Looking at the three armed guys deciding to leave, Valentine felt a huge load getting off his shoulders.
He knows he doesn't have much time to help. If he really wants to help, he needs to hurry or otherwise he would only create problems for the girl by leaving in between.
He asked, "Do you know what the time is?"
"Huh", she was a bit surprised but then answered reading her wrist watch," two forty-four"
"F##k time" he whispered to himself not loud enough for her to catch his words.
Time was passing quickly. Thirty-four minutes have passed, leaving him with even less than half an hour.
He whispered to her, "Enter the encore room when I wave my hand to you but do not make any sort of noise", she replied to him nodding.
Only one was left looking here and there to find someone alive in that huge bungalow. Valentine was quick with his steps, even before the man could realize what was nearing him; Valentine twisted his neck causing him to die instantly.
He waved at the girl, opening the encore door. He has now killed one of them; it won't be long till they find their dead companion. His companions just left a few minutes ago but Valentine could not afford to wait much longer.
He closed the door behind him when entering following after the girl as an open door will be first to pick the attention. The room may look like a small library, if one hasn't read about the secret door leading to the real place in the map before.
He made quick steps to the last shelf standing attached to the wall completely, there was no gap between the wall and the last shelf as if they were one, which is not usually normal.
He pulled the fifth book in the third row. A red book with dust which looks really dull in comparison to the other books around it.
The pull triggered a door to emerge open in a plain wall out of the blue, the wall was unusual too compared to others hovered by many portraits or some sceneries.
Bang! Someone entered the room breaking the lock which valentine had put. He put the lock so he could know when someone tries to open the door by the sound of thudding but it looked like he underestimated them. They didn't make a noise in the opening of the door to not alert the one inside but instead they quietly checked for it if it opened or not. And if it doesn't then bam enters in cutting as much as time as possible for the insider to get alerted.
"Enter inside" came the quick whisper from Valentine. He was expecting for them to get a little late to find them behind so many shelves.
Valentine quickly entered inside with Angelica when the door was still half way from completely open. He was clicking the blue spherical switch but the door was damn slow to close.
He knew he needed to get ready for the worst hearing the steps of someone nearing them, his senses were alerted. His eyes were quick to spot someone about to fire a gun at the girl at the door half closed.
Just the time the man was about to fire the gun, Valentine pulled the girl towards him. Their dodge triggered random gunshots at them from the armed guys.
The noise caused by the shooting was too loud, the girl pressed her palms on both her ears and her finger trembled.
He asked the girl to run away and followed behind her telling her to turn left when the path parts.
She nodded running, her heart beating loud in her chest. The continuous bullet shots were deafening. She felt her mask of bravery slipping away. The thought of being hurt by any of the bullets increased her speed significantly. She ran as fast as her feet would allow but at times she felt like tripping but she didn't.
Valentine was calculating his next move while keeping a check on the door behind which was being forced to open. It won't be long when they have totally destroyed the door and entered inside. He wasn't afraid for himself but worried for the girl who will be assassinated if he left any moment soon. So, it is necessary to make sure she is safe otherwise it will bother him.
Even though there were less chances of her surviving in her room by herself, there was still some chance. But if he left right now, they will catch up to her and kill her.
He was still far from coming up with something and here the door is cracked open almost.
A man shouted, "Don't leave any royal alive" his voice raised, "Every heir of Kenneth family must die" "Send them all to Hell", the other one cried. Valentine hid behind the wall where the path parted into two. While, the girl approached the door in silver color. The door was locked; she wandered her eyes to find how to open the door. There was a pin lock on the right side of the door. She tried any possible pin number that could come in her mind but none worked. Every random try was going incorrect. Those men had made their way inside, tearing the door away and running towards them. Valentine looked at the girl struggling to find the pin and them leading their way to theirs. This is the time that needs him to make a qui
The noise caught the green eyes' attention but he didn't move his gun away. He asked his companion to check. Valentine had an idea of what happened, " Angelica, I'll meet you after seven years, I promise. But right now save yourself" he said it all quickly, wasting no time at all. "Stupid, you isn't leaving alive from here, how the hell will you survive seven years" green eyes laughed thinking the young man is an idiot. He pressed the front part of the gun on Valentine's forehead, "Idiotic Kid, you must have lost your mind in all this. You don't even realize the kind of situation you're in" the man mocked, "You're life is in my hands." Angelica had closed the door in front of the two men approaching her and the door was tightly closed with a clack sound leaving the t
" My memories are messed up but gladly I can differentiate between what are the new ones and the old ones." George thought a little bit with his eyes narrowed, "My newer memories say, I escaped from Varson with a wound in my left hand" he showed the scar in his left hand to Valentine. Valentine clearly remembers, George didn't have the scar before but how now. He was confused. "You're telling me I changed the past in just an hour when all I was doing was trying to survive." Valentine asked. "It's hard to say it is because of you because the civil war was triggered in the middle of 2013 and led further in late 2013 and became the worst in February 2014 and soon ended." George further explained, "The civil war was against the past royal families still holding huge powe
Joshim closed the door behind him, "Mr. Henderson wanted me to pick you up from here. He was pleased to hear you came here and gave your precious time though such things don't interest you." "How kind of him after tricking me" Valentine exclaimed with the wicked smile tucked on his face. Joshim tried reading the environment in the room. Valentine was naked on bed, even though he cannot see his lower body he could tell that. The heater was a bit too warm. George looked suspiciously scared or somewhat worried. The whole thing was just weird to him. "Did something happen here?" Joshim asked not to be too direct. Valentine leaned forward looking innocent, "What can happen? Why did you asked?" Valentine knew what he meant but wanted Joshim to say it directly. A cold sweat
***It's been 4 days*** Valentine was playing a video game and he was continuously hitting some button on the controller. "You have a call from Scientist George Milt-", the smart speaker informed him. "Receive the call", he said, not moving an eye away from the screen and his both hands still focused on the controller. "Hello", George said, "You wanted to know about the girl and what happened to her after you left. She was saved just after two hours of you being gone. Everyone in the mob was killed by men sent by Kenneth family. And about her present location and where about" "Did you find it?" Valentine asked. "I am sorry but the more recent the past time gets the Teleporter
Anna didn't want to be alone so she brought a girl with her. Her name was Stella and she had medium length black hair just neatly combed and left open with no accessories.She wasn't even close to Anna. The thing is no one is but she cannot refuse Anna. She is too dominant to be refused. So, she was keeping quiet the whole time, she felt uncomfortable between all the strangers.She looked at the man who sat magnificent with a gentleman look and expensive attire. The navy blue suit suited him and his nicely combed hair to back was just so attractive that one could not take their eyes off him.Anna pinched Stella's forearm and whispered to her, "Will you stop gawking at him? You look creepy don't do anything that will embarrass me or you will suffer the consequences" she warned her."I am sorry. Do I look creepy?""Have you seen your face in mirror? You would have known", she bullied Stella and though she felt bad; she was threatened but she didn't s
Stella wanted to scream her lungs dry knowing that she is sitting in a dinner with not just some billionaire but with one of the richest billionaires. Though she already knew that Anna herself comes from a millionaire family but still she stands nowhere near to where Valentine stood. She used to think such rich billionaires only hang out with others with the same class as them but it seems Valentine didn't care about the class. She was looking down even while eating the meal. If one notices Anna's actions, one could tell she was doing literally everything to get Valentine's attention but Valentine seemed not at all interested. "I feel like Maddie will definitely regret breaking up with me"; Stephen could not control himself from saying that.
The moment the two girls leave Valentine wakes up to realize he needs to go. He sat in the car and the engine started. When his car was going out from the front door he saw the two girls talking to the driver. The driver claimed his taxi has punctured now and he has to wait for someone to come to repair it. "We will be denied permission to enter the hostel after 11 am." The blonde girl exclaimed in annoyance. "What else can we even do now?" Stella comforted her. Valentine asked his driver to take the car near them and he did as asked to. "What is it, Stella?" He asked the question to Stella though his eyes were on the blonde girl. Stella could not see him clearly in the dark
Stella walked out first like always. Mika was packing her stuff lazily as Leah was just about to leave the room too."Leah""What is it?", Leah didn't glance at her."What are your thoughts about the last night?""Dam!""Huh!", Mika furrowed, "What kind of reaction is that?""That was a damn scary unexpected night.""Hmmm", Mika nodded."What do you think about Lucia?", Mika asked further after a long break.Leah didn't say a thing but started doing her bed which was already been done."The man was c
One of the men who was earlier holding the 38-year-old Rex captive held Rex's neck low when Rex tried to raise his voice against Princess Angelica.Valentine looked at Angelica thinking maybe it would have bothered her a little bit but when he turned to look at her, she had an unbothered expression on her face. She closes her phone and said something to Valentine."They will be here by an hour.""That is quick", Valentine was surprised. His uncle is in another country and flying from one to another usually takes a lot longer. Visa process and all but then he thought that she and her family isn't someone normal but the monarch of the west and it made much more sense.~~~Valentine sat next to Angelica but the awkwardness had f
Before the end of the knife could touch Angelica she dodged it but the man’s actions cannot be stopped. He raised the knife again for another hit and this time Lucia cannot doge it, she had hit her back in the bedpost and there was no other way out.Noise from many men running towards the room hushed and in no time the man was held captive. He struggled to set himself free from the two men holding, his knife was taken away.“Ahhhh”, the man held captive was making a ruckus now.Valentine brought them all here and his timing was awesome. One more second and no one can guarantee what would have happened next.Lucia relaxed her chest catching the breaths she mixed. Valentine had no time to look at the man held captive. He gave a hand to L
Leah stood up on her feet. To see what is happening, it took her some time before she could adjust to the brightness of the room but now that she could see clearly. Nothing was making sense to her.Who was knocking at the door in the middle of the night. Why are they standing still shocked in front of the door?What is happening there?Stella asked whispering into Lucia's ears, "Who is it at the door?""I do not know that but we should not open the door at any cost."Leah heard the whispering and was caught off guard with all this happening around them.A thief or burglary is not possible at hostels but then what else could it be that they
Scientist George Milton searched for what was it, that made it work out and he was confused to see the outcome. His old commands didn’t work the last time and were showing problems in the functioning. And now it worked smoothly and when he searched for more, he found out that there have been more commands that he doesn't remember entering. It feels like something that only he could enter but he doesn’t remember doing it but he doesn't think anyone else than him did it. He was thrown a bunch of questions.Why weren’t the terms working earlier and what happened this time? And who else could have the same brain as him? Or was it really hi?Or did the future him be involved in all this?But why would his future one stop him in the very first place?
Valentine went to visit scientist George Milton.“So, how is it all going?”, Valentine said.George was discussing something with his subordinates but he dismissed them when he heard Valentine and asked him to follow him to the office.Scientist George handed Valentine the documents he got from the secret team.“These are all. They have got from their research.”“I see”, Valentine glanced through them.“They were curious as to why you stopped them from further research. I didn’t tell you that you have already found the girl. They claim to have found someone who knows where the princess Angelica Kenneth is.”
Lucia has come back.She went to her hostel room to find Leah and Mika are arguing over something and Stella seems done from all this. She sat on her bed listening to music and scrolling through her mobile phone screen.“Girls, What’s up with this kitty fight?”“Mika has gone mad again”, Leah complained with her arms closed.“You’re dating and we never knew it”, Mika cried.“WHAAattt!!”, Lucia said, “I am dating and I don’t know a thing about it”“What do you mean?”Mika asked, “What’s with you hiding about going out with a male? You're not dating him, so What are you doing?”
"I lost my appetite", Lucia stood from her seat, "I am going to take some fresh air" and she left.Valentine has never hated his decision of starting a conversation like this before. He himself was worried from hearing so many people after her life. But her reaction has worried him even more. He clenched his hands and then called out for someone to clean it all.Valentine joined Lucia by sitting next to her in an open garden which was situated behind the resort. Lucia didn't see him coming so she was a bit surprised when she sensed someone sitting next to her but then it was Valentine, she relaxed."What was it, inside?""Nevermind", Lucia tried standing only to get pulled by Valentine.She was on him, her one hand rested on
There came a knock on the door, "Meal is ready".Valentine's hand was too close from her face, almost about to touch them but he retrieved his hand back."Let's go", he said standing. Lucia stood next awkward.~~~"Lucy, come here", Valentine did the seat and after making her sit, he sat back on his seat. He asked everyone to leave them alone."Lucy, I was curious if you were ever to go back to your home.""Before leaving, I told them all, I ain't returning back, never", Lucia cut her food, "why do you ask? Does it matter to you?""It doesn't matter and yet it does. But anyway", Valentine started cutting his meat too," Actu
