Loraine’s Pov“How do you know me and why do you know me from before?” I asked, and could hear the loud thump of my heart while I was speaking to him.Would this be the time that I would find out more about my bloodline?Klein smiled and shook his head. “This isn’t your time to know more about your bloodline. However, I can assure you my loyalty and faithfulness. It is your parents who have worked hard to show you this world and want you to live an ordinary life.”I couldn’t help but furrow at his words. “What do you mean by that?”“That is exactly what I mean. Your parents want the best for you, but the people around you want to harm you. You should be careful who you want to put your trust in, especially if they already know that you are still alive and want to get you for your blood.” Klein calmly said while letting out a sigh.The more he speaks, the more confused I become.“What do they want from me? And what’s up with my blood? Why are they so obsessed with it? What’s so special
THIRD PERSON'S POV“Damn it! Loraine here, Loraine there! All he could talk about was Loraine! Why can't that fucking bitch die?!” Pauline angrily screamed to her heart's content as she threw the things on her table, making her maids flinch and one of them even cried when the fragment of the broken piece of the case had scraped her cheeks, leading to it to bleed.Hearing her scream and cry, Pauline looked at that woman with fury.She walked towards her and unhesitatingly grabbed her hair, making her yelp from pain.“Bitch, what the fuck are you crying for?!” Pauline angrily asked while she tightened the grip of her hands that was clenching on the maid's hair.The maid cried and trembled, not even daring to look at her in the eyes as she begged for mercy.“I-I'm sorry... I-I'm sorry... it hurts... it really hurts...”Pauline sneered and pushed her back on the floor, not even caring whether she would break her bones or not.“Get out of my sight! You're fired!” Pauline angrily shouted.T
Loraine's PovA week had already passed ever since I was sent to prison by Pauline and in those weeks, all I could say was that my life had never been so peaceful.I thought that Pauline would start messing with me after I was rescued by Aaron, but this week, I have never seen her face.Which is good.I should enjoy these peaceful days because I know that sooner or later, she will start appearing in front of me and start messing with me.Who knows what she is up to next time?“Loraine, have you thought about it?” Anna asked, bringing me back to reality.I helplessly sighed and shook my head. “No, I haven't.”“But isn't this good?” I saw the way her eyes sparkled. “This is only one time experienced! We can only experience this only once a year! Why not join us? Isn't it said that even maids are allowed to attend?”I shook my head. “Yes, but I think I won't go. Other than I don't have clothes to wear, I don't think that it's fit for me to socialize with other people that, in their eyes,
Loraine's PovTonight would be the night that the ball would start. However, before that, Aaron had visited me while Anna was doing my make-over.I glanced at him and raised my brows while letting Anna put lipstick on me.“What are you doing here?” I communicated with him using a mind-link.He smiled and answered, “I came here to fetch you.”I frowned. “I don't want to appear with you.”Hearing this, he couldn't help but frown and his eyes darkened. “Why not?”I gave him a look. “Do you want my reputation to be tarnished even more? Are you pretending to be oblivious of the rumors circulating about me?”“I told you that you shouldn't worry about that. If you're worried, I will give you an order that anyone who speak to you will face some consequences.” He coldly said with his brows pressed together.I gritted my teeth and looked at him in annoyance. “It seems that you really don't understand anything. I think it would be better for you to appear with your fiancée instead of me. Otherwi
Loraine's PovI glanced at Klein who was holding a wine glass, twirling it in his hands and, from time to time, he would sip on it while watching the events with amusement. However, I know that it was just a disguise.Upon sensing me looking at him, his gaze landed on me and he wiggled his brows.I smiled at him, and then swiftly excused myself from the ball. They didn't notice that I had left either, and besides, when I went there to see, all I could see was their contempt for them, some of them just looked at me nonchalantly, some minded their own business, and the others were clearly looking at me like I was a clown.But it didn't matter much anyway. It is a good thing too, since the more they wanted to leave me out of the event, the more that they wouldn't notice that I had just left.After I left the event along with Klein, who drank the wine in a big gulp, then threw the glass right after, he lowered his necktie and started walking along with me.“The child?” I asked.Klein smil
Loraine's PovI walked towards Shun and bent my knees. I raised my head and patted his head.“You don't have to beg, we will do everything to save your brother, to save all of you.” I calmly said despite the tremors in my voice.I glanced at Klein and nodded my head at him.I looked at the children who were looking at us with innocence and their eyes were filled with confusion despite the doubts earlier.So innocent. Too naive.What if we were just pretending to save them? Would they easily believe it too?I couldn't help but feel pain upon seeing them look at us with innocence, with hope, despite that they have suffered enough to leave a trauma on every part of their bodies.I bit my lower lip and suppressed my anger. I tried my best to soften my voice because I didn't want to frighten them.I gave them a warm smile as I softly said to them. “Can you follow this big brother?” I asked while pointing to Klein who was standing and added, “heWill take you out.”They looked at me with in
Loraine's Pov“What a foolish woman. Protecting those kids won't bring you good.” Belinda's father, Benedict, had said while sneering at me.I glared at him. “What a foolish official. Harming these kids won't bring you good. If this act spreads outside, who knows what would happen to you?”Benedict let out a ‘pfft’ laugh. “That is, if I let you get out of here alive after knowing too much.”I looked at Shun who was trembling while hugging his brother and when he saw me looking at him, he looked at me with reddened eyes.“I... I don't want to die..."“You won't.”“I don't want my brother to die...”“I won't let it happen.”“B... But I don't want you to get hurt.” He softly said, making my expression soften.I couldn't help but smile at his words. I raised my hand and patted his head. “Be a good boy and close your eyes. No matter what you feel and what would happen, don't open your eyes unless I say so okay? Do you trust me?”Shun pursed himself and nodded his head. “Just don't get hurt
Loraine's PovI left the place along with the kids and went back to Klein's house where he temporarily left the other kids too.After we arrived, I gently laid Adrian, Shun's brother, onto the couch and made sure that he was comfortable.“Can I open my eyes now? I felt safe in this place. I don't think there's a fight going on,” Shun had said, with a soft, childish voice.Ah right, I remembered that I told him to close his eyes.I let out a soft chuckle and patted his head. “Okay, okay, you can open your eyes now. We're back.”Soon after, the other five kids swarmed towards my direction and their eyes were curiously looking at Adrian, then they looked at me with a hint of confusion.“Is Adrian okay now? His complexion is good.” One of them asked while pointing at Adrian's face.I smiled and nodded my head. “Yes, he's okay now. How about all of you? Is your wound still hurting?”I glanced at those who were well-dressed, and it seemed that the reason why Klein got late was because he dr
