>>Hazel
I think I should just accept it.
I thought as I looked at him looking at his house and the people of his house.
He has a side like that to him. A side that just seems crazy and a normal person shouldn’t have such a side but so what? He won’t harm me. It’s a side that developed most likely because of his messed up family but he’s not taking it out on people. On that note, he even talked to me in a calm voice even after I yelled at him.
I pursed my lips as I stared at him. My heartbeat got a little erratic and this time it was not out of fear.
He remembered that I had a sprained ankle and came to find me in my room
>>RamessaI sat in my room filing my nails when I received a message.It was from a private number so I immediately let go of my filer and picked the phone up. I swiped the screen to see what it was.‘Target is finally alone. Should I proceed?’As soon as I read the line I felt so gleeful I immediately typed my answer.‘Yes’And sent it.Ah~ Finally. I knew this day would come when I’d be able to get rid of that piece of dirt from my and Valek’s life. Such a nuisance she was.
>>HazelValek walked towards me with his gaze fixed on me like glue, his silent steps made me realize that he wasn’t wearing any shoes, just like last time. Perhaps this is a habit of his, to not wear something on his feet when he’s ‘destressing’I gulped as he came to the bedside and sat down in front of me. He looked at me as if he was looking into my soul even though the look in his eyes seemed so dead.I think I forgot to breathe as he gazed into my eyes with a heavy aura around him.The blood he had on him made him look terrifying. It added to his already hostile demeanor and it made my mind go blank because he looked like he had lost it.
>>HazelThe shampoo bubbles blew out and popped not far from where they were coming into existence. The light in the room was fairly bright but it didn’t hurt the eyes. The scent of soap was dominant in the tiled area just like the smell of shampoo.Valek relaxed in the bathtub filled with bubble water with his head relaxing at the edge of the tub. A towel was under his head with several folds to make sure the position wasn’t uncomfortable for him.Meanwhile I sat on a small stool behind him washing his hair that had quite some many splashes of blood in them. I had cleaned it once and was now shampooing it a second time.“Are you sure you don’t want to join me?” He asked as he kept his ey
>>HazelThe water moved in the bathtub as Valek shifted his position and let go of my hand.I shrunk back down on the stool still feeling conflicted and surprised, “This-” I was shocked at how he knew about these scars. Did he perhaps see when I slept in his room? I thought about it. Oh! He might have seen them in the beginning when the doctor was tending to me. Has he known all this time? “Are we sharing secrets now?” I placed my hand to cover the scars of my distant past.“We can.” He answered, “If you want this is.” He turned his body to face me directly, “But it has to go both ways.” The water made a few soft splashes as he moved his body, “So,” He gave me a rather mysterious smile, “What
>>KimThe mansion I and my colleague stood in front of was fairly big but if I consider how big the Vincenzo family main house is, this one appears to be a decent size in front of that.I looked at the porch and wondered why we weren’t welcomed inside. For a house this big, I’m sure they have a guest room or living room to offer the guests a seat but nope. We stand here away from the main door.“Hey,” Ria, the officer who came with me, nudged me with her elbow.“What?” I looked at her.She had her gaze elsewhere before she turned to face me, “Is it only me or are the guards glaring at us?” She whispered.
>>HazelI looked at Valek in pure and utter bewilderment when he told Silva to give the officers my passport and documents.What is he doing?For a few seconds I couldn’t believe my ears while he stood in his place with confidence as I clung to him in fear.What the hell is the meaning of this?! Where did he get my documents from? Did he have them all along? Or did he have fake ones made?Wait! If they’re not real will the cops find out?!I glanced at the officers who were going through my passport and stuff. It seemed like they were giving a very thorough look at everything and that fact was only giving me more anxiety.
>>ValekI sat in my study behind my desk at night as I thought about all that happened today.The thing that was bothering me the most was Hazel’s reaction to her things. I get you can get attached to things but she seemed awfully concerned about her phone.Was there something important in it?I thought about it.Important enough to get her downhearted?I tapped my fingers on the surface of the table as I gave it some more thought.Was it perhaps a memory?I titled my head slightly.Pictures of someone?
>>HazelI woke up in the morning with a lazy mood and sighing heavily was the first thing I did.Another day with nothing in my favor. I didn’t feel like getting up, it was hard to find the motivation so I didn’t move for a while.After a few minutes of just simply lying on the bed I took a deep breath and went to the bathroom to freshen up. Since Emilio had started kindergarten I go to drop him off there daily.He’s taken quite a liking to that environment and I’m glad about that. I guess no one expected he’d be that happy going to school since his first experience was very bad.He comes back home and chatters so much about what he did and what his friends
