Leon was already on the verge of giving up, he already lost hope that he could save himself or have someone to come and help him in this kind of situation.His eyes are almost close, conceding and hopeless. If he can only turn back the time, he wishes that he spends more time and longer days with Emily and Sarah making sure that every moment and memories will forever stay in his heart and mind."I’m sorry, Emily... Sarah... I couldn’t protect you. I don’t think I can fulfill my promise at this time," Leon whispers to himself, the weight of his failure crushing him as he feels darkness come over his eyes. As his eyes slowly closed, he saw a shadow of a woman. The woman is coming to him, trying to help him get up.“Leon, hold my hand. It was not yet the time for you to say goodbye in this world…” said the woman, her voice is familiar to Leon but he can’t see her face clearly.“Who are you… Your voice seems familiar…” said Leon with a hoarse voice, his mind was telling him to rest but t
Clueless about the situation, Leon chose to remain silent in his position. He still doesn’t know who this woman is and what danger she might bring to him. That’s why he needs to be careful interacting with this dangerous woman.Apparently, she was the one who stabbed Lord Rosenberg. That's why he suddenly fell on the ground, severely injured and barely able to talk aloud or move around.But why would the woman do that to Lord Rosenberg? What did the old man do to her? Leon wonders if Rosenberg was a great sin to the woman for her to do this horrible thing to the old man.Just then, Leon assessed the situation patiently. He was just observing the two people on the side, not doing anything that might get their attention. Most of all, he should not do anything that can prove the woman because there is a big possibility that she was also an enemy and doesn;t bring good news for Leon at all.“Who is this intimidating woman?” said Leon at the back of his mind, curious but can’t do anything
Hearing this revelation, Leon was left in awe. It was still a mystery to him how Lord Rosenberg’s wife hurt her own husband. Are they not on good terms?But Leon doesn’t want to gamble and ask the woman about it because she really looks scary and intimidating. Although, she was not doing anything yet to harm Leon.“Why…” That’s the only word that came out in Lord Rosenberg’s mouth. Apparently, it looks like that would be his last words before everything ends for him. His eyes were closed, and he was barely moving nor breathing anymore.“You don’t have the right to ask me why and on top of that, you don’t need to know anymore because you don’t have enough time in this world,” said Lady Rosenberg as her eyes were piercing at her husband.As Rosenberg coughs up more blood, Lady Rosenberg bends down, wiping the blood from her dagger with a handkerchief. “He was always a fool and it was his fault why this happened to him,” she continues, glancing down at her husband. “Thinking that brute
Lady Rosenberg is weighing the situation carefully because she doesn’t want to mess up the opportunity she can get by saving Leon.She knows that Leon is no ordinary man and he has all the capabilities to defeat her husband. That’s why even though Lord Rosenberg was hiding it from Leon, the truth is he already consumed more than half of his power. That's why he became gradually weak before the woman arrived in the scenario.The woman just smiled before she replied to his question. “Why are you asking me that? Do you think I will ask you to do something for me in return for saving you?” asked the woman, her voice was playful, although her eyes were still the same.It still looks scary and Leon knows that he should not do anything that can make the woman go in herself. Otherwise, his life will surely be at stake. Leon was still fortunate because Lady Rosenberg is going easy talking to him despite knowing that he was also her husband’s enemy.“It’s not like that but I’m just curious beca
Indeed Leon’s guts was right, he really can’t trust this woman as much as Lord Rosenberg. She just killed her husband anyway so that fact can already tell that she was not trustworthy from the start.The woman’s words are like bullets and Leon can tell that she was no ordinary woman because she is very wise which is very evident in the way she talks and presents herself with other people.Leon was left in awe and asked. “What? Is that even possible?” He could not believe what he was hearing because it sounded so unreal.However, the woman was just speaking about the truth. That’s why if Leon wants to stay alive, he should be careful on how he interacts and treats Lady Martha Rosenberg because his life will depend on her from now on.He can’t tell when the woman will charge him for saving his life. Nevertheless, Leon should be prepared for any circumstances that possibly happen while he was still in Rosenberg's territory.“Of course, nothing is impossible in this world as long as you h
Leon’s forehead creased, he was confused and worried at the same time because if he was not able to save his daughter today, then it will be more difficult to do it on the next day. He should take action as soon as possible before the woman elopes and hides the little girl in another place.“What do you mean? Can you please enlighten me?” asked Leon with so much confusion in his face.Is it bad if he requests to bring back his daughter to him? Of course, Lady Martha can easily do that but still she refused to fulfill his request because she knows that she can still use the little girl to manipulate Leon.“Nevermind it, you don’t need to know. Besides, my decision will still not be changed. I will not bring back that little kid to you. Not until I get what I wanted from you,” Lady Martha replied sternly, her eyes screaming with authority.But Leon refuses to back down, his face is full of determination and he knows what he needs to do from the start—it was to save his daughter no matte
Leon may have looked so calm but the truth is he was already freaking out deep inside. Whatever the woman’s condition is, for sure it will be a hard decision for Leon. He may be fortunate enough to see his daughter again but the question here is, how long will they both stay alive?He was haunted by his deep thoughts and it was obvious from the way he stared at the woman with great fear. Basically, this woman gains control from this game and once Leon violates her rule, she will not think twice to end his life like what she has done to her husband.“Or else what? Would you kill me if I didn’t surrender everything you wanted?” asked Leon, his voice was trembling but he was trying his best to hide how frightened he was.The guards are also on the alert mode so once Leon tries to resist, for sure they will not let him go—in short, he was trapped in this sort of a place which is more of a rabbit hole in reality.“Well, not only you but also that little girl. And you know what else I can d
Leon was about to cry seeing how miserable his loyal butler looks. He remembered the days when the old man was always there to protect and save him from any danger. His butler was so loyal to him to the extent that he was willing to risk his life for Leon.But look at what happened to his butler, at this moment Leon’s heart was breaking into pieces. He doesn’t know how he can help the old man or how he could at least lessen the pain that his butler is feeling right now.“No, please don’t apologize to me, Mr. Xander. I should be the one apologizing to you because I could not protect you from these people. It was all my fault…” said Leon bitterly, he can’t look in his butler at this moment because it feels like he was suffocating just by seeing him under a traumatic situation.The old man was trying to reach his hand but the guards restricted him from doing it. It was so hard for Leon to see his loyal butler down on his knees while he had already suffered enough. If he could only share
