Chapter 18 18. Scary Alia
Rose feels like, She was sitting on needles, Although Alia and her are supposed sisters but because of that she knew her sister's personality very well.
Alia is very possessive of her things. When they were in kindergarten, She broke her classmate's head with a chair just because that classmate sat on her chair, When she was absent from class the previous day.
Also in high school, There used to be a man who tried to woo her and even confessed his love to her but she rejected him. Later when he found another girlfriend, Both he and that woman disappeared.
Even she as her sister doesn't know what happened to those two.
In college, There was a teacher who had misplaced Alia's notebook. The next day news came that the teacher was suddenly transferred to another school but Rose knew that the teacher had indeed transferred not to another school but to another world because the next day she saw Alia burning the same notebook in their backyard, Which was misplaced by that teacher.
There are lots of stories like this about Alia, That's why now Rose fears for her life. She knows when it comes to her things, Alia will never forgive anyone, even her blood sister.
"Si-Sister *Gulp* I-I don't k-know what you are talking about."
Rose in fear of death did her futile attempt to dodge this question because she didn't know what Alia meant by taste good.
'Is she talking about Alex's dishes or Alex himself? Has she seen us on surveillance or not?'
Rose ran her brain to the extreme and yet she wasn't able to know what Alia did mean by it.
Rose didn't dare to lie in front of Alia. Lying is the 2nd worst thing you will do in front of her as she is like an omniscient god, Knows all the things of others but never lets them know and watches the show of theirs like a monkey dance in front of her.
"Does it taste good?"
Alia slightly parted her enchanting scarlet lips, As cold as ice words escaped from her mouth.
"That- "
The same bone-chilling domineering tone but unlike when Alex used it, Rosee didn't feel excited at all, only fear occupied her heart.
She wished that her mother was here right now. Because in her knowledge, She is the only person she knows that can control her sister.
"Ta-Tasted g-good."
Her brain was doing gymnastics to an extreme and finally able to think like a normal person. That's how she comes up with this answer.
This answer is suitable for both questions either Alia is asking about dishes or her kissing Alex, Either way this answer is suitable. So it will also not be a lie, and for a bonus, She also gets to enjoy the evil taste of telling her sister that her man tasted good.
It's like hitting two birds with one stone. Of course she only dares to answer like this because she thinks her sister doesn't think she can really kill herself, She at best gives her inhuman work, After all their mother is not dead yet and so their mother still is head of family.
"Huh!?"
Alia raised her crescent eyebrow in surprise after hearing Rose's answer.
She did not inherit a stupid brain of Rose, So she clearly heard the meaning of her voice.
Her eyes subconsciously shifted to the monitor on the desk, In which the figure of a man sitting on a chair, While his upper body was laying on the dining table, His body was trembling slightly might be because of crying.
This is live footage of the dining room in Rose's apartment as proven by the small but ominous red colored Live words flashing on the corner of a screen.
That figure is obviously Alex, Who thankfully didn't break his character, and was still acting.
"There is a 20 day's worth of backlog of work, so do it before morning."
Alia just shut off the monitor and stood up to leave the office, While leaving she spoke these words and exited out of the room without meaning to give Rose any chance to speak.
"Sister but 20 days- I mean okay I will complete it by tomorrow morning, You can rest assured."
Rose was shocked by the punishment of doing a backlog of 20 day's worth of work in one single night. This is not a small job as that work is the backlog of the whole group. It is a nearly impossible task to do it in just one night.
But just as she was about to complain, Alia turned her face towards Rose. Seeing Alia's face, Colour drained from Rose's face and it became ghostly white
After all, what she was seeing was an unthinkable thing in front of her, Alia had a very enchanting smile on that captivating face of hers but this smiling Alia is way scarier than a stone face one, After all, every time her sister smiled, There was a bloodbath waiting to happen, Last time she smiled like this whole 2nd grade family in this Berlin city got wiped out.
So Rose quickly shut her mouth and accepted the task. She didn't want to provoke her sister even more with her excuse.
This shows, Maybe she was not that dumb but all her brain capacity was reserved for the defense against her sister.
"Your car is ready, Miss."
Alia didn't say anything to Rose, She just turned around and walked outside.
Outside an office, Her personal bodyguard was waiting for her, But her body was too drenched in a cold sweat.
'Boss is smiling, I don't know who is unlucky enough to provoke her to this extent.'
This personal bodyguard thought in her mind. She knows more about Alia than Rose, As she was trained by the Miller family to be a bodyguard for Aila from childhood, So she always followed her boss.
So she very well knew the meaning of that smile. Someone crossed her bottom line of hers, Which means tomorrow there will be new cement barrels at the bottom of the river.
Alia just nodded to her bodyguard and came downstairs to the front entrance of their building. Where her car was waiting for her, Guard opened the door for her luxurious car then she sat in it.
"Apartment complex."
After that, she only spoke two words to her guard who is also her driver, and fell silent but the cold aura of her body increased each second making guard in front of her tremble.
Soon the car stopped below the apartment building. This is the same building where Rose's apartment is located.
"Natasha, Did you find it?"
Alia didn't exit the car but asked a question to her guard named Natasha. Her words are always short and vague, making others rack their brains to understand what she means.
"Yes, Misss, All the records of Alex are here but...But we were still only able to find out until the past 4 years. Before that there are no records as if this person didn't exist 4 years ago."
Natasha who was with Alia of course knew what Alia wanted to know, So she genuinely answered. So she answered Alia a little hesitantly.
Natasha was shocked by this fact, Because she wasn't able to find any information about Alex before 4 years.
She used multiple connections, personal data, and private investigation. Not to mention she even used the top hackers in their company and she herself hacked into the government data center but still she wasn't able to find anything about the life of Alex before he came to this city, 4 years ago.
*Ahem*
Alia just responded with a nasal sound and looked through the thick folder containing all the information about Alex handed to her by Natasha.
This folder contains even a minute of actions Alex has done in the last 4 years, Alia quickly flipped through the pages and came to the last page, Which registered Alex's today's activities.
Alia read through the day of Alex but her gaze turned colder when she read that he was gone to meet Grace.
She warned this woman to stay away from Alex but it seems that she didn't take her warning seriously.
"I guess I am too soft these days."
Alia muttered to herself and a terrifying killing intent was released from her body making Natasha who was on the driving seat shiver.
'Interesting.'
This word appeared in Alia's mind. The reason why she was interested in Alex and accepted him as her boyfriend was not only because he looked good but also because she was curious.
She even with her connections of the network wasn't able to find out about Alex's life before 4 years, She only came up with two reasons for it.
One being Alex might be living in the mountains or something like that for 4 years or second being he has an unfathomable background.
She at first thought the 2nd option was highly possible but with the actions and green tea habits of Alex she scratched that possibility off. If someone really has a powerful background which even makes her family seem tiny then a youngster cultivated by them will not be like vanity-hungry Alex.
So she dropped her idea and sent people to search for information about him in the nearby mountains about 1 year ago but they still weren't able to find it. She thought it was logical as the mountain villages and area around them are backward and it will take time to search for information about some individual.
But now she has changed her opinion. That cold aura, that body language, The elegance in body even when drunk, and that natural superior aura of Alex showed in the footage that it belonged to the 2nd category.
She was tricked by him for a year. This was a thing that never happened to her in all of her life. She was always the party to trick others. That's why she was more pissed off.
This is also the reason why Rose lives today, If not for the shock and humiliation of being tricked by Alex, With her morbid possessiveness, She didn't even wait to consider the woman in front of her was her sister before she cut her into pieces.
Even fear of her mother was not enough to stop her from destroying the person who dared to touch her forbidden.
*Ding*
Alia didn't know how long she was sitting in tranquility of this silence. She was sitting in the car trying to think about Alex's identity, thinking about his motive to see if he was a friend or foe.
In her thoughts, her phone rang, breaking her chain of thoughts by the notification of it.
When she checked, She instantly became curious and clicked on the notification, Which redirected her to a live-stream app.
....

Alex was lying on the dining table, When he opened his new gift pack.
The system is really not stingy when giving rewards, Making this 2nd gift pack received in a day.
"System shows me the detailed description of these rewards."
Alex, seeing that the system did not pop up the window of the details of the rewards, manually asked for it.
"This..."
But when he saw the rewards description, He once again understood the horror of his system.
(A/N : Hey, It's not like I like giving cliffhangers... Who am I kidding? I love giving cliffhangers but I didn't do it just because of it.
It's recommended me to add a cliffhanger at the end of the chapters, So sorry 😅, Please bear with me.
Also, I would like to thank you, MrGibberish, Ff_Youssef & Dawid_Partyka for giving me a gift. I was so happy to receive my first gift, So once again thank you.
Don't forget to give the power stones.
Like always thank you for reading and have a good day 😁.)
