“Read My Mind” Chapter 9
The remnants of last night's storm were still clearly visible in the courtyards of each house on Rue Des Marronniers. The wind gusts were accompanied by water that fell as if splashed from a large bucket in the sky. Maybe it was the celestial giant. Years ago, children were engrossed in the tales of Jack and the evil giant. They thought that above the clouds stood a magnificent castle where the giants lived.
Jayden came out of the white-walled house. His yard now looks the same as his neighbor's yard. Dirty and full of fallen leaves. With a high-neck red sweeter, Jayden rushed to the small storage room beside his house to get cleaning supplies.
"Kiddo!"
That voice. Jayden knew very well who the owner was. Uncle Thomas! The big tall old man with a bloated stomach that looked like he had just swallowed a gallon was waving at him.
“Last night a giant spilled a bucket of wat
Slipping a ten dollar bill to the valet, Alex then quickly got into his car and drove out of the parking lot of the Harper condo. This morning was more beautiful than any morning he had lived in his thirty-two years of life which could not be called good. There's nothing more beautiful than spending the morning with Harper while listening to her chatter about her favorite book. That book! The book he wrote himself five years ago. It's nice to know that the woman he loves so much enjoys every paragraph he writes through his imagination.Not entirely imaginary actually. The book almost tells the story of his half of life which has been tightly closed from everyone. The story contains eighty percent truth that tells the story of his life. The origin of Alexa
Like in heaven. The aroma of fragrant coffee mixed with the smell of warm chocolate donuts and paninis fresh out of the oven made Tyler's stomach immediately scream hysterically. Getting into a bustling Tim Hortons at eight in the morning like this is fun, but also a pain. It was a struggle for Tyler to get a table while waiting for his order to be delivered by the waiter as he had run out of their legendary panini as well as their signature chocolate donut. Yes, wait some more. But it was still better than having to keep thinking about his broken car. A loud crash a few minutes ago—which was actually almost an hour ago, had damaged the radiator duct. Throughout the journey when the car was towed, the water from the radiator never stopped dripping along the road in its path. But apart from a broken radiator tank, Tyler didn't have to worry about anything about his car. There was no other damage other than a slight dent in the front which he would take care of once he arrived in Toro
From the open doorway, Harper watched Heidi's physiotherapy process quietly. Besides her, Doctor George was as concentrated as Harper on assessing the extent of the therapy's success. Although Heidi has been trained little by little to walk while holding on to two iron bars installed in a special therapy room at her home, it seems that Heidi's legs are not strong enough to support her weight. Several times Heidi fell on the mat as her balance began to waver. And Harper usually flashed a reassuring smile at the little girl if she fell again from trying so hard to walk again. "She's a strong kid," said Harper to Doctor George. The bespectacled man turned his head briefly and nodded. "Doctor, can we talk in the living room?" "Sure." Doctor George followed Harper's steps into the living room. The long corridor in Alex's mansion seemed too long and endless as he walked through it in this long stiff silence. Harper Zoey very rarely engages in conver
“There is no information whatsoever regarding Bratt Miller. He wasn't born in Sherbrooke even though his mother, Johanna Miller, had lived there." Tyler kept talking to his men as he drove fast down Freeway 55. This very afternoon he decided to drive as fast as he could to Toronto so that he could sort out the Alma Emerson murder problem as soon as possible. His investigations today into Bratt Miller in the local police as well as the government archives did not lead to any information other than a bit of inconsequential information about the Miller family. But unexpectedly, this afternoon he will bring big news to Toronto about Alexander Enzo regarding his sad and strange past life. The death of his half-sister is considered a homicide. But the killer— who is his mother, was never found by the police. Even after the police tracked down Karina's boyfriend after the death of Alex's half-sister, the man said that he had not seen Karina since the night he took K
"Mr. Alex." "Hello, James." Alex sat at the bar counter and returned James' warm greeting. "Long time you didn't come as usual." "Yes. I have a lot of work to be done. Business and all kinds of draining problems.” While waiting for James to finish making him a drink, Alex looked around the bustling club. The stomping sound of music played by Trixxy made the dance floor even hotter. Men and women in sexy clothes are busy wiggling their hips while groping each other. At the very end of the table near the door, a man and a woman were sitting across from each other. Looks serious talking with a face that looks wrinkled. Maybe they were the only visitors in this club who looked serious when everyone was busy having fun. Switch to another corner, precisely in a section full of expensive sofas. Where executive men gather to talk things over. Alex knew these people, a government executive, a power company boss, a skyscraper boss, and a
The last chance given to Randal today should pay off. Yesterday Tyler had kindly contacted him, telling him that his sentence would be overturned if he could prove his worth as a capable police criminologist. The task Tyler had given him was still the same. Find information about Alexander Enzo! Even though Randal wanted to curse loudly and reject it, he had no other choice but to accept it. Willing or not, today he had to follow Alex again. Though the wounds on his face and knees were still sending out a very painful throb. He was consciously still afraid of Alex. He was sure his life would be even more chaotic if Alex managed to catch him again like before. So this time he had to be very careful. Or if it wasn't Alex who finished him, Tyler would dishonorably fire him. Sadly his career as a police officer came to an end. Before he even started. "Halo? Mr Lautner?” Randal had to scream to balance his voice with the stomping music that sounded very loud in the Rebel
At first, she thought it was just a dream when she heard a loud banging on the door that repeatedly disturbed her sleep. Then the banging sound was followed by the sound of the bell being pressed repeatedly with a very rough rhythm that made her angry and finally decided to get out of bed. Carefully she tied the ropes of her sleeping robe, then walked like a zombie towards the front door to curse the knocker. Didn't the person know that she had just slept fifteen minutes ago? A very deep sleep because she was too tired from the many surprises she received today. But by being rude, the knocker added to her list of anger today by disturbing her sleep. "Harper, sorry to bother you." "Tyler?" Harper almost cursed the man for his rudeness. But she didn't do that when she saw Tyler's face which looked as messed up as her. In short, they were both equally tired today. "Come in. I wanted to be angry because you disturbed my sleep." "You didn't
"Hello honey, how are you?" Harper greeted Heidi softly after she made sure the corridor was empty and she had closed the door tightly. She was about to lock the door, but then she backed away because she thought it was too much. "Hi, Harper. I'm fine, but walking makes my feet hurt." "Just a little sore. If you do well, you will be able to walk normally again without any pain.” Harper gently caressed Heidi's cheeks which were getting redder and plumper. "I miss my friends at school." “Then you should practice walking so you can get to school as soon as possible. How about today's practice?" "Pleasant. Daddy was here with me." Heidi told the story cheerfully. In contrast to Harper who is now actually gloomy. She hadn't seen him since the night Alex had infiltrated her condo. Yesterday she was too busy all day and came home tired. Then Tyler comes to her condo, revealing various kinds of Alex's past which now seems like a nightm
