The Addictive Behavior

Prologue: The Addictive Behavior

A seven years-old girl who had been abandoned by her ignorant parents was left as if she was just dust that got swept away in a second. Even though it seems like she only grew with hatred in her, caused by the people who left her, however she still has a soft side. It shows when she was told by a tall figure in a fancy suit that if she wanted to live in such a dream place, she should kill a cat, however she was unable to do so. Seeing how determined she was, the man admired her and decided to take her in, not knowing that she is about to get involved with a mafia for the rest of her life.

A tremendous building that is filled with mostly well-built figures, with only a few fragile figures, unfortunately they were only there for most people's satisfaction. Some of them were seen playing with the fragile ones, then some of them were seen taking care of the documents, couldn't careless about anything that is going on around them. It could be indifference, or actual fear in them.

A few steps coming from the entrance caused by a woman in a bloody-colored suit, collaborating with the color black. “I believe it's been five months? Six months? Whatever, who cares– Boys... I can't believe you still look the same, hideous,” the unknown woman said with sarcasm. Just with the existence of the woman causing them to create such hectic situation, however with that, the situation summoning another well-built figure, but in a way more fancy suit with a piece of paper in his grip. Their encounter with each other before, it seemed like it didn't ended well, since it could be seen by the way they looked at each other. Their eyes filled with rage, hatred, disappointment, all mixed up. “Megan Glatzel, you're still...alive?–”, the man said, before getting cut off by the woman, Megan Glatzel. “How about we get a room and talk? You cut me off last time, Mr. Smith,” the woman immediately responded along with a smirk formed on her pinkish lips, not waiting for the other to respond, she instead got herself entered into the man's office. A mockery escaped from the man's lips as it parted, “I know what to do. You, come with me, don't involve a gun in this. She is the one who fucked up,” the man said to one of his henchmen, commanded one of them to follow him, entering his office a few seconds after the woman did.

Once the door closed, the woman realized that the man has entered the office as well, then she turned around, only to see that there's a person behind the man. Seeing how the man tried to turn the situation, making it dangerous for her, instead the woman's lips parted only to let out a laugh to a not laughable situation, leaving the man in a confusion. “I guess you had him following you here, because you're actually scared? How adorable,” the woman said as a smirk formed on her lips. Clenching his teeth as soon as she mocked him, before trying to turn the situation once again by threatening the woman, “Give me your last words, I'm excited to see your old man's reaction to it,” the man responded to her mockery, followed by the man sitting on his desk, while the henchmen stood next to him, looking all tough. “The paper you're holding on.. Give it back,” the woman's face immediately turned serious as soon as she gets back to her business. “How funny, it was never yours, though. It is ours, and you're dead, not once but twice”, the man responded as his finger signaling the henchmen to “take care” of the woman. By taking care of the woman, he meant to murder her, in front of his eyes so the woman will no longer could plan another surprise like this. However, before the henchmen could get ahold of her, a bullet went through his forehead, causing a bloody mess around the body. The man's eyes widened, as it followed the way that the henchmen's body fell on the ground, before trying to find where did the bullet came from. Soon he finds out where the culprit is located, his gaze turned to the ventilation on the ceiling, before he tried to get a gun from the drawer on his desk. Unfortunately, he was too slow to handle the woman's speed and ended up on the ground with a bullet went through his forehead. After a tense situation, she quickly got herself back together and focused on getting away from the crime scene, not even letting what just happened get to her yet. “Ma'am, up here!”, a loud shout coming from ventilation, causing her to snap out of her mind and began to think of how to get away from there, before getting caught. Without hesitant, she got behind the desk and pushed it towards the door with all her strength to prevent the others from entering the room. After doing so, she reached for the ventilation to finally escaped the building with the help from her new member.

A sigh of relief escaped from her lips as she finally got out of the ventilation. Just standing still in a moment of silence, thinking about what happened just a moment ago. The feeling of sadness, betrayal, and disappointment once again coated her mind. Tears are starting to fill up her eyes, while her people were taking care of the mess they caused to their rival. Wiping it away as soon as the tears began to roll down on her cheeks, not wanting herself to think that she regretted it. She then took a few steps towards her car and opened the door, before entering the car by herself. Since they are black-tinted windows, she carelessly took her clothes off that appeared to have a bit of her enemy's blood on it, and then she changed into a fancy feminine dress. Getting out of the car as if nothing, as her well-built members looked at her in silence. “Simon, come here,” the woman said in low, yet soft voice, commanding one of the well-built members, Simon. It was pretty much clear that Simon is the closest one to her and the longest person that worked for the company, seeing how he looked the oldest one in the group. “Yes, Ma'am?”, the male assistant responded as well as he got closer to the woman. “It's been 15 years already, Simon. That nickname just doesn't suit me when I'm younger than you, you can be more informal with me,” the woman said before a soft chuckle left her lips as it parted, clearly enjoying the way she tease the male assistant. “Alright, fine– What is it, Megan?” the male assistant finally gave up the formality and addressed the woman informally, as a soft calming smile formed on his lips. The woman nodded, satisfied with the male's response and looked at the rest of her people, “Great job, everyone. And I wanted to treat all of you to celebrate this. Please eat anything you want and enjoy it, however I'm not coming along with all of you–”, her reply was cut off by a familiar tall figure with a fancy black suit. It was Elliott Willson. The son of the mafia boss she's working for, “I'm also not coming with all of you,” he said, followed by a smirk formed on his lips while wrapping his arm around her shoulder. A scoff came from the woman as she realized who it was, she decided to ignore him instead. “Here, Simon,” The woman continued, before turning to the side, facing the male assistant and handed him her card, “don't hesitate”, the woman said, ending the conversation with a smile left on her lips, also leaving her people all speechless. “Since you left your card with them, wanna use mine to get dinner?” Elliott asked as he showed off his black card to her, waving it in front of her face while having this smug looks on his face. Not waiting for her response, Elliott immediately entered her car, sitting in the driver seat. Not having enough energy to get him out of the car and yelled at him, she decided to get in the passenger seat without making a problem out of it. “Just don't go to May's Diner, their food's smell is enough to make me wanna puke,” the woman said as she rolled down the window, before resting her arm on the window. "May's Diner it is," the man responded, wanting to tease her by getting on her nerves. After starting the car, they headed somewhere, leaving the tremendous hectic building that has been surrounded by the police, so is Simon and the members.
