"Who the heck is that man, anyway? Didn't even express gratitude!" Claire said and walk to her room upset. She feigned to be gullible to let that visitor in, whose name she remembered to be Jacob because up until this point she couldn't believe it herself. His name certainly sounded like a devilish individual with no manners and didn't even get a chance to thank her for Claire's assistance.Claire began to wonder about him more and more. Why is that man so strange, and who is he?Claire promises to herself that she won't offer assistance the following time that he begs for a favor even when her car broke down, and took her home and rescued her.Those things are what make Claire feel guilty and compel her to do the man a simple favor. But now she already paid for the favors that Jacob did to her. They now quits.Claire took her phone from her pocket and suddenly remembers Jacob's contact information. She promptly recalled the phone number of the device. She noted down Jacob's phone num
"Calm down, Claire. You're not a lunatic or whatever," Doc Mia laughed, her psychologist friend.Claire had no intention of taking out a grudge or concern for others' lives. She can't trust anyone except her dad. But because of the strange things happening to her lately, she changed her mind.Despite having many colleagues and friends, Doc Mia was the first person she thought of consulting. Mia is four years ahead of her and often goes back and forth to another country for work. In fact, Mia just came back from Europe. She became close friends with the doctor when Claire did training at the Medical Center.And Claire was almost hysterical crying when she entered Doc Mia's office. Claire told everything she had experienced in the past. She also said that she was afraid that she might be going crazy."It's the result of too much stress. And your independence from problems. That's not good for people either. You know that because you're a doctor," Doc Mia explainedClaire agreed with her
"Damn it!"Jacob casually threw the phone in a part of their mansion. He was very upset because he didn't get anything from the internet. In addition to the fact that there is so much that appears in the search engine that has nothing to do with what he wants to know."The sneaky gadget is useless but for people, it is very reliable. What the fuck?!" he said to himself."Hey? Why did you throw it away? It's a shame." Zara picked up the phone he dropped and approached Jacob. Jacob looked back at the phone that was in Zara's hand. "Well, the phone is still alive. But keep that crazy thing away from me!" Jacob said stiffly and went straight to the window. He looked for a moment to see if there was still light. He groaned as the afternoon light hit him."Shit! Fuck shit!" Jacob giggled and fixed the curtain."What's wrong with you, Jacob? Why are you so angry?" Zara approached him curiously and handed over the phone.Jacob looked at it for a few moments, before taking it from his sister a
Claire suddenly stepped on the brake of the car when someone appeared in her path. It was as if a woman crossed. Her long hair covers her face and wearing jeans and a T-shirt. Claire thinks she bumped into it because she felt like something was thrown. Claire was nervous.The road is dark. There are no streetlights on the bumpy road. The light coming from the front light of her car is not enough.Claire came from a medical mission. The medical mission ended at six o'clock but she sent the other fellow doctors ahead. She went straight to one of her aunties who live nearby with her family. She could have slept there because her aunt didn't want to send her out since it was ten o'clock at night already and it was difficult to travel. But she still had a schedule the next day so she insisted on going home.Someone was able to teach her that there was a shortcut to the national highway and how to avoid the potholes that she passed earlier on her way. But it seems that she is getting furthe
And she actually even thought of that compliment in such an intense situation..."Get inside your damn car and lock it!" Jacob screamed at her as he threw Jaden to the ground.One hand of Jacob restrained Jaden's arm while the other hand was strangled around Jaden's neck. Jaden struggled to stand up and, in a moment, the two switched positions. Jacob is already under while he is still choking Jaden. Jaden squeezed Jacob's jaw and forced the mouth open. Jaden's mouth opened and something like white smoke was coming out of Jacob's mouth. Jaden landed one more on Jacob's stomach and Jacob moaned as his mouth continued to hang open. Claire doesn't understand but she has a feeling that she should stop the two from whatever is happening between them.Instead of getting inside the car, she turned around. Claire looked around and looked for anything to smack Jaden with. She found a rather large chunk of rock. She took it and patted Jaden on the shoulder. To her surprise, the man didn't move e
Claire was distracted when she felt the light hit her face. It was coming from the left window and the light was hitting her directly.She suddenly turned around and looked around. She's still in the car. Did she get home from the province and was tired from driving so she decided to sleep first? Or is she still stranded in the lazy shortcut? But that was not the last scene in her memory but the fight between the two men.Claire gasped when she noticed the driver's seat. There is a sleeping man. It's Jacob!"What is he doing there? And what happened last night? What happened to Jayden? How did the two ends up wrestling?" Claire asks herself.Again, Claire wanted to panic as she remembered the incredible scenes. It's impossible for the two to float in the air while fighting. It was probably just brought on by her dizziness when her head hit the front of the car. That's right. It was impossible that her last memory was correct.Claire approached the sleeping man. He looks pale. If his l
Claire should feel creepiness at the idea that Jacob actually is stalking her. But that was not the feeling that invaded his personality. Knowing that Jacob was right there beside her, Claire felt secure and safe. Because she knows someone will always show up to protect her."You're so ungrateful," Jacob said as if disappointed.Claire felt guilty afterward."Anyway, I've been paid for helping me learn to use a phone. So now, it's quit. I don't owe you anymore. I guess you can drive back to the city by yourself. You're on the national highway already." Jacob suddenly got out of the car and left her there.Claire was just stunned. Jacob quickly entered the wooded part of the land and completely disappeared from her sight. Where the man went, she had no idea. She also couldn't think of a reason why he entered that wooded area which, as far as she knew, it was private property based on the signage.Claire blinked for a moment and tried to bring herself back to the present. Whatever Jacob
"This is just a dream. Later, I'll wake up in my bed and remember how I got home after my busy schedule today. Right? I didn't see you today. You didn't ask me for coffee and you didn't take me to the rooftop. Right? This isn't happening. I need to wake myself up!" Claire said almost mortified. She sounded crazy. But the few minutes that passed were really crazy. She seems so much has happened.When Claire was about to slap her cheeks again, Jacob stopped her. He had a tight grip on her. His gaze is also dark, a sign that he does not like what he sees."You're right. I didn't ask you to have coffee. Not because I don't like to be with you but because I don't drink coffee," Jacob said as if he wanted Claire to understand. His voice was still cold but not as deep as before. Just smooth and nice to listen to.How could he do that? How is he able to change the timbre of his voice without any effort? Is that one of his talents?"Right. And I'm not even talking to you now. I need to wake up
"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
