ELIAS’ POVIt was a really horrible sight to see, but still, we had to understand what was going on. I had to examine the body for any clue I can get about the whole situation or what exactly had happened here.I moved closer to the body, although, Scarlet held my hand back, but I gave her an expression to show that everything’s fine.“If we look closely at the bodies, we might be able to find a clue on who could have done something as heinous as this. So, you check the bodies over there while I check the ones, here.” I instructed the guard who brought us here.“Noted, Prince.” He responded and then went over to examine the other bodies piled up.“Are you certain you can find any clue? They are all so messy and…and…”“Scarlet, please calm down. If you can’t watch this, you can go to the far end or wait out for me. Everything’s fine. I just need to examine these bodies, alright?” I said to her and she nodded her head, trying to calm herself down, but she didn’t move an inch.I scanned
SYLVIA’S POVRecalling all that had happened in the course of my journey with Brad, one memory I couldn't forget was how I felt after it all and how I couldn't hold back the anger.~flashback~I could see the look of shock on Brad’s face. Definitely, he didn’t expect that I would not succumb to his wish, especially when it had to do with my sight. But deep down, I preferred to have my sight, and feel free to do whatever goodwill I wished to do.But then, having my sight meant that I had to succumb to do evil things which wasn’t me. I couldn’t bear to do evil things. It’s more like I freed myself from a particular bondage just to get into another one. “Did you hear the words that came out from your mouth? You just said that you prefer to be blind, Sylvia. How can that be possible? How would you be fine with remaining blind? Don’t you recall all the sufferings you've been through, since the time you went blind?” Brad retorted, looking at me with disbelief.“I don’t care. I was still li
SCARLET’S POVI took in a deep breath as I didn’t want to destroy what we were having right now, especially as we just made up, but even the mere sight of her face kept getting me annoyed.“You know what? I’ll be right back.” I said, trying not to make the wrong step.I walked out of the living room, with thoughts of the best reaction in a situation like this. As I got into the bedroom, I paced around with my thumb in between my upper and lower teeth. What would mom do in this situation?Regardless of whatever we do, mom wouldn’t throw us out or say words that makes us feel rejected, but she would ensure we know that what we did is wrong. With Sylvia who has been seeming really difficult to control, I think I might have to find a way to put things in a way that it would sink deep into her head, and then she would feel sober.I also didn’t want something that would take days for her to be sober about it and then when she comes back, she would have done something worse than drawing tatt

ELIAS’ POVI decided to go over to meet with Sylvia at her home as I needed to get to observe some things about her which was really necessary. I would have to experience her up close and personal before I can come to any conclusion that something is definitely off.“Hey, Sylvia.” I greeted her as she opened the door.She looked surprised. What can I say? It’s been a long while since I spent time with her, and even visited her, so she was probably not expecting me to show up, so that was understandable.“Elia.” She spoke softly, still looking at me like she had to be certain that she was really speaking to me, and I was the one who showed up at her doorstep and not anyone else.“Are you going to allow me in?” I asked, waiting for her to usher me in as it was already getting weird that I was still left, outside.“Oh, yeah, sure. I’m sorry. Pardon my manners. It’s just that…”“You’re surprised to see me.” I completed the words for her with a smile as I walked in and headed for the sofa
ELIAS' POV.Three days, and I hadn't gotten a word from the tracker. Each day, I had waited patiently for him to give me news concerning Sylvia, but I hadn't seen him at all. He seemed to have vanished completely.Dialing his number, and texting him proved futile, and I began to have an uneasy feeling. On the third night however, I tried to get news about the tracker through people I knew he had some connections with.“We haven't seen him in like three days. We thought he was busy. He doesn't take calls, and read messages. Naturally, he's not that way. We only thought his work made him that way. So, if it's not work, then…what could it be?” An elderly man informed me. “He doesn't act this way?”“Never. He checks on me every morning. I'm starting to think he's missing. Please, don't try to assume maybe he went off somewhere or something. I think you should try searching for him, before something bad happens to him.”“I'll… I'll try searching for him.” J promised and turned around to
