[[ DYLAN'S POV ]]I heard her little chitchat with my German Shepherd. For a moment, I felt so weird. German Shepherds are very sensitive about the unknown presence around them. Talking about my pet, he was overly sensitive and never let anyone touch it except me and Catherine.Though I was exercising, my mind was all focused on them. I even heard her low cursing voice as she ran after the dog. I didn't feel bothered since my guards were all around to stop that naughty creature.But I was happy that she was taught a lesson by my dog too. Everything was going okay until I heard the loud splashing sound.Frowning hard, I intended to get up from the ground and heard the shrill crying voice of my caretaker," Madam...Madam... Somebody help..Madam has fallen in the water.."I squeezed my eyes shut in annoyance and made my way to the poolside.Stopping in front of the pool, I spotted her head drowning deep inside the water. My German Shepherd was barking continuously and notified us that so

[[ Clara's Pov ]]I saw the glimmer of hope crashing down behind the layer of his eyes. I felt the same too. Not because I pleaded guilty, but because I was sorry for my sister. She was an angel to me even though I had doubts about whether she thought the same of me or not.I saw his statue-like posture from afar. Perhaps he needed a few moments to return to his aloof mood. So I gave him enough space to calm down.My mind wandered on their previousconfession. They needed assistance from military forces to invade Black Mafia's territory. A piece of memory was flaunting in my mind.Military? D Nation?Then I remembered something. My eyes widened apart before an unexpected smile came on my lips. If I could dive into more thoughts,Dylan sent me a reminder," Get inside the car. What are you standing for?"I snapped out of my thoughts and hopped into the car hurriedly.We drove back to the mansion within a short moment. Dylan seemed utterly frustrated and ignored my existence like air

[[ Clara's Pov ]]I sprinted around almost stumbling on my feet but I managed to stand straight for the support of railings. I was sure that I was looking like an over-excited child.Dylan ended his phone call and connected his deep unfathomable eyes with mine. For a moment, my heart skipped a bit. He was looking like a pile of broken glasses who didn't know how to fix himself. The darker shade of night made it almost impossible for me to identify what lay behind his face.I pressed my lips together before suturing a straight line," Any..any news about Catherine?"To my surprise, he didn't argue with me this time. Pursuing his lips together, he replied patiently, a light coming out from his eyes," The police from there discovered a couple from the seaside. They happened to see a woman lying on the seaside but she disappeared when they went to call other people."My expression relaxed. At least there was a clue of her existence.Dylan's mood dropped noticing the little smile on my li

*** CHAPTER THEME SONG:Stand Still By Sabrina Claudio ***[[Dylan's Pov ]]Blame me for anything!My hatred for Clara Blackwood was stronger than anything. I pursued my lips together in an attempt at spilling out everything. Her cries would satisfy my inner demon the most.My phone vibrated in my pocket. Pausing my intention for a while, I slipped my hand inside to take out the phone. My brows pressed together when I saw the caller ID. It was a call from my Granny who lived far away for years. She had deprived me of every connection since theday I married Catherine. She firmly believed that women from the modeling industry were no good for my career or our family business.I pressed the answer button despite having so many grudges for her. Since my parents died, she was the only relative left for me.The call connected at once. Without saying anything, she ordered in her old grumpy voice," Don't utter anything nonsense in front of the reporter, Dylan."I was furious at her words. A

I regained consciousness after an unknown amount of time. Opening my eyes groggily, I discovered myself back inside my pink-walled bedroom. A sudden hope hit my mind.Was it a dream?My hope didn't last longer when a mechanical voice rang from my bedside snapping me back to reality," Enough of acting?”I snapped my head aside only to see him sitting with his legs crossed on the armchair. He looked so disheveled. A few buttons of his t-shirt were unbuttoned revealing his sweaty collarbone inside. His thick locks of hair seemed messy as if they hadn't been combed for years. He looked like a pure mess, a mess that I had created. A burning cigarette was hanging between his forefingers as he hauled up from the chair before making his way towards my bed.My heart raced in anxiety violently. He was looking like a complete devil who could suck my soul anytime.He spoke in his voice," Get ready now! We will leave within an hour for D Nation."I whispered looking away from his emotionless gl

[[ Clara's Pov ]]The voice wasn't unfamiliar to me. I stared up at the doorway with the hope of a glimmer in my eyes. I muttered under my breath in relief," DAD!! "My dad walked in followed by a poker-faced lawyer who shot Dylan a cold glare. Whatever he was doing with me here wasn't accepted by law. He wasn't a police officer nor belonged to any army. But powers gave him the advantage of interrogating me in such a way. My dad wasn't a simple figure in the country at all. He had his own well-established company and had quite an influence on higher-ups but unfortunately, it was no match with Dylan's power.Dylan craned his neck towards my dad. His anger didn't ease up a bit, instead it grew further at a dangerous rate. He chuckled in a deep voice," Mr, Blackwood has finally shown up to save his dearest daughter."My dad corrected shooting him with an unfathomable look," Both are my favorite daughters. But that doesn't mean that I will let you torture her."Dylan lifted his weight a
