She was supposed not to be lost...That one sentence seems to have added more pain to my heart. I am responsible for every single action. I take my responsibility more seriously than others. However, watching the girl I am supposed to protect has been missing for the last ten minutes, my blood rushes inside my brain.I will go crazy any moment." No sign of her walking away from this store? Not even in any CCTV camera footage?"My silent, cold, and calm voice sends a message into Ben's brain. He needs backup before something happens. Or he will witness the destructive storm right here. " Calm down. I will find her within half an hour. Trust me!"He assures, his fingers intensely dialing the emergency number. He needs urgent backups.I scan the area, repeatedly, making sure a single hint doesn't get away from my sight.Imagining the footsteps of Maria when I walk slowly toward the door. According to the footage, Maria's eye direction was left side of the door. She was looking at some

" Did you see her eyes when she looked at you? As if you are her entire world. Every time you hurt her, she doesn't hate you but she complains through her eyes. How can you tell me to stay calm? You told me for Maria's sake, you will love me. Is this what you are doing?" Those words Liliana has been using to nag, she said those words yesterday too. Even when I slapped Oryx, she said those words. How can a person's world be another person? Especially someone like me?However, Those repeated words seemingly felt meaningless when Liliana first said them. But once I started noticing her eyes, Liliana's words started echoing my heart Those eyes indeed hold thousands of complaints about me. But, I don't want to see them as serious as it looks. After all, it's still meaningless to me. " If you are done. Please go to Maria and try to talk to her. You are her mother. But she doesn't like you. You should make an effort to get along with her!"This is concerning. Maria doesn't like to talk to

" You know that you can't get out of our clutch no matter how strong you are! Do you wish to see a lifeless body as you have imagined last night?" Her heartbeat dropped as well as her shoulder when her mother placed her phone on the table. Indeed, there is a report file about her child being born in their hospital. " I want you to give two bags of blood today. Since you are my daughter, I can't punish you more. And stop searching for that bastard who destroyed your youth. What a shameful thing to our family!" " How did you know I was searching for the man that night?" She asks as her eyes dilate with shock." Hah! You still have the strength to ask. As I said I am your mother and I know you better than anyone does. " She snorts. "You ever threatened your father. Do you think just knowing how to use a gun can help you kill us? You can't even kill a fly. " She scoffs rolling her eyes." Stop dreaming of becoming a police officer. And be a good housewife and give birth to the heir of

" What did you say?" Oryx gasps as she receives a call. " Someone attacked Miss Liliana and Maria. Maria is in a coma now. Miss Liliana's left hand got fractured!"" You must be kidding me. This is a highly secured area. Nobody can enter." She speaks coldly before grabbing her purse. Her eyes go to her parents and Marquis's parents who are waving at her to say goodbye. Forcing a fake smile, she waves her hand and walks out of the restaurant. " Did you check the CCTV footage? Go to the monitor room and check who did it!" she asked while hopping the car." We are sorry, Ma'am! All footage is deleted."Being speechless, she starts driving. No wonder in the middle of the dinner, Marquis left. Someone attacked in this strictly prohibited area where only a few people are allowed to visit. This doesn't make sense to her. Also, the entire house is surrounded by guards. So, it was done by someone from internal control. " Try to restore them. No matter what and how long you need, try to rest

" Let him go! Why does he always call you when I am right in front of him? Do you like him that you can't block his number?"Oryx's sharp eyes shrink more, with annoyance as she is being distracted by an anonymous call. " Who are you? Miss!" She said as she kept repeating herself to watch the footage. " Aren't you Oryx?"" Yes. I am!"" Then you should know this number. The owner of the number is my love of life!" the girl hisses angrily, as she doesn't like Oryx's cold and indifferent voice." That's not my fault that your crush doesn't like you. Stop being pathetic and try to win him over. I am hanging up!"Hanging up on the girl, she soughs. Not frustratedly but disappointedly..." Why would you do such a thing to your own family? Liliana!"Her dark eyes watch the video repeatedly. The answer is the same. Nobody attacked her. Instead of that, It was Liliana herself who hurt Maria and broke her arms. Oryx's hand reaches to her forehead, slightly rubbing as she can't understand hum
