The Moonlight Lilac

Disclaimer: This story is written in Tagalog-English. Another disclaimer: It's bloody, wordy, and GAY. (Alexa, play Don't blame me by Taylor Swift) _____________ For love, would you play the role of the hero or the villain? Killings have been happening left and right in the entire country because an unmasked serial killer is on the loose. What a wrong time for a girl named Skylar Millie Parker to return home after spending four great years in Canada, leaving well-paid job. But fortunately, something happened on her way home as she met someone who would eventually lead her to an even better job offered by a prominent family. Skylar accepted it without having a hint of bigger problem that would come into her life in the form of a person; Hera Cythera Arentsvelt. The stories about Cythera intrigued her, even without personally seeing the infamous head of the family as she's always locked in her room. Quiet and mysterious, hauntingly playing Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. But then the time finally came, and something unexplainable changed inside Skylar the moment she saw the woman behind that name... "I remember vividly the first time I laid my eyes on you. You were wearing your purple robe with the same color as your eyes. I suddenly felt like everything around me had stopped, and you were the only one moving. Slowly taking the steps down the grand stairs. It felt like my breath got stuck in my throat, my heart pumping more blood than it should, and my head whispered to my ear...she looks ethereal." What would you risk to protect the person who matters most to you?
