บททั้งหมดของ The Untitled Love Story : บทที่ 31 - บทที่ 40

Melissa made sure to enlighten me on everything I needed to know about something called 'sexuality' and the LGBTQ community which kinda sounded weird to me, but she insisted I needed to know all that.It was somehow funny to me that in all my time reading up for the licence exams, I didn't come across anything related to any of it."There are hardly any cases where sexuality is the main problem here in Lindin." Melissa shrugged it off when I mentioned it.And according to her, queer people in Lindin weren't as flashy and flamboyant as most you would see around the world, so it was easy to miss them.I had her drop me off a couple of blocks from Theron's place because I felt it would be weird to pull up in front of his apartment with Melissa."You sure you don't want me to drive you all the way there?" She asked as I stepped out."Yeah, this is good enough for me. Plus, I don't think he would appreciate me pulling up in front of his house with a detective when even his co-workers don't

I waited a while for the feeling to subside, only turning over when I was sure my breathing had calmed.It was already bright outside, but I was in no rush to get up. Thankfully, I didn't need to. Melissa wouldn't be in the office until later that afternoon unless something came up that required her attention.I got up from the bed, gently massaging my temple as I walked to the living room. I walked in on Falcon and Theron spreading some papers across the ground. Falcon didn't seem like a threat anymore, but I couldn't help but feel my mood swing the previous night was all her fault."Shouldn't you be gone by now?" I asked, not bothering to sound polite.My gaze shifted from her to the brown envelope lying torn open in a corner, but it wasn't the one she had brought for Theron."Wait, what's going on here?" I asked, rubbing my eyes with the back of my palms.Theron didn't say anything, he just sat there with a serious expression, gaze focused on the papers they had spread out."Is an

"Wait what? How is that possible?" I exclaimed."I am not sure I even want to know, it creeped me out so much so that u immediately hung up and thought of running away." He replied, his hands trembling."Why didn't you?" I asked, massaging his hands."Because I knew if they could find me, they could definitely find my sister. And I would rather it not get to the point where she would be used as leverage to blackmail me." He replied."What did Brian have today about it?" I asked, not seeing how his best friend could have agreed to that easily."He has his disagreements, but I had to do it." He sighed."And I'm guessing your sister had no idea about this." I chuckled."Same way she doesn't know about me being hospitalised or my well-documented criminal record." He replied."You don't exactly look the part of a criminal, well when you aren't dressed in leather with ruffled hair." I shrugged."What, you don't like a bad boy?" He smirked."I like _this_ bad boy." I smirked back.He coughed

I thought you were bluffing." I chuckled as Theron mentioned the explosion."Oh, the explosion wasn't my doing, it was Mr X's rescue team." He pointed out."Wow, did they not consider the possibility of a collapse?" I asked with a frown."I don't think they had the luxury, plus they did help sell my bluff." He shrugged in response."Do, how did you guys get out without getting crushed?" I beckoned him to continue.----Sheer luck, I guess. We just bolted towards the source of the explosion, carrying whatever we could with usYes, despite almost being crushed to death again, we still recalled to carry as many of the items we risked our lives for as possible.We didn't return to the penthouse; Mr X believed it would be too risky, but he had my things sent to our new location, though.And that was because he was sending me away.----"It would be best if Falcon explained the rest." He said as he finished, his head now resting on my lap."You two sure got comfy pretty fast." Speak of th

"The Arcane Collectors' rules sure have a lot of loopholes in them." I stated after a moment of brief silence."I think that part's intentional. Members of the association and even teammates of some members are descendants of the ancient worshippers." Falcon explained."So the loopholes exist so they can still take jabs at each other." I deduced."Yeah, like Mr Harrison and whoever's stealing his donations to the Colgate University museum." She nodded."Mr Harrison is an Arcane Collector?" I asked surprised."A very powerful Arcane Collector." She smirked."More than Miss M?" I inquired."More powerful than Mr X." She replied.Suddenly, the feeling I got from the man that day at the hospital made sense. That cold dark look in his eyes, his disciplined expression, and the chill behind his threat.If I had actually come to the hospital to harm Theron, that would have been the end for me."So powerful, but Theron still got caught in an attack on his relics." I scoffed, recalling the hosp
