淑女的欲望

Scarlett exited the train station and quickly hailed a taxi, instructing the driver to take her to the private airport.

As Scarlett sat in the back of the taxi, her thoughts of Xander preoccupied her mind. She couldn't help but wonder if Xander was frantically looking for her right now!?

"X-Xander..." Scarlett softly whispered his name, feeling the tears welling in her eyes. But she quickly shook her head, determined to push thoughts of him aside. She couldn't afford to let her mind dwell on Xander, for the more she did, the more her heart ached.

Instead, Scarlett focused her attention on the mission ahead. She knew that the only way to distract herself from thoughts of Xander was to stay busy, to throw herself into her new task. Her goal was clear: to find the Withers, her mother's family, and uncover the truth about her mother's mysterious past.

She knew this was not an easy task and would be long and fraught with danger, but she was ready to face it head-on. With purpose and determination, prepared to do whatever it takes to find the truth.

As the taxi pulled into the airport, Scarlett felt excited. 

Scarlett paid the driver and left the car heading to the private Jet. She rushed toward the runway, her heart racing as she approached the familiar Jet. 

She could see the engines whirring as they prepared for takeoff, and she quickened her pace to avoid keeping them waiting any longer. As she climbed aboard, she caught Seven's questioning gaze but ignored it and sat across from him.

"Seven, we can take off now," Scarlett firmly ordered while using her seat belt.

Then, she peeked out the window, grateful to be able to leave the ground. Scarlett knows she must avoid meeting Xander at all costs; her anger is so intense that she fears what she might do to him or even that bitch, Zoey.

She could not tell Xander about her deadly nature as a skilled assassin. She needed to stay away from him. At least for now, until her emotions were under control.

Scarlett took a deep breath as the plane took to the sky, trying to calm her nerves. She couldn't lose control, not now, not ever. She has a mission to complete, and she must focus on that mission.

...

Seven was observing Scarlett closely and couldn't help but ask her, "Why did you suddenly decide to go to X?"

He was confused because he had not received any orders from Rex regarding the change in Scarlett's plans. Usually, Rex would have contacted him in a situation like this.

Scarlett shifted her gaze towards Seven, taking a moment to gather her thoughts. She wasn't in the mood to discuss her husband, who was having an affair.

Despite her desire to say, "I went there to kill all the Withers because they pissed me off," she refrained from saying it.

She knew she needed a convincing reason to satisfy Seven's curiosity.

"After careful consideration, I have decided to personally investigate the situation. There has been a change of plans," Scarlett said in a confident and unwavering tone.

Seven's expression changed from amused to dire.

"Don't hide anything from me, Three! From your expression, I can see something is bothering you right now." Seven said. He could see the killing intent in Scarlett's gaze when she entered the plane.

A faint smile appeared on Scarlett's lips, "Indeed, my brother Seven is really an excellent observant!"

Seven let out a lively laugh. "Damn!! You can try to hide your true feelings from others, but not from me," he said with a knowing tone. "I already knew you before you joined our guild. And don't forget, I'm your frequent partner on most of your missions."

Scarlett remained silent, unsure of what to say next.

After a long pause, she took a deep breath, her eyes blazed with rage. "I want to annihilate every last Withers," she said softly, but Seven could feel how serious her tone was.

He was taken aback by her sudden outburst. He could see the fire in her eyes, making him worry that she would act rashly.

"Scarlett, I know how you feel," Seven said softly, trying to calm her down. "But we have to be careful. We don't want to provoke the Withers, right?"

Scarlett glared at him, saying, "...I don't care to be careful. I will kill them if it is proven that they caused my mother's suffering and fled to a foreign land!"

"I know, Scarlett…." Seven said soothingly. "But you have to be calm. We can't let our emotions cloud your judgment."

Scarlett took a deep breath to contain her anger. She knew Seven was right. They have to be careful if they want to beat the Withers. They are not easy opponents. She had heard that the Withers ruled the underground in country X, and its influence spread across multiple continents.

"I understand," she finally said, her voice calm. "But I will not rest until I find out the truth. And if the Withers are responsible for my mother's suffering, they will pay for what they have done! I will make them suffer, as they had suffered my mother. I will annihilate every single person responsible for my mother's suffering!"

Seven nodded, a small smile playing on his lips. "Well, no worries, I will help you..." he said.

Scarlett was finally able to smile with relief after hearing Seven's words. This mission will be easy if she has Seven to help her. She knows how capable he is.

After discussing her plans, Scarlett was lost in thought while looking at the clouds outside the window. 

Scarlett desperately wanted to take a nap, hoping that when she woke up, her memories of Xander and that bitch Zoey would be gone. 

But even after trying to sleep for two hours, she could not get rid of the image. It was as if those memories were engraved in her mind, tormenting her every moment.
