The World You Want to Leave Behind

2024-10-29 19:42:56The police sirens were loud and intrusive, but Finlay kept to himself. He had not spoken to anyone just yet. He had a shock blanket on his back, but he was not holding it up in any way. The memories of the short encounter kept replaying in his mind.
What the police saw was already the aftermath of the encounter. A quick look would suggest that at least ten of them were on the floor, while the leader was dead on the stage. Since the lights were turned off, no one saw what transpired… aside from Finlay.
He clearly remembered how everyone he knew killed those goons in cold blood. Even if aggression was not a new sight, that was also the first time he was faced with a gun to his face multiple times in one night. Two times even involved the gun being shot in his direction.
The very next movement he d

Footsteps came from the side, and a person poked their head out of the side. Finlay caught them snooping around, and their eyes met. In the next second, the other person went on his knees and pleaded at Finlay’s feet. “Akhe! I didn’t mean to bring you so much trouble! I should have been more relentless to that guy!” “Erm, you already brought me trouble for doing unnecessary things. It’s best for you to just leave Bastet and Anubis to deal with him.” Finlay didn’t stop Gendry from hugging his leg and begging like a worm. “You work closely with their group, right? Just help them out and don’t do strange things.” “Really? You’re not angry at me?” Gendry looked up and wore an ugly begging face. It’s just that Finlay didn’t shake his head. Finlay only sighed. “To be honest, he got what he deserved. It’s just that he’s

“Hepu, why didn’t you tell them I asked you to come?” Delta chuckled, and Hepu didn’t even look at her. However, he did answer with a voice filled with excitement, “Boss, am I really allowed to make use of all of those? They look complicated, so I just want to watch first before entering.” “Hepu, huh? Who is he?” Wolfram only glanced at the man before leading Delta to the entrance of the laboratory. “Why did you ask him to come?” Delta reached out to tap on the man’s shoulder as they walked by. “He just looked unreliable, but he’s my assistant in my run-down lab. “Since I’m going to be working on something here, I just thought I wanted to share the experience. After all, he’s the custodian.” She giggled. “Upgrading our lab is his job, not mine.” The man stopped

There was only a nod that came after. David looked like he was only hiding his distraught self. After all, his wife died more than two decades ago. Today, the supposed unknown killer resurfaced again. He even seemed to intervene in this case the Red Core was investigating. “…Mr. Colton senior, how much do you know about your wife?” The detective, who was supposed to shut up, struck when his former mentor was the least expecting him to talk. Romeo glared at the stupid man, but David only frowned at him. David responded, “Why are you asking me that question right now?” Brian didn’t even feel a bit scared. “Theodore Bailey didn’t have a good track record. He had been doing underhanded tricks against all his competitors until lately. His name came up as a mastermind to an arson case against one of Finlay Baker’s mark

The wife only nodded. She then kept to herself for a few seconds, but she ended up leaving her seat and looking for Wolfram again. There was something about this case that felt so wrong. It even felt like the worst was yet to come. However, she stopped by the door and smiled in Brian’s direction. “Please don’t take it against him, Sekh. I’ll get someone to treat your wound.” “Nah, go and attend to him.” Brian only dabbed at his bleeding cheek. “Sobek already warned me that Nuub has this very scary side to him. Guess I just had to run my mouth and found out the hard way. Geez, crazy—you and your family are crazy.” “Don’t say that to Zenon. He will throw you in jail.” Delta only laughed and ran off. … Delta didn’t find Wol
The Runaway Wife and Her Tabby Cat Prince There was a Brother
Without another word, she left to find other members to arrange for everything else that she needed. Whether she died along the way, she just hoped Wolfram would spare her kids. Even if Wolfram had become her safest space, reality had its way of breaking things apart for her. As for Wolfram, he only asked the agent to report to him when the results were ready. The commander of the Red Core walked out of the lab, followed by the captain who didn’t know how to pacify things. Avalon could only imagine what would happen to Wolfram if Delta’s brother was the one behind his very own mother’s murder. “Oh, Commander, have you seen—?” Hepu just got out of the primary lab with a big smile. He saw Wolfram walking and was about to ask for Delta when he was grabbed by the collar. His back made a loud thud against the wall, but he still kept his mouth shut and hands raised

“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

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
The Runaway Wife and Her Tabby Cat Prince Daddy Yuri
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 Runaway Wife and Her Tabby Cat Prince The Wife of a High Roller
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 Runaway Wife and Her Tabby Cat Prince That Kind of Relationship
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
The Runaway Wife and Her Tabby Cat Prince How Will They Remember Me?
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
The Runaway Wife and Her Tabby Cat Prince She Has Become Greedy
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. Now that y
The Runaway Wife and Her Tabby Cat Prince My Mouth Can Do More Than Say Things
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
