Bloody hell. This was all going south quickly, isn’t it?
Angelina Durless never imagined herself to be in this situation. The good doctor swore on her life to protect the weak! Instead? She’s been cutting the lives of five women, thus far, short. She told herself this couldn’t continue. There’s absolutely no possibility that the body count can continue climbing steadily without being caught. Well, that was until who she thought to be a guardian angel came to her aid. A shinigami by the name of Grell was her saving grace! By becoming her butler, Grell was able to create air-tight alibis for the Madame. Not only that, but assist in the murders and do away with the corpses!
The crimson-haired woman didn’t have to fear a single thing. Well, until she didn’t have the courage to kill her own kin.
That’s when the ‘death god’ abandoned her side. She barely escaped with her own life. It took sprinting down the dark alleyways of the London slums to survive. She didn’t get away without getting injured. A gloved hand pressed against the stab wound her stomach received, panting heavily with an open mouth. Angelina slumped against a cold brick wall for support. It most likely won’t be long until she’s caught up with a finished off. Jack the Ripper is out of options.
How ironic: the infamous serial killer now turned into the prey. Is this karma?
Painted-red lips clenched tightly together. The pain is immense. The wound isn’t fatal, but it doesn’t mean it’s not a burden to deal with. The injury can be addressed later. What Angelina truly needs is to disappear into the night, and pretend this night never happened. Her facade of being a proper lady is going down the drain as she stood bleeding.
It isn’t fair.
A shaky inhale occurred when hearing approaching footsteps. Is this the reaper finally here to deliver eternal sleep? The woman of red isn’t ready to go in the slightest. Angelina swallowed heavily, slowly calling out to who she assumes to be her undoing. What’s the point of running any longer?
❝Please...It doesn’t have to be this way...❞
