Introduction
"Tell me more about them," she hissed, her voice like a serpent's whisper, as she pierced his thigh with a red-hot rod. The air was heavy with the stench of burning flesh and the sound of his cries echoed through the caverns of hell.
"I don't know anything!" he pleaded, his eyes wide with terror, as he struggled against the heavy chains binding his hands together.
Scarlet's laughter was like a cold breeze, sending shivers down the spine. "I became a devil because of all of you," she spat, her voice dripping with venom. "Now, I will use your blood to paint the city of Italy red."
With a swift motion, she raised her sword and severed his left leg, the sound of his screams echoing through the darkness. Scarlet's thirst for revenge had driven her to become a devil, fueled by the pain of her past.
But as she continued her reign of terror, a new challenge emerged. Love came knocking on her door, in the form of two men, each with their own secrets and motives. One, a man, determined to save her from the darkness, and the other, a man, who seemed to understand her pain.
Scarlet found herself torn between her desire for revenge and the possibility of redemption. As she navigated the treacherous landscape of love and hate, she realized that her revenge might come at a higher cost than she had ever imagined.
Will Scarlet succeed in her quest for revenge, or will love and redemption change her course? Can she escape the dangerous love triangle that threatens to consume her, or will she succumb to the darkness that has driven her for so long? The fate of Italy hangs in the balance, as Scarlet's story unfolds.

Chapter 1
The sun shown brightly in sky as noise of cars filled the City of Asia.
The keys family were shown playing in a penthouse outskirts of town. the mother and two children who are apparently 5 years old.
The woman has always cared about her twins after the death of her husband, she doesn't want her children to feel left out so she took them on the holidays in one of their penthouse outside the city. The place was heavily guarded because everyone knows that the keys family are one of the richest family in Asia. The family was playing a game of hide-and-seek. The girl hid behind the stick curtains on the house while the mother and her twin brother were meant to find her.
Everything was going smoothly until the door busted open and 5 people came in unannounced with guns in their hands, out of fear the girl remained rooted on the spot. Her mother and her brother went on their knees instantly with their hands up. So many thoughts run through her mind. She was wondering who my family had offended until the five people pulled off their mask and her jaw dropped. They were none other than three trusted guards, the cook, whom she took as a mother and also the gateman.
She smiled because she thought it was also part of the game they were playing not until her brother was shot and drop dead, her mother's eyes become glassy with tears then she knew it was not a child's play. Her mother signed a few document in which she didn't know what it meant but when her mother saw her trying to come out of the thick curtains, she gave her a hidden sign and told her to run but being a child she was she couldn't stand it when she saw her mother shot on her forehead. She screamed earning the attention of the five devils.
She ran out before they could touch her but what she saw next made her heart stopped beating, the house suddenly exploded with her mother and her brother in it. She kept running through the thick bushes until she got to a cliff. She didn't want to jump but seeing the five devil's in front of her she had no choice, she wanted to jump but was stopped by them.
" Stoppp!!" Mia, their cook, said smiling sinisterly.
" Aunty Mia please" Ariana keys, who just witnessed her family's death cried.
" How can you die when you don't even know the secret behind your father's sudden death?" Joe, the gateman said with a smirk dancing on his lips.
" What do you mean Uncle Joe?" Ariana asked in tears.
" Since you're going to die anyways why don't we tell you about your father. Your Father didn't die a natural death. Mia here poisoned him to death so we can acquire all your properties which we have done. Your family is gone, your father is gone and none of your relatives will see you because they would think that the Keys family died in a fire incident. So sorry my darling but you have to die" Chris, one of guards, said bringing out a long rod with a sharp end.
Ariana shivered when she saw the rod, tears ran uncontrollably down her eyes. This was the worst experience a child can ever experience during childhood. She watched him take each step with a venomous smirk on his face.
She attempted to run but a rod was dug deep into her chest. The pains were so unbearable that she couldn't scream out loud, streams of tears keep rolling down her cheeks as her eyes pleaded for mercy but they were so heartless that they never cared. With the rod deep in her heart she was pushed off the cliff.
Ariana looked at them with her reddish eyes duo she was falling deeper into the ground.
" I will avenge my parents death just wait and see" she vowed before she lost consciousness.
They all shared the properties equally, and went their separate ways to avoid suspicion.

★★★ 20 YEARS LATER★★★
~~ ITALY~~~ SICILY~~~
★★★ SCARLET SCORPION EVO X★★★
The streets of Sicily were dark and dreary, and the wind howled through the alleyways. But even on a night like this, there was one place that always seemed to buzz with activity: the mobster's mansion. Inside, the lights were bright and the air was thick with the smoke of cigars.
A group of trainers were matching into the training center in a single file which is led by Dracula, the devil's right hand man.
A young man in his mid twenties. Black hair, body built, and a pink heart-shaped lips but sold his heart to the devil. The dark aura can make one pee on themselves.
Dracula pulled out his gun and shot one of the trainee's directly on his forehead, his blood spilled on the other trainers.
" SCARLET SCORPION EVO X rule number 7" he thundered, dangerously glaring at them.
" Do not exchange words with your senior" they chorused.
" Good. This bastard did just that last night" he said emotionlessly.
One thing about SCARLET SCORPION EVO X is that once a rule is broken, the penalty is DEATH.
A lady walked in carrying a bag behind her. She dropped the bag on a side table. She's Rachel, the one in charge of logistics in the clan.
" Everyone take your guns and stand in position" he ordered moving around with his crossed behind him. Everyone took out there weapons and stood in position facing the shooting board on the wall.
" If you miss a single target, then I will send you to a place of no return" Dracula thundered, while some trainee's pee on themselves.
" Go check on Scarlet" he ordered Rachel. She stared at nothing in particular before walking out to the largest apartment in the clan.
DVV'S DOMAIN was boldly written on at the entrance. She took a deep breath before walking in.
•••••••••••
< DVV'S DOMAIN>
The smoke from the devil's cigarettes formed a thick smoke in the room, covering her face from the dean light. The single bolb in the middle of room swan in an oscillating form. A glass of brandy was sitting on the table before her. She streached forth her hand and a Dragon head tattoo came to view instantly. She took the glass and brought it close to her dark red lips, she gulped everything in one go. Then gently removed her black hoody and stood up.
She has long, dark hair that falls to her waist, and a pale, porcelain complexion. Her eyes are a deep, dark brown, and they seem to be empty of emotion or warmth. Her expression is cold and hard, as if she's seen too much suffering and pain in her life.
A smile full of venom took over her stoney face as she stared at the starches of those who made her childhood hell.
The people who made her birth and childhood living nightmare. The people who made her this way. The smile was suddenly replaced with a devilish smirk. The people who thought she would die, the people who killed her family in cold blood.
Within her twenty years of living, she has been gathering information about them but it was difficult because she doesn't know their last name, but her search became fruitful when a bastard accidentally linked his former name online. She was able to trace him before he took it down.
CHRIS ALBERTA BRYCE who changed his name to Brazil Smith after the incident. The man who stabbed her then, the man who made her saw hell on earth. A dangerous smile flashed her face as she shoot the picture. They will all taste her wrath which is death.
" You're up" Rachel said stepping in full into the room.
" Where is Dracula?" The devil asked puffing out more smoke from her weed.
" Here" he smiled, walking in too.
" I know what you want to say but he's dead" he explained.
"Good. And when is Diego coming back?" She asked again crossing her legs beside the table.
" Soon. That was his response" Rachel replied.
" Reports" the devil ordered again.
Dracula walked to a cyber table and zoomed a picture of a middle aged man wearing glasses.
" Chris Alberta Bryce, the General Commander of Police Force in italy. He's having a promotion party in three days. That's the perfect time to crush him Scarlet" Dracula smiled. He's the only person permitted to call her by her name.
" Prepare the gang we're striking in three days" She ordered, walking out on them with her weed in the middle of her fingers.
Dracula stared at her for a while with so many thoughts going through his head. If she's Scarlet then why is she after the people that killed Ariana twenty years ago? What's there connection?
The question mark was left hanging in his head with no reply.
★★★ NEXT DAY~~~ NIGHT FALL ★★★
Scarlet sat in her office, smoking a cigarette and staring out the window, looking out at the rain-soaked streets below. She's restless and agitated, and she can't seem to find any peace or comfort. She was thinking about the past, and about all the people she had lost. She had built an empire out of nothing, but it was not enough. She wanted revenge, and she would not stop until she had it.
She was still in thought when Rachel walked into the office.
" Boss we have an exchange with the Russian empire tonight at the abandoned Warehouse down the street" she announced.
" Get the car ready let's go" she ordered picking up her black shad glasses, she walked out of the office with a dominating aura around her and the sly smile on her face.
Scarlett, Dracula and the others arrive at the abandoned warehouse, which is dark and foreboding. They park their car and approach the front door, weapons drawn. The door is unlocked, and they enter the building, their senses on high alert. The warehouse is huge and empty, except for a few boxes and crates scattered about. There's no sign of the Russian Empire, but they know they're here somewhere. Suddenly, they hear a noise from the shadows. A figure steps out of the darkness, and they recognize him as the leader of the Russian Empire. Sensing it might be a trap Scarlet walked back to the car without being seen by anyone.
The Russian Empire leader is a tall, muscular man, with a scar running down his cheek. His eyes are cold and hard, and he's holding a gun in his hand. He looks at them, a sly smile on his face.
"Welcome, I'm glad you could make it" he said. Dracula and the others keep their weapons trained on him, but he doesn't seem to be worried.
"What's the deal?" Rachel asked with a steady voice.
"Straight to business, I like it," the Russian Empire leader said
"We're here to exchange the drugs for the money, as we agreed," Rachel said. "But first, I need to know that you're not going to betray us."
The Russian Empire leader chuckles. "You don't trust me?" he asked in a mocking voice.
"That's understandable, I suppose. But I assure you, I'm a man of my word. I'm here to make a deal, and that's all."
Rachel narrows her eyes. "I'll be the judge of that," she said.
The Russian Empire leader holds up his hand.
"I'll prove it to you, the drugs are in the back room. You can inspect them, and then we can exchange the money. If you're not satisfied, we can walk away and forget the whole thing ever happened" he said
Rachel considers this, and then nods.
"Fine, take us to the drugs" she ordered.
The Russian Empire leader leads them to a door at the back of the warehouse, and opens it. Inside, there's a large pile of cardboard boxes, each one labeled with a number.
The Russian Empire leader points to a box at the top of the pile.
"Box number one, take a look" he said. Dracula approaches the box, and opens it. Inside is a large bag of white powder. He reaches in and takes a pinch, rubbing it between his fingers.
"Cocaine," he said, looking at the Russian Empire leader.
"As agreed."
The Russian Empire leader nods.
"I told you I was a man of my word. Now, the money" Rachel hands him a briefcase. He opens it, and inside is a large stack of cash.
The Russian Empire leader counts the money, making sure it's all there. Then he looks up at them.
"So we have a deal?" he asks.
"We have a deal," Rachel said. The Russian Empire leader smiles, and then reaches into his jacket pocket. Dracula and the others tense, expecting him to pull out a gun. But instead, he pulls out a small box. "
As a gesture of goodwill, please accept this gift," he says, handing the box to Rachel. Rachel takes it, and opens it. Inside is a beautiful diamond necklace.
Rachel looks at the necklace, her eyes wide. She's never seen anything like it. It's so beautiful, it almost takes her breath away.
"I... I can't accept this," she stammers. "It's too much."
The Russian Empire leader laughs.
"Nonsense, It's a gift, to show that we're partners now. Please, take it." Rachel looks at him, and then slowly nods.
"Thank you," she said. The Russian Empire leader smiles.
"Now, shall we make the exchange?" he asked.
The others nod, and one by one, they start to unload the boxes from the pile. As they do, Rachel can't help but feel uneasy. Something about this feels wrong. She's not sure why, but she can't shake the feeling that something bad is about to happen. Then, out of the corner of her eye, she sees movement. A shadow in the darkness, just beyond the door. She freezes, her heart pounding in her chest. Did anyone else see it? Or is it just her imagination?
Suddenly, there's a loud bang, and the door flies open. A group of armed men rush into the room, and the Russian Empire leader is knocked to the ground. The others try to run, but they're surrounded.
"Drop your weapons!" one of the men shouts, pointing a gun at Rachel. Rachel slowly puts her gun down, along with the others. She doesn't know what's going on, but she knows one thing - she's in serious trouble.
The armed men grab the Russian Empire leader and force him to his feet. He's struggling, and shouting something in Russian, but the men just laugh. They lead him out of the room, and Rachel can only watch, her heart pounding in her chest. She doesn't know what's going to happen next, but she knows that this isn't good. One of the men turns to her.
"You're coming with us, You've got some explaining to do" he said, Rachel's eyes widen, and she starts to shake.
"Please... please don't hurt me," she stammers.
Scarlet knew that things have gone out of hand and she knew the game the Russian leader was playing so she smirked and took out her gun and place it in the strip of her trouser she pulled off her black shade and covered her face with a black mask.
Scarlet approaches the Russian Empire leader, her face a mask of calm.
"So," she says, her voice low and even.
"You think this is all some big joke?" The Russian Empire leader scoffs.
"Of course it is. You're just a naive little girl who doesn't know what she's gotten herself into."
Scarlet's eyes narrow, and she slowly pulls out her gun. "I think you're the one who's in over your head," she said, her voice low and deadly.
The Russian Empire leader's eyes widen, and he takes a step back.
"What are you doing?" he asked, as his voice began to shake.
"I'm ending this little game," Scarlet said, her finger on the trigger.
"You see, I knew you were planning something. I knew it was a trap. And I'm not going to let you win." The Russian Empire leader's face turns white, and he stumbles backwards, his hands in the air.
"I'll give you anything you want, Just please, don't shoot." He begs.
We'll start with Scarlet. She stands there, her gun trained on the Russian Empire leader. He's sweating, and his eyes are darting around the room, as if looking for an escape.
"What's the matter?" Scarlet asks, her voice taunting. "Aren't you the big, tough mafia boss? I thought you were supposed to be fearless."
The Russian Empire leader scowls at her.
"I'll make you pay for this," he said, with his voice low and dangerous. But Scarlet just smiles.
"I'd like to see you try," she replied
