91Martin's went back home with his parents, his father kept scolding and yelling at him in the car so of course he knew what was waiting for him at homeHe gulped nervously as the car entered through the gate and parked where the other cars were parked"Follow me" his father orderedTrying not to tremble, he followed his father inside while his mother followedThe maids all gathered somewhere, peekingThey also saw the news and they knew their young master would be in big trouble"Dad, I am so..." Before Martin could complete his sentence, he felt a punch on his faceThat was Mr Luther's doing"Dad? I told him not to call me that when we are home" He scoffed while cracking his knuckles and messaging his arms"Honey, don't hit him too hard, we can't let the public suspect anything with a bruised face" Mrs Luther said with her thin voice"This guy is a big disgrace, after everything I have done for you....." Mr Luther punched him in the face again "You dare allow yourself to be caught

93Marissa opened her eyes and could see she was still in Colin's roomShe turned to the other side of the bed and there was Colin still asleepA smile appeared on her face as she stared at his handsome and babyish faceShe couldn't wait for him to be awake so she can tease him about how he was going to resist her but ended up giving inIt was actually cute of him.She scoffed as she moved closer and locked their hands together, the movement woke Colin up"You are awake " She said, not ready to take her eyes off him"Yes" Colin smiled, staring back at herThere was silence for a minute, like all they just wanted was to spend the whole day looking at each other's faces without saying a word"Aren't you going to say something?" Colin broke the one minute silence "Well.... What should I say? Should I talk about how grateful I am for your room being soundproofed? You got me screaming""Naughty" Colin snickered "Why did you come here?""Isn't it obvious? Because I missed you""What if you

Axel asked, wrenching the words out of her mouth"A ledger" the man replied"A ledger?" Marissa was once again, perplexedAs far as she knows, she does not have any ledger in her possession"What ledger?" Colin pulled the hair of the man making him to wince in pain"I do not know""Really? If I can't make you speak then Jenny should be able to" Colin made signal to Jenny who started stretching herself again"I swear I do not know what ledger it is" the man started pleading "Please spare me, I only did what I was ordered to do"He glanced at Jenny who had a smirk on her faceJenny's punch was a hard one, no one would survive ten of itHe just wanted to get out of there without receiving any more threat"You work for us, how could you suddenly switch to the Jackson Dream side?" Axel scoffed in disbelief"I didn't do it because I wanted

97After using his drugs, Colin changed into his pijamas and turned off the lights in his room, ready to go bed when someone stormed inIt would be no other person than EmeraldHe sighed as he turned on the lights and folded his arms, giving her a 'What?' look."Where is Marissa?" She asked"I gave her a room to sleep, since someone I know won't let her go back home" Colin glared"Why would I let her go? You need her""I am fine on my own""Yes you are, but you are much more better with Marissa around" Emerald grinned "By the way, how was the movie?""Romeo and Juliet? Seriously Emerald? The whole world has probably seen the movie so why would you make us watch that again?""I am not sure, why did I make you guys watch that?" Emerald tapped her chin but sarcasm was obvious in her voice "Probably because you two seems like Romeo and Juliet to me""We are not like them" Colin scoffed in disbelief "in the end they both died""It doesn't matter""It does""How about you try giving yoursel

100Marissa continued to run after Martin who was faster than expectedAxel was not left behind, immediately Marissa started to run, he took to his heels tooThe two were far away from him but that didn't make him give upWhat if he does and Marissa get lost in Islighton, it's not her town so she probably does not know a lot of places thereAnd it's not like he himself was familiar with anywhere in Islighton but would it not be much more better if they both get lost?Rather than just Marissa getting lost.Fortunately for them all, Marissa caught up with Martin just before they would be more far away from the hospital She dragged him to an Alley where there was no oneIt was a perfect place to interrogate himThere would be no distraction and punishing him would be more easy"Let go of me" he groaned in pain as Marissa grabbed his hair from behind "What are you doing here? Why are you here?" Marissa was panting heavily and probably in need of fresh air and water"This is a free world
