Against her will, Lesley did not go to school today to talk to her rebellious older brother. Amanda forced her to, or otherwise, she will be thrown out of the house. It is upsetting, but she still sees them as family. She does not want to be the reason for them to fall apart like this, especially now that she knows what drives Amanda's anger toward her. Her real family killed Patrick's father and grandparents. She knew that the child should not pay for their parent's sin, but she still had a guilty conscience and wanted to make up for all the grief Amanda had experienced. She somehow feels responsible for what happened to them even though she is entirely innocent. Before Amanda left for the salon where she works, she asked why she took her in if her real family murdered hers. Amanda said that she took her to save herself and Patrick. She became even more confused by that answer, so she followed it with more questions. But Amanda got infuriated again and threatened not to ask any
Now that Patrick looks like he is back to his usual self, Amanda will surely be delighted. Hopefully, this will repair some broken parts of their relationship. She made Patrick very happy and needs to be content with that. Her mother promised to treat her better if she did this. Her chest tightened as Bangs suddenly came into her mind. The chance of them having a future together as lovers are becoming more blurry than it already is. But even if she has a boyfriend now, she will keep her promise. She will not abandon him. She will still look for a way to save him from that hell called MNA. The afternoon had come. She was getting ready to go to work when someone suddenly hugged her from behind. "Don't go," Patrick whispered in her ear as he hugged her even tighter. The hairs on her body stood up. She calms herself and makes sure not to show how uncomfortable she is with him. She does not want to upset him now that they just made up. "I have to work. You understand that, right?" she
"I... I already have someone..." Bangs had never experienced so much heartache and anger when he heard those words. The sadness and annoyance he felt were worse than when she had been absent for a few days. It was even more painful than all the experiments his body had gone through. He feels a strange pang in his chest. Because of the negative emotions filling up his mind, he can barely control the rage inside him. If it was not for Lesley standing in front of him, he might have transformed into a monster again and rampaged. He is under the side effects of drugs which pushes him to be very aggressive, but he can feel and think calmly when Lesley is around. Because of her, he can control all negative emotions and violent thoughts he always has. She cures him of his insanity. She calms the monster in him and gives him something he never has, hope. She makes him feel emotions he has never felt before, but this same girl is tearing his heart to pieces. "Bangs?" she calls softly with
She finally knocked. "Sir Jacoben, I have come. This is me, Lesley." "Get in!" She slowly opened the door and peeked where Jacoben was. He is sitting in front of the desk and busy with his laptop. "Good evening," she greeted with a smile, then proceeded to enter. He closed his laptop immediately. He fixed his blue tuxedo and smiled broadly. "Good evening to you too! Long time no see! How's work? I hope MNA is not too cruel to you." She smiled. "I'm okay. I'm still alive." "Right," he chuckled, amused by her. “I know you are a strong girl." "Uhm, is there anything I can do for you, Sir?" "Oh, yes." He stood up. "I want to show you something urgently. Can you come with me?" He immediately walked to the door without waiting for her answer. She had no choice but to follow. "Wh-where are we going, Sir Jacoben?" "Not far. We won't go outside the hospital." Her forehead furrowed. Jacoben did not answer her question. Should she be worried about what he will show her? Knowing th
"Eighteen years ago, I was the luckiest man alive when I married the woman with the most beautiful hazel eyes. She was the kindest and most selfless person I have ever met. She gives respect to every living thing. It is impossible to hate her. She, unfortunately, was born into a family of mad scientists," Jacoben said with a visible pain in his eyes. Lesley quietly listened as they focused on the woman in the other room. "Her name's Maridona, the eldest daughter of Dr. Victor Nobles, a well-known biochemist, and bioengineer. Her mother died giving birth to her psychopath sister." She almost nodded at what he said. She one hundred percent agrees that Shane is a psychopath. Jacoben smirked as he continued. "Imagine having a demon as a father and a lunatic sister. It's a miracle she grew up a different person from that crazy family." He shook weakly. "Anyway, I didn't know their secret when Mari and I got married. Being with her was a dream come true for me. I might not look like a ro
Lesley is debating within herself what to do in her situation. Amanda has controlled her long enough. She should start deciding for herself, but she will hurt Patrick in the process. It pains her to do that. And is her feelings towards Bangs worth fighting for? She has so many doubts. And then she thought, what if they never see each other again like what Jacoben said? She took a deep breath and rubbed her chest while lying on her bed. The thought of losing Bangs made her heart feel like it would stop beating at any moment. Their situation is difficult and complicated. She still has a lot of things she doesn’t know about his real identity, and there are so many obstacles between them. They have to fight an entire organization that knows no mercy. Shane and Victor Nobles are strong and fearsome opponents. She shivers whenever she thinks of Jacoben’s story about Victor Nobles and MNA's history. But when she thinks of the bad things those people can do to the man she loves, her feeli
The car drove fast until they reached what seemed like a huge garden with a beautiful house at the center. Mrs. Dapit parked the car, and then they got off. She couldn't help but scan with her eyes the beauty of the garden they were walking through. There were many flowers and plants that she had never seen before planted in every corner. Her mouth widely opened in astonishment at the fountain in the middle. And the building at the center that she thought was a house was actually the restaurant. She observed the European-themed infrastructure in amazement. "Welcome to Luxies Plate!" a man in a tuxedo greeted them as they approached the entrance. Mrs. Dapit walked past the man snobbishly while she smiled back at him. Her eyes widened even more as they entered and saw the elegant chairs and tables. When she looked up, she saw lavishly decorated chandeliers hanging at the ceiling. Everyone inside has dressed formally and beautifully, both the customers and the waiters. She suddenly fe
Lesley had just finished eating with Kali at Luxies Plate. She decided to go back to the hospital and wait for her shift to start. It doesn’t matter if there are still a couple of hours left. Sitting in the lobby is much more bearable than waiting at home.She checked her cellphone and saw dozens of missed calls and texts from Patrick. She was no longer surprised. She knew his habits, and he would not give up immediately. She sighed as she put her phone back in her bag. She needs to avoid him for now.She glanced at her wallet and smiled when she saw that she had enough money to stay at a hotel for a few days. For what it's worth, MNA pays its employees well. Fortunately, she just got her paycheck and saved a lot of money for herself.She first took a walk around MNA to kill time and boredom. The hospital did not fail to entertain her. Aside from the spacious parking lot, it has well-kept gardens that fill her eyes. She also noticed that other establishments were very far away. There
