Female Novel
Chapter 114
Olivia burst into laughter, and Thomas looked at her silently. Broken bones take a long time to heal.Even though her bones are healed now, she still has to rest for a while longer.
Eventually, Olivia stopped laughing and proudly said, “Then you’re going to work for me. I’m going tofatten you up, just you see.”
“Sure.”
Olivia stopped talking, though she thought better of Thomas now. He was gentle, and she felt safeenough with him. Moreover, he had a sense of humor too. Not many men out there had these qualities.Even though she had never dated anyone, she could still see that Thomas was a rare one.
Thomas left the villa in the evening and went to Pontius’ house again, but like before, no one showedup no matter how long he waited. Thomas sat in his car, frowning. What’s going on? He checked outthe houses of the other four, and no one was there either. They shouldn’t have found me out, whichleaves one explanation. They’re scared. Scared that they might die like their brothers, so they’re hiding.Sh*t. This is a big city. If they’re hiding, where can I even find them? He lit a cigarette and went back tothe villa, smoking in his car.
He couldn’t go back to his own home, or Olivia would be left alone at the villa. If he hadn’t made it intime previously, Olivia would have been dead, and he wouldn’t have had any idea that the Xalmarswere behind it. Thomas didn’t want something dangerous like this to happen again, so he stayed withOlivia.
When he arrived at the villa, he saw her sleeping on the couch, and he sighed. What is she doing? Shehas a big bed, and yet she’s sleeping on the couch? And without a blanket too. If I let her sleep outhere all night, she’s going to catch a cold. He gently picked her up and placed her on the bed, then hetucked her in and tiptoed out of the room. Thomas then went into one of the guest rooms and tried tosleep, but he couldn’t. He tossed and turned all night.
According to Quincy, only six months were left before Olivia would be sacrificed to a certain mysteriousfigure. I must protect her when that happens, but I’m just one man. Perhaps I should start mypreparations now. The six families are involved in this. If Olivia refuses to be sacrificed, all the familieswill be destroyed. They’ll do anything to take her from me. Her family’s too much of a coward to stopthem. I want to, but I can’t guarantee a perfect rescue, and I’m alone.
He couldn’t stay with Olivia all the time. He had to sleep and take bathroom breaks and go out for somebusiness. Chloe had just recovered too, and he missed her. In a way, she was his sister. He was onlywith Olivia because there was no one out there trying to harm Chloe, but he had to visit her from timeto time. Damn it, I’m stretched too thin. Ugh, do I really have to ask for a favor from them? I really don’twant to drag them into this unless absolutely necessary.
Eventually, Thomas drifted to sleep, and he snored loudly. He was exhausted. This was the first goodsleep he had ever since he came back to the city. Of course, part of that was because he hadn’t slept awink the night before.
Blake was in the Hind Residence, enraged. Everything he could get his hands on in the house wassmashed to pieces, and his brother stood beside him, quiet and unmoving. If he did anything that gothis brother’s attention, he might take his anger out on him. I wouldn’t want that to happen. Jake mightbe the head of the family, but the real pillar of the household was Blake, and everyone in the uppersociety knew that.
“They call themselves professional killers? Useless, the lot of them!” Blake was going mad with rage.His sources told him that, despite his disbelief, Thomas was alive. If you can’t do it, then don’t brag!You went all in with explosions and sniper rifles, but that b*stard still lives! What the hell are you doing?This is a waste of my money! I’m not going to hire any more killers for this. They’re nothing butscammers.
Eventually, Jake couldn’t take it anymore, so he muttered, “What now, Blake?”
Blake didn’t answer. He was still seething and fuming. Jake found himself in an awkward situation, andhe stopped talking.
More than half an hour later, Blake’s fury finally subsided, and only then did he speak. “Where is heright now? Where is Thomas?”
“Northpine Villa.” Jake couldn’t believe that Thomas was alive. He saw the news and how deadly thatexplosion was. And yet he still lives?
“Do you know the specific address?”
Jake quickly handed Blake some files. Blake went through it, and he looked horrified. “Olivia had afalling out with her family and moved out?” That girl is a fool, and she’s living with Thomas now? Doesshe have any idea of the responsibility she’s carrying? If she loses her virginity… Heh, guess thePearsons are gonna die.novelbin
“Our spies came back with this. The news is true.”
Blake roared in laughter, but it was a dark and venomous laughter. “Divine providence, I say! Now callNorman. I’m going to have breakfast with him tomorrow.”
“What?” Jake was flabbergasted. We had a falling out with them. We want to destroy them, so whydoes Blake want to have breakfast with their family head?
