"Isn't that the young lady's voice?" Elder asked, his tough face instantly sweeping a torrent of horror and shock. "That's right. It the Mistress's voice!" Photel too was shocked by the sudden scream. Elder paused for a moment following what Photel had just said. The both of them exchanged a gaze. Photel could take a guess what flashed across the mind of Elder in that space of a second. Elder, although acceptance of the fact that Rehenna was now the wife of Sir Gamaliel, had never thought of her as the head lady of the island. Photel calling her the mistress meant that Rehenna, after Sir Gamaliel, had the final say on the island. Although this was the reality, he had never thought of it in that light. The sudden realization that swept across his mind in that made him forget that they were supposed to taking care of whatever was happening on the mountain. "What are you doing?!" Photel snapped at Elder who had just snapped at himself to snap out of the unnecessary distraction. "Ca

"What letter?" Photel was the first to show a big interest. Elder had yet to make a solid move. Rowan advanced but didn't know what to do precisely. Based on allegiance and service, he could only interact directly with Elder. Any details or information needed first to be communicated with Elder before any other person. Yet, Photel wasn't just any kind of person. Rowan had seen how much of respect Sir Gamaliel accorded to Photel. "Out with it." Photel was getting quite impatient at this moment. He could get a clue of why Rowan might be hesitating which was beginning to fuel his anger. He had shoved aside every form of bad feeling ever since he came into the island, and this wasn't the time to revisit them. Thinking that Rowan would place another person over him in class and status wasn't something that he could easily condone. To speak of facts, Oscow Consortium used to belong to him and Edward had just awarded a huge contract to the company of Rowan. How dare Rowan think little of
Chapter 270
Mark didn't even know how he kept the car going. By now, he should have put his foot to the break to bring the car to a halt, but somehow the human mind and instinct seemed to have its own sovereign right. A perfect will of the creator. "I really don't know what to ---" Mark trailed off even after making a conscious effort to think for a moment before speaking initially. "But I do have my own questions, too." Jessica bounced back to the original inference. "Let's go to Isabella's place first." Mark decided. He needed to clear his head before having a conversation of that nature. "Then we can have all the questions and ---""We can't go there." Jessica opposed. "Why? Your mom would be tracking you?" Mark asked. "I should have thought of that, too. Why didn't I think of something so obvious and ---""That's not why." She cut him short. "Huh? Then why?" He demanded to know. "I don't want anything to do with that family anymore. If there would be any conversation, it should in a ope
Chapter 269
The both of them came to a halt at the front of a convenience store. Jessica had gotten out in order to go grab some bottle water. The running and all had made her thirsty. Also, she needed to refresh herself in any way possible. Mark looked through the window. From there, he could see the store, but he couldn't say the same thing for the person standing outside. The window had been tinted in such a way. His mind instantly drifted to an urgent situation. For some reason, his mind started playing back everything that he had heard Jessica's parents say. He wasn't quite surprised by most of all because his mother had already filled him in. Yet there was something especially particularly that he kept being bothered by. The little transaction that had happened between Kaira and Jaira stuck with him all through the drive away from the Nolan Residence. No matter how much effort he put into not willing to sustain the thought, he ended up doing a terrible job. "At one point it seems like i

She recognized those eyes immediately. She didn't know how she was able to jug her mind to be recall the details of whom those eyes belonged to, but somehow she was able to arrive at that very reality. It was strange and shocking. Jessica instantly walked out of the dining space and headed straight to her room. There was no use standing with her parents anymore after all. They had just threatened to put her in a coma just like they did ten years ago. What kind of parents would threaten their child, let alone their only child, with something so terrifying and horrific. "Kaira!" Jaira instantly turned to his wife as soon as Jessica walked off. "You are about to cross the limit.""You should have spoken some sense into her." Kaira was unwilling to back down. "If you dare to touch her again..." Jaira trailed off for a moment. "You know me when I'm done. You don't want it."There was a heated atmosphere that was sustained for another few seconds. Neither of the two said a word. They bar
Chapter 267
Mark was driving as he turned into the next intersection. His mind was doing a marathon round the compounding thoughts that were stalking in mind and preventing him from having a clear head and mind. "Watch where you are going!" A sudden shout drew out of nowhere. Mark looked through the mirror to see an elderly man shoving a middle finger at him. Although he didn't quite know what he might have caused but he didn't bother to slow down let alone have a talk with the other person. Most times, things like this happen just for the exercise of frustration. He kept his head clear for a while until he entered into a street that was quite less busy. It was responsible to make sure that he wasn't trying to put people's lives on the line by not being aware of his environment. He could plunge himself back into those deep thoughts as soon as he realised that there were no vehicles in sight. He shut his eyes for a moment and took in a deep breath. There was too much to run around. Jessica, w
