Steele looked at her in surprise, not expecting her to say that as soon as he came, "What's the problem? Won't i be questioned again?" He asked her as Ottiline looked up at him and then looked at Franz coldly."There is no need for that." She stated."Lieutenant Ottiline! What the hell do you think you are doing?!" Bella came out and asked her coldly, and then glanced at Steele who didn't even spare her a glance, like he didn't see her."Your husband was summoned here for a questioning! Are you trying to go against the rules?!" Bella furiously asked her as everyone stood aside watching them."Rules? What rules? I brought him here since he is my husband, I was just trying to do my duty. The rules states that, to summon someone to the station you have to write a summoning letter stating the reasons. So, since there is no summoning letter, we can just take it that he came to pick me pick." She reminded them again as Bella decided to talk about rules with her."But agreed to it yesterday.
Just as Ottiline and Blade were about to drive out, they saw Nelly and Austin walking out with their things, "They must have done stupid things." She mumbled as she watched them come closer."Why are you guys out? Don't tell me you guys annoyed her?" Ottiline asked."I will follow you wherever you are going to." Austin smiled at her but Ottiline shook her head with disgust."Please don't!""What exactly happened?" She asked them again."I confronted her and she suspended me." Nelly explained."What about you Austin?""I told her to suspend me." Austin replied brightly."Why are you like this?! What about the case? Who will solve it? Don't tell me you left it for Chief Ben and Cocksure?" She asked as they nodded."Just go home. I will contact you guys later" She waved at them tiredly and then went on board the car where Blade was waiting.She got into the car as Blade looked at her, "They must cherish you so much to be suspended too." He mumbled without looking at her.Ottiline raise
Just as she asked the question, they all turned to look at her. Mr. Williams looked at Blade as if asking him how did she find out but Blade shrugged, "It is not my fault. She is just smart." Blade replied proudly."Yes. You are right, we do need your help but then we can't use your help if you keep interfering in our plans." Mr. Williams nodded."Sorry but no. If I'm going to work with you guys, I at least need to know what to tell my colleagues. They don't know anything about your world and I don't want to put them in such danger, but even at that... I have to explain to them.""What part of it is dangerous do you not understand?! Your stubbornness will only put everyone around you in danger!" Bella glared at her."I understand everything you guys are saying perfectly. But at the same time, I can't leave my work to you guys. Do what you want to do, I will do my own part, if there is something I cannot handle I will let Blade know. But letting me abandon the whole case to you guys. T
Blade didn't believe her but didn't ask anymore questions as they drove home quietly, As soon as they reached Ottiline got down from the car and headed inside without saying another word to Blade who was still confused about what he did wrong.He followed her inside and to the bedroom and watched her change, "What are you doing here? Aren't you going back to work?" She glanced at him lightly and asked.Blade went closer and hugged her waist, "How can i got to work when my wife is angry with me and i don't know why." He planted a kiss at her back after speaking.Ottiline turned around and faced him, "Now you are finally ready to look at me." He leaned over to kiss her lips but she leaned back dodging, "Now, you don't even want to accept my kiss? What did i do wrong?" He asked aggrieved."What relationship did you have with Bella?" Ottiline looked up at him and asked."Bella, I don't have any relationship with her." He raised his brows and replied without hesitation."You guys never had
"Blade, Damien is missing." She broke the news to him."What?" Steele got into the elevator, "I am sure we will find him, So wait for me there, I will be there soon enough." He tried to console her, as he hurriedly made his way to get to her side."My son, was not picked by the father? And i am healthy, So what is your school going to do about it?" She looked over to the teacher who was at a loss."I will let the director of the school know." The teacher suggested and made her way inside with Ottiline following right behind her.Inside the Directors office...The teacher explained everything to the Director who frowned and looked over at Ottiline, "Have you confirmed with your relatives, If anyone came to pick him up?" The Director asked as Ottiline scoffed."I gave you the information of the third parties that are allowed to pick him up if i and his father does not come, and here you are asking me this question!" She slammed the table as she felt that everyone here s wasting her time
Nelly, Cocksure, Austin and Chief Ben, registered what Steele just said as they turned to Ottiline, "Was Damien kidnapped? I thought the school guarantees the safety of the kids?" Chief Ben asked horrified by the news."If you child was kidnapped. You can just report it to the station and we will take care of it!" Bella said but Ottiline ignored her and turned to Austin."Thank you so much for the files, I will go through it myself." Ottiline turned and made to leave but staggered slightly. Everyone took a step forward to help her but Blade was the closest to her as he allowed her to lean on him."Mr. Steele, Why don't we help? We are Ottiline's best partners and we would be able to help her one way or the other." Nelly suggested."No. I can take care of it myself." Ottiline refused their help not wanting to burden with things like this."Ottiline, Right now you can't even take care of your yourself so how are you going to concentrate and find him in the shape that you are in right no
"I analyzed the CCTV footages again, and the face was really blurry, I've sent people to check of other CCTV around the area, we might have a clear look of their face if we check another CCTV footage, maybe from a building facing the school or even a car." Cocksure looked up from his laptop and said to them."I also checked the criminals that you sent to jail, about 20 of them were released this year and only a few have a serious grudge against you. So i narrowed it down." Austin brought over the remaining file as Ottiline opened it and looked at it, As Austin continued, "One of them was a pedophile, he is prime suspect. Because clearly i don't think he changed because he was sent to jail for a few years.The second one is a murderer, Killed his girlfriend. When you caught him, i remember you beating him up for stressing you, and he threatened to deal with you when he comes out of jail. He was in jail for 5 years, he was granted a pardon because of his good behavior.The third one is
Ottiline stroked her hand across her hair, and soon returned to the room, where everyone is, "Austin, did you track the number?" She asked as Austin shook his head regretfully."I couldn't find it. The other party has a stronger hacker by his side, finding him is going to be difficult. But don't worry, i will take it to the professional hackers in the other room. They might be able to find it." Austin stood up to go but Ottiline stopped him."Don't worry. I will take it to them myself." She turned to leave."What did the kidnapper say?" Nelly asked as she paused slightly. Ottiline shook her head, "Nothing serious, He just told me that he is fine and he might send me clues. I need to trace this number before he cuts off his trail." She replied without looking back at them.Nelly watched her leaving without any word, "She is hiding something." Chief Ben said very sure of it."Austin follow her and watch her before she tries to carry everything by herself again." He said as Austin stood
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
