Once we are done eating, Giovanni went inside the restaurant, on his office specifically to discuss some things with Ms. Georgia. I haven't seen her again since I did not get the chance to go here because of my busy schedule being the secretary of her boss in his own company. I want to greet her but it seems like she will not go outside her office until her duty is done."Ariadne, let's go there." Haria poke my arms when she wants to say something so I looked at what she was pointing at. She's telling me that we should go inside the mini garden inside this restaurant. I smiled and nodded at her, they created this for the customers to feel relaxed inside the venue. It's so nice here, and we really get to enjoy the view. "Wow, the flowers are so beautiful even though they are not taking a lot of sunlight now since it's becoming a rainy season." Haria said while she was admiring those beautiful flowers, they indeed are. "Yes, but they are getting the care they need though. The staff here
As soon as we are back at home, all we want to do is to lay in the bed and that's what we did. Haria after showering blew dried her hair and then slept. While Gray told us he needs to go somewhere.After some minutes of laying on the bed, I went outside my room and then sat on the couch with nothing on my mind. Giovanni let me go home for a while and just go back to work tomorrow. I think he also needs to do something else after that vacation. He kept on looking at his phone after the talk with Ms. Georgia so I thought there was an emergency. Gray on the other hand just brought us home and then left us again. I made sure the door is locked because I am still haunted by the thing that happened to us in the hotel. Even though we are already at home, we still need to make sure we are safe. Especially that we are all alone here.I decided to check on my phone, there was no message so I went to the blocklist. I don't really know why I had the urge to open it but my jaw dropped while my hea
What has been decided? What is on his mind right now? I want to know the details while I am here but no one wants to speak out the truth. My body froze after seeing the man in front of me walk towards the bed where I am. I could not stop thinking about what he would do after that decision he was talking about. Does he want to kill me now? "I wonder what he will feel after I tortured you with my own hands. Seems like you have a special place with his dead heart. He did save you many times, why is that? A secretary and boss relationship huh?" I don't really know what this man is talking about but the way he speaks, it's making me feel the chilling sensation inside me. I am still tied to this bed and I can't get up to run. It's true that death will come to us uninvited. Will he really torture me? Guess he will, I think he will not waste his time telling lies and doing nonsense. "You seemed clueless, lady, but let me tell you one thing." He stopped for a while and then leaned down to
To be in his arms is not the thing I wanted to do. It's like he is also holding tight on my neck, but I can't walk my feet to run away from him. The wounds and bruises have made me so weak. My hands wrapped around his neck as he walked out in this place. I decided not to close my eyes even though he said so, I need to see the people he killed mercilessly. Them, laying on the ground and not breathing anymore.I wanted to cry, but my eyes were so tired from doing that. I have cried enough while waiting for my death. So I can't do it anymore. My eyes wander around the place, this place is so lifeless, and the dead bodies on the ground made it more creepy than I thought. I feel like vomiting while seeing them.An hour ago, they were just breathing and alive but now that Giovanni has come, they went to their final destination in life. "Close your eyes." His voice was so calm, so soothing to hear that in the midst of death, he can still relax. How ironic that this man who opened my eyes in
It took him 5 minutes before going back to the room. I still can't move my feet, but I did manage to dress for myself. I think what he did was to let me do it on my own. When he came back, I frowned when I saw that he was holding a tray. I looked at it to see what was inside and saw some food. Did he ask his maids to cook? But why is he the one who is holding it? It's just odd, he can just tell the maids to do that for him. In fact it's easy for him to tell people what to do, and he is so specialized about that. "You should eat first before curing your wounds, you need some energy. It will be a bit painful." Wow, and why does he care about the pain I might feel? I thought this is called a last supper. I sighed and did not say anything and took the food since I was already shaking from hunger. I want to have something in my stomach and this is the time that I will give the satisfaction it needs.I did not talk about anything and silently ate the food he gave me. Well, if this has some
I don't know what to do, his lips were still in mine but one thing I realized, he is not moving it. I don't mean that he needs to do that since we are now kissing each other but it's just odd. I never felt this way before and I don't know what to do in this situation. And I don't even want what is happening now. It's like giving myself to the demon who will make my life even worse than before.I am still breathing in an abnormal way. He is still on top of me, with our lips meeting each other. I can't breathe properly. He is so heavy.I opened my eyes and then saw that he was closing his. I felt the temperature rising and it was not from me but him. I frowned and tried to push him but what surprised me was when I felt a sticky wet in his clothes. It was from his hips, I tried to move it and look at my hands but my eyes widened when I saw a red stain. I-Is this a b-blood?He is not moving, did he die? While kissing me, seriously? Does he really want to traumatize me even with his death?
It's been 20 minutes since I got done cleaning him. I also put a gauge in his stomach so the bleeding will stop for a while. I also changed his clothes since it was full of blood and I can't bear seeing a person with me in that kind of look. It will creep me to death. For now, I will just wait for him to wake up so he can take me out of here.I stood up from the couch in front of where he was lying down and walked towards the windows. I tried to take a look outside and found out that it's still raining. All I can see is plants, trees and green things. Am I in the middle of a forest? Since this is his secret place, it might be somewhere that is hard to find. If I am not in this situation, I might find this place so relaxing and I might decide to be here for a long time since it can clear my mind from many thoughts but just by thinking that this place is owned by a devil. I just can't change the fact that this place is haunted.I saw the door not far from the window and walked towards
"You really do."I did not know what to do when he leaned down on me. Since he was so tall, he needed to bend his back to reach my face.What is he trying to do? Will he kiss me? Will I just let myself be kissed by this devil? I need to do something. But I can't move my feet, I can't do anything to stop him.His face is now just an inch from me and I can feel his breath. His lips went near my ears which made me tickle. "Let's just continue this and start cleaning my wound again. It's hurting," he said and that made me come back to reality. I quickly get off of him while still holding the towel. I was about to run outside when I heard him groan in pain. I want to go away from him but seeing him right now makes me pity his condition. I stomped my feet on the ground and helped him stand up since he fell from the floor the moment I averted my body from him. I helped him back to the couch and gave him the porridge I made. He was closing his eyes. "Eat first." I told him. Despite his teasin
"Stop imagining things," Nix said. Alyana gave him a frown. It's been 30 minutes since they last talked to each other, and they were already in the living area watching movies. After she asked the question a while ago, Nix just left her standing there."You are creepy," she said to Nix."What?""You are suddenly saying something there, it's creepy." Alyana took the blanket to cover herself."Are you saying your boss is creepy?" Nix asked, making Alyana immediately look at him."No sir," she quickly said and focused herself on what they were watching. She then heard Nix sighed beside her so she took a glance at him.'Is he sleepy? Or he just really had many problems in life?'' she thought."Do you like what you are seeing?" Nix asked her, she didn't realize that she's already staring at his face. "No sir," she said, however, it made Nix glare at her. How dare she say that to her boss. "Really?" Nix asked and slowly went near her. She closes her eyes, and shakes her head."No sir."Ni
"I already told you, Pebble is just my friend." A man who was in a tuxedo said while entering the office. He looked at the two people inside the room and smiled at them before putting the phone beside his ear again. "I will just call you later baby, don't forget to wear the dress I bought you for tonight. Yes, yes I will surely be early so be prepared," he added while grinning."Stop talking about your women when you are already in my office." Nix straightly said."Whoa, whoa, you are so hot headed. What happened to you bro? I just got back from seeing those ugly faces and you will welcome me with that attitude? How could you?" Zach, who had just entered the room, said while putting down the suitcase he was holding. "The files." Nix lends his hand to him, waiting for something nice he could give. Zach smirked at him and took something in the case, then gave him the papers he was asking. Zach's attention diverted to the girl who was busy scanning some papers and poked her using the pe
"He hasn't woken up yet? Is what happened to him really that horrible that he hasn't woken up until now?" Jake inquired as they entered the room where the man they had discovered in the woods the day before lay. It's also been two days since they discovered this man unconscious, and he hasn't awoken yet. His wounds have healed, and he is recovering slowly."It seems that the bed is too soft so he just chose to sleep for a long time rather than answer the questions we prepared for him." Hunter was still joking while reading a book. He grinned and looked at everyone in the room. Their boss' three daughters are complete. Steel is also there, taking a glimpse at Ivory when he has the opportunity.'Tsk. It's really obvious if this man likes a woman, but he is so afraid to face Ivy's blow. Maybe, Ivy doesn't want that kind of man like him so until now she's still refusing his love. He is strong outside however, he's really a coward. If I were a woman I wouldn't even want to be with him too,
Andrius smirked as he saw his daughters return from their search for their belongings. He realizes they are perplexed by what he is doing, but he believes it will benefit his girls in the future. He had considered taking them to the location they desired while they were still in his office, but after hearing the plan, he decided a thing that he was the only one who knew and that was to put them to the test.Vanessa sat next to him on a rock, breathless and barely able to communicate due to exhaustion. Next to her are Andrius' other two daughters, whose expressions now demand an explanation."We knew it, but why did you keep it hidden?" Ashleigh said to Andrius, who chuckled when he heard it."Dear daughters," he said, motioning them to sit on the grass first, which they did. "I am curious to see if you will return once you realize I am the one who is behind it, but I notice you still tried to find it on your own," Andrius explained. Despite their confusion, the triplets pay attention
"Try to hurt him more and I will rip your head out of your body." Hunter, even though he is in pain, still heard what Ashleigh said. Her eyes glaring at the man holding Hunter's neck. "Really? You will do that?" The tension between all of them began to rise more as he tightened it, causing Hunter to spit some blood on his mouth. "S-Stop…" he can't even speak properly, his eyes began to wet and his vision was now a bit blurry. "I-I can't b-breathe!" He tried to yell but it seemed like his voice was now out of his control. Demon, it's the true demon, he thought. He is now under the strength of a ruthless demon in the place."Your fear, ugh. I can feel it, I know you are born for me. Your soul, I want it mine. You are making me stronger, I think I need to thank you for that."One thing he is not sure about is when he saw his teeth turning into an odd one. The structure of his face started changing too. That was the thing that most terrified Hunter more. One more tight grip, he can b
I hope they will find Echo's mother.My attention got diverted when I heard a knock from the door. It quickly opened and there I saw my sisters faces, along with Steel and Hunter, but I am confused why Dominus isn't with them, also as Jake but that person can sometimes be busy."Are you feeling well? Dr. Nigel already told us what the problem is with you too." Ashleigh asked me once they went inside, she sat beside me while looking at Echo. "I am just fine. I want to go with you on finding his mother but Dr. Nigel told me not to. He has only 2 days and the poison will definitely take his life." She was nodding her head when she took my hand and held it. I saw a small hole in it, maybe it's from the needle they used when she got taken some blood from her body to give to me. "Don't worry, we will do our best to find her. All you need to do now is to rest and be safe. Also, follow all what Nigel will tell you. It's for your own good, understand?" I chuckled because of it. She is now a
"He woke up earlier and he was looking for you, especially his mother but it didn't last for five minutes and he slept again. There is something we need to take out of his skin. It needs an operation, but we can't do that here. We need his parents to take responsibility." Dr. Nigel said to me once I reached the medical department, Dominus guided me to one of the rooms where Echo was admitted, after that he left the room, saying that he will look for Hunter. I just let him though, I don't have a reason not to.Echo is still unconscious, I don't know what's happening to him and needs Dr. Nigel's explanation."And I found out this." He showed me the result of something, then there I saw my name. Why is my name here? I didn't do any tests for me, I can't remember it."What does this mean?" I asked, confused by what he was trying to say to me about the results. He sighed before telling me the thing I didn't expect."Your blood contains a poison, same as Echo but he is more likely to lead a
It's been a few hours since we arrived at this location, and we've done everything we can to make the females feel at ease. All of them need to be tested first before letting them go, Sir Andrius told us that those who don't have families will be given a shelter.I adore him that much. The help doesn't end there. He still cares for the women and he wants them to somehow forget what happened to them. I also want that to happen. I am worried about their situation, I already experienced things similar to them. The time when I thought there would never be sunlight to light my world again, but here I am.I saw the triplets together with Jake and Steel, contacting those people who might help us. I can't help but to be glad looking at them, just by observing what they are doing. I am already getting satisfied with the actions. They are true leaders.I sighed and turned my gaze at Hunter. He was already tired that Dr. Malea told him to sleep for a while. I saw how she proudly looked at her s
An unfamiliar voice asked behind us. I decided not to turn around as I can feel a threat in their presence. It was that person, or maybe them whom I felt earlier. And I am sure they are like me. "Oh, the three guards. We saw each other again." Vanessa said in response to them. Did they know those guys? How and where? Maybe because they are part of this organization, their opponent. But do they know their real identity?"It's you." One of them spoke, he had a deep voice compared to the one who asked first. "I won't forget what you did to us the first time we met each other. However, it's your lucky day since we aren't here to fight any Dark Phoenix but we will promise to make you pay for what you have done when we see each other again." He continued, I kept my back to them. If I show my face, will they know or recognize me? I guess not but I need to be sure. I know there are many people hunting me now. They need to take me back to that place. But I don't want that to happen, so I need
