Zin woke up early the next morning, his mind still filled with worries about Derrick's disappearance. But that's not all there is. He is also still bothered by the fact that the people online would have been yelling their heads off just to make sure that Lyra was being grilled for being an evil witch in disguise. He took a mental note to wash his face before he dove right in since there was a slight chance that he wouldn't be able to get out of it anyways through out the day. After he was done freshening up, Zin made sure to order breakfast before opening any other social media app. He was too good at avoiding the notifications on his phone; he's just that good whenever he knows that something bad will just ruin his vibes. Picking out great food to start the day comes before anything else. Right after that, he headed downstairs to wait for Dame to wake up. It's only six in the morning; it's too early for his friend, but he has a feeling that he'd still wake up early for today. He s
When Zin walked back into the kitchen, his mind consumed with worry for Lyra. He watched as Dame brewed coffee, the aroma filling the room. Just as he feared, she seems to be very stressed; she's unable to handle it all."Dame," Zin said, his voice low. "I feel so guilty. I should have told Miss Lyra that I think Derrick is already in hell. Maybe that would help her more. What if I chose the wrong way of approaching this situation?"Dame turned to Zin, his expression sympathetic. "Zin, you couldn't have known for sure. And Miss Lyra wouldn't have wanted to hear that anyway. I think that you made the right choice; this one's too much; even I can't handle that information, and I am from hell myself. I think that she is going to be even more mentally broken by that. We can't do that to her right now."Zin shook his head, feeling the weight of his worry. "I just feel like I should have done more. Maybe he got down there to stop this mess since we both can't do anything about it. I will lo
Dame's heart began to race as he tried to comprehend the truth of Zin's words. He felt a lump form in his throat, making it hard to breathe. His hands began to shake as he tried to grasp the reality of the situation."What are we going to do?" Dame asked, his voice barely above a whisper. "How can we keep this from Miss Lyra? She's going to be devastated when she finds out that Derrick is gone."Zin looked at him with pained eyes, his body trembling a little bit. "We have to keep it from her at all costs. It's what the master wanted. He asked to do that, and we have to at least try."Dame nodded. He's beginning to fear what's about to happen to them. "I know, but how are we going to explain Derrick's absence? People will start asking questions, especially Miss Lyra. She's not going to be fooled, especially not by us. She knows a lot; she will figure this out by herself.""We'll tell them that master had to go away for some urgent business. And that he arranged everything for Miss Lyra
Dame had just gotten off the phone with the legal team at the Pluto Hotel, and Lyra was sitting at the breakfast table with Zin, still confused as to what was happening.“What was on you email?” Zin asked puzzled as to what was happening since Dame seemed to be fired up by that call that he just received.“It’s loading,” said Lyra. “What am I looking for? I don’t check my mails that often, is this where it’s supposed to go? Spam?”“Not the spam; why are you looking at that?” Dame chuckled and checked on the tablet that Lyra was holding. “Here, look at this email.”“Settlement?” Zin read the subject line of the mail. “What is this?”"Miss Lyra, we just got off the phone with the legal team, and I have some good news for you."Lyra looked up, her eyes widening in anticipation. "What is it?" she asked.Dame smiled reassuringly. "Elvis has backed out of his accusations against you," he said. "The legal team was able to prove that they were baseless, and he doesn't have any evidence t
Lyra slowly opened her eyes and blinked, trying to shake off the last remnants of sleep. As she reached over to grab her phone from the bedside table, she noticed a flood of notifications waiting for her.Curious, she unlocked her phone and began scrolling through the messages. To her surprise, she saw dozens of notifications from social media platforms, all with messages of support and encouragement."What is going on?" she asked herself as she scrolled.As the news spread that Lyra was not the one in the wrong, dozens of people took to social media to share their support for her. Among them were several employees from Watson's Hotel, who spoke up to share their pleasant experiences with Lyra."I may not have worked for Miss Lyra that long, but I can swear that she was always kind and supportive," wrote one employee. "I'm not surprised to hear that she's innocent. She's always been an upstanding person in my opinion."Other employees echoed similar sentiments, sharing stories of Lyra
Rhian and Raine had come over to keep her company and help take her mind off things. They were full of energy and had brought snacks and drinks to share. They chatted and laughed, doing their best to make Lyra forget her worries."This is awesome," said Rhian. "It’s actually so fun to get an unscheduled day off, and it's super exciting to just have fun with you guys."Raine chuckled, "Of course it’s fun! We have our boss here, hanging out with us as we run away from our responsibilities.""I am sure that Lyra’s having fun, so it doesn’t matter, right, Lyra?" Rhian noticed that Lyra looked a little bothered and asked, "Oh my god, Lyra, you look like the entire world just collapsed on you. Why do you look like that?"Lyra replied, "I'm just missing Derrick. It's been tough without him around.""He just left yesterday, right?" Rhian asked."What?" Lyra asked, feeling a little confused as to what Rhian just said."You know that he’s coming back soon, so instead of worrying, you better get
The night sky was clear, and the stars shone brightly above them. It was a moment of peace and tranquility amidst the chaos of their lives. Dame and Zin sat by the pool, taking in the serene atmosphere of the mansion."You know, sometimes I wish we could just stay here forever," Dame said, taking a sip of his drink.Zin chuckled. "I know what you mean. It's like we're in our own little world, away from all the troubles of the outside, and sometimes I also forget the problems that came from the other world; it’s nice."Dame nodded. "But we both know that we can't stay here forever." He took a deep breath and sighed. "It’s kind of messed up to think about, but in reality, we are just here because we have a job to do. We have a duty to protect Miss Lyra, and that’s it."Zin sighed. "Sometimes I wonder if it's all worth it.""What do you mean?""The danger, the risks I wonder if everything will be worth it in the end.""What do you mean by that? I still don’t get it.""Will this end up o
Lyra excused herself from the conversation and walked over to the kitchen to pour herself a juice. She couldn't help but feel troubled by Rhian and Raine's forgotten memories. Worried that something like that could happen to her too. She was a bit scared, even though her friends were telling her that it could never happen to her.Dame sat nervously by the pool, his mind racing with possibilities. "This doesn't make any sense. How could they forget something as important as Elvis being her father?"Zin nodded, his expression serious. "It's possible that someone tampered with their memories.""I know." Dame scratched his head. "If this happened to them without our knowing, what else could possibly happen without our noticing? One morning, they might wake up not knowing anything about us at all!""Yes, I am thinking the same thing," said Zin. "But to be honest, this event isn’t too bad for us, if you think about it. Forgetting certain things about Master is a great way to keep his identi
