"Alright then. I agree."Gosh, did I really say that directly to Elijah now? I almost choked myself with the rush of my breath that felt so labored right now. I couldn't believe the courage that had come from nowhere in my body. But that's exactly what I said to Elijah.I accepted the terms he gave me. By becoming his own, he would help me avenge Harrison Hux in a beautiful way. And I don't know what possessed my mind that I immediately agreed to Elijah's words in front of me right now."Good. Then, get ready tomorrow and come with me."Elijah muttered, still with that smile on his lips now. Slowly, Elijah released his hug on my waist and walked away from me. Elijah walked towards the door of the room. I turned around, and looked at him confused once again."Where are we going tomorrow?" I couldn't stop myself from asking him.Elijah paused by the door, before finally tilting his head back slightly, and glancing at me. I paused. Realizing that Elijah's eyes looked even more different
KnockKnock"Enggh.. who is it?"I mumbled in a tone of voice that sounded very hoarse now. I opened my eyelids with some difficulty, as I was still feeling very sleepy now. I rubbed my face slowly with both palms of my hands. I looked right at everything in this dark room. I remembered that I turned off all the lights in this room in order to sleep peacefully.Slowly, I propped up my body with both hands to change my lying position to sitting while leaning on the bed. I turned my gaze back to the window of the room where the sunlight was almost visible. I realized that the day was beginning to turn into morning.The sound of the door opening on my left side instantly made me turn my head and look at the arrival of Emrys who was carrying a tray in her left hand. "Emrys? You are here?"I muttered as I reached for the light switch on the table beside the bed now. Clicking it quickly, the room lights immediately turned on quite brightly there. It instantly made me close my eyelids for a
"Where are you taking me, Elijah? We're even getting out of your pack in a car? Where did you get a car like this?"I looked at Elijah who was sitting next to me in his luxurious black car, and he was driving his own car right now. I almost couldn't believe Elijah when he asked me to get ready, to go out with him now. What's more, it's been so long since I can remember the last time I went out of the forest area where I used to live."I'm going to take you somewhere nice."Elijah turned his head towards me for a moment, before finally looking back at the street in front of him now. We had even just come out of the forest area, into a normal human settlement. I wondered even more about where Elijah was taking me now."Didn't I tell you yesterday? That I would take you away somewhere. Because starting from today, your revenge mission will begin. And yes, I'm trying to take you somewhere special.""Alright. I hope that place will be pleasant for me."I answered Elijah's words with a pret
Third POVElijah fell silent after expressing his opinion on Luciana's new look. With his eyes that couldn't stop looking admiringly at Luciana who was standing right in front of him now. Elijah didn't even notice Luciana's stiff look and also felt strange because of the change in Elijah's attitude now. Moreover, the boutique employees who had been working to give Luciana a makeover began to chuckle at the admiration on Elijah's face."Miss, then, we'll all be excused now. We need to take care of things inside." Murmured an employee who whispered just to the left of Luciana there.Luciana, who had heard that, immediately glanced at the smiling employees nearby. Luciana realized that the employees were looking at Elijah, who was still pensive, silent, and seemed not to know how to react in front of them. The employees also seemed to be amused at Elijah's behavior, which he was completely oblivious to now. In the end, Luciana nodded her head slowly, and smiled."Of course. Thank you ver
I looked nervously at the building in front of me, where the party was taking place right now. All of this was actually quite unexpected. I mean, the party that Elijah had prepared in that building looked very luxurious and also festive. Not only that, but even on the outside of the building there were many journalists, carrying reporters, cameras, spotlights and many other things.The car moved in and got closer to the building area, and instantly it was surrounded by many reporters taking pictures. I myself even had to avert my eyes and slightly lower my head to be able to avoid the reflection of the camera lights right now."Are you okay?"Elijah muttered as he stopped the car, he had already parked this car, along with the other guests' cars. I raised my head and looked at Elijah, nodding my head slowly."Yeah, I'm fine."I sighed quite loudly, and tried to calm myself down now. I rubbed my chest gently, and tried to lower my heartbeat which was still very fast right now."I'm jus
"Thank you all for attending Gray Company's party tonight. I am very happy that you could give your time to come to the welcoming party for the cooperation between Gray Company and Silver Company. I am very grateful for that." Elijah spoke into the mic in the direction of all the guests at the party.Elijah was standing very confidently, and with authority right on the stage now. I stood at the bottom of the stage, along with the other guests. Even so, I remained silent and looked at Elijah who was still speaking on the stage now. As soon as Elijah introduced me as his younger sister to the reporters, the guests looked at me curiously. And I myself had been trying to keep a low profile next to Elijah ever since.I was still waiting to find Harrison Hux's whereabouts at this party. I'm sure that he came to this party together with his fiancée, Felicity Rey. But I don't know where the two of them are right now. Where they were standing and looking at Elijah who was still explaining abou
Third POVElijah walked with his hurried footsteps there. Elijah felt very worried about Lucia's condition who had not even returned to the party until now. Elijah walked towards the bathroom, where Lucia had said goodbye to him, Harrison, and Felicity before.Elijah stopped walking for a moment and looked at the closed bathroom door in front of him. Then slowly, Elijah opened the bathroom door, and found Lucia washing her palms with very rough movements in the sink."Lucia, what are you doing here?"Elijah frantically walked further into the bathroom, and grabbed both of Lucia's wrists there. Elijah even turned off the sink faucet with his left hand, and grabbed some paper towels that were available in the bathroom to dry Lucia's now wet palms. Elijah quickly pressed the tissue he had taken several times on Lucia's palms, until now Lucia's palms were completely dry there.Not long after that, Elijah threw the tissue in his hand carelessly on the bathroom floor. Elijah didn't even car
"Hi, sorry for the long wait. Lucia is apparently having her period right now, so she had a little tummy ache in the bathroom. I hope you guys didn't wait too long here."Elijah murmured kindly with a slight smile on his face, right at Harrison and Felicity who were enjoying their meal on the table, along with the other guests."Oh, of course it's no problem, Mr. Elijah. We're enjoying our meal, so we don't feel like things are taking too long." Harrison quickly replied."Good then..."Elijah replied before finally turning around and looking at me who was standing right behind him now. I nodded my head in a vague gesture to Elijah. Then after that, Elijah also nodded his head with a faint movement like I did earlier.TingTingTingTingElijah quickly smacked the empty wine glass in his left hand there. I fell silent as I looked right at all the guests who had stopped their activities and started looking at Elijah and me in turn now. Not long after, Elijah lowered both hands, and plac
