I swallowed the lump on my throat and forced myself to continue reading the letter. "Of all people, why you? I know as you read this letter you're asking yourself the same question. To be honest, I don't even know the answer. I just feel that I could trust you…. You are a good person, Beatrix. The overflowing goodness in your heart was something I admired. You are someone I could never be no matter how hard I tried to. I'm just a supporting character who was never meant to be happy…. And that was my…

Surprise hit me when Sister Bella Rose took a deep intake of breath before gingerly vacating her seat behind her. For a moment, she just stood there with a deep frown forming on her temples, and quietly battling an inner dilemma. When I thought she's gonna stay that way for a little bit more, her mouth opened. "There's something which I haven't told you yet," She said in a barely audible whisper that stopped me on my attempt of lifting the teacup to my lips. Catherine Grace and I looked at…

"Now that we are settled, may I ask why you came here?" The nun's voice was soft and sweet and very reassuring. I could listen to her for hours while she spoke. "I mean, this place is a two hour drive from town and that makes me think that you came here for a very important reason." She added, her amber eyes peering through exquisite eyelashes. She gracefully picked her teacup and brought it to her lips. Patiently, she waited for a response. Her curious eyes swept on our faces. A momentary silence…

The moment I opened the door, Catherine Grace hurriedly entered the room. There was an unusual frown on her beautiful countenance as she sat on the bed and placed the laptop on her lap. Seeing the urgency on her face, I quickly closed the door. With long, hurried strides I reached her side. "Cat, Is there a problem??" I asked. My eyes surveying her expression wondering what bothers her. When there was no response, I slowly sat in the space beside her. My eyes surveyed the laptop she opened on her…

"He's dead." Catherine Grace repeated when I made no move. I stood in my place, frozen. Ybbrahim Greyson's large body was sprawled on the long couch. He was wearing a plain white shirt and black pants. There was no blood stain on any part of his body. He looked as if he was only peacefully asleep. He was a healthy man and he did not look old despite his age that's why his death was such a shock. As I surveyed him questions raced through my thoughts, Did he die of natural causes? Was it…

We would be dead if Samantha caught us. I warned myself and did my best to hold myself still. The footsteps came closer… and closer… and closer… When I thought it would dash straight at us, it finally stopped just in front of where we stood. "Do you think you could fool me, huh?" Samantha snapped, her sharp voice filling the whole room. I flinched. Terror sliced through me. Did she find out I trespassed in her mansion? I clenched my fist and suppressed the growing fear inside me. My brain…

Great! Just great. I stared at my reflection in the mirror with growing exasperation. I looked exactly like a robber clad in sinister black clothes from a crime movie I watched a long time ago. It was the third time I checked my reflection on the full length mirror but I couldn't get enough. I wonder if this was only a dream. If it is…. I want to wake up from this nightmare right now before all hell breaks loose. My pulse jittered, beads of sweet formed on my temples, and my palms turned to ice…

I stepped outside the building feeling lighter than ever. After talking with Ace, my mood improved and my emotions felt much calmer. Even if he had to stay in the detention room at least he was safe. It's much better compared to a cold, dark prison cell where his safety was no guarantee. Once outside, a soft sigh escaped my lips. I stood still and looked up to the picturesque blue sky while telling myself that whatever problems we have now, it shall pass away. Ace and I will conquer this ordeal…

The car pulled into a stop and I pushed the?door open. The large three-storey building greeted my vision as I got out of the car. "Shall we get inside?" Catherine Grace said softly, her eyes intently watching my expression. Tearing my gaze from the view, I looked at her and nodded. I took a deep, steadying breath and stepped forward. Catherine followed beside me. My feet felt heavier each step I made. It felt as if my knees would collapse anytime soon. I can't wait to see Ace and yet the more I…

If god could give me a one-time power I could use today, I would ask him for the ability to teleport so that I don't need to bear the agonizing journey in order to reach Belavia. Plane would take four hours to reach Belavia and a private chopper would only take three. And aside from the means of transport mentioned, there is no other way to reach my destination. I don't have any other option except to choose the private chopper…. Unless of course I have super powers and I could fly across boundless…
