“Will you kill him for shooting your mother?” Delta lowered her gaze. She had her phone in her hand, but the screen had already gone black. “Carolus hasn’t made contact with anyone since last night. I’m scared that he went after Theodore Bailey just like what it looks like to all of us. Then again, something in me feels like that’s not the case.”

Wolfram turned around and leaned against the railing. He finally took a look at the bitter yet plastered smile on his wife’s face. “Leaving his hair behind is too sloppy for him. I saw the few times he moved about. There’s no way he would let his long hair get in the way of his stealth.”

He looked away. “One of your little mummies spoke about him getting on the nerves of some master. Do you think… those strands of hair are not meant as evidence… but a message?”

“That’s a

    Bait? Yes, that was what Yuri said before. Someone used him as bait to lure their mom and kill her. That was why Zenon blamed him for their mother’s death. If only he knew how to keep himself safe, April Colton wouldn’t have to die a terrible death. Wolfram’s head then looked up and frowned at his eldest brother. “Yuri…?” “That detective is quite a person. Keep him around if you can.” Yuri chuckled before turning to the door. An agent pushed in a trolley and served them some food. After all, none of them had slept for the night just yet. Wolfram even took a sip as soon as the coffee was on the table. “As I was saying, his concerns are worth looking into.” Yuri moved his hand to send files to Wolfram’s comms device. “It seemed that Mom was not as simple as we all thought she was. Do you ever wonder why you a

    [@Sobek Please I need that letter inside the box. Can you get to it?] [Sobek: Are you kidding me? Dammit, I’ll try to get it.] [Sobek: Fuck, Animal Control is here. Tell Nuub to distract them!] Just as they planned in a few seconds, Gendry was able to retrieve the letter by a lot of means. He went back inside the panic room and opened the letter. Instead of reading the short letter, he quickly took a photo. It was also made of combustible paper, so it burned on its own after a minute of exposure to air. He sent it to her without any captions. [Delta,] [His patience is running thin, and I am also pushing my luck. If I get caught, don’t look for me. Prepare for th

    Loud gunfire echoed in the metal hallway, and the rain of bullets competed with the pace of Delta’s heartbeat. She was hiding behind a metal crate, with Shezmu the only other person exchanging fire with ten more operatives. The House of Ra had to spread out to cover all grounds, and most of them were too far to respond in time. “Last round, Boss. Are you doing well?” Shezmu asked, but he could see how labored her breathing had become. Delta might have an antidote for everything, but she couldn’t antidote her way out of a gunshot wound. She was still bleeding despite the patches. “It’s getting cold, but I can’t perish here… not without a report of Carolus being spotted…” Delta chuckled. She checked her watch and saw that the minute hand was still a centimeter away from the marker. “The Red Core wouldn’t be here for another ten minutes. They would need to look

    “Mh-hm, everyone froze when someone fell down and turned purple.” Carolus was only fifteen, but his sister was eight years younger. However, her green juice had killed ten men already. “Aren’t you scared of what you have created, Delta?” “Daddy wants it to be scary. If it’s really scary, then…” Delta’s high-pitched child voice trailed off. She looked up at her brother. “Carl, are you scared of it? Is it scarier than when Daddy’s black toy makes that loud bang-bang noise?” Carolus nodded. “I shot a lady today. It’s nothing scary compared to what your green juice would have done to her. I think… you’re making Dad proud.” Delta only kept her big grin and cuddled her brother. “When I grow up, you won’t need to do things alone! I will be with you, Carl! We’re going to make Daddy proud to

    The day breeze was kind to Carolus’s face. It was the first morning when the sun had kissed his face after a long while. He was strapped in a wheelchair that Wolfram was rolling around. The man was brought to the sun yard of the hospital, and Yuri met them at a place near the benches. They came with a nurse, but the nurse knew not to stand too close. Yuri smiled at the man he had been hunting for so long. This man used to be soluble in the shadows, but right now, he was right under the sun. The eldest spoke, “Do you feel safe right now, Mr. Hart?” “No.” Carolus’s smiles were only for his sister, so his lips wouldn’t even leave a straight line now. “Both families that I sinned against are competing for my head. I think it’s just a matter of whose hands will give me a more humane death.” “Does the name April

    “He wants to meet you in your office.” The secretary took a deep breath. “Madam, please be very careful of him. He’s… he’s known to push his limit and everyone’s patience.” Delta only nodded and tidied up the Deputy’s desk. “It’s all right. Send him here instead and say this is indeed mine. My real office is a mess. Angeline and rest need that space more than I do.” The secretary only nodded and had the Security alerted for sudden takedowns. After all, CEO Moore had a reputation, and the secretary didn’t want Wolfram Colton’s sweet yet dangerous wife to be a victim. Then again, they couldn’t shoo someone of his standing away. CEO Moore walked inside the inner office and locked the door behind him, not letting the secretaries enter with him. He then pulled on his lapel to smooth his suit. Inside, Delta was standin

    A media blackout was good, but too many people saw how CEO Moore was picked up by the police in front of Marcille. Since they had their own PR team to deal with things, Delta and Wolfram only shared a quiet time together as they finished the wine Delta took out. The Deputy was notified of the happenings and the damages, but he didn’t say much about those. In fact, he was more than happy to let his office be instrumental in that CEO’s demise. He just didn’t like how Delta was still attacked. Of course, Yuri and David were also notified. The eldest only shook his head, while the father was worried about Delta. The woman was a chemist and a toxin master; there was no guarantee that she could have won a physical fight with a brute like that. David would press charges if CEO Moore’s camp took action against the daughter-in-law.

    The group of six women walked inside the boutique. Aside from the Colton wives and the two girls, they had two maids who were attending to them. After all, Trisha would be busy, and Delta was too clueless—the older mother said. Those maids would have to watch over the girls. “Oh, Mrs. Colton! Thank you for returning!” The flamboyant owner greeted them and stared at Delta as if analyzing her body frame for anything they had that she might like. “This must be our bride.” “Yes, but she’s an airhead when it comes to this. You need to find her the most suitable one.” Trisha berated Delta even if she was talking to someone else. “Come, come. We need a lot of time to choose. I need to at least get a picture from you, Delta. Think of your first wedding and pick a better dress than whatever you had that day!” Delta only m

    Feet shuffled as someone ran up to the main lobby. There were giggles in her mouth as she ran around like a small child let loose in their new house. It was just that… it was not their new house. Delta just incredibly missed the majestic visage of the Blue Moon Estate.Instead of having the honeymoon right after the wedding, Delta asked to have it moved to another month—or even at the end of the year. After all, Wolfram was still undergoing physical therapy for his body. She also needed to catch up with work to snatch Zenon’s seat on the board.Nah, Trisha knew how to be kind even if she was like an old witch. Delta long forgot to zero in on Zenon’s seat. Yuri should just pick someone else’s.“Delta, aren’t you a little too giddy?” Wolfram laughed a little as he called out from the door. He was also caught perusing the door of his real house. Ever since they received that threat toward Eine and Foxley, they had relocated to the Willow House. It was nothing but a safe house prepared f

    Even though the newlyweds escaped the church, Trisha was sure that they would return for the reception. She was making rounds to see the food served to the guests, but she only heard everyone discussing a few things about the wedding. They talked about the venue, the other guests, Delta’s angelic entrance… the children, the wedding vows, and the willful escape.Some matrons and maidens gossiped about the children a lot. It was evident in their vows that Delta’s little angels were not Wolfram’s children. However, the two kids would say ‘Daddy Wolfie’ every time.“Trisha, when are they returning?” Janelle stealthily went to her side and offered her a drink as an excuse. “We still have to tell Delta about the thing.”“Psh, do you think I’m not ready? Delta already knows about the plan.” Trisha huffed and still took the drink Janelle gave her. She sipped on it and waved her hand to make Janelle scarce. They shouldn’t be caught talking, or else people might get the wrong idea.Just as Jane

    Chatters returned with squeals and cooing as the flower girls and the ringbearers came. Eine and Regina were like little fairies scattering the flower petals. Even if guests could not bring their children, the bride and groom’s family still had theirs. After all, these three had a role to play.Foxley walked next to Gulper, the dog carrying a pillow on its back. Gulper even had a suit that matched its owner’s clothes. The rings were on the pillow, encased in a glass box for people on the aisle to see. It was a pair of white rings with diamonds and gold linings.The music soon died down before the bridal theme started playing. However, instead of the normal song, what played was an old song only a few could recall. Wolfram figured it was that one song Delta liked listening to while she was waiting for Carolus to come home when they were still children.“Here she comes…” “Oh, my God… her gown is so gorgeous…”The people stood for the coming of the bride. When the doors opened again, the

    The wares vendor hid behind her stand, but Delta still came to hand one to her. She didn’t do much for Delta’s mental well-being, but she was the first one who would lend Delta money when she needed to loan some to make ends meet.Delta still smiled at her, so the third vendor only chuckled nervously. “I’m really sorry. I just thought you grew so ungrateful and left without a word…”“A wedding? I guess you’re doing well. That’s good.” The man was eating the strawberries he bought while listening to them. He even offered some to Delta. “I’m also happy for you… even if you don’t know me at all.”“Don’t know? But I remember all my repeat customers. Thank you for buying a crate every time.” Delta also smiled at the man. However, she didn’t have any invitation for him. It was not like he expected one as well. She just indulged him by asking for one strawberry.…Days after…Delta kept on twirling in her room as she waited for the ceremony to start. She was already suited in her wedding gow

    The solemn greeting of the maids echoed to the stairwell where Delta was. Instead of heading back to the home office, she changed direction and went to greet her husband. She descended the stairs and found him walking home after another day of physical therapy.Unlike what Delta thought, even his blades burned against his skin that time. Not only the obvious spot had third-degree burns. For Wolfram to regain his ambidexterity and attack speed, he needed to do a lot of physical therapy. Of course, it came with frustration and exhaustion.Wolfram walked with his eyes closed, so it was fairly easy for Delta to catch him with her own body. When he bumped into her, he only gasped softly and whined upon seeing the bright smile on her lips.“Delta, have you finished with the guest list?” Wolfram wrapped his arms around her shoulders as she did the same on his waist. “You also look mischievous. Are you doing something strange?”“No, nothing strange.” She giggled as she then moved to show him

    The sound of papers shifting conquered the room as two men were looking through them. Some were letters of congratulations as if hoping they would be invited to the wedding. Yuri had devised this thing when he married Mariska. Only those who could give the nicest wedding gifts were allowed to come to his wedding. Since Zenon did the same, everyone assumed Wolfram would not break tradition.Delta was working on customizing the letters to respond to the rest, while Finlay and Gendry were on the soft carpet. The two were going through the offers; one was grading their realism, while the other was running checks on whoever sent them. Delta could ask Angeline to go through them, but she needed that secretary to handle more things required by the company.She then chuckled as she took a break from typing. Delta gazed at the two working hard on drawing out a list of candidates. The woman would have to run it through Colton Industries afterward. After all, she needed to see which were blackli

    Carolus glared at him before shaking his head in helplessness. These old people should just have their fun from time to time if they like. Shezmu just laughed at the poor person before looking at the tombstones. “So, this is where you always go to when you vanish. Sheesh, if not for Red Core, we won’t even find you.”Carolus turned to his other side and watched Khepri slowly sit down because of his awful injuries. Babi was also there, as well as three more older members of the House of Ra. He all remembered them as active operatives even before he became one—aside from Babi. They were also well-acquainted with Kathy as if they all grew up under her care.Babi hugged her knees and placed her chin on them. “What kind of lady is Ms. Kathy? Since you’re not going back here anymore, I think today’s the only day worth talking about her. Also, we still have a lot of time before the sun sets.”“Yeah, it’s better than you speaking to a tombstone… unless we’re actually imposing on you.” Khepri

    Yuri was the first one to react and laugh while the rest of the men’s brows furrowed deeper. Trisha’s eyes bulged out on Delta, while Mariska went straight to pinching the woman’s face. Janelle only covered her mouth with a hand as if she knew what was happening.“It’s nice to find that Delta is indeed mentally sound as well.” Yuri only giggled as he saw what the women did to the spoiled little sister. “We’ll just leave when your friends start coming. For now, let’s discuss a few things.”“Foxley, Eine, Regina, let’s find pretty flowers for these two. Look at how sad their room is.” Trisha gathered the kids, who were also concerned about the lack of flowers. They left the room in an instant as if on a mission. The second Mrs. Colton just whispered a few things to her husband before she walked out of the door entirely.Yuri eyed the door close before assuming a seat on the visitor stool no one was using. “Congratulations on completing one of your most difficult tasks, Delta.

    Delta moved her weak hands to hold the phone on her own. She wanted to get into a more comfortable position than straining her neck. “Wolfie, how are you? Does anywhere hurt more than your heart? You didn’t ask the children to visit you, right?”[“No, Sobek made the call to the Willow House earlier. I spoke to them like this.”] Wolfram made a helpless sigh. [“Delta, you come back here walking and well, okay? Five weeks might not be enough for us to recover fully. If anything, I want to get married without any IV drips anywhere.”]“Oh, don’t worry. I’ll make sure to hide those under your clothes.” Delta laughed and made Wolfram pout bigger. She then moved her hand in front of the screen as if caressing his face without touching the screen. “I can’t wait to come back to you…”Wolfram dropped his sour face and smiled at his wife. [“If I recover faster than you, can I visit you there? It should be safe enough, yes?”]Delta shook her head. “I don’t want to get stuck here for days. Maybe we
