Chapter 5: Chapter 5 : During 1 months Event — **** .
☞ During This one month event. ( Gap )
Natasha stood over the lifeless body of the woman she had just killed—a major figure in the William RTC construction company. Her eyes gleamed with ruthless determination. The woman's face was now hers, the transformation flawless. She adjusted the ill-fitted suit she had taken from her victim and looked at herself in the mirror.
"This should do," Natasha murmured, her voice now an exact replica of the woman's.
"This will get me close enough."
Her plan was simple but daring. By taking the form of a trusted figure, she could infiltrate the William RTC household and dismantle them from within. There was no room for hesitation or mercy.
Meanwhile, Sarah took a more calculated approach. With the help of one of her loyal subordinates, she secured a small rental house in a quiet neighborhood near the William RTC estate. Her disguise was humble but effective—an ordinary woman with her "father," a character played convincingly by her subordinate.
Dressed in modest, outdated clothes, Sarah blended perfectly into the unassuming life they had fabricated. To outsiders, they were just another pair of tenants looking to settle in the area. But Sarah's sharp eyes were always fixed on the towering William RTC mansion in the distance.
"This will work," she said to herself as she adjusted her hair in the cracked mirror of their rented house.
Her subordinate, who played the role of her father, nodded.
"It's risky, but if we're careful, no one will suspect a thing. Are you sure about this, My Queen?"
Sarah turned to him, her face devoid of emotion.
"We don't have a choice. If we're going to destroy them, we need to get closer. Leo"
" Yes , Queen . " Leo response with degnity.
" From now on call me Sarah oke , Father? " Sarah smrik, because there acting just now start, it will going to be the down fall of Willaim house .
With Natasha inside the company and Sarah operating from the neighborhood, their revenge was beginning to take shape.

During this time, Sarah's "father," Leo, managed to secure a job as a garden caretaker at the William RTC household. Despite being an act, Leo played his role with exceptional diligence and skill. He quickly became known for his honesty and hard work, earning the trust of everyone around him.
One late afternoon, after finishing his work on the estate's expansive grounds, Leo approached the grand entrance of the house to give his daily report. He stood straight, his demeanor respectful but confident.
"Miss Alia, I've finished tending to the right side of the garden,"— Leo said politely as he removed his hat.
Alia Rei Lux, Max William's wife, looked up from her tablet, her sharp eyes softening. Despite her stunning appearance, which suggested she was in her late thirties, Alia was actually 56 *Not Sure*—a testament to her refined lifestyle and grace. She offered Leo a small, approving smile.
"Good work, Leo,"— she said, her voice warm yet commanding.
"By the way, there's something I wanted to ask."
"Yes, ma'am?" —Leo responded, standing at attention.
"I heard you have a daughter,"— Alia began, tilting her head slightly.
Leo nodded quickly, keeping his tone steady.— "Yes, ma'am. Her name is Sarah."
Alia's smile widened as she set down her tablet. "Well, there's a function tomorrow—a party."
She also said , "We always make sure our workers and their families are treated to a proper meal during these events. If you have some free time, why don't you bring your daughter along? I'm sure it'll be a good experience for her."
Leo hesitated for the briefest moment before nodding.— "Of course, ma'am. I'll bring her if we're free. Thank you for the invitation."
Alia gave him a curt nod, her attention already shifting back to her work.
"Good. And don't forget to keep the garden in perfect condition for tomorrow. A lot of guests will be coming."
"Yes, ma'am," —Leo said firmly, turning to leave.
As he walked back toward the staff quarters, his mind raced. The party would be the perfect opportunity for Sarah to get closer to the William RTC household. But it also came with risks. He would have to warn her to be careful—the slightest mistake could expose them both.

The next day, the William RTC household was bustling with activity. The grand estate was filled with guests, all dressed in their finest for the much-anticipated event—Rocky and Tara's ring ceremony. The air was alive with the sounds of laughter, clinking glasses, and hurried footsteps as staff moved about ensuring everything was perfect.
Max William, the head of the family, was preoccupied with Robert, discussing an important property deal. Despite the significance of the ceremony, business always seemed to take precedence. Still, both men managed to split their focus between the deal and ensuring everything for the event proceeded smoothly.
Inside one of the large, ornately decorated rooms, Eithan sat quietly in the corner, observing the chaos. His composed demeanor contrasted sharply with the lively atmosphere around him. He had always preferred to stay out of the spotlight, content to watch from the sidelines.
On the other side of the room, Josh, Adi, and George were already drunk, their loud laughter echoing as they clinked glasses and exchanged boisterous jokes. Their antics were as predictable as ever, and no one bothered to stop them. And yes there were many girl surrounding them .
Ruhr, seated beside Eithan, leaned in closer and started a conversation. She was a relative of the family, known for her sharp wit and curiosity.
"So, what do you think of Rocky and Tara's ring ceremony?"—— she asked, her tone light but inquisitive.
Eithan glanced at her briefly before replying. ——"It's fine, I suppose. Rocky seems happy, and Tara... well, she's glowing as usual. Isn't that what matters?"
Ruhr chuckled softly. ——"You always have such simple answers, Eithan. But don't you think it's a bit rushed? I mean, they've only been engaged for what, a 1 months? You are her brother."
Eithan shrugged.—— "Maybe. But if it works for them, who are we to judge?"
Ruhr smiled, appreciating his calm perspective. "Fair enough. But you know how these events are—more for the families than the couple."
Eithan nodded, his gaze shifting back to the crowd. His mind wandered as the ceremony carried on around him. The noise, the people, the extravagant display—it all felt distant.
Unbeknownst to them, Sarah and her "father" Leo had just entered the estate grounds, blending seamlessly with the staff and other invitees. For Sarah, this was the perfect opportunity to observe the family and get closer to her target.

Despite changing her face to blend in, Sarah's beauty was still striking, an aura that couldn't be hidden. She exuded a presence so captivating that every pair of eyes—both boys and girls—were drawn to her, unable to look away. Only the elders and Eithan seemed unaffected, too absorbed in their own conversations and thoughts.
From across the room, Josh, already slightly tipsy from the drinks, caught sight of Sarah. He paused mid-conversation, his glass slipping slightly in his hand. Without a second thought, he stood up from his chair, his movements exaggerated and unsteady. With a flourish, he approached Sarah and, to everyone's surprise, knelt down like a prince from a fairy tale.
"My lady," —Josh began, extending his hand dramatically.
"May I have the honor of knowing your name?"
Sarah froze for a moment, her mind racing. The attention was far from ideal, and she had not anticipated such a bold move. But before she could respond, Leo stepped forward, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
"It's fine, Sarah," ——he whispered gently, his eyes meeting hers with a subtle nod. ——"Remember, we're just playing our roles."
Drawing a deep breath, Sarah placed her hand lightly in Josh's. The room seemed to still as she did. Her touch was impossibly soft, like the petals of a rare flower. A faint, pure fragrance emanated from her, so subtle yet intoxicating that Josh visibly hesitated, overwhelmed by her presence.
"Sarah,"— she finally said, her voice calm yet carrying an elegance that matched her appearance.
Josh's expression lit up, a grin spreading across his face. ——"Sarah. A beautiful name for a beautiful lady."
The scene drew murmurs from the guests around them, and Josh, emboldened by the attention, looked as though he were about to say more. Sarah, however, gently pulled her hand away, her movements graceful and deliberate.
"Thank you,"—— she said simply, her voice steady, though her eyes carried a coolness that hinted at her disinterest.
Josh chuckled nervously, rising to his feet.—— "Well, I hope to see you around tonight, Sarah."
He gave a slight bow before retreating, though his gaze lingered on her longer than it should have.
As Sarah turned away, her father leaned in close.
"You handled that well," Leo murmured. "But be careful. The more attention you attract, the more dangerous this becomes."
Sarah nodded slightly, her composure intact. "I know. But this is only the beginning."
☞ House hall
Josh was utterly captivated, his mind spiraling out of control as he stared into Sarah's striking blue eyes. It was as if the world around him ceased to exist. The brilliance of her gaze, combined with her ethereal beauty, had bewitched him entirely. Without even realizing what he was doing, he blurted out the words that no one expected.
"I... I want to marry you!" ——he declared loudly, his voice carrying across the room.
A collective gasp rippled through the crowd. Heads turned, and conversations came to an abrupt halt as all eyes fixed on Josh and Sarah. For a moment, even Max William paused in his dealings, looking up with a sharp furrow in his brow.
Sarah, however, remained composed, her mind racing. This could be useful. If I marry him, I'll have access to this house without suspicion... but accepting now would draw too much attention.
Deciding on her next move, Sarah feigned a look of startled innocence, then quickly turned and ran toward her "father," Leo. Her heart raced—not from panic, but from calculating the implications of Josh's proposal.
Josh remained rooted in place, his wide eyes still fixed on Sarah as she fled. Her graceful movements, the way her hair flowed behind her, and the way her presence lingered—it was enough to send his imagination spiraling into a fantasy. He saw himself with her, walking hand in hand through gardens, laughing, dancing, and sharing an intimate life.
Meanwhile, Leo acted as though he hadn't heard the commotion, but inwardly, he was pleased. Sarah's sudden rise in attention could accelerate their plan, though it was also a dangerous gamble.
Josh's father, Max William, finally rose from his seat and approached his son, his expression stern. ——"Josh, what's this nonsense? You're drunk. Compose yourself before you embarrass this family further."
But Josh barely heard his father. His gaze remained on Sarah, now standing beside Leo.
"I mean it, Dad,"—— Josh muttered, his voice distant. ——"She's... perfect."
Max sighed heavily, rubbing his temples.—— "We'll talk about this later," he said firmly before walking away to manage the ceremony.
Across the room, Sarah whispered to Leo, —"It seems he's already lost himself in this illusion. This could work in our favor."
Leo nodded, his expression calm but sharp. —"Yes, but don't let your guard down. This family is full of wolves. Even the ones that look weak can bite."
Sarah's lips curved into a faint, knowing smile. "Don't worry. I'm not the prey—I'm the hunter."
