“And then she ran out of the room screaming ‘Ghost ghost!’” Alya laughed. “She thinks I’m a ghost!”
“Serves her right!” Alina exclaimed. “But is she leaving?”
“She’ll need one more push I think,” Alya said thoughtfully. “But she’s really scared! I think I can drive her out tonight.”
“I’ve heard Uncle Jason is gonna let her stay the night,” Alina scowled. It was past lunchtime and as usual, Alina was served lunch in her room. Jason was downstairs doing some wo

She was cautious of the faintest sound, jumping in fright even at the slightest brush of air. After what happened that day, Jocelyn was scared for her life.Someone wanted her out of that house but who? Why would they want to get rid of her?Did someone find out about the stolen objects? She wondered. But how was that possible? If someone did find out, then they would have told the head Butler. Yet, that person remained quiet. Gulping hard, Jocelyn proceeded to walk towards the living room. I should watch some television series to get my mind off things.The house was eerily silent.

Jason was shocked to see the bruises on Alina’s legs. There were old ones and also fresh ones, indicating she had been beaten up in a span of weeks.

“I’m Alya!” she chirped. “I ran into Alina a few days ago and she brought me to your house.”Jason eyed her with suspicion. “Why did you convince my niece to let you stay in my house?” he demanded. “Where’s your home? Why aren’t you living there? Where’s your guardian?”“I don’t have a home,” the girl simply shrugged. Jason was not sure if the woman was lying or plain naive.“How did you end up at my party?” he questioned her. “And…”To Alya’s surprise, he grabbed her hands to check something but she jerked her wrists away. Jason briefly glimpsed some burn marks on them which he did no
Pearl of his Heart Finding Her
“Sheila…”Jason was still trying to wrap his head around what he had just seen. All these revelations and mysteries were too much to take. Alya witnessed his parents’ deaths? She was in the car with them? Why? How?He racked his brain to try and recall anything he could before that accident but nothing happened. He had also lost those memories. Was it all a coincidence? Both of them losing the memories of an accident they were involved in so many years ago?But Sheila died protecting this girl. Jason was still not forgiving his sister but he could not overlook her desperation either.“I have to find her!” he exclaimed and got off the bed. He rushed past Yang who was on his

Jason bought rice cakes, tomato flavored instant noodles and braised tofu from a store nearby. He asked the cashier to heat them up before striding over to his car to hand them to Alya who was sitting inside. She was excited to get her hands on the food and immediately began to chow down on the noodles with a plastic fork. “Don’t you dare spill anything on the car’s floor!” he warned. “I won’t!” she promised and slowed down to eat carefully. He sighed and drove off. “Will you recognize those men?” he asked. “The ones who killed Sheila?” “I can!” she replied. “If they come in front of me, I can recognize them.” Jason pondered over her words.

The building was the tallest one she had ever seen and she craned her neck to see the top but all she saw was that the building disappeared into the clouds. Alina stood next to her, snickering while David only sighed.He had followed Jason’s instructions and brought them shopping at one of the malls Jason owned. All throughout the ride, Alya had pointed at places and asked him about them which was quite an arduous task. The girl was excited about every little thing as if she had seen them for the first time.

Alina had a growth spurt over the past three years.

Jason and Cain sped towards the factory. Cain was on the phone with his men, giving them instructions.“My men just informed me that Heath Seo was spotted outside that factory we’re heading to,” Cain told him. “How did you know he’d be there?”“I just do,” Jason muttered. Cain was suspicious but he did not ask anything else. He had filled in Jason about what happened at the Tang mansion that morning and even though Jason was tense, he was also worried about Maxwell.“Looks like grandfather took this well,” he muttered.“Well, he never really liked my mother in the first place so he wasn’t too sad seeing her leave,” Cain remarked.

Jason pulled up in front of a restaurant when he suddenly felt the familiar sensation in his heart.“Agh!” he winced when his chest became cold. He was gasping for breath and closed his eyes to lay his head on the steering wheel.“What the hell?” he muttered. “Why is that sensation happening again?”He touched his heart and it was colder than the earlier attacks. Jason was sure that it was a warning sign and that Alya was in immense danger. Flashes of her running through the rain were popping in his head.“Why is she outside?” he whispered. He was so engrossed in his pain that he did not notice a familiar Maybach pulling up behind his car. There was a knock on his window and to his surprise, it was Cain.

A small dockyard was situated at the end of the place where a few ships were anchored.The workers had gone home for the day because the sun was setting. The gloomy clouds hovered in the sky, indicating that it was going to rain that night. Monty looked around for Jenna and finally spotted her standing a few meters away.

Malorie quietly followed Cain to the patio and waited for him to talk. He was quiet for a while before turning to face her.“You should have told me about this,” he began. “That my mom was threatening you. We could have worked something out.”“I wanted to find our child first,” she replied in a small tone. “If I had told you, she might have gotten alerted and killed Billy. I couldn’t take the risk.”Cain stared at her for a while before sighing. “We’re both idiots,” he muttered. “We talk about being on our own but in the end, we let my parents manipulate us…”Malorie was staring at her fingers, unable to understand what to do. So many things had happened and it was going too fast.
