Third Person's POVSebastian glanced at Agatha and silently mouthed, "What's going on?"Agatha simply raised her eyebrows and gestured for him to be quiet by placing a finger over her lips.She then crouched down, believing she had successfully disappeared from sight.But Sebastian could still see her, no matter how small she tried to make herself.Shaking his head in disbelief, Sebastian wondered if she was pretending not to be seen.Suddenly, loud voices from the entrance caught his attention, prompting him to turn his head in that direction.Two men were causing a commotion as they entered.“Ahh!” Adam winced and shot a glare at Vincent, accusing him, "You did that on purpose, didn't you?"Vincent glanced back, rolling his eyes in annoyance. "I didn't do anything wrong. You were the one rushing and bumped into me. By the way, who are you?"Adam shrugged dismissively. He clicked his tongue and adjusted his bangs, avoiding eye contact. "Doesn't matter. I don't have time to argue with
Third Person’s POVLawrence and Maxine engaged in a game of chess.Maxine made her move, strategically maneuvering her black knight.On the other side of the board, Lawrence had just finished moving his white pawn.Their eyes met, and they exchanged smiles. The game continued as Maxine moved her white bishop to a position perpendicular to Lawrence's queen, posing a threat to his powerful piece."I have a plan to stay close to her," Maxine whispered.Lawrence shifted his queen three steps to the north. "You said they might come after you for switching sides. So why put yourself in danger?""It's better to keep an eye on her than to do nothing. Even without me, they might send others to harm her. At least I can help protect her when she's away from your sight." Maxine's white knight took down Lawrence's queen."Damn," Lawrence muttered under his breath as he lost his valuable piece. He made his move with the dark horse, strategically positioning it in an L shape towards Maxine's white K
Third Person’s POVLanceil had just finished preparing the dinner when he heard the door open with a thud.Assuming it was his brother, Vincent, he left the kitchen to inform him that they could now eat.However, his steps halted when he spotted Agatha instead.She was the woman he longed to see and hold close. Despite his desire to embrace her, he found himself rooted to the spot, unable to move as if gravity had a firm grip on him."Lanceil," Agatha called out.Upon learning of Agatha's deceitful mission to seduce him, Lanceil was consumed by a mix of anger, betrayal, and disappointment.He had vowed not to show any mercy when they next met. He was certain he could cast her aside along with his feelings for her. Yet, those convictions crumbled in the face of his deep love for her. He was willing to forgive her, provided she confessed and sought his forgiveness.He envisioned welcoming her into his arms, kissing her, and hearing her explanation."You're here," he finally replied, swa
Third Person’s POVLawrence was correct.He was absolutely certain that Agatha would return after meeting Lanceil. And she did. Lawrence observed her lifelessly getting into the car, noticing her teary eyes.'At least my fiancée isn't foolish enough to run into that man's arms,' he thought as he gazed at her. After a moment of silence, Lawrence spoke up."Now that your business here is finished, should I take you to Brett’s house?"Her eyes widened in surprise. "Y-You..." She stuttered with suspicion."Yes, it was me who informed Lanceil about everything," Lawrence admitted.Agatha had a feeling that it was Lawrence who had told Lanceil the truth. Strangely, she couldn't bring herself to feel sorry for the stubborn man who always claimed to be her future husband. In her eyes, he was a villain. But he wasn't like that anymore.Unexpectedly, a faint smile appeared on Agatha’s lips, catching Lawrence off guard.'She's smiling?' he thought, taken aback by her response.Lawrence took a mom

He couldn't sit still, constantly looking out for their arrival.As the car pulled up, Brett's eyebrow shot up, giving him a quizzical expression."They're finally here," he muttered under his breath.Observing Agatha and Lawrence stepping out of the car together, Brett couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions.When Agatha locked eyes with Brett, she was taken aback. "Oh, were you..."Before Agatha could finish her sentence, she paused. Did she really expect Brett to wait for her?Brett eagerly awaited Agatha's response, his head slightly tilted in anticipation. But as she remained silent, Brett felt a pang of disappointment, like a child waiting for a promised treat that never arrived. The sense of betrayal left a bitter taste in his mouth, causing him to grimace sweetly.Agatha sensed Brett's intense gaze and turned her head away, feeling his anger directed towards her even from the
Third Person’s POVVincent walked into his brother's condo and immediately noticed the musty, sour smell lingering in the air. Fumbling in the darkness, he finally found the light switch and illuminated the room. His gaze shifted from the empty wine bottles to his intoxicated brother sprawled on the couch.With a sense of resignation, Vincent thought to himself, 'I saw this coming.'As he made his way to his room, Vincent half-heartedly considered Lanceil's advice to act aloof if questioned about the situation. Suddenly, Lanceil's voice broke the silence, sounding harsh and ominous."Agatha is coming tomorrow."Vincent stopped in his tracks, observing his brother's defeated posture. He could have simply acknowledged the news and left, but he lingered, hoping to glean some valuable information. Despite knowing more than Lanceil, Vincent understood that knowledge alone wouldn't give him the upper hand.Lanceil kept talking, "She's going to gather her belongings and leave once and for al

Third Person's POVDuring the party at Grim’s residence, Adam managed to sneak into the mansion.Meanwhile, Lawrence was busy handling the security system, while Adam was on a mission to locate the secret entrance to the underground area beneath the mansion."Hey, still no luck finding the entrance?" Lawrence's voice came through the earpiece in Adam's ear.Adam, frustrated with the bow-tie he was forced to wear, grumbled in response, "Do you have any idea how big this place is? If you're so impatient, why don't you come and help me out, you jerk!""If I come with you, who's going to watch the security system?" Adam retorted, imitating Lawrence's words silently."I can see your face on the CCTV," Lawrence teased.Adam spotted a nearby camera, grinned, and cheekily showed his middle finger.A faint chuckle came from the other end of the line, irritating Adam even more."Quit fooling around," Lawrence said with a laugh. "You're running out of time before the security system resets.""I
