No one can say no to affection

Each of them had their own agenda, but Zayne focused his attention as he couldn’t continue to let his mind wander. Furthermore, he was secretly delighted since he would be meeting the legendary figure soon.Jason drove the car steadily until they reached a desolate place. Naturally, how could a big shot easily tell them where he or she was? Right now, they could only wait here until someone took them away. Jason and Zayne got out of the car and leaned against it, for those people would arrive in about a few minutes. At this moment, they felt that time flew by slowly, and every second felt so long. Zayne moved closer to Jason’s side. About three minutes later, three to five brawny men turned up on the clearing.Both of them exchanged glances. The brawny men were holding face coverings in their hands, and they promptly handed them out as soon as they walked up to the pair. Of course, Jason and Zayne obediently covered their entire faces. They wondered what special materials the face cov

The world small

Heather hadn’t been staying in the forest for long, but she deeply felt how lonely the forester must’ve been. What puzzled her the most was the fact that there wasn’t even a TV, and he was probably out of touch with society. She leaned against the window sill while looking at the tiny bit of greens outside the window.Everything was deathly still in winter, but that little bit of life was enough to warm the heart. Heather was bored stiff, so she would often relieve her boredom in such a way. If it weren’t for the deepening dusk and the daybreak, she wouldn’t have known how much time had passed. Why isn’t there something to check the time inside this house? she thought to herself.Heather felt increasingly bored; she couldn’t find anything interesting, nor did she see anyone. In her mind, she planned to give the forester a TV as a present. After all, every industry was different, and they were equally worthy of respect.She would get to meet Zayne one day and one night later, whom she

Awkward

Suddenly, the term ‘Bradfort City’ felt so distant. Heather looked at Zayne while he stood next to her, but she didn’t know what to say. It seemed as though he had seen through her helplessness, so he turned to the other side as things were getting rather awkward and there was nothing that could be said to alleviate it.When she was leaving, she turned around and took a last look at the grove. To her, everything that had happened felt so much like a dream as she would soon have to face the reality back in Bradfort City. As she pondered on that, she recollected her thoughts and emotions. Unlike how she typically welcomed disputes before, she now feared that what was coming her way might be too enormous for her, and she grew afraid that she couldn’t overcome it like she always did.“It seems like you haven’t been resting well. If you’re tired, you can grab a quick nap in the car,” Zayne chivalrously advised when he saw the dark circles under her eyes. Perhaps even the hut was a challeng

Continuous rejection

Not long after, Heather walked out of the bedroom. As he looked at her confused face, Zayne suspected whether she was sleepwalking.That apparently wasn’t the case, for she questioned him after remembering his home didn’t look this way, “Where is this place?”“I bought this new place, and you’re paying for it.” He felt compelled to remind her that the house wasn’t cheap.As she was baffled by his sudden request for funds, she stared at him and wondered if it was a secret.“Why did you buy it, though?” Since she was unable to comprehend his decision, Heather continued to gawk at him. Although buying a house wasn’t an issue for her, it certainly didn’t seem necessary for him to do so.Upon hearing that, Zayne gave her a tender smile as if she had agreed to pay for it. However, he was too lazy to get into the details as to why he had acquired the property at the moment.Thus, he simply answered, “For safety reasons.” He let her figure out the rest for herself.Meanwhile, Heather squinted

A Genius flaw

Right now, Heather somewhat regretted her phrasing. Indeed, the word ‘Incompatible’ had been a little overkill, and it was getting thrown back in her face right now.Jason stood silently by the side like he was invisible, whereas Heather and Zayne just ignored his existence. Although he heard their conversation, he was a little confused about the relationships between everyone involved. One moment they would be talking about Leon, and one moment they would be talking about Matthias; it seemed that those two had ties with Heather.“I won’t get help from him. If you won’t help, then fine,” Heather said those harsh words quietly.Zayne took in Heather’s child-like face. Sometimes, he wondered if Heather’s maturity was a misconception instead, for her current stubbornness was just like a rebellious child’s.“I’ll arrange a place for you to stay. Remember not to go out often.” In the end, Zayne couldn’t ignore her, and he couldn’t leave her alone without helping.“Thanks, Zayne. I knew tha

The murderous intent

With that, they spent the night in the villa. Zayne kept tossing and turning in the darkness, unable to sleep no matter how he tried. He thought about how Heather was to his left and Jason was to his right.The two most important people were in the rooms next to his, and Zayne felt that it was surreal. The nicer things were, the easier it was to shatter it. For some reason, he thought of Murphy’s Law as his mind tangled itself into a ball of chars. Although he was great at handling cases, he was never good at figuring out his feelings.Jason had been chatty recently, and Zayne had no idea whether he was thinking over the suggestion he gave earlier. With that, he turned over and continued to think about it.Likewise, Heather couldn’t sleep as well; she wondered whether it was because she had slept during the day or if it was because she had been constantly sleeping on the couch. Now that she was on a bed, she couldn’t fall asleep whatsoever.This was a sleepless night, and the only one

A world with two brothers

Typically, people felt embarrassed while talking about money matters. When Jason heard Zayne bringing that up all of a sudden, his heart clenched since he didn’t quite know how to respond.“I don’t really have any hobbies, and I don’t have anything else to spend my money on,” Jason said, having forced an answer out. After all, he wasn’t used to talking about this with anyone.Zayne also thought that he was overstepping boundaries, so he smiled and said, “Just asking. Don’t think too much about it.” It hadn’t been easy improving his relationship with Jason, and he didn’t want to make a misstep.Awkward moments occurred frequently between the two brothers, and when they did, the awkwardness would linger for more than just a day or two. Jason didn’t look like he minded, though, for he wouldn’t hold a grudge over it. At any rate, he just felt odd about it.The pair looked at each other tacitly before turning away again, and Zayne regretted his words. Meanwhile, Jason calmed himself down a

A glorious cage

When they were leaving, Jason hastily climbed into the passenger seat, so Zayne naturally became their driver. Nevertheless, he was in a very good mood after a satisfying meal, so he paid no mind to such a small inconvenience.He pulled open the car door and entered the driver’s seat before promptly starting the engine. Meanwhile, back in the villa, Heather had already woken up. She came out of her room and looked around the empty house, noticing that there was not a single person around.Heather’s mouth twitched at the realization that Zayne had left without a word first thing in the morning. Didn’t he tell her that it was important to stay hidden for the time being? In the end, he was the one who had gone out instead.Since there was no one at home, Heather decided to head downstairs to the living room; this villa was truly an empty shell to live in. Right now, she was starving, so she went straight to the kitchen. After pulling open the fridge, she found that it was also as empty a

He knew everything

When did Zayne even contact that man? Heather felt that Zayne seemed to be keeping a lot of things from her. However, at this rate, that person would show up at any time if they kept on stalling like this.Heather sunk into the sofa in distress once again. Since that man was able to come to an agreement with Zayne, he had probably made his fair share of sacrifices.When she put it that way, Heather no longer felt as stressed to meet him. After all, Zayne had always been on her side all this time; to be ‘betrayed’ by him once in a while wasn’t such a bad thing.Just then, a gust of wind sent the rustling noise of grass into the villa, and Heather was agitated by the slight commotion. From then on, she paid extra attention to pick up any movements from outside while a hint of anticipation tickled her heart. After all, she had been thinking about this person a lot for the past few days.She had once been in love with him, so how could she erase him from her memory in the blink of an eye?
