The Villainess Wants To Die
Ch. 7 – Final Conflicts

If Zara's flawed novel is seen from Verra's point of view, then the genre is no longer a romance drama but tragedy-angst. Wh why? Because the contents of Verra's heart are opposite to his arbitrary attitude when in front of others. The saddest thing was not Celine who was an adopted child and had always been the target of Verra's hatred. But, the saddest one was Verra. The innocent little girl who knew nothing of losing both her parents, used for years only to get what was supposed to be hers, the people who protected her secretly died one by one, and it ends in death and has no friends.

There are 3 people who are missing for protecting Verra. The first is the son of the school owner who is silent about keeping the taste to Verra, the second is the famous lawyer Gerion Miller, who is, then the third one was an old lady of a florist who helped Verra before being captured by the male lead.

Death flags.

Antagonists are also humans who eat rice drink water, not robots who do not eat and drink. He had a heart and a feeling, unlike the male lead, whose heart was only for Celine and who had no sympathy for others.

Not that here defending antagonists, but I think everyone deserves their own happiness.

If only the original Verra in the novel had known all this, would he have saved her?

*******

The world is vast, there are many types of people in it. People say... The good guys stay a little, the rest are the bad guys. The world is cruel indeed, but is it cruel enough to take advantage of an innocent girl thirsting for affection?

In the original novel, lawyer Gerion Miller is one of the key people in Verra's survival. Since he was her protector, as much as possible Gerion's lawyer protected Verra remotely. Verra often makes a tantrum in school to the female protagonist, indeed the male protagonists will just shut up to see the person he likes being bullied by the evil girl? Nothing happened. Verra thinks Xendra's grandfather solved the problem, but the one who solved Verra's problem is Gerion's lawyer. Verra didn't know that at all.

It is a flawed novel, an imperfect novel whose plot is unclear. The drama has not been resolved. Due to being too focused on the female protagonist and the male protagonist, there are some unresolved dramas, it has ended with the happy ending of the female protagonist with her partner, and others are not happy ending.

Unfairly.

Zara is not a reliable novel writer whose plot is very good and its shortcomings are covered by its advantages, she is only a reader and admirer of drama genre novels. Basically also Zara is a regular High School graduate majoring in IPA with the best grades. Zara is a fighter, struggling to live school relying on scholarships even though her family includes an able family. No one knows the fact that Zara is the adopted son of the Amethyst family. Though Zara could continue to study at a famous University with her intelligence, but the restraints of her adoptive parents is heartwarming to give up scholarships and take care of her sister every day.

The unresolved drama... For example, the resolution of the final conflict problem, Prof. Geraldine Kyle, who has AI across the country in chaos, is exposed to a virus, a virus that makes AIs go crazy and kill each other between AIs. Many victims are falling because of this AI mess. And... This is where the misunderstanding between the female protagonist and the male protagonist is complete. The evidence refers to him, but Prof. Geraldine Kyle did not admit it and instead mentioned the name of the person who had long since died. Also the clarity about the death of Verra's secret admirer who was said to have committed suicide. Gerion Miller's death was reported in a fatal accident.

This is a flawed novel. The drama of the unfinished conflict, may be resolved by the author himself by facing it himself.

It would be best if I followed Gerion's lawyer alone, it's fine if the house conflict is skipped. After all, the main setting of this story is in the school environment. Also, I can feel safe under the protection of Gerion's lawyer.

All right, I've decided.

After thinking for a while, Verra finally decided. "I want to join Om Rion, because only Rion om only I remember. That's also dad's will, I want."

"As you wish, Miss. From today I will take care of you, at home with my wife!" Glad to Gerion.

Mr. Xendra was coldly hot listening to Verra's reply. The old man did not want to lose his gold, did not want to lose the person who would be the addition of his wealth. "CAN'T!!"

Brak!

Mr. Xendra hits the table with a stick that always helps him walk. The sound of buzz created was so loud, of course it echoed throughout this vast living room. It also shocked two people who didn't seem to understand what he was worried about.

Verra is the main heir to EV Company, a company that dared to rival ATKINS GROUP in just a few short years. Mr. Xendra doesn't like that. He aspired to take control of the EV Company through his own main heir, making a way for the heir to hand over the EV Company easily without the need to seize it by force.

"Why? Why can't I go? Besides, Om Gerion is Dad's best friend and a trusted man, I'll be safe with him." Verra said calmly after being shocked Mr. Xendra kicked the table with his cane.

Verra let out a short sigh, the insecurity when in this luxurious mansion made her claustrophobic. Just feel safe when near Geon, just that Geon is not always at home. If there was a great opportunity to get out of this stifling place, then he would use it extremely well.

Disruptive insecurity, if you continue to be in the unsafe zone, Verra may be like them. As people say, if you are fighting a demon then be careful not to become like that demon. Not wanting revenge, not having hatred for them. Hate and vengeance will only destroy you.

I should have made a bow of gratitude, because Aunt Nita and Celine were away. If they were here then it was certain that their way of preventing me from leaving would be very troublesome. Think Verra.

Mr. Xendra thought what else to say for Verra to stay, a while later the old man said. "Verra, I'm so worried about you. Since you were little, we have been taking care of you like our own children. I'm worried if you're far away."

Worried if the opportunity to master the EV Company through its own main heir is getting smaller. Verra continued in a heart that already knew what the old man's rot was like.

Verra commented that the gentle smile was certainly fake as they paid attention to her. "It's okay, Grandpa. Om Rion is Dad's trust, and of course he'll protect me to make sure I'm safe. Isn't that right, Om Rion?" Verra turned towards Gerion.

"Of course it's true. I'll make sure miss lives well and safely with me." Gerion said with a professional smile.

"Well, now Grandpa just trust Om Rion. I believe in him too."

Mr. Xendra resigned, no longer knowing how he would persuade the girl who is the main heir of a large company. It's okay, not until one day maybe Verra will come back... "All right, if you want to. Don't be long, grandpa's gonna miss you."

Verra did not answer, but Gerion answered. "There is no need to rush, if the lady wants a long time please if you want a moment is also okay. My door is always open for the lady at any time."

***********

It had been a few minutes after Verra and Gerion had exited the Atkinson mansion area. Verra sat in the passenger seat next to the driver while Gerion sat focused on the steering wheel.

Silent. The two do not talk to each other. Gerion focused on driving and Verra sat while looking out.

"Miss, you're not what you used to be. Wouldn't it be more fun to avoid me? You'd rather be there." Gerion opened the sound of silence between the two. There is no 'me' and 'you'. It's 'me' and 'you'. Gerion spoke to Verra casually.

Verra was still staring out and replied, "I don't know anything. It's just that being in the mansion feels unsafe, like in the middle of a forest full of predators ready to prey. Not safe, it's stifling. So is it wrong if I just follow Om Rion?"

In the novel Zara has written that Verra does not hate Gerion at all. Unexplained details of what it will be like, Zara just wrote Verra does not hate Gerion.

Gerion smiled. Not a professional smile that often appears to face people out there, but a thin smile that is happy. How not to be happy? Finally Gerion can run the will of his late best friend. Did you see that, Stevan? I will make your beloved eldest daughter always safe and have a good life.

Verra turned to look at Gerion who was commenting on a faint smile. "Is om Rion doing all this because of om's duty? It's just doing the job, right?" Ask Verra. No. gabe... He just wanted to make sure that Gerion really loved Verra. It's okay if only carrying out his duties, the important thing is that he can live well and safely.

"Of course not. I promised your father that I would take good care of you, if there were no Mr. Atkinson from the main family since childhood you lived with Om and Auntie!" Reply Gerion with his smile. If the main family did not take Verra, it was certain that Gerion and his wife would not be lonely because of Verra in their place. They will also care for and raise Verra with all their heart like raising their own children. Sure do. Because they have been married for a dozen years but have not been given a baby by God.

"Tante Ara would also be very fond if you came. If you don't remember Aunt Ara, she's Om's wife!" Terbuka Gerion. Gerion loved his wife very much, always walking hand in hand towards the future, both loving and complementing each other. It's just not having children after a dozen years of marriage, of course, it becomes a condemnation for relatives and neighbors.

Aunt Ara is Gerion's lawyer... I don't know what happened to her after her husband's death...
