“Where did Reign take Thraia?” I immediately asked Elliott when he came to my room to take me downstairs and eat. I went back to my room because I couldn’t afford to stay there in Reign’s room. It has also been three days since the day Thraia confessed. I did not have a night of proper sleep during that day, and I could see the wakefulness and swelling of the eyes on my face. I don’t know why I’m like this, maybe because Thraia was the one I wanted to be friends with for the first time in my life. “You need to go downstairs and eat lunch, Ruchee. The maids said that you eat a few mouthfuls, then sometimes, you don’t come downstairs to eat. How many days have you been like that?” Elliott said, ignoring my question. I looked at him, and there are scars on his hand and face. I only saw him again three days ago, and I also did not see his face for a month. What happened to him?

Also, I don’t want to be in a disadvantaged state with the boss,”   “Relax! You are too scared of our boss, and I thought we would only take one woman. I didn’t know there was a reserve,”   “This is okay. Ma’am Sharmon said that no one was in the house because she had given Jaccobich’s men sleeping pills. We didn’t expect that there was still someone awake, so we had no choice but to take them,”   I heard their footsteps walking away from me. I opened my eyes because of the loud conversation, and I don’t know what they’re sayin

“Don’t move,” I whispered to Luna as I put a bandage on her face. She didn’t move, and I was confused why she was smiling at me; I just ignored her. When I finished bandaging Luna’s face, I immediately smiled, “It’s over,” I said, then stood up.   “Can I sleep now, miss?” Luna asked. I know that she’s so tired from what happened, so I gently nodded that made her smile widened, “Thank you so much for treating my eyes, miss,” then she closed her eyes and then talked no more.   I took the water basin full of blood and the medical kit. When I turned around, I saw Brielle, “Thank you so much for helping Luna, miss. And how did you know such a thing? Like medical pieces of stuff and treating something like that?” Brielle asked in astonishment.    “I’m a nursing student, so I have some knowledge about treating people,” even though I haven’t had an official experience yet, at least I know something because of my passion for

“Can you assure that those maids are in safety?” I asked Shino. We are still walking, and I don’t know where we are going. But I think we were on our way to the port where we had launched earlier. “Yes. You have my word,” Shino said, then continued to walk. I also felt Shino let go of me, and we walked together. I can still see Shino’s crew running, and others are preparing weapons and even their selves. It is as if we are preparing for a massive war. “If you just want to talk to Reign, why do you need more weapons and explosives?” Shino didn’t look back at me and kept his eyes on the front as I peeked down my path and looked at him.  “I will also end everything here.

The smile on her face suddenly disappeared, and then she wields her knife in front of my face.  “I said you jump in that cliff!” Sharmon shouted and pointed the knife at my face, so I backed away and felt that I already lose the gap between me and the cliff. As I stared at her, I could see in her face that she was desperate for me to disappear from this world.  “Why are you doing this?” I ask. My hands were rest
