Chapter Two Hundred And Twenty Two
Vera's heart lurched, as she saw the sincerity in his eyes. It moved her greatly, as no one had ever said such words with that amount of sincerity blooming in their eyes. Her heart began to beat faster, and it kept on increasing, like an athlete gaining momentum on the racing track. It felt like its goal was to tear out of her chest and fall into her hands.Vera's mouth opened slightly, as she couldn't grasp the way she was feeling. She felt weak within—like strange insects were crawling in her tummy, making her want to hold it tight.Her cheeks bloomed in a rosy red, and she realized something had gone really wrong. She had fallen in love with a total stranger. The feeling she was feeling was nothing like being fascinated by someone gushing over her. It was the feeling of liking someone. Vera turned her head away. As a young girl, she also had a few crushes, but they never stayed strong. Her crushes were always light and fickle. When it was time to get serious, and throw all her fo

Chapter Two Hundred And Twenty Three
Although, Charles had gotten a text from the stranger, saying he would find a way to degrade the system, he hadn't heard from the man for quite some time now, and that was quite worrisome.While he was in the car with Vera, he noticed she was looking brighter than usual. She wasn't looking the usual stern way she always looked.And this had been going on for days now. He didn't want to delve too much in her affairs, but considering the fact that he needed to take his mind off his issues, he decided to bring Vera's attention to her new change as a distraction for meantime.“So, what has happened recently. You seem much different than expected though. You know, what you went through at that inn, and how you've quickly gotten over it with a completely different aura.” Charles spoke, trying to get her to talk about it.Vera cleared her throat, and her eyelids fluttered.“I just decided to see life in a different perspective. I decided to loosen up after that horrible experience I had, and

As he raised his voice, it caused everyone to pay attention to him, and as they did that, someone who was in their midst, ran off, and part of the security team went after him at once.Charles was already beginning to get baffled and confused. He could have gotten frustrated if not for the fact that he had come across something that made him happy, earlier.He folded his arms, and watched them silently as they comported themselves.~Charles was in his office with Vera, and two of the security guards were before Charles.“We don’t know how he sneaked in, but we happened to find him doing something in your office, and that’s when we caught him.” One of them explained, then one out of the security guards who went after the man, came back into Charles’ office.“Were you able to get him?” Charles asked, curious about who the man must have been.“We weren’t able to get him. He ran swiftly, so we didn’t know where exactly he ran off to.”Charles grumbled, and then looked towards his safe, b

Chapter Two Hundred And Twenty Five
Charles opened his eyes slowly, and met himself in his car, but he couldn’t move. His eyes were still all fuzzy and unclear, and it was an uncomfortable situation for him to be in.The style and method those men used against him was what was confusing him because he didn’t understand why a group of people would want him, but would leave him without abducting him or whatever.But he was wondering what he had been injected for. His eyes searched through his car to know if something had gone missing, but with what he could lay his eyes on, he didn’t find anything amiss.“Sh…shit.” He cursed under his breath, although, he found it hard to mutter out those words.What got him more frustrated was the fact that he had to meet with the tech expert, and now, he was way beyond late.To the tech expert, it would seem as if he wasn’t serious about it, or like he was being nonchalant. Not long after he thought about the tech expert, a text popped up on his phone.Thankfully, his phone wasn’t too f

After knocking for a while, he finally heard the sound of footsteps coming close to the door.“Who’s at my door at this late hour?” The man spoke, sounding alert.“It's me, Charles. Please open up.” Charles pleaded, hoping he was going to disregard the fact that he had given him a bad impression the first time.“Charles?” The tech expert repeated, sounding baffled.Then the door clicked open, and Charles fell to the ground immediately, still feeling a bit weak. “Oh, my goodness. What’s wrong, Charles?” He asked, looking concerned as he tried to help him up.“I got…” Charles tried to speak out, but he had used up the little strength he had gained, so he just lied helplessly in his arms.He brought Charles to the living room, and laid him on the sofa, then opened up his shirt and tried to find out the problem. But it was seeming difficult for him to find out what the problem was. He needed to wait until Charles woke up, and before that could happen, he would have to take some steps fir

Although, this was good news for Charles, but like any human, he needed to process his thoughts to catch up with the flow of things.“Well, I’ll give you space to rest some more. You’ve had a long day.” Andrew said as he rose to his feet, and then patted Charles on his shoulder, and left.Charles leaned on the sofa’s headboard, and let out a deep breath. He was beginning to see his mother in a new light; like she was a great person who was capable of intimidating people with her wealth, status, and influence.“Well, I guess it’s my father who rid her of her all she was, and all she had, making her suffer like she deserved it. Since that’s the ay he played it out, then I’ll be the one to re-instate my mother’s name. I will carry on her legacy, and make her proud, wherever she is.” Charles thought to himself.Then he picked up his phone, and texted James and Vera. “I’m fine. Will see you guys later.”After sending out the texts to them, he laid back on the sofa, wanting to get more res

Chapter Two Hundred And Twenty Eight
Vera walked past the park she and Louis had stayed in the last time they had met. She smiled as she recalled him asking for a kiss as her penalty."What? It's too hard?" He had asked her, in a teasing tone. "Well, um… no." Vera could recall how heated her cheeks had been as she had spoken those words. She had never kissed a boy in all her life. Louis had looked at her with mockery in his eyes like he was able to read her mind and pick out her concerns, so Vera had leaned over with her burning cheeks, and had placed a kiss on his— a soft one.Even kissing him on the cheeks had felt odd to Vera, too strange, too close, and personal. After the kiss, she had been unable to lick her lips for minutes. The thoughts had invaded her mind over the course of the next three days. That day, Louis had laughed, and it had been so weird to see him laugh at being kissed on the cheek by a girl that she had joined in his laughter. The both of them had continued to laugh, and after laughing to satisfa

“Come on in.” Andrew urged.“That’s your bathroom. Why are we going into a bathroom?” Charles asked, looking really baffled.“Yeah, I know. Can you just trust me, Charles?” Andrew chuckled, sensing Charles’ nervousness.Then Charles took in a deep breath, and let it out.“Well, let’s take this risk now that we are here.” Charles thought to himself.“Alright.” He spoke, and walked up to Andrew who held the bathroom door open.As he walked past Andrew, and walked into the bathroom, Andrew shut the door behind him, then he pressed a button right beside the shower, and a rectangular space opened like a door.“What’s this?” Charles asked, looking amused while he was staring at that rectangular space, pushing inside like it was creating a pathway for them. Then it stopped, and opened. Charles’ eyes widened in amusement. He hadn’t walked into the pathway, and although, all he was seeing was darkness, he had a feeling that there was something more that could sweep him off his feet.“Come on,

It was hard to explain what kissing Louis felt like. She had never kissed anyone, so she didn't expect it to feel as weird as that. His lips were soft, and he kissed her softly, cuddling her lips with his. Her heart began to beat faster, and her palms released excess sweat. Vera didn't know how she was to feel or what she was to do. They were so close to each other. So close that she could feel his warmth, through her clothes.It awakened new feelings in her— feelings she never thought she'd have. His arm tightened around her waist, pulling her closer, and the other cupped her face, tilting her neck upwards. Although she didn't know how to kiss, she parted her lips, and their kiss got deeper. If there was anything she knew, it was that she wanted the kiss badly at the moment. The both of them stayed there, kissing right in front of her house. For Vera, it was a very magical feeling, as the wind moved through her hair, and clothes. The trees whispered to each other, and the kiss wa

Chapter Two Hundred And Thirty One
Charles couldn't deny that he felt a little nervous. It felt like lead had been thrown into his stomach, and was weighing him down. His head seemed to be ringing, and it almost felt like he could feel the blood rushing in his veins. He kept on swallowing, as Andrew sat in front of four different computers that looked a little weird.Charles couldn't get used to a computer looking like that. After typing long enough to keep the tapping going in Charles' head, he went to meet him, and began to stick some circle-like things to his temples and forehead. The circle-like things had long wires which connected to the large computers, and Charles suddenly got the strange feeling that he was about to be electrocuted. He knew he wasn't supposed to get cold feet. After all, he was a man, but still, it did nothing to douse the flames of fear and insecurity growing within him."Is it going to hurt?" He finally asked, and Andrew chuckled."Nah. Not a bit." He assured him, and went back to the comp
