Beginning: Mafia's Obsession 🍷🚩
Late at night at "Tabboo Club" followed by the glimpses of luxury and sophistication.
A group of people were seated sipping their wine and whiskeys having involved in some serious talk.
The conversation starts light but takes a darker turn as hints of something sinister emerges.
Isabel Reyes
Elian, don’t forget about the gala tomorrow night.
Isabel Reyes
The Vale Corporation is sponsoring it, and it could be good for your networking. *says with dripping seriousness*
Matthew Quinn
Networking? It’s just fancy talk for “rich people party,” lol. (͡°‿ ͡°)
Matthew Quinn
But hey, free food. You going, Elian? *says chugging his beer down*
Elian Reyes(MC)
I’m not sure. *pouts*
Elian Reyes(MC)
I don’t really fit in at those events. Besides, something about it feels weird. Why do they want me there?
Isabel Reyes
You’re being paranoid. They’re just interested in your research. Criminal psychology is a big deal these days. *sips her wine*
Elian Reyes(MC)
The point is they are criminals *says innocently*
Matthew Quinn
E.. exactly *running out of his breath*
Matthew Quinn
maybe they want a therapist pfftt *laughing hard*
Matthew Quinn
*looks at Isabel*
Elian Reyes(MC)
*still in deep thinking*
Matthew Quinn
Dude, chill. Free drinks. Worst case, you spend a couple of hours listening to rich people brag. No big deal. *says casually*
Elian Reyes(MC)
I guess… it still feels off. *circles his wine*
Elian leans back in his chair, glancing at the golden-embossed invitation on his desk. His gut says to ignore it, but everyone keeps pushing him. His phone vibrates with a new message—from an unknown number.
Elian takes a glance at his phone while others carried on the chat.
Elian Reyes(MC)
*opens the message*
...
📲 Gala invitation comes with
a price.
Careful what you wish for
Elian.
Elian Reyes(MC)
*Heart skips a beat*
2. Lucas' demise
Elian's heart skipped a beat when he saw the text by unknown, and he wondered who could have texted him. Possibly a danger or Just a joke.
Elian Reyes(MC)
(A man or a woman)
Followed by no reply from other side he just continues to get involved in the group chat.
Isabel Reyes
By the way, did you hear about the news? Lucas Vale-the head of Vale Corporation was found dead last night. *says casually*
Matthew Quinn
*chokes on his drink* Wait, the guy running the gala?
Matthew Quinn
Who is running it now then...and what the hell he just died no time for remorse?
Isabel Reyes
Yeah, his brother’s taking over, but everything’s still going forward. Weird, right? You’d think they’d cancel.
Matthew Quinn
Exactly what the actual hell...what's so urgent and necessary that he already finished mourning his brother..
Elian Reyes(MC)
Lucas Vale… dead? And now Kieran Vale, his brother, is running the event? *still shocked*
Isabel Reyes
Yeah. Also nothing on his death.
Isabel Reyes
No details yet. Just a lot of speculation, but some think it was an inside job.
Matthew Quinn
Damn that's some kind of ruined shi*
Elian Reyes(MC)
(Why everything feels off so suddenly, I haven't felt this since ....)
Elian’s mind races, and the message from the unknown number replays in his head. He glances at the invitation again, torn between staying away and giving in to his curiosity.
The screen fades to black as Elian contemplates his next move, unaware that he’s about to step into a much darker world than he ever imagined.
3. The first glance
Elian along with his friends leave the club around midnight. Everyone take their way home.
At elian's apartment, he thinks about the messages he received which made him worry a bit.
Then he heads to his bed after a warm shower
Meanwhile somewhere else,
...
Running close to danger, keep doing that and end up like your dad.
Next evening at the Vale Corporation gala. Elian arrives, despite his doubts, and messages Isabel.
Elian's unease pops up as he prepares to enter the glamorous, yet tense event.
Dressed up in really fascinating tuxedo, Elian finds himself in the world of luxury who knows what path shall he uncover today.
Elian's cheers up when he sees a familiar face around
Isabel Reyes
You made it! See? Told you it wouldn’t be so bad. Just network, smile, and get out if you feel uncomfortable. *smiles widely hugging Elian*
Elian Reyes(MC)
That definitely spirited me up *chuckles*
Elian steps into the grand hall of the Vale mansion, where the gala is being held.
Crystal chandeliers hang overhead, casting an eerie glow over the sea of guests in designer clothes. He scans the crowd, feeling more out of place than ever.
Elian Reyes(MC)
(way too formal for me) *sips his champagne
His phone vibrates again. He looks down—a message from the unknown number.
...
📲You’re exactly where you
need to be.
Look for me.
Elian Reyes(MC)
📲 Who the hell is this? *types
frustrated*
Elian’s throat tightens. Whoever this is… they’re here.
No immediate response. Elian pockets his phone, scanning the room nervously.
As he moves deeper into the crowd, a voice interrupts his thoughts someone addressing him directly.
Kieran Vale(ML)
Elian Reyes *puts hands on elian's shoulder*
