‘I don’t think what I was doing is right. I am checking her things without even having her consent about it… but… no matter what I say for me to stop, my hand won’t let me close the journal. I want to read it. I want to know what was inside of it. Because I feel like… if ever I don’t do so, I would regret it for the rest of my life…’Reading what was inside, the date shows the exact day when he went in that auction. The day when he bought Lea.[And I met this person, his name was Aiden. Aiden Lazarus]A small smile then curved his lips. For each words that he read, he can’t help but hear her speaking those.[The first time I saw him… I can never forget what he said. “What a beautiful name. Now, don't let me down… be the most beautiful bride you can ever be” and just like that, I am now here in his mansion as the Mrs. Lazarus. I never even thought I would marry someone! Let alone.. get married like that. it is not what I thought it would be.”For some reason, Lea’s face pops on his min
“Who…”Not being able to finish what she was about to say, the girl came in. With her long brown hair, it took her no time to have a short boy cut hair with its bright orange color.‘Woah…’Surprised, the only thing she can do was take a step forward.“Who are-“Again, she did not have the chance to complete her words. With the pair of hands holding her mouth, numbers of footstep can be heard from the corridor outside“Where is she? Did you see her?”“No, I loss her”“How can you lose her when she was right in front of your damn eye?”“She was fast and-““Idiot!”Hearing the words of those people outside, she can’t help but have hunch on what the situation really is. Whispering on her ears, luckily, Brylle is in deep slumber.“By any chance, can you lend me pair of clothes?”“Y-yes…”No matter why she was chased by those people, there is only one thing that Lea is certain of. She must do as she says. In this type of situation, she was the one with no power. even if Brylle was With her
Lea POVI am still not sure of what happened, but even Brylle is making such a worried look on his face.Holding my hands so tight, he keeps on apologizing for how he fell asleep leaving me in that frightening situation. But to tell the truth, it wasn’t his fault to begin with. If I am just careful enough and fast enough to lock the door then none of this would ever happen. But still… I can’t help but feel like something as odd in everything that happened.“I will make sure that none of this would ever happen again, Lea”“Brylle, it is fine. Nothing bad happened to me, right? That is what matters the most”Shaking his head, I know this would run through his mind for a long time. This guy, what did I do in my life to be blessed to have him by my side? Even if I don’t recall my memories from the past, I can say that meeting him is the best thing that happened to me.“That is why I really love you…”I mumbled out of my realization. I didn’t intend to blur it out like that. but his eyes l
“Madame, we can’t just leave you here”“Are you telling me you should go with me in the restroom then? Even if you are my guard that Brylle entrusted… I think that is a bit…”Acting as if I am really worried about that matter, that shaken the guard of those two.“But madame, the maids are not yet back. Would you mind waiting till they return?”Putting my hand on my face, I dare not let them see how much annoyed I was right now. Can they just let me be?? I want to find someone, I need to see Mira for her to help me. I don’t know what is happening with Brylle… I am worried. I hope he would be alright soon…But before that, I must really shake these people off.“I can no longer wait. I got to go. Don’t follow me”“But madame!”“Show I shout and call you two pervert? I need to go inside! Don’t follow me!”Did… did I shout that loud? I can feel the gaze of other people looking at our direction but in know that I should just let it be. It is not as if they would do anything for that.Lookin
Aiden POVI was on my way to get out of this shop where Elton likes to purchase his suit. Of all places he went to far to go in here. just because the owner of this shop is someone he knew. And on top of that he even give me a hassle by urging me to go with him.Who would have thought that this rascal would end up doing some of my jobs just to help me have a time to went out and join him here?“I am done, I need air. Just how long are you going to choose your suit Elton?”With a frown on my face, I stand up. But as soon as I face the entrance of this boutique, an angel suddenly appears running towards me.In glimpse of my thought I almost thought that it was just hallucinations. For night after night what I always see was her face. What I always see was that day…Sorrow and anger, hatred and all, just seeing her face made all of it vanish in an instant.That was then I though to myself. How mean would I be if I snatch her away? Will it be bad it I would be the one to get something fro
“Oh Claudia… dear… you brought her back…” Kneeling soon as he heard the news, Menandro can’t help but be emotional. He also didn’t get much sleep. Even those people around him can’t help but be worried by his condition. He is not getting younger after all. “Master…” A knock was then heard. Judging by that voice, Menandro was certain it was Gino. The adoptive son of Augustus. “Gino, please prepare the car” “Yes sir, right away” Holding the necklace that holds the ring of his beloved, he kissed it and smile. “I will also do my work… you did well, honey. You did well… I will not waste this opportunity… I promise…” With his belief that this thing is a stepping stone for things to be done right, Menandro can’t help but be filled with courage, after seeing how his son was devastated by that incident, he did check through things much deeper than he thought. “But really… why is your niece in that investigation? Carl… isn’t he the son of your younger sister??” Talking to his wife as i
“Are they here yet?”Fidgeting, Menandro was restless. Its been a while since he sat there waiting for the two. They will have dinner together. But even with just seconds, Menandro can’t help but feel it like hours.Soon, the one he was waiting for arrived.“Why are you here?”Aiden asked and did not bat an eye to look at his father.“I bet you already know the answer, don’t you?”“Just, don’t cause scene”He was a bit surprise by what his son said. After all, he expect him to start a fight but…“Did you mature over those times? I am proud”A glare was then given to him, but the eyes of the two gentlemen’s was caught with the maiden’s appearance.“Lea”With his hand holding his lips, Menandro gently put it down to fic his clothes.“Good evening”She mumbled a greetings that made the old man smile.“You are indeed… alive”Offering his hand, Lea is not sure of what he wanted to do. But soon as she slowly reach her hand to him, she was pulled in a hug. Even Aiden was surprised.“I am mor
‘Why do he want to hug me?’Looking at him, Lea knew that it would bring him much sadness if she said no. But something in her heart wants to laugh. For some reason, after going in this place and after she meet Aiden, there are things that she cant explain. As if… there is something weird happening in her mind.“Ah, now that I remember, I have to go since I have an urgent meeting to attend to”Menandro then stand up. Slightly smiling at the sight of his son acting like a child. He even gestures the servants with his gaze.With just that, no other person was left in the dining hall other than the two.‘Oh Claudia, oh Claudia, our son is acting… like a cute puppy in front of her’Even Augustus who is a long time butler in the house can’t believe that the young master he knew would speak that way.He always gives cold shoulder to everyone. But when it comes to Lea, they all knew it, without a doubt, Lea already had a soft spot on his heart.‘But I wonder… why is she with Brylle… when he
