Recently Xiran had been obsessed with defeating his father. He had conducted countless meetings and formulated umpteen plans with his allies regarding him.

It had been concluded that as soon as a powerful enough serum to subdue the powers of his father will be concocted, they will make a move against him.

Aldridge had given him the green light for the operation and currently, he had been forming his private army of vampires, hunters and other species.

The time he didn’t spend at the orphanage was mostly used up at training. The information Agent 93, Amoris and he himself had accumulated was used to draw up blueprints of his father’s hidden facilities and plans were put into action on how to attack them.

He was sitting in his study going over a blueprint of one of his father’s facilities, raking his brain on how and where to attack it when his heart seemed to have been jabbed with something sharp.

Tha pain grew and his hand went to his heart which was racing like a frightened deer.

"Sssss," he slightly hissed at the radiating pain as it grew deeper and he knew it was not physical. There was nothing wrong with his heart there was something wrong with the girl he loved.

The pain soon subsided and disappeared as if it had never existed in the first place, leaving him perplexed. He wanted to pick up his phone and call Yurian to check up on her. But he had already sent Amoris so he decided to wait for her call.

The incident had left him restless and he could no longer concentrate on work. What if something was wrong with her? Recently he had been experiencing more and more sessions of this pain that radiated through him, leaving him more miserable than he already was.

He paced his study for a while but it didn’t pacify him. So he quietly went upstairs to her room and flipped the light switch, flooding it with a white hue.

He stood there for a few minutes, his mind wandered to the moments he shared with her here. The first time she confessed that he affected her too. He stared at the spot where she had stood that day with her wet hair and a teal nightgown.

A small smile appeared on his sombre face and he found himself approaching the cupboard. Opening it he searched for that teal gown and took it out and pressed it against his face and nose.

Her faint smell still lingered in it and he closed his eyes and inhaled even deeply.

"What’s wrong with you Leia? Are you doing alright? Why do I have this feeling that you are not?" the distress in his voice was too apparent. He laid down on her bed and clutching her gown close to him, he curled up and fell asleep.

After playing the video game with Yurian, Aselia went to sleep. But Yurian couldn’t so he texted Frila and told her everything in detail and sent her the picture of her tattoo as well.

Frila was still awake, she had been summoned by Rumail and Rivan and all three of them had a meeting to filter out the details of what to tell Xiran and what not.

So she texted him back without revealing she already knew about most of the details except her tattoo.

[Hi Yurian! This is truly worrisome. I wish we could reunite them somehow for it’s killing both of them. I know what losing someone you love feels like and I don’t want Señor and Aselia to go through this.]

Although Yurian didn’t want Xiran to return to Aselia’s life but today’s events had him thinking and he knew the bond they shared was much deeper than the rest of them could anticipate.

He was left wondering if it was even possible for her to fall in love again because that did not seem to be happening. His anger was surging as he typed and hit send:

[I don’t know how it will work but staying apart even after she has forgotten him is not working for her. And I can’t see her going through this torture every day. Talk to Xiran and tell him to fix this somehow.]

Frila could understand his frustration but she wasn’t sure how to tell Xiran. Rumail and Rivan both had agreed that they will not tell Xiran that Aselia had gone on a date and someone had kissed her. They also didn’t have the details of how she had gotten herself injured for Yurian had refused to tell her.

[I can’t tell Señor about her going on the date, he will react strongly and might end up revolting to violence. I don’t want that. But he knows something is wrong with Aselia. So if there is please tell me because I have to give him some truths.]

Frila tried again to get the information and it worked for Yurian told her in the next text that Aselia had gotten herself involved in a bike accident and Frila’s hand flew to cover her mout She knew Xiran will be extra cross that she had put herself in danger. He had already fussed over her acquiring a bike.

[Is she alright now? Tell her to be careful.] She texted back.

[She is. Luckily her wounds were not serious and she had only dislocated her arm. I didn’t want to worry you because you are going through enough in your life but you are the only person I can openly talk about her. Sorry to dump all that on you.]

He replied with a heavy heart. Frila was the kindest vampire he had come to know and he wondered how she was so sweet and down to earth.

[It’s alright Yurian. You can talk to me about whatever and unburden. Life goes on and we learn to live with it.] A tiny tear and sniffle escaped Frila, the burdens of her heart weighed heavily on her.

[Same here. I promise I will be there for you in case you ever need me for anything. Don’t ever hesitate to ask for help or text me.] Yurian’s reply put a smile on her face and she felt genuinely happy after a long time. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

[Thank you. I will, good night Yurian. Will talk again.] Frila kept her phone aside and slipped under her blanket with a satisfied smile.
