Chapter 102

Escape

***

Leila’s eyes moistened with unshed tears.

She couldn’t believe it – but she had to see with her own eyes. She had to confirm. Even though her entire being was screaming about the reality.

The man he was talking to…

The man who was spying her all this time…

The man whom she trusted…

Leila swallowed the lump in her throat – as she gathered all her strength and resolved just to sneak into the door. And she almost lost her balance when she confirmed who it was.

Duncan.

Her childhood best friend.

He was looking at the masked man with pure hatred in his eyes.

Leila just couldn’t believe it.

She was trying so hard to contain her rage, but she couldn’t. Especially that Silver could feel the tension inside her.Then, she smiled viciously – as if she was mocking herself with such a foolish question.“Oh, yeah… What a stupid question to ask, right?” Leila said with every word said with emphasis.She looked at him painfully.“L-Leila…” Duncan’s voice broke.However, it didn’t even soothe her emotions. It didn’t give her comfort. In fact, it only pushed her to be more furious.“Stop calling my name!” She finally snapped at him.Duncan took a harsh exhale – as he ran his fingers into his hair.This time, Leila saw how messy he was.Far gone were the Duncan she used to know – the calm and nice man he was.

The sacred fig seemed to be waving its cordate in shape leaves with a distinguishing lengthy drip tip that was just too hard to miss.It only gave her the heavy feeling of mourning – for only the dried leaves she was stepping on were the only sound she could hear. The cold breeze that was fanning her exposed skin simply made her feel emotional.The sound of the chirping birds – which would be heard from time to time – was making the scene a bit lighter. However, Leila just couldn’t appreciate it now.Hunter was walking with her side by side.And she was just grateful that he was silently giving her support and privacy at that time.He didn’t say a word – but hi
