TEDROS“Did you get to speak with the manager of the motherboard delivery?” I questioned Cole as soon as he stepped into the office. He paused halfway towards me and spun around, groaning in frustration as if regretting his decision to walk in. “Why are you still here?”“That’s because I work here,” I answered, lowering my gaze from him and looking down at the files in my hand.My gaze trailed to the heaps of paperwork that still needed to be taken care of. Not that I didn’t have a secretary who could have done it or an assistant; I insisted on doing it myself.“That's the point of it all,” Cole grunted, turning back to look at me. “If I knew you were here, I wouldn’t have bothered coming in.”I raised my head to frown at him. He was probably saying that because he didn’t want to work anymore for the day.“Have you spoken to the manager like I asked you to?” I repeated my question.“No.” He replied, walking over to me and flopping his butt on the chair in front of me, his eyes scann

ELODIESitting across my monitor screen in my dim office, I closed the book's last page. I scanned my eyes through the notes I had taken. For the past two months, I have been reading every book I could find about premature transformation. Now I was finally done reading everything I could about the transformation. The book hadn’t said anything about the last transformation stage. The only thing written about it was to get rid of anyone in the previous stage, but there was no way I was killing Ted.I couldn’t believe I had spent two months reading and doing research only to find nothing at the end. But I still managed to learn a few things that I knew nothing about. I was glad for that.The days had been hectic, and there were times when I had fallen asleep in front of the computer, only to wake up and continue. It had been a while since I had spoken to Tedros properly, and I missed him.He had no idea what I was doing because I was too busy to even sit down and have a discussion with

ELODIE“You have a father?!” I demanded, feeling like he had punched me in the face. How could he have a father, and I know nothing about it? Now I feel like all this time I claimed to know everything about him, I’ve just been lying to myself.“I am so sorry,” I mumbled, seeing that I had freaked out before him. “I didn’t mean to ask about your father like that. It’s just that it took me by surprise. I never knew your father was still–”“Alive?” he questioned, cutting me off.“I didn’t mean it that way!” I tried to defend myself.I didn’t want to get him mad for thinking that his father was dead when the man was still alive.“He is dead, Ducky,” Tedros murmured in a low tone.I breathed a sigh of relief. “I was right all along, so he is dead.”A smirk curled up his lips. “He is dead to us, not dead.” He revealed, shattering all the relief I felt. “How long have you thought that my father was dead?”I peered at him, reading his expression. He wasn’t mad nor was he surprised. He just ha

ELODIE“He hasn't been giving me a hard time, and I missed you both,” I muttered to the two who were squeezing me tight. “I can't breathe.” Cole pulled back from the hug, and Belle followed suit. She had a worried look, just like the one Tedros had when he told me about his father.It was more like she wanted me to go somewhere else than get into the house. “My father is here already,” Belle said, I could feel the resentment in her voice even though she tried to hide it. “He is in there with his family and asked of you, so I had to stay with her and wait.” “That son of a bitch.” Cole cursed through gritted teeth. “I told him not to ask after you since he never cared for his children.” “Cole,” Belle called, glancing at Cole. “You shouldn't curse in front of Elod.”I found no reason why they would want to be careful around me. I was on their side since their father had decided to treat them like that. “There is no need to be careful around me,” I muttered. “Tedros already told me a

ELODIE The cold expression on Tedros' face seemed to fade away as soon as I called out to him. I brushed past Belle and Cole before they could stop me, and in a few seconds, I was in front of him. Holding onto his hand, I stared into his eyes and shook my head. “You shouldn't do this, Tedros. I am fine; your siblings protected me enough.” I wasn't sure if he was mad because I was called an outsider or because his father supported his half-brother instead of correcting his mistake. However, I knew for a fact that I was also involved, especially since he had been hesitant to bring me along. “He just called you an outsider,” Tedros hissed. “You shouldn't try to protect him. He’s not related to anyone here.” “I know that, but you can't afford to get angry now.” I squeezed his hand, trying to calm him down, but it wasn't working.
