[Flashback]
Cecilia spread out her arms as she felt the snow coming down at her, she then looked over at Kai, whom is just placing a scarf on the snowman they just made... more like, she just made, he just watched.
Smiling, she walked over to Kai and wrapped her arms around his waist from behind him and leaned onto his back, smiling. Kai smiled a bit and touched her hands, his eyes widened as he took a hold of them and turned around to face, breaking her embrace.
"Why are your hands so cold?" He asked, she rubbed her hands together and smiled at him.
"Probably because of making that snowman." She answered.
Kai looked at her and slowly cupped her hands into his larger and warmer ones, she smiled at the warmth. He looked at her and placed her hands inside his jacket right above his heart. Cecilia blinked when she felt something hard in his upper pocket.
"What's this?" She asked curiously, Kai just shrugged but his eyes never left her.
She titled her head and then reached into his jacket to pull out a white box, she looked at it strangely and then glanced up at Kai. His expression still hasn't changed.
Cecilia turned the box in her hands and opened it up, there stood a diamond engagement ring. The band is made of white gold with carvings of flowers on them, and there are three small diamonds on each side before leading up to a bigger diamond. She looked up at him touched.
He took the ring out of the box and dropped the box onto the ground, slowly, he leaned into her. Her eyes closed automatically and his lips landed on hers. His hand held her left hand, and gingerly, he place the ring on her ring finger, then let go of her hand. She leaned into him and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him in closer and his arms found their way around her waist.
Lights danced off the surface of her ring as the two of them kissed under the falling snow.
[End of Flashback]
With a moan, Cecilia opened her eyes and was greeted by bright lights above her head, she frowned and put a hand up to shield her eyes, her engagement ring shone under the lights. She glanced around the room, it's pretty dark. Then suddenly, she heard foot steps, her whole body tensed up.
"Well, it seems that the sleeping beauty has awake."
Cecilia took in a deep breath and sat up, she had been lying on a operation table. "Who are you?"
There was a moment of silence, before she heard foot steps again, this time closer to her. Soon, a pair of shoes appeared, Cecilia looked up and widened her eyes.
"Mr. Hiwatari!" She exclaimed, it's Kai's grandfather, Voltare. "Where am I?"
"You're in my mansion of course!"
Cecilia looked at him suspiciously. "Mr. Hiwatari, why am I here? I am sure I didn't inform anyone that I'm coming to Japan. And also, don't you think your 'invitation' was overly 'pleasant'?"
Voltare threw back his head and laughed, "that's the Cecilia Joseph I know, smart!"
Cecilia smiled softly at him and jumped off the operation table, "if you have nothing else to say, then please excuse me."
"Wait." Cecilia paused and looked at him. "Let's get to the point, I have a deal to make with you."
Cecilia raised one of her eyebrows, "please, enlighten me."
"Soon, you'll be my grand-daughter, so... I think I should tell you something." Voltare smirked and turned to her. "You'll never become a Hiwatari, the wedding is off."
Cecilia looked at him confused, she opened up her mouth to say something, but Voltare raised up a hand and stopped her.
"Of course, it's not your background status. After all, at the social department, you're perfect with our family! We'll be richest family if we combined."
"Then... what's the problem?"
"Now, Cecilia dear, you know how many times Kai have disobeyed me? I just want to let him know the consequences of disobeying me."
"Consequences?" Cecilia asked, just what is he up to?"
Voltare raised up a hand, and a suited man stepped out of the shadow and handed a needle to him, there's a yellow fluid inside the needle.
"This.... is a poison that I have just created, therefore, it does not have a name yet." Cecilia looked at it, possibilities running through her mind. "And I need your help."
She smiled and tilted her head, "what? You want me to help you to promote this?"
Voltare laughed and shook his head.
"Cecilia dear, let me explain something to you. This poison will mingle with one's blood when it's injected. Slowly, the blood will slow down and rotten. Then the person grows weaker and weaker, this will happen for a month before the person dies. However, this poison hasn't been tested yet, so I do not know if it will work or not. And, that's where you come in."
"Oh?"
"I can give you three choices, they're my selected test tubes," he paused and looked at her coldly. "You, Kai or the world."
Cecilia's eyes widened, this is his plan, he just wants to kill someone. After a minute, Cecilia smiled and looked at him. "Why me? I have done nothing to you."
"True... but you see... Kai will suffer greatly if you die, now, wouldn't he?"
Cecilia's blood turned cold as she looked at him unbelievably, this man is definitely not human.
"Why? He's your own grandson." She asked quietly.
"That, my dear, is the consequence of disobeying me. Now, it's your turn to talk, you, Kai, or the world?"
They starred at each other in silence, finally, Cecilia sighed and dropped her gaze. She looked down at her engagement ring on her hand.
Voltare's mouth opened as laughter came out, "now, I knew you'd be a good girl. Trust me, it won't hurt a bit."
She closed her eyes as he walked closer, she turned her head away when she felt him removing her jacket, then something cold touched her neck. A tear slipped down her cheek and dropped onto the black marble floor.
[Europe]
Hiura sat up in the darkness suddenly, her eyes wide, her hands felt her neck. Beside her, Kazuya turned on the lights and sat up besides her.
"Hiura, something wrong?" He askes softly and brought up a hand to brush away the hair on her face.
"Lia..." Hiura whispered as her breathings returend to normal, Kazuya peered at her face closely.
"What's wrong with Cecilia?"
Hiura let go of her neck and slowly, she turned her icy blue eyes to meet her husband's calm, deep blue eyes. She looked at him, and opened her mouth, 3 words came out.
"She is dying......"
