Escape

***

Leila’s eyes moistened with unshed tears.

She couldn’t believe it – but she had to see with her own eyes. She had to confirm. Even though her entire being was screaming about the reality.

The man he was talking to…

The man who was spying her all this time…

The man whom she trusted…

Leila swallowed the lump in her throat – as she gathered all her strength and resolved just to sneak into the door. And she almost lost her balance when she confirmed who it was.

Duncan.

Her childhood best friend.

He was looking at the masked man with pure hatred in his eyes.

Leila just couldn’t believe it.

She was trying so hard to contain her rage, but she couldn’t. Especially that Silver could feel the tension inside her.Then, she smiled viciously – as if she was mocking herself with such a foolish question.“Oh, yeah… What a stupid question to ask, right?” Leila said with every word said with emphasis.She looked at him painfully.“L-Leila…” Duncan’s voice broke.However, it didn’t even soothe her emotions. It didn’t give her comfort. In fact, it only pushed her to be more furious.“Stop calling my name!” She finally snapped at him.Duncan took a harsh exhale – as he ran his fingers into his hair.This time, Leila saw how messy he was.Far gone were the Duncan she used to know – the calm and nice man he was. This time, the Duncan he was seeing was somewhat… lost.H

It was what Hunter only told her a while ago. He was trying to be secretive about it.Actually, he was doing a great job at that. She really didn’t know where they were going. He simply asked him to go out with him and have a date – and that’s all.And of course,

It was still light – but a bit gloomier. This time, she saw some pain and sadness written in their eyes.It only added guilt into her heart – which she didn’t know for what or for who.She didn’t know but there was something in the way they looked at her – something that made her heart a bit heavier.“Lindon Mercado…” Mrs. Black called her father’s name – as she was slightly nodding her head.Then, she looked at the huge window on the right side of the room.It was as if she was lost in her own thoughts all of a sudden.“Leila…” Mr. Black called her seriously &ndash

Maybe we can talk to him tomorrow.” Mrs. Black told her – as they sat on the single couches.She sat across from her while Mr. Black sat on the other side.Mr. Black rested his elbows in the armrest – as he intertwined his fingers right in front of his chest.

You should have asked him if he was okay – not kissed him right there and then.’ She murmured inside her head.Then, her face turned redder when she realized that if Hunter didn’t groan in pain – she wouldn’t stop the kiss yet.“You are really an aggressive one, Leila…” This time, Silver tried to throw her a playful remark.Her lips protruded.Well, she had no excuse for that.She was just so happy – that she couldn’t stop herself.However, seeing how Hunter looked at her with that playful smirk on his face –

But all of a sudden, the Triad base suddenly exploded. It seemed like the explosives inside were lit and Donovan… He is one of those who were dead. We saw his dead body in his throne.” Hector explained seriously.Leila didn’t know what to feel about the news.She was torn of being happy and sad – all at the same time.Of course, she couldn’t be happy for having someone she knew – dead.
