Chapter 24 – Not Humans

(Brielle’s POV)

This day had been so boring that I had to run twice around the mansion after tampering with the cameras in the hallways. The locals knew no one had ever stayed in this place for long except for a few days of business trips that made a few family members stay, but it seldom happened. Perhaps the cameras were for people who would enter the mansion uninvited, but this town has an almost zero percent crime rate.

I had been to every door, memorizing whose bedroom it was or which the room was for, until I found Kione’s room. I did not go inside yet; instead, I ran through the driveway and did not dare get out of the metal gate. When I got tired, I lay on the grass and bored my eyes on the palace-like house of the Kirkwood. The mansion was empty, but there was something homey about it like I belonged here.

The growling of my stomach made me walk back inside the mansion, but as soon as I walked through the living room, a note on the center table stopped me.

‘Love pizza?’
