Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 61
★★★★★★★★★★★★★
#UNEDITED
The compound fell into total chaos, and a large rain started, but still, the mobsters didn’t depart.
The moment they saw Adeline is at the training ground with them, they surrounded her, dumping words at her face.
It’s like a lot has been waiting for this opportunity.
• I heard he slapped Death again.
• What the f+ck!
• And he gave him only removal as punishment?
• What is the torture house for?
• Dude needs to take an acid bath!
• Unfortunate bastard! Should have died instead of Kimberly.
• I dunno why Death cherishes him anyways… The special treatment got into his head obviously.
• Tell me about it… He even sleeps in his manor?
• The only person who enjoyed that privilege was Corey, and what happened at last? He betrayed him!
• Death is getting soft… We want the old ruthless Death who blended the flesh of three spy mobsters and ordered Selesta to make it into burgers last year October 31st!
• What did he do with the burgers again? Someone remind me.
• He f+çking took them to the spies families and made them eat before killing them too!
• You can go to hell, Micheal!
Every word, every sentence was landing straight on Adeline’s face without getting cold.
Every stroke of the rain was slapping her in the face too, beating her on the skin… she’s totally soaked, with the cold rainwater.
Jinx left for the clinic already, so Loud is the only one with her in the crowd right now.
Adeline’s lids were unstable as she looked around, staring at the pack of angry mobsters ready to tear her apart completely.
Loud suddenly grabbed her hand…
“I’ll take you out of here” he said, but she took her hand from him.
“I can get out by myself” she said, and Loud nodded once.
She took the lead, and Loud walked behind, then Malik joined him.
A lot of them wants to hit Adeline or punch her in the face as she exited the circle, but none were able to.
Her cutting glares put all of them in their places till she was completely out of the circle.
Loud gave Malik a glare, but Malik didn’t back off as they both followed her behind.
*
MANOR*
Madden is just returning, and immediately the door went shut behind him, the loud sound made his head bang.
He had to hold the head tight, groaning as he stood still on his spot.
His ears became hot, even his face, and the blood in his system was boiling for real.
He feels like vomiting everything, and his own skin feels like it’s on fire
Even the rain breeze or the numerous AC aren’t enough to quench the hotness.
“F+ck!!!!!!!!!!” He growled like an animal, and green veins appeared in his neck as he looked up at the ceiling with neuropathic pains coursing through his peripheral nerves.
The serum he was injected with by Oana… It’s finally starting to work properly.
Every sound in the manor disappeared again, but he could hear the sound of everything happening in his own body.
The abnormal thudding of his heart.
The pounding of his blood across his veins.
The slamming of his brain against his f+çking skull.
The sizzling of his own skin!
He fell… Into the past.
FLASHBACK, AGE SEVEN~BASEMENT*
It’s been a year since the Masked Monster started the injection routine, and no one in the compound noticed anything, not even Klara.
Madden is sitting on the basement bare ground with his back on the wall, and his legs propped up.
His arms are wrapped around the legs, and his chin is rested on his knees as he looked on blankly.
The time is currently some minutes to 10pm at night.
The Masked Monster will soon come again.
He lost sleep at night only because of her. How would he sleep when she even haunts his dreams?
Also, he has been restless since Maya told him that the Masked Monster also visits her.
He quickly stood to his feet when the backdoor opened, and his haunter came in as usual.
The Monster, masked as usual, ominous and dark with traumatizing walking steps.
Madden quickly found a stone and went on his knees.
He began writing something very fast, sweating as he struggled to make it visible on the ground.
He finished writing before the Masked Monster got to him, and when she read it, she chuckled.
It says… FACE ME ALONE, LEAVE MAYA.
Obviously… She understands mute language too.
“You want that? Are you sure you can take it? I was being fair by making it 50/50 for you both” she said, her voice heavy cos of her mask.
Madden quickly nodded, and she came closer. He didn’t move back.
“Are you making a deal with me right now?” She muttered, crouching over him.
There’s a cross tattoo on her chest… Right on top of her heart.
He sighted it before nodding.
“Face me alone” he replied with sign language, and that was it.
She grabbed her by the arm, and in another minute, the injection went shoved into his neck, then the second one… making two shots.
BACK TO THE PRESENT*
Normally after flashbacks, his madness subsides, but in this case, it even worsened it cos right now the past is not the issue.
It’s the kiss picture, it won’t leave his head, and the more it appears in his skull, the madder he becomes.
“Madden!” Maya rushed into the manor, and he turned to the direction of her voice immediately.
His green veins are still dancing on his neck as he seized Maya murderously by the neck, suspending her midair as he slammed her against the wall. Her feet dangled helplessly at his mercy.
COREY AND ADELINE….
COREY AND ADELINE… KISSING!
Christ… He’s losing it!
The red light above them flickered, and Maya didn’t even struggle with him as her legs left the ground.
Seeing the green veins, she knew what was happening immediately, so she calmly allowed him to choke her as their eyes mirrored.
“Do it… Madden. Kill me if it’d make the noise in your head disappear. Do…it!” She grunted, her eyes turning around.
Madden choked her harder, and she smiled despite the fact that she’s really dying and losing breaths.
“Do it… Don’t hold back… Mayashenka will be fine…do it” she said carefully, closing her eyes.
Seems like the mention of Mayashenka made his chin recoil. His eyes blinked for the first time since it started, and his palm softened.
He let go of her neck, and she dropped on the ground, coughing as she held the red neck.
Madden turned his back immediately, walking back into his bedroom.
“I dunno what happened between you and Michael, I dunno where you got injected with the serum again, and I dunno when your head will calm down this time, but don’t take too long” she said, standing up.
He kept walking without replying, so she talked again.
“If I lose you, I’ll lose myself__ no, I’ll actually kill myself, so get out of your head soon” she said as he entered the bedroom.
He shut the door loudly, and she sighed before leaving the manor.
Madden picked the picture from where he dropped it earlier on the bedroom floor, and he got his lighter, setting both the picture and envelope on fire before dumping it on the ground.
He lightened a cigar from the fire, smoking as he left the room.
He went to his office, got his laptop and began making searches.
Whoever sent the pictures to provoke him knows how sensitive he is, and the most suspicious person is Corey, but why does it feel like it’s not him?
His intuitions are always right, and he chose to believe it again this time.
The Masked Monster sent the picture, and whoever it is… Corey knows.
The fact that the picture was printed using Russian paper means the Masked Monster is in Russia too, and sending this means she’s aware of Adeline’s real identity.
But most importantly… The fact that Corey and the Masked Monster are both hiding in Russia without giving him any trace of their hideout means they’re both getting protection from the same person.
Erik.
Erik is the only one with that much power in the whole of Russia, but nothing good will come out of Erik anyways.
For Corey and the Masked Monster to willingly come out of their holes, Erik has to die.
He shut down the laptop and rested back on the chair, throwing his head back on the backrest.
His hair sprawled all-over his eyes as he smoked sinfully.

CLINIC, POE’S WARD*
“What else do you need?” The nurse in charge of Poe’s discharge asked.
“Warm coffee, and a hot breakfast” Poe replied.
She’s sitting like a queen on a couch in the ward, her lips and hands glistening with honey. She’s chewing gum slowly.
After Jinx gave her honey as instructed, her hands stopped shaking, and her voice came back too.
Seems honey is the antidote.
“Warm coffee? I’m asking what you need medically,… Go to the kitchen if you need hot breakfast, I am not your maid” the nurse said, and Poe stood, then she slapped the lady soundly.
“Poe!” Jinx pulled her back as the nurse held her face, looking at Poe shockingly.
No one but Igor has the right to touch the nurses, but Poe just changed that.
“What? You’ll tell Igor about it? Go and do it! I have Death on my side now anyways, and I’m getting shagged this morning… Tell me, when last did you get screwed by a good dîck like Madden’s? When last did you receive head from a clean tongue like his own!” Poe laughed in mockery.
The nurse stepped back, biting the side of her mouth.
“Michael went down and I came up… I should probably go to a temple and offer coconut go the gods cos they’re on my side after all!” Poe said loudly, taking the gum out of her mouth.
She stuck it to the back of her right hand and faced the nurse
“Hot coffee, and hot breakfast..now run along” she said, and the nurse left the ward.
“Aren’t you being too much? You only just got healed” Jinx said, and Poe faced her.
“What? Aren’t you happy that your best friend is back?”
“I fuçking am, but I won’t just sit and watch if you bully Micheal again” Jinx replied, and Poe crossed her arms with a snicker.
“Are you still crushing on him?”
“Be careful” Jinx replied, and Poe scoffed.
“Whatever, help me with makeup to cover my facial scars, and I need something s+xy to wear to the manor” she said.
“Are you sure you wanna do this?” Jinx asked.
“You know how long I’ve been in love with this man, so quit pretending, and start acting like my best friend” Poe muttered.
Jinx sighed.
*
KITCHEN*
The rain has stopped, and now the cold after-rain breeze is blowing around.
Adeline is still wet from the rain, but she didn’t even bother to change.
She has been in the the kitchen since she left the training ground.
She’s sitting beside the tall table, arms resting on the table as she stared into space.
“Wow, they’re really roasting you in the mobsters group chat” Malik said, scrolling through his phone.
“Stop talking about the chat” Loud replied beside him.
They’re both sitting at the other side of the table, in front of Adeline.
“But it’s hard to ignore” Malik replied, and Loud took his phone, smashing it on the ground.
“Dude!” Malik spranged up.
“Now it’s not hard to ignore” Loud said, and Malik almost gave him a blow, but the appearance of Lady Selesta stopped him.
She placed a big bowl of chocolate ice cream in front of Adeline, and Adeline looked up.
“Angelika owns it, but she choose to give it to you. It’ll calm you down” Selesta said.
Angelika climbed a chair beside Adeline and hugged her.
“You shouldn’t feel bad. I’ve been praying for this day, and it finally came. You’re not under the devil anymore” she said.
Adeline stayed blank for one more second before finally smiling.
“Of course… I’m happy” she said, dragging the bowl of ice cream to herself.
She began eating, and Angelika winked at Selesta.
“I told you she’d eat it!” She said.
“Thank you” Loud said, and she winked at him too.
Adeline took large spoonfuls of the ice cream, and they all just watched, but then Sin and Trixie entered the kitchen too.
“Who eats ice cream after getting denounced by Death?” Sin joked.
“Micheal!” Trixie replied, and they both laughed.
“It’s not funny though” Malik said.
“That was the first time Madd showed emotion openly” Trixie replied.
“What do you mean?” Loud asked.
Adeline kept eating, pretending not to hear.
“According to history, the last time he cried was when he was born, and the last time he smiled was… Not in record. Have you ever seen him smile? Or get angry to the point of openly denouncing someone? He kills or hurts anyone whenever he’s mad, but the fact that he did this only means Micheal breached his wall” Sin explained.
Adeline left the ice cream immediately. She stood and left the kitchen.
Loud quickly followed her.
“You shouldn’t have said all that” Selesta said.
“I was only stating facts” Sin replied, rolling eyes at Selesta.
Angelika went sad immediately.
