"We already bring them to the quarter and making them spill the information but it seems like they are trained to die than to tell," I can sense the frustration in his voice, my brows furrowed as I look at the sea again in front of his mansion. The guards are surrounding the area, and it was tripled since it's too dangerous to let our guards down.

"Leave us alone," I ordered my men, I then removed the gloves on my hand as I stare at him-- helplessly lying on the ground, unable to move. I croaked my neck to the side as I scan his body his shirt was full of bloodstains from his wounds. I crinkled my nose as I can smell the dried blood and fresh blood from him."Livv Timothy Markovs," Saying his name out loud, I then reach for the dagger place on the suitcase above the table, playing it with my finger. "You had no idea, do you?" I asked, mocking and laugh a little as I look at the dagger in my hand."You have to be careful who to trust," I said, the side of his lips tugs upward as he laughs mocking my question, I look at him as he cough in blood, raise his gaze to me and look me directly in the eyes."Funny to say that you did trust me too- once, Mina," he said, coughing between every word.

"Hold him," I can hear the voices around me, I close my eyes as the blindfold was lifted off my face, trying to get used to the light I blink my eyes a few times and slowly opened it after. I saw the man who drags me far from Mina last week. I clearly remember how it happened, how she smiled at me when she stabs me, on how she furiously screamed in anger holding a gun-- she was gone, the Mina I once love-- I don't clearly remember how or what happened but all I know is I killed her child and lied to her and as Henry secretly protected all of them it was their plan--- I clenched my fist, as I tried to escape off this chain in my wrists. The man turned my chair to face the monitor I look around and see nothing but white walls and heavily tinted glass, and I was just there watching what was happening. "What's happening?"

I groaned annoyingly as I look at my reflection in the mirror, I heard my sister chuckled, I saw her reflection on the mirror looking lovely on her silk knee-length slit red gown. She shakes her head as she walks near me still smiling. "What?" I ask her, she smiled and brings both of her hands to my cheeks, caressing them while looking intently into my eyes. "I do adore you, Mina, and thank you for fighting for us," She sincerely said, I smiled and bring my hands to her shoulders stroking them gently and pat her back. "Of course, I would do that without blinking an eye I promise to keep you both safe," I whispered and hug her. I close my eyes as I remember everything, how I sacrificed things, made bad choices, and selfish decisions just to keep them safe. I sigh to avoid tearing up and ruin my makeup.

I took the gun out of my holster and pulled the barrel of the gun before walking near him, He raises his head, he's guardless and defenseless with his eyes blindfolded.I walk near him and stop in front of him, I then removed the blindfold he blinks his eyes multiple times as he opened his mouth. "Where am I?" He asks me."Somewhere," I answered him. I then look at him intently croaking my neck to the side as I was staring at him. I just stood there not saying anything, a gun in my hand and him sitting in front of me not saying anything."You know, Livv," I trailed off, I then raise the gun looking at it while I ran my finger in its body I then look at him.

I close my eyes as I saw the report. I knew this would happen, how Mina? I swallowed hard as I open my eyes again staring at the piece of paper I was holding, I had a hint but didn't confront her for it. "Master," I heard my butler called me, I turn my head to him and look at him. I tried to calm myself down and sigh. "What?" I answered, he opens his palm and handed me the phone. "We already removed the tracker," He said, I look at his face seriously. He carefully places the phone on the table. "You can go now," I said, I stare at the phone and slouched on the sofa. I reach for the phone on the table and leaned back on the sofa. Papa was right, she will be the lead to my downfall, I expected it but damn this hurt and I can't seem to do something to her, not even an inch. Why Mina? why do you hate me that much? what makes you hate me that much? I sigh and leaned on the sofa, thinking wh

I wrap my hand around the mug as I feel the warmth of the cup, the soothing type of warmth. I inhaled the aroma of the coffee, taking a small sip of the coffee from the cup."How was it?" I ask Henry, he taps his fingers on the table and glances at me. "He's gone, I can't find him," He said, I hummed and look at the monitor, the signal of his tracker just got lost from our vision, I carefully place the mug at the table and looks at the monitor Henry was looking.Something's not right.I thought, I then look again at the monitor there's a red dot blinking again, my brows furrowed as I look at the monitor. "What's that? why is it blinking again, something is not right Henry," I said and pointed to the red dot that has been blinking for a few seconds now."I'll try to zoom in the location," Henry said, tapping on his keyboar
