How could this warm and broad back belong to Jay? Carrying her to Josephine’s rented apartment, he sent the latter a quick text stating, ‘Sis Angeline’s eyes have gone blind. Return quickly to take care of her.’Josephine did not reply, not even after a long while. Unable to leave a blind Angeline alone in the apartment, Jay decided to stay and take care of her. He poured Angeline tea and made her food. Filtering through the lavender cologne he had sprayed on himself, Angeline found the scent of him left behind in the room. It solidified the idea that Jay was indeed right there. As they ate, Angeline spoke, sounding touched, “Can I touch your face? You’ve spent the better half of an entire day taking care of me and I’d like to know what my savior looks like.” The cutleries in Jay’s hands fell onto the table as he nervously came up with a way to respond to Angeline’s small request. Standing up, he took silent steps toward the coffee table and picked up the scissors sittin
Jay left without a sound. Zayne rushed over to the apartment to find Angeline sitting straight on the sofa. With her eyes unfocused, she looked blank and lost. Zayne found his legs almost giving out at the sight. “Angel.” Zayne staggered forward. Hearing Zayne’s voice, Angeline stood excitedly. “He came, didn’t he, Zayne?” Zayne was rooted in place.Then, he smiled bashfully. “I don’t know. All I know is that I received an anonymous tip telling me to pick you up from here. So I came.” Angeline was feeling a rush of adrenaline coursing through her. “It must be him. He pretended to be mute and even sprayed the lavender cologne he hated the most just to hide his identity from me.” Angeline’s tears began to fall. “He must have come to help me when he heard that my eyes can’t see anymore through the phone. But I don’t get it. Why would he push me away so ruthlessly if he can’t let go of me?” Zayne uttered out, “Let's go take you to the doctor, okay, Angel? Let’s go take a loo
Grayson’s expression turned grim. Arriving at the castle, two lines of beautiful ladies approached and helped Angeline inside. Angeline felt impatient. “I thought we were signing documents, Grayson? Where have you brought me?” Grayson replied politely, “Give me a moment. I’ll retrieve the documents.” The ladies helped Angeline to the study as Grayson placed the divorce papers in front of her. Then, he handed her a pen. Angeline’s heart broke. Holding the pen, she found herself unable to summon the courage to sign her name at all. “Tell me the contents of the divorce agreement, Grayson,” she suddenly spoke. Grayson felt uneasy. Angeline spoke again, “He has a huge family and his own business. Money is bound to get involved in this divorce. Not to mention our three kids. I have to know what happens to them.” Grayson replied, “The president leaves all three children under your care.” Angeline’s expression froze. “Does he not want any of them? Not even one?” Angelin
Zayne stared uneasily at the clock on the wall. Josephine sat on the bed, her hands tied behind her back. After the nth time of turning to look at the wall, Josephine could not help but tease him. “This is already the 99th time you’ve looked at the clock, Zayne. Do you want to hug it? Maybe even live the rest of your life with the clock?” Zayne sat anxiously next to her. “Josephine, what if I tell you that tonight’s the night of Doomsday’s and Tourmaline Estate’s battle? What would you—” Josephine’s eyes widened with fear at the implications of his words. She began to yell and scream, “Let me out. I need to go.” Zayne was taken aback by her sudden outburst. “Josephine, I just said maybe—” Josephine began to struggle against the ties. “What if this maybe becomes a reality, Zayne? That means I’ll never get to see my family ever again after tonight. You’re taking away my last chance to say goodbye, Zayne! How could you be so merciless? You monster!” Zayne felt his mind cr
Staring at Zayne, Josephine found that there was nothing but shock on his attractive features, not even an ounce of anger between his brows. Josephine crawled over to him and pleaded. “Please, Zayne. I’ve never begged much of you, so please, just this once, can’t you just let me fulfill this wish of mine?” Tears streamed freely from Zayne’s eyes. “I would do anything to fulfill any other wish of yours, Josephine. But how am I supposed to say yes when you’re asking me to kill yourself?” Josephine replied, “I’m not afraid of dying, Zayne. I’m really not. If anything, death is more of an escape for me.” Zayne burst into anger. “Do you even hear yourself? How could you be so ruthless as to ask for death in front of me? Tell me, what did I risk my life for when you’re not even going to cherish your life?”Josephine’s eyes widened. “What are you talking about?” Zayne was extremely despondent. “I don’t know what I’m talking about either, Josephine. I’m probably just going crazy f
Large bats circled the air above Tourmaline Estate. Each was equipped with a radar-like device that swept over every corner of the estate. It left the living things within the estate nowhere to hide. Ray after ray of death engulfed the living like charges of electricity, burning them into crisp corpses. Within the Fragrant Vessel Court. In the dining room, the corners of Jay’s lips tugged into a beautiful smile as he stared at the fainted members of his family. This was his last dinner with them. To ensure that they would not obstruct his plans, Jay had laced their dinner with fake poison. “People, have them brought to the biochemical coffins.”“Yes, Sir.” The originally narrow tunnel from Fragrant Vessel Court to the Underground Palace had widened greatly thanks to the all-nighter pulled to work on it. Arriving at the Underground Palace, Jay watched over as his people placed Grandfather and everyone else into the biochemical coffins. He closed the coffins himself.
Alas, the guards of Tourmaline Estate did not fare as well as Jay Ares. By the hands of the Doomsday Organization, broken necks, dismembered limbs, and separated torsos splayed all over the place... it was a gruesome sight. Right at that moment, a special bat-like aircraft landed and a man in a white-hooded cloak descended from it. The Spiriter immediately approached to report. “The radar has shown a total of 1780 deaths within Tourmaline Estate, Young Master, out of a total of 1990 mortality cards.”“There are still 206 of them left inside. Get rid of them.” As usual, the young master gave a curt order. “Find me the identities of the dead.” Jay’s heart chilled. There should be 210 people left. Considering 1780 out of 1990 members of the Tourmaline Estate had died, who were the four members left? “Cole Yorks!” Jay suddenly yelled. “You can’t hide from me!” The man in the white cloak and white fox-shaped mask walked over. “Being too intelligent is a sin, Jay Ares. Wou
Sitting in his battle aircraft, Cole took off his fox-shaped mask and looked down at Tourmaline Estate. Like a winner staring at his opponent from above, a victorious smile flared in his eagle-like eyes. “All of you will pay for the death of Aunt Chloe, Jay Ares.” Bats took off from the ground at the same time and began to fly around the estate, raining beads of concentrated biochemical weaponry. Meanwhile, Jay’s tank went mad like a demon who had finally been released after being locked away for millennia, firing high caliber bombs from its back as it crashed recklessly within the estate. After losing hundreds of tanks to the bats, Jay initiated self-destruct on his. “May the glory of Tourmaline Estate be remembered in history.” Jay’s eyes glistened with stubborn tears. “Boom!” Like large planets crashing, Tourmaline Estate exploded. Red hot flames burst in the air while pieces of tinder joined and fueled the sea of fire. Cole gaped in shock with wide eyes as he star
