Se connecterKathleen's POV I hadn't even thought we would face someone like that. I was afraid for a second, but we should be okay with it since everything turned in our favor,' Caris said, and I hummed before looking at the moon that was shining so brightly.Packing my stuff, making sure I don't leave any hint about my presence behind, I booked a cab before descending the stairs.I would have to walk for some distance as the cab will arrive at the borders of this village that is around 2 km away from here.Taking my belongings, I walked out of the hotel after clearing my bills and pulling down my hat to make sure no one suspects me of anything.As I was walking fast towards the border of the village, I squinted my brows when I saw a car passing by me.Wait. Isn't that Alexander's car? I thought, biting my lips.I know I keep pushing him away, but right now, I really wished he could drop me off at the border at least. Today's mission took a toll on me, and I was feeling too tired. Besides, as ex
Kathleen's POV"Don't worry. Everything will be alright," I heard Alexander speak as he placed his hand on top of mine, and I looked at him, waiting for his explanation, and he sighed."It's written all over your face. Something is bugging you, and you are quite worried about it, right?" Alexander said, and I hummed before smiling."It's nothing," I said before stepping down from the car once it stopped in front of the hotel I was living in."Are you worried about that prisoner? The prisoner because of whom you almost risked your life today? The one you were looking at as if she was someone important to you?" He asked, and I looked at him before sighing.He was too observant for his own good."Have a safe journey back," I said, not bothering to answer him as I nodded and turned around, my mind fixated on Lady Cera and her tortured body.I had never thought I would see the lady who had once made sure I was always taken care of like this. She was like my nanny, who used to care for me w
Kathleen's POV "You are lucky, miss. Our sir has never risked anything for someone before, let alone a trillion dollars deal," the subordinate said, and I nodded before sitting on the bed after he left, feeling troubled.A trillion dollars deal? Why would he risk all of that for me? Is this demon so good? I thought before looking at the clothes, smiling helplessly, when I noticed how big it was for me.After taking off the dirty clothes, I looked at the rare gem that shone again, making me hold it away from my face, and I was perplexed to see how it was making my bracelet shine along with it. Is it some kind of gem bond? I chuckled before shaking my head and wrapping it neatly in my handkerchief and top.After bathing, I went out of the room, feeling a bit shy in the clothes I was wearing, as it was making me feel embarrassed at how small I looked in them.The t-shirt was reaching my mid-thighs while the shorts were reaching my knees. Though I was a good 5'10", the clothes were still
Kathleen's POV"I - I -" I started before taking a deep breath and opening my eyes, ready to fight the person who held my hand.Holding the hand holding me in place from behind the pillar, I was about to push the man away when he suddenly pulled me closer, hugging me from behind."If I were you, rather than pushing the man who has come to save you, I would hold on to him for dear life," The man said coldly, and I finally recognized his voice.Alexander? What is he doing here?"Come with me," He said with a dark look in his eyes, and before I could even blink my eyes, with the speed of light, he brought me out of the dungeons within a few seconds, placing me on the ground gently, making me widen my eyes at him as I finally turned around.Wait. How does he know the path out of the dungeons? I am sure this isn’t the front or back of the dungeon. Unless he has also seen the detailed blueprint, there is no way he would know about it. Does that mean he was also - No. He was here with the al
Kathleen's POV This reminds me that these people have called for more security in the West region. It looks like I would have to kill a few to get out of here anyhow.Walking towards the West region with that prisoner tailing behind me, I was about to turn to the corner where the next corridor would lead to the West region of the dungeons when something, or should I say someone, caught my eyes.There in the third prison, which was right in front of me, was none other than my mother's Personal maid, who was known to have died before my mother died.Even after all these years, I could never forget the face of the lady who helped me walk and grow. I was a hundred percent sure that she was none other than Lady Cera, but the main question was, how was she still alive?I am sure they reported that she died in a fire accident and brought her corpse to the pack. Her family members had confirmed her identity. And if she is alive, then what the hell is she doing here in the pack that has a feu
Kathleen's POVLooking at the large boxes and gold coins scattered on big plates, I felt like I was in some kind of treasure room of a King. I had never guessed they had so much gold and rare things piled up here. No wonder they are ahead of everything from most of the packs and have unyielding brutal security.There were around eight golden boxes bigger than my palm, and somehow I doubted that the rare gem was in one of them.The prisoner said his colleague made a mistake by touching the golden box, and they caught them. I am not sure if that's the case, but I think one of the golden boxes has an alarm buzzer. Or maybe most boxes have an alarm to let these people know of any kind of theft.Now the only way to get the gem is by finding out how to touch the box without touching the alarm, and for that to happen, I need to find out the possible places where they might fit the alarm.Walking towards one of the boxes, I lifted it gently before looking around it. If they want to catch the
