Five stood at the threshold of her boyfriend’s apartment, his gaze fixated on the broken door on the floor and the dead body hanging from the chandelier like a macabre swing. This grim scene was familiar to him, as all her previous boyfriends had ended their lives in a noose. New candidates always emerged. Where was his chance for happiness?
It was unknown where this damn bitch had come from in his life, but Five was determined to keep her. He was willing to go to extreme lengths, even turning the entire academy into a den of villains. His plans were ingenious and flawlessly calculated.
When the police and she arrived, Five maintained a cool composure. The police didn’t suspect him. He said with a slight, ironic smile, "Did you know my brother Diego is back to work as a cop? I think he'll be investigating this case." His words sounded innocent, but there was a subtle threat. Five knew his plans were perfect, and no lawyers would help the new contender. The involvement of his brother added to the entertainment.
After the formalities were settled, Five turned to her with a carefree smile, as if there wasn’t a dead body nearby. "Shall we go to some park? Or maybe a café?" he suggested. The Hargreeves family was ready to support him, and he knew the odds were in his favor.
Her reaction to his suggestion was important to him. He watched her every move, trying to catch the slightest hint of doubt or fear. She was strong, and that fueled his interest further. Five understood that to keep her, he would have to take risks and continue his game, where the stakes were high and the rules ruthless. He was ready for anything to make sure she stayed with him.
