Still standing at the window where she felt the gentle breeze of the night on her face, she smiled at Laurent's word and sniffed, wiping the droplet from below her eyes again.Laurent gently dropped his hands from her shoulder. “I don't know why you're crying but all I know is that it's not a nice idea for a beautiful lady like you to shed tears with those beautiful eyes. You need to let go of whatever hurts you because if you don't, it'll keep burning you till it leaves a deep scar on your heart." Laurent said.Clara's cheek flush red, her heart lighter than earlier as she gained emotional strength from Laurent's words.She sniffed and turned to him with a smiling face, her vision slightly blurry with tears though they had stopped falling from her eyes. They were standing a few inches away from each other.“Thanks.” She muttered, her voice cracking slightly.Laurent simply nodded with a smile and walked to the bed. “It's nothing.” “I'm sorry about that.” She said, making Laurent p

The woman nodded frantically and her fold loosened on the pillow slightly. Her intention to further express herself is obvious from her stance.“They all have the tattoos of a snake on their neck..and..” She paused, her eyes dilating slightly as if just recalled something. She stood up from the sofa in a haste while Laurent and Clara exchanged confusing glances shifting their eyes to the woman as she walked into a room and returned with a tab.Laurent took a step closer to her with curiosity gleaming in his eyes.“What are you doing?" He watched the woman as she tapped her finger on the screen hastily and frantically like a hacker at the edge of breaking through a dangerous code.“Here." The woman walked to him with the tab and continued. “My husband was able to pin a tracking device one of them.” She said with a hint of hope in her voice.Laurent stared at the screen, watching a dragging red dot on a line map on it which shows the live location of the men. He nodded, a light smile

Jaguar stared at Laurent, his face expressing surprise, wondering how he got their location. Laurent's appearance was striking– he remembered him as the guy that escaped from Laura Croft's hospital.Jaguar pulled out his gun sharply and turned to his men, looking at them suspiciously, his face twisted with fury.“Who among you fucking rattle us out!!" His voice carried across the room coldly.The guards were in obvious confusion. They exchanged oblivious glances as if their boss had just asked an impossible question.One of the spokes “Boss. No one can betray you here.” One of them said confidently and assuredly.Jaguar growled as he continued looking at the men, observing their behavior but none of them looked suspicious. He shifted his gaze to the guy who talked last as if processing his claim for a consideration. His gaze lingered on him in the quietness which got the guard flustered and curious.“What's the matter boss?” He asked, his voice indifferent and calm because he was su

Laurent walked back to the lady tied down in the warehouse. He approached her quietly but his presence was striking, oozing with power. His footsteps were massive on the floor, sounding with a dull thud and bouncing off the floor as he pressed forward.“You're digging your own grave.” she screamed, her voice echoing down the warehouse.Laurent stopped, keeping a few distance away from her.“Interesting. At least I have a grave. It'll be an honor for whoever make me fall which is never going to happen but you–” Laurent voice stretched in the silence. “You'll have no grave. I'll make sure of that!" Laurent grabbed her legs and started dragging her out of the the hall, her skin scratching against the rough ground. Her black suit sweeps dirts beneath her.The lady screamed desperately. Her voice echoed like a banshee wail, disturbing the serenity of the vicinity.Her body grazed against the floor, peeling off her skin like a snake undergoing ecdysis. Laurent chest tightened with rage

Clara wants to tell Hannah the truth of the matter– that Laurent is just a friend or a rather a stranger who she barely knows but it feels as if they have known each other for a long time.Clara didn't know if Laurent feels the same way about the whole thing but he didn't react impulsively to it when Hannah called him his boyfriend.Could he have the same thing in mind. She thought.Still looking calm as ever, Laurent simply cut through Clara's train of thoughts which was about to overwhelm her.“We'll make it earnest, granny.” He simply said, smoothly and calmly without even hiccuping– Looks like he was prepared for it. Clara was emotionally stumbled by the calm way which he was saying things as if he had processed it all before now.Laurent glanced in her direction, leaning forward slightly. “Right Clara?”Clara was caught unaware with the question. “Oh.. no..I mean yeah. We're acting on it Granny.” She said with a false sweetness tone, a cracking smile expressing on her face.Han
