FLOWER OF EVIL BLOOMING

POV- EVANGELINE HOPES

----------------------------------

After a few hours, I saw Zeraf near me.

"What happened?" I asked him.

"Well, you know my long-distance cousin? She was my colleague here, she was working with me."

"Oh, Miss Miranda, that's her name right?"

"Yeah, she died."

"What???" I jumped out of my bed. "What exactly happened?"

"Yes, someone attacked her an hour ago. Someone slashed her throat. I am so worried about letting her family know this news."

I held his hands. "It's not your fault. We'll try slowly to convince them," I told him.

With a heavy mind, he left me.

"What the hell is going on here? I saw that woman, she was fine an hour ago. How did it turn out like this? And the most mysterious thing is how the hell did I cut my vine? Why can't I recall it? All I was doing was sleeping peacefully on that seat."

With a lot of confusion, I stayed in my bed. Zeraf was busy with Miranda's funeral and her death investigation. I didn't disturb him. But these past few days, I knew how much he loved that woman. That made me jealous. However, her death turned out to be a mystery as well.

I was done with my lonely life, so I decided to move to Zeraf's place. He was happy. These days, our uncle wasn't there, as he was still traveling.

"What happened to you?"

"What do you mean?"

"Ange, I feel like you're changing."

"Changing? What?"

"You are changing."

"Stop saying nonsense to me. I didn't change or anything." I drew him closer to me. He was surprised to see me near. I could see his ears turn red.

"Look at me closely, Zeraf. Do you see anything different about me?" I whispered in his ear.

His eyes widened, unable to look at my face, his face flushed.

At that moment, I decided to propose to him. But we were interrupted by Zeraf's phone ringing. I let him go and walked away from him. He rushed away in a hurry. I watched him from the balcony window. For a moment, my mind was stuck on the moment when Zeraf was with Miranda. Why do I feel irritated? That woman is already gone. I tried to calm down, but then I heard someone giggling.

I took the case file of the 1977/23 Myla rape case. "Let's focus on the case," I thought, reading them with a smile. After all, my mother was a brilliant lawyer. She knew how to get justice for her clients. I read them calmly. At that time, a weird smile started to appear on my face. I read the names of the criminals in that file, and it was none other than Peterson and his son Percy. What a great story. These were the most influential people at that time, the mayor and his CEO son. I smirked at their file. I could almost guess the story. It was clear what the mastermind was craving for. It was justice for that girl.

Inside of me, an evil flower began to bloom.
