Finn does not want to believe what Sherly said. He cannot fathom to believe that Diana did not leave him, but instead, she died.And who killed her?Him?No way.He loves her so much that even if long years passed by, it was always her.However, after Sherly told him the truth, Finn saw the illusion in his hands, which he believed made the crime that he had long forgotten.‘It was you who killed her, Finn.’ “No! It wasn’t me! I didn’t kill Diana!”‘Then how will you explain the blood in your hands? Did you really forget what you did that night?’ “I don’t know! I said I forgot it! Stop bugging me!”‘Alright. Let’s say it wasn’t really you. It’s me, the person who always saved you.’ “Just who are you? Get out of my head!”As Finn shouted loudly inside his car, the voice inside his head stopped. Catching his breath, he looked around. He didn’t notice that he already arrived in front of Elona’s condominium building.“T-That’s right. Maybe, I am just stressed,” Finn said with bullets of
Cris visited Marie for the first time after Marie recovered from her injuries. The two of them cried a lot while hugging, and the flower that Cris brought almost crashed. When they finished crying, they laughed at each other. “Thank you for the flower, Cris.” “I wanted to get your favorite flower, Lisianthus. But it was so expensive. So, I only bought Lily instead.” Marie looked at the bouquet of Lilies in her hands. Then, she smiled. “Maybe I really have an expensive taste. It sucks that I wasn’t born rich.” “Then, I will pray that you'll be born rich next time.” Marie stared at her friend who has soggy eyes. She could really tell that Cris got worried about her. “But not now. You should not die.” With tears, Marie laughed. “I won’t. They said bad grass doesn't die easily.” “You are bad grass? Are you still blaming yourself for bullying Miss Harriet? You had no choice. You need money for your young brother.” “That’s what I thought too. That I am innocent. But you know, when
‘I didn’t imagine that I will be here.’ I couldn’t believe that I, who had never stolen a dollar from someone else’s pocket in my past life, came to a racetrack like this. It is a place for villainess.Entering the racetrack with Zion, I tried to calm my thumping heart down in front of a dreary racetrack. It was usual to see heavy gambles among the crowds as everyone wanted to win and bet their last to survive or just to have fun.With ticket on my hand, I looked around.‘It’s crowded.’ “Harriet.”I looked at Zion who called me in the middle of the noisy stadium.“Don’t walk carelessly. You almost lost your way before.”Zion was right. Finding the racetrack where Ian Jack always goes to, was very difficult. But thanks to Zion skills in getting information, we found it. To get here, we entered a basement of a large pottery shop, then we went to the back alleys with many people that follow along deep passages leading to the racetrack.I almost lost because of the crowds. Zion barely g
So far, everything became peaceful after Reese went to prison. There will be a trial next week, I had to make sure to attend that and see her behind bars for real.On the other side, Cris reported that Madell wasn’t moving yet. Then, Sherly was staying home.However, Finn was so mad when he heard that Ian Jack lost the 1.5% shares in Fantell. He was aiming for that share just like the original future, and was taken aback that I got it instead.Either way, on a peaceful day such as today, I, Cassius, father and the Chairman met in a restaurant to celebrate my success in getting the shares.“For Nadia’s first share in Fantell,” Grandpa Sorren said while raising his juices.The four of us raised our glasses and said, “Cheers!”We took a sip on our beverages. And when glasses were down, we all smiled at each other. However, the smile on my lips disappeared when I saw the empty seat beside Cassius.We surely invited Zion to come. As he was part of this too. But Zion said that he is busy, a
While I was chasing Reese, I had these thoughts:Everything that happened in the future, where I came from, might also happen in this time. Two parallel worlds connected to each other with inevitable destinies.Someone will try to kill Sorren.Someone will frame me.I will die.Ever since I came back, I kept on preventing all of these from happening. But as I said before, they were inevitable destinies that cannot be changed unless I found the culprit.‘Which means that if I succeed in eradicating the person who will try to kill Grandpa and I, the red thread that keeps me tied with death will fade.’ Therefore, as my eyes glued at the woman galloping in front of me, I was determined to get her into my hands.Reese and I sprinted down the never ending alley, not knowing where this chasing would take us. All she wanted was to get away from me. But I wouldn’t back down.“Come back here!” I shouted, even though I knew that she wouldn’t think of listening to my voice.Because once I catch
Harriet looked at Cassius as he put a band-aid on her scratch.The person who used to hate being touched had wiped her blood and tended her wound. Harriet could not believe that he is the man she met in New York.Sensing the gaze, Cassius asked, “You’ll make a hole in my head.” He lifted his head and met her eyes. “If you are going to say something, say it.”Harriet smiled a bit. She pulled her arm and looked at the band-aid as she gave her response.“I thought you're gonna nag me again.”“I already did it before,” Cassius answered. He stood up and sat next to her. “It’s not like you’d listen if I do it again. You are always stubborn.”“If you meet me in the future where I came from, you might change your perception. I wasn’t stubborn. I always listen to the people around me. But after I died, I loose some screws in my head. But, in a positive way.”Cassius chuckled as he shook his head.“That does not mean that you should die again.”They turned their heads to each other.What Cassiu
“Someone out there! Let me out!” Sherly shouted.Every time she slammed onto the door, the maids who were guarding outside her room flinched.“If you don’t open this, you’re all dead!” Sherly threatened.One of the maids felt really scared at Sherly’s warning. She moved towards the door while holding the key to the lock. But before she could unlock it, someone stopped her. It was Maid Cris.Cris shook her head as if to tell her that she should not open Sherly’s room.Even though Sherly is their superior, they cannot go against Finn’s order.The order is clear.[“My wife is out of her mind. Don’t let her escape from her room.”]If any of them goes against Finn’s order, then they will be in danger.Therefore, the frightened maid only walked backward and endured hearing Sherly’s shout.Sighing, Cris stared at the door of the room.Inside the room, Sherly was sitting behind the door. She was catching her breath as she was tired shouting and slamming the door.On the floor, Sherly looked a
One night, years ago, when the rain was pouring hard and thunder cracked the sky, Sorren got out of his car. Harriet took him inside the mansion with an umbrella. “Chairman, please change your clothes as soon as you go inside. You might catch a cold.” Sorren looked at the young lady who was also soaked in rain. Laughing, he responded, “You should go and take a bath, my dear. You look more vulnerable than me.” Harriet only chuckled. “Go on. Hurry and change. This old man will take care of himself,” Sorren said. “Then, I will go now. Please rest well, Chairman.” “Harriet, didn’t I tell you not to call me in that endearment when we are inside the mansion?” Smiling, Harriet said, “Sorry, grandpa.” The Chairman patted Harriet’s head. Harriet bowed her head and then walked back to her room. Chuckling, the chairman was about to head over his office when he saw the mud on the floor. Along with it, there was Finn’s secretary who was cleaning the mud. “Hey,” Sorren called. The secr
