Chapter 1

Darkness prevailed in the outskirts of London. The warm spring air breezed through in between the scorching flames that engulfed the house on the left lane. Several men and women hastily rushed up and down with hoses and buckets filled with water to put out the raging fire.

A young woman sat in a car and watched in disdain as the residents of the area rushed back and forth. The darkness covered her facial features leaving her pink lips which curled up on seeing the residents' efforts go futile.

The house crumbled as the torturing flames ravaged every inch and corner. Soon, nothing was left except the dilapidated parts of the house and the dead bodies of a middle-aged man and three adolescent children who ly on the stretchers.

The firefighters and paramedics managed to rescue a middle-aged woman. Her clothes were tattered and part of her face and other body parts had severe burn marks. She didn't look in her best state but she was still alive. Her mouth moved as if trying to say something but her eyes closed and her body fell klmp into the arms of the paramedics.

The woman in the car narrowed her eyes coldly before asking the two men who sat in the front seats,"Why is she still alive?" Her voice was filled with no emotion.

"We don't know boss. The fire was huge enough to kill everyone.", the man in the driver's seat answered.

"She must have hidden somewhere.", the man in the passenger's seat spoke.

The woman chuckled. Her laugh wad icy and slightly eerie."So she abandoned he husband and kids?" Without waiting for the men to answer, she spoke,"Kill her."

The men nodded before driving the car away from the scene. A private jet soon left the premises of the United Kingdom to the United States of America. And just like that, the entire night's episode was forgotten by the woman and the two men.
