.. Morning. ** "Dorothy has disappeared?"Quan repeated,with furrowed brows. "Yes,Kim. Do you have any idea where she could be?"his mother questioned, obviously perturbed. "I..I.."Laquan stuttered. "Oh,tell me,Kim! Tell me if you know where she is. She left a note that she was leaving and we shouldn't look for her. She clearly didn't went back to her marital home."she grabbed his hand in her's. Her eyes were already glazed with tears. "Mother,do not cry. Dorothy is a grown up woman so definitely,she knows how to tell white apart from black."he cajoled. She left his hand and breathed out. Tears rolled down her eyes. "No. She is only a woman."she sniffed. "Do.. Dorothy shouldn't just leave like that. She is a woman,where would she go! We don't have many relatives here. The few we have are unknown to her. Do.."she wheezed. Quan sucked a breath in. For fvck sake,he didn't come back to the past to witness such a dramatic event. Where could Dora have ran to?. Damn! He
Laquan's heart stopped beating. Dorothy looked at his direction then stared at him, fiercely. A smirk appeared on her lips. "Can you support what you're saying with facts?"a woman demanded. Dorothy took her eyes back to the crowd. "Everyone, relax. What's with the hot blood?. This is a fiction,init?. In this story,i want to make Kim a time traveller. He traveled to the future. What do you all say?"she chuckled. The people seems to calm down. Quan scrunched up his nose. He thought his cover was blown up. "That doesn't seem bad! Let's hear about it!"a man exclaimed. "No. I suddenly don't feel like narrating the story."she snorts, sparing Laquan a stare. "Why?" "Come on." The crowd grunted. "Well,our male lead is here. Having him around while narrating his story would be boring."Dorothy responded. They all turned to look at Quan and gasps. "Scholar Kim!!"they shrilled. Laquan typically rolled his eyes inwardly. What's so good about Kim Anyways?. The women all came to
## Britney wore a long black gown. She sat infront of the vanity table and opened the drawer. She brought out a red box where her jewelries were kept. She flipped it open and picked out a pair of silver earrings, placing it on the table. She removed the previous ones from her ears before wearing the new ones. She stares at herself in the mirror. She touched her ears and a scoff slides out of her mouth. Is going on a date with Sanchez a good decision?. Well,he just has to confirm somethings. He could blurt out a secret once he is caught up in the blissful moment. She breathed out. The bones around her neck came into view. Well,she is damn nervous. But,still, it's worth the trial. She would pretend she had drank the contents in the vial. She locked a necklace around her neck and shut her eyes. She stood up after applying a little powder on her face and rubbing a lipstick on her lips. She snatched her clutch bag from the bed,and made her way out of her room. Her high
Britney hurriedly put her phone on silent mode. Sanchez's call came in almost at the same time. She sighed out in relief. "Strange. I think I heard sounds at the door before."he stated. She walked away, stealthily. When she was away from the room,she moved fastly,out of the place. She collected her keys from the valet man and sat inside her car. She stared at her phone's screen. Sanchez isn't relenting in overwhelming her phone with calls. She took the bottled water in her car and drank from it. She picked up the call. "Hey?, Sanchez?. I am sorry,I don't think I can make it to the dinner today. Let's do that some other time, alright?"she rushed out. "What?! I..mean,why?.. This is the second time you're canceling our date. Is..there a problem?. Or don't you like the.. place we are supposed to dine at?. If you want,I could set up a sea–" "No. No."Britney dropped her hand on the steering. He wants them to have a sea date so he could throw her inside the ocean?. What a crapp
Midnight~ Present Time~ .. Dora yawned loudly, obviously worn out. She and Oscar has been watching the clips since the previous day. She stuffed some popcorns into her mouth and glanced at Oscar beside her only to see him dozing off. She sighed before tapping him. He flung his eyes opened and sat up, immediately. "Oh,yea. Why was that happening?"he said, incoherently, staring at the laptop. Dora chuckled. "It's okay. You can sleep."she mouthed. Oscar diverted his stare to her. "Is that coming from you?"he scoffed. "Anyways,I am not doing this to help you. I have decided to pass through fire and ice just for my boss."he added. Dora stared at him in disbelief. "You indeed passed through those for him in your dream. With just a wink of sleep,the perpetrator could slip out of your sight."she gawked at him. Oscar rubbed his eyes. "Sleep, dummy."she poked his head. "Since you insist,I will sleep then. I don't wanna be a disobedience boy."he heaved out heavily and laid on t
1998•| Edinburgh. ... Afternoon. .. "Is the ramen good enough?. Do you want more?. Or,you want rice cake?"Kim's mother asked Dorothy. Ever since they came back the previous day,she has took a mind of solace in his room and has been giving their parents a cold shoulder that doesn't prevent her from eating everything their mother brings her way. "It's..nice. Thank you,mom."Dorothy nodded with a smile. "Ugh. My dear daughter. Will you like me to massage your body for you?. You look tired. It's okay now. You don't have to get married. There are not latecomers when it comes to marriage."she showed concern. "Mom,I am fine. Don't worry about me too much. I won't try to run away anymore too."Dorothy beamed. Laquan rolled his eyes from where he was seated on the bed. "I just can't help but feel worried, Dorothy. I am glad you're here now. Laquan,do you need anything too?. Rice puff puff?" "I'm good, ma'am. Thanks."Quan declined. Their mother modded and walked out of the room.
"Sir Sanchez,how was the mee.." Sanchez slammed the tea cup in his hand on the table, aggressively, bringing his assistant's question to an abrupt stop. "It's too early in the morning. Don't jinx my day by making me recollect last night's memories."he breathed out, heavily. "That a*shole is still as annoying as ever. How i badly want to rub his face in the mud."he uttered with loathe. He took a slice of bread and pushed it inside his mouth. "That darn woman. Could she have heard anything?"he wondered, his head askew. His assistant bats his eyelashes. He said he doesn't wanna talk about it but here he is,talking about it to himself. Well,no doubt, priest Malcolm has always been Sanchez's greatest fear. Malcolm also take orders from Sanchez's godfather. However,the superiority difference is there, glaring like a full touch light. "I have to get rid of him. Only then can I think I am powerful."Sanchez's eyes darkened. "What about what I asked you to look into?"he turned aroun
"You two are still not enough."the guy mocked. "Let's be fair."Lucas pocketed his hands and strides to where Dora was. "You good?"he asked her. "Oh please."she scoffed. "Where's Oscar?" "I told him to stay in the car." "It's better that way. I don't want him resenting me or telling Jesus I was the one that pushed him to death's mouth when he is being judge. You know,I fear God,Jesus,more than anything."she looked around. "Just surrender,guys."Lucas yelled. They all laughed. "In your dream."f9 jeered. "Alright."Lucas chuckled and unlocked his wristwatch around his wrist. He kept it in his trouser and removed his jacket also. He threw it at the man beside him. "That's a one billion dollar jacket. Keep it well. And,oh,make sure you wash up before you put that on cause you stink. I only feel bad for the poor jacket."he mocked. "Go easy on them. We need them alive."Dora instructed. "I am not sure if I can promise you that. Tell them to be good sons then I'd be a good father
