A message popped up into Jaxon’s phone. He glanced at the contents of the message for a while before finally looking at Rey who was pulling a corpse from the Red Cage’s basement which was usually used as a place of torture.
“Is there something?” Rey asked.
He glanced at Jaxon for a moment before finally returning to busy with a lifeless man who he was wrapping in a black plastic bag.
Jaxon shrugged slightly and put the phone back in his trouser pocket.
“Only reports from Fritz said they were with Mia at the Coffee Bean Cafe,” Jaxon explained as he approached Rey who was wiping his bloodied hands with a white napkin.
“Have you contacted Fontana?” Rey threw the bloody napkin into the trash can in the corner of the room.
“What for?” Jaxon asked with an eyebrow rising.
“He said Romero was fighting with his uncle, Sergio Falcone,” explained Rey, who kicked the black bo
The sirens of police car echoed through the entire air around the Coffee Bean Café’s street, and the police were seen approaching the place with yellow lines starting to be installed around the parking lot.Rey who came earlier than his friends to the scene looked around with his angry eyes. He saw the movement of Dane Loren who closed the access road around him.After closing the car door, Rey walked closer to the front of the Café building, but he was stopped by Noel Kendrick, a young police who still didn’t understand that they had no meaningful authority in front of the Red Cage Members.“Get out of my way,” Rey hissed in a low intonation.Noel raised his chin defiantly.“We are conducting an investigation, and you are prohibited from damaging the crime scene,” Noel said with a straight shoulder, a posture that showed that Rey was far under his authority.With a quick movement, Rey pulled
After placing Mia on the bed, Jaxon looked at her for a while. He rubbed his face in a huff and walked out of the room.“I want you to call Thomas and send him to Aurelia now,” Jaxon ordered to Snow who was standing at the door.“Will do, sir.”Snow rushed to call Thomas when Jaxon called again.“Has Doctor Timothy arrived yet?”“He’ll be here in a minute, sir,” Snow replied as he focused on Jaxon, because the man usually wouldn’t be ready with just one question.“While waiting for his arrival, I want you to gather all the workers in Aurelia. I have something to tell them.”Seeing Jaxon’s unfriendly face, Snow knew not to ask what it was about.After resigning, Snow carried out all of Jaxon’s orders right away.There were dozens of workers in Aurelia Castle gathered in the Hall, and all the workers were waiting with anticipation, they wer
Mia peeked out of the bedroom window after seeing the car which Jaxon was driving leaving the gate of Aurelia Castle. She closed the curtains again, then walked out of the room and looked for Emily, Piper, Allana, or maybe Greta.After looking around the vast castle, Mia found Allana and Emily who seemed busy cleaning a room on the third floor. She had never been up to this place before so she got lost a while ago.Emily who first saw Mia’s arrival looked curiously.“Is there anything you need, Miss Heart?” Emily asked surprised because Mia immediately closed the bedroom door tightly while glancing outside, making sure there was no one around with suspicious movements, making Emily and Allana confused by Mia’s act just now.“I have a few questions,” Mia said as she asked Allana and Emily to sit on the bed that had not been cleaned.Mia walked back and forth in front of the two, making Emily and Allana a little di
The atmosphere in Denver Park looks deserted, only the ducks were around.Mia, who had been staring at the lake in the park, looked pensive with full of thoughts. She wondered what was really going on around. Why did it feel like everyone treated her like fragile glass always wrapped in a silk. So careful as if afraid of her getting hurt.“Hey…Do you also think that I’m just an empty-headed and weak girl?” Mia asked a duck who had been watching her for a long time with it head tilted from side to side.“You should have seen how Jaxon treated me. He’s really covering something up!” Mia murmured at the duck again and responded with a non-stop ‘wek wek’ sounds from ducks.Mia nodded her head. “That’s right, what you said was true. He is indeed a stubborn man, a little arrogant with his closed attitude and likes to torture using his perfect body and handsome face! Totally unfair! W
After searching for Mia throughout Denver, Jaxon asked his friends to gather in the Red Cage, and ordered their subordinates to continue the search.Rey looked at Jaxon who seemed anxiously waiting for news. He had been spinning the crystal glass in his hand earlier, while his gaze was blankly staring at the floor. Jaxon was also seen squeezing the glass in his hand several times as if he wanted to smash the glass to pieces.Nicko, Gideon, and Rey glanced at each other, understanding how Jaxon was feeling right now.It was clear their friends were worried but trying to cover it up.“Any news?” Jaxon asked suddenly to no one in the room.At the same time they all shook their heads while checking the cellphones in each other’s hands.“Wait a minute, I’m sure Mia is still in Denver,” Rey said calmly.Jaxon gave him a sharp glare as he snorted.“It’s been two hours since Snow to
Mia didn’t want to take off her arms wrapped around Jaxon’s neck, so he continued to hold her until they sat on the bed, with the sound of Mia’s sobs which slowly subsiding.Both of Jaxon’s hands were tightly coiled in the middle of her body, while he whispered shooting soft words.“The snake is not venomous, you have nothing to fear.”But Mia’s head shook quickly. “I-I … a-afraid of s-snakes,” sobbed Mia, stammering.“Ssshhh … the snake has been taken away,” said Jaxon, who was convinced that his friends had taken care of the immoral snake. “Normally he’s very calm in the cage, maybe Gavin forgot to close the door and just get Blacky out.”Mia raised her head and looked at Jaxon with teary eyes.“B-Blacky …?” asked Mia in the middle of hiccups.Carefully, Jaxon landed a kiss on her lips while holding her
Downstairs, Rey and the others began crowding the bar table, and some appeared to gather near the billiards table.Meanwhile Nicko and Gideon chose to sit on the sofa with chess game on the table.Danny and Connor who were sitting in the corner of the room seemed busy completing the puzzle that Danny had just bought.Jaxon came with looks fresher than ever. His face was much more radiant, so Gideon and Nicko didn’t stop tease him.“So, have you done it?” asked Nicko suddenly, which made Jaxon sharply glare at him.“Do you need to know someone’s personal business?” asked Jaxon as he received the drink Rey gave him.Gideon who was also curious seemed not to want to miss out.“Come on, you know when I did it first with Kalista,” Gideon said.Danny throw three peanut over him, annoyed.“I don’t want to hear your vulgar story! My ears are still dirty from your adulte
Mia looked flustered watching the hospital in front of her. Couples of times she blinked her eyes and ensured herself that Jaxon was the one bringing her to the hospital, instead of Aurelia Castle.She gazed at the man who had been sitting quietly while observing her intensely, as if there was nothing attractive more than her.“Why are we in the hospital?” asked Mia frowning.The edge of Jaxon’s lips turned up slightly, but his eyes couldn’t stop watching her.“I just want to make sure you don’t need follow up treatment,” Jaxon explained as he opened the car door and walked around to the Mia’s side.“I’m fine Jaxon, I don’t even feel the pain on my head anymore,” said Mia trying to negotiate, she dreadfully didn’t want to be bored to death if Jaxon finally decided to hospitalize her again.“It can be something invisible and still need detailed examination. I
