A luxury car had just passed through a gate that was heavily guarded by several well-dressed people. They wore black suits with maroon-colored ties tied around their necks, in their noses draped in black glasses.
In the courtyard there is a garden arranged in such a way, although the sky is still dark but does not reduce its beauty. In the middle of the front yard of the house there is a fountain with a statue of gods who are playing musical instruments in their hands.
At the end of the front yard stands a magnificent building with a spacious so spacious. The combination of classic and modern styles in the exterior exudes harmonization that makes the house so beautiful and charming. There are three floors with several balconies on the second and third floors.
From the balcony of the second floor stood two stairs that were deliberately formed half round. Each side of the building is equipped with so large arched windows. After climbing the circular staircase, stood a large door towering high with a brown wooden accent.
The two-leaf giant door with a transom on its left right opened as Aldrich arrived in front of him. The first room to be encountered when first entering is a foyer room that is so spacious. The interior style of this house is dominated by sparkling white and gold colors, giving the impression of luxury and elegance.
The floor is made of sparkling white marble. Crystal lights hanging from the ceiling. There are crystal ornaments and special carvings at every corner. A collection of jars with various carvings decorate the corners of the room. There are various paintings from famous painters on the walls. Near the giant window was a large shelf containing the award that Aldrich Eclair had won.
A group of men in the same uniform as the gatekeeper welcomed his return.
"Welcome great lord Ellair." they were quilted without anyone daring to stare directly at Aldrich's face. Aldrich just walked past them all without taking his eyes off.
A butler came over to Aldrich intending to help his master take the little girl, but was immediately rejected by him. "No, Fernandez! Just let me."
Aldrich felt a curious look from his men. He said in a voice that was not loud but was heard to the ears of every subordinate. "She's your young Miss who went missing four years ago."
They gave the tabik to the little girl while conveying their joy because finally the Young Miss of the Ellair family had returned with them.
"Master, Madam will definitely be very happy to know this good news." Fernandez exclaimed excitedly.
"Yes, I hope so. Where's Lynelle?"
"The big lady was in her room she was asleep, my lord." replied Fernandez trailing behind.
"Call doctor Gomer immediately! Make sure he comes tonight. Take him to room V." he ordered.
"Okay, my lord." he replied while giving a code to one of the maids who was also tailing behind him.
In front of the foyer room there is a higher room with no insulation. The room was used as the heart of the house. This room is decorated in a contemporary style with a luxurious and comfortable impression.
Entering deeper there is a transom door that separates the living room with the nimfeum room - a room in Ancient Roman times decorated by fountains, plants, and other, and statues-that can pamper both eyes with its peaceful impression. In this room there is also a very large swimming pool.
Go deeper through the corridor with a door made entirely of glass. In the corridor there are different street lanes. Each hallway leads to certain rooms.
They climbed a large circular staircase. The ceiling of the stairs penetrated to the third floor. On the ceiling there are beautiful colorful mosaics. The staircase is facing a wall designed with glass that displays the back side of the house.
In a room with a large building. The walls of the room were pink with gradations. Long lights with star-shaped ends dangling adorn the ceiling.
On the east side of the room is a large bed with curtains around it, complete with a bench. On the bed surrounded by dolls of light brown bears with a variety of sizes. The room was prepared before.
"You wait outside until I command you to come in." Aldrich ordered the servants to follow him.
Aldrich Ellair put the little girl on the bed very carefully.
"I don't care about your previous life, what your name is, who your parents are and where you live. From today on, you're taking the place of my son who died four years ago. Call me Papah and call my wife Mamah.
Your name is now V, for your full name we'll talk about tomorrow. You are forbidden to tell anyone who you really are, you are also forbidden to leave the house without my permission, and you are forbidden to behave as you please.
All my words are orders and you are forbidden to argue! You only have one right, the right to life. Any question?" obviously with so much emphasis in every tribe he said. His cold-sounding tone, the piercing look in his eyes made his entire body crumble. Spontaneous V shook his head weakly in fear.
He smiled with satisfaction, "Good. Rest up!" that last sentence was accompanied by a warm kiss on V's forehead.
Moments after V closed his eyes, Gomer's doctor came to check on him. There were no internal injuries other than bruises on his body. Doctor Gomer also praised V's endurance, not many children his age are able to survive physical injuries like those experienced by V. Ia also worried about the psychic condition of V, not infrequently children the age of V experienced trauma after kidnapping let alone V found in tragic circumstances.
"Regarding the color of her hair, I'm afraid it's a side effect of the drugs they're using to paralyze Young Miss" Gomer's doctor said.
"Yes, her hair color is not normal. I barely recognized him when I first met him." Aldrich's reply falsely confirmed Gomer's doctor's speculation that he was not suspicious about V's true identity. "Bring the blood sample to the lab to make sure."

At midnight Aldrich Eclair was still busy with sheets of paper piling up on his desk. Every now and then he asked with a man sitting before him, every time the man answered his sentence would be a long streak. They spend their nights discussing things until the sun appears on the eastern horizon.
"Master? Do you really trust their loyalty?" ask the man a little worried.
The man was certainly not satisfied with his master's answer, he continued to search for Aldrich Eclair with questions that he had long wanted to ask. He never doubted his master's decision, only he always needed a detailed explanation so that if later his master's plan did not go smoothly he had found the right solution to overcome it.
Unfortunately Aldrich is not a person who likes to spend his time explaining things. Ia prefers someone who without saying already understands what he wants. So the man had to painstakingly understand Aldrich's way of thinking with his own efforts.
"You know? You ask too many questions when you've been following me since you were little, but you still don't understand." Aldrich Ellair lamented to the man.
"I'm sorry, Master. I let you down again."
"No problem. As you're worried, the Giorbys are notorious for being sneaky. You must be worried that my decision will harm the organization, let alone that we just stood up a few years ago is still not strong enough to face giants like them."
Aldrich Ellair certainly understood the concerns of his members when he decided to work with the Giorby family. They were of course afraid that in the end Dark Shadow would be forcibly taken over for not being able to protect themselves, let alone that the content of the cooperation was more favorable for the Giorby family.
Aldrich chose expansion through the territory of the Giorby family of course with careful consideration. He considered the cooperation that for most people harmed them as a stepping stone to make it easier for them to expand as quickly as possible in the western region of the country, while taking over the northern territory belonging to the Giorby family.
Ia understood to be the ruler in the underground world of course had to dare to gamble with his luck. If he is too much afraid and worried not only will he be left behind it could be he who will be played by those who are more powerful.
A giant map unfolds on the floor as Aldrich Ellair throws it. He explained his plans and the possibilities that could happen to the man. He also asked the man to prepare everything very neatly without the slightest gap because a little gap could ruin his other plans.
On the other hand, a woman who was wearing clothes a little different from the other female servants was busy giving command to several other servants to prepare for V's needs that morning.
V was still sleeping soundly as the woman woke him gently. The woman introduces herself as Countess Rozita Zwetta, V's babysitter mother who Aldrich had just picked up a few hours ago.
That morning V shivered from the pain he felt when he opened his eyes. But last night the pain was not as severe as he felt this morning. V obeyed every word Rozita, he did not dare to argue because always imagined the eyes of Aldrich Eclair intimidating.
Worse after a while the servants came out of his room Aldrich Eclair stood on the doorstep carrying a folding tray table containing their breakfast. Although when Aldrich sat on the edge of V's mattress while putting a friendly face but did not reduce the fear in V's heart.
"Listen carefully to your full name. You have to be able to memorize it" said Aldrich Eclair helping V drink his warm chocolate milk.
"Cassandra Lobelia Eleonore Athena Marioline Delyth Gretania Islean Adeline Lavina Cadis Marizta Ellair Princessa Light Queenna Luvy Kiyandra Calista Magaly Nyx" she continued.
V seemed speechless and thought, "Stands on twenty-one syllables?"
Aldrich Eclair sighed, "I shouldn't have expected much of you." he didn't answer V's question making the little girl pursed her lips not accept his memory being humbled by others.
