The Padlock of Destiny
Dreamtime

“Freedom. Your existence will set me free. Agent Shin Hyora, or should I call her Rara Castiello? Single daughter Castiello?”

Hyora was surprised again. His suspicions were proven. It has to do with the Mafia. It's just that he didn't expect that it was Castiello's family.

“We don't have much time. Five more minutes of my help will arrive, you better leave now!”

Hyora moved in the midst of confusion. He decided to give up the chance to kill Maura because she still had the information he wanted.

Running out of the hotel room, Hyora gives the danger code to the CCTV camera, knowing that her partner will monitor this mission through the security camera.

He was shocked when he met Kyuhyun at the end of the corridor. Hiding his emotions, he ran with the man.

“Down, agent Jung Soo will be waiting for you in the parking area.” Said the man while throwing a communication device at him.

Hyora nodded her head catching the phone and glanced at it before running in the opposite direction. Kyuhyun will distract the pursuers.

After that, Hyora opened the suitcase and realized that this chip was fake. After thinking about what Maura said to him, this mission might just be empty bait.

Hyora returned to the headquarters and handed the suitcase to her superior before returning to the apartment. He plans to take the first flight to Miami the next day.

Who would have thought that girl was fast asleep. He feels he has received a call from Kyuhyun and the two quarrel over the mission. But his memory runs away until he wakes up next to Kyuhyun before the shooting.

FLASHBACK ENDS.

Hyora returned to her room in the Castiello mansion. Even with his request to prepare the room with simple decorations, his room still seemed luxurious.

Her father had been preparing a room for his daughter ever since he learned of her whereabouts. He even ordered special staff to buy seasonal clothes and keep them in his room.

Lazily, Hyora soaked warm water in the bathup. He sipped a sip of red wine while recalling the brief moment of his friendship with Kyuhyun.

Tok tok tok tok

“Young lady, young master came to talk to Miss.” Said a servant from behind the door.

“I'm tired, let him come tomorrow. You go too, I'll take a break in a minute.”

“But Miss..”.

“Go! I don't like to repeat my words!” Hyora hissed furiously. He was not used to having a waiter 24 hours a day who always followed him.

“Sorry Miss, I understand.”

The room was quiet again after the servant left. Hyora let out a long breath before moving from the bathroom. She put on her nightgown before dropping into her soft big mattress.

“I miss me dear..” Mumbled before falling into a dream.

-o0●0o

The dream came unexpectedly. Hyora suddenly sees herself at Cho Kyuhyun's grave. He cried to see the engraving of the name on the gravestone.

“Why are you crying? Kyuhyun is dead.. “

Hyora raised her head when she heard her words. In front of him, there was a man standing in an expensive suit.

“Kyuhyun!” Shouted Hyora, she ran into his arms.

“Sorry Miss Shin, I'm not Kyuhyun.” The man's words pushed Hyora's body away. He refused the girl's embrace.

“You Cho Kyuhyun!” Hyora said it clearly, she recognized her familiar face. His clear eyes, handsome face, even the small mole in his ears were very similar.

“Cho Kyuhyun is dead. I'm not Cho Kyuhyun.” The man insisted that he was not the man Hyora meant to be.

“My name is $#%@%!”

Hyora could not hear his name, as she tried to ask for more clarity, the man's body suddenly shattered and disappeared.

“OPPA!”

Hyora woke up with a gasp of breath, she was crying when she saw her room space. Was it just a dream? Why did the man show up now? Was his longing only worth that short dream?

Hyora buried her face in her folded legs. She returns to being a weak girl like in her past who can only cry.

A waitress knocked on her door, she relayed a message that her father and brother would wait for Hyora to have breakfast together.

“I understand, you can go!”

Hyora's voice sounded hoarse and made her servant worried. But her young lady had already warned her to stay away from her room, she also did not like to repeat her words. After considering it, the waiter decided to retreat.

Twenty minutes later Hyora descended into the dining room in a light blue dress that looked beautiful.

“Honey, why are your eyes flushed?” Bernard asked who was sitting in the main seat.

The dining table was occupied by only three people. Hyora sat down in front of her brother who was now looking at her sharply.

“I can't sleep overnight.” The lies were spoken smoothly from Hyora's lips.

The two looked at each other before changing their expressions. This little girl didn't want to talk about it, so forget about it.

“Don't sleep too late, I'll call the doctor if you have sleep problems.” Bernard said in a light tone.

“No need, just adapt in this house.” Hyora drank the honey milk the waiter gave her.

They started to enjoy the food in front of them.

“Silver works overtime, after losing three fingers and toenails, they finally say everything.”

“Uhuk! Andrews! Don't talk about such a thing at the dinner table!” Bernard was afraid that his daughter's appetite would disappear if he listened to Andrew's torture methods.

Andrew looked at Bernard with a look of disbelief. He has not even explained his torture methods. Moreover, her little daughter was not as weak as she seemed.

“Dad... let him explain what they say.”

“So, from the beginning Maura really wanted to use you. But he didn't take part in your shooting.” Andrew said briefly.

He also learned that the Robaine woman was very cunning. Ever since her brother became the leader, she had always been wary of the main lineage that threatened her position. No wonder they were involved in hundreds of behind-the-scenes murder schemes.

A woman who survives such a battle will not be simple. He even has his weaknesses.

“The intention is definitely bad, why don't you kill him on the spot!” Bernard looked at Andrew with wonder, since when did his son's temperament become this gentle.

“Hey, dad. I wanted to kill him but Rara blocked me, can I still move?”

“She is still useful.” Hyora nodded her head.

“That woman, as long as you can control her.

“That's the color I shot him. That would be a warning so he doesn't do anything.”

Bernard looked at Hyora with great agreement. She is indeed her real daughter. Very similar to the precautionary attitude of his mother while still alive. Had Shin Hyeri been alive, he would have been proud of her.

“So... the worst possibility is Ian Robaine proposing marriage to Rara.” Andrew said with his eyes staring at his coffee cup. He laughed without a sense of humor, a flash of murder visible in his eyes.
