" If you grow up, what will you like to be?" Dixie asked as they walk back home from school.
"A model, what about you?" Avery cooed
"Wife of a popular cold CEO who will only love me and smile for only me" Dixie smirked and Avery hit her lightly on the head.
"Don't be silly you are only 15, you are too young to be dreaming about love life" Avery scold.
"Yeah, what about you, you are just 19 and guys are floating around you like you are honey" Dixie said and pick to her heels.
"You little brat, they are just red light to distract one from her purpose of life, don't be flattered by what you see" Avery gritted running after her.
"Haha" Dixie laugh heartily running inside the house.
"That brat, she said that cause she knew we are home already" Avery scoffed and walk in.
"Good noon mom, Good noon dad" she greeted politely and walk in.
"How was school hun?" Mrs Murphy cooed
"School was fine, if not for Dixie who was a pain in the as*" Avery scoffed.
"Its not me mom, its Avery, she rejects and bully every guy that ask her out" Dixie defended.
"Is that true Avery?" Mr Murphy asked.
"But dad.." She trailed off not knowing what to say.
"But what, Avery, get yourself a boyfriend already, you are 19" Mrs Murphy scolded.
"Gross!, mom stop saying that, I feel like poking" she said and faked hiccups as she run out of the sitting room heading to her room.
"Aih, Avery, when will you learn you are getting older?" Mrs Murphy sighed as she cut her pie while Mr Murphy helped her mix the flour.
"Don't worry, they are gonna find, a loving husband just like me" Mr Murphy said and pat his wife, pecking her cheeks.
"I pray so honey, but not your stubborn part" Mrs Murphy smiled turning her pie on the oven.
"Am gonna deal with you today, you mouth running brat" Avery said jokingly as she approach Dixie.
"Oh yeah?, I like to watch you try" Dixie smiled and fling her top across the room and it landed on Avery's face.
"Am so gonna spank you today" Avery gritted and jump on Dixie.
"You brat" she said dragging her cheeks playfully.
"Mommy, daddy, help me, Avery is killîng me here" Dixie cried wiggling her leg in air.
~~DOWN STAIRS ~~
"Honey, don't you think you will get us into trouble?" Mrs Murphy asked.
"No, am not among their clan, I just helped them carry out a message that's all, which earn us a good pay" Mr Murphy replied and mrs Murphy sighed and frowned.
"Have told you, this your love for money will lead us to trouble one day" Mrs Murphy scoffed.
"It won't, beside am not a mafia clan and no other clan knows me, so don't be bothered" he patted.
"I am bothered, because, its better to be in the clan and run errands than not to be, no one will protect since you are not one of them, don't you think its even a trap?" she argued.
"I don't have time for what you are calling for honey, so am just gonna leave you and go sit over there" he said and walk out.
Avery walked out with her bag hung on her shoulder.
"Mom, am off to Sugar's house" she said and her mom just nod wearing a fake smile.
"I don't know Murphy, but am worried" Mrs Murphy cried and continued with what she is doing.
~~SUGAR'S APARTMENT~~
"give it to me, it's mine blocked headed boy" Sugar cried as she chased Dior.
"Come get it, if you can." Dior smiled meanly and continue running round the house.
"I give up, you can take it anyway, dad will get me another one" sugar said as she bowed down breathing hard.
"Berra," he said and turned to walk in but he quickly turn around as he feel someone's presence.
"Avery" he called happily.
"Hey Dior" Avery smiled.
"You came?" He asked smiling widely.
"Not for you but for me, lover boy" Sugar interruptd and walk to Avery.
"Yes, I came for Sugar, we had a group assignment to work on" Avery smiled and Dior face fell
"Oh" he mouthed.
"Sorry, friend" Avery muttered and follows sugar inside.
He sighed and rubbed the back of his head, as he held his pounding heart.
"Just stop heating fast, she will never look at us" he said looking at his heart region as if he is talking to a human.
He look at the door she followed.
"If I can't make you mine now Avery, I will make you like in future" he smiled and walk in too.
He is 20, while Sugar, his kid sister is 18, they are best friend since childhood, he had been crushing on her for a long time but knowing the kind of person Avery is, he can't confess his feelings for her or he might ruin their friendship.
He walk behind them as they heard for sugar's room.
Getting to Sugar's room, she slammed the door on his face.
"Go away, we are about doing our assignment, go do yours" Sugar said and lean on the door.
"That brat" Dior gritted.
He smirked and walk to the room where they kept things and took the ladder out.
Luckily their parents are not at home to scold them.
He walk to Sugar's window and place it there.
He climb the ladder and begin peep on them.
"So we should write down symbol of the first 40 elements?" Sugar asked and Avery nod.
"Jeez, how I hate chemistry, i just need business stuff, I might later change course, I can't continue this torture" she said and pout her lips.
"And Dixie love physics, chemistry and biology whole hearted, she loves creating things with her imaginations" Avery said.
"Wish I can be like her" Sugar pouted.
Sugar look around the room as she feels an eye on them.
Her eyes landed on the tip of fingers on her window.
No one need to tell her who is there.
She picked her water flask and move it to her mouth.
She pump water into her mouth and begin to make it dance round the wall of her teeth.
"Excuse me," she muffled and stand up heading towards the window.
Dior was fast to glue his self below the window wall like he a wall gecko.
Sugar threw the water out of her mouth and then take her flask of water, as She begin to pour it away just like that.
She stare at the sky as she does that, knowing the water is directly going to Dior's head.
"Aarh" she sighed as she empty the flask and turn around.
"Am ready" she said to Avery who was already jutting down the elements.
Dior's jaw danced in anger.
That annoying little sister of his, he knew she did that intentionally.
He look at his drenched self and step down the ladder as he walk back into the house.
"Imma bend you today, Sugar" he gritted as he head for his room to get changed.
Avery suddenly heard a sound that shook the room and she gasped.
"Do you think it will rain soon?" she asked.
"i don't know but that sound like it will rain soon, but there is no sign in the cloud" Sugar said as she checked the sky
"You are right, but I better get going or the rain might come unexpected" Avery cooed and begin to pack her things.
She got a little cold in her so she avoids cold environments.
"Awwn, I wish you don't leave soon" Sugar pouted as she packed her things too.
They opened the door and Dior's face come into view.
"Hey" he smiled as he already changed clothes.
"You change clothes already?" Avery asked surprised.
"Yeah, I just got stained and I had to get change" he said giving Sugar the look of "just run away, if you see me".
"Okay then, I need to get going, I don't know if it will be raining soon" she cooed and he nod.
Avery proceed down stairs while he grab Sugar's hand and dragged her inside her room.
He locked her inside laughing meanly.
"This is gonna be fun" he said to her hearing before leaving.
"I will get back at you, you..."she trailed off not knowing what to say.
Dior laughed and rush down stairs to join Avery.
"Where is Sugar?" Avery asked.
"Well, she suddenly had running stomach, so she went to ease her self" he lied and Avery nod.
Right now her mind seem to be at home.
He walk her to the road glancing at her through the corner of his eyes as he gulp down countless times.
"Kim Nana" he suddenly called and she turn to face him weirdly.
"Sorry I call you by your Korean Name, can I ask you a question?" He asked and she nod.
"Are you going to marry from your country or a foreigner?"he asked and she paused.
"Time will tell, Dior, I don't know, I am not future you know?"she smiled.
"Then I hope the future make me your foreign husband" he blurted and her eyes widened.
"Sorry, I didn't mean that, I mean I hope you get married to a foreign husband, cause it's gonna suit you well" he lied and Avery just shrugged her shoulders.
"I with get going now" she said and stop a cab.
"Okay then, bye, take care." He smiled and she nod.
***
Avery got to her apartment and step out as she pays the cab man.
Her jaw dropped when she turn around.
Police cars were there as they circled the area.
Wait where is her house?, the house was down already, police were already placing the 'restricted area' symbols there.
"Where is my mom" she cried as she run into the half collapsed building.
Is this the wrong house or what?
She could still recognize the sitting room she rushed there to meet the police trying to get her dad remaining body under a block.
"No, this is a nightmare" she cried closing her eyes.
Its not up to two hours she left her family and this is what she is seeing now.
So it's wasn't a rainstorm she heard, its was a bomb blast?
She look beside her and she could saw her mom shoe on the floor.
"Where is my mom?" she asked as she begin to dig the the fallen blocks out to see if she could see her mom too.
"where is my mother?" She screamed in tears while a female police move to calm her down.
"Sorry miss, before we could get here your mom was already missing, we found your dad half body here" she said and Avery stare at her lke a lunatic.
"Wait, where is Dixie?" she suddenly asked.
"Who is Dixie?" the female police asked.
"My kid sister, I left her upstairs" she said and stand up running to climb the stairs.
Luckily that part of the building was still standing.
She climb as fast as her leg could carry her till she go their room and pushed the weaked door opened.
She met two mask guy in the room, they were both dressed in complete black.
One with the blonde hair while the other with pure black hair.
The one with blonde hair was carrying her sister on his shoulder ready to jump through the window while the black haired one was trailing behind him, giving him a very good distance.
"Hey, who are you two give me my sister" she said approaching the black haired one first since he is not holding anything, he will be easy to knocked down.
"No, no, no don't come closer" the black haired guy said coldly moving back, like he is scared of her.
Avery was deaf that moment, the one with the unconscious Dixie pulled a pistol out and fired at her and it hit her on her shoulder region as she fall to the floor with her eyes half closed.
"Let go" the guy said to the black haired one and he nod as they both jump out of the window using a rope.
Avery watch them while she gasped for air, while blood rushed out of her shoulder.
"Dixie" she cried as tears rolled down her cheeks to the floor as her eyes slowly close on their own.
The police woman rushed in and met her unconscious body on the floor.
She quickly pull her cell phone out and contact an ambulance immediately.
"Hey, kiddo, hey" the police cried shaking Avery.
~~FIVE YEARS LATER~~
~~PATRIC MODELLING STUDIO 9:00AM~~
The sound of heals could be heard and everyone turned to see the gorgeous lady with that sound of authoritative movement.
They are two people who had that footsteps in that company, Karin and Avery.
Its was no other lady than Avery.
She sways her slender body as she walk majestically, looking so cute in her red body hugged gown which stopped below her knee.
👥"Oh my, I wish boss can just promote her to the highest level, instead of that proud Karin"
👥"yeah, you are right, I like her more"
👥" she even look good to act thrilling movies"
Avery rolled her eye balls as she proceed to the stage to get her shoot done and step out.
Her secretary walk to her and hand her a fury hoodie.
"Here miss Kim, this will be needed for the shoot" Sarah cooed.
"Thank you Sarah" Avery smiles and collect the hoodie as she put it on and walk into the stage.
They got into work immediately and she begin to make her poses.
Of course that has always been her dream and also she had worked hard for this.
The entry door burst opened revealing black heels.
Her long white legs making the men there to salivate.
She let out a side smirk as she proceed into the building trying every possible step to make sure her a*s are jingling on their own.
👥"Gosh Karin"
👥"did she has shoot today too?"
👥"she is beautiful though"
👥"Am sure without her rich dad, she would have been nothing"
Karin gritted her jaw angrily, trying every possible means to ignore their nosy talks.
She got to the stage and sat down on the seat close by.
"Miss Karin, I don't remember mr Patrick telling me you have a shoot today?" The photographer cooed.
"True, but am here to drop a good news" she smirked and crossed her leg.
"Listen good everyone, am going on a dinner with the Peyton's family tonight, which mean I will be getting married to Kim Bum soon, the first son of the Peyton's, you guys know what this means, so from now on, you should mind the way you talk or behave at me" she said maintaining an eye contact with Avery.
👥"woah, congratulations"
👥"congratulations"
👥"Kim Bum?, the last time I checked, I thought he was a gày?, he is not into women, congratulations anyway"
"Eish, karin, you should let things happen first, before telling us, at least you can even prove it with an engagement ring" Avery scoffed and Karin frowned as she rose from her seat, taking slow steps towards Avery.
"I get that you are jealous, but the fact still remains that, I am not the one who caused the bomb blast that killéd your family, i also didn't cause you to he leaving with your friend's family, don't be jealous, cause you will never get to where I am now, and you will never get to be rich and cherished like me, you will never get to smell the Peyton's family, you will..."
"Enough" Avery screamed trying every thing in her not to pinned Karin down and do what will never leave the media history.
"Ops, miss Kim, is angry" she teased and them Sarah intervened.
"Miss Kim, since you are through with your shoots, why don't we go somewhere cool" Sarah cooed.
"You are right, Sarah, they don't argue with dogs anyway" she said and hand Sarah the hoodie before walking pass Karin who could be seen boiling in anger.
"Am so gonna make your life miserable than this Avery, you will regret this" she gritted.
****
"Am gonna get my vengeance no matter what it will cost me, and after that, I can get to deal with you karin" Avery cooed as she got into her car with Sarah.
"You shouldn't mind her miss Kim, I think she is seeking for more attentions, you know what just happened might appear on media now and she will be getting more fans for having a luxurious life " Sarah said and ignite the engine.
"Thank you Sarah" Avery muttered and brought her beeping phone.
"Hey Nana, how are you doing today, sorry I couldn't return home last night, got stucked with work, hope you are doing great?, just want to remind you, if you get angry or get sad, think about me..YOUR BEST FREIND DIOR~~.
Avery just chuckled and text him back.
She won't lie,Dior and Sugar has been the best friend for the past five years, after she was rushed to the hospital, mr Thompson, Dior's father paid her bills and took her in.
He sponsored her educations and she struggled to get here by her self, he offered to still help her though, since she still lives under his roof but she refused.
"Will you want to try out the new restaurant in town?" Sarah asked and she nod.
"Okay" Sarah replied and take a U turn.
**RAVEN RESTAURANT**
"Mmm, the gizzard soup is so sweet, i haven't tried it before." Avery moaned as she chewed slowly.
"Am glad you like it Miss Avery" Sarah smiled.
Sarah phone rings and she picked it up, mumbling a few words to the caller before ending it.
"Miss Avery, your presence is needed at Mr Patrick office". Sarah cooed.
"If Mr Patrick call me because of Karin, then she is gonna see héll after this" ~~WHITE SWAN CLAN~~
A girl could be seen training at the training room, flipping different types of blade.
Her body designed with different types of tattoos.
She flip four blades at ones and a guy caught one in the middle of his index and middle finger as he walk in.
"You are doing well, Candle, I must say am proud of you" he said coldly with a smirk dancing on the side of his lips.
"You can say that again master, am not just called Candle for nothing, my flames maybe small but it's can burn so deep, so is my blades" she smirked looking at the blades in her hand.
"Hmm" he hummed.
"Master Raven, I must say your new hair style look so good" she grinned walking to him as she sways her hips making Raven gulp down.
This hairstyle may look stupid but its worth drooling for.
Half blonde and half black.
"Common Master Raven, stop gulping down like that, have me already, am off age, am twenty now, am matured right, am no more little like you use to say right?" She said as she circle walk round Raven.
This girl!.
she gritted angrily packing up already.
No one dares talk to him in the clan, but she dares everything about him, she tempts him and also disobey him, she is ripe for punishment now right?.
"Master you are not saying anything?, huh?" She asked as she place her self on him moving her hand to his Adam apple.
"Get back to training candle" he said sternly and turn around immediately praying she shouldn't see his bulge.
"Okay master" she pouted.
He sighed thinking she didn't see his bulge.
"I will be gladly waiting for you master, I will still reserve my self for you, like you make me promised five years ago, you are my zaddy and the only person I feel free around, cause it only you I know" she smiled and hold a rope nearby as she push it further to the other.
"Just train and get ready, we are going on a mission tonight" he said .
"To BLUE BLOOD clan?" She said but as usual, he was not surprised.
She is very brilliant and a very sharp girl.
"How did you know?" He asked.
"I visited their master last night, I nearly pulled that his mask away but its pained me I failed" she scoffed as she back flips.
"Candle, I have told you to always be careful out there, you are still a kid" he warned.
"But master you are only older than me with four years..." she trailed off as he shot her a dangerous glare.
"Sorry master, good luck on your dinner of your brother with the Dennison family" she said and he turn to face her with a cold face.
"Don't even think of going anywhere tonight, if am not around, cause I might actually hurt you for real this time around" he said and with that, he left.
"I won't master Raven, but I will do you the honour by taking of that masked master of the BlUE BLOOD CLAN and reveal his true identity, I really need to know who he is" she said walking to the weapon room to create more.
She is also the weapon creator for the clan
~~MR PATRICK'S OFFICE~~
Avery place a gentle knock on the door waiting for his answers.
"Yes come in," came his authoritative voice.
She walk in and he ushered her a seat.
"Welcome Avery, today we will be discussing on a very important topic, different from what we do here, this is just between me and you Miss Avery" he said grinning evilly but he suddenly replace it with a normal smile.
"What is that?" She asked.
"Your vengeance" he grinned.
"My vengeance, me, who says I want vengeance?" She stuttered.
How did this man know she want to emback on vengeance?
"Oh please, Miss Avery, a lot of people know what happened to you, five years ago, it was all over the news, even if everyone has forgotten, you won't, cause deep down the pain still lies in your heart and I know you want vengeance to cleanse it" Mr Patrick said and Avery nod knowing he is saying the truth.
"So what do I have to do, I still haven't have a clue on the particular people that destroy my family" she said and threw her head back.
"I can help you get your vengeance, I know the people who did that to your family" Mr Patrick smirked.
"How?" She asked and quickly lean closer to his table.
"I got clues on this people to be the two guys whom you have said on the news to take your sister away" he said and move his hand to the drawer below his desk.
He brought two pics and hand it over to her.
"Do you now those two?" he asked and Avery brows creased.
"I don't think so" she replied
"Look closely Miss Avery" he said.
Avery looked well and her jaw dropped.
This two guys, their hair, the one with pure black hair and the other one, even if he had dyed his hair half black and half blonde.
She look closely on their neck region and she saw the same tattoo she saw five years ago.
A swan tattoo!!.
"Its those two guys that took my sister, I swear its them" she said and mr Patrick smiled.
"Good miss Avery, you have a good memory, that Kim Bum and Raven the son's of Peyton family" he said and her jaw dropped.
Wait, Kim Bum, she had heard that name today, Karin so called dinner mate or whatever.
"He is having dinner with Karin tonight" she ssaid.
"Good, cause this same night, is the starting of your vengeance" he said and clasped his hand together.
"What do you mean?" she asked
"You know, he is the next kin of the P Hayes company and Raven is the next leader of their mafia clan, so Kim Bum posted on the Model group chat asking if there is any model available for business and I think you are the perfect Lady for whatever business he want" he explained and Avery nod finding everything interesting.
"what next?"
"I told him I had one for him, and he want you to meet up with him by 4:00pm prompt" he said and Avery relaxed back on her chair thinking if what she is doing is right.
"Don't think negative miss Avery, I just want to help, JUST want to help" he said stressing the word 'just'.
"so how do I get my vengeance or get my sister or mom back if I get to meet him today, one can't get vengeance in one day" she said.
"Good question miss Avery" he complimented and push a file to her.
"You are going to make him love you, I heard he hates women, so for him to ask for a model then he must be up to something, get him to love you, get him to wed you and then you can't have your vengeance the way you want," he said and Avery nod.
"If you can have Kim Bum to like you, then you have your full way into the family, cause he is the first son and it so said that he is more dangerous and cold than Raven," he added and Avery hummed
"So what do I do with this file?" She asked pointing at the file at his front.
"Just sign it, to remember this day, its like a contract between me and you, that I help you to get clues to your vengeance" Mr Patrick said and hand Avery a pen.
She collect it while she watch the file in her front.
"Hurry miss Avery, is almost time for you and Kim Bum meeting" he smiled waiting for her to sign the file already.
"Should i sign this?, am i ready?" She asked her self as she grip tightly on the pen looking at the file keenly.
