The Essence Of The Darkness
EOTL Eps 41: The Traitor
The man's hand movements instantly came to a halt, even with his relaxed expression instantly turning violent with anticipation.
“You want to talk about what?” ask Xavier then. His voice sounded deep and piercing, leaving Sera suddenly engulfed in fear and regret for her impulsive decision.
“A-me...” Sera's heart pounded even more as she glanced back towards the hanging flower pot.Doubts again encompassed Sera's mind. But at this moment, he was already wet and could not stop.
“Ma-forgive me!” Sera exclaimed loudly and instantly degraded her body to her knees on the floor so that it was level with Xavier. His eyes met Xavier's shocked eyes. Then, with the rest of the courage he had, Sera used her hand to grip Xavier's t-shirt cloth and forced the man's face closer to her.
“I have lied to you, but until this moment I have not... uh I did not betray you! The flight attendant suddenly gave the device to me and I read Aaron's message inside the mini-phone. But I haven't replied to anything because I doubt it. You kept reminding me of traitors all day so I ended up thinking, if I played behind you, we would definitely get caught and you would definitely kill us vilely. That's why I decided to tell you and I hope you respect my goodwill by not hurting Aaron or punishing him. He was just desperate and was trying to save his life that he thought was threatened, he didn't know that as long as I obeyed you then he would be fine. So, i...”.
“Serafina Moon.”
Xavier's resolute and deep voice made Sera gasp, her mouth that opened and continued to voice what was in her mind as a form of uncontrollable panic finally stopped instantly.
Sera's eyes blinked as if she had just been awakened, then she looked towards Xavier and asked, asking,
“What?”
Xavier seemed to be holding back a smile. The man touched Sera's chin and leaned the woman towards him. His thumb rubbed Sera's lips gently, before then speaking again.
“Pelan-pelan. Tell me in order so I know the chronology in more detail,” Xavier said in a calm tone.
Sera's eyes widened, as if in disbelief.
“You're not angry?” tanyanya.
Xavier chuckles. “Anged or not, depending on your explanation later. But, in order for you to be calmer, I can tell you that my mood is now very good. You know why?” Xavier asked in a mysterious tone and instantly made Sera shake in confusion.
Sera's innocent and dumbfounded attitude made Xavier laugh. The man lowered his head before then presenting a gentle kiss on Sera's lips.
“Because my wife decided not to betray me and be honest with me,” Xavier continued after releasing her lips. “Now, explain to me slowly. That stewardess, she gave you a mini phone?”
Sera nodded her head. “Yes. He said it was from Aaron. It happened so fast, I received the phone and read a message from Aaron.”
“Are you sure it's from Aaron? Or maybe it was just to trap or slander you in front of me?” sidelines Xavier slowly.
Sera gasp. Ah, my goodness. He did not imagine that possibility. His mind was too preoccupied with Aaron's safety anxiety that Sera immediately trusted the flight attendant without a second thought.
“For what did that flight attendant slander me? We don't know each other?” Sera voiced the awkwardness in her heart, asking Xavier in confusion.
Xavier's eyes narrowed, looking at Sera sharply.
“You must be careful of him, Sera. The flight attendant, named Sabina, was no ordinary woman. He was Dimitri's great man. Dangerous killers, powerful fighters and experts in disguise. On the plane, I kicked him out because he was trying to use his body to attract attention and control me. Maybe I forgot to say that he is also famous as a male conqueror. Black Widow is his nickname, because he often kills the men he has conquered.”
Xavier stopped his sentence for a moment and looked at Sera sharply. “Maybe Sabina feels that she can conquer any man she wants, but she forgets that I - Xavier Light - who married you, greatly uphold loyalty. As long as we're both tied to marriage, then I won't cheat on you. That's why he spilled his hatred on you and considered you a hindrance. Who knows his plan to get rid of you?” Xavier ended his explanation with a question, leaving Sera widening confused eyes.
“Kidnya me?” Sera parroted, repeating Xavier's words as if she had trouble digesting the man's entire explanatory sentence.
“The bottom line, that flight attendant, Sabina. He is a dangerous enemy. You should always be vigilant and careful when it comes to him, got it?” Xavier asked in a resolutely demanding tone and his lips formed a satisfied grin as Sera immediately nodded her head obediently.
“Good, back to our main discussion. Sabina gave you a mini-mobile phone, and you took it. But I don't see that phone anywhere?”
Of course Xavier pretended. However, her acting skills were so good that Sera would definitely not realize her lie.
Sera gulps. Look back at Xavier with great care.
“K-you…. Really not angry?” ask again in disbelief. Xavier's attitude was unusually calm when receiving his confession, very contrary to what Sera had imagined before.
He thought Xavier would be angry and threatened to hurt Aaron instantly, leading Sera to beg for death to save Aaron's life.
Xavier watched Sera's expression and the corners of her lips twitched as if holding in amusement.
“Can you show me where you hid that thing?” tanyanya.
Sera again gulped, whipped by nervousness that made her lungs as if squeezed by invisible hands, strangled her and made her breath sting in panic. But, unobtrusive, Sera's hand moved also pointed towards the hanging flower pot that was above the bathroom.
“D-there,” clear in a stamped tone.
Xavier raised next to his eyebrows. “Can I take it?” tanyanya politely.
Sera nodded her head. “Bby…. I. I didn't do anything to that thing. I haven't touched it since I hid it,”.
Xavier nodded his head slightly, then used a chair to retrieve the object hidden inside the cactus pot. After returning the chair, Xavier cradled the mini-phone in his hand and looked at Sera with a calm look.
“Can I see the contents?” Back Xavier pretended, using his acting talent to trick Sera.
Sera glanced towards the miniaturized phone that looked very tiny in Xavier's hand, the woman then nodded her head.
“Bo-can,” sahutnya by sound stuck.
Xavier pressed a button, caught a glimpse of the messages he had read, and thinned his lips as he maintained his anger at rereading the deeply selfish message.
Aaron viciously tries to take advantage of Sera's innocence for his sake. The man didn't even care if Sera was going to get hurt while trying to help him.
“Good.” Xavier stuffed the mini-phone into his pocket, putting on a flat expression. “I'll save this mini phone.”
Sera widened her eyes, looking at Xavier with her eyes covered in uncontrollable anxiety.
“You're not going to do anything to Aaron, are you?” Sera, who had risen from her kneeling position, came to Xavier again. His hand desperately touched Xavier's arm, gripping him.
That leaves Xavier beset by a painful irony. This woman almost refused all her touches and would not touch her if not forced. But now, Sera has gripped her t-shirt twice without being asked because she is very worried about Aaron's safety.
“I'll just give a little warning to Aaron. Warning for trying to persuade you to conspire behind my back.” Xavier stretched out his hand, rubbing Sera's cheek which instantly paled upon hearing her ultimatum. “But you don't have to worry, Sera. Your decision was right to tell me, that way, you saved Aaron's life. Because, if I had known lately when you had betrayed me, I would not have hesitated to kill Aaron so viciously in front of you and force you to look at him with your own eyes, at such a close distance.”
Xavier said his sentence slowly and earnestly, so that Sera could even immediately visualize it in her imagination. The horror crawled over Sera, but luckily there was still gratitude there. At the very least, he had taken the right decision by telling Xavier.
“Other times, if you receive a gift from someone else, whatever it is. You should report it to me. Who knows if the thing you received was an explosive device, a viral medium or even a surveillance camera and a wiretap microphone. You certainly don't want to hurt yourself and others by storing that thing, do you?”
Sera's expression instantly turned horrified when she realized the truth of Xavier's words.
“A-do those mini phones contain any of those terrible things?” sera asked in panic.
There aren't. Xavier replied inwardly, secretly enjoying Sera's confusion. Xavier himself had checked the mini-phone down to the smallest particle, and he found nothing suspicious there.
The mini phone, most likely, is used in accordance with its function, to send short messages in the form of text.
“I don't know. I'll check it out later.” Xavier went back to lying towards Sera, then the man propped his hands up on Sera's shoulders and squeezed them gently.“I'll take good care of everything. As long as you obey, obey and become the mother of my children, then I will guarantee the safety of Aaron and also your father.” Xavier grimaced, staring at Sera with a meaningful gaze. “Now is it quiet?” xavier asked withstanding a smile.
Sera was still looking up at Xavier, while her mind immediately twitched, communicating with her own heart.
Has he calmed down? Yeah, of course you are. The safety guarantee that Xavier gave to Aaron and his father, of course, immediately loosened the giggles on his neck and made him able to breathe with relief.
“T-thank you, Xavier.” Sera thanked me with a little confusion. He himself was still filled with a sense of amazement and disbelief as Xavier responded to everything casually without a single drop of anger.
“Because we have finished discussing this, then we will continue that earlier.” Xavier's hand moved back, guerrilla crawled Sera's waist, then down to her pelvis and tried to lower the Sera pants that she had loosened.
Sera herself was stupefied, not expecting that Xavier would quickly change emotions, from calmness to Sera's recognition, to turning into a passionate seduction who thought about physical needs.
“K-you still want to do it?” exclaimed Sera in disbelief.
Xavier chuckles. “Of course. I will do it with pleasure, even I will give you a massage bonus for your back when we do,” replied Xavier in a straightforward tone.
Sera was wide-eyed, a red pseudo adorned the entire hue of her face as she stared at Xavier in horror.
“B-bonus massage? I don't want to take it...” Sera's voice came to a halt as Xavier touched his hand on Sera's chin, and puffed the woman towards him.
“What do you think you're talking about, Sera? Why is your cheek so red?” Xavier grinned half mockingly. “I myself, was talking about taking a shower. Do you have a different mind?”
“M-bath?” exclaimed Sera dumbfounded.
“Ya, Bathing. I'm talking about shower.” Xavier re-explained his sentence like he was talking to a child. His eyebrows shot up, looking at Sera with his wide smile. “You must be thinking about the others, huh?” guess it meaningfully.
Sera pursed her lips, feeling embarrassed to death, but decided to cover up her pride.
“I also thought about shower.” Sera replied with her chin raised, showing her arrogance. “But I do not need a massage bonus for bathing,” continued Sera later, giving a clear rejection.
Xavier chuckles. “How about a kiss bonus? And not just on the lips but..”.
“Xavier!” Sera interrupted, stopping Xavier from any vulgar sentences that might be thrown from her lips, her face was already red with embarrassment, unable to bear to listen to the intimate words of Xavier's lips.
Mercifully. At least Sera made the right decision. In this way, neither he nor Aaron will be safe.
Sera knows Xavier is quite mean and cruel, but she also knows that Xavier always holds her word.
Xavier hates traitors, in exchange, Xavier will not betray either.
“Ayo.” Xavier opens his t-shirt, while his hand guerrillas again, trying to remove the clothes worn by Sera. “We take a shower and others there,” invite him with a seductive attitude while struggling with Sera's clothes.
“That others?” Sera widened her eyes, unable to resist Xavier's movements and only able to ask innocently.
The man leaned over, gave a kiss on Sera's shoulder and then brought his lips closer to Sera's ear.
“I'm not good at explaining in words. We better practice it directly,” whispered hoarse, full of desire wrapped in impatience.
***
Early in the morning when Sera was still sleeping on the bed, Xavier got up from there. The man put his clothes back on, then took the time to touch his fingers on Sera's head, gently rubbing them as a farewell greeting, before then stepping away from the house.
The sky was still dark as the clock was still showing three o'clock in the morning. The cold air immediately touched the surface of the skin, as Xavier stepped out the front door of the house and passed through the lobby before then walking across the outside lobby floor to the black car that was waiting for him.
The driver who had been preparing on the side of the car immediately burst open the door for him, allowing Xavier to enter it.
Just nodding slightly, Xavier got into the car, then leaned his back against the car seat as the driver started running the car to get to where he had instructed.
Sera finally chose to confess to him. Right at the most critical point where the woman could have stepped foot to the opposite side and become a traitor to Xavier.
Mercifully. That meant Xavier would not be faced with the choice to kill Sera. He didn't want Sera to die for now, because he really wanted the girl.
The journey to the suburban area usually takes a few hours when during the day when through the streets are crowded by vehicles. But in the early hours of the morning when people are still sleeping under their blankets and asleep, they can travel very much faster than the time required.
The car entered a giant warehousing complex guarded by a group of security officers strictly at its gate. They all recognized Xavier's car with its distinctive license plate, and opened the gate for him immediately.
This vast giant warehousing complex is owned by Xavier. Inside, there are large warehouses with privacy of one another and bordered by high fences with each other.
The warehouses are leased to large companies, especially factories or distribution companies that require large-scale warehouses for large-scale storage. There were hundreds of warehouses inside there, and one of the warehouses that Xavier had vacated and not leased to any tenant, was a large warehouse that was located at the very end and was the most separated from the others.
That warehouse is where Aaron is currently locked up.
Xavier's car stopped right in front of the gate of his private warehouse, while several armed security officers opened access for him to enter. The car then stopped right in front of the warehouse door, while Xavier rushed down, nodding slightly towards the members of the security forces who were saluting him.
“Bring me to a place of captivity.” Xavier gave the order in a calm voice. The man then stepped following his men towards a thick door, where Aaron was locked up.
"Leave us.” Xavier gave the order in a stern tone, making the security guards who were there not dare to refute. They finally decided to stand guard at the door and wait outside in case their master needed help.
Xavier stepped into the dimly lit room with minimal lighting. There was nothing in the saana, just a thin foam mattress to sleep in the corner of the room, the bathroom was very small on the other side and a simple wooden nightstand where empty trays and utensils were located, indicating that this one prisoner had finished his meal.
Aaron wasn't lying in bed like Xavier thought. The man sat in the corner of the room, seeming to have difficulty closing his eyes so he decided to stay there.
Aaron's head immediately looked up when he heard that someone had entered the room, and his eyes immediately widened when he saw who had come.
“A-what do you want?” Aaron exclaimed instantly defensively as well as in fear. For some reason to him, Xavier always carried a negative aura that gave him a bad premonition in every one of his presences.
“Maybe I'm the one who has to ask, what do you want…. As your last request?” Xavier stood there, looming before the shrunken-looking Aaron kneeling in front of him helplessly, and uttered a terrifying sentence that made Aaron instantly tremble.
“A-what do you mean?” Aaron panicked, starting to guess until his heartbeat turned uncontrollable.
His bad feeling immediately spread real when he saw Xavier pull something out from behind his pocket. A mini phone. Sabina's cell phone that she asked to give to Sera earlier.
Has Sera been found out? What is the fate of Sera now? Was she killed by Xavier?
Aaron was immediately filled with fear by the terrible shadows that were afflicting him. If Sera came to why, then lost is the guarantee of his salvation. Without Sera, Aaron's life would be worth nothing….
“Sera directly reported to me when she got this thing, which she said came from you.” Xavier lied a bit and he did it on purpose. “She said you bothered her, persuaded her to stab me in the back. He feels very disturbed,” Xavier continued then with a scornful tone.
Aaron's eyes widened in shock. “You lied! Sera wouldn't say anything like that about me!” the rebuttal was quick, covered in horror.
For years, she and Roman Dawn have worked together to get Sera to see her as a rescue angel. Without Sera realizing it, all the scenarios were run so that the woman considered Aaron as the only handle who was willing to help her in times of trouble and it would make Sera unable to betray Aaron!
“This phone is in my hands and Sera herself has given it to me. In fact, without me having to unmask all your rotten guises in front of Sera, my wife already wants to throw you away.” Xavier lied again on purpose. “I came here, to finish your life because now, you are with your lack of teaching, no longer useful to me. After I kill you, I'll come to Sera and tell her all the foul things and lies you've done to manipulate my wife. As soon as I'm done, Sera will probably spit on top of your grave.”
***
Sabina's black-clothed body skipped agilely on the roof of the warehouse building inside the giant warehousing complex on the outskirts of the city.
Not wrong again, this is the warehouse where Aaron was being held.
The sky was still so dark, but the sun had already begun to coyly peek at the horizon in the morning, about to let out its light illuminate the earth in a moment. Sabina knew the time was very narrow to carry out her goal.
However, his entire plan was indeed a mess when he got lost and had trouble finding this giant warehousing complex. When he finally found the right place, he had spent hours checking out other buildings that turned out to be wrong.
Dimitri called her in wrath last night, scolding Sabina for violating her authority and moving herself beyond the orders given to her.
The fact that Dimitri finds out that he is working with Aaron, suggests that Sabina's help in the form of a mini-mobile phone that she gave to Aaron and Sera has already been caught by Xavier.
That means, his hope of having Xavier is gone already.
God fucking. Really fucking. Sabina was originally about to take advantage of Sera who looked innocent and stupid and had her killed by Xavier's own hands for betraying her. However, Sabina apparently looked too highly at Serafina Moon. The woman was even foolishly caught, without having to wait for an entire day.
Dimitri tells him that Sabina must not do anything, because Dimitri's life is in Xavier's hands and the man can kill him at any time. But actually, Sabina herself did not care about Dimitri. As soon as he met Xavier, his desire to conquer the man roiled uncontrollably, moreover Xavier's attitude of rejecting him, even making his blood boil burning with a tempestuous desire for possession.
If Sabina could not have Xavier in a subtle way, then she would have to use a rough way.
A man named Aaron who is a prisoner, Sabina has investigated all his origins and has a strong suspicion why Xavier made him a hostage. It all has to do with Serafina Moon.
Now, although Aaron was likely as stupid as Serafina Moon, Sabina decided to use Aaron as an extension of her hand in order to get rid of Serafina Moon from beside Xavier.
For the first step, Sabina will rescue Aaron and free him from Xavier's confinement, then he will use Aaron to achieve his goal, before then eliminating the foolish man.
