"Who are you?" I asked when I saw what he did.He smirked once again and sat in the grass. Is he not going to take me or hurt me? And why am I asking myself like that? I shook my head and stood up, do I need to run now? I think he is giving me the time to run for my life. "Jacobe." He replied.Jacobe?He looked at me and gave me a smirk again. "Giovanni's cousin." My eyes widened when I heard that from him. His cousin? I never heard about that, I never heard about his relatives yet so I don't know that he has a cousin. And he is in front of me now. I am not sure if this guy is telling the truth but who knows who. However, I still need to be careful around him."Do you know where is he? I was waiting for him here for 5 hours. I can't go inside the mansion since the security hasn't recognized me yet," he said. He then looked at me from head to toe as if he was judging my whole existence. "And who are you? Given the fact that you are here with him, I think you are such a special girl. Ar
Jacobe is not here anymore, I really don't know what it is about but the only thing I heard from them is that Giovanni needs to go to his father to talk about some important matters.I actually want to ask but I can't with family matters."Anything you want to say?" Giovanni asked me while I was sitting next to him in the living room. He was reading the magazine that was on the table earlier while sipping a cup of coffee. I bit my lips. I guess this is my chance to ask him."What is it Jacobe told you?" I asked. I know, I need to go straight to the point. He puts down his coffee along with the magazine and crosses his arms."He wants me to go to my father. We need to sort out things and you are coming with me," he said and then faced me, looking me in the eyes. I frowned at him, why should I go with him when he was meeting his father? I know how dangerous a man he is and I don't want to interrupt with their matter. I would rather stay here and enjoy a peaceful day.I did not realize
"Ivory! Wait for me!" Steel ran towards her, not thinking about what she said earlier. He just wants to take her out of that place, no one can ever save them both but themselves. Ivory keeps on walking even though she can't feel her whole body, can't even walk properly because of her bruises. She ignores his call, and doesn't want to waste time on finding Dominus. "I know where he is, let's take him out together," the moment she heard that from him, she stopped walking and turned her body around a bit to see if he was serious about what he was saying. At first, she trusted him again. She knows he is telling the truth, his eyes can't lie. She can clearly read him at that time."Not this time, Steel. Where is he." It's not a question but a command to him to say where Dominus is now. Steel stares at her first, then sighed afterwards, he needs to tell her where he is right now so she would trust him again to take her out."Dungeon," he said. Ivory's eyes narrowed towards him, and then mad
They are all prepared, and all they have to do now is wait for Kanus, who is still speaking with the boss, to approach the private plane."I am not supposed to feel this way, but I am kinda happy because of this mission as I got out of that training ground," Hunter said, however he sighed when he realized that what he went into was more dangerous than the training he needed to face inside the base. "Why are you all so silent?" He then asked them, they have been waiting for about 30 minutes beside the private plane they will use but the people around him seem mute that he didn't hear them speak nor utter a word yet."Maybe they are using the device and talking inside their heads, what do you think?" Dominus asked. Hunter gazed at them first and shook his head in disapproval. He had just seen their faces, Ashleigh with headphones on, Ivory with her eyes closed, Vanessa admiring her nails, and Steel, the greatest thief of all time, stealing a glimpse at Ivory, and he was thinking that hi
Why am I feeling like this?Being in his arms doesn't scare me that much, instead I feel comfortable."I am sorry," he said. I bit my lips, I don't know what to say. And why is he even hugging me? My senses went back when I realized our position, especially my hand that was hugging him back. What am I even thinking? I got caught in the act, I think."You know we already forgiven you." I told him, trying to talk calmly even though my heart was racing inside me.He smiled. "Why are you blushing?" He asked. And why is he asking about that?"I am not." I glared at him, I know he is just teasing me. I can feel my cheeks burning but not in hell I will tell myself he did make me blush."Yes, you are." He told me before messing my hair with a smile. "Thank you for accepting me. You are cute." What the heck is he saying? After that he went outside without even waiting for me, the hell.I tried to calm myself by breathing in and out.What did he just say? Cute? I am not a kid!I was about to fo
I've waited for them, until they get back here. I still need to look for this lady, we can't risk losing her since I know she has some information that can help us find the people who are killing students here.In our 2 days in this school, I have learned that those students who got killed didn't even have a friend, meaning there is no one who can protect them from any harm. However, why do they need to kill those people? It's not that there is something they can take away from them, some of the students who have been killed don't have any wealth and just a mere student who is trying to graduate. Apart from that, those students are also taking scholarships in this school. There is a clue, but we don't know who is the next target. What we need to do now is to find the list of those students, and one of the people falling for that thing is this lady. I heard that Darien is her name. Something is bothering me about her, she has a supernatural strength and she is using it whenever she fee
I took a deep breath while sitting here in the dark room. I can't open even a single light because they might find me, luckily I can use my senses to see a little bit here.'You still there?' Ashleigh asked me. If it's not because of her, maybe they already caught me. She told me where to go, a safe place where I can be. Earlier when Ivory followed those three guys, it didn't take a minimum when four people came out. I told Vanessa and Steel that I will follow them and they told me to go and do what I need to do. But something happened, they found out I had been following them even though I tried my best to hide my presence, I didn't still know why they saw me. I am sure I didn't let them.'Yes, are they still looking for me?' I asked her back. I waited for her response, but I heard a noise from the outside. Exactly where I am. My heart jumped in nervousness when I heard footsteps. Are they here? I tried to hold my breath so they would not hear my heavy breaths. I have just contacted
"Who is that?!" Darien's hands were trembling, luckily Neil held her hands or she would fall from her knees. I remained silent and wondering where we should go.'On your left, go to the second room and then wait for my signal. You should all go now, they are already there.' I heard Ashleigh. "Let's go here, be careful." I told them. Neil tried to support Darien who is now crying because of nervousness, she is anxious about what will happen. All the students were aware of the 12 sinners, but I think not all of them saw their true appearance. I guided them to the second room where Ashleigh instructed me to go. It was so dark here, why does she keep on telling me to go to the dark places?'I think they can't see through the dark. Their eyes were a bit weird.' It was like she read my mind, she answered my question about it. "Let's stay here, don't make any noises." I told them. Neil nodded his hand while holding Darien's shoulders. She still keeps on crying but she is trying to cover he
"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
