Hundred and three. I'm still Walker.
The room was enveloped in its dim light after Monalissa disappeared. Camille looked at Suga who shrugged at her. Taking her eyes off him, she looked at the Lakewoods family, her eyes resting on Hera.
"You're ok?" she asked.
Hera heaved a shallow sigh and looked at her mother. "Mom didn't get to meet her" Hera said, her tone strained with a little crease of jealousy.
"She will. The ambulance would soon be here" Camille said.
"So that's her... Liliana" Hera said, tears gathering in her eyes. She looked away from her mother's unconscious body and stood, taking quite steps towards the balcony.
The president finally raised his head, snapping out of his reverie. "Moon country, is that right?" he asked.
"Yes sir" Suga replied, aiding Camille. Camille sent him a look of gratitude. "Our Boss took her in" he added.
The president was about to say something but the blarring of the siren stopped him. He immediately lifted his wife into his arms and stood.
"Alpha gardens,right?" he asked, looking at Camille.
"Yes" she replied.
"Okay. We will be paying a visit after my wife recovers, she wouldn't want her daughter to see her in such state" he said.
Camille blinked severally, to keep her eyes from getting teary. "I will let my Boss know about that" she said.
The president walked out, leaving them behind to tend to his wife.
"We'll be taking him to the Realm" Suga said, referring to Alvin. "You should also come back home. You have done it right, leader" he added, giving her a gentle pat on the back.
Camille nodded. "Call the boys" she said and walked to the balcony. Hera stood there, her hands clutching the railings tightly. Her vision was blurred with the liquid spewing from her eyes but she could still make out the view of her father putting her mom into the ambulance.
"You should go with them" Camille said behind her.
"Yeah. I will join later" Hera replied.
"Ok. We could drop you off at the hospital" Camille offered.
"No need, I will drive myself" Hera declined.
Camille sighed. "Hera, I need you to calm down".
"I'm trying to. In fact I'm calm. I just... don't you think I have the right to be jealous? Liliana... she's just really perfect. I'm inferior to her. I can't even stand her. You know when one says that someone has a blue blood, she's a clear definition of that. She doesn't even need to look affluent, her presence alone commands respect" Hera pointed out.
Camille was short of words. All that Hera said was all true. Monalissa had this natural aura that was difficult to describe. She didn't believe that Hera noticed all that through that techno glow.
"It doesn't matter. You also have your own unique aura. Don't feel inferior to anyone. The moment you start doing that, you won't believe the things you might do" Camille advised.
Hera looked at her. "I know. That's why I'm trying not to".
"Monalissa, is a person you won't regret knowing" Camille said.
"I hope you are right".
"Just so you know, I would be leaving for Moon country tonight" Camille dropped the news.
"Really? What of tomorrow?" Hera asked, surprised.
"No. My work here has ended. Boss calls" Camille stated.
Hera nodded while looking her over. "I appreciate it that you came, instead of Elena herself. I knew you weren't her when you came, but, I didn't expose you" Hera exposed.
Camille arched her brows, masking the surprise in her eyes. "Really? Why didn't you expose me?"
"Because...you looked fun. Thanks anyways" she said and exited the balcony.
Camille looked at her departing back, a smile stretching her lips. "She knew?" she blurted.
"Mille, the car is ready to go" Suga announced.
"I will be down in few seconds" she said.
At Moon country.
Monalissa looked at Elena who was also looking back at her. There was a taunting smirk on her face. "Thanks for the intel Elena" Monalissa chuckled.
"Could you now let me go? I already did enough" Elena demanded, her tone covered with anger.
"No. No way. You can't go till Camille comes back. You people should have known when you crossed my master's line" Monalissa said.
"Do you think my boss would sit back and watch you guys do what you want? He will destroy the Alpha Realm" Elena growled.
"Whatever. This is the hundredth time you're saying this same thing" Monalissa mocked.
"It's all your fault" Elena muttered. "If he didn't have his eyes for you, Elijah wouldn't have anything to do with you".
"It's not my fault that he likes me. He's just evil though" Monalissa said.
"Yeah, he is. But so is your damned Ezekiel" Elena shot back.
At the wrong use of her master's name, Monalissa slid out the whip that she held behind her, tearing Elena's skin with a stroke.
"Aarghh!!" Elena screamed.
Milky and Cobra shuddered. That was quite a stroke.
"Watch your tongue young woman. I will kill you if you say that name wrongly. I swear to you....I will make you perish. Remember, I'm still Walker. She hasn't died yet" Monalissa warned.
Elena shuddered under the sound of her voice. It was calm but very commanding and didn't give room for any objection.
"I know he's evil, but, I suddenly, I'm into evil men. I'm evil myself" she said.
"Monalissa...you can't love a liar. The best thing about Elijah is that, he never lies. He tells the truth, at least to the ones he holds dear. But, your master wouldn't do that" Elena said.
"How so? How so do you mean?" Monalissa asked her brows furrowed. Calling Ezekiel a liar... Ezekiel wasn't someone who told lies.
"Has he told you who you are?" Elena asked. She wasn't aware that Ezekiel already knew Monalissa's real identity. She was just saying this to spite Monalissa against Ezekiel.
"Who else? What do I have to know?"
"You should ask him" Elena said.
Immediately the whip landed on her thighs, tearing more flesh. She cried out, while glaring at Monalissa.
"You better don't taunt me Elena. At this point, you're my prey and I will predate over you as I wish. So better don't wish to die at my hands. You would wish you weren't born" Monalissa dictated. Milky and Cobra who were with her almost fainted. She was really...a Boss! Her aura, her power, even her breath screamed authority. However, Cobra was still scared at what Monalissa's reaction would be if Elena said anything. He decided to step in.
"Monalissa, I think..." he trailed off
"Keep calm Cobra. Let's hear the crap that she has to say" Monalissa interrupted.
Monalissa looked at Elena. "Speak".
"You're.... your parents are still alive. They live in Cee country. You're the daughter of Mr and Mrs Lakewoods, the ones that preside the Cee country" Elena reported.
Monalissa's eyes turned to slits. "That's a lie. I'm an assassin. I'm Walker. My parents are dead. How dare you lie through your damn teeth?!" she yelled and raised her hand to whip Elena again.
"I swear. On my life. You should ask your master instead" Elena swore.
