Chapter 30 Dream or Not?

2025-03-13 05:09:04(Bright's POV)
The sound of gunfire echoed through the walls, while I sat in the corner of the cell. My knees are pulled to my chest, with my hands clamped over my ears like a little kid. Each shot feels like a punch to my chest. It was so loud it scares me even when I’m already an adult. It drags me back to that night—the night I lost everything.The sound of the bomb still rings fresh in my mind like it just happened yesterday. The blast. The fire. The screams.“Stop,” I muttered under my breath, rocking slightly. “Please, stop.”The faces of my parents before the bomb blasted at them flashed back into my mind. The smile my Dad made as if to tell me that everything's going to be okay. The fear in my Mom’s eyes.“Take care of your sister.”Those were the words she mouthed.My chest tightened as I remembered Sisa. The nightmare I tried so hard to run away from every single day is back in my head again. How she mysteriously disappeared from me without a tr

(Bright’s POV)I stared at Livioski for a moment before finally releasing an amused chuckle. Nobody told me this guy was a good actor. He can definitely fool anyone with his butler-vibe.I scanned my eyes around the place. What the hell is this place anyway?I brushed my hair back using my hand. I’m not sure how we will get here, but I won’t be surprised if this is a dream. I don’t really remember having this kind of place in prison. This place feels like a paradise. "Where's Cole?" I asked half-jokingly.I don’t even know why he’s the first person I’d look for in such a strange place. I’m not really expecting an answer because I’m a hundred percent sure this is a dream. But to my surprise, Livioski straightened his posture and said, "Follow me."I blinked. "Wait, seriously?"My brows furrowed slightly. Wait… He’s actually here? I thought…I was just fucking around. The heck?He turned his back at me, gesturing for me to walk with him. I hesitated for

(Bright’s POV)My face heated up as I replayed Cole’s question in my head. He’s smirking at me like he knows exactly what I’m thinking, and it’s infuriating. How could he ask me that kind of question?This idiot must be enjoying this a lot.I cleared my throat, determined to change the subject.“So... if this isn’t a dream, where are we?” I asked, changing the subject.I was trying to sound casual like I didn't just turn into a tomato for a moment. Honestly, I think I already know the answer, but I’m still trying to convince myself that nothing of this is real. I just can’t get enough of the fact that I am here standing in front of Cole in a paradise-like place. And it only means one thing! I am his hostage on this lone island.Cole leaned back in his chair, his smirk softening into something almost lazy. It’s like he’s getting tired of me asking him the same stupid question. Well, what am I supposed to do? “I already told you. You’re in my territory.”I

(Bright’s POV)I wanted to ask her more questions, but then she suddenly slammed the door right into my face.What the…That was intentional.I was just about to protest when I felt presence behind me. I turned to look behind me, and my lips parted when I saw a bunch of people inside. They look like they’ve been waiting for me.There are at least five of them. Two women are carrying garment bags, a gay man with a case full of makeup, and a couple more holding accessories and shoes.I frowned at their funny looking faces.They look like they’ve stepped straight out of a fashion magazine, and they are looking at me like predators. I don’t like the way they’re looking at me from head to toe, like they’re not seeing me as a person, but a doll they could dress up whatever they like. I have to be honest. It instantly puts me on edge.I didn’t know makeup could scare the shit out of me.“Uhmm… Hello?” I awkwardly said, waving my hand a little. I’m not su

(Bright’s POV)Being served like a princess wasn’t exactly how I pictured being abducted feels like. The first thing that came to my mind as soon as I found out that a notorious serial killer took me with him—after causing a ruckus inside the maximum security prison where he’s supposed to stay forever—is that I’m going to die in his freaking hands.Cole is unpredictable. I’m trying to use all possible psychology that could explain how he behaves a certain way, but I just don’t understand why he does things he does.Like right now…I bet he spent a lot of money paying these people who made me look like I was born to live as a royalty.I glanced at my reflection in the mirror.“This suit must have cost a fortune,” I mumbled to myself.

(Bright’s POV)The car door clicked shut behind me as I stepped out. I could hear the sound of my shoes crunching lightly on the gravel as I stood up to look at what's in front of me.I stared up at the massive mansion in front of us. This also feels surreal.Just like Cole’s mansion, this feels like something that came out straight from the magazine. It's modern, sleek, and almost intimidating with its giant glass windows that stretch up like walls.From here, I can see the ocean glittering in the distance. Cool. It's a beach house. I bet they always get their daily dose of vitamin D here.I tend to forget sometimes that this is just a small island. Not that small. But to have all these places in just one island? Yeah.

(Bright’s POV)I blinked at them.Wait… What did he say? I’m not sure I heard him right. “Fiancée?” I repeated his voice inside my head.Cole didn’t even bother to pay me attention to give me some sort of enlightenment. Like what the hell is he talking about? Me? His fiancée? I didn't sign up for that.As much as I wanted to call his attention, his focus is entirely on the two men staring at him like he’s lost his mind.I think they're what we should be more worried about. They don't even have to say a word for me to know that they don't like what he just said to them. They widened their eyes like it’s the most ridiculous thing they’ve heard.*BLAAAGG!*The older man slammed his hand on the table, making me jump. “What nonsense is this, Cole? Have you completely lost your mind?!”Cole looked at him nonchalantly.“I’m not asking for your approval,” he said flatly.Bryan leaned back in his chair, a smirk tugging at his lips. He looked so amused.

(Bright's POV) Understanding the minds of criminals is my job. Sitting in a locked room with a person who's seen a lot of people die before his eyes doesn't bother me anymore. In fact, it never did. I see a maximum security prison as an amusement park. But instead of fun rides and various attractions, the stars of this place are serial killers and their magnificent crimes. Killing is a form of art, and I'm just one of a million people who would fall asleep with their dark confessions like it's some bedtime story. You must be thinking that I'm sick in the head. I get that a lot. "So you're Falaguerra?" I asked while scanning his crime record. He went on a killing spree for five years. He's known as "The Vanisher". Interesting. I lifted my head to look at him. He has beautiful brown eyes, but they looked dead and lifeless. I was told that he voluntarily put himself behind bars after five years of evading the law. I'm quite impressed by how he managed to keep his cool despite t

(Bright's POV) Playing the voice recorder, I can't help but feel frustrated. How will I give this to my client? Looks like that Falaguerra knew I was recording. What a smart trash. I bite my lip when I heard his deep voice in the small device again. I don't know why his voice makes my tummy rumbles. Maybe I'm just hungry. I immediately turned it off and run my fingers through my hair. My eyes landed on an envelope. Inside is the folder I brought all the way here in my apartment. Right. His criminal record. I hurriedly open the wrinkled envelope to grab his record. I scanned the information written on the paper. My forehead creased. Aside from his name, everything is blank. The only thing in his crime record is "The Vanisher" case. I heard that the people he abducted and possibly killed disappeared with no traces at all. They vanished into thin air. That's how he got his alias. They were clean crimes. Just like his personal information. *Ring! Ring!* I glanced at the loud tele

(Bright’s POV)I can't fucking move.He’s pinning me firmly on the bed that all I was able to do was squirm like a worm. I panicked when his hand started to go down my private part.“Don't you think about it, Cole!” I angrily warned.I felt him leaned closer, until his lips brushed the skin on my neck. I whimpered silently as I felt his bulge hitting my ass. I can feel it getting bigger every time it touches me. I’m a guy myself, and believe me when I say that this guy’s dick is larger than average.“Stop it!”He didn't listen.Instead, he continued his way inside my pants until his hands already wrapped around my aroused cock.“You know you like it, little bunny,” he sexily whispered in my ears, while his hand started to slowly stroke my private part. I buried my face in the sheets to prevent myself from making nasty noises.I don't want him to think that I’m enjoying this. And I don't want to admit to myself that I am.When he realized that

(Bright’s POV)I’m not really expecting him to catch me so soon. Was I that obvious? I mean, yeah, being nice to anyone is definitely not something I normally do. It is usually because I need something from you, or I find you cute—which is definitely not the case here—but the point is he can’t know the truth!Ironically, I didn’t know I’d be such a bad liar as a detective. Lying to Cole isn’t exactly easy either.I need to make up something. THINK FAST!“You know what I mean,” I snapped, feeling the heat of my face. I’m running out of excuses to say. “Just… throw me a bone here. Why did you give yourself up?”Cole set his fork down. I uncomfortably shifted at my seat. He’s making me want to regret everything I did since I entered his cell. He looked at me with that same unreadable expression, and for a second, I think he’s actually going to tell me something real.“Because I felt like it,” he said flatly, like killing a series of people was normal for him.
