The Padlock of Destiny
Fiesta

Hyora Castiello's introductory party was very lively. Many other group leaders even some state officials were present. Luckily for the theme of this masquirade party, they wore a wide variety of masks to cover their faces and identities.

Despite the risks, no one was stupid enough to offend Castiello at their residence party. If someone still did, it would be tantamount to smearing Bernard Castiello's face, the punishment for them was not as easy as death.

“You're ready baby?” Bernard asked as he entered his daughter's dressing room.

Hyora wore a dazzling red dress with a black rabbit mask. The mask only showed her seductive eyes and lips.

“Daddy, should we go down now?” Ask the girl while nodding.

Bernard looked at his daughter with complete agreement. She looks exactly like her mother except for a pair of brown eyes similar to her.

Uncle Neo who was waiting for the two behind the door looked at his young Miss with a smile. Hyora who looked sharp at their first meeting now looked obedient and like a plain girl who had never seen blood.

“Nona looks very charming, this is a good plan to lower their vigilance.” Say Uncle Neo politely.

“Thanks Uncle. I have to ask uncle to deliver our special guests safely in the future.”

The special guest said intentionally with a cold smile. Who else if not invited guests grub Robaine.

With pressure from the Castiello group owners, the Robaine group sent two of their elders. Although Hrora was disappointed their leader, Ian Robaine did not come, he was amused enough to meet Maura Robaine again. The mob girl Robaine reveals secrets to Hyora on her last mission with Kyuhyun.

“Nona no need to worry about that..”.

Returning a plain face, Hyora received her father's helping hand and walked towards the party hall.

“That little piece is yet to come.” Mumbled Bernard in an annoyed tone.

Hyora simply ignored her father's grunts and smiled brightly.

Ting!

The sound of a loud glass punch made the hall become silent instantly. All the guests turned their eyes to the source of the voice.

“Today is the welcoming party of Young Miss Castiello, please welcome Mr. Bernard Castiello and his daughter, Hyora Castiello.” Say second in command group Castiello.

He wore a grey mask, but all the guests in attendance recognized the voice of the group's greatest vice-chairman, Erwin Castiello. Bernard's sister and Lara Castiello's father.

Bernard and Hyora walked in through the main door and down the stairs, they stared at the invited guests from the top of the stairs.

The hall that had been quiet, was now filled with whispers of admiration and praise to their group.

“My daughter Hyora Castiello, finally joined us today iki. He doesn't like noise very much, so he rarely deals with groups.” Bernard said with a brief explanation.

Hyora smiled greeting the guests respectfully. As if he did not know that the group in question is a mafia group with a turnover of hundreds of billions in a year.

“Nona Hyora has a charming smile. Of course Mr. Bernard will hide it all this time.” Say one of the guests with a half-face gold mask.

“Yes, my daughter is precious. Of course I have to hide it.” Bernard replied in a flat tone. He was not impressed by the compliments given by the guests.

“Thank you for the compliment..” Hyora said with embarrassment. He covered his eyes which were cold.

This golden masked middle-aged man should have been the head of Millet when viewed from the identity ring in his hand.

He is famous for playing with young girls. Even his fifth wife was only seventeen years old.

“I'm sorry for being sassy to ask, does Miss Hyora already have a partner to marry?” Ask another man who looks the same age as Hyora.

The man's clothes looked elegant with a black suit and a gray tie. A gray handkerchief tucked in his front pocket.

In Hyora's heart just laughed, if she knew it was presumptuous why say it?!

The figure of a young man in all-black clothes walked in arrogantly. He did not bother to cover his handsome face.

Hyora looked at the man with a small surprise in her eyes. The man was very similar to his father.

“Andrew! You forgot your manners! Where's the mask you're supposed to be wearing?” Bernard asked in a loud voice.

“Dad, everyone already knows my face. Why hide it.” Andrew said casually.

He walked closer to his father and sister.

“More, you know I can't wait to meet my dear sister. I was in a hurry to come from the airport to forget to wear the mask.”

Andrew grabbed Hyora's hand and kissed the back of her hand. The girl shuddered as she felt that cold touch.

“My dear sister, sorry to greet you too late. I've seen you since childhood even though you don't know.”

“Kakak..” Sapa Hyora with a spoiled smile.

Inwardly Hyora cursed the arrogant man before her. Isn't that the same as a stalker? An NIS agent has a stalker without his knowledge. If Kyuhyun is still alive he will laugh at him.

Several guests greeted Andrew with respect. They will not let go of this opportunity to get closer to Castiello's elusive heir.

“Enough! We should start dinner soon before my daughter goes hungry.” Bernard stopped their babbling, He felt that his blood pressure would rise if he thought of this son.

There are no rules! Arrogant! Troublemaker!

Bernard's grunts forget that most of the problems in their group were settled cleanly by Andrew personally.

“Ckck, no matter how good I am, I will just stare at you.” Andrew's whisper beside Hyora's ear.

Hyora simply smiled without responding to her brother's complaint. They walked into a dining place held in Castiello's luxurious garden.

rows of tables lined up neatly with cutlery arranged on it. The invited guests sat on their respective table cards.

"Again, thank you for coming today. I hope we can establish a peaceful relationship until the end." Bernard said with a glass of his champagne raised.

His voice had a domimating tone of warning, no wonder his only son grew up with such a temperament.

"For the happiness and peace of my daughter." He said before the invited guests stood up with the glass raised and followed him.

Hyora rolled her eyes while doing the same. Is this still the era of the kingdom? He was sure that the guests present were putting together a plan to pull him into the mud at this time.

Plain girl Bernard Castiello's biological daughter, who would miss it to take advantage.

The status of Castiello's highly influential son-in-law would have them walking without concern across European and Asian lands.

Some of the elders of Robaine who were sitting in the corner of the garden looked at each other. Apparently they have the same interests as other guests.

"Ian hasn't decided on his wife yet, it's better if we can get the girl."

Maura laughed at the elder's words.

Are they kidding?!

Just a few months ago they tried to kill her and now they want to marry her?

Did they think that the girl would come without a fight?!
