Guillard entered the room and brought in a bowl of cereal and a cup of water. Putting it on the side table, he glanced at Shantala who seemed to have regained her original state of mind since she was glaring at him."This time, do not throw your food away because if you did, you won't be getting any after," he told her before turning his back.She glanced in his direction and saw some keys clanging behind his pants and she was quite convinced that one of those keys would be the one to unlock the chains around her wrists. When she was all alone, she got up and sat behind the table. She did not really eat that much back in the hotel because of the disgusting presence of Klauss. But now, she had to fill her stomach so she could have as much strength as she could muster for her escape.After finishing her food, she went to the window and looked below. Several armed guards were standing by the entrance and another pair was just below the master's bedroom. It wa

"Her body is still recovering from the effect of the tranquilizer as well as the fatigue she had undergone so she will probably wake up sooner or later. Her wounds are not that deep except the one on her head. From the scans we conducted, there is no serious damage in her head but we still have to wait for her to wake up so we can run further tests and make sure she is fine."After receiving the diagnosis, Helios dismissed the doctor he hired to come and check on Shantala. Looking at her bad state, he did not expect that she would still be able to find her way out of Mr. Fuego's grasp. Or she simply outwitted him since that man's brain was just full of stupidity. But most importantly, Shantala was still lucky that he was the owner of the car she came upon before losing consciousness. If not, she would still be suffering or worse, dead by now.With the back of his hand, he put it on her forehead to check if she was still burning hot just like the first time he

Looking outside the window, Shantala had this indifferent expression plastered on her face, and the tears that once damped her cheeks were already dried. She kept telling herself that she should have expected such action from Hyperion since from the very beginning, she was never his priority... and she never was someone he actually cared about. His past actions, both his kindness and consideration, were simply for Stacey and now that he got her back, there was no need for him to be nice to her... much less help her from her ex-lover. Not to mention, he did not hesitate to send her off to Mr. Fuego and even bombed the island even though there was a high possibility for her to be killed. But no matter how many times she tells herself that, she still cannot shake away the pain tugging at her heart. "I told you," Klauss said, breaking the deafening silence between them, "Hyperion couldn't care less about you." Shantala simply stood quiet and

Ending the call, Klauss sat behind his desk and pulled on one of the drawers where he kept the dagger still covered in dried blood. It was actually the weapon that Shantala used when she attacked Tricia during the night of her engagement party with Helios. However, what also remained a puzzle to him was the fact that Shantala left Tricia's hotel room looking shocked and scared."Klauss, I did not want to kill her." Those were the very first words he heard from her when they finally left the hotel before the police came to the scene. Whatever happened to her and Tricia inside the hotel room, he had no idea what had taken place. He actually tried asking her before but she was not able to speak as if that was the very first time she killed a person.Putting the dagger back in its place, he shifted his attention towards the email he just received from one of his staff back in his hospital in Estermouth City.On the other hand, Shantala was still tryi

"Are you okay? Sorry if I surprised you," she apologized, thinking that her loud voice had startled her.The vendor shook her head with a hint of worry plastered on her face."I...I am fine. Thank you,” she stuttered.Since Shantala brought some band-aids with her, she opened one and covered the cut. It was a good thing that the pot didn't directly hurt her foot because it would surely cause inflammation. She stood back up and took the five little cacti she wanted to buy before facing Guillard."Give me 50 bucks and I will pay you twice the amount once we return," she said as she received an indifferent expression from him. She could tell that his stare was telling her how audacious she was to buy something when she did not bring any money with her. Still, she ignored it and reached her open palm towards him. Guillard gave her the money she wanted as his gaze returned to the vendor whose gaze was fixed on her.Paying for the cac
