Lesley took several deep breaths after she and Catharina arrived at this little garden above the hideout. They went outside to get some fresh air so she could liven up a little and feel relieved from all she had discovered today.They walked around the garden as Catharina showed off some of the plants she had worked so hard to grow and flourish. Thanks to her, Lesley felt better.After they had gone around the garden, a woman came and whispered something to Catharina. The beautiful woman has a porcelain complexion and squinty eyes. She was small and slender, like a doll. They seem to be the same age, but most of all, she is a human. This is the first time she has seen anyone who is not a mutant in the two Crimson Clan hideouts other than Mrs. Dapit and Catharina.Lesley can now sense mutants better than when she was still in MNA. Back then, she wondered how she could do that, but now she knows why she could feel their presence. She has the Nobles Blood flowing in her system, the blood
"Wait a minute! What are you doing?!""Guys! This is Lesley! She'll be joining us!" Rio shouted to his friends, ignoring her."What?! I did no—""I don't care as long as we can eat. I'm starving!" the grumpy guy snarled at Rio.She wanted to withdraw her hand from his tight grip and scream because she didn't like what he did. But she didn't seem to have the strength. She can't even get angry and argue. She felt lethargic. She could only sigh as she silently followed the three. Well, whatever. I don't have anything else to do anyway, she reasoned with herself.Rio was the one doing most of the talking and telling stories about the hideout and the mutants here. She just nodded and agreed to everything he said until they reached their destination.Lesley froze on her feet and looked around in amazement. A high waterfall surrounded by tall trees and living rocks welcomed her sight. The ground was blessed with many unique and beautiful plants and flowers. This is her first time seeing a w
Thank you so much for your time and appreciation of my story! I really want to thank you, wherever part of the world you are right now. I am hoping for your continued support. Please share my work with your friends and family, and rate my book kindly. THANK YOU! The Boy Behind The Red Door is the second story I wrote, ever. I was mourning the loss of my twins when I discovered the world of web novels. I was not a novel read and never was. Not until I needed to find something to distract me from my sorrows. That's when I discovered that novels could help you escape from everything, even temporarily only. It's not the answer to our problems, but it makes us help get through them, especially emotionally. And becoming a writer was a whole different thing. It was fulfilling and it somehow is therapeutic. I hope that all of you reading my story can find inspiration and at least entertain you the way my favorite web novels did. Thank you for your support!
"His full name is Leonardo Dimana. His whole body turns black and he moves quickly. He is great in hiding, especially in the dark, so he is always on recon duties. He is hot-headed because he fell from his cradle with his head first on the ground when he was a baby." "Hey!" Leo barked. "Don't invent stories about me!" But Rio ignored him and continued with his stories. "And, he doesn't like women because all the women in his life have treated him badly. He was a vagabond when he was a child. That's where MNA noticed him. Because he's a young orphan, no one will look for him so they kidnapped him. He grew up surrounded by female scientists. Everyone with boobs that he saw caused him pain. So it took a while before Boss Cath gained his full trust." "Hey! Stop gossiping about me!" Leo shouted which they ignored again. "Is he the one I saw hovering outside the MNA building," Lesley asked. "Huh? When?" "The day we escaped. I was outside and I saw him peering behind the trees, I think?
It had been so long since Kieran had last visited a bar. He made the most of every minute he had with Jacoben there. They drank alcohol to their hearts' content and had a great time.His friend's stories seem so endless with the number of things he has said and shared. Jacoben almost told his whole life and everything they had been through in the past years while he was locked up in his ward in MNA. Jacoben made sure he was fully updated. After the long talk, they played billiards which they used to do decades ago.Kieran remembered his old life. It was filled with disco hoppings and house parties. He goes out from night to morning with different women two to three times a week. He had all the freedom. And he never held himself back from the things he wanted. When he wants something, he easily gets it.He was spoiled and rebellious like his chosen group of friends, privileged and rich teenagers. He did a lot of things that most people his age at that time would consider fun and cool.
Kieran's face crumpled in annoyance. Just thinking about MNA makes his blood boil. "Even if you say that, I still can't forgive them," he coldly said."I am not asking you to forgive them. All I am saying is, I don't want you to become a murderer. I don't want you to kill people just because you're angry. Kill because you have to and because you have no choice. Don't kill based on your emotions only.""I'll think about it," he replied with a heavy heart. He will just agree with what he says. It's hard to argue with a drunk."Lanz, promise me. You will only kill when necessary," Jacoben insisted."I promise to be a good man after I get my revenge.""That won't do!""Fine. I'll think about it," he answered without emotion."Please do!""Yes, yes! You are really stubborn when you are drunk, you know?"Jacoben just laughed at his remark. Drunk or not, he could be very stubborn. "I have one more question."He gave a loud sigh. "You never run out of questions. What is it?""Do you hate her?
Lesley was walking back to the hideout with her new friends after they invited her to the falls. They should have been back a while ago, but Rio insisted he took her to other beautiful places he knew around the hideout, while Leo and Arc were forced to go for a walk everywhere to follow them in their little tour. But she did not regret coming with them. Her eyes were filled with beautiful things that only nature could provide.They are accompanying her back to ensure her safety, especially now that it is already dark. There wasn't any light around, so she really needed their assistance. Catharina said it was on purpose so as not to attract attention from outsiders. Nobody except them can know that Crimson Clan's hideout is in the middle of this beautiful forest. That's why the place is so dark every night.Fortunately, Leo had lent her a small flashlight. At least she is not completely blind. Even though Leo was often rude and grumpy, she could tell he was a good man.She was grateful
Lesley was speechless at his sudden outburst as she tried to remember what had happened earlier. Her mouth formed a big 'O' when she realized what he was referring to. A few seconds later, she laughed and sat on the bed, not too far away from him but not close enough."Wh-Why are you?— What's so funny?!"She calmed herself and covered her mouth to contain her laughter. "We didn't kiss! You're thinking about it wrong!" she exclaimed."Then what does he mean by that?!""It's just Rio being playful. Earlier, we drank from the same bottle, and then he called it a kiss," she explained, and then he scooted closer to him. "Don't be angry about it. He was just joking. I swear that doesn't mean anything. He is a bit childish, you see."He folded his arms, still looking at her angrily. "What kind of excuse is that?""I'm not making excuses. It's true! He said it was an indirect kiss. It's not a big deal to me.""It is for me! How dare he tease you like that?! Indirect kiss my ass!"She tenderly
