"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
Claire blinked. Why is there a troubled feeling inside her chest just because of that idea? Why does she like the idea that Jacob is protecting her? And why does she feel like she's been with him for a long time even though she hasn't?Even though there were many times that they were together, whether it was intentional or not, the fact that Jacob was still a stranger was still there. She didn't know anything about him aside from his name, that he lived in a rich subdivision and that he was ignorant when it came to modern gadgets. That was it. Claire could not use that as a basis to remove him from the category of being a stranger."But... why me? How... I mean, we didn't know each other," Claire asked confused but got no answer.Jacob broke the long silence as if he couldn't stand it anymore. "It just happened…" he said as if he had trouble saying the words. Even he seemed confused. "I'm just curious about you because I couldn't compel you. I can't hear what you're thinking.""So, va
