chapter 1

A lady wandered in a grave yard feeling something was watching her. She had no idea what was coming upon her for killing the first son of the Crystalia family,

she just buried a body, and heading to the exit gate. she took a few steps. After a slight flash of breeze, she stopped and stood for second looking all around and finally she walked away.

Her house was few blocks away from the graveyard so she took a walk down the silent road with very few streetlight blinking severally. She stopped in front of a plain white building. after taking a good look around the house, she ambled towards the door "home sweet home". she tapped the pockets of her trouser randomly and confused and finally remembered that she forgot her key at the grave yard. Out of annoyance she kicks the door and suddenly it opened with so much ease,she took a step forward slowly staring at the lock and figured out it wasn't damaged even a bit. She flashed out her gun from her back pocket and moved inside in stealth motion wondering how the door got unlocked. Her eyes quizzically looked around and suddenly she stopped. "you have hawk eyes I see",

a soft pleasant voice with a venomous tone said, a woman in the dark switched on the light,the killer lady got breathless for seconds finding such a powerful woman in her appartement, "surprised," the woman asked as she strides a bit forward, "Mrs Elena Rodriguez". she whispered, "you did a good job killing the bastard so of that useless old man". she was startled when she heard so, the lady denied with a dishonest gaze "me?.....how .....no..h..", Elena looked down at the gun with a threatening look "the gun tells everything my dear, I know how things like this go".

The lady stares at Elena's expensive diamond stoned gown and necklace, "nothing comes free my dear"said Elena as she smiled at the lady, "you have to work for it, for example, kill the father of the guy you murdered".

the lady got shock all of a sudden "you shouldn't be shock by words like this, am I right?". she then walked ambulated out of the house surprisingly her guards bolted out of a corner and walked after her. The lady followed "what do I get!!" she asked, Elena paused her movement and gasped out of annoyance "Wealth" she replied and walked towards her black flashy car across the road.

Eliza sat on a couch taking hot coffee to stay awake all night. She sipped a bit and kept it on a crystal-like stool in front of her, "why is Elena not home yet"she said. Stella approached her "when would you begin calling her Mom,it's not that hard", Eliza insulted "that snake?, impossible". Stella giggled and began operating her phone, Eliza took a look at what she was doing "you're still looking for a nice date on the internet". Stella mocked "I'm better unlike the one's who doesn't think of even speaking to a guy" Eliza pinched Stella's arm "our family is my focus for now, the Crystalias are accusing us of their first son's death, can you imagine", Stella hissed "it's not like you're the face of we the Rodriguez, father doesn't wants to give up now", Eliza advice"we are still the members of the Rodriguez clan,we have to stay strong and protect our family" Stella replied with a smile on her face "you're really fit to be the next heir of father, I don't even need the post,it tiring".

Ramon (the second son of the Crystalias) stared at the swimming pool that reflected all over the dark room, due to the moon light from the sky that flashed through the glass ceiling.his ash hair covered up the left side of his eye, his fists folded tight revealing his web-like veins and his light hands exposed, Raven the third son of the Crystalias approached him causing no noise."brother", Raven said quietly, "Father wants to speak withith you", he added. "for what" Ramon murmured, "he needs you to represent him for a board meeting,he want you to pic the best of the worked up pitches and submit them to him tomorrow". Ramon stood up out of annoyance."what's this,our elder brother died recently and he's asking me to do what I have never done,is it because brother Juelz is dead,what!". Their father approached them saying "do you think I'm happy for goodness sake,my son died". Ramon raised his voice "I can let the brother I love to be forgotten so put it in your head that I wouldn't take any of you wealth into my hand,I have warned you to keep Juelz out of this but you didn't listen. the same, mother died because of the family clashes you put yourself in". Ramon zapped away leaving the room quiet and keeping his father completely mute.

The next morning. the birds chirped as Eliza drew them flying ,feeding and playing all about from tree to tree

"you woke up early", it sounded like her step mom's voice before looking back she said "can you please knock before...", she got shock by who she saw, "m..... mother". she dropped down from the window and rushed towards Mrs Stephanie. "mommy". she gripped her mom.
