Grayson's POVThe moon is on the sky, lighting up the whole city. I couldn't remember the last time my eyes landed on this thing, and doesn't even remember when is the last time I able to see this. Everything changing like a thunderstorm, even my surroundings. I don't know why, but the wind seemed chilly. Since I'm the only one inside my study, and Erika staying on her mother's house. She need to spend another more time with them, especially since Erika doesn't have so much time these past few days. "How long do you plan to hide? Are we playing hide and seek?" I stated without turning around. "Impressive," I heard a clapped coming from behind but didn't dare looking around. "Your senses still strong as before, and it impress me so much brother."I exhaled before turning to the intruder, "I'm about to asked you a very stupid question until I realized who am I talking to. You still carrying your hobby.""What kind of hobby? Hmm, let me think. Was it the fact I'm still alive and brea
Nicholas's POV"How this happened? I saw him with my two eyes. I know he's dead that time," I muttered. "No one knows how a dead came back to life," Ash answered and Grayson was silent, as if he's trying to figure out how the hell his brother alive. Even me is shocked to see him alive because we're expecting him to be dead, but it turns out he's still alive and had the chance to spread evilness. I don't care even if he spread evilness, what I care is that facts we miss. Perhaps, the man we saw is working for someone."Why are you both quiet? Can someone speak?""Can't you just shut up, Asher? We're in the middle of thinking how the hell he revive from death, since none of expecting this circumstances.""I do expecting this to happened," Grayson spoke. "Now your talkin. How?" Asher questioned. "We didn't saw any bones, no blood at all. I thought about it already but ignore my suspicions since his body can be eaten by wild animals or worse," Gray muttered seriously. The atmosphere
Erika's POVA doorbell filled the whole house, that's why I went to open it and reveal Asher. He smiled at me which is quite confusing because Asher never smile at me like that, a smile with something on it. "Why are you here?" I questioned. He handed me the bouquet of red roses and said, "I missed you, that's why I came here to visit you.""Don't be such a gross, Asher. Missing me is worse than annoying me, why are you really here?" I said. "Does it matter?" He chuckled. I crossed my arms and raise my eyebrow, "You are not coming in unless you tell me what's going on.""Pft! There is nothing going on, Erika. Everything is under control, so let me in because it kinda chilly in here.""What do you mean by everything is under control, Asher?" I start suspecting him because he already spill the tea. Asher scratch his head, he really not good when it comes to lying. That's why he always failed it, and I don't believed to his lies which is the same reason. "So, there's something goin
Erika's POV"What's wrong with your friend? Why left already? I just prepare him a food," mother said, I looked to the tray she's carrying and take it. "He already left, mom. Asher had a job to done and his boss will get mad of him," I answered. I place down the tray to the coffee table, and then pull her to seat. After all the odd we experience in one month, maybe it's time for her to know what's the truth. The truth I've been keeping from her and terrified to open the conversation."You look stressed; what's wrong?" She checked my forehead, and I can see how worried she was for me.Mom is my best friend, and she always knows when something is wrong. Even though I didn't tell her what the problem was, she could sense the worry in my voice when I called her earlier, and it bothers me that she can always tell when I'm stressed, even when I don't say a word.She became involved in my problems real quick and immediately suggested solutions and ways to make me feel better. We're not clo
Grayson's POVThe door open and Asher came inside, he sat down and gave me a silent treatment. He grab one of my magazines and read it and pretend like I don't even exist, that's why I parted away from my seat and I clear my throat to get his attention but he ignored me. "Don't play games with me, Asher. Pretending that I don't exist is old-school because you are reading that magazine upsidedown," I stated. He sighed and place down the magazine, "Why does it hard to ignored you?""Maybe because this is my study and you just brag in here like you own this," I answered. "Good point.""So did you do what I've told you to do?" I uttered."Yes. I gave her the phone and informed her what's going on while she's away," he answered. "Don't tell me you gave her unnecessary thoughts? You know what are the possible things Erika could think off, am I right?" Asher glanced at me, "Yeah. Of course, why would I don't know that?""Trust me, Grayson. She didn't asked me questions, and didn't say a
Patricia's POV"You're not welcome here," that's all I stated after opening the door and reveal me the man I despised.He was looking at me with blank expression and no any signs of happiness or sadness through his eye, which made my heart ache but not in pain. It aches because or raged that rushing through my veins. But my sharp gaze didn't affect him, he pushed the door and head inside without my invitation. That is why I immediately close the door, and followed him inside to stop. "I told you, Grayson. You're no longer welcome and should've get my permission before entering," I am desperate the halt him from entering my life again, and whatever he's plan has to be ended. "Maybe you forgot, Patricia. This house bought by my father's money which means I have the right to enter this premises whenever I wanted to," he said which is not surprising to me. "Fine. You own this house, so what? Your father is my mother's husband, he gave this house to her as their wedding gift. Which mea
Grayson's POV[Yo! What's up, Gray?] Asher greet me. "Not now, Asher. I'm not in the mood."[What happened? Don't tell me she rejected you?]"As I've said, I'm not in the mood messing with you and I'm not the in mood answering your questions. Where's Nicholas?" I questioned. [Based on your mood, you failed to get her. By the way, Nicholas wasn't here. As far as I know, he had to come back to Patricia's house,] he answered. [Where are you? Did you left her already?]"There's no reason to stay there longer, especially since she would never tell me my brother's plan."[As usual, typical Patricia. Her loyalty is belongs to him, which means she's not scared to lose her head or even die. That's how it goes,] he stated. "I know. You don't have to remind me that. Why did he came back if we'll got nothing from her? She's a tough enemy, and I thought Patricia can be blind by my lies bur it turns out she's not."[Of course she's not, Gray. She lost her kid and on top of that, you kick her ou
Nicholas's POVI am patiently waiting to their living room because Patricia is taking a shower according to her mom. She welcome and let me wait inside, even though I can sense this is not a good idea after all. Patricia rejected my help, and sided to the man because she was hurt by Grayson. It must be her revenge. "Here's some water while waiting for my daughter and I hope you have a long patience," Priscilla said."Thanks and yes. I can wait until she's finish."She seated on the opposite chair and said, "You're a good man, Nick. I am thankful because despite my daughter's stubbornness, you came back to change her heart. All of a sudden, I felt relieved.""Don't be, Priscilla. As long as she's trying to keep the facts with her, we're not safe yet. Did you even force her to speak or maybe comfort her?" I said.Priscilla shook her head slowly, "She's depress and giving her enough space to think everything but as I've said, she's getting stresser."I sighed and start losing my remaini
