All Chapters of Miss Cold Gaze: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

On a normal day, inside Delicacy Umbrella, a popular fast food restaurant. The bustling place appears to be a beautiful picture from a healthy distance. But as we zoom in, we find details that are not as pretty as they seemed. Every single person sitting in that restaurant has a story behind being there at that particular time. Like zooming in on a photo to see its ugly details, we are going to find out about the life of Bob and Collin, a father and son who look as if they are just some other customers having family time. Collin, a 9-year-old with teeth yet to grow completely, was having a burger in a rather messy way to end up leaving a stain made of ketchup on his t-shirt. Bob, his father had his gaze stuck on Collin adorably eating the burger. He looked content watching that sight, even with a stomach empty since a time that was enough to have him starving by now. Colin swallowed a bit intensely like he had something to say. "Dad, are those men still coming for you? Then I will be

Oriel stood by the lifeless body of her father, not knowing what death meant. "Dad! get up! Dad!" She shook him to exhaust all her strength, expecting him to wake up any minute. Collin, who had witnessed the same feeling earlier that day, could communicate with her pain. "Oriel! try to understand." The nurse who chaperoned the kids in the morgue was constantly telling them to leave, but Oriel had her tiny fingers interlocked with her father's. "Dad! come with me," she cried. The nurse forcefully brought the kids outside, near the desk and yelled at Oriel, who kept trying to sneak inside. "Hey! you... behave." Her hand was firmly clutching her arm, and Oriel groaned from the pain of a strong grip. Collin came forward and released her hand from the nurse's. "I will keep an eye on her, she will behave." "Oh god! What crappy day?" spoke the agitated nurse. "Now, you little demons better tell me the number of some adult in your family." The nurse had the receiver in her hand and a fi

When the day that felt longer than eternity ended, Oriel and Collin woke up together in their new home. They felt unfamiliar to open their eyes in that room and they looked at the clock."Oriel! get up, it's 9 am already," Collin told her.She didn't know how to read the clock, and while stretching her little arms the air, she rose and sat up on the bed. "My school is at 8 am. How much time is remaining?" she asked."You can't even tell time?" Collin asked in bafflement. "You say that moon is bigger than the sun, and you can't read time also, what do you even study in school?"All of a sudden, Bella barged in through the door. "Collin," she shouted as she fervently marched to him. "What are you doing here? Come with me, Roger wants to meet you."Collin was dragged by Bella, holding his hand to take him outside of the room, "Oriel!" she called. "You should come too."Oriel went nervous, reluctant to get up from the bed. But she didn't have any other choice except following what Bella h

Bella had received a fervent plea from Bob: to identify the dead body of George as his, so that he could emerge out of the dangers and threats that circled that name. Bella, although reluctant and unyielding at first, wavered at what Bob offered her in return: he convinced her that he would never try to find Collin."Are you telling the truth?" she asked taking the first step toward consenting to do as he was saying. "I won't leave you alone if you're lying."Bob talked Bella into his plan and she gave in to the conditions profiting for both of them. "Okay! now all I have to do is to identify him as my ex-husband, which means you."After hanging up the call, Bella went inside the hospital and approached the same desk, asking for an alteration in the documents stamped by her. "The body belongs to my ex-husband Bob Hastings," she changed her claim from the one she made previously.The nurse at the reception was suspicious when she saw Bella flipping from her words, "Mam, didn't you say

After the sun went on its short hiatus, Bella returned home by herself. She had walked out taking Oriel but seeing her coming back without her, Collin poured his queries out."I was able to find someone from her family: I think it was her uncle. They told me that they had been out, finding her for the last two days. They took Oriel with them and were very happy to see her again. They also told me how grateful they are to us for taking care of her," said Bella, smiling till her teeth flashed and a voice that didn't waver while spewing the lies."It is great that she has returned her home, back to her family. Although, I really wanted her to stay with us," Roger spoke in a slight letdown.Meanwhile, Harry was not convinced by her story, "It's not possible. She told me that she didn't have any relatives or friends in this town. She had only recently moved here.""Collin," Bella spoke. "Are you saying that I have lied to you?""Honey! Collin didn't mean that. He was just trying to clear a
