She frowned. “Stop! Why are you telling me this now?"
“I am afraid of some men at your work. At school, I can build up a fence against other guys. But here in this hospital? I have no access here. It is hard to keep an eye on you these days. I have been feeling uneasy recently. That is why I had to tell you now. Please don't look at other guys."
She was stupefied for a couple of seconds. Her fists and jaw clenched as her anger rose at what she just heard. What gives him the right to do that?

It was as if there were butterflies in Lesley's stomach as she made her way down the hall to Bangs' room. Her heart beats with excitement as she walks towards the ward with the red door. She comes here every day but only now does she feel such excitement and joy. Even at school earlier, she was caught spacing out several times by her classmates. All because she can not stop thinking of Bangs, or should she call him Kieran? When she reached his ward, she tried to hide the smile that had been squeezing her lips since she arrived at the hospital. She does not want to look weird in front of Bangs when he sees her smile for no reason. She finally opened the door and walked in. "Bangs! I'm here—" She could not continue to greet him when she saw him unconscious on the floor. Without hesitation, she stepped inside the yellow line and knelt in front of Bangs, and then she slowly pulled back the long hair that covered his face. “Oh my go— Ba-bangs, wake up! What happened here?!" She grima

Her heart almost went out of her ribcage. She can not take any more of this side of him today. This is too much for her weak heart. She may like him, but there are lines they can not cross. She does not regret that they kissed, but she can not let that happen again, especially now that they are closely watched. "Th-that's enough teasing! Come on, brush your teeth now." She checked her to-do list for today and was surprised at the last note. Shane wrote it. Be sure to inject the drug on the table to prepare him for the experiment later. She almost crumpled the paper in irritation. Later?! Will they experiment with Bangs again today?! Didn’t they do enough this morning? Bangs' body can't handle it if this continues! They are really overdoing it! She flinched when Bangs held her trembling hands in anger. She calmed down slightly and looked at him gently. "Why did you stand up? Your body is still weak." He held out his left hand, and it was holding the syringe from Shane's note

Against her will, Lesley did not go to school today to talk to her rebellious older brother. Amanda forced her to, or otherwise, she will be thrown out of the house. It is upsetting, but she still sees them as family. She does not want to be the reason for them to fall apart like this, especially now that she knows what drives Amanda's anger toward her. Her real family killed Patrick's father and grandparents. She knew that the child should not pay for their parent's sin, but she still had a guilty conscience and wanted to make up for all the grief Amanda had experienced. She somehow feels responsible for what happened to them even though she is entirely innocent. Before Amanda left for the salon where she works, she asked why she took her in if her real family murdered hers. Amanda said that she took her to save herself and Patrick. She became even more confused by that answer, so she followed it with more questions. But Amanda got infuriated again and threatened not to ask any

Now that Patrick looks like he is back to his usual self, Amanda will surely be delighted. Hopefully, this will repair some broken parts of their relationship. She made Patrick very happy and needs to be content with that. Her mother promised to treat her better if she did this. Her chest tightened as Bangs suddenly came into her mind. The chance of them having a future together as lovers are becoming more blurry than it already is. But even if she has a boyfriend now, she will keep her promise. She will not abandon him. She will still look for a way to save him from that hell called MNA. The afternoon had come. She was getting ready to go to work when someone suddenly hugged her from behind. "Don't go," Patrick whispered in her ear as he hugged her even tighter. The hairs on her body stood up. She calms herself and makes sure not to show how uncomfortable she is with him. She does not want to upset him now that they just made up. "I have to work. You understand that, right?" she

"I... I already have someone..." Bangs had never experienced so much heartache and anger when he heard those words. The sadness and annoyance he felt were worse than when she had been absent for a few days. It was even more painful than all the experiments his body had gone through. He feels a strange pang in his chest. Because of the negative emotions filling up his mind, he can barely control the rage inside him. If it was not for Lesley standing in front of him, he might have transformed into a monster again and rampaged. He is under the side effects of drugs which pushes him to be very aggressive, but he can feel and think calmly when Lesley is around. Because of her, he can control all negative emotions and violent thoughts he always has. She cures him of his insanity. She calms the monster in him and gives him something he never has, hope. She makes him feel emotions he has never felt before, but this same girl is tearing his heart to pieces. "Bangs?" she calls softly with

She finally knocked. "Sir Jacoben, I have come. This is me, Lesley." "Get in!" She slowly opened the door and peeked where Jacoben was. He is sitting in front of the desk and busy with his laptop. "Good evening," she greeted with a smile, then proceeded to enter. He closed his laptop immediately. He fixed his blue tuxedo and smiled broadly. "Good evening to you too! Long time no see! How's work? I hope MNA is not too cruel to you." She smiled. "I'm okay. I'm still alive." "Right," he chuckled, amused by her. “I know you are a strong girl." "Uhm, is there anything I can do for you, Sir?" "Oh, yes." He stood up. "I want to show you something urgently. Can you come with me?" He immediately walked to the door without waiting for her answer. She had no choice but to follow. "Wh-where are we going, Sir Jacoben?" "Not far. We won't go outside the hospital." Her forehead furrowed. Jacoben did not answer her question. Should she be worried about what he will show her? Knowing th

"Eighteen years ago, I was the luckiest man alive when I married the woman with the most beautiful hazel eyes. She was the kindest and most selfless person I have ever met. She gives respect to every living thing. It is impossible to hate her. She, unfortunately, was born into a family of mad scientists," Jacoben said with a visible pain in his eyes. Lesley quietly listened as they focused on the woman in the other room. "Her name's Maridona, the eldest daughter of Dr. Victor Nobles, a well-known biochemist, and bioengineer. Her mother died giving birth to her psychopath sister." She almost nodded at what he said. She one hundred percent agrees that Shane is a psychopath. Jacoben smirked as he continued. "Imagine having a demon as a father and a lunatic sister. It's a miracle she grew up a different person from that crazy family." He shook weakly. "Anyway, I didn't know their secret when Mari and I got married. Being with her was a dream come true for me. I might not look like a ro

Lesley is debating within herself what to do in her situation. Amanda has controlled her long enough. She should start deciding for herself, but she will hurt Patrick in the process. It pains her to do that. And is her feelings towards Bangs worth fighting for? She has so many doubts. And then she thought, what if they never see each other again like what Jacoben said? She took a deep breath and rubbed her chest while lying on her bed. The thought of losing Bangs made her heart feel like it would stop beating at any moment. Their situation is difficult and complicated. She still has a lot of things she doesn’t know about his real identity, and there are so many obstacles between them. They have to fight an entire organization that knows no mercy. Shane and Victor Nobles are strong and fearsome opponents. She shivers whenever she thinks of Jacoben’s story about Victor Nobles and MNA's history. But when she thinks of the bad things those people can do to the man she loves, her feeli

Lesley can hear her heart beating loudly inside her chest. Her palms clenched in nervousness as they stared into each other's eyes."I… I got very angry with you, and I was bitter… But I still love you..."She saw his face getting redder. She could feel herself slowly being swallowed by his gaze that seemed to penetrate deep inside her."How about the things you said before I left?" he asked in his low and deep voice. "Do you want me?"She slightly raised his eyebrows at this and pursed her lips."What do you mean?" she asked nervously.The atmosphere is getting hotter. She knew what he was talking about. But it was too embarrassing to admit now without the alcohol in her system."You remember it, right? Everything you said... and what we almost did here in your room," He brought his face closer to hers. "Lesley, tell me honestly... Do you want me inside you?"Lesley can hear the loud beating inside her chest as if she will have a heart attack at any moment. Only one person has the ab

"Why are we here on my bed? There's a table," Lesley calmly asked Kieran, who was comfortably eating on top of her bed, positioning himself in the middle while she was at the end as if she was the guest and he owned the space."Because eating is better when done in bed," he answered with a meaningful smile.Lesley understood the double meaning in his statement. She stared at his face flatly, initially wanting to refute him, but she decided just to ignore him. "Besides, this is where we used to eat. It's more comfortable. I promise I won't make a mess," Kieran added.She sighed. She agreed to talk to him tonight about their relationship, especially those things she said and acted when she was drunk.But is this the right decision, biting Kieran’s bait and letting him into her room?She stared at the tray of food resting on her lap for a few seconds and then at Kieran's food. She frowned, shifting her gaze to Kieran’s face."Anything wrong? Don't you like it?" he asked."I'm just wonder

Lesley stared intently at him for a few seconds before sighing heavily. "Fine," she finally agreed, walking to a table nearby. And then she started to put her things away. "Instead of moving on with each other, I messed with your mind again," she murmured, then looked straight at him. "This is my fault. I'm sorry.""No. It's not your fault!" He exclaimed, shaking his head. "It was me. I did this. If I hadn't asked you for that one last kiss, last night wouldn't have happened."She paused, frowning at him. "What are you implying?""I made you feel something in that kiss, and you can't forget me," he answered so casually.Lesley scoffed, shaking her head. "I don't even know what to say. Can you stop assuming?"He walked to her, slightly bending down to put his mouth closer to her ears. "You miss me… And you want me…."Lesley stepped back and glared at him. If only those stares could cut him, he would be in pieces."I'm being serious," he immediately said while holding back a grin. "But

Lesley groaned painfully from the sudden throbbing in her head as soon as she woke up, the effect of the few glasses of alcohol she drank last night. She doesn't feel like getting up with how heavy her body feels until something suddenly occurs to her. She sprang up, sharply inhaling while covering her mouth with both hands. Her eyes widened in disbelief, recalling the events of last night."No... No, no, no!"She grabbed her hair and shook her head, wishing it was a dream.'What have I done?!'She closed her eyes tightly, biting her lips. She bent until her forehead touched her knees, burying her face in shame. If only the ground would swallow her right now. How will she deal with Kieran now? She doesn't even know if she still has a face to show him after her actions last night. "Lesley, are you awake?"Her breathing hitched when she heard the voice of the last man she wanted to see today. Her face lost its complexion as she looked towards the door.She remembered that Kieran pro

"What… What do you mean?" Kieran asked, staring intently at her face. "You're asking me why it has to be the last kiss? Do you... Do you want more?"Lesley's heart was beating so fast that she could hear its deafening pounding.She could not take her gaze off Kieran's eyes, which were also fixed on her, even though she felt like she was melting to the ground.Her expression remained brave and confident even though her thoughts were getting tangled in her brain.'What are you doing, Lesley?!' she scolded herself in her mind.She can already see that she will regret this in the morning. But she can't do anything but continue what she started. And she couldn't stop herself either, as if she had lost control."What's wrong with that?" she continued.There flared a strange sparkle in Kieran's eyes. He was speechless for a couple of seconds before he could respond to her."D-Do you... Do you mean it? Seriously—"He suddenly paused when he realized something. He blew violently and shook his

"Can I kiss you one last time?"Lesley caught her breath at Kieran’s sudden request. Her heart rate doubled and she froze in place."Please?" he pleaded.She gulped as she couldn't take her gaze off his pitiful expression, especially his eyes that had turned gray.She slightly pressed her lips for a split second while trying her best to control the crazy beating of her heart.How can she say no to him with that kind of expression on his face? He looks pitiful, but at the same time, irresistibly adorable."Okay..." she answered absent-mindedly.Kieran wasted no time. He let go of her hand and stepped closer so that their bodies were almost touching. Then he cupped both of her cheeks gently while staring intently at her face as if he had been looking forward to this opportunity for a very long time.She held tightly to the hem of his black t-shirt and then closed her eyes as he slowly brought their faces closer.A second later, she felt his soft lips gently touching hers, and her heart

Lesley took her deepest breath and then looked ahead. She decided to go to the training grounds to warm up. Rio might be there now to start their new training."Lesley!"She scrambled to her feet when she heard Kieran's voice calling out to her."Lesley, please wait!"She ignored him until he finally caught up to her."I swear I didn't mean to eavesdrop," he said.She took a deep breath and slowly faced him."Don't worry about it. It doesn't matter," she coldly responded.Kieran just smiled, then he held out a clean towel familiar to her. "I wanted to give this back to you."She frowned. "Is it mine?""Yes. It fell on the training grounds the last time we talked there. I washed it, so it's clean."She stared at his eyes for a few seconds, and then she averted her gaze immediately as if burned by something she saw in them."Thank you," she said, almost choking on the word."You're welcome," he answered sweetly.Lesley stared at Kieran again, which seemed strange. He appeared oddly dif

The sun had not risen yet, but Lesley was already busy helping Avery inspect the food rations that arrived at the hideout every two days. She volunteered to help because she wanted to know something that would help in her plan."Are you only assigned to food?" she asked as Avery busied herself with several pages of paper containing lists of the rations they had received."Yep," her friend answered without looking at her."What about other things? Like guns and medicines?""We have other people for that. I was only assigned to food rations because eighty percent of it comes from our family.""I see..." she trailed. "How about the gadgets? Where do you get the gadgets?"Avery frowned and looked up at her."Gadgets? What do you mean?""You have a burner phone, don't you? I see some mutants using that.""Do you want one?"She nodded, stepping closer. "Yes! How can I get one?""Is there someone outside you want to call?" Avery asked suspiciously."No one," she answered quickly with a broad

The air-conditioning in the room was cold enough, but a drop of sweat still managed to escape Kieran's forehead. Since he woke up from a wet dream a few hours ago, his body still felt hot. He knew he had to release this heat. But he doesn't seem to have the energy for anything right now. He is too lazy to even get up.Kieran has been awake for a while now. But he hasn't gotten up yet. He rested his head in his hands as he stared blankly at the ceiling, recalling his happy memories with Lesley and intimate moments.He kept thinking about the sexy dream he had last night. He misses her in his arms, her lips on his, her perky breasts, and her hot wetness. He recalled how sweet those tasted, especially the heaven between her legs. But most of all, he yearns for her beautiful eyes that always look at him passionately, and her soft voice muttering words of love for him. Oh, how he longed for that.If he only knew that they would be like this, he would have shown more of how much he loves he
