Lovely's car stopped by the mansion and he alighted to meet Finn and Ashley.
"Did you find him yet?". He asked.
"Nope, His number isn't going through neither".
"That's bad". Lovely said.
"I thought you spoke with him".
"Yeah, it was after school".
"Did you had a quarrel".
"What sort of question is that, Finn?". He asked and Finn scoffed.
"When you're his sworn enemy, why wouldn't I ask?".
"Hey hey guys, we're worried about our brother not to fight". Ashley said.
"Brother? When did Candy became one of us?".
"Just stop it Finn, the fact that he came down here means he cares".
"I'll just call the principal to confirm if he saw him after school". Lovely said and walked away.
He soon returned retreating his phone.
"Diaz is at school".
"What?".
"Principal says he want to spend the night there".
"How can he?".
Lovely tried Cindy's number but it wasn't going through yet.
He exhaled and raised his head up.
"I guess I'll go take a good rest". He said walking away.
His Chaffeur was following after him when at the hallway one of the doors opened and a hand drag him in.
"Boss". He bowed and Dahlia bolt the door.
"Did you find out?".
"Yes boss, it's same Kapella Elijah".
"Which Kapella Elijah?".
"The one you've gathered info about already, the girl your brother was with at the party in his hotel ".
" The girl with the charming voice ".
" Yes, that's her, Kapella Elijah ".
"I thought Lovely was chatting over a table with two girls was normal but it isn't and it's same girl he is with at school?". Dahlia asked.
"Yes boss, Diaz is also after her and they fight alot".
"Shhhh.. I know that already, what could be so special about her that my siblings are after". She mumbled and she sat on the bed.
"You said they had a fight because of her today?".
"Yes, they threw each other into a pool, I think Finn and Ashley have stepped back ma'am".
"Finn and Ashley are the youngest and scared rats, they don't fight with the elders".
"He's suppose to have a date with her today ma'am".
"You told me already, how did it go, you returned early".
She sipped wine from her cup.
"She wasn't at home so we went to her friends place and she wasn't there as well".
"How can he stoop so low for a girl that can't keep to him, he's an idiot". Dahlia bite her lower lip.
"She's beautiful boss".
"Keep quiet! I saw her on the papers and internet, of course she is and the voice makes everything charming but my brother isn't like this because of it, he's met many beautiful girls before or am I not beautiful". She asked and he swallowed the saliva in his mouth.
"Of course you are boss, charming".
"Thanks for the compliment, you said you know her place right?". She asked.
"Yes but I don't think she's returning home boss, probably her friends place".
"Then we stop right there tomorrow ".
" Ma'am? ".
" You heard me right ". Dahlia fired and she moved to the window.
" Boss always has his eyes on the girl ma'am and keeps an eye on...
".
" And you'll do me a favour of distracting him from her for tomorrow and if not, Inform me of his movement, I need some moment with Kapella Elijah not moment though but a friend bond without the knowledge of Candy ".
" Excuse me ma'am, friend bond? ".
" I'm not evil as everyone thinks, Fighting or killing the girl is childish and stupid, it shows how scared and weak I am".
"Boss?".
"We've been searching for a bride for Candy, maybe we just found one".
"Kapella Elijah? ". He asked.
"Just keep shut!".
"Sorry ma'am".
"He always reject every possible she devil we've sent to find their ways into his life but for once I think he fell in love against mother's rule". Dahlia smirked and ran her hand through her hair.
"A bride for the billionaire heir, interesting".
"But what we need isn't a cool angel but a dangerous daughter of Lucifer". Dahlia I downed and his eye popped out.
"Goodnight Frank before I rape you".
He hurriedly out of the room and she laughed as she consumed the wine left.

"What would you love to take?". Kapella asked as she sat.
"Nothing, I'm fine". Dahlia said and crossed her legs.
"You ain't going to school today?". She asked and Kapella nodded.
"I'm not feeling too well".
"Oh, how do you feel now, you should see a doctor you know ".
" It's just minor, I'll be fine ".
" Alright then, as I've said, I'm Dali but call me D".
"D?".
"Yeah. I listened to your song and it was superb, I can't stay a day without listening to it". She said and Kapella smiled.
"I really love your voice".
"Thanks".
"Can you sing privately for me, I'll pay whatever amount you wish I just love your voice like I could borrow it ?".
"Don't flatter me".
"No am not, Kapella Elijah".
"The thing is I've retired from singing".
"What! Oh my God that breaks my heart".
"I don't sing, I only did it for my friend's party".
"Will you please show up if I invite you for one?".
"I can't assure".
"Please it's really important".
"I can't".
"Why?".
"I love to sing but I don't like the popularity of a thing".
"Wow!".
"How did you find me?".
"I have my ways".
"Your vehicle, your dressing, your speaking, I can guess you're handy".
"You mean rich?".
"Yeah".
"That's right and I need a personal melodist". She said.
"I attend school".
"I know well if it isn't comfortable with you, you don't have to accept, nice meeting you". Dahlia said and she rose up.
"Nice meeting you too, I'm sorry".
"No don't be, Even hearing your voice is okay, can we meet some other time?".
"Um... Maybe".
"Alright then".
"Goodbye".
Kapella moved back to Cindy room and inserts her sim card into the phone she had given her.

Cindy was walking down the hallway with Francis who was speaking endless when they almost bumped into Lovely who was leaving the principal office.
"Hey".
Francis pecked Cindy on the cheek and winked as he left causing her to scoff.
"Hi Lovely". She said looking down.
"Are you alright?".
"Yeah, totally, I heard you stopped by".
"Yes, thought I would find Kapella there seems she forget we had...".
"No, not at all".
"She suddenly became ill so we had to go to the hospital from school, she was admitted".
"Is she alright?".
"Feeling better now". Cindy said and he exhaled.
"I heard you left when you couldn't wait".
"Family issues".
"Um family issues?".
"Yeah but it's fine". He assured raising the file he held up.
"What's this?". She asked collecting the name badge he held with the files..
"Roxy Arrowood". She read out the name and handed it over to him.
"Never knew you had another sister".
"Distant relative, she wants to attend Phoenix High so I'm attending to the registration process for her".
"Oh, That's nice".
"You'll get to meet her soon, she's nice".
"Alright then bye".
"Um Cindy?".
"Yeah".
"Where's she now?".
"At my home".
"Can I drop you off later?".
"Um sure, bye". She said and he left.
She smiled softly and turned but it turned completely into a scared look as she saw someone.
Diaz could be seen walking down the hallway with the security agents in the school.
His eyes met with hers but she turned quickly and he passed by.
"Is my favorite bit in school yet?". He asked and her lips struggled to speak.
"I'll take that as a no, you look cute in that gown by the way ". He added and walked away with the men.
Cindy's heart pound loudly as she tried to take her phone from her bag but couldn't find it.
Diaz walked into the control room with the men and raised Cindy's phone up to his face.
He had secretly took the phone from her handbag as she was engrossed in him.
"Now I'm gonna have your number, beauty". He sat on the swivel chair turning 360°.
He went through her recent calls and saw a contact 'K Babe'.
"This should be it". He said and noticed something under the chair of one of the men as they accessed the footages in the control base that had captured Faceless.
He squat low and picked it up.

As Kapella's items poured on the ground, she hurriedly packed them in but she didn't get to see her badge that had gone under the chair.
..
..
..
Diaz took the name badge and rose slowly as there was flashes of the fight he had with Faceless.
He turned it over and he saw the name on the badge.
'KAPELLA ELIJAH'
"Kapella, It was you and your petty friend, now I understand her scared look, it isn't because I'm a terror, it's because I'm suppose to be dead". He whispered inaudible.

Flashback
..

The hallway was dead silent and dark there was nothing but Diaz body that laid on the ground.
He suddenly jolt up and groaned.
He took off his shirt revealing the bullets which were stuck in his bulletproof vest..
He had only fainted because of the sudden pressure the bullets caused to his heart.
He groaned as he removed the vest and was bare chest.
The scar of the bullets could be clearly seen on it.
"Bitch!". He cursed.

Kapella was eating popcorn from a packet as she watched a movie on the television when the phone on the table buzzed.
She took it and accepted the call from an unknown caller.
"Hello".
"I had no idea your voice sounds sweeter over the phone". A voice said and she scoffed.
"Excuse me, who are you?".
"Faceless should be able to guess".
She removed the phone to check the contact again and placed it back.
"I don't understand you".
"I can't believe you killed me, did you hate me that much?". His voice pierced into her ear.
"Diaz?". She whispered and her hand vibrated.
"That's right, let's say you forgot a little something during your operation, *Senza volto* ".
*Senza volto* meaning 'faceless' in Italian.
She swallowed the saliva in her mouth and her eyes blinked.
"I'll text you a location, meet me there by 9pm today or wait for the 9pm Phoenix News, First headline, Identity Of Famous Phoenix High Hacker Popularly Known As 'Faceless' revealed, it's your choice". He said and disconnected the call.
"Bitch, you think you can control a Mermaid!". She roared angrily.
