Victor opened his eyes on a sunny day. The large glass partition between his room and the outside balcony reflected the sunlight very well. Victor woke up to the sunlight tickling his eyes, it was so bright even though he still had his eyes closed. The man got up, breathing hard as if his lungs had not been filled with clean air for a long time. He felt that his body was many times lighter than last night, like he was improving after being properly treated and taken care of.When he turned his head to the other side of the bed, Victor's attention was fully awake. He found that the place that was filled with the sweet presence of a girl sleeping beside him last night was now empty and cold.Victor immediately got up from his bed, walking to and fro. Looking for the presence of the girl he never found despite checking the bathroom, living room and kitchen.When he returned to the living room, the door to his apartment opened. It reveals Violet, who arrives with a grocery bag full of

Violet simply responded with, “You seem to be very close to Lovana.” She didn’t look at Victor and focused on stirring her food. For the first time, Violet forgot the frills of calling someone she didn’t know that well.“I don’t think we’re that close.”“You don’t feel close to her? You made him your personal doctor.” Victor looked at Violet, but she seemed intent on not looking at him.Victor asked, “Did she say that?” And Violet nodded. “Lovana is Little Boy’s doctor, not mine,” Victor explained, causing Violet to return his gaze.“Really?” asked Violet, and Victor confirmed with a wink. “Then why did she lie and say she was your personal doctor?”Victor averted his face. He had no idea how Violet could be so innocent. “He just wanted to bait you,” Victor replied without looking at Violet at first, but he suddenly gave Violet his cold, piercing gaze and continued. “And you ate the bait.”Violet scowled with widened eyes. She hurriedly averted her gaze so that she wouldn’t be locked

"Victor?" Violet was shocked. Apparently she wasn't mistaken, the person in front of her was really Victor Leighton. The man who had been staggering around and who she had been watching from afar.Violet's decision to come closer was the right one, because the man who had almost faltered just now was someone she knew very well."Violet...," said Victor, who was also surprised because he hadn't expected to see Violet in this place, and in this condition. Rather than her surprise, Victor thinks Violet is the most surprised here because this is the first time she's seen Victor in his shabby, bloodstained state."What's wrong with you?" Violet looks like a girl who really dislikes the sight of blood, let alone seeing someone injured like this. Her forehead was furrowed from earlier, as her hands tried to hold Victor from collapsing.Victor had lost his sleepiness due to the injuries he had received. To him, it was nothing, especially when he could see Violet standing in front of him a

Violet was indeed surprised and somewhat annoyed. Victor’s outburst just now sounded like it could crush her internal organs because it came at such an unexpected moment. But after a moment of silence and thought, Violet realized that it was her fault and it wasn’t wrong for Victor to yell at her.She had said something embarrassing and disrespectful. Victor must have thought she was a perverted girl.“I-I’m sorry for being rude,” Violet said nervously. She didn’t know what Victor was thinking, but she was so embarrassed that she regretted not going home with Jov earlier.Victor didn’t respond to Violet’s words, even though he knew she’d misinterpreted his snapping as a reprimand for her rude remark. That’s not what Victor meant. He didn’t think Violet’s remark was rude at all, it was a natural thing for her to think especially since she was the one who saw how much of Victor’s blood was on his shirt. The dried blood stains might as well have been on his back.But for some reason, ins

The woman named Lovana said with a nosy smile. Violet welcomed her hand in a friendly manner. “Nice to meet you, Miss Lovana.” That was until Violet realized something. She froze. Wait... did she just say Victor’s ‘personal physician’? Violet was momentarily stunned by that. Did Victor have a personal physician who was this beautiful and this sexy? “All right, Violet.” Lovana tugged on her hand, tightening the lock on her medical bag. “It seems Victor really wants you to be the one to take care of him. With that, I’ll be going.” Then the woman walked casually out of the room, leaving Violet still stunned without a chance to say ‘thank you’ to Lovana. Not long after, Violet finally realized that she had something to do there. She immediately ran to Victor’s room, which wasn’t even separated by any walls or partitions. Violet approached the tall man, he was still peaceful in his sleep after the anesthetic from Lovana. Violet took a quick look, then her eyes caught a change. “Miss L

The man with the brown mane sped his car towards a building that looked busy judging by how many luxurious and expensive cars were parked in the parking lot. It was the largest casino building in Cameron, Yellow Crowl had named it Crowleyds Casino and yes... the casino was under the Yellow Crowl name. If you thought the way Victor would negotiate with Yellow Crowl was with a card game, then that was a very simple thought. Dealing with lunatics cannot be done by showing cleverness alone. After all, the real headquarters of the yellow crows was not in a gambling establishment, but in a place far away from the reach of sunlight. As Victor entered the casino area, many people were immersed in the satisfaction of gambling and the abundance of money they earned. Victor observed them, then simply walked past them without giving them any significance. He continued his footsteps towards the door of a room that not just anyone could enter, a door that led him through a hallway to a basement t

“If you become part of Little Boy, we will teach you how to kill without being chased by the police. Also... one hundred percent protection. You’ll be our elite troops with me as the leader.” Pert averted his gaze, seemingly pondering. It was possible that her slightly shifted brain was beginning to digest the situation, and decide what she would do in this serious negotiation. Victor was glad that his time was no longer wasted. “Comparing to our leader who died of old age five years ago, I think you can be a much stronger leader. You’ll make us the most feared group of assassins, possibly in Louisiana,” Pert said with a serious face. His words and the look on his face seemed to say that he would agree to Victor’s offer, but that was not the case. Victor had already said that they were troublesome, right? “But we can’t accept you as a leader and accept this deal without seeing what potential you have, Mr. Victor.” Victor already knew that Pert would say something like that in the

“Haha... what is this?” Victor muttered, soon he received another attack in the stomach. “Do any of you know my weakness?” Fortunately, Victor was able to deflect the attack quickly, but another person used the small opportunity from Victor’s off guard to hit him on the back of the neck. Victor staggered and almost lost his balance. If he were an inexperienced person, he would have fainted instantly. The skinny man clung to the wire fence, his gray eyes blinking a few times and hoping to regain his consciousness with perfect focus. He was getting hotter and hotter, it felt like he needed to take this betrayal more seriously. “Stop wasting my time, damn it!” It was Victor who ran and attacked first this time. He used his light body to cling to the neck of one of his opponents while he delivered a full kick to the other who was about to attack him. One man fell, and Victor used the opportunity to take down the other before the man he had just knocked unconscious woke up. By the time

Violet slowly opened the door to the room with the overpowering medical odor. She took a quick glance inside, and now had a perfect view of the figure sitting on the thickly blanketed bed as she glanced out the large glass window. Seemingly lost in thought, he seemed calm and unconcerned about his surroundings. Even when Violet pulled out a chair and took a comfortable spot to sit next to him, Victor remained passive. Violet glanced at her man with a quizzical look, as if she wanted to start a conversation. After five days of unconsciousness, Victor finally opened his eyes this morning. Violet rushed to him to see how he was doing, but it seemed that only his physical state had improved. Violet ventured to touch Victor's hand, and to her surprise, Victor flinched. Violet couldn't help but be surprised by the man's response. "Violet...," Victor said in a low voice, he looked up at Violet but those eyes seemed to be empty without a focal point. "You were here, I didn't realize,"

Connor approached Emily, then looked at the little girl’s sleeping face while gently rubbing her slightly gaunt cheeks. “So... how did it go?” asked Connor, Jack flinched as he understood what the question meant. However, Jack chose to remain silent, making Connor smile because he suspected that his guess was correct. “Failed, yes...,” the old man said, smiling haughtily.“I won’t give up, Dad.” Jack said with conviction, making his father look down on him even more. “I’ll try until Emily gets her new heart.”“You’re pretty optimistic for a kid who just felt the pain of failure after not listening to his parents, Jack. Don’t you want to complain and complain to this father of yours?” Jack was silent, his jaw hardening as he held back his anger. He knew full well that all his father was doing now was mocking his failure, making Jack feel reminded of the pain when his high hopes ended in failure again.Indirectly, Connor seemed to be saying: "Expecting kindness from a monster like Victo

After a few minutes spent cleaning up, Violet and Victor met back at the dining table for breakfast. As before, there weren’t many ingredients in Victor’s refrigerator. Violet used the ingredients she had on hand to make breakfast, and thankfully it didn’t turn out too badly.Victor doesn’t wait long and eats his share of breakfast. Violet stares at him intently, waiting for his reaction. But Victor just ate without saying anything. Even though he was eating well, Violet was still waiting for a comment from him. And when she didn’t get one, the girl chuckled. It made Victor stop eating and ask, “What’s wrong?”Violet looked at him with pouting lips. “You’re not going to compliment my cooking again this time?”“I already ate it.”“But at the very least, I want to hear your comet. You kept eating without saying anything.”“I already ate it, isn’t that clear evidence that I didn’t reject your food. At least the taste is still acceptable to the human tongue, hence why this human wants to

Violet opened her eyes and frowned. Her blurred vision clearly felt unfamiliar with the place where she opened her eyes, but no sooner had she paused and remembered, than Violet remembered where she was. Because of this, she hurriedly turned her body around to find Victor sleeping next to her.This was the second time Violet had woken up looking at Victor’s face to start her day. But the first time, Violet hadn’t been this close. She and Victor were like two poles far apart, but now they were like twigs and leaves that were always attached.Violet moved closer, wanting to see the details of the man’s face more closely. As she stood still and looked at him, Violet realized that Victor was indeed as handsome as everyone said he was. All this time she had recognized it silently, covered in prestige and always denying it even to herself. But now, she didn’t hesitate to smile, amazed.Her mind, which had not been filled with anything, was now filled with Victor, Victor and Victor. Violet w

Jack was silent for a moment, at a loss for an answer. “I-I did it because I had no other choice. I wanted a child so badly-““Well, I see,” Verlaine said, interrupting Jack’s unfinished speech, “the fruit doesn’t fall far from the tree,” he said with a quiet murmur.Verlaine then cleared his throat loudly, as if signaling he was about to begin his important conversation with Connor and Jack tonight.Connor began with, “As you told me on the phone that you would tell me about the next plan tonight. Tell me.”Verlaine raised both eyebrows. “Ouh... you’re so impatient, Mr. Grayson,” he said in a joking tone. “Is it because it’s late, so you don’t want to make small talk any longer?”“I brought Jack so you can use him for your plans too,” Connor replied, changing the subject.Verlaine raised one eyebrow, realizing that Connor was really impatient for the plan he had. “Well... I’ll say it,” Verlaine said then, no longer wanting to mince words. “In a few days, there will be a party held by

"Beautiful tuxedo," said the man with hazel eyes, to the short-haired woman standing in front of him. "When did you buy it?"Maria smiled broadly, pleased that the choice item she had bought for Verlaine had responded so well to the man. She rushed to her lover, sitting on Verlaine's lap intimately as she put her arms around his neck."I bought it a long time ago but since you've been so busy lately, it's been difficult for me to find the right time to give it to you," Maria said, explaining in more detail. Verlaine simply nodded and smiled, though his heart was still cold as ever. "Do you like it?" Maria's question drew Verlaine's gaze away from his gift.The man smiled sweetly, growing wider. "Of course," he replied, pecking her cheek gently.Maria was delighted. She then without hesitation kissed him briefly on the lips, showing her happiness. They looked at each other for a few seconds, until Maria spoke up again."Verlaine, what did you do during your vacation? That place yo

That distracted Violet from the beautiful dresses before her. “Really? What is it?” “A wedding anniversary celebration.” “Ah, Mrs. Scarlett and her husband, huh?” said Violet, smiling, her eyes focused on the dresses again. “Your adoptive parents will be celebrating their wedding anniversary. It must be a happy day for them.” “We’re also allowed to be happy on their happy day.” Violet froze, frowning in confusion. “What do you mean?” she asked later. “Should we go to the dance?” asked Victor, causing Violet to turn her face away slowly. The girl stared at Victor, confirming her thoughts which were immediately confirmed by Victor’s next words. “Should we pick out the dresses now?” Violet, of course, would immediately smile widely. She nodded her head with twinkling eyes, looking very excited and happy. The two of them started their agenda; choosing a dress that would be used to attend the celebration party like Victor said. While her feet were busy moving to and fro, Violet’s l

Later that day, they decided to go out. The romantic term is 'date'. Victor waited for Violet to get ready, and Violet waited for Victor to get ready. One thing in common was that as a result of the waiting time, they were mesmerized by each other's charms in their date-ready best. Violet smiled broadly, waiting for Victor to come out of the room and watching him from the dining table with her chin propped up. "Your dress sense isn't much different from the last time, but somehow it looks so luxurious and appropriate this time," Violet says, complimenting him. Victor smiled slightly and walked over. "Is it because I'm seeing it with love this time? You look absolutely marvelous." "I didn't know you were the type to compliment your partner," Victor said, taking Violet's hand to lead her out of the apartment. "Hm. I didn't know I was the type of person to do this to their partner either. You were my first partner, you know?" "Really?" "Yeah... I've only ever confessed my feelings,

Meanwhile, Verlaine was now hurrying away to a place, which was none other than his private apartment. There, he would meet Maria who had just finished cooking a meal for herself. Maria had no idea that Verlaine had returned from his ‘vacation’ in Vermont, she only knew that he had extended his vacation on the pretext of falling in love with the vast and soothing expanse of grass.Hence, when she saw his presence at the technological door, she couldn’t help shouting his name. “VERLAINE...!” The woman ran at full speed, rushing to hug Verlaine tightly while her body was twisted like a romance scene in a movie.“Are you coming home today?” asked Maria as soon as Verlaine released her embrace. She was delighted to see Verlaine standing in front of her after they had not seen each other for almost a week.“Yes. I wanted to give you a surprise,” Verlaine replied as he kissed Maria’s neck, making her grimace occasionally in amusement. “You were surprised?”“I’m so surprised that I’m speech
