Mickey's jaw drops. He is certain Lucian was going after Dani and that he hasn't made any noise that could've alerted him, so how did he know? Does the lad have back eyes now?He sucks his teeth exasperatedly. Why did it have to be now? He is almost at the entrance. He is almost there! How can he give up now? "No, never!" He shakes his head and since Lucian has already seen him, begins running with everything he's got."Foolish boy! Idiot!" Lucian curses angrily and increases his pace tenfold.Meanwhile, back at the other side of the room, as soon as Lucian chases after Mickey, Dani stands and tiptoes into the little kitchen. The majority of kitchens he has entered so far do have backdoors. He is hoping Lucian's does as well. It is his only hope of escaping now. Unfortunately for him, Lucian's kitchen turns out to have no backdoor. He kicks the air angrily and makes to turn and walk back into the room to accept his fate, but his gaze suddenly drops to a certain set of utensils.A ma

Mickey slowly raises his head and smiles bitterly. "If I say yes, would you actually believe me? Besides, isn't it already too late?""No time is too late," Lucian rolls his eyes. "The issue isn't about that, it is about you! Are you serious about it?""Yes, I am. I've thought about it and I've seen I've lived a miserable life. I want to turn a new leaf. I want to be a changed person. If you are willing to let me, I'll gladly pay for my crimes.""How do I know your parents wouldn't try to get you out with their connections?""You have my confession. If my parents try to do that, you can have it posted on all social media platforms, have it shown on billboards, and let journalists write on it. Like, let the video be all over! In that way, there will be no way my parents will be able to stop me from being sentenced and paying for my crimes.""You are really ready to go through the humiliation and shame? Hope you know your name and everything you've built over the years will be ruined an

"Stop it! It's not funny!" Mickey sucks his teeth. But can't help but sigh as Lucian would stop laughing and say, "Ok, alright! It's enough! You said you can fix my wrists, right? I accept! Please do it, ok? Do it!""Why are you now interested? What changed? Wait, let me think," he tilts his head and after a while, asks sheepishly, "Is your dick not interesting enough anymore?""Gosh, I hate you!" Mickey groans and out of frustration, unconsciously bites down on his lower lip. "Ah!" He groans. "I hate you, Lucian!""The feeling is mutual, mate," Lucian laughs. He then walks to Mickey, takes up his right hand, and takes a deep breath. "It might hurt a little so brace yourself for the impact and be ready," he says calmly."I'm used to pain. Don't worry. Just do it.""If you say so," Lucian shrugs nonchalantly, shuts his eyes, and follows the same step his seven years old self used in the memory.CRACK!As Mickey's bones realign, his wrist makes a cracking sound. "Ah!" Mickey cries out

"Mr. Wood!""Lucian!" Mickey and the burly figure exclaim."Please rush him to the hospital! You said you would, right? Go already! He can't die! He can't! Do you have a car with you? Nevermind, there, that is my car key, let me get it for you," Mickey rushes to the spot his car key fell after Lucian ripped his pants to dreads and picks it up.He rushes back to the burly figure with breakneck speed and stretches the key to him. "There! Now go save him! Remember, he can't die! No matter what, he is a strong lad! Don't leave the hospital until he is saved! Go now! Please go!" Mickey is sobbing uncontrollably. His heart feels like it is about to rip apart and mucus is dripping out his nostrils down his lips but he doesn't seem to care! All his focus is on Lucian! On his new friend. Ah! Lucian can't die! No, he can't!"Where is your car?" asks the burly figure as he takes the car key from him."Just a few steps away from this apartment! Hurry! Lucian must not die! He must not!"The burly

Mr. Howard glares viciously at her and points a finger at her, his body shivering in rage. "You caused all this, you heartless woman!" He barks, not caring that Helen is right there beside him. "If you didn't provoke Mr. Wood till the point he had to send us away to retain his sanity, he wouldn't have been left alone with those brats! He wouldn't have been in the state he is now! Harper, I swear on my late mother's head, if that lad dies, I'll never have anything to do with you till I die! I swear!""I swear on dad, if Lucian dies, I would also never have anything to do with you! You will seize from being my mum!" Helen doesn't give Harper the chance to speak and also swears. "Now, get out of our way and pray to whatever you serve that nothing happens to him. Such a bitch!" She quickly adds and hisses.Harper's face turns gloomy. She staggers slightly and her mouth flies open. "Y... you too will really kick me out of your lives if anything happens to that punk? So, the lad is more imp
