[Redd Estate]
Peach’s tears still hasn’t stopped. She refused to go to school too.
Her mother is still nowhere to be found, and the whole family is at the verge of getting arrested.
Acosta had to pretend like he’s concerned and carry red eyes around while consoling Peach, but inside, he’s the happiest here.
Since Genevieve and Marley returned from the meeting last night, they’ve been acting like rats in water.
They haven’t left their penthouse, and no one has seen them.
They’ve even stopped trying to direct Kimmy’s search, and Acosta just knew something went wrong.
And online, Seraphina is receiving massive love. Her followers increases every minute, and her fans.
Today, she’s opening her branch too. Looks like while this family is drowning, she’s surfacing.
At 8:30, the gateman rushed inside the estate, screaming.
“Madam! Madam!! Boss!!!”
Acosta heard it first.
He stood and lifted Peach to his arms, riding the elevator down to meet the gateman in front of the building.
Merely seeing his sweaty face despite the cold morning, Acosta knew there was trouble.
“Outside the gate, sir. Outside the gate!” The man shouted.
Acosta followed him, and immediately the gate opened, letting them out, his eyes widened.
Kimmy’s body lay outside the gate.
Unrecognizable. Naked.
Breasts, gone.
Midsection, gone.
Like her vagina was scrapped away.
Hair? Gone. Looks like it was forcefully pulled out cos she’s bleeding from the scalp.
Her nails are gone too, and on her back, SERAPHINA & BURN IN HELL was carved in her flesh.
Her body looks like it a ritual sacrifice, drained of blood.
“Shit!” Acosta sounded, going sidewards to vomit.
Peach fell from his arms to the ground, fainting.
Genevieve and Marley came out of the gate, and they weirdly didn’t look surprised or shocked.
Like they’ve been expecting this.
“Pack her up, for burial.” Genevieve muttered, looking sick.
“Huh?” The gateman blinked.
“Pack her up!!” Marley yelled.
The gateman moved.
“Peach!” Acosta shouted, picking the little unconscious girl up.

[Tobias’s Oddsion – 9AM]
Jude was dabbing his face with a disinfected wool as he came out of his room, wincing after every little contact the wool made with his face.
Estelle lifted her back from the wall where she waited at for him, and his eyes blinked at the sight of her.
“Why are there? Wait…. Firstie needs me?” He rushed.
“Calm down,” she rolled eyes, lifting her hand to his face.
Jude shifted back. “What?”
“You went behind bars to kill the commander of the police department, and your face was battered so much. It’s normal for me to care. When Yalda beat me, you cared.” She said.
“You don’t have to pay back. We’re like family here, I didn’t do it for you to pay back.” Jude led the way out.
“You’re an asshole sometimes,” Estelle followed with a hiss.
They met Yalda upfront, causing them to halt together.
“Yalda!” Estelle waved.
Yalda cringed.
“What are you? A kid?”
Estelle lowered her hand immediately.
“So what’s the update?” Jude asked.
“The safehouse money is all gone into Black Rose Capitals investments. We’ve successfully invested it all. The handlers are working too hard.” Yalda smiled.
“For real?” Jude gasped excitedly.
“Yeah, Wrath knew what he was doing when he launched BRC,” Yalda nodded. “At the end of the year when the investment returns starts coming back, I swear he’ll become a spirit…I mean the money will be immeasurable. He’ll start carpeting this place with money, and I might strat menstruating with money.”
“What a good news to start my morning…” Jude grinned.
“What about the families he’s laundering for?” Estelle asked.
“Profits are split into four, and they only get one, he gets three.” Yalda shrugged casually.
“Wow!” Estelle blinked.
“And Wrath Investments Empire?” Jude asked curiously.
“New laundering deals are starting to come in, and the Empire will get busy too once the case on it gets cleared.” Yalda informed.
“And when will it be cleared?” Jude asked.
“Give it a week, Jude.” Yalda shrugged. “The case will be closed as mis-investigation with the help of the President.”
“The President is even behind him?” Jude asked.
“Visit the handlers office at the second floor and see things for yourself, Jude. Damn, stop asking questions.” Yalda glared.
She left them there.
“She’ll never stop being mean.” Estelle muttered.
Jude smiled as they both followed Yalda to the handlers office at the top.
There, they met Seraphina emerging with Tobias. She’s all dressed up in a body-tight white dress, ready to leave for work, but her fingers are interlocked with Tobias’s.
An Odd carried her bag behind them, respectfully.
“Good morning, Mrs. St. Graves!” Jude teased with respect.
Seraphina smiled prettily, knowing the Mrs. St. Graves is not for Vince or Dean. It’s for a different person.
She looked at Tobias, and he caressed her knuckles fondly.
“I’ll call you when I get to work,” she promised.
“Not even a minute late,” he mandated.
“Not even a minute late.” She nodded, stood on her toes and gave him a very light kiss on the chin.
He let her go, and the Odd carrying her bag followed her with two other Odds who’ll drive and guard her to her brand office.
“Saint is improving a lot, news from the doctor.” Yalda reported. “And Tino is still yet to be found. He’s probably with his father, but knowing Xero, he won’t hide him in his main mansion cos he knows we’d come. I’m still trying to get a list of his other mansions in this city.”
“Well make it quick. Don’t make me give you ultimatum or do it myself.” Tobias warned gravely.
“I got it.” Yalda nodded.
“Now that Kimmy is out of the way, what’s the fate of the other members of the Redd family and Vince himself?” An Odd asked.
“And how many times do I have to repeat that I want him to come to me by himself?” Tobias glared. “He’s gonna make a move, soon.”
“After we end this chaos successfully, Wrath. Can we hold a Odd Party? It’s been long.” One of them asked.
“After we end the chaos.” Tobias turned his back.
Everyone smiled.
“But for now, focus on getting Wrath Investments Empire back.” He added. “And starting a building on the heart of NYC land, it has been cleared.”
“What building would be constructed on the land?” Jude asked.
“A Lady Care company.” Tobias responded, clearly.
