Due to his bad condition, finally Aiden and Calistha left Luca last night to get some rest at doctor Albert's house. After all, Luca really had to rest his mind for a while before tomorrow he returned to struggling with his new-very disturbing problem. Finding one bad person who wants to kill him among thousands of bad people, of course is very difficult. Even Luca himself couldn't predict who was going to take his life because recently his allies had decreased a bit. Many rebellions took place in the cartel. And with the death of the Baron, the rebellion became more and more inevitable until it could trigger divisions inside the cartel itself. "So what are we going to do today?" “Our work has become more and more hard, your father's rhymes have not been completely solved, plus Luca and Emily's problems, we can't just trust them. Especially Emily, that woman is dangerous.” "Emily? So that's your reason why you didn't help her right away when the attack happened? I see you and Luca

“What should I say to the police? They asked us to give testimony at the office regarding last night's accident case," said Calistha panicked. After the doctor finished examining Aiden's head and said that the man had a mild concussion, two police officers came to him and asked for an explanation of their accident. But Calistha immediately dodged the two policemen with the excuse that Aiden still needed rest to recover his condition. In fact, Calistha was confused with herself. There were too many enemies targeting them out there, so she was afraid to step out of the Emerald Hospital which she thought was very safe. “Ask Luca to silence the cops, I don't want the case of last night's accident to be investigated because it will endanger us all. As long as we don't know who really wants our death, it's better if we remain silent and look like idiots who don't know anything. But now I suspect El Diablo is the mastermind behind last night's accident because I believe that the slogan bel

The two of them were now in a black sedan driven by a foreign man who Aiden himself did not know. However, when they came out of the hospital lobby door, the foreign man who claimed to be named Rocky immediately approached Aiden and provided strong evidence that the man was really a spy for President Moon who was assigned to help him. “El Diablo's position is currently at his base, so we'll have to wait until that guy goes to visit his girlfriend at the apartment… ah shit!” Rocky cursed while pressing the digital screen a few times that was beside the steering wheel. A message just arrived and sent a notification that El Diablo would not meet his girlfriend today at the Star Light City apartment, but at a luxurious restaurant located in the heart of the city. His position in the center of the city would make it difficult for Aiden to execute him because he would be in the midst of the civilian population. “El Diablo will meet his girlfriend in a Buenos Aires restaurant, you will fi

"Crying will never bring back what has happened, so shut up and think about the next steps to fix your messed up life."Calistha looks still very devastated by Rocky's death caused by her carelessness. Even though they never knew each other, she felt really, really bad for Rocky. If she could, she wanted to go back and take proper care of Rocky's body. As a form of guilt, she wants to give Rocky a proper funeral service. Unfortunately Aiden didn't allow her to do that and only focused on what they had to finish soon. There were still many tasks waiting for them ahead, including finding another bastard who wanted to kill Luca last night.When remembering Luca, for some reason Calistha's heart suddenly felt sinking. She seemed to be getting an extra burden because she had to think about the lives of other people who could get in trouble because of her existence. Life is unfair, when she feels happy because other people around her and supporting her, they just seem to have bad luck becau

Calistha bit her lip slowly while watching Aiden's calm face resting on his comfortable hospital blanket. After two hours of doctors examining him and stitching up the wounds on his face, Aiden was finally able to be transferred to a regular ward in an unconscious condition. Ten minutes ago Aiden had opened his eyes, muttered incoherently, then closed his eyes again peacefully. According to doctor, Aiden's condition is stable, and soon the man will open his eyes after the effects of the anesthetic wear off.“Huufftt… quickly wake up and be cynical in front of me again. Really, it's much better than me seeing you lying weak like this." Calistha whispered softly to the empty air around her.She then stood up and decided to go outside for a while. A little breath of fresh air in the hospital garden doesn't seem like a bad idea. Since then she was quite bored of being in Aiden's lonely treatment room. Moreover, she was only accompanied by the sound of a cardiograph, which had been so nois

“Open your mouth! Don't be a stubborn, Aiden." Calistha growled in annoyance when she saw Aiden looking reluctant to eat his homemade food even though she had convinced the man more than ten times that the food she was cooking was really edible and safe. "I don't want to risk going back to that damned place again if I eat your food." “You think what I put in here, it's really safe. Here look, I also eat your food." Calistha angrily shoved a spoonful of risotto into her mouth and chewed it a little roughly to show Aiden that the food was safe to eat. During the three days accompanying Aiden in the hospital, Calistha began to learn to cook proper food for Aiden. When Aiden is sleeping, she will read recipes through Aiden's cellphone, then remember carefully the recipes in her brain. And yesterday when Aiden was allowed to go home by the doctor, she immediately went to the supermarket and shopped for household needs to fill Aiden's kitchen which had been rarely filled by the owner.

The beautiful woman nodded slowly, saluting the young woman in front of her while smiling sarcastically in her haughty manner. An accidental first meeting. Emily doesn't know that Baron, Luca's accomplice who died because he was shot by Aiden, has a bitch named Rania who turns out to both have a grudge against Aiden. While Luca is in a coma in the hospital, Emily is currently the leader of the cartel. As Luca's lover, the people in the cartel knew her quite well. And they didn't have the slightest doubt about Emily's leadership style because she was almost the same as Luca who was also ambitious, but crueler than Luca. "So you want to get rid of them too?" Emily asked bluntly. Rania nodded firmly in response while showing her hate-filled face that ignited a grudge. For her, life must be paid for life. Before Aiden died at her hands, she would never give up chasing that man. "Then you can join my team. Incidentally I also want to get rid of that sniper, and also Calistha, Jacob’s da

For a long time, Calistha prayed in St Paul's Church accompanied by Aiden, who had only been staring at the people who were praying with a straight face. When feeling bored, Aiden then raised his wrist to look at his watch which was showing four in the morning. It turned out that he had been in that building long enough with Calistha. But for the serenity that this church offered, he liked it very much. He seemed to be able to forget his complicated problems for a moment while looking at the holy-looking people clasping their hands. “Do you want to accompany me upstairs? I want to see the view of the City of London from the top of the tower.” Without saying a word, Aiden immediately got up from his seat and walked towards the right passage that would lead them to the tower. Calistha who saw Aiden's silence was only able to follow the man in silence while observing every beautiful ornament that lay along the church aisle which looked dim and deserted. While she was busy observing the

"That's Luciana..." Malfoy pointed to a little girl with shoulder-length curly blonde hair who was walking out of the orphanage with two friends who were also the same age as her. Calistha smiled gently when she saw the three girls because she suddenly remembered her pleasant childhood. In the past she also had friends like gang who always went with her wherever she went. Even her grandmother was made to get irritated because every time they bought a girl's clothes or knick-knacks, she always asked to buy two of her friends too so they could use the same things. Ahh... it all feels so long ago. How are the two friends now, Lee Bora and Choi Anna? "Luciana!" Malfoy called Luciana and waved his hand at the girl, begging her to come closer. Calistha looked happy when Luciana with her adorable little legs immediately ran towards Malfoy, even the little girl had stretched her arms to be hugged by Malfoy. “Uncle! I miss you," cried Luciana spoiled. Malfoy smiled happily and immediately

The little girl struggled and cried loudly in front of two well-built men who had been looking furious because of the little girl's loud voice. They then took a cloth and started gagging the pale lips of the little girl who had been crying all night without stopping. "You should be quiet and not hurt our ears, this is the result if you keep crying non-stop." Luciana inched backwards, but her hands and feet that were bound to the wooden chair made her movements seem useless. She wanted to go home and be back with her friends. She wanted her brave uncle to come save her. Saving her was like the fairy tales of the princesses that she had often read. The two men were like the monsters that had sometimes been present in her dreams, on the night when she suddenly missed her mother. Luciana sobbed softly behind the cloth covering her mouth. As a girl who is still very innocent, she has been faced with the cruelty of the world that has succeeded in taking her mother. Blame God who ordained
