"Ottiline!" They all cried out as they saw her open her eyes.She looked at them strangely she sat up looking around, "Why exactly are all of you crying? Did you think I died?" She asked them as they looked away embarrassed not wanting to look at her."And why are they handcuffed?" She looked at the Guards that were handcuffed, "Who did it?" She asked the guards who pointed at Franz."You shouldn't have let him do it. Beating him up would have been much better." She glared at Franz, "Handcuff them.immediately."We thought they are the ones that did this to you. That's why. I was actually doing a good thing." Franz grumbled and uncuffed them."The good thing you can do now is to find Victor Cruz before he escape. That little boy totally fooled me" She rubbed her hair annoyed."You look pretty injured, Are you ok? I've called the ambulance, you should at least receive treatment." Nelly suggested but Ottiline wasn't hearing any of it."Didn't you just hear what I just said." She sighed f
Just as Ottiline finished getting the medication from the nurses and listening to their prescription on how to take it, Steele returned to her side, "Are you done meeting with your friends?" Ottiline asked as he nodded."You don't look like the type of person that has friends but is not like I know you perfectly." She shrugged she got into the car with him sitting next to her."Drop me at the station, I still have something to do there and I can't just leave it" She said to Blade who nodded absentmindedly as if he wasn't even listening to her from the very beginning."Blade!" She called but received no response from him, instead he looked out the window without turning to her side."Hey!" She made to touch him but the car stopped, Before she could react to what is happening in front of her, Dillan already came and opened the car door for Steele who stepped out of the car."I will go with Dillan in the other car while The driver will take you to the station. Something came up so I can'
About an hour later, Ottiline went through all the videos. She walked out and her face wasn't as bright as when she went in at first, "Why do you look like you are going to kill someone?" Cocksure followed her and asked her after seeing the look ok her face."Do I ? I actually want to buy unfortunately the person is already dead and there is nothing I can do" She returned to the seat and sat down without a word.""Is about that video isn't it?" Nelly asked her while she didn't say a word, and took the file from him."Is this the list of those that he had a contact with?" She asked as she looked through it."Yes." Nelly replied and watched her strange behavior without saying a word."Good! I will step out for a moment." She took the file the file and the Usb while holding her coat."Aren't you going to pick Damien from school today, You said that today is his first day?" Chief Ben walked out and asked her."Steele will take care of that." She glanced at the Chief and made to leave but
Ottiline returned to the Station like nothing happened and sat on her desk, "Where are you coming from?" Nelly was the first to walk up to her and ask."Nowhere, I just went to get some fresh air" She closed her eyes tired and replied."Anyway, I think I have a clue of who killed Roku" Nelly handed her the file."Who do you think it is? Obviously it is one of the women that Roku assaulted, and among those he has a contact with" Nelly explained."You can't be sure of that" Ottiline looked through the files carelessly not bothered by the file."That's why I gave you the file of those he met, if you analyze it with the video you have then you might know who was there that night and who the one that killed him" "I've checked, None of them were there last night" She looked up at him and cut him off, but it only made Nelly look at her strangely."Anyway, You are right. None of the women he has a contact with was there in the restaurant when he died except for "Nara!" She was there but if
After Speaking with Clara, Ottiline left the apartment and made her way back home. Just as Steele will always do, the moment she walked into the villa, she saw him working seriously in the living room."You finally decided to come back" Steele looked up from his laptop."Sorry I had something to do" She looked away and made her way upstairs, "Even if you don't care about Damien or any other thing as much as you care about your job, the least you should do is to take care of yourself. From what I know, you left the station as early as 6 pm" He watched her back and asked.Even he was surprised by when he started caring about her so much, but then he couldn't stop caring even though he wanted to stop."Heh!" Ottiline turned and faced him, "So that's what the guards was for?" She asked him coldly."What do you mean?""Didn't you hire them because you wanted to watch every of my movement, what I do who I meet, of course they give you feedback of everything. Isn't that why you hired them?!"
Chief Ben watched her leave but didn't stop her, Nelly made to follow her but Chief Ben stopped him from taking another step, "I think it is best we leave her alone for now" He said to Nelly who nodded."So, Are you going to let her go like that?" Franz asked them."We are done solving the case, Don't you think it is high time to go back to your station. You are not needed here and we would take care of the rest" Austin looked at him and reminded."So you guys are not really going to do anything, that's why you want me to leave in a hurry." He chuckled lightly and shook his head but Nelly and his team didn't care.Franz glared at everyone of them, "I'm definitely going to come back, This is not the end!" He sworn she left the station with his teammates.Just as they left Chief Ben collapsed on the chair next to him feeling very tired of everything that has just happened, "Why would she do something like that, if she is fully was are of the consequences,!" He lamented while the others
Seeing that it was getting out of hand, Clara stood between them, "Let's take a deep breath and calm down first" She raised her hand to calm them down."No! She isn't seeing it. Do you think your job is the most important thing. You will eventually retire, and would want some family time but how would you be able to get that when you spent most of your life pushing your son away" Aunt Jewel didn't stop and still wanted to talk more sense into them."They are your partners, Treat them as such. You can't just leave them out in situations like this. I'm very sure they would have supported you and found a better way for you, and that's if you don't mess things up. So stop pushing everyone away and accept help when you need one!" After speaking Aunt Jewel left the office and slammed the door behind her.Clara flinched at the slammed and then turned to Ottiline, "She gets like this sometimes, Don't be annoyed by her words" She patted her back."But what she said is the truth. All the time
Ottiline looked at them speechless, "Are you guys being serious right now?" She glared at them as they finally recognized her."It is really her!" Chief Ben turned to the team and confirmed it,Nelly instantly went over to her side, "What's the matter? Why were you arrested?" He asked her and then turned to the detective."I was at the boutique, and she wanted to drag something with me so I held her hand until paid. Who would have known that her hand is so fragile which caused her bones to be dislocated. So I told her that I would fix it but she sued me instead, that's why I'm here" She shrugged and explained everything while obviously stating that she did not do anything wrong.Chief Ben and the team turned to the Young Lady Linda after listening to Ottiline's explanation, and then they turned to the Detective in charge, "I've already told her that she wouldn't get anything. So she should just settle but Miss Linda wants to sue her for assault" Officer Jude waved his hands and explai
THE STORY OF MY MOTHER"President Damien, The public have a question for you? Your father is the weathiest man in the world. But even after taking over his company, why are you still a detective?" The reporter asked the grown up Damien Steele.Damien crossed his legs and looked at the reporter with a slight smile, "I did it because of my mother." He replied shocking both the reporter and the viewers."Your mom? You hardly talk about her.""Yes. She is the most strongest woman and the most amazing woman that i have ever seen. No one has ever topped her." He replied as the reporter."Then you would want a woman like your mother?""No, I don't think anyone is going to be as amazing as her. So that is why i am not planning to get married.""There are so many amazing women out there."No. I don't want to give someone the burden of being better than my mother. So i don't plan on getting married at all. She is just a special woman, that no one can ever replace her. Do you want me to tell you
The rest of the dinner ended with tears, Aunt Rita couldn't hold back her tears as she blamed herself for everything that. Grandpa was sent to the hospital because of high blood pressure which he ended up dead. His burial was done immediately leaving grandma, but the next day after the burial Grandma fell sick and was sent to the hospital. Ottiline instantly regretted telling them about.She submitted her resignation letter the next day, and just decided to live the rest of her life with her family. Blade dropped everything aside and booked a two months long trip for everyone, Her teammates, her aunt and Clara, with Damien. The spent the few months in the strange country."Maybe you should have died sooner. In that way i would have come to this vacation a long time ago." Clara joked as Ottiline knocked her and took the glass of wine from her hand."You've been drinking a lot since you came here." Ottiline sat down next to her at the beach."I just feel like drinking. Is there anything
The past few days went by like a flash, and Ottiline had to spend the rest of the day in the care of her family, since no one wanted her to be out of their sight. She could still vividly remember how Clara and her Aunt found out about the cancer.FLASHBACKOn that day she sent a message to her Aunt and Clara, "How about having dinner together. Steele will be there too." She sent to them as they responded almost immediately."Great! I will be there.""You finally decided to introduce him properly." Her Aunt sent as she smiled and hugged Damien tighter while she sent a message to Blade. After their fight that, they haven't had a proper talk. But she knows that Blade comes home everyday and sleeps on the same bed, while cuddling her. She just didn't want to say anything not only because she enjoyed it but also she felt more secure to see him there.While she was about to click on sent, She changed her mind and decided to call instead, Just as she called, it didn't even ring up to twice b
Before Ottiline could agree or disagree, She already found herself in another space sitting down, "I can see that you don't know how to seek consent." She rolled her eyes at him and mumbled."I clearly got your permission. It was obvious that you wanted answers, so it will be bad of me if i don't give you the answers that you are looking for." He placed a cup of tea in her hand."You seem to know everything." Ottiline picked up the tea and had a sip, it tasted like the one she had in Blade's office."Yes, I know everything . So where do you start asking from?" He sat down opposite her."Are you the one that killed him?" She asked as Mr. Williams smiled."You can't say that i killed him. I only put a killing spell in his body, And he can activate it whenever he wanted, i didn't expect him to activate it so soon." He replied as Ottiline stared at him silently without any word."Then i guess that you must know everything that he is doing? How he killed those people and watched me investi
Ottiline listened to Blade, and felt that the story felt familiar but it was obvious that she has not heard about it before. She tried her best to hold back what she was feeling at that time, "So what happened on the wedding day?""Rebels. The rebels that i have been fighting against for a long time, suddenly attacked. To save me she sacrificed her life and was killed. I lost my reasoning, So i killed everyone in the palace, and all the rebels. Innocent people were involved in the death. All the wedding guests died at my hand. Williams came to stop me, but according to the heavens, i committed a great sin so i was punished with eternal life.No matter how i tried, I couldn't kill myself. I couldn't get killed by others, I continued living a meaningless life. Dillan's life got tied to my own because he helped me kill them. So he is only allowed to die when i die.And i can only die if i get human stars. Stars are the amount of good deed they've done in this life and in their past lives
"Don't act so surprised when you are the one that killed him yourself. For how long do you think you will continue lying to me!" She yelled at him leaving Blade all surprised by the sudden outburst."Hey, Sweetheart calm down. I don't care what other accusation you have for me. But one thing i won't do is to break a promise that i made to you. There is no way i am ever going to do that. I ensured that Franz was brought to you alive so you can do whatever you want with him." He said clearly, as Ottiline paused."Well, Someone felt like it was ok to kill Franz, and we could not even save his body for an autopsy." She mumbled while looking at Blade's facial expression, but his face was still the same as she couldn't see what he was thinking."He was supposed to die, So there is nothing wrong with dying earlier than expected." He said and went back to his work, "But his body will be ashes the moment he dies. That is the same for everyone like us." He said as Ottiline sat down."Do you mea
"What?!" Austin looked at the paper in his hands, confused and wondering how things turned out to be like this."Why do you want me to suddenly look into your husband? Are you suspecting him or something? Maybe you should let Nelly know. I am not the best person for this job." He said as Ottiline shook her head."Nelly, and everyone else must never find out about this no matter what. It might go the wrong way if they find out." She warned again as Austin nodded."Then i will look into it for you." He said and headed inside without asking her any further question about anything.As soon as he walked in Chief Ben, Cocksure and Nelly walked up to him, "What did you and Ottiline talk about? Are you guys hiding something from us?" Cocksure asked as Austin shrugged."We are not hiding anything from you. What is there is hide anyway?" He said and made to his sit."You are acting suspicious. You are the only one Ottiline meets if she wants to hide something from us." Chief Ben said as Austin
"What?!"The more Franz spoke, the more he looks at Ottiline as if trying to find out something from her facial expression, "Do you know why they wiped my memory and took away my powers. It was to prevent me from saying these things. But do you think i was going to give up, No. I stored this particular memory using dark magic, So it must come up and i must say it. Indicating that it is time for me to die." He said as Ottiline looked up at him suspiciously."Why should i believe someone who speaks without evidence. Accusing my husband is a very big crime to me." Ottiline said as he chuckled lightly."For someone who wants to kill you himself. You have a lot of emotional attachment to him. Do you think he doesn't know the fact that you are sick? He knows, but he didn't say anything about it. Just like them, he will give you the option to live your your life without pain until you die or you will die a painful death.""You seem so concerned of my life than you seem about yourself. If you
The next few weeks Ottiline spent it at home recovering, While spending a lot of quality time with Damien, Clara and Aunt Rita, As for Blade, for some reason he has not shown his face to her after the incident, and she doesn't know if she will ever see him again. But even with all of these, she has not been able to tell Clara and her Aunt about her illness. They both seemed happy that she was taking a good rest and recovering, If she broke such news to them, she couldn't imagine how devastated they would be. So she just couldn't muster up her courage to tell them.She looked at them once again and decided to break to them another news instead while they were playing with Damien, and she was eating, "I am going back to work tomorrow." She said as they both stopped what they are doing and looked up at her instead."Don't you think it is time for you to quit that job? I can give you my boutique to manage if you wat." Aunt Rita said as she shook her head."I will quit very soon. For now i
