"Shit!" Verasco's body was pushed away along with the revolver that fell to the ground. The hot lead, which was supposed to perforate the inside of Rose's head, missed by a long shot. Verasco turned away, jerking at the presence of someone beside him. Theo with a bandage on his head had just foiled his plan. Verasco didn't have time to let his anger build up. He crawled quickly to reach for the revolver just to repeat his evil deed. 'The one who lies down, must die'. Until one second had passed, he was still patenting the phrase. There was no mercy for her. Rose was the easiest target. The target most able to satisfy his desires and all that was suppressed. "Don't you dare do this to her." Theo growled sharply. Interrupting Verasco's actions just like he did the first time after entering Rose's ward.

"Let go! I can walk on my own." Verasco shook both hands and smoothed out the folds of the crumpled cloth wrapped around his body. Theo had always been against Verasco, the very reason why he didn't want to even consider Theo's existence, let alone consciously call the man by name. It was far better for Verasco to liken Theo to Zever, until the day he and Zever could meet again. Verasco turned away. He left the hospital grounds with a sour look on his face. He got into the car with his mind on fire. Failed plans made... he would not give up that easily. If rushing was the decision that made it unsuccessful. Verasco would detail every step he would take. Not at this time. "I received news that Elijah and his subordinates are awake, sir." The information distracted Verasco. Of course he had another problem. The device Selena had found in the collar of his clothes that time had a close connection to some of the events unfo

"The lipstick you gave me is too red, Beatrace!" protested Travis unhappily. He wiped his lips in front of the small mirror several times just to remove any traces of color. "Master said you should be beautiful." Lion's voice chimed in loudly. He leaned against the wall of the door, satisfied with the way Travis had been transformed into a beautiful nurse. "Just shut up. Don't talk so much!" Travis pulled off one heel, intending to throw the object. Instead of that happening, Beatrace stepped in as a deterrent. "The master is waiting for you, go away." "Well, did you hear that, Trixia? No need to get angry, just knock on the door and go inside." "I'm not Trixia!" Travis handed Beatrace back the small mirror. Turning a cynical face, he pushed open the door frame of the main room of the mansion. Somewhat jolted Travis highlighted where Theo was. His steps were slow, struggling in heels and a uniform that hung halfway down his thighs. Travis smoothed his appearance as he no

Both silent. Both leaned against the headboard. Neither of them spoke to each other. No one started. Neither wanted to break the silence. Theo was busy with his laptop or cell phone. While Rose silently waited for news from Aiden. From late afternoon until midnight, he hadn't contacted her. Rose sighed. Occasionally glancing at the monitor that was lit in front of Theo. The web display showed images of the anatomy of the human-female body and a series of long sentences scrolled along with the cursor that kept moving. No idea what Theo's purpose was in studying that. Rose didn't try to ask directly, or maybe she had no intention of knowing anything about what Theo was doing and hiding. It was clear... their relationship was not healthy. It would only be a poison, a slow kill. Rose's face turned to where her cell phone lay. Hoping that Aiden would at least send a message and give her some news. But the screen of the flat thing was dark.

"It's Uncle T, Mommy." The two of them sat on the living room sofa. Oracle quickly crawled onto Rose's lap, and held the woman close. His face was hidden deeply... gradually tightening the circumference of his arms around Rose's slender body, to avoid Theo's increasingly inexorable clamor. "Is Uncle T near?" Rose didn't answer. Theo was already towering over her, without warning stooping slightly—cutting off the distance between the three of them. He was so busy looking for Oracle's sunken face that he didn't notice Rose tracing the faint bruises embedded in his cheekbones and the corners of his eyes. "Why avoid Om T, huh?" Theo's question made Oracle gasp. His embrace slipped away as Theo tugged on both of Oracle's arms and moved the boy to sit right next to Rose. "Mommy Rose is sick. Can't hold Oracle on her lap like before." Oracle didn't argue. Theo was firm and not angry, but Rose t
