"Seeing things? What do you mean?"My forehead creased because he was spouting nonsense."Alfred was the one who fetched you, my lady," he replied."Fetched where?" I questioned."We were a little worried because you did not come home immediately after visiting your parents," he explained, "Alfred checked on you on the cemetery, and he found you passed out on the ground.""That's absurd! Are you saying that I have lost my mind?" I exasperated."I'm sorry. It's not like that please calm down, my lady," he apologized, "Do you want some coffee?""No, it's alright." I dismissed him and climbed the stairs towards my room.What's happening? Was it only a dream?No, it's real.He's real.I opened the sliding glass doors of the balcony and went outside to get some fresh air."It's been so long since I have felt so alive. I wish I can see you again, Doom," I whispered with a sigh."Seems like your wish was granted."I tilted my head sideward, and I s

I could not count how many times he muttered curses before he vanished into thin air.   Meanwhile, here I am left dumbfounded on what had just happened earlier.   My mind was debating whether we really did it or not. Technically, yes we sure did. But it was the fault of our recklessness so in my opinion it was not counted.   I was sitting on the floor, my body was stupefied for a brief time.   I touched the cut on my lip, as I flinched in pain.     When we lose balance and stumbled towards each other, my body went sideward. I don’t know what had gotten into him, but  he was able to catch me with his arms   This resulted in the two of us falling straight to the hard ground, while I was on top of him.   The impact was stronger than we have calculated. With the event happening so fast, all I could remember was his lips parted a lit

“You’re safe now, my lady,” Butler Wong said and greeted me with a smile. “Where am I?” I asked as I roamed my eyes on the surroundings. I saw the commotion outside the door. I see, I am in the hospital. Doctors and nurses were busy saving people's lives. “Hospital, my lady,” he replied. I returned my gaze to my butler who was smiling at me the whole time. This was the first time that I noticed it, but he was kind of creepy. “Butler Wong, where have you been the whole time last night?” I asked suspiciously but I did not make it too obvious. “What do you mean, my lady?” His smile never faded from his lips. “I won’t say it twice. You know what I mean,” I said coldly. “By any chance, do you suspect me, my lady?” he asked as his smile was wiped off from his face. “Is there any reason for me to suspect you, butler Wong?” I retorted his question. I crossed my arms, not taking my eyes off him as

“My lady? Are you alright?” my butler said on the door as he immediately rushed towards the balcony, and helped me get up. “Yes, how did you get here so fast, butler Wong?" I said as I’m trying to adjust my wobbling knees and balance in standing. “I was about to knock when I heard a gunshot so I immediately checked on you,” he explained. “Did they catch the culprit?” I asked as I heaved a long deep sigh, and wiped the sweat on my forehead. “They are still tracing where the sound came from. That person didn’t even bother to use a silencer,” he analyzed as he realized something, “Should I escort you to your room, my lady?” he added. “Thank you,” I uttered as he started to escort me towards my bed. “Don’t worry too much, my lady. We will do our best to catch that person, and make him atone for his crimes.” “Alright. Kindly close and lock the glass door of my balcony,” I ordered him while tucking myself in bed. “Right ahead

I wonder how were they able to manipulate the people in my household.I didn’t have any idea that they were lurking at my back for a long period of time.“Alfred, do you have a proof for your claims? I will help you if-““My lady! It was not Alfred. The real suspects surrendered themselves just now.” Butler Wong appeared as he caught his breath.“Calm down, Butler Wong. What happened?” I asked calmly as I motioned him to speak slowly.“I didn’t know either. I was surprised to be honest because all along I thought they were my friends. I still can’t believe that they have the intention to harm you, my lady.”“Explain clearly, who are these people? And where are they now?” I asked again.“I think I mentioned them to you before, my lady,” he started while reminiscing, “They are Luisa and Arnold. They surrendered themselves at the station. I just got a call from the police a few minutes ago.”“You did not notice any strange acts from them?” I observed his reactio
