Vortice In Vendetta

CHAPTER 21: Emotions of Adelio

"You've been missing for over two years and now it's come with shocking news?" said Raga with a tone of barbalut rejection.

"I promise to be happy with him. I promise to take care of him, but I beg you to give me the opportunity to prove it all. To prove all my words are the same brother."

Yudha clasped Adelio's hand and looked at him with confidence. They both showed very strange attitudes.

Eight Months Ago..

"My men managed to find the whereabouts of Lady Angela" reported Yudha who suddenly invited Adelio to meet in a hut living in the middle of the village.

"He managed the boutique and managed to become a famous fashion designer in the city center. Everyone knows her as Lady Arumi. He is the owner of Sky Boutique which is also a major partner of Goksel Kingdom.

His son Lucio, renamed Arsen, was about twenty-five years old. What is surprising is that all this time he worked as the Chairman of the Marketing Team at Goksel Entertainment. They are both near you bang." explained Yudha while showing some evidence such as photos, documents and some other files.

"To my knowledge the Madam had an accident about a year after she left the Castle. The accident injured about 65% of her face and it caused major changes after the surgery. He slipped as an enemy in a blanket for Mr. Sanjaya."

"What do you really want to explain?" adelio asked with a sharp turning eye.

"Please see Madam, there is something she wants to tell you." Pinta Yudha sounded sincere.

Actually Yudha has long managed to track down Angela's whereabouts. He knows Arsen very well. Arsen was the manager who handled Icy Aylana directly.

But the original purpose was war and sheep fighting. He is too interested in Jea's cunning and intends to play her a little. The girl was very cunning, she really felt very challenged.

Namin the more he knew the deepest side of the girl's emotions. Slowly he's getting weaker. Her heart kept on taking her to help Jea. "He doesn't deserve to be the object of revenge" he thought.

Honestly, he is actually also interested in the game Adelio and also Mr. Sanjaya. But the more he thought he lost his identity as Yudha, the Devil of the Black World.

He had to help the girl. She's a good girl. It was just that he was caught between so many intertwined grudges. Even Angela said the same thing.

"I sent people to watch him from afar. I was so sure he was a good boy. You won't get anything from Sanjaya even if you use it. The man is demon-hearted, he has no affection. His daughter will never be his weakness."

Yudha's eyes slowly began to open. Especially when he saw the girl who was so similar to his brother. Their nature is almost the same. He was completely devastated by the existence of the girl despite not daring to admit it.

****

"Please give me a chance to prove it all. To prove all my words are the same brother."

The words he was referring to were his words about the true identity of Jea. He did not discuss his promise to marry Jea.

He is so sincere at this time that it is difficult to know his hidden heart.

"alright. I'll bless you guys. But with Jea's new identity, I'm sure that the three of us won't be able to attend in your celebration." explains Lio who is aware of their plans.

"God bless us and please be present, Jea no problem bang. Aunt Arumi who will be introduced as my mother and guardian later."

Jea's words made Adelio flinch. Yudha had gone so far. She even wears Angela as a mock mother for Aylana. Although unbeknownst to the two, but he has managed to unite mother and child who had separated dozens of years.

"Did I make a mistake?" asked Jea who was aware of the change in her brother's attitude.

"Abang is just moved and worried because of your marriage Je." said Raga tried to calm down.

While Adelio, he just passed into the kitchen and pretended to be good by cooking a meal for all of them.

"Which worries?" lirih Jea tried to approach him carefully.

"Do you know who I really am?"

It turned out that all this time the reason Lio had left was to hold back the anger. He was gathering all of his feelings and venting them at one time.

One..Two.. Three..

He pointed the kitchen knife he was holding toward Jea. But the girl didn't budge at all.

"Bang, Stop!" Rayden screeched as he suddenly watched the scene right in front of his own eyes.

He was about to step up, but was afraid that Jea would get hurt. Rayden is basically a puppet robot specially programmed by Mrs Clara and also Lio at the same time.

It was Lio who kept him inside the house. All of his actions were under Lio's scenario. While Clara, he controlled it with a memory-suppressing drug that slowly made the young man dissolve in hallucinations and was convicted of insanity due to his abstract behavior.

"I kept quiet for the sake of protecting her. Don't try to hurt her because I'm not entirely what you imagined it to be." Rayden threatened with a trembling voice.

Jea raised her hand towards Rayden, as if hinting him to be quiet. The look in his eyes slowly turned sharp as he looked at Lio.

"I'm also the doll you play bang with, but it doesn't seem like you really know me." said the girl in a voice that sounded very calm.

Jea stepped forward even closer towards Lio who was still looking at him with a look of hatred. He challenged those eyes, and saw exactly how the slowly turning eyes turned red and there were tear-filled patches there.

"I'm not afraid. I have no emotions, you know exactly that." - she said in a hoarse voice.

He held the knife right in front of his eyes. Grasping it so tightly that fresh blood began to pour from there.

"You who raised me very well, but still could not know me." the girl advanced, making the young man before her more and more angled towards the burning stove.

Clik..

Jea grabbed the stove knob that was right behind Lio's body and turned it off. Lio's body instantly relaxed and his body staggered. It seems not Jea but he who is now being intimidated.

The girl threw the knife out the window and crouched down right in front of Lio who was sweating coldly. He squeezed his hand and let the blood fall right in front of Adelio's eyes.

"If this is what makes you happy, then kill me bang! but remember, that I'm still the flesh and blood of that brother you love so much." he said intimidatingly.

"Jeez!!" the girl suddenly fell unconscious just as Yudha grabbed her body from behind. The atmosphere turned frantic, especially as so much blood was strewn everywhere.
