Chapter 156


    Katarina this time clenched her fist.


    "So tell me Katarina, why? Why did you do it? Is it all because of Rawlf, his power, his influence?"


    Veronica asked, making sure her voice doesn''t sound as desperate. "Isn''t this too early, Lady


    Cleopatra? Where''s the fun in that?"


    "It isn''t. I don''t know… maybe I wouldn''t be able to hold myself back and kill you before you could

    even tell me the matter of years ago. Who knows."


    Veronica replied in an amused tone.


    "That''s it. That''s the proud tone. That''s what you are! It''s easy for me to talk to you when you''re


    like this!," Katarina also replied in an equally amused tone.


    Knowing that whoever showed her real furious emotion is the one that loses this round.


    "You mean the woman who you harmed years ago but end up to be the same woman you couldn''t


    even touch yearster."


    Katarina clenched her fist once again. She realized that no matter how calm she is, this whole


    reality is still the biggest p in her life, ever.


    "Do you know that there are two men watching us at the moment?" Veronica continued and seeing


    the changed in Katarina''s expression, she chuckled,


    "One, is the man you have always wanted but the same man who will never be yours and the


    second man, should I call him, the man who''s been with you throughout those ns and yet, the same


    man you really didn''t value much."


    Katarina restrained a frown hearing Veronica''s mockingughter. "You! Here I go!"


    Katarina started before she quickly attacked Veronica with her fist however, Veronica was quick to


    dodge sideways, Katarina frowned and distanced herself from Veronica.


    "When I asked you earlier about treating this whole thing as that of a novel, you didn''t agree but


    now..., You think I was after Rawlf? You really think that this novel will have me as the third party viin


    who is desperately after your man?!"


    Katarina once again threw another punch but Veronica jumped smoothly to quickly avoid it.


    Katarina frowned and pirouetted to change her direction. She intends tond a kick against


    Veronica''s left leg, yet, Veronica once again smoothly jumps to another side!


    It''s like she''s flying with her smooth and gracious movements!


    "Why?, aren''t you? My man is powerful, in fact, very powerful. Who wouldn''t want him for


    themselves? So powerful that you and your family were quickly arrested. Easily"


    Veronica stated in a proud tone, triggering Katarina''s pride in herself and anger!


    She was so angry that her pride was hurt and more because what the woman had said was the


    truth.


    Realizing that she couldn''tnd neither a punch nor a kick against the woman, Katarina changed


    her tactic and stood calmly,


    "You are so wrong then. The second man you just mentioned a while ago, although I really do not


    value him much but I keep my own principle, Lady Cleopatra. I may not have liked him much but


    witnessing how he helped me all those years, I took him as mine. But you know what my real n is?"


    Katarina made a long paused,


    "Have Rawlf for myself and after he trusts me, I will definitely get rid of him." Veronica this time


    didn''t hide her fury.


    Seeing this, Katarina continued,


    "Everything is going good you know, before you even enter the scene. You know what happened


    to Rawlf''s previous women ? I got them all killed."


    Veronica''s face changed.


    "You''re shocked right? And now you realized why there were no other women popping your way to


    those women, he couldn''t care less and I took that as an opportunity to remove possible threat to my


    stake…. Except the crazy Tandy because she''s a useless pawn."


    "No wonder I was confused because why would you pay me attention and harm me and my


    family that year. It turns out that Miss Katarina is actually a very careful woman." Veronica replied


    calmly.


    "Prevention is better than cure,dy,"


    Katarina sharply gazed at Veronica.


    "I was the best next to none choice for Rawlf, you know. I was supposed to be a match for him.


    Because if not me, no one else suits him better. You''re actually also just another ''woman'' of Rawlf. No


    hard feelings, honestly. Just the usual work. But I guess, it''s my misfortune that I wasx with handling


    you."


    Veronica heaves a sigh, everything is clear with her now and she''s extremely furious.


    "If you haven''t returned back here, everything will still go as nned. Rawlf who knows nothing


    about you will end up being mine…..oh I mean his power and his influence, they could have been mine!


    Everything could have been easy without you. I can have Rawlf without forcing myself to him because


    eventually, he will pick me. After maybe having his trust, poisoning him slowly should have been easy


    work right? And after his death, naturally, everything he owns will be mine. The n should be simple


    and effortless And yet, you came back and boom!, the


    n failed before it even started." "Unfortunately for you."


    Veronica coldly replied and the buzzing audience went silent as the masked Lady Cleopatra who


    was just defending earlier started to relentlessly and lethally attack!


    Katarina is also good at defending and protecting herself from Veronica''s every punch and kick


    however, she couldn''t protect herself every time because Veronica''s speed is just too fast for her to


    move and defend!


    "Srgh!"


    Katarina slumped down on one knee after Veronica was able tond a powerful kick on her lower


    abdomen, traces of blood could be seen from her mouth!


    Seeing the blood in her hand that she used to wipe her mouth earlier, Katarina stood up fiercely to


    fight back. But the view before her made her stop from her track.


    "Pyotr!", she screamed.


    Seeing his situation, Katarina wildly gaze at the man beside him,


    ''Rawlf!'', her thoughts screamed.


    With another wave of angst, Katarina turned to Veronica, "I should have personally killed you


    then!"


    And she attacks Veronica. However, she stopped midway and her eyes protruded in shock, even


    the crowd gasped in surprise because Veronicanded a powerful blow on Katarina''s arm!


    "Crack!" Those who were near the stage could hear the crack that came from Katarina''s left arm.


    Veronica then quickly moved in front facing Rawlf and Pyotr''s direction. She flipped Katarina''s


    body on the other side and another "Crack!"


    Veronica broke Katarina''s other arm from her shoulder watching Pyotr''s bloodshot and angry


    eyes.


    The whole time, Katarina didn''t scream her pain. This made Veronica admire her. Although


    unsatisfied, Veronica couldn''t do anything more of it.


    She couldn''t force Katarina to regret what she did to her years ago but that doesn''t mean she


    won''t take pleasure in finally getting rid of her.


    Slowly, Veronica walked near the edge of the round stage, pulling Katarina by her broken arms,


    and watched Rawlf in the eyes.


    Katarina was about to kick her and fight back despite her pain from her broken arms yet Veronica


    was quick tond a punch on her knee, damaging the woman''s joint!


    Katarina finally screamed from the pain, however, Veronica is now consumed with fury and the


    assassin aura is currently surrounding her!


    Rawlf saw it, his eyes darkened but he stopped himself from intervening.


    Pyotr beside him kept growling and if his mouth weren''t covered, he could have been cursing the


    hell out of him and of Veronica.


    Rawlf who enjoyed being cursed by his enemy however treated it differently when it concerns


    Veronica. He knew this would being and he wouldn''t want to lose his calm and shoot Pyotr in the


    head directly if he ever started cursing Veronica.


    "What you took part years ago by harming my woman, now you''re receiving it back. Enjoy the


    show."


    Rawlf spoke.


    Pyotr on the other hand kept letting out angry throaty noises. Veronica then kneels beside


    Katarina''s head.


    And as she break the helpless yetmendable brave Katarina''s neck with her own bare hand,


    her eyesnded to Rawlf''s dark one.


    The message in her eyes reads, "Would you still love me seeing me at my darkest?"


    Another "Crack" and Katarina''s body soon went limp, her neck a 90 degree angle away from her


    body.


    The crowd started to cheer in joy seeing another life being horribly taken before their eyes!


    Rawlf on the other hand stood up, his eyes remained on Veronica as he picked up a gun on the


    table beside him, raised it against Pyotr''s left head and,


    "Bang!", he fired a shot and the angry throaty noise from the man stopped. He did it all the while


    his eyes fixed through Veronica''s.


    He threw the gun aside and soon started pping his hand. No words yet his eyes read,


    "You are the most beautiful, my love. Your darkest is my inspiration to be stronger. I love all and


    every part of you. You are my love, my life, my queen."
