“I missed her.” Both Jilly and Cayn were lying down on their back looking up at the ceiling in their bedroom. Only their breathing sound could be heard in the entire room, this felt like the silence before the storm. Cayne had his arms underneath his head while Jilly’s head made a pillow out of it. “Does she miss us?”
“I’m sure she does,” Jilly replied to him.
“Can you at least tell me what you are going to do with the chip?” Cayne turned his head to the side to see her face.
“I told you that I’m going to use it.”
“To bait them out?” She hummed in to respond with a small nod.
“Let’s go out,” Jilly requested.
“Right now?” She nodded. “In the middle of the night?” She nodded again. “Out of the house?” She finally turned
Since no one was willing to leave the house, Jilly reserved the library for the dinner. A more private room for Jilly to have a conversation with Gael. She seriously had a lot to talk about with him after she found out some interesting information about him and his life.“Did you tell Antonio before coming here?” Jilly started the conversation and sipped on her white wine. Their dinner menu was steak for Gael and pasta for Jilly.“Antonio?” Gael was almost choked by the asparagus he eat.“Antonio Delgerosso, a therapist, Marco’s friend.” Jilly listed what she was familiar with, his name, profession, and even relation. “Your boyfriend.” She finally said the fatal one, her intense eyes looking at him thoroughly.“I’m a bachelor, single as ever. What are you talking about, Jilly?” He chewed on his meat nervously and digest it down a
Jilly sighed out loud and dropped to the couch. It had been a few days since that dinner and Marcus was also had been silent.“You have improved a lot and fast but Julliane, try not to fight. I know that is what you are trying to achieve from this session. Can’t you just let the others help? Gael is here to help.” Antonio tried to convince Jilly to just rest and let the other do the work. He just didn’t know it yet that nothing and no one could change her mind, especially when it involve her family. All she wanted was for them not to get hurt, it was and always would be her battle.“Thank you for today,” Jilly said to him and he sighed. “Out now while I’m still being nice.” She looked at him, with so friendly eyes.
“War it is,” Jilly declared as soon as they got home. Kook was the first one who approached her.“They were there?” Kook asked as he already suspected because they had been keeping an eye on her for a while. “As expected.”“They know about Grace,” Cayne stated, joining them in the conversation. He couldn’t understand how they find out about their daughter when they had done everything to hide her. He listened to her and never contacted Marcus’s household for her safety but now it got leaked, someone from their side must have done that.“I told him to consider Rachel, but he seem to be convinced that she had nothing to do with them,” Kook said, pointing out his conversation with Marcus a while ago.“I’m going to visit him,” Jilly stated. “No company needed.”Cayne stopped himself
Jilly heaved out and took the water bottle to gulp down the contain. She felt thirsty after a boxing practice. She knew someone who does kickboxing and had been her partner for a long time. Besides getting trained to fight from time to time, Jilly also does other sports like boxing, archery, shooting, and the list goes on.“It was great to hear from you again, Julliane.” Ronny, the kickboxing trainer said. He doesn’t have a favorite among the people he trained but Jilly was his great partner to have.“I didn’t slack off, did I?” Jilly asked about her ability in kickboxing since it had been years she was into it.“You are still as good as you were, Julliane. I wonder why you always ask things like that, you’re a pro.” Ronny praised her. Even a professional like her still doubted her abilities, how about the others then? “Aren’t you going to let your boyfrie
Cayne groaned out of pain like his head was being banged hard, maybe that was what happened. He couldn’t clearly remember what happened after getting down the stairs and checking the house just in case. It was not that he felt betrayed, he somehow knew that she did it on purpose. She was trying to fight back against them.“Are you finally awake?” Cayne opened his eyes after hearing a voice. He blinked a couple of times to get rid of the soreness around his eyes. He could easily find the person who was talking because the person was familiar and sitting like a boss behind the desk. “I was waiting for you to wake up. Is she not coming? It has been a couple of hours.”“Jilly? Why would she come?” Cayne replied casually and calmly.“Because her boyfriend went missing and she should be worried.” Luciano pointed out and Cayne laugh at him. Was he that naïve? “Why
“Is this the right place?” Lincoln asked. They just arrived at the abandoned building Jilly was describing. Kook and Lincoln pulled some strings and gather all the information about abandoned buildings around the area, so here they were. “This kid didn’t know places to get in trouble.”“Do you even know how he ends up here?” Katherine asked as they keep on walking over the reeds.“Isn’t it obvious? He messed up again. How would he get in trouble like this if it was not for Jilly? Do you think I can forget about this?” Lincoln showed them his pinky finger which was a perfect match with his little shit as a brother. “This is unforgettable and you were all there.”“Well,” Katherine shrugged. “You made the mistake then.”As they were approaching the old building, Lincoln saw another figure next to his brother. “There’s someone with him.”Kook take a look inside from their spot to see how was inside before getting in. “It’s Luciano, the one that he rambled to about Jilly.”“That eye cover
Everyone was waiting for Cayne to wake up and it was already dinner time. Lincoln moved Cayne up to their room and frequently checked upon his brother.“Everything is normal but why is he not up yet?” Lincoln looked at Jilly to hear an answer or at least expect one.“I’m not a doctor, so I don’t know,” she replied to him. “He should take his time to wake up, I won’t bring her back until then.”“Of course, it would be a great thing to do. Grace is not supposed to see things like this, she is just a baby.” Katherine said, agreeing with her.“I’m going to rest now. So, don’t come in without my permission.” Jilly warned them beforehand. Privacy was privacy and worry was a different thing. Everyone nodded in understatement and Jilly left them downstairs while she went upstairs to their room.She twisted the door handle of their room and push open the door before walking in. She took a look at the room before fully in, she frowned when she saw that he was awake. “How long have you been awak
“Will you stop spacing out?” Lincoln looked at Katherine who had been out of this world since yesterday. Honestly, they could understand the situation. They, except Cayne and Jilly, agreed that Katherine did wrong. So now, she was worried about her husband going missing in action.“Don’t mind me and just do your things,” she replied emptily and suddenly got up from the couch and leave the room. He exchanged eye contact with Marco and Leira and the both of them just shrug their shoulders.Katherine walked out of the house like a bum who lose hope in life. Her eyes lost focus as she keep thinking about Kook. She had never seen him get so upset like yesterday, so she was worried. Would she find him if goes out to look for him? At this point, she doesn’t care anymore because she just wanted to find him and talk things out.She walked out of the gate and just walk where her feet would carry her. During the times they live in Italy, there were no special places they go to or somewhere he te
