All Chapters of The Boy Behind The Red Door: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Lesley's group was sitting next to each other at the same table. Catharina was in the middle beside Kieran and Dan, while she sat next to Kieran and Iston on the other side.She looked around for Amanda and Patrick but couldn't see them anywhere. Another group of people grabbed her attention, and that was the four mutants who helped them escape from MNA. As far as she remembered, they were Jacoben's men.After a while, four women came to their table and brought them food and drinks."My God, Lanz! We need to catch up, big time!" Catharina exclaimed as if she couldn't wait to talk to her brother.Kieran smiled at his sister. "Yeah, I'm excited to hear how you managed to do all of these.""Well, I got a lot of help, especially from Jacoben. He's the one who told me about everything that happened. That guy just never gave up on you.""That's because he's a good man... which is also his weakness," answered the young man with sadness in his eyes.Catharina sighed. "Right. I feel sorry for

What just happened? Lesley asked herself.Why can't she be happy despite all the good things that happened today? What is wrong with her?Her palms clenched, and tears fell uncontrollably from her eyes when she realized what was making her feel so heavy and discontented. She couldn't stop comparing Kieran to his old self. She even referred to him as Bangs earlier in front of Catharina by accident. It seems she is yet to move on, that the man he used to be is gone.The man who always longed for her and respected her. The man who will never force her and promised to wait when she is ready to give her first.She hugged herself tightly and sobbed. "Bangs... Bangs..." she bitterly called the name of the man she loved over and over again.She cried all night. She didn't know how long she was like that, but all her remaining strength drained until the lids of her eyes closed, and she surrendered to sleep. It was already noon when she woke up. If it wasn't for the loud knocks on the door, sh

"Don't ignore me," he said in a low and harsh tone. "Answer my question.""Change topic," she responded indifferently.He became annoyed at her trying to dodge his questions. "Did you kiss?"She coughed, almost choking on her food, and then quickly reached for the glass of water and drank it. Then face him again. "Why do you want to know that? That's in the past. We're over now, so don't ask about it.""But I want to know! Do you know how heartbroken I was during those times? I was so insecure of him!""Don't be.""So, did you?""What?""You kissed, didn't you?"Her cheeks blushed. "Well," she cleared her throat, "just a few times. But it's nothing compared to your experience. You've been with a lot of women. Do you know what men like you are called nowadays?""What are you—""Fuckboy. That's what they call you now, and it does not sound nice."He gaped wide in shock. "What— Fuck what?!""Ah, that's it! Nevermind. We're done eating. Return the trays and dishes," she snorted."Wait! Wh

"How about you? Do you have someone like Jacoben?" Catharina asked, grabbing the chair next to Lesley and sat. Lesley's smile gradually faded. "Uhm, no, nothing either.""You're kidding, right? Someone as pretty and kind as you don't have a friend? I find that hard to believe."She sighed, and a dry smile formed on her lips. "I was busy with my studies too. I wanted to make my mother as happy as possible, so all my attention was on her and our family. I didn't even have time for myself. And... I'm not a very confident person, and I'm a bit reserved. I guess people thought I was weird." "Oh... I see. I hope you find friends here. We have girls here who are your age. Do you want me to introduce you to them?""No. It's alright," she politely declined and then rotated her head to look around. "It's beautiful here.""Thank you! I decorated this room," Catharina said proudly, slightly raising her chin. "The furniture here is from our mansion in Luxembourg. I brought it here to the Philipp

Lesley took several deep breaths after she and Catharina arrived at this little garden above the hideout. They went outside to get some fresh air so she could liven up a little and feel relieved from all she had discovered today.They walked around the garden as Catharina showed off some of the plants she had worked so hard to grow and flourish. Thanks to her, Lesley felt better.After they had gone around the garden, a woman came and whispered something to Catharina. The beautiful woman has a porcelain complexion and squinty eyes. She was small and slender, like a doll. They seem to be the same age, but most of all, she is a human. This is the first time she has seen anyone who is not a mutant in the two Crimson Clan hideouts other than Mrs. Dapit and Catharina.Lesley can now sense mutants better than when she was still in MNA. Back then, she wondered how she could do that, but now she knows why she could feel their presence. She has the Nobles Blood flowing in her system, the blood
