I enjoy living in fantasy with my imagined companion and escaping reality by hiding behind a mask of a cheerful face, even if I've been harmed. But I'm not going to hide any longer. I have a man at my side who discovers me, cares for me and is always there for me." Mrtyu conveyed her inner enthusiasm for her newly discovered love for Aaron.
"The mirror maze not only mirrors us, but it also reflects our inner us. I realised that the illusion that occurred back there was my genuine, dark, desperate desire. I yearned to be treated well and spoiled by unconditional love. That's what the maze's mirrors reflect. To put it another way, it's a mind-tricking game. "
Mrtyu assumed she had worked out that the inexplicable illusion that had occurred to her was nothing more than a mind game.
She opened the door handle to the exit door from the mirror maze, expecting to see the brilliant afternoon sun, but

"No," both Aaron and Mrtyu shouted in unison.Aaron asked, "Granddad, what are you thinking? We just talked.""We had the moment. (His eyes sparkled with excitement). We kissed, with her approval, not forced."Mr Alex raised his eyebrows and fixed his eyes on his grandson. "You sure?"

With the emergence of Hexa and the death of Host Hook, the outside world was terrific. The locals convinced everyone that Hexa was the murderer blameable for Host Hook's death. The second villa was taken over by policemen with yellow taps, while the locals and students were relocated to the Hotel Bluemoon to refresh and unwind after the panic attacks of death and inexplicable things that occurred in the second villa. But the cops were not convinced by the ghost myth, so they summoned the top detective in their department. "Detective is on the way," the radio on one of the cops’ cars chattered. Mr Alex remained bewildered in front of the villa, as the cops barred him from entering after his grandson. "Mr Alex, don't go after your grandson," the cop whispered in his ears to make him accept the fact, "The killer is still inside." Mr Alex, the charming french beard man, the talk of the entire Ishvakar Academy was sobbing furiously over his failure of prot

Mr Alex didn’t move a muscle; he appeared calm on the surface, but on the inside, he was struggling to overcome his regret over his plans to visit De Morte Villas. He wanted to return to when he had not considered visiting De Morte Villas, and he wished to erase all memories of the dreadful villas.Cherry Hornworts scoured the entire area until he discovered his unhappy pal. He knelt in front of the shattered Mr Alex and whispered in his ear, “What happened?”Both Gilbert and Cherry marched towards the second villa to vent their anger on Mr Alex. But Mr Alex, who was seated on the garden bench, fixed his gaze on the second villa, hoping to get his grandson back.“Alex, we need to talk,” Gilbert called out to Mr Alex.Mr Alex denied it without looking at them. “I am not in the mood to talk.”Cherry knelt before him and clutched his hands. "Alex, I know it’s your grandson. But we need to talk right now.

Mrtyu's face was lit up by the strong ceiling light, and her mind was flashed with her most recent recollection. Her pinched brows reflected her anxious thinking, and an ice hand brushed her hair softly to relieve her stress."Chillax," Hexa said as he put a soft kiss on her forehead and pulled her close to his heart.His words erased the lines on her forehead, and the signs of stress faded. Her breathing became more regular, and her agitated thoughts eventually calmed down. Her fantasy horses galloped freely in Hexa's brilliantly constructed land of illusions.In her lengthy voyage, the pungent aroma of coal and oil, the wobbly cradle of the steamy engine, and the embrace of wintry air were her quick sleeping pills. The entire environment charmed her to be a prisoner of slumber till a distant chattering of men woke her up.Mrtyu tried to open her eyes, but her eyelids were heavy enough to cause her to wake up, so her sensory organs were kept active

Mrtyu felt as though she was laying on something hard, and her hands groped for the surface to figure out what it was. Her searching hands were eventually met with a pale and freezing embrace.She took a deep breath and exhaled with relief, “Aaron” and a comforting smile appeared on her lips and she asked, “Where am I?”“Home,” a sizzling angelic male voice replied her, and she nodded her head to resume her slumber. After a few seconds of analysing ran in her brain, she jolted out of the bed suddenly to stick to the wall in panic.“Wh- who are you? What are you doing in my room?” Mrtyu asked the man on the bed with a mask on his face after looking around the room, “Where am I?”“This (he extended his right arm to show the room) ‘us’ room. I hope you know me.” Hexa replied with a simmering grin on his lips with his mask on his face.Mrtyu gulped to look at him for a

"You feel what?" the shadow Aaron asked, and laughed by holding his stomach. "Ron, I can’t help laughing, man. This is the best joke you ever did.""She made me feel in love, and she reciprocated my feelings of love. I can sense the warmth." Aaron reflected on his contact with Mrtyu in the mirror maze."Enough of your dump assumptions," Aaron yelled angrily at the shadow. Aaron rolled over to the ground and found a mysterious cloud formation over him. "What is that?"When he saw the sharp daggers above him, Aaron rotated his body to face the ceiling and gasped. He tried to get away from that spot, but the dagger draped over him pierced his leg."Your private dagger clouds," the shadow exclaimed, laughing maniacally, "why hadn't I thought of it before when I was thinking of tormenting you?"Aaron moaned in agony. He rose to his feet and pulled his knife, which he tossed over the shadow. "Go away," Aar

The sputtering and crackling of firewood filled the entire room for three troubled men. They keep silent while they consider how to deal with the crisis they went into with wide eyes.“What are we going to do, Alex?” Cherry lamented as he dug the embers in the fireplace.Gilbert posted his next question to Mr Alex, as he was the mastermind behind everything. “Are we going to stay inside and wait for Liroza to solve the mystery we buried so long ago, or are we going to defend ourselves? Alex?”Cherry got from his position in front of the fireplace and walked to the door when the stillness was broken by a knock on the door. A young teen kid, with the academy’s ID card around his waist, stood at the entrance with a bag full of various items.“What’s up, kiddo?” Cherry enquired.“Mr Alex didn’t have his dinner. So I came here to deliver his dinner.” Before the boy could complete his sent

Back in one of the De Morte villas, Hexa, after enjoying enough of watching Aaron in tears and making his bow and beg for the life of his love, Mrtyu’s tears seized all his entertainment.Hexa took his hands off Mrtyu and moved closer to her. He titled his head only to observe her cry. He stated, "I won’t wait for these years, just to see your tears, Bella.""My legs!" Mrtyu held her leg and screamed in pain. The tears in the eyes of Mrtyu remind Hexa of his Bella. It gave him tremendous pain in his unbeaten heart, which was stabbed with millions of sharp daggers.Hexa looked at her for a while, and then cast his anger on the window glasses, and it shattered into pieces. "I hate your tears ever.""Whose tears will amuse you, then?" Mrtyu blubbered with anger soaked words."I am getting enough amusement from your maze-mate." "My maze-mate," Hexa said in her ears, and Mrtyu was perplexed as to ho

After a few minutes of digesting Hexa’s anger, Mrtyu wiped all her tears and told to Aaron hoping he could hear her, “Ron, I am sorry; I should have listened to your warnings. I think I’ve messed up. Yet I am not letting my guards down.”Mrtyu ran into the washroom to refresh her. She came out with wrapping and fit herself into the things which Hexa offered her as quickly as possible. After she was done, she rushed to open the door. But before she could pull the door’s handle, the door opened automatically for her.She found Hexa standing by the door waiting for her. He wore a blue tuxedo with a white shirt matching his outfit with Mrtyu. He romantically offered his arms to Mrtyu to get hold of; she stood like a statue on seeing with open arms.“Obsessing with me is quite natural,” Hexa told her with self-esteem. Mrtyu inhaled some air to fill her lungs that were out of breath and she f

Hexa offered her freshly tailored blue night ball gown with matching jewels. Mrtyu looked with wide eyes yet was not surprised with his offerings. He noticed the not-so-surprised look on her face and he asked her, “Don’t you like the colour? I can customize it for you. Tell me what do you prefer?”Mrtyu noticed his change in tone and temper. She processed in her mind quickly and figured out that Hexa was good at tailoring in female dresses. She tried to make a cool conversation with the ghost of the designer rather dreadful dead merchant. “The colour, ahem, is quite dull and I want it brighter.”“Brighter? How about lavender or purple? (He waved his hand to change the colour of the dress) which one, pick it?” Hexa looked at her face with curious eyes.“What do I do now?” she thought with inhaling. Her silence gave Hexa rather peculiar ideas.Within a second, Hexa

Aaron processed her words and figured out the way to exit. He instructed her, "Then be his guest and end all this, Mrt. I can’t die just watching you like this or hearing your voice.”Aaron continued, “Earlier that day, we both had bigger plans for our future together. Mrt, I want you. I want you to fill my life. I want us to contribute to our family’s lineage. I want us to grow older together.” Aaron convinced her to be the guest of Hexa.Mrtyu imagined building a palace with bricks of love earlier and now after hearing his declarations of his plans that includes her, she built the roof with trust. She felt happy inside that she is finally getting a family to take care of despite being her orphan life.Yet, she asked with a little shock, "Guest of a Ghost?""Fine, I will go," Mrtyu said, with a deep exhale, and dropped herself on the ground, leaning against the wall.

“Well, detective, it’s complicated to tell exactly in words. I try to explain to you with medical terms. He is suffering from type three panic attack,” the doctor told her while holding his stethoscope in his hands.“I don’t get it, doctor. What is type three and how severe it is?” Liroza asked impatiently while Dan was approaching her.“He had a panic attack which seized him neurotically. And he has fractures in his lumbar spine section and his neck collar bone is damaged. So he is not in the position to give you the statement of what exactly happened to him last night.”“So he is alive, then.” Liroza knitted her eyebrows and expected a positive response from the doctor.“Yet, as for now, we can’t assure you anything of his survival level after his damages.”“What do you think of (sniffed) his condition? Who or how?”

After a few minutes of trying to reach her, he felt soreness in his throat. He lay on the ground and recalled the happy moments he had with her and moaned, "Mrtyu."Mrtyu was preoccupied with the happiest hours she had ever spent with Aaron in her life and moaned about how her life was turned upside down in a fraction of a second. She heard his voice and responded to him, "Ron?"When Aaron heard her voice echoing in the darkroom, Aaron sat up and tried to focus. "Mrtyu?"Mrtyu heard the voice of Aaron, yet thought that she had been hallucinating his voice in her mind. She sighed, "I wish I could hear you, Aaron.""Mrt, you are hearing me. You are not hallucinating." Aaron spoke in a calm tone."Aaron, is that you?" The tears rolled from her eyes in ecstasy at hearing his voice."Yes, I am, but are you crying right now?" Aaron asked her in a sad tone."What?" she asked and later realised that Hexa blew her eyes to jinx her fallen tears into the shape of sharp daggers over her head of A

Bella rescuedBack inside the room, Hexa watched her jump through the window and exhaled, saying, "Te compadezco.” (I pity you) and turning his head towards the bed. He burst into the room and threw Mrtyu into the bed.Mrtyu opened her eyes and found she was in the middle of some shattered sparkle. "This is what the place is like once the person is dead."She sat on the bed and was shocked to find Hexa in front of her. "Why are you here, too? Oh, yeah, I am dead, you are dead, and so I can see you."Hexa leaned over the wall and looked at her with his title head, "Encantado de conocerte de Nuevo viva."Mrtyu turned her face to her side and told herself, in a lower voice with smacked lips, "I wish I could use a language translator device."As Hexa could hear her, he translated for her, "Nice to meet you again, ALIVE." He emphasised the word "alive" to make her realise that she wasn’t dead yet.Mrtyu knitted her brows, "Again? Am I Still Alive? So I am not dead."She grunted, punching t

The cold moon rays deeply spread across the rooms of the Hotel Bluemoon. Liroza stood by the window, gazing over the fountain in the De Morte villas. Edan was sleeping on the bed when he woke suddenly. He touched his side to cuddle with Liroza when she was not found in their bed; Edan opened his eyes and searched for her.Edan found relief in finding her near the window. Liroza stood dazzling in the transparent cloth that hardly covered her naked body. Her beauty has been enhanced by the moon rays that sent lustful signals to Edan’s mind.Edan hopped from the bed and tottered over her to embrace her from behind. He twisted her blonde hair to the left, breathed her scent, and bit her earlobe to grab her attention to respond to him. He lowered his lips towards the crook of her neck with his flaming kisses.Her transparent fabric around her body appeared to be a disturbance to exhibit his hunger for her. His hand pulled the barrier of transparen
HEXA : MERCHANT OF DEMISE Chapter 33 - I pity you
The clock ticked half past midnight. The window was left open and the howling wind made the window screen move. A panting voice echoed around the room from an old man lying on his bed with disturbed sleep.He had a vision of a ferocious man with a big hammer hiding behind his back, standing behind a stoned man who was fuzzily rested on his antique red oxblood chesterfield wingback chair before the fireplace.The old man could see the wine bottle on the side table; the person was coping with his grief while the man with the hammer was spraying salt on the wounded heart of the coping man through his sinful words.Within a fraction of a second, the man with a hammer hit the man who was seated on his chesterfield chair hard. The blood of the dying man was splashed all over the walls, and the luxurious Saxony carpet was drenched in a pool of blood that flowed from the broken skull of the dying man.Like a ravening monster, his thirst for wanting

"Signorina (miss), the sun is shining brightly today; the master would kill me if you got browned." A young maid begged her lady to stay inside the walls to avoid the scorching sun."Then get murdered," says the young, gorgeous, emerald-eyed lady. "Sweltering and sweating will not deter me from going." With a singing tone, she said."Where to now, Signorina?" murmured the maid girl, concerned about her lady's wicked behaviour.The emerald-eyed girl hopped in joy, and she pulled the maid girl to whisper in her ear, with sparkles in her eyes, "Al mondo esterno" (To the outside world).She giggled and hopped to the sky-scraping walls after saying those words. Her maid kept on calling her, "Signorina, signorina-""Stop calling me Signorina," she told her without looking in her direction, busy pulling the descending climbers over the walls.The maid girl told her, with much hesitation, "I am not allowed to say your name.""Once we are in t
