“Everyone, here’s the plan… I have already copied the full blueprint of the warehouse. According to this, it has two floors and most probably, Everly and Mary were locked on the second floor, specifically in this room right here.” David pointed out the blueprint.Hans, Jonathan, and Director Jackson listened intently. Manager Kim was left in the city since this mission is very dangerous. And if worst comes to worst, Manager Kim can call backups.Manager Kim refused at first but after several persuasions, she finally backed down and left the men to do the dangerous job.As of this moment, they are currently in a black van and they are parked a few blocks away from the abandoned building. After they decoded the address left by Everly, David managed to get footage of where Everly was dragged inside a car, unconscious.From there, David took the plate number of the car, and finally, they found the car’s location. It’s already nighttime when they arrived at the location and it’s far from t
In just a matter of moments, there’s a heated atmosphere between Tyrone and Louisse. Tyrone was trying to persuade Louisse to stop while Louisse was stubbornly refusing to put the gun down.“Tyrone, don’t tempt me to pull the trigger… you know that I’m not the type of person who bluffs.”As Tyrone observed the woman’s cold and sadistic gaze filled with madness for revenge and as he heard this sentence, all of Tyrone’s calm rationality vanished at that moment.Without thinking, he immediately approached her and tried to grab the gun from her. Louisse who was suddenly taken aback struggled with all her might.“Louisse!… Let go of it already! Let go!” Tyrone said as he struggled. He was trying his best to snatch the gun without anyone getting hurt. He knows that with one wrong move, Louisse might accidentally pull the trigger.Louisse shouted to Tyrone as her voice almost broke, “You can’t stop me, Tyrone!… So you let go of it!”The fight lasted for minutes and without any warning, there
Those words left by Hans broke Louisse. It stabbed her heart deeply. Louisse tightly clenched her teeth, while her sharp sword-like gaze fiercely shot towards Everly.“It’s because of her, isn’t it?! If not for her, you wouldn’t be like this Hans! If not because of her you won’t treat me like this!… You are bewitched by this freak Hans, wake up!”Hans calmly replied, however, there’s a coldness in his eyes, “Even if there’s no Everly in this world, I wouldn’t become yours, Louisse! No matter where, what, and when, I won’t be able to love you like how you wished it to be.”Louisse’s Hans ruthlessly tightened the grip on the gun, with her fair white jade fingertips, she was so close to pulling the trigger. But, she thought of something that will make Hans dislike her.“Hahahaha” she maddening laughed. Everyone was confused as to why Louisse suddenly laughed. There’s nothing funny about their situation. And the way she laughed, it’s like there is something bad that’s going to happen.“I
“Louisse! What are you doing?!… Drop the gun, now!” Hans shouted in shock when Louisse pointed the gun at Everly.Louisse smiled wickedly at them, “Who are you to order me around Hans?!.. Let’s just say that if I can’t have you, then no one else will! I will make sure of that!”Louisse noticed that Jonathan was about to move towards Mary which made her smirk, “Where do you think you are going, Jonathan?… Oh, to rescue your little pregnant girlfriend?”She laughed sarcastically, “Oh, do you think that I can’t do anything to her since I’m left all alone here?!… You are wrong!… You are definitely wrong!” she raised her hand which showed a remote on it with just one button.“See this?” Louisse looked at their anxious faces, her eyes then landed on Everly, “Everly, how about we do a trade again?”Everly didn’t reply while Hans shouted, “Don’t listen to her Everly!… She’s already being delusional! Don’t agree to whatever she was going to say!”Director Jackson was also getting anxious! “Eve
Louisse was smiling from ear to ear as she noticed this scene in front of her. Finally, she would be able to get rid of Everly. After this, there will be no Everly that existed in this world. She will be gone forever! And Hans would be hers in no time.She had already released Everly’s one hand from being tied. Even if that’s the case, Everly still didn’t try to free herself up or fight with Louisse. No matter what, Louisse was still holding that button and she might accidentally press it.She can’t afford to risk Mary’s life just to save hers. And truth be told, she only has a week left before her deal with the Moon Goddess ends. She would still vanish in this world because the pendant on her necklace didn’t go back to its original color.The Moon Goddess told her that she would that her mission was a success if the pendant changed back to its normal color. If it doesn’t, that means she failed.She didn’t know why it didn’t change. She had already Hans with her and he had already pro
As soon as the ambulance car arrived at People’s Hospital, Jonathan together with Everly immediately rushed the unconscious Hans towards the ICU. Everly was still crying as she followed him.When they reached the ICU, Jonathan went inside together with some of their fellow doctors and nurses. Everly was stopped at the entrance because it’s for medical personnel only. No matter how much she begged to let her inside, protocols are to be followed strictly.Left with no choice, she waited outside alone. Manager Kim accompanied Mary for a thorough check-up. She arrived together with the ambulance and proposed to stay with Mary for the time being. Aside from Hans, Mary needs to be thoroughly checked.Now that Jonathan was occupied with Hans, they still can’t neglect Mary’s condition. That’s why everything must be checked for them to know whether the baby was in good condition, as well as her.Director Jackson o the other hand was left on the scene to handle the case together with David. Sin
“Is there still no signs of Dr. Lee waking up?” Manager Kim asked worriedly.They are currently at Jonathan’s office in the hospital together with Director Jackson and David. Mary wasn’t with her since she was told to be on complete bed rest for the whole week.Due to the fatigue and stress, she suffered in the kidnapping, her body is currently in a very fragile situation. That’s why she needs to be on complete rest. They had already told Mary’s family about her condition and they were the ones who were with her right now.It has been three days since the incident happened. No signs of improvement are shown in Dr. Lee’s body. Aside from that, they were also deeply worried about Everly.Ever since Dr. Lee went into a coma, she never left his hospital room. No matter how hard they tried to let her rest, she didn’t budge and stubbornly refused. For three days, Manager Kim had never seen her sleep even for a minute or two.She’s not even eating properly and was just constantly there at he
Inside a luxurious hospital room, on the topmost floor of the hospital, it’s where Dr. Lee’s room was located. Everly was inside, holding his hands firmly as she sat near his bed.This had been her routine for the past few days. Except for cleaning herself up, she would always be seen on the small chair near Hans’s bed. There are also times when she would end up sleeping uncomfortably on the side of the hospital bed, ending up with a sore neck in the morning.However, it didn’t bother her one bit. She doesn’t like to stay away from him. She didn’t even manage to visit Mary right after Hans was transferred into this room. She rarely goes out.The nurses and doctors also saw her going out of the room if she would call them concerning Hans’s condition. Aside from that, she locked herself inside.The same scenario was seen by Nurse Kelly this morning. She had volunteered to be Dr. Lee’s attending nurse and made some arrangements for Diane. Dr. Hans also agreed to it since it would make Ev
Today is finally Everly’s most awaited concert. Although the performance will start at 6 pm, people were already lining up in the concert hall since early in the morning. It was an overwhelming crowd.Fans were bringing banners and light sticks to show support for their idol. Even if Everly was just new to the industry, she was highly anticipated by people. Not just because of her elegant and pretty face but also in her music.People loved all the songs she released. Even the debut song she sang during Manager Kim’s wedding, brought her millions of views on every social platform. With that, she was branded as the new pop sensation in the music industry.Backstage, Everly and her team were already starting their preparation. Manager Kim was so busy doing errands. She wanted to make sure that nothing wrong will happen for today’s concert. She doesn’t know why but she doesn’t want anything wrong to happen with her concert.“Iris! We will be starting in a few hours. Are you ready?” Manage
Afternoon came and Hans went ahead to his scheduled appointment. Jonathan messaged him that he was already on his way to the mall that’s why he bid farewell to Everly and went on his way.Everly’s concert hall and the mall are only a few blocks away so Hans managed to arrive there earlier than Jonathan. He waited at one of the coffee shops on the second floor of the mall.It didn’t take long for Jonathan to arrive. he ordered some drinks for himself as well and sat down on the seat in front of Hans. “So, why do you want us to meet here? Are you going to buy something?”Hans nodded, “Yes, I need your help with something.”“What is it?”“I’m planning to do a surprise proposal to Iris at her concert,” Hans said with pride. He had been thinking about it for so long already. There are already a lot of things that had happened between us.They had already been separated by death twice already and a lot of unrealistic things had already transpired in their story. They encountered problems an
For the last 2 weeks, Everly had been constantly busy. Most of the time, she would leave before the sun rises and comes back when the sun was down. Even if she and Hans stayed under the same roof, they rarely spent time together due to her busy schedule.Hans understood it clearly. After all, it’s Everly’s passion and he was fully supporting it. Currently, it’s the weekend and of course, Everly was not at home but instead at the concert hall since she had another rehearsal.Her first ever concert is about to happen in 3 days so her schedule is pretty hectic. She was even busier than Hans who was a doctor.Speaking of Hans, he was left alone in their villa. He doesn’t have any work schedule for this day. Aside from that, he has a plan later on that’s why he stayed home.Later at lunch, he will go to Everly’s workplace to send her some homemade lunch and then in the afternoon, he will be meeting Jonathan at the mall. He needed his help with something important. It’s a surprise he will b
Hans was so surprised to see Everly in his office at that moment. “Hey, I thought you were busy today with your concert?” He walked closer and took the cake into her hands.Everly smiled brightly at him and kissed him on the cheeks, “No matter how busy I am. You are always my priority. So, congratulations on your promotion Dr. Lee— I mean, Director Lee.”“Thank you! Thank you for coming. I really appreciate it.” Hans took her to the couch where Jonathan was looking at them with a deep frown on his face. “Guys, a little consideration please?… "Hans just laughed at him, “You have a wife on your own. I’m sure you two were more PDA than us.”Jonathan looked at him in disbelief. He turned his head towards Everly with a baffled look, “Iris, is this really my friend?… I’m sure the Hans I’ve known for so many years wouldn’t say such things.”Everly just chuckled lightly before answering, “I’m not quite sure myself. I also get surprised sometimes.”Jonathan shook his head and looked at Hans w
Months have passed by since Everly’s return and everything went as normal as possible. Director Jackson and Manager Kim had already come back from their honeymoon trip and went back to their respective works.Mary also decided to open a shop for her to pass the time. Her mother, Mrs. Watson was helping her in managing it. Jonathan was also in full support of his wife’s business. It was a cafe and Mary found a very promising location which is located near the hospital. Manager Kim helped her in acquiring that land.Currently, the shop was still under renovation and it will officially open its doors in a couple of weeks. On the other hand, Director Han, Jonathan’s father decided to resign from his work and wanted to enjoy the rest of his life leisurely.A lot of people disagreed with his sudden retirement but he was stubborn and firm in his decision. He said that he also wants to spend more time with his granddaughter and be with her as she grows up. After all, he had never gotten to do
The wedding reception has come to an end. Director Jackson and Manager Kim were now off on their honeymoon trip directly. They chose to spend their honeymoon abroad where they will be traveling from country to country to visit lots of places. They rarely spent a vacation due to the nature of their work that’s why President Song gave them this special wedding gift. A 3 weeks vacation and 5 plane tickets that they could use to whatever country they want to visit. He was very generous to them. At the airport, only Jonathan and Mary came. David went home right after the ceremony while Mrs. Watson went home as well together with Maverick. She brought with her baby Everly since it was already past her bedtime. “By the way, where is Hans?… Did he go home early? I didn’t see him right after he made his congratulatory speech.” Director Jackson confusedly, “Weren’t you together with him at the wedding hall?” Jonathan smirked, “He run away from who knows where dragging a woman with him.” “Ru
The hour that everyone was waiting for has finally come. All the guests, friends, and families were already gathered at the wedding hall, waiting for the groom and bride to make their entrance.The venue is located in a private garden owned by President Song, the CEO of the company where both Director Jackson and Manager Kim were working. The theme of the wedding is white and blue. White flowers with artificial blue-colored roses were elegantly arranged around the place.A large white grand piano was placed on the stage. Everyone was so excited about this day. Jonathan, David, and Hans were seated in the front row together with Mary, Mrs. Watson, and Maverick. All of them were dressed according to the theme. All of them were dressed in different shades of blue.When the wedding planner signaled, the wedding was about to begin. The singer was also being escorted to the stage. All eyes were on her, some were amused, excited, confused, and a lot more reactions. After all, she was a nobod
Jonathan booked a private hotel room at one of the most exclusive hotels in the city, The Ridgepole Hotel. It was not easy to book a room in this hotel since it needs membership. And there are a lot of criteria to be a member of this hotel.He was not the one who was a member of it but his father. Since it’s a special occasion for Director Jackson, he asks for his membership card to be able to book a room.As the time run so fast, it was already 8 in the evening. It’s the time he set for them to arrive. Jonathan has already arrived earlier than the rest of them. He ordered food and drinks for them.Not a moment later, Hans arrived as well. Then followed by Director Jackson. It was a very private and small celebration but it was enough for everyone.“So, how was the singer Manager Kim told you about? Did you meet her?” Jonathan asked as he served the canned beers he bought earlier.Director Jackson took one and opened it. He drank a mouthful before answering, “Yes. I met her earlier th
5 days had already passed since Hans got discharged from the hospital. Jonathan and Director Jackson scolded him so hard after he had woken up. Fortunately, nothing wrong came out from his test results so he got discharged immediately.After that short encounter he had with Everly, he didn’t know whether it was a dream or reality. When he woke up, it was like what he had experienced was a total dream. But it felt surreal and his memory of her was completely encrypted in his mind.He knew it wasn’t a dream. He had already talked with Everly to the other dimension. Hans even tried to ask Jonathan and Director Jackson if they knew someone named Everly but they did not know anyone.So, Hans didn’t push that topic and just let it be. Since it was Everly’s wish and sacrifice, he would respect it. It’s okay if she has been forgotten by everyone in the world, as long he still remembered her, it’s more than enough.“Dr. Lee, you have a call from from Dr. Hans.” his secretary said. Hans was cur
