" I knew you would come, brother" the man said with an eerie smile, gesturing at the empty seat in front of him.The two piece suit on his body molded his perfect physique, a limited edition diamond glam wristwatch was fastened on his wrist and a queer old watch was fastened on top of it, if not for the scar on the side of the face, the man would have been the perfect model for any fashion magazine, even though he was putting on a corporate business suit, it didn't lessen his menacing aura.The three experts were flanked at Draco's side, thier pose were overbearing, any other person would have felt pressured but the man remained unfazed, the grin on his face even grew wider." We're just going to have a casual chat, why do you need to bring so much company" He drawled lazily.Draco sat down on the chair and the man poured the expensive wine into two glasses, the sparkly drink fizzled in the crystal glass and the man took a sip of his drink." Relax brother, it's not poisoned"Draco's
" How many lashes did he give you" Erada asked calmly, she was stroking the whip and the expression on her face was unreadable, even though she was a mercenary, she hated people that hurt weak women and little children, it was a clear line she had drawn when she decided to become a mercenary, if she hurt weak children and defenseless women then she was no different from the people that had hurt her and mother, the same people she was determined to destroy, the scars on her body still reminded her of her ordeal and the constant nightmares that plagued her sleep." Eldest miss.. I lost count after the fifteenth one.." Viola said amidst tears, she wrapped the blankets around her to cover her body." Then I'll double it" she said solemnly.Royal was overjoyed until a flick of the whip landed on his left ear and he cried out in pain." Olivia! What are you doing!!" Royal screamed as he held his bleeding ear." What does it look like I'm doing" Erada smirked." Have you gone mad!" Royal ho
Erada couldn't find the driver, so she intended to drive on her own to the orphanage, she couldn't waste any minute to call the driver, luckily the guards stationed around the house hadn't received Vince orders or else it would have been difficult to leave the mansion. Even as she drove, her mind was a whirling mess, those incidents were real and hearing Olivia's words only confirmed it, she had been confused at first but now it all started to make sense, she had possessed Olivia's body and that was how she got to know about her grandfather, she couldn't tell at first because everytime she looked in the mirror, she would find her reflection staring back at her but now she knew it wasn't her reflection, it was Olivia's.Perhaps if she hadn't met the boy at the orphanage, it would have been difficult for her to believe.When the boy at the orphanage had stared at her, she had felt a strong form of oppression, the feeling was so overwhelming and yet familiar, it was the same way she us
*Peculiar orphanage**Green city*" big sister, it's me, 54, I possessed this woman's body just so I can talk to you"The woman's words made Erada shocked." Big sister, it's really me, you were asking me where I came from just now" the woman persisted " big sister, let me in so we can talk"She was still in a state of shock, even as she let the woman into the car." How.. how did you do that.."The woman shrugged " it's pretty easy but why can't you do it, big sister! At your age, it should be really easy for you to do"Erada's frown deepened" What do you mean, what are you exactly?" Erada could tell this boy wasn't ordinary and his action just now confirmed it.The woman frowned, she was even more clueless than he thought. " Big sister, you're a soul shifter, just like me, the other day at the orphanage, I tried to possess your body and I couldn't, that was how I knew you were a soul shifter, if you weren't a soul shifter, I wouldn't even be having this conversation with you "" B
*Kingston's Mansion*Erada sent a maid to get her a list of herbs immediately she returned to the Kingston's mansion, while that scum Royal was being tended to by a physician, she couldn't let Viola continue suffering in pain.The whip had cut through her skin and even though the blood had been cleaned off and she had changed into a fresh set of clothes, Viola's pretty face was still pale.Viola's eyes widened in surprise as Erada returned with the boy, why had she decided to bring this strange boy home, even the eldest miss had never brought any of the children to the mansion." Eldest miss.." Viola queried with her brows knitted in confusion.Erada shrugged " he is 54 and he's spending the night here"" But eldest miss, we'll have to prepare a room for him and I'm afraid it's.. inconvenient" Viola trailed off." Don't worry about that, the eldest Master's maid will prepare a room for him, I already told the guards to inform her and if she doesn't comply, they would drag her here" V
The physician called to treat Royal was none other than the matriarch of the Howard family, Cecily Howard, she had been the family's physician for years and even though she had been summoned in a hurry, she still took her sweet time to get her makeup and hair done before changing into a fresh set of lab coats.Once Royal was alone with Cecily, he finally let out all his frustrations." I want that bit*h dead mother" Royal's eyes were bloodshot and his fists were clenched tightly " I want her to pay for what she did to me, I want her to suffer tragically before she dies"Cecily furrowed her brows, judging from the poison she'd been feeding Olivia with all these years, she shouldn't have been able to hurt Royal, it was the only thing she couldn't understand." How did she manage to hurt you to this extent"Royal couldn't possibly tell anyone that she had overpowered him, it would be too embarrassing to admit that he had lost to a weakling, instead he came up with a lie." I was going ea
*The Kingston's mansion*" 54, it's time for you to go back to the orphanage" Erada said to the boy the next morning.54, continued to look at her with sad bunny eyes, if he could speak then he would have screamed that he wasn't going back, 54 shook his head in denial." Little boy, you should go back to the orphanage, you'll miss your lessons if you continue staying here, you can come back for little Freya's birthday tomorrow" Viola added, she didn't understand why Erada was calling him 54, just because he wrote it down on a book, did that really mean that was his name.Knowing Viola's character, Erada didn't tell her anything about 54's identity as a soul shifter, she only warned her not to offend him.54 continued to shake his head, although no one treated him badly at the orphanage, no one understood him either, he had gone through things that the average children hadn't and it made it hard for him to relate with the children at the orphanage.This big sister was the only one he h
*Havilah City*Edwina was familiar with the eldest master's routine and the place she dreaded the most was the laboratory, even after staying by his side for so many years, she couldn't get used to the screams of agony that echoed throughout that place.She helped him fasten his diamond watch, there was one watch on his hand that he never took off, even while he slept, the queer old watch was always on his hand, the queer old watch was like an eyesore when placed on top of the diamond watch but the eldest Master never seemed to mind.There was also a replica of this watch on Edwina's slender wrist and this watch was like a needle, pricking on her conscience.This watch was the same tool she used in finding those soul shifters." Edwina, lead the way" Cerek said expressionlessly.Edwina smiled brightly despite her unwillingness " yes, master"The two of them strolled to the harbor where a boat was already prepared.The kind of people Cerek envied the most were soul shifters and over
