me today to review the proposals from other branches and our alliance companies. “How’s Leto?” I smirked and put down the papers. I don’t like to talk about him. I’m not ready to face what I’m scared of. “Brother, it’s good; your receptionist is ugly; you can change her.” It ruins the day. That adds to your stress, brother, pinch my nose and make a face. “You’re lazy,” I shrug my shoulders and bite the bottom of the ballpen. “Since birth, brother, let’s finish this. I want to go home, Leto, and I still have to talk,” I lied. I haven’t seen his ass since that day I argued with him. “There’s nothing we haven’t talked about yet, Thana.” I act like I didn’t hear him; I can’t bring Leto to the topic yet. It hurts too much. When he gets home, I hope he’ll come back to me, but it seems to be vaguer than a fish since Zoe and Xyan give me something that makes me more insane. Those kids are really special. Being an investigator is overpowering. I can’t blame my baby brother; he loves his sister very much. “Anyway, did you like Yuki’s makeover?” I raised my eyebrows, and then my brother sneered at me as if he couldn’t believe what I was doing. “I love dressing someone up and giving them a sex life.” “Could you please stop taking drugs if you are taking drugs?” Thana, my brother is kind, but I have a headache with you. “You will make me old soon.” I looked at him with disbelief. I’m the one who will grow up with him. “You’ve been old for a long time, brother; don’t assume you’re young. Then I’ll stop hurting your head when you have a sex life with Yuk-!” My brother hugged me and covered my mouth. The door opened, and Yuki was there with coffee and looking fine. My brother’s thoughts, which I know very well, are many. I licked my brother Mage’s palm, and he screamed. Yuki spilled the coffee due to the shock and loudness of his scream. “Athanasia, you’re a fool!” He went to the bathroom in his office to wash his hands. Every corner of my body can smell the fragrance; I’m just not sure if it’s a habit. I wink at her, and her cheeks turn red. I walked over to Yuki and gave her a condom. “Use this condom, and remember that a Del Russo man has a big dick,” her face went red, and she shyly reached for the condom. Brother Mage just came out and saw me handing the condom to his secretary. “Athanasia! You Yuki. Go back to your table outside first. I’ll just leave some papers for Thana.” I dragged myself away from his secretary and she cornered me in a corner. “You’re crazy.” “Why, I just want to give you a sex life, brother. I know you’ve been dry for twenty-nine years. Road to thirty years now,” his face went red, and he looked at me, annoyed. My hair will be a mess! “You know my head hurts; I can’t even find a wife because of what you’re doing.” I chuckled and took out the wine from my bag and sat in the living room set in his office and then hit the floor, one by one, with the proposals before I passed them to brother Mage for the finalization of projects and others. I remember before, some women flirted with my brother Mage, but I know that money is all they want, so when my brother went on a date, I suddenly appeared and pretended to be his girlfriend. The worst is that I act like a pregnant woman, so there was gossip and news that my brother had a child. Mom and dad scolded me, so I was grounded then. “I’ll choose; the one you dated is ugly. Look at Yuki; she looks nice and virgin. I like her for you. Listen to me, and I’m your cousin,” he shook his head and stood next to me, and I handed over the signed papers. “You’re getting worse day by day. Do you not have a brain disease?” I fell into the glass, poured wine again, and tied my hair. My brows met and I rolled my eyes. “I always visit my doctor, brother, you. And my doctor said that I am too pretty to have a disease.” Yuki came in and brought another paper, put it on my side, and left in a hurry. “I’ll leave, brother.” I put my legs on my brother’s thigh, and it’s hard to remove the strap of my pumps because it’s annoying. I can’t sit properly. “I can’t believe this problem with our other cousins.” I frowned and changed my other legs to remove the obstacle. “Why are you going to trouble Jacob? That’s a good kid; Treyton and Louis are the ones we should watch out for. Those kids,” I said, and drank the remaining alcohol in the glass. “Jacob held a wedding last month.” I threw out the wine and then wondered more, “What the heck?” Jacob’s child is still young! Why? “Did Jane get pregnant?” I asked, then my brother looked down and took out the folder. I read it and tore it. Tearing it and trying to calm myself, I removed the stopper of the rum I was carrying and opened it. “Fuck, what’s going to happen to them?” I get my bag and my heels. My brother shouts and calls my name. I look at him. “You’re going out on your feet, and where are you going?” he asked, and I pointed to the papers that I just signed. “I’m going out; the bar needs me. Then the other papers, please go to my condo okay, you have my keys. I need to go, bye!” I ran to the elevator, and many people were looking at me. They say I’m too beautiful and I’m aware of it.

I almost threw the bra I was wearing when I took it off and spun it around in the air while grinding on the dance floor. People are looking at me like I am fucking insane, but why? I am hyped up with the music. I saw Radence upstairs, in the VIP room, who winked at me. I show my middle finger and stick my tongue out. I just shook my head and then I screamed, especially when they sprinkled water while people on the dance floor got wet. My hips went wilder when Shakira’s Hips Don’t Lie played. With the remix of Boyfriend by Arianna Grande. I close my eyes and dance. Someone touched my waist, and when I opened my eyes, it was Christ Nielson’s face that almost kissed me, and didn’t want to let go of my waist. “Athanasia, it’s been a long time since I’ve seen you.” I immediately pulled away and avoided him; he was a good friend of mine. Del Russo is connected to the Mafia Organization since my father is a good friend of Avenson. Christ Nielson is the firstborn and heir of La Avignon Mafia, which owns the Underground City on the Lake Side, and I am very familiar with it since it’s my responsibility as a firstborn. We all have the proper training for ourselves. “Christ,” I claimed, and I quickly dodged; he’s insane. He wants me badly. I know that I am a goddamn goddess from the heavens, but it’s hard to chase and hide from the Mafia boss. “Come on, my marriage proposal is this available. Always available when it comes to my baby boo,” I almost puked as I pulled away and looked away. “You’re drunk, I need to go,” and Barbara came closer, pushed her older brother away from me, and winked at me. I was going to the restroom when I saw a woman. She looks familiar, like Radence’s colleague or friend; that’s a silly kid. “Hey, Miss are you okay?” I called her attention; I was surprised, and it’s like Radence’s fiancée or girlfriend; I can’t tell. I’m a bit tipsy too; I finished the alcohol when I was going to the bar, and there was still rum in brother Mage’s office. “I need Rad.” She said and closed her eyes.” I have a mini panic since I don’t know how to take care of a drunk, I’m so drunk I can’t take care of myself, or other people. “Okay, I’ll call my cousin. It’s Radence Del Russo, right?” I asked, and she nodded weakly. This child is pitiful. I dialed Radence’s number and got no answer. “I’m Athanasia Del Russo, by the way.” When I introduce myself and Rad doesn’t answer. “Please call Radence.” I sigh and decide to call him and rush to VIP. “Okay, okay. Just wait here. He’s probably upstairs.” I left her there and went up to the VIP area. The guard stopped me, but the bouncer came upstairs and no one stopped me. I opened the doors one by one until I saw Rad. Drinking with his friends “Radence Del Russo, come down. The woman who looks Korean is looking for you,” I said, and his face went pale. He just passed me, and I was left with his friends who were still looking at me. I sat where Rad has been sitting lately and swallowed its cheers. “I will be here until Rad is back.” I said and enjoying every shot, until I didn’t know how many shots I drink. I didn’t notice the time, and the owner of the bar informed us that they were closing. It’s 6 AM, and I’m fucking dead. I hate my brother Mage. The paper that I need to sign, Oh my gosh! I can not walk properly. I don’t know how I got out and got to my car; I felt like I was going to throw up. “Damn,” I groaned when a warm hand touched my back; I couldn’t see him. But he’s wearing a gym outfit. He handed me coffee and a towel before jogging away from me. I got dressed and got into my car. I use the warm towel and drink the warm espresso. Wow, just wow. I always order a warm espresso, especially when I come from a night out and have no rest. I smile and see the initials on the towel. It’s EJ. I smirk and drive to my condo. I still need to arrange and sign the papers. I’m going to hate you, mom, if they find out that I’m behaving like this; they’ll know what Leto said to me, and I can’t allow it. I will face them in a crash, and I swear to God, they are angry with me, and they will be held accountable. I will not rest until I beat Leto. And yes, I will catch my fiance, who has an itchy stomach, so the American scratched his raw skin. I can’t oppress them. I need to be strong.
