[That bastard must come before two hours from now ends].

Theo was calculating the time remaining 15 minutes since the benchmark threatening message was sent on Rose's cell phone. From the rolex watch in his hand, he was now focused on the dilapidated building that loomed before him.

The hostage-takers (probably) Theo didn't know how many people were in there, it could be one, it could be a crowd, for sure they had prepared a strategy by choosing a remote old place. Very far from the modernization of the city, the building was too gloomy to be depressing.

"What the-" Theo's tirade and steps stopped as his body crossed the threshold of the entrance. Indeed, not everything could be judged by the cover. The outside of this place looked shabby and neglected, in contrast to the inside which was filled with electronic circuits and other magnetic materials. The interior seemed specifically designed to trap anyone who dared to cross the bu

    "Fine." "But take these cuffs off first." Only a human bored of life would actually agree to Bouldog's crazy offer. Inhaling carbon monoxide for that long would be suicide. Hell, maybe the next 30 minutes would see Theo collapse first before an hour of doing nothing in the tube. In hindsight, Bouldog should have made Theo fall more helplessly before making the offer, because when the handcuffs were open. He would not allow himself to be controlled like in the next building. "Do you think I'm a fool to just let you go?" Bouldog gave Theo a haughty look, then he chuckled very loudly. His captive was no ordinary person. To be able to trap him with such a well-orchestrated plan was an honor. He was looking forward to being praised by Mr. Alenjandro for a success. Unfortunately, Bouldog was too complacent. He didn't realize Theo was watching every curve of his face calculatingly.

    What kind of virtue might influence one's life. One who is willing to sacrifice body and soul or one who dares to decide on whom his life is hung by invisible pleasures? Perhaps, had the chains that ensnared the soul been broken by luck, Theo would not have drowned in the helplessness that still shackles him today. The consciousness that should have survived, had wandered far beyond desire. And with that, one's hope was snatched away before the fertilizer sown worked as intended. "Hurry up and get some water." A faint, commanding voice from someone was faintly captured by the listener's senses. Theo had to get out immediately! He did everything he could to escape the darkness. The walls between him and reality were broken down with all him might. Nothing. Nothing happened except fatigue forced its way into his heart and mind. How much longer would Theo be trapped in the relentless circle of blackness? Two or three hours? What dose of anesthesia would keep him unconscious f

    "You don't deserve to live!" cursed Bouldog unhappily. He darkened his eyes, then strode quickly towards the dangerous machine. With one press, the sound of the device operating filled the entire room. At that moment, an odorless and colorless gas raced into the target tube. Carbon atoms covalently bonded with oxygen atoms continue to invade someone in there. There was nothing Theo could do but hold his breath. He looked down with his hands clinging to the glass wall. Dying out of fresh air supply or dying of poisoning, both were difficult choices. What if Bouldog didn't want to stop the engine that continued to deliver risky gases? Theo really could no longer bear the feeling of suffocation when not a single bit of air reached his chest cavity. Nearly four minutes in, he was still trying to hold himself back from the dryness of his lungs. Damn it! To hell with carbon monoxide. Theo's

    Yes, he was. A few months ago, by agreement between them-Verasco had shown a photograph of Theo, whom Mr. Alejandro had first called Zever. In short, coincidences are part of life for businessmen like them. "Be careful." Mr. Alejandro moved from his previous position to maintain Theo's balance. He didn't want Buldog's fatal mistake to cost him financially. It was enough now that the man looked useless. Not the rest. "You don't look well, Zever. My men will bring an oxygen tank for you." "No need." Theo didn't have much time to receive oxygen. The firearm under Mr. Alejandro's coat, which had been raised during his beating of Bouldog, had been in his sights ever since. Theo wanted to give something back before taking Oracle away. In the blink of an eye he had what he wanted, the weapon in his hand along with the master's consciousness. "No, Zever!" Mr. Alejandro's shout had no effect.

    "Next time, don't be like this again Oracle. Don't accept gifts from strangers. Do you understand?" asked Rose sternly. She had warned Oracle that he would be traumatized by the kidnapping. Thankfully when he woke up, Oracle didn't remember anything, including the face of the man who lured him with frozen solid food. "Got it, Mommy. Sorry." Oracle looked down in fear, not daring to look Rose in the face. A child like Oracle could not resist being seduced with ice cream, his favorite food. "Mommy is sorry. Next time Oracle has to be smarter, okay?" "Okay, Mommy." "Good boy." Rose smiled as she gently rubbed Oracle's head. Occasionally she turned toward the blanket, where Theo lay so content to close his eyes. Indeed, Theo lost consciousness not long after the ambulance arrived. Now they were in the emergency room, where the symptoms were present, a bright red rash on the skin and the res

    "Hey." The soft voice froze Theo in his tracks. For the first time Rose gave a warm greeting. Never before - ever. What demon was Rose possessed by? While watching Rose's mesmerizing face, Theo silently moved his hand up. He took off the oxygen mask on his face, feeling uncomfortable especially when he was about to speak. "What are you doing? The doctor said you need minimal oxygen until your lungs clear." Rose put the oxygen mask back on as it should be. Rose's gaze was sharp as Theo still wanted to put the life support away. "My phone." Theo's voice was filtered, although what was said was still quite audible. While beside him Rose had handed Theo the device he was looking for. "I have something to do," Theo said after successfully removing the oxygen mask and welcoming the cell phone in Rose's hand. Rose watched what Theo was about to do. "You should keep that sophisticated thing away

    "I need your help, Rose." Theo looked around, taking in every object until his gray eyes stopped on the door leaf. "A favor?" Rose's question broke Theo's fully-extended focus. While thinking, Theo searched deeply into the beautiful, sweet face in front of him. A single impulse filled his head. Theo gulped with difficulty. Still staring at Rose's mesmerizing face. His heart was currently surrounded by feelings of doubt and want. Is it possible that Rose will say yes? He asked himself. "I was waiting for you. What kind of help do you mean?" "Help me by going to Sean, getting close to him. Find out when he's going to spread that damn video. I'll take care of the rest." "But-wait a minute. It's okay. That won't happen. I can handle it." Never mind that Rose would make it, all Theo could think about was how Sean and Rose would get along. Already a divider, there was no way Theo cou

    "I'm counting from one to 10, if you don't get in I'll leave you out," Rose threatened calculatingly. "Patience, nag!" A short grunt could be heard from outside. Theo's every move and the man's relieved reaction did not escape Rose's eyes. There was a very faint smile on her lips, but it didn't last long. Rose's sweetness was lost along with her forward-focused gaze as Theo hurriedly opened the car door. Rose squeezed the steering wheel after hearing the sound of the door closing movement and felt the addition of a passenger. From the tail of her eyes, Rose realized Theo was watching her. "Someone who said she didn't care, suddenly forced me to get into her car," Theo chided after fastening the seat belt. The car started quietly. "I'm just sorry. You and your luxury are used to walking." Rose picked up speed, a little unable to keep from looking at Theo on the side. For a moment, their gazes crossed, and

    Rose had to admit that Theo was quite different by remaining silent when their position was intact. The last sentence from her was ignored, the man was busy sniffing Rose's body scent. Deeply nuzzling the surface of her flat stomach. "Take a shower." Rose played with the black hair warmly. She smiled as Theo looked up at her. "Take a bath with me?" The ash bead drowned Rose deep in the warm ocean. She pursed her lips as she pulled Theo's facial skin wide to the side. "I'm old enough to bathe by myself. Hurry up...." A faint shake of Rose's head brought her to fall on her back on the bed. Theo's thirsty face and the man's large fingers began to dig into a t-shirt depicting a black bear, just like Theo who was currently resting on top of her. "I told you to take a shower, Theo. Not—" Rose was silenced by the tongue thrusting into her mouth. The sound of a wet sniffle trails off—a greeting of desire igni

    Slowly Rose's eyelids slipped from their valves. The same Theo stared, silhouetted against each other in the mirror—Rose was lost in the seduction of the locking gray bead. "I was thinking of Oracle. He knows I don't like wearing earrings. Deliberately gifted me earrings so I'd wear them," Rose replied, successfully drawing one of Theo's eyebrows up high. "He's here, isn't he? Why don't you go straight to him." Theo's baritone voice whispered softly. Comparable to the smile on Rose's lips that curved again-this time briefly and too faintly. "He's back home ...." "Home?" Rose's body was slightly freed as Theo moved his face away from the crook of her neck. "Yes. Axe came to pick him up earlier." One step away she found Theo moving backwards. "Strange. Oracle came home because he was afraid of me, right? Did I hurt him too much?"Theo's quiet tone disturbed Rose's mind. She scrutinized the few times Theo's expre

    Rose didn't care how the swaying bed jerked like a violent swinging shock. She maximized each powerful gallop like a giant crashing into the earth. Theo's body was a soft target for her feet. The man moaned in a submerged voice. Yet, also with pleasure... sometimes asking Rose to move from one spot to another. "Up again, Sugar. Up to the shoulders." Rose chuckled, still doing everything Theo wanted. One foot stomped even harder on her husband's hot, sexy shoulders. "That's it," Rose said. One leap ended the earthquake on the surface of Theo's body. She flung herself down beside the sleeping man. "You said you will give me back my gift box!" "I need to know. Who gave you the gift?" "Oracle. Here, give it back quickly." Rose's arms extended to pull the red velvet box in Theo's grasp. Their positions were in sync, both using their arms as a fulcrum to lift their chests. "Let me open it." Theo's large fingers separa

    "No, you don't. You had your fill of acting like a baby last night." Rose ruffled the remaining strands of hair that still dangled over half of Theo's face. She looked down, searching for the most comfortable spot to strike. "Ouh, Sugar ...." A contrived hiss. Rose knew that no matter how much she clenched her teeth, it wouldn't give Theo much leverage. "Let go. I have to meet, Axe." "You son of bitch. I hope you don't leave before I get back." The chances of escape were slim in the conditions Rose had to face. She wasn't going to waste it, deliberately hunting her nimble footsteps leaving Theo alone lost on the bed. Rose reached for the doorframe. The hinges clicked after she positioned herself facing the man who had been calling impatiently. "You're taking so long." The stifled protest from the owner of the deep, raspy voice uploaded a barely perceptible smile on Rose's lips. "Sorry, Axe. I h

    "Open your eyes, Theo." The throbbing was still as loud as it had been the first time Theo had spoken. Rose's heart and head were fighting each other. Each fighting for the space that overlapped the boundaries she had created for herself. In between came a strange feeling, which Rose could not organize into a symphony. She was a jumbled mess of randomness. Should have reconsidered Xelle's sentence a moment ago, was it true that Rose was trying to stay with someone who made her get lost in her own feelings? .... No, she wasn't. Rose didn't want to be confused by all that reality. As far as possible, she separated the things that shouldn't be lodged in the deepest corner of her heart. Towards a kind of choice which is the most appropriate to win Rose's sanity. She didn't want to be conquered. "Wake up. Get up, Theo!" Rose squeezed the clay muscles in her husband's arm. Turning the curled up body to face the ceiling of the main room. "T

    "What conclusion?" A look of unequal color narrowed sarcastically. Rose's face was lifted a little roughly until she looked up and stared at each other. "It's so bad that even saying his name scares Oracle. And you say he didn't mean it?" Xelle's whisper was like a spark of fire. Quite disturbing if Rose had to admit it. She brushed off the lingering link of fingers, though Xelle's actions were not hurtful. "Theo didn't mean to. I was the one who misplaced the Oracle in our midst," Rose argued, not realizing how the blind finally blinked. "You're defending him, Rose?" Rose swallowed harshly. The glint in her eyes flickered quickly. "I'm not. It's just that you don't understand. I told you, that Theo did that out of his control. He had a nightmare last night." Rose held back the lump in the back of her throat. "You know I love Oracle, Axe, he's my son too. But please don't make a mess here. I've seen my husband hurt enough times. Not anymore. P

    "Oracle, are you sure you want to go straight home? Not wait for Om T to wake up first?" Oracle's rejection firmly dispelled the offer Rose had repeatedly made. Rose's breath rushed out, lips pressed together thinly. She contemplated everything that had not and would happen. In front of her, from a distance Rose had guessed what Xelle's reaction would be, if the blue bruise on Oracle's conspicuously elastic bandage—covered wrist caught the heterochromia's eye. As slow as a leaf combing Rose changed position. Towering high, she awaited the quick approach of the one who was now beside her. "Daddy." The thin curve of the lips responded to Oracle's greeting. A neat knit of eyebrows rose with Xelle's sharp eyes scrutinizing. He took a deep look at Rose's face, then turned back to the first focal point. His large body knelt down, light as a feather to reach for Oracle's small fingers—noticing carefully the cloth wrapped densely... breaking the suspi

    "Travis." Rose pushed her way in, making the man behind the ledger jump. "Sorry, Travis. I was in a hurry." "What is it, Miss?" The light question came after Travis closed the thin sheet marked with a string. "Do you have any painkillers or anything to treat the bruises on Oracle's hands? Theo just had a nightmare and accidentally did this to him. I'm scared if anything happens." Travis's eyebrows shot up. "Mr.T just had a nightmare?" he asked. In stark contrast to Rose's haste. Travis was too calm to notice the extent of the bruise. "No need to worry, miss. You'd better see the master, I'll treat him." Travis smiled. She hesitated between refusing or agreeing. Rose glared at Travis and Oracle's faces in turn. She blinked. "Are you sure there's nothing to worry about?" "Yes, Miss. I can handle it. You should see the master. He may need you." Stunned, considering things from all angles. Rose finally sighe

    "Uncle T, you hurt me. Let me go!" "Uncle T!" Rose tried to understand the situation in the dim room. Faint squeals of pain clashed in the air. Rose frowned, as the almost uninterrupted movement in its entirety pulled her closed brown eyes wide open. In front of Rose several black events were fully recorded, broadcasting the silhouette of a rough resistance along with a small body that was trying hard to pull himself out of the grip of the subconscious. Rose's heart hammered violently. All the chaos overlapped to form ornaments in her head. She took definite steps, quickly bringing half the darkness to light. And then some things that Rose couldn't digest properly, appeared in a heap, jolting her feelings. On that torture—like bed .... Oracle was completely unable to resist the strong grip that could be seen from the muscles digging into the surface of the large, clayey, man—sized arms of the person there. The
