With a hesitant tone, the woman answered. "I don't think so." Eve was still watching Victor's expression, looking suspicious for such a gray situation. Their leader had been missing since last night, no one knew where he was. Then when the only person who most likely knew where he was, that person looked confused too. That made Eve even more doubtful, she asked. "Do you know anything, Victor?" But she was ignored, Victor then waltzed away in a hurry, leaving her standing looking at the man's departure suspiciously. In just a moment of time out of every hectic second, William would pause to take in his surroundings. Too much blood he saw, too noisy screams that still echoed in his memory space. When he just stood and gazed at nature intently, a calm gust of wind took it all away. The vicious circle is sometimes not something that one wants to repeat over and over again, just like William Odolff who actually ignored everything to get this far. As he said, no one is born to be a sinn
In the end Ashtelle turned her back on her husband and wept silently. She tried to hold back her tears, it didn't work. Even when she tried to hold back the sound of her crying, it escaped some. William could see that his favorite woman's shoulders were shaking, but she again swallowed her tears and turned away with a mask of obstinacy that had not been put on perfectly. "So, what's your answer to my first question, William?" asked Ashtelle, making William think back to the woman's first question. William gave a small smile. "Cleaning things up," William replied, briefly. "Are you going to help Victor? Or choose Verlaine?" "I can't vote for Verlaine, Ash. After all, he's no longer part of my group. I must be a firm leader of my pack, for my pack." William paused for a moment, almost making Ashtelle think the opposite. "But I can't help Victor with this either." "Why?" "Because this battlefield is his." When she heard that, Ashtelle remained silent as she looked deeply into her h
No sooner was he back up to speed than the cell phone, which seemed to have been ignored, lit up-providing a sound and vibration that made Victor turn his attention back to the flat object. Victor pulled over again, picked up his cell phone and opened the message Adam had given him. When he read the message that Adam had managed to track William's whereabouts, Victor seemed to smile with relief. But when he found out where William was most likely to be, all the man could manage was a disappointed expression. Really, Victor didn't want to be prejudiced, nor did he want to think that William had disappeared after meeting his son. Victor didn't want to... he couldn't bear the thought of what might happen if what he was thinking was real. He took a breath, letting it out slowly before he started the engine again and rushed off to the location Adam had sent him. But Victor couldn't help it, his head was now filled with negative images of what might happen where he was going. Despite
Sahara was taken to a place, neat and luxurious-looking. She didn't know where it was, but she believed it was probably the place where the person who invited her lived.Verlaine."Welcome, Mistress Sahara."Sahara was momentarily taken aback, feeling her breath catch for a few seconds as she looked back at Verlaine's face-when she already knew who Verlaine was.Verlaine watched from her seat, Sahara's tense face that could not be hidden no matter how calmly she acted. It made Verlaine feel a little comforted."From your expression, it seems you already know who I am, huh...?" asked Verlaine, breaking the silence and again making the heart of the woman in front of him race faster. Verlaine crossed his legs casually and said, "Do not be afraid, Madame. I did not lie when I spoke about myself in front of you that time, did I?""But you are the enemy of Victor...?""Yes, I am his enemy." Right now every word that came out of Verlaine's mouth felt like an electric shock that made Sahara g
The unexpected and small encounter left Violet a little confused. Sahara hadn't told her that she was coming to Violet's place unexpectedly.Because of that, Violet couldn't have prepared a better welcome than to host her mother at one of the restaurants close to Victor's apartment. Violet left all her groceries behind and brought her mother to this place. However, all the two of them did was remain silent.Violet really didn't know what to say. Even asking how she was feeling was hesitant, like she was a daughter being picked on by her mother for leaving home with a strange man. Every now and then Violet glanced at Sahara's face. The woman was also, without Violet expecting it, staring at her without seeming to have anything to say. Suddenly, Sahara's cold gaze fell on Violet's hand on the table, a hand tightly wrapped in bandages.Violet gasped, then hurriedly withdrew her hand in a normal, contrived gesture. Of course it was obvious to Sahara's eyes, but Violet foolishly tried
Miguel couldn't calm down at all after finding out what happened without him realizing it. He had been enjoying his time in his luxurious prison so much that he had neglected to keep an eye on his family. "Even though I knew he had shown himself, I knew he was planning something. But I didn't realize that he approached my daughter as a friend. Poor Tiffany, she fell into that man's trap! What should I do? ...." Miguel didn't fall asleep, he couldn't sleep and was only worried about Tiffany. "Should I tell Karina the truth? She can separate Tiffany from Xiel as soon as possible," Miguel was sure of the idea, but then he hesitated. "No... if Karina makes the wrong decision out of panic, I don't know what Xiel would do to my family. He might kill them to get back at me." Miguel squeezed his hair, almost frustrated at being so worried. Until he fell silent. "But Xiel became a friend to Tiffany who was always ostracized, he even helped Tiffany and got back at the people who bullied
[Denver]Xiel came to visit Tiffany at her home again today, and Tiffany welcomed him happily.Tiffany invited Xiel to chat in the garden, with tea and some sweet desserts for them."Do you like sweets?" asked Tiffany, "I feel a little guilty for only giving you sweets, even though I really like them.""No problem, I can eat them. But you can't have too many sweets.""Roger, sir!" Tiffany smiled brightly and Xiel was also happy to see her.After trying to regain Tiffany's trust, Xiel could see the girl smiling again without any wariness towards him.After his conversation with Miguel that night, Xiel had great confidence that his threat would worked this time. Soon Miguel would definitely contact him and give Xiel what he wanted.After that, Xiel should have no more business with Tiffany. Xiel was only using her to threaten his father, to get what he wanted.But Xiel had come back, and for a moment he had questioned his real reason for seeing Tiffany again today."How are you, Tiffany
"She looks so much better than before. Mr. Addams has been very helpful in Tiffany's recovery, especially for her trauma. Tiffany said she's going back to school tomorrow. Although I'm a little anxious, but I'm glad that I don't see that big fear in her eyes anymore. I also heard that the people who bullied her have been punished by the school and of course by the neighborhood; the incident of the bullying footage being played in the school show is iconic. I want to thank whoever did it for helping my daughter feel better." Miguel just listened to his wife speak from the phone call. She looked happy and Miguel didn't have the heart to tell her the truth. "You sound very grateful that Mr. Axelio Addams was there for Tiffany." "Of course I am! Aren't you grateful? If Mr. Addams hadn't told me, I would never have known that Tiffany had been hiding something so big. She never had any friends and it killed her personality slowly. Also about what you did... it affected her very badly."
