Verde's POV
'She was robbed by the world, even so, she has the brightest smile…'
That's how I describe her in our first meeting. She is blind and has vegetative legs. Earning a support from her wheelchair, she tried to come to me by her senses.
"Mr. Verde? Are you in there?" Her sweet voice echoes in the hall, not minding the noise that the Mafioso makes.
"Yes, I am here Ms. Violeta Salva" After I confirmed my presence, she extends her hand in a motion of a handshake.
"Then nice to meet you, Dr. Verde" I reach out my hands and greet her as well.
I don't really care, this game of Timoteo Di Vongola will lead us into. All I think of this… is CRAP. Without further contact, I hurriedly left my partner not knowing how I will assist her.
As I walk further, I hear her voice in a plea.
"DR. VERDE!" Verde, she's not worthy of your time.
"DR. VERDE!" I won't face her again and it's not my business anymore.
"DR. VERDE!" Oh! Dammit, I face towards her, she fell on the floor with tears in her eyes. I never expect to unfold a drama on our first meeting.
"OK! What do you want?" I snap back at her
"Please… help me to become normal again…" she cried in agony.
Here I am, kneeling down, not knowing what to do… She's a damsel in distress
"I know, you're the only one who could do it… please…" I carried her back from her wheelchair and move away from the eyes of the other mafiosos'.
"Ms. Salva-"
"Violeta is fine"
"Then Violeta, what can I do for you?" I tried not to reveal the annoyance in my tone.
"Please let me see the beauty of this world once again… I want to be… with my… love one… Matteo" That's it? Love one? I don't have time for that! I'll be engaged to a new project soon!
"My apologies but I'll be busy with the new project soon. If that's all good day" I left her in distress.
Violeta's POV
'He has almost everything, yet coldness resides in his heart'
That is how I describe him, our meeting a while ago made me realize that no matter what I do, I'll never convince him…
'He'll be engaging in a project soon?' somehow it made me really feel that it will change something in the future…
"Violeta! Did you succeed in persuading him?" My Godfather asks I frowned as an answer.
"That Verde!" he curses the scientist under his breath
"How could he ignore Skull sama's niece!" with that he marches off
"Skull-oji-san, please! Let me be the one!" He looks back at me with a sigh.
"Alright, just tell me if that old bastard ignored you again" he pats me on my head with his kind smile.
And with that, I made a resolve that I'll do everything that I can to make Dr. Verde say yes!
However…
It's been 3 days that I've been persuading him and looks like my words are not getting into him. Until sudden news delivered unto us…
"To Dr. Verde and Ms. Violeta Salva, you've been disqualified from the event" After Ms. Aria delivered the message; I see him smirk and left me dumbfounded.
"Ummm Ms. Giglio Nero can you give us a second chance? Please? I am begging you" This is not a matter of pride anymore.
"I can, and I understand that you are partnered with that mad scientist. I'll give you two a chance until tomorrow to fix your relationship" Her kind smile gave me another hope to cling on.
After I talked with Ms. Giglio Nero, I formulated my own plan that can manipulate Dr. Verde. Tell me that I am desperate but I don't care if this plan can make me together with my love once again. I began to control the remote of my wheelchair and made my way to my assistant.
"Rosette?" I called my assistant
"Yes, My lady?" after she responded to my question, she put a freshly baked muffin with a lavender-honey tea.
"I may sound rude but we don't have time to waste. I want to force things of what I have planned. I'll buy the proceedings of the new project that Dr. Verde will be in. Contact my Skull-oji-san to know the other details." I made my way to the phone with her dialing.
De javu? So… this is what I predicted 3 days ago. If this is the case, I need to be prepared in all things and I need to be firm not to be swayed by his nerving way of words.
Just wait, Dr. Verde! You'll taste another sensation of defeat. After all, you just shrugged my loss of pride just to kneel for your credibility. And now you'll see a bold and fierce Violeta Salva.
My assistant handed me the phone "Hello? Skull-oji-san?"
"Oh! My adorable Violeta? What do you need?" I smirk at his anticipation.
"Do you know the company that will collaborate with Dr. Verde?" I motion my hand to my assistant to bring a pen and a paper.
"Oh? Did that old bastard made things hard again?" I almost lost my hearing due to his extreme range.
"Oh no, I made him agreed with me. I am just curious at all" I tried to play my game sneakily as it is.
"If that's the case then… Eh? Wait! It's your father's company Violeta!" I am dumbfounded by what I have learned.
Ah! I know now why Dr. Verde just shrugged me over it because he does not know that the owner of the company is my step-father. Hmmm… This is getting better than I anticipated.
"Rosette? Call my father" Even though he is my step-father he loves me as his own without prejudice.
"Hello, Father?" As I greet him, I hear several clutching of papers.
"Yes, my dear?"
"I heard that you will have collaboration with Dr. Verde regarding on a certain project?"
"Ah yes my dear, it's about all cure injections however I haven't yet cleared what it was" Hmmm… let's manipulate it.
"Father? Can you give this opportunity to handle the project to me?" A silence was heard.
"Why, my dear?"
"I want to be productive as I can be, after all, I want to learn many things for I will be suited to be the next you." A little lie won't hurt, right?
"But, can you do it? It's not just as easy as any projects were given-" I hurriedly interrupt
"I know, but I'll do my best and never be swayed by my emotions" and then again another lie.
"Ok, I'll give you 2 weeks to prove to me that you are worth it to handle the project" I nearly squeal in his affirmation.
"Yes, father. Thank you for giving me this opportunity" The phone was brought back and I hurriedly made another plan.
Even if I am blind and crippled, I still have the mind of a businesswoman and a Pharmaceutical Scientist.
Until the accident a year ago…
*Thud* *Slash* *Crack* It was never been easy to study on a Mafia University even if you stayed out of their business. However, they started to notice me when they have seen me dating the son of sir Nougat (right-hand man of Timoteo). Matteo and I started dating out of my Uncle's recommendation to strengthen (more) the ties of the Arcobaleno and the Vongola. As time pass by we have forgotten that deal and loved each other completely…
Unconditionally…
Until the only daughter of the Bovino family ranged so hard that made me crippled and blind. Up to this day, I wished I fought back and trashed my so-called kindness. After the accident, Matteo slowly drifts himself away from me. That's the time when I began to think that he… I don't want to think about it because until now, I still believe if I fixed myself again, he'll be back and love me again.
Father gave the folder of the project to me and we depart. I gave it to Rosette for her to read and to my surprise, the vaccine is almost a mythological potion. 'A vaccine can heal all diseases' if so, even impairments, disabilities, and naturally born diseases. 'This vaccine may prolong our lives' wait… I have seen something like this before…
"Rosette get the folder that I compiled a year ago when I arrived from Iceland"
And with that, I studied the whole folder with her and I formulated my hypothesis and gathered all the data needed for I can manipulate the talk tomorrow.
The next day, all the board members together with Mr. Verde and I discussed the product. Even though the board is still not welcoming me as their head for I am just a useless madam in their eyes.
"As I was experimenting, a new vaccine was formulated, however, it is still in the process but I can make sure that this vaccine can destroy all diseases-"
"How promising is that Mr. Verde?" As I interrupt the board began to chatter.
"If I had all the necessities given by each company-"
"According to my study, your experiment may also help veins that are not functioning anymore" I gestured my hand in a business manner.
"Vaccines' are antigens it's active ingredients are sodium and potassium which are the acid regulators. Formaldehyde is a man-made chemical, Aluminium salts that help to improve the immune response to vaccines, or products that act as preservatives and stabilizers. However, this is just destroying the common viruses we found in the body. To make a mythological vaccine that you propose, I have thought that we need artificial factors to prove it. Like making nano-bots that will act as the antigens, it will make sure that no viruses or ill foreign substances will terminate any organ. However, we have another option." Their attention and concentration are in my words.
"Magical as it sounds, but this can guarantee a hundred percent of this project. Have you ever heard Panacea?" The board began to chatter loudly.
"How are you so sure that Panacea is true? We all know Panacea is also known as the elixir of life or in Alchemists' term Philosopher's stone" As he counterpart my question.
"That's correct, as I travel in Scandinavia when I was still not yet disabled. I also tried to find new medicine for my studies as a Pharmaceutical Scientist. As I arrive in Ice land due to a rumor. Yes, I did believe it and so as I venture I encountered the tree they were worshipping. However it is surrounded by toxic miasma, so I did not try to go further. Yet, luck maybe is on my side that time. A dried branch was nearby my feet and so I took it and ran away" I gently clasp my hands.
"So what did you found from the branch that you have got?" Looks like I got his attention
"It was from the family of Ericaceae or we also known as a family of berries. Surprising isn't? the Panacea we knew or the Philosopher's stone we knew is just an extracted liquid from the berry. However, the best is yet to come-" suddenly a loud bang was heard besides me, it was from the Halycon company who manages antibiotics.
"A legendary elixir is just a berry? Are you already insane? How could you prove it?" This is the part that I am looking for.
"Yes, the legendary elixir is just a berry although we don't know why did a berry become a legendary elixir. According to one of my interviewee about it, he said that he has known a famous alchemist who traveled to their place and uses medicinal alchemy to heal their diseases instantly. No magical light or weird incantations and circles were seen, just plain liquid that shines like a diamond. Having a hard time to believe?" I gestured my hand to command Rosette to show the powerpoint that we made.
"The main issue lies here, we all know Berries are anti-oxidants, fighting free radicals and tightening our tissues however as I examine the branch that I found. I discovered that this tree produces highly concentrated anti-oxidants and the most surprising one is it has components what humans have." I heard their small gasp with Dr. Verde laughing creepily.
"That's I want to hear! Amazing! You have gained my respect Violeta" I sense him walking to me.
"I'll prepare my troops and lab, meet me tomorrow, we will going to fly to Ice land"
And with that, I almost forgot my true intentions
