Mila was shocked for a moment before she violently pushed the man's body away from her.
Apparently, the man didn't intend to insist, as Mila could easily break free and jump away from such a dangerous person.
“Damn it! What are you doing?" Mila shouted angrily, she brushed the back of her hand against her lips roughly, annoyed that the man had treated her like this, especially when she noticed the grin on his lips, the same lips that had touched hers just a moment before.
"Kissing what's mine," he replied lightly, then sat on the edge of the bed, which Mila had been sitting on. "You don't think I forgot to lock the door, do you?" He asked, as he followed Mila's gaze, which was fixed on the door, brewing plans to run away.
Knowing that she didn't have a chance to escape, except by knocking the annoying man in front of her unconscious, Mila moved backward, until her back was pressed against the soft wall.
"What is this place?" Mila asked, her eyes wary, in case he intended to approach her again and do the same thing… or more.
"A research center," he replied.
"What research center?" Mila asked, looking around her, this looked like one of the rehab rooms rather than a research lab.
"A research center for people like us," he replied without hesitation, then put his finger on his lips and squinted. "But don't tell anyone that I'm as weird as you, because I'll get in trouble if they find out."
Mila shook her head, not understanding what this man was saying, everything seemed foreign to her and she didn't know the basis of the things she was experiencing now.
"If you're here just to make me think of the riddle in your answer, you better get going, because I don't want to see you here." Mila nodded toward the door, indicating for this strange man to go and leave her alone.
However, the man shook his head, rejecting the idea.
"My purpose of being here, is the opposite," he said, then stood up.
"Stay where you are, or I'll scream," Mila said menacingly, as if she could keep the man in place with this simple method.
If the strange man, who was wearing this white shirt, was one of the staff of this research center that he mentioned earlier, then it was certain that Mila's threat wouldn’t be effective on him.
However, the man seemed to respect her by indulging what she wanted and returned to sit on the edge of the bed again.
"I'm here to answer your every question, but we have to do this quickly, because I don't have much time before the next officer comes and restarts that thing," he said, nodding at the small object in the top corner of the room, which was a CCTV camera.
Mila followed his line of sight and saw the small monitoring device.
"You've already spent three minutes acting like that toward me and now we only have less than two minutes before I leave this room," he said, crossing his legs, as if this was his private room.
Meanwhile, Mila was still paying attention and analyzing the situation before she threw the first question that crossed her mind.
It seemed there was nothing wrong with following this man's game. After all, she did want to know what was going on and this man was more than happy to answer her questions.
"What is your name?" she asked.
The man raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "I didn't expect you to be more interested in my name than every other thing confusing you right now," he laughed cheerfully.
"Just answer my question!" Mila snapped, annoyed. She was thinking about the questions she should ask, but because there were so many, she chose the simplest one.
"Aaric," he replied. "I didn't mean to laugh at your question, it's just that I'm flattered that you asked for my name first," Aaric said, nodding solemnly.
Mila couldn't tell if he was telling the truth, or if he was just mocking her, but at least he answered honestly.
He looked honest when he answered...
"But, you can't call me by that name," Aaric said in a slightly more serious tone, although mirth was still evident in his eyes. "Because, this body's owner name is Bryan."
Mila frowned. What is with this guy? His words just made no sense.
"I know you're confused, but if you really lose all your memories, then this explanation will be very long and might sound more nonsense," Aaric said, as he then got up from the bed again.
Seeing that, Mila glared at him, but Aaric raised his hand in a surrender gesture.
"Two minutes is up, it's time for me to go back," Aaric informed her, stepping toward the door and opening it easily.
"You said the door was locked?" The question just slipped from Mila's lips when she saw Aaric open the door without using any keys.
Hearing such an innocent question, Aaric laughed and his voice sounded like a melody from a song that Mila likes. Hell, she doesn't even remember a single song...
"I didn't say that the door was locked," Aaric turned around and looked at Mila with a mischievous look. "I've asked you; You don't think I forgot to lock the door, do you? Always listen what I'm saying to you carefully." He glanced at Milla when he saw her stare at him fiercely, as if in the next second the girl was going to lose it and tear him apart.
"Don't worry, I'll come again to answer your questions, therefore, to keep yourself sane in this damn room, you better start composing any questions you want to ask," Aaric said in a relaxed tone. "Oh, yes... as much as possible do not take the drugs they give you."
Mila was too annoyed to answer, so she just leaned back and watched Aaric walk out of the room.
But, after two seconds, the door was opened again and Aaric's head appeared between the gap, speaking cheerfully.
“Make sure your first question is; why I kissed you suddenly, okay?" He said with mirth in his eyes.
“I know that eyes…” Cosmo said in low voice, as she chuckled brightly. “I know that determination to not want to trust me. But I don’t lie when I told you that Mila is in the dungeon. She went to see her lover. What do you think about that?” she taunted the king, but this time, she indeed didn’t lie. “I don’t believe you…” Liam growled dangerously at her, but this creature seemed to not afraid of him at all. “You don’t need to do that,” Cosmo said firmly. “You will never scare me.” The only thing that Cosmo wanted from Liam was for him to bring her here, because even though she looked like Cosmo, but she was not her and whatever she did and no matter what she had done, she would never be able to open this damn door, therefore, she needed to lure him to this place. “So, you fool me because you want to know the knowledge of this place?” Liam asked, the corner of his lips tugged upward when he spoke, but he could only chuckle when Cosmo was smiling at him, which made the dark witch co
“Maybe you are right,” Aaric finally spoke and that was the first thing that he mentioned.“About?” Mila couldn’t understand about what was right about her. “Do you have some idea?” Mila asked expectanly.“I think I have, but I don’t know if this will work or not.” Aaric was hesitated to try this and he didn’t think that it would work, but they needed to try this, right? They needed to make it worked, right?Aaric gritted his teeth, as he tried to cheered himself up because this was very devastating and he didn’t know whether it was right or not to do this. The only thing that he could say was for them to try this.“Whatever it is, it will be better than we don’t do anything and wait for me to disappear like dust,” Mila said, determination in her eyes when she said that. she looked very stunning with her black hair and black eyes.Actually, Aaric loved the way she looked right now, this made her looked more mysterious and beautiful.It was not that she was not beautiful in her white h
“Let’s go.” Liam looked at Mila sternly, but when he tried to take her hand again, she avoided him.“No, let’s see first. They are inside the room.” Mila didn’t want to back down, she insisted for the king to open the door and take a look inside. “This is only for a while, it will not take a minute if they are not here. You are already here, so why don’t you take a look inside the room?”“Why are you so insisting for me to take a look inside?” Liam narrowed his eyes because he couldn’t understand this. “You are so sure that they were inside. How do you know that?”Liam narrowed his eyes to look at her closely because he didn’t believe at all what she was saying right now. How could she know ant insist that they were inside when she didn’t even have any clue about it?“I am sure that they are inside,” Mila insisted, she looked at him with pleading eyes, as she tried to make him understand the situation. “You are already here, why don’t you just humor me and walk into that door to see w
Liam’s gaze hardened when he heard that. “You were attacked?” He looked at her deeply into her eyes when he said this.“Yes, I were attacked, she attacked me and I couldn’t avoid it and the next thing that I know, this is what happen to me.” Mila looked at strands of her hair, as Liam did the same thing.He took strands of her hair and looked at it closely, as he tried to see what kind of magic was there. “What curse that she used on you?” Liam asked in furious tone.He didn’t want anything happened to his wife, they had just married a few hours ago, but the problem had come bombarding them from all direction, how could they avoid this situation?This surely drove Liam crazy just to think about it alone. He really wanted to kill all of those bastards human.But then, this problem came up and he couldn’t ignore it.“We need to go to the forbidden room,” Mila demanded, snapped Liam back to reality because he didn’t respond to her words. “We need to go there before its too late,” she sai
“You know that I am right, right?” Aaric asked her. “You skipped your class.”Pouting, Mila looked at Aaric in disdain look. “I was not skipping class,” Mila said grimly. “I was not paid attention, that’s all.”After saying that, Mila grumbled something under her breath incoherently, meanwhile, Aaric just smiled softly to see her like this.But, his smile faded when he realized Mila’s current situation right now.It was clear to see that her hair and eyes had started to become darker and darker, she didn’t look like herself right now and this was really concerning. He didn’t know what was the right thing to do at this moment, but one thing for sure, this had to be stopped right away or else they would really lose Mila forever.The thought alone left Aaric speechless.For certain level, he could relate Mila’s condition to his own condition, because he didn’t have his own body, his own form, if they lost from this world, it would be only their soul that was left, but in that case, no on
“This is not you, Mila.” Aaric cupped her face and brushed away her tears. “Now, we need to go out from here, okay? If you don’t want to see it, you don’t need to, you can close your eyes and I will lead you out of this room.”Mila nodded, but she didn’t close her eyes just like what Aaric said. “Do you know how to face this curse?” Mila asked, as she was so afraid because her hair started to become even darker than before, she bit her lisp helplessly.If her time passed and there was nothing she could do, what would happen to her? Leaving like a ghost for another decades?Was this that had happened to Cosmo? Was this what happened to her before this? That soemoene had tricked her in this problem and made her lived in that way for another few decades?Mila gritted her teeth she didn’t think this was a nice idea for her to believe this, but then she couldn’t help it. She was afraid about what could happen to her right now.“Don’t be afraid, we can find a way to this problem.” Aaric kis
