Claire just couldn't hold it anymore. She could feel her mouth opening slowly. She also felt as if her soul was being pulled out of her earthly body. What more could she do now? Her body has no strength. Without any ability to protect herself. She doesn't even have a memory. She didn't even know how to survive the impending danger. "Get off her!"Jayden stopped sipping and let go of her. Claire seemed to be filled with hope when she heard the familiar voice of a woman. She was like a piece of paper falling on a cold concrete floor. From where she was, she could watch a woman wrestle with the soul sucker. Her figure is familiar. She recognized the woman by the occasional glimpse of her face during the fight. This is the astral body that was with Jacob in the parking area. This is the woman who tried to ask Jacob to leave while Jayden was attacking her.What and why is she helping her now? Even though Claire didn't understand, she was grateful. At least she still has a chance to stay in
Jacob frowned. Why all of a sudden, he could hear Claire's thoughts? Whereas when she was just a human, no matter how hard he tried to listen to the girl's thoughts, he couldn't. Just when he didn't care anymore why his mortal ability to her wasn't working, then it peeked out again.Just like last twenty years. When he was weak, he heard Claire's grievances, her regret for what she had done and her complete absorption and self-confession of how much sin she had committed against him even though she was far away.Jacob was struck with extreme fear and trepidation, Is it possible that he was only hearing Claire's thoughts when he was about to lose her?Jacob shook his head and gently looked at the girl leaning on him. He reached her body and pressed her tightly to his body, then kissed the top of her head. He was in that position for a long time. He could not explain the intense fear and nervousness. Claire could not be lost to him. He will not agree. Never. He will do everything to sto
Claire was hurt by what she heard. It was as if her chest wanted to explode as Dan's reproachful look flashed in her mind again and again. She just cares, why is he still angry? What is wrong with what she said? She just wants to help him. Dan has come close to her and feels sorry for his situation.Also, Claire can help him too. Because if Dan surrenders to Gami, she will be able to survive the deal and also be able to complete one of her missions.Was that fair enough?Maybe.Dan must have been whispered by the devil so the mood suddenly changed. Didn't he feel a dark aura around him?Yes, that must be the demon. She needs to talk to Gami.Claire quickly returned to the lodging and approached the few candles. She wanted to be depressed but she stopped herself. Hopefully, before her time runs out, she can at least do something good. Hopefully, she will be able to say goodbye to Jacob properly.Claire called Gami's name across the room. Hoping that he will hear her. That he will sudde
After a long cry, Claire went out to visit Dan in the office. She wants to know what happened to her boss. Because if Dan is going to say goodbye to the world, he will definitely want it inside his business building. But Dan was not in his office. She thought of going to the rooftop and the man might be there."Get back!""Huh?"Confused, Claire turned to Gami when he grabbed her arm. They almost flew at the speed of his action just away from her on the rooftop. It's like being chased by a running demon. She didn't understand why he couldn't just teleport like he used to."Wait, what's going on? Why are we running?""I've been tracked by the soul society. They can't catch me. If you're wondering why we can't teleport, well, good news! I was banned from using it the moment I faced one of the members of the council."Claire was nervous. She has been thinking and having problems a lot. Then now, something else is added. How long will her run end? At first it was Jayden's, now it's the so
"It's time," said the male-voiced soul reaper.Claire did nothing but walk. Here she is again, walking into eternity. There is no end to pain and sadness. But hope is alive in her heart. God has mercy. If she made a mistake, she believed that He would forgive her if she could show deep remorse."Gami?" she suddenly asked the soul reaper."That cunning soul reaper?" he sighed. "There is no sinner who goes unpunished. And he will soon face his punishment.""H-has he been caught yet?" Claire asked nervously.Claire was still worried about him. Besides, she had a participation in what happened to Gami. If she hadn't agreed to her cunning deal, if she had trusted that everything would be fair, it wouldn't have happened. She will not remember everything, how she died and why she died. The separation between her and Jacob won't be so painful anymore.But when did goodbyes not hurt? When did it become easy to say goodbye?"Not yet. But soon." She heard a sigh again. "Why is he still not learn
"Since half of the allowed time to solve your unfinished business has been consumed... in a wrong way... the other half will fall into a shorter time."Claire heard a loud voice from the void.She didn't know who was talking or where it was coming from. After she was let into the pathway that also had darkness, her life flashed all around for a moment. Even the compromise she made with Gami. Which is strictly prohibited. It is said that her sentence should be three hundred years of walking in darkness until she sees the light. But she thinks her weight has changed in the scales of sins and good deeds. Today, her sentence was changed. She was suddenly filled with hope."Thirty-minutes," said the loud voice again."Because you have been a good person while living and your heart has been stained with darkness because of circumstances and beliefs, you will still be rewarded. Thirty minutes of returning to the mortal world to finish what you need to finish in the world of the living. You c
Claire was already inside the judgment hall; she could see nothing else inside the judgment hall but a blinding light. The interior of the judgment hall was very large and spacious. She turned behind her to look for the soul reaper who brought her inside the judgment hall but she disappeared like a bubble. She was alone inside when a light aura coming in front of her."Hello? Is anyone there?” Claire asked.It wasn't long before sher heard a hum in the distance, "Welcome, Claire," said a familiar voice."W-Who are you? Are you God?” it was a trembling question."It's not important who I am, what's important is the things you did while you were alive and the illegal deal you made with Gami. You, Claire? Tell me, do you really know who you are?”Claire was suddenly silenced by the question. She didn't know how to answer it. Does she really know herself? She wasn't sure...Claire took a deep breath and tried to calm herself."Actually, I thought I knew myself. I let go of the things that
"What are you doing?" Gami asked in surprise."Um..sorry, I just amaze with the family picture of you and your family. Me with my family haven't any family pictures," Claire answered sadly."Oh, sorry to hear that. Well, that family picture has been around for a long time. That was the last picture we had as a complete family.”"As a complete family?" Claire asked in surprise."Yes, my mom died in a car accident because of me... she saved me. I should have died but she blocked her body to protect me from the accident. After that, dad changed...everything changed.""I am sorry, I can feel that feeling as well, it hurts that we have not been able to do anything to protect our loved ones.""Can you relate to me?""Yes, actually, I lost my dad...and I blame myself like you...and I blame my mom as well for why dad died. I hated my mom for so long because of the loss of my dad but I eventually found out that my life was full of lies.""Lies?" Gami asked in surprise."Yeah, well, let's not t
"Where's Kaitlin?"Milla don't want to ask that but it's necessary. She hadn't seen the woman since her family arrived there. She wants to know everything about the house they will live in temporarily."She's in her room. She's not feeling well," Renz answered."Is she sick?""No, she just feels bad."Milla immediately suspected something bad happened. If the woman isn't sick, if she wasn't wounded in a fight or bitten by a wolf and didn't come down to meet them, there must be something wrong."Doesn't she want us here?" Milla asked."Oh, no. She doesn't care about that. We are just having a few personal problems. You don't have to worry about her."Milla did not comment further. She no longer cares if their problems are personal. She continued to walk. Renz followed her. She waits for what he has to say as if it won't come and she drowns in the tension between them."Shall we talk about the plan?" Milla reminded."Oh, that. Yes, of course. I just suddenly remembered when I left you o
The helicopter still in the air, Milla already knew something bad had happened. A distant view of the smoke coming from the location of the estate. The underground town is under the mansion and the entire subdivision where it resides."Renz, w-what do you think is going on?" Milla asked.He didn't say a word and maneuvered the helicopter down. He immediately slung the bag containing the weapons over his shoulder and ran through the estate. Surrounding the subdivision, are the members of the Armată. Renz immediately asked one of them. They find out that Rollin blew up Rasulo three hours ago. Many were killed, the estate and the houses in the subdivision collapsed. For now, the situation is under control although the lives lost cannot be brought back.Milla's steps are fast to find her daughter. She immediately saw her, along with her grandmother. The girl was holding the Barbie doll and the music box that Renz had given her before."Are you all right, sweetie?"Ryana nodded."When we h
"You didn't have to come here, Renz!"Milla was irritated again when she saw Renz at the door. She was ready for a bloody fight when she felt the presence of their kind outside the cabin. Laura would never linger outside the house so she thought it was an enemy. Renz was the only one there."You might be late.""You've been walking around outside for a while.""I was checking security."Milla can't accept that Renz will join her on a mission but she can't do anything. She also couldn't give up her job. She will not be content in a quiet place if she knows that she is not doing anything to end the ongoing war. Maybe one day, she will wake up without her daughter. She can't forgive herself when it happens.When the bedroom door opened, she immediately turned to her daughter. She just held the walking doll while staring at Renz. "Go back to your room, Ryana."A few moments passed before she obeyed. She carried her bag. There were her weapons."You gave her such a masculine name. Why coul
‘My life was quiet, you came again and all my strategies were ruined again. I really hate you, Renz!’ Milla was restless. Renz is determined to tell the Consilium about her. She just agreed because she was given no other choice. Apart from that, she is also struggling to find out where she lives, if she is safe there because Rollin's men are said to be scattered all over Romania. Rollin wanted his homeland to be the center of his power. Rather than Renz finding out about their son, she preferred to agree with him, comforting him for the time being by agreeing to appear before the Consilium. But she will not allow him to come to her house.As soon as they entered Rasulo, nostalgia filled Milla's heart. It had been a long time since she last went there but it was still as beautiful as before."Do you remember our many dates here?" Ren asked her."Shut up!" she returned irritated."What's wrong with you?""I'm not happy when married men want to reminisce with me," she blurted out.Renz i
"Renz, this is a very important mission."Renz immediately nodded at what Sorin said. The mission was not sanctioned by the entire Council. Only the two Supremes Sorin and Stevan know."You are going there alone and once and for all, will find out if there is indeed a mercenary."Renz nodded again. Even if the two didn't say it, he knew they doubted Laura. Laura always carries information that is said to be from one of her trusted personnel. No one knows who that person of Laura is or if there is such a thing. Although all the information from that "mercenary" helped a lot, they didn't know if it was true. What if Laura herself, is just making up all those stories and her loyalty has also changed? Information can be helpful, but it might just be a pitfall in a larger plan.It seemed impossible but at this time they could not trust anyone. Their allies are turning their backs, loyal allies are doubting their ability. Rollin's time had come.What Renz witnessed that Rollin did in some o
"Are you all right?"Milla couldn't answer Ryan's question. They were already on the plane and she hadn't slept much. Her eyes were puffy and she was sweating coldly while suppressing body tremors. She knew that her bad feelings weren't just because she was angry. Something inside of her was crippling her. She would have thought that she also had typhoid fever from there but she was not in the last mission where they went to drink water from there."What are you feeling?"That's when Milla's stomach felt a terrible pain. Almost all the passengers looked at her, maybe because of the loudness of her shouting. They were immediately attended to by flight attendants.Milla screamed several times inside the plane. Unfortunately, they were going to Singapore and the trip was short.When the plane landed, an ambulance was waiting and she was taken to the nearest hospital. They tested her. She was hooked on dextrose. The pain does not go away and she is crying because of that."You're pregnant
It's like Milla is back to being a teenager. She didn't know what to wear. She even bought a new dress at a mall for that day. She and Renz will talk in depth later because they haven't been able to talk clearly in the past because of Kaitlin's appearance.That time, She would make sure everything was clear between them. She hopes that the result of their heart-to-heart talk will be good. She saw no other reason for Renz's words than that they shared the same feelings. It was obvious. Renz himself said that if his feelings for her were simply love for a friend, he wouldn't have done all that. Maybe Renz is only now realizing his feelings. Maybe like all men in the world, he had to experience what the world can offer before understanding that there is only one woman who is different from everyone else and the one, he loves and wants.“That's me!" Milla laughed and spoke. She was so happy that she couldn't hold a single thought in her head.It was only three in the afternoon, when Renz
"You're awfully quiet."Mill turned to Ryan. They are in a lodge and tomorrow they will drive to another province. Their mission in the Province is over. She just couldn't help but regret because she didn't see Renz. He didn't know when she got here that she was in the province. She is not sure if his cousin said that.According to Renz’s cousin, Renz also at that place but the man chose not to show himself. What exactly is new there? Why is she still sad? Didn't she decide that that phase of her life with him was over?"I'm just missing my family," she just said to Ryan."Are you going to be, okay?"Milla answered with a nod and a smile. She went to her room. She sighed steadily while peering out the window. Renz’s cousin said, he will just watch until they leave. He did not appear to his companions but before they returned to the plains, he appeared to her. He was a kind guy, indeed, and funny, too.‘Renz, you jerk. Why am I missing you so much?’ Milla decided to lie down. They stil
"She's looking at you. Damn."Renz secretly winced at what his cousin said. They were in a pub and there is a nice woman looking at Renz. It wasn't the first time something like that had happened. "Sorry, cousin.""Hey, don't tell me you're sorry, man. You're adding insult to injury."Renz laughed. He glanced at his cousin female target. She was so beautiful, all right. He likes Latina. She is... What exactly does he want in a woman? But he no longer knows now. He had tried them all. And he vowed to keep on trying. When he promised Ronnie's grandmother he would not take her away, a part of his life stopped and a new and different life began.He made it begin, forced himself for it to begin. He taught himself to play and join the dance that he should have been joining. Why couldn't he be like his cousin who would screw any pretty lady who was interested in him? He planted in his mind what his mother had said."You're at the prime of your life-live well or regret not having lived. Go ou
