Julian and Hale jumped out of their car and entered the police station. Julian walked in confidently while his head was full of scenarios. Julian walked into the police workroom and stopped in the middle of the room. The head of police looked at Julian and approached him. “Sir, what can I help you with?” He inquired, focusing his gaze closely on Julian. Julian was looking back with confidence. “I want to find someone who shot Serena Cavendish.” Everyone was looking at him but didn’t really care about it. “Please, sit.” The head of police guided Julian to his table. While walking to his table, Julian looked around and tried to find someone who looked suspicious. But everyone was busy working on their table. Julian and Hale didn’t smell something strange, but they stayed alert. The policeman took a note and sat in front of Julian. “Can you explain the chronological?” “It was two days ago at night when we were having dinner,” explained Julian in detail while he gave a code to Hale t
“Hale, send five bodyguards to Serena,” Julian ordered Hale while standing from his position.“Yes, sir.” Hale accepted it without even asking the reason.Julian walked past Hale and jumped into his car, “Give me the key.”Hale gave the key, Julian turned on the engine and drove away from the parking lot, leaving Hale alone. Julian drove his car at full speed and stopped in front of Vanderbilt’s house. Julian didn’t even bother to turn off the engine and just jumped out of the car, leaving the car door open.“Where is Elijah?” Julian asked the security when they stopped Julian at the front gate. “I want to meet him.”“Have you already had an appointment with him?” The security asked like he didn’t know who Julian was.“I don’t need an appointment to meet him,” answered Julian in a stern voice. “ELIJAH, COME HERE YOU BASTARD!”“Sir, please watch your attitude!” The security reminded him and made sure Julian stayed outside.Julian snorted in annoyance and tried to push past him impatien
Serena's POVAs soon as the ambulance arrived, Julian immediately helped the nurses lift my body onto the hospital bed. They took me to the ambulance and went to the hospital immediately. During the trip, my hand continued to hold Julian's hand without daring me to let go.“Excuse me, Miss. We'll help you put the device on,” said the nurse while putting on the breathing apparatus for me.I looked at the car ceiling with my heart still beating fast. However, over time, my gaze became unfocused and my body became very calm. A few seconds later, my eyes closed, and I couldn't remember what happened after that.“Julian,” I called out when I felt my consciousness starting to return.I opened my eyes slowly and kept calling Julian's name. Julian was one of the people I remembered and the last person who accompanied me to the hospital. My vision has started to focus, and my hearing is back to normal.“Honey, do you still feel pain?”“Can you hear Papa?”The voices of Papa and Mama, aka Mr. a
Julian arrived at the restaurant where Serena and he had met. Julian was already wearing a black shirt with the top two buttons open, black trousers, and phantom shoes. Julian looked so handsome that he even managed to attract the attention of the women who were eating at the restaurant.“Where is Serena?” muttered Julian without caring about the stares of the women who tried to tease him.Right at that moment, Julian saw Serena sitting alone in the middle of the room. Serena was wearing a long white dress that showed her thighs. Julian approached her and smiled as soon as he saw her face. Serena immediately gave Julian a sweet smile and invited him to sit down.“Have you been waiting long?” Julian pulled out his chair and sat opposite Serena.“Not really,” Serena replied, looking indifferent, and then called the waiter. “Can I have the menu?”The waiter handed Serena and Julian the menu, gave them a recommendation, and wrote down their order. The waiter left with the order and menu b
“Did you send it to them?” Julian, who was walking towards the car, asked Hale.“I have, sir, and I have deactivated the number.” Hale did his job well.“Good, now we can relax for a while.” Julian sat in the back seat while unbuttoning his jacket.The car they were driving immediately slipped into the middle of a busy street. Julian picked up his tablet and opened a video to watch. Julian was sure that the journey home would take longer than expected. Hale also listened to music at a low volume during the trip to avoid distracting Julian.Arriving home, Julian went straight into his room and cleaned himself up. Tonight, he enjoyed his evening by watching movies and even bringing his tablet to the dining table. After completing all the rituals, Julian gets ready for bed. Julian stared out the window for a moment before closing the curtains.“Whose car is that?” Julian saw a Jeep parked not far from his house, while the distance between neighbors was a little far apart, so a car couldn
“Great, thanks for your cooperation.”Julian told Isadora with a big smile. Julian showed he would not lose or give in to her this time. Isadora, who looked annoyed, could do nothing but stare at him. Julian and Hale packed up and left Isadora alone again in that lonely, stuffy, and dark place.“You human asshole!” Isadora shouted before the building door closed.Julian could of course hear the screams, but he ignored them completely. Julian and Hale went straight to the office to continue their work. Hale is tasked with editing Isadora's video and sending it to the family.Hale sends Isadora's video to Felicity Kingsley with a one-time view setting. Hale also confirmed with Julian before sending it. Once it was sent, they didn't expect any reply because they knew the video was convincing enough for them and Julian made sure it couldn't be used as evidence.“Thanks, Hale,” Julian said before Hale disappeared.***On that sunny morning, the Kingsley family tried to gather their positiv
Hale's car arrived in front of the hospital and he immediately ran to open the door. Julian jumped into the car with a happy feeling. Julian made it home as the sky darkened and cars flocked home.“Sir, how did you get out?” A curious Hale broke the silence between the two of them.“I gave him a check for enough money,” Julian replied while staring straight out the window.Hale didn't answer and immediately knew that the method was effective in this condition. The two of them returned to silence until they finally arrived home. Julian immediately unbuttoned his shirt because he had been feeling hot since before. Before Julian walked towards his room, Julian stopped and looked at Hale who followed him from behind.“Tomorrow, we will visit Isadora,” Julian explained slowly so as not to be heard by others. “We will only go together.”“Yes, sir.” Hale nodded his head in understanding of the current alarming situation.Julian immediately returned to his room and cleaned up. Tonight, Julian
Julian was taken by two policemen into a car. Hale, who couldn't help him, insisted on going with Julian to the police station. However, the police detained him because they intended to search for evidence at Julian's house.“Let me come,” Hale said with emotion.“I'm sorry, but we need permission to examine this house.”Hale, who had no other choice, decided to stay at home. Hale stared at Julian's back who had disappeared in the crowd of media crews. Julian got into the police car without being able to do anything. Julian felt that the Kingsley family had gone too far for him to do something like this.The police car drove to the police station with Julian inside. Julian could only remain silent during the trip. Julian stared straight ahead without saying anything to the police officer. Julian was thinking of a plan to be free from this charge.“Get down!” A policeman opened the car door and told Julian to get off immediately.Julian obeyed without much rebellion or argument. Julian
The next day, Julian came out of the lodging room and looked at Serena's closed door. Julian walked to the door of Serena's room and intended to say goodbye. However, Julian's hand stopped when he wanted to knock on the door. Julian undid his intention because he didn't want to disturb Serena and went straight home.“Mr. Julian is going home?” asked the aunt, who was sweeping the front yard of the inn."Yes, Auntie, thank you for the reception. I'll drop by again sometime,” Julian replied politely with a big smile.“Well, Auntie will be happy if Mr. Julian can visit again.” Auntie also replied with a smile. “Be careful on the road,” she continued.Julian nodded his head and got into the car. Julian left before the sun had come up, so the roads were still very quiet. Julian drove at an average speed of 80 km/h, accompanied by soothing music.Julian decided to stop at a cafe to buy an iced Americano. After that, Julian drove home. During the trip, Julian felt a little bad, but he tried
