“DON’T tell me that you are being maltreated because of what happened?”

Monique said and almost screaming out of the blue which surprises Cole and put Cedric at the edge with his angry expression and sure enough, offended by her words.

“What?” Cedric screams and pointed his finger toward Monique. “Are you out of your mind? Where do those words come from? And how does your brain work for saying such a thing?”

The conversation that a bit turning like how adults fight. Monique’s expression is screaming that she is not even slightly convinced of anything. Adding the irritation that Cedric is about to blow any moment now. Cole felt that he is between a couple that was starting to bicker with each other.

“You do not have to hide it. I can see it all in these two eyes of mine.”

Monique still insisted what she is thinking is the fact and the case that she is seeing around Cedric. Which does not help and puts a lot of misconception and puffing angry expression on Cedric’s face. While on the

    “WE can do that,”Cedric replies after collecting himself and faces the twins with his usual expression minus the flustered face that caught him unguarded by Monique’s smile. “Can I take that as your promise to not be a bully anymore?”Somehow Monique’s assuring question not just for the two of them of Cole, but also the rest of the kids in their academy. “Tsk!” Yet, Cedric smirks, cross his arms, folded in front, and smugly said. “I didn’t say much. Besides, I do not believe in promises.”The boy’s words and premise that Monique and her smarty brain immediately realize what Cedric means by those words. His honesty reflected how his life is with the kind of family that he has and the name that he bears. “Everyone has their own story. All you need to do is look carefully and listen. In that way, you will understand them and even how their mind works.”Monique remembers Cath’s words. Advice that she didn’t understand that closely at that moment, but now she thinks that she just did.

    “WH-WHO’S boyfriend?”Sam’s jaw almost drops, while Cath is flustered in surprise at what just Cole told them. With Monique’s reddened ears and pouting lips, the little girl looks at their parents and almost screams in her protest. “No, I didn’t have one! It came from Cedric.”“Cedric?”Cath asks puzzled, then chuckles and smiles in a teasing manner that Monique cried from their misunderstanding. “Are kids allowed to court these days?”Sam added, teasing his daughter that quickly understand what had happened which his innocent son Cole might just misinterpret. “Well, Cedric is a handsome boy if you look at it. You two as a pair is not bad at all.”Cath seconded, riding along that the two of them Sam is laughing as they both tease the little girl. “No!” Monique denies it. Both hands clasped and expression that is blushing red with anger.“You are both wrong. Cedric is not my boyfriend, nor he is courting me in any way. Cole just misinterpreted things all. Besides you two should be

    “EVERYTHING is taken care of. Be careful Cath.”Lindsey’s worry and blessing. A bit unnecessary for the part of worrying about Cath, knowing that among them who are present that evening. Cath is the only person who can pull everything perfectly. “I will.”Cath assures Lindsey and only took a glance and fast towards the now sleeping Sam in the hotel room that they took with the alibi that it is for the twins. All for the precautions and the unnecessary suspicion that should be avoided by the Governor and his companions. “Right now, or never.” She then closes the door and meets the employee of the hotel that they paid by a lonesome for their plan to be placed perfectly as possible. “This way.”Immediately leading her inside the employee’s dressing room where not more than one CCTV camera is installed. The only ones are all been hacked by Jun from outside. Cath is handed the hotel’s chambermaid uniform. “Guard the doorway for a while.”Cath’s command, having been in the same situati

    “YOU, stop right there.”Her heart beats fast and sweat forms on Cath’s forehead after being told to stop on her way by the Vixen whose nose is just like her title depicted her to be. ‘DAMN! WHAT NOW?’Her worry and thoughts, knowing how the Vixen mind works, and her suspicion are not unlikely for her to have. “You came from the penthouse, right?”The question that Cath expected and at the same time not. Not at all by the very least, for none of them is expecting that this Vixen in front of her will show up casually with the elegance and façade that she is known to be. “Cleaning?”Cath could feel the menacing stare that the Vixen is directing at her with her eyes. Yet, she couldn’t just look back at her nor is allowed to do so as an employee and an acting chambermaid of the hotel. She kind of glad and thank about, for having the perfect excuse to not look at the Vixen who is now standing in front of her. “I did ma’am, the owner requested it. “She casually said and informed, which

Gideon.”“It’s such an honor that the Chairman of the RD corporation is here and greeting me on this special day.”Charles’s wife gladly accepted the gesture, while on the other hand, Adriella just pops the Governor’s bubble by not responding to his greeting and ends up casually smiling to save some face in front of the crowd. “The also is also mine.”“I see that you’ve been preoccupied lately, but we are glad that you still got the time to accept our invitation today.”The Governor’s rebuke, but casually did so without anyone noticing a thing or two. With the fact that there is an existing heavy atmosphere between the two of them of the Chairman of the most influential and powerful Corporation in the State. “I believe my daughter, son-in-law, and daughter-in-law, already infor

Somehow, they are destined to be at each other’s throats, yet they needed to be civil to each other, especially since eyes are watching their every move. “And I guess you do so yourself Miss. Lawrence.”Aaron’s spiteful words that Lindsey casually smiles and rebukes. “Yes, I am quite known for that characteristic of mine. But you see, I usually play like this with my words in front of the people that shouldn’t be trusted.”“Tsk!”Aaron smirked and that somehow caught into a conversational fight that he highly does, no, he never did and on the contrary, be the very first against the younger sister of his rival. “To trust someone or not.” He started to play with his words while looking at Lindsey in a threatening way. “I see that you kn

I do not have any grudge against you nor hated you even a bit. But just like you, I will do everything to protect that person that I love the most.”“Tsk!”‘DOES HE KNEW?’The words that immediately registered inside Lindsey’s mind. Added with the fear that made her entire body shiver and is continuing as for the moment.“The person who did everything to find the one that he promises to be with? Or the one who causes a tragic death from the past?”Aaron’s words that kept on repeating for a while now inside her mind. Worst it is not a reminder nor as simple as it could be and by which she wanted for it to be and think about. But it is a warning that Lindsey couldn’t just ignore just like that.“That damn person.”She curses and inappropriately and not the ways and things that she usually does. But then, Lindsey cou

All together as she felt her entire body pause for a second than weakens from hearing those words from Sam.“What night?”She acted like she didn’t know. With her back turn away from her brother, she clenches her hand and calms herself, not to be notice by him. Especially after the conversation that she just had with Aaron.“You knew what I am talking about, Lindsey.”Sam’s gloomy tone then followed by anger with his hand into a tight fist that doesn’t escape Lindsey’s observant nature.“Are you still having that nightmare until now?”“No.”He didn’t hesitate and quickly responded. Yet, Lindsey knew a bit and two from the way Sam is hiding his face with the palm of his hand and somehow having a headache.“It’s the first time after years. The first time since Cath came back.”“You should rest.”Lindsey could only suggest. Honestly didn’t want to talk about it any longer than they a

Left alone in the headmistress office and at first glance they are seem to share a casual tea time. He looks down, not in shame, but a bit of worry from how things unfolded. Which makes him think if he is regretting his decision of giving Cath a clue about the past.“Or should I call you now with your known name, Aaron?”“Tell me, do you hate me that much after what you have learn, Cath?”“Hate you?

Francis stands before Cath, with his gun up a bit shaking from his wound, but directly pointing it towards her. “I may stupidly fail at first, but this time I will not fail to end your life.
