It's been a long time coming and I apologize for those who have waited. I finally decided to take that time for me and continue this idea that I had almost 6 years ago. The prologue and chapter 1 mostly stayed the same, with some small edits. Chapter 2 is not that far away... New title is inspired by a song from Grimes, Delicate Weapon, check it out!

Prologue

A windy summer night in the heart of Verona, Italy.

Sipping on her glass of white wine, she watched as the sun went down. Sounds of laughter, heels clicking and romantic Italian music filled the room. She crossed her legs, a hand ran through her vibrant red hair, between her pointer and middle finger, a slim cigarette, ready to be lit. Placing the cigarette between her soft rosé colored lips, she lit it, taking a deep drag. Her first one for today, she was getting better in her quitting process.

"Miss Richards, beautiful as always." She looked up, her big blue eyes staring at the older man in front of her.

"Charming as always, Dr. Gionne." She stood up, kissing both of his cheeks, her heels making her slightly taller than him.

"And please, call me Charlize." The older man laughed, sat down on the chair next to her.

"Then you should start calling me Giovanni, my dearest." The woman smiled gently, sat down next to the man.

"What a beautiful evening...", she commented, "Alejo really found an excellent spot for tonight's event." The older man nodded his head. "This is his favorite place here in Verona. He wanted to make sure that everything is perfect, bella mia." She giggled, lightly slapped the back of the older man's hand. "Giovanni, you're making me blush!"

Giovanni grabbed her hand, squeezing it lightly. "That was the plan. You look best when you blush. No wonder he fell for a pretty thing like you!"

She shook her head light, her eyes slightly closed, her lips upwards, taking another drag of her cigarette.

Looking around, she observes the other guests. All dressed to impress, with long, elegant gowns, black smoking, expensive high-heels or italian leather shoes. Drinking, having a laugh or a talk about business. Business, she would like listening to...

"I'm so happy for Alejo that the deal is settled." Her eyes detect the handsome looking man at the other side of the room. Dressed in a dark blue smoking (that she picked out, because she loves him in blue) and brown, italian leather shoes, talking with some of his associates. As usual at events like these, a glass of Whisky in his hand. His black hair is messy as always and some black stubbles decorate his face. His skin tanned, even though he spent most of his time in his dimly lit office. Alejandro Gionne in all of his glory. Her boyfriend.

She had to admit, his looks were to die for. Little did she know, she was to die for, too.

Her long, red (sometimes even with some strands of purple) hair caught the eyes of many, many men. The big, blue eyes, inherited from her deceased mother, captured many hearts. Dressed in a tight, nude-colored dress, her fit body was showing off. Her skin tone was rather pale, however it suited her, made her skin look like porcelain. Her legs looked endless in those black high heels of hers. In Alejandro's eyes, she was a goddess of beauty. His Venus.

"The cooperation between TriCell and WilPherma will do wonders." Giovanni added. "With Alejandro's genius work and WilPharma's equipment and research, the two companies will achieve great things. The world has no idea what is yet to come."

'Oh, they really don't.', her thoughts added quietly. 'These two only mean more trouble.'

"What will they start working on?" She asked curiously, looking at the father of her boyfriend with her big, blue eyes. Her lips, a small pout. Giovanni laughed, holding on her shoulder.

"Bella.. You know better not to ask about Alejo's work. It's too complicated for your beautiful brain! Just let him do his wonders and watch how this world will be a better place thanks to his research!" She nodded. "You're right. His work is way too much for me to understand. I know he will do magnificent things!" She smiled brightly and closed her eyes. 'Stay stupid, girl', she reminded herself.

She took a small gulp of her wine, tucks a loose strand of her hair behind her ear. Suddenly, she felt a warm hand behind her neck.

"There you are, mi amor. I was looking for you." She stood up, turning to the man behind her, her smile bright.

"Oh, Alejo, you know I don't want to disturb you while you talk with your associates.", she answered, feeling his arms around her waist, pulling her close. He kissed her rosy cheek, making her giggle cutely. He loved it when she did that sound.

"Always so considered, my dear Charlize." He kissed her cheek again, holding her tighter and moving his lips closer to her ear.

"You look so breathtaking tonight. So beautiful." His voice is dark and seductive. She closed her eyes, her lips slightly parted.

"You don't look bad for yourself, too, Alejo." She replied sweetly, kissing his lips lightly. He pulled her closer, intensifying the kiss.

"Let's dance, Charli." Taking her hand, he pulled her to the dance floor. His hands on her slim waist and her hand, he guided her, twirling her around, making her giggle and hold onto him. Her red hair blowing as she spun around. The people surrounding them, took a few steps back, admiring the couple as they gracefully danced.

All of a sudden, the lights turned off, except one that shone on the couple. Charlize looked around, confused but still holding on to Alejandro's lead. He continued, smiled warmly at his girlfriend. Her confused look made his grin wider. The song changed. Charlize recognized it directly. Lana Del Rey's 'Young and Beautiful' started to play. Her eyes widened and she looked surprised at him.

"Darling, our song!", she whispered into his ear. He nodded, pulled her closer to his body and danced with her.

"Only the best for mi amor.", he answered, gently stroking her face. She looked so beautiful, so happy. Here she was, with him, celebrating his success, dancing with him to their song, making this evening perfect.

The song ended. He stopped the dance, looking deep in her big, blue eyes. Those eyes that captured him, since the first time he gazed at them. Those eyes, who made his life change forever. Those eyes, who made him fall in love.

"Charli.", he said, not taking his eyes off her. Her eyes locked with his. Confusion visible on her face. She looked around and saw the guests around them, observing them... waiting.

'Is it time?', she questioned herself.

"Listen, mi amor.", his hands holding hers tight. "It's been almost 10 months since I met you, since I gazed into those magnificent, blue eyes of yours. That rainy night in London has changed my life forever and I want to thank you for that." He let out a small gulp. "Perdonami, caro, I want this to be perfect." Her mouth opened slightly, ready to say something but he interrupted her. "You changed my life for the better. Since I met you, things have gone up. I found happiness in your embrace, Charli. I know, I can trust you. I know you were meant to be mine.. so please let me ask you."

One of his knees touched the floor, a hand inside his suit pocket, not taking his eyes off his love. Charlize was speechless, her hand clasped on her mouth, tears streaming down her face. "Alejo.."

A small, satin package on his hand, opening and lifting it up for her. Inside that package, a ring. A ring only meant for her.

"Charlize Richards, do you want to marry me?"

"YES!", she exclaimed. Her hands trying to wipe the tears streaming down her face. Alejandro leaped up, lifting his fiancé up, spinning her around. Her giggles filled the room, people around them started clapping. Her arms around his neck, pulling him closer to her waiting lips. Finally his lips met hers in a loving kiss, as if it was a fairytale.

'Everything according to plan.' Her thoughts concluded. 'The fall of TriCell is almost near...'

Charlize Richards, also known as... Claire Redfield inwardly smirked. She did it! She finally gained the trust of the enemy! Soon, there will be no way of stopping her, for she will ruin everything that TriCell and even WilPharma have worked for.

'And no one of these fools will ever know that it was me, who was all behind it!', she thought darkly.

Are you sure about that, dearest Claire?

And that is the refined version of the prologue!

See you in the next chapter, where we will find out how Claire became Charlize…
