Chapter 5 Who is Dark Angel

A month have passed, Cynthia had launched her new romance novel and the publisher's rejoiced when the book was sold out in just a week from its official release date.

" You're really amazing Cynthia or shall I say Miss Celestial Nymph!" The editor of her publishing company praised her. " We are preparing another set of books from what you have made."

" It's no big deal. It's my passion to write hopeless romantic novel. Even though, I didn't have any experience of my own about loving a man." Cynthia said sarcastically.

" I'll send the payment of your book after this month. That reminds me.... This month is your birthday, isn't it?" Carl, her editor, said.

" Yes but I'm not celebrating it. It's just a waste of time." Cynthia said while looking at Carl emotionless.

" Too bad! Anyway, what's the date of your birthday again?" Carl was disappointed.

" November 24th. I have to go, Carl. See you again sometime. " Cynthia waved her hand and walked out of the editorial office.

" See you!" Carl said when she turned her back on him.

Cynthia's wound was healed and she's back to normal. She reported through email on their organization that she was on a good condition to execute the next attempt of assassinating Congressman Bernard. While she was walking towards the elevator, she received a message from white knight saying:" Attend Business Grand ball, 9 pm at Starlight Hotel. Devil is there!"

Cynthia made a scowling face when she read the message. She clenched her fists with anger. She went inside the elevator and pressed the ground floor where her car was parked. Upon reaching the ground floor, she got out of the elevator and took her car key on her bag.

She unlocked her car door using her car key and got inside the car.

She drove the car back to their house. Edith saw Cynthia parking her car infront of the house when she arrived after ten minutes. Cynthia went out of her car and slammed the car door. She headed towards their house. Edith opened the door for her and greeted her with a smile.

" Sweetheart, how's your day?" Edith, her mother, asked sweetly.

Cynthia gave her mother a swift kiss on her cheek." It's fine, Mom! By the way...Is there a package for me, Mom?" She asked.

" Yes, there is! I put it on your room, sweetheart. Another assignment?" Edith made a intriguing look on her.

Cynthia smiled. " Yes, Mom! I'm just going to take a shower and then I'll go out for my next mission."

" Please be careful!" Edith began to get worried about her.

" Don't worry, Mom! I will!" Cynthia embraced her mother lovingly to comfort her.

" Call your brothers if you need a helping hand." Edith reminded her as she brushed Cynthia's long straight hair with her hand.

" I will do that, Mom!" Cynthia replied and went into her room.

When she had opened the door of her room, she saw a box on top of her bed. She gently closed the door and walked towards her bed. She opened the box and saw a long, black, elegant evening gown made of silk with a black 5 inch high heels sandals too. She smiled mysteriously when an idea popped in her mind.

Night came, Cynthia prepared herself for the grand ball. She worn the black evening gown sent to her by the organization. She put a black masked on her bag for her disguise when she will get herself in the fight. She was so beautiful and sexy on her appearance. She took her bag and went out of her room.

Apparently, Mikaela and Serena were in the living room playing when she walked in. Both the little girls were stunned to see her in a lovely gown.

" Wow! You're so pretty, Sis!" Serena said with astonishment.

" Are you on a date, Sis?" Mikaela giggled while staring at Cynthia.

Cynthia smiled at the two little girls. " Thank you for the compliment. I'm just going to attend a party. I'm not going for a date."

" That's lame!" Mikaela pouted her lips.

Cynthia laughed a bit and patted Mikaela's head gently. " I'm going now. I'll be back later."

Mikaela and Serena nodded and Cynthia opened the main door of the house and walked out towards her car. She got inside her car gracefully and started driving the car towards the Starlight Hotel.

In the Starlight Hotel, everyone were present in the grand ball. Oscar attended also since he was the head of CIA. He was informed that there was a threat into one of his business associates and he wants to find out who it was. He looked like a prince charming waiting for her princess. He arrived at the place without any partner.

The girls giggled when they saw him walking in. Oscar made a seductive smile, alluring the attention of every girl in the said event.

" It's nice of you to come, Mister Valdemor. " Congressman Bernard approached him and shook hands with him.

" It seems you are already recovering from your injury, Congressman. " Oscar mocked at him.

" Well, I'm the devil after all. Devils don't die easily." Congressman Bernard made a sarcastic laugh.

" You're right indeed! Do you happen to know whose behind your assassination?" Oscar whispered into Congressman's ear.

" If I know, I wouldn't have asked for your help." Congressman Bernard said gnashing his teeth.

Oscar patted his shoulder and smirked. " I'll see what I can do for you, Congressman. "

" Thank you! Please enjoy!" Congressman Bernard calmed himself and walked away from Oscar.

When the Congressman left him, some beautiful ladies came to him and flirted with him.

One of the ladies where Isabelle, the daughter of the CEO of Shangri Company. " Hi there, handsome! Can I join you?"

She was so lovely but everyone knew that she had a plastic surgery on her face. That was a vulgar thing to do. Oscar hated women who undergo plastic surgery. It was disgusting for him.

"Sure, sweetheart!" Oscar played along.

Isabelle came closer to him and she was leaning on his side. Feeling disgusted, Oscar moved away from her a little but Isabelle clung on to him even more.

" Excuse me, ladies. I just need to go to the men's room." Oscar said to the ladies around him. He felt really annoyed by Isabelle, clinging to him.

When he was walking towards the men's room, he noticed a woman in a silky smooth black evening gown. Her hair was straight, shiny and it seemed to be so soft to touch. Oscar can't refrain himself from staring at the woman. She was alone in a corner, drinking her wine with elegance.

Who is she? Why is she all alone on that side? Oscar thought. He went near her instead.

" Hello, my lady! Can I join you here?" Oscar said with a gorgeous smile.

The woman turned to face him and Oscar felt his heart skipped a bit. He saw that her face was like an angel. So pure and innocent looking.

" Wow! You're so beautiful!" Oscar murmured when he saw the woman's face.

Cynthia was surprised to see Oscar talking to her and meeting him again.

Is this fate? Why are we always bumping into each other? Why do I have an urge to cling on to him? Am I just attracted or infatuated to him? Cynthia thought as she stared at the man beside her.

" Thank you for the compliment, dear Sir!" Cynthia spoke softly.

When Oscar heard her voice it was like he has heard a voice of an angel resonating into his ears. He was captivated by her tender soft voice. He was about to talk again when they heard a blast that came from the center stage where the Congressman was standing. The Congressman was driven out by that tremendous blast of a bomb.

Oscar grabbed Cynthia's hand to keep her safe. Cynthia was startled when Oscar caught her hand and pulled her into his arms. She felt the warmth of his breath as he breathe in and out. His touch was reassuring.

" Stay here! Don't go anywhere!" Oscar instructed her before he left her on a safe place.

Meanwhile, white knight was spotted by one of the Congressman's men and shot him several times on his direction. Oscar took his gun from his feet and used it in shooting the other warrior knights. Cynthia went to the ladies room and changed her outfit. She threw her gown on the window when she was prepared to go on the battlefield. She was wearing a black mask to hide her face.

White knight was running out of bullets and the other knights were giving him signal to get out of the place. Cynthia shot all the Congressman's men, leaving them all wounded or lifeless.

" Dark Angel! Let's go!" White knight shouted when he saw Cynthia fighting back to save her comrades. Cynthia gazed at white knight and nodded. They managed to escape freely. Cynthia and the warrior knights got away without any hardship.

Oscar got mad and he kicked the table next to him forcefully. " Who were they?" Oscar asked one of the Congressman's men who managed to stay alive.

" The one with a black masked was Dark Angel, Sir. She was hunting the Congressman from a month ago. " One of the Congressman's men said.

Who is Dark Angel? What's her reason in assassinating the Congressman? Is she a rebel or just a decoy? Whoever she is? I must get her! Oscar thought silently gazing at the open balcony where Cynthia jumped off to escape from her enemies.
