Good Girl Gone Bad: Queen Of The Underworld - Chapter 341
Seraphina inflicted so much damage from that accident hence, could it be the one that triggered the implanted shocked for her brain to have a glimpse of the future?
Hearing the familiar project that Dr. Smith and Seraphina secretly and illegally experimented, Seraphina’s eyes slowly dilated. Indeed, why did she forgot of such important key points?
“Sera, where did those memories began?” Before Seraphina could even find the words to speak, Dragon raised his head and met her pair of jet black eyes. He added,
“Did it began after that accident two years ago?”
Since she was rendered speechless, Seraphina could only nod in response. She could finally see that the mystery she couldn’t understand ever since the beginning slowly displayed a faint light.
“Tell me everything… not a detail shouldn’t be left out. I’ll wait for you outside.” Dragon breathed heavily as he abruptly stood from where he sat and left without giving her a glance.
Comprehending on what he meant by that, Seraphina acknowledged his demand as he was the only one who knows about that project.
—–
Dragon lit up a cigarette he found on the resthouse’s living area before he went back to Seraphina’s room and sat on a chair near the window.
Recalling that specified project he funded, he remembered the last test subject before he burned down the whole facility.
That test subject was the only man who didn’t die after undergoing such an intense procedure. However, he was comatose for about two weeks and when he woke up, he only screamed like a deranged person.
None understood his mumbling as he spouted irrelevant information that could be any used to him. Hence, Dragon was certain that it was a failed and hopeless project.
Furthermore, the knowledge of Seraphina’s existence in that lab should be exterminated before she gets in a more dangerous position than she already has.
Hence, it still baffled him on how did the supposed project somehow worked on Seraphina, albeit, just like what she said, not as reliable as she thought it was.
Dragon heard the bathroom door faintly cracked opened revealing Seraphina wrapped in a white bathrobe. If none knew what’s the real relationship between them, they’d be mistaken as a newlywed couple alas, that is not the case.
He didn’t turn his head to see her as Dragon peered at the obscure surrounding outside. He took a long drag of the cigarette and puffed the smoke, along with the frustrations and his bemus_e_m_e_nt on the revelation from her.
Seraphina sat on the wooden chair across Dragon and reached for the case of cigarettes and lighter. By the looks of the case, it was probably Venus’s case of cigarettes as she had a bad habit of leaving her customized cigarette case — especially if her guards were all down.
“Start, from the beginning.” Dragon commanded sensing that Seraphina was just examining the cigarette case after she lit her cigarette. Seraphina sat on the other chair opposite him and began to tell her story.
“After that accident, I had amnesia. Like a blank canvas… I never knew who’s gramps, or my late parents and even me. Just like a newborn child, I learned everything from scratch; baby steps.” Seraphina slightly rocked her back as she recalled how these memories that played with her mind for a long time started. It was as if the occurrence just recently happened as her blood gradually boils.
“I spent months recovering to regain my footing and live peacefully with grandpa for a year. Alas, after a year living superficial tranquility, that man came like an enormous hurricane and devastate my life for the next five years.” Seraphina paused and took a long drag. She slowly exhaled the redolent smell of smoke which danced on the inbound of the room until it gradually vanished.
“Five years…” Dragon murmured as he processed the long years Seraphina suffered to the man she thought he was. He could not help but grip on the end of the armrest as rage slowly formed inside his heart.
Seraphina resumed, “He first started sending me flowers but I ignored it. After receiving a couple more of that, he sent me another flower along with a cutout finger. Huh, you should have seen the look on my face that time — it’s hypocritical.” She scoffed being reminded of her reaction at that time. It’s as if she couldn’t recognize herself compare to the real vicious her. After all, she had done the same deeds to warned felons back when she recruited Ace.
“The next day, the flash report on the news reported a dead woman on a rural lake where one of our maids on leave resides. You can guess what happened next — I kept receiving such gifts but the media eventually died down… even the young boy I helped months prior to those incidents wasn’t spared — he together with his whole family died in a car crash. It would look like an accident but that very day, I received a message regarding that kid. What an unremorseful man… much worse than me. I must give that to him.”
The burnt ashes dropped on the wood floor as she spoke her side of the story. Dragon, on the other hand, attentively listened and perceived how heartless of a bastard that man she was talking about.
Granting that both of them are not a saint and could murder someone in cold blood, alas, they never went that low to kill a whole innocent family just to catch someone’s attention. No wonder Seraphina loathed him to the core just hearing the first assault of the man she believed as Dragon. Yet, he still kept his silence as he wanted to listen to more of the happening in those five long years.
