CHAPTER 60 - No Trace
Lovi's POV I had watched as Athena struggled to let herself out of the supervisor's office, and I immediately rose to my seat and rushed into her side. Her eyes flickered on my face and her signature smile flashed towards me, and I smiled back. I wrapped my arms around her. "How are you feeling today?" I asked. "Still the same, nothing has changed," she said flatly. I gently pulled away from the hug and fixed my gaze on her eyes as I held her hand firmly. "Come with us later. I promise it will be fun!" I encouraged her, with an upbeat and enthusiasm written all over my face. She managed to give me a forced kind of smile like she was required to do so. "I will try," she said with no excitement in her voice. I took a deep and heavy sigh, before reverting my gaze to her. "Do not just try, and do not even think about it. You should come and have some fun," I urged her. She just stared blankly at my face, with no at

CHAPTER 61 - Fantasy World
Athena's POV My shift was about to end in a few minutes, yet here I am, still stuck in writing and adding some chapters to my novel. I also have a lot of editing and proofreading to make, and the day of the launch is just two months away while I still remain on the ground still. Before, all the concepts and ideas naturally flow in my mind whenever I need something to write about. It was like my creative juices are so innate, like it was a constant part of me, and will always be there whenever I need them. They had never betrayed me, even for a bit. But now, I could not seem to locate them. I have been constantly digging my own brain, but the ideas seemed to be hiding somewhere. It feels like I would need to smash my head so that the creative juices would splatter around and the only thing that I needed to do was to pick them up one by one and put everything into writing. I had been called out for quite some time now. Though our supervisor had

CHAPTER 62 - Jealousy
Chad's POV I glanced at the two women who were trailing at me from behind as we finally reached our destination. Lovi's face was filled with excitement and enthusiasm. While I started to notice Athena roaming her eyes around like it was her first time stepping her feet on this place. Athena has been invited by Lovi so that she can somehow relax her body and mind. The physical battles that she had managed to face and withstood within the past few months have been extremely difficult and challenging, not to mention the mental strain that has been adversely impacting her emotional state at the moment. I have been thinking lately that we could somehow invite her out and see if her thoughts and emotions will likely improve for the better. Most of the time, she politely turned down our offers and invites, as she has been seriously choosing to isolate herself from everybody else. Well, not for tonight, at the very least. As soon as we managed to rea

CHAPTER 63 - Overshadow
Unknown POV I had been running for quite a long time now, but never once have I felt a slight decrease in my energy. I was so equipped with all these running and chasing around that I had become an expert in this field. In fact, I could have joined a track and field competition, and I am completely convinced and confident that I would most likely win and bring home the bacon. I was watching the detective pathetically chasing and trying to outrun me. He seemed like a middle-aged man, with an athletic built body that made him almost catch me. Almost, because my speed and resilience are still like no other. My strength and cunning abilities can never be compared to any superficial beings in this world. I just successfully completed salvaging another victim and freed its tormented soul when I heard some cracking behind me, just like if someone had accidentally stepped on the wild bushes and withered leaves on the wooded surface, making an unintel

CHAPTER 64 - Realization
Chad's POV I was starting to get worried when Lovi has not returned for a half-past hour, while Athena was sipping her ladies cocktail peacefully as her eyes wandered around the bar. What is the meaning of this? Athena was the best friend, yet here she is, sipping calmly and chilling out at the bar while her friend was nowhere to be found? I was already pacing back and forth as I ran my fingers frantically on my hair. Athena seemed to notice my uncomfortable gestures, in that she placed down her glass and fixed her gaze at me. "Chad, what was wrong?" She started to ask. What does she mean by that? I mean, she clearly saw everything that had happened earlier, yet she continued to ask me what was wrong? Is this really the adverse impact of what she had gone through all these months? "Athena, you witnessed what happened earlier," I implicated, trying to control my urge to give her an incredulous look. She

CHAPTER 65 - Bleeding Words
Athena's POV I have been staring blankly at my laptop screen, trying so hard to scribble some words that would pop up and make perfect sense to me. I had been typing and deleting the words and paragraphs for the past three hours, making it appear like I was not making any progress at all. Because of my frustration and disappointment in myself, I have become so uncomfortable working at the office, with all my work colleagues passing through and through my workstation and peering to take a glance at my computer screen, probably checking if I was able to revise my manuscript with scenes that consist of horrifying scenarios, gruesome chapters, and nerve-wracking ending. That was why I have decided to bring my laptop at home, so I could patch things up on my manuscript and work things out before the launch date for my book will take place. And because the date of my book launch was coming near, I had become so worked out and stressed more than ever.

CHAPTER 66 - Debris and Eons
Athena's POV No matter how long It takes, I am not particularly capable of convincing or retaining the right people. Why? Some might make an argument that it was because I did not see a person's character and relative importance until they were rotted away. Some may even reach the conclusion that I have squeezed and worn down everyone around me, causing them to break free from my clutches. Not just that, but many would make the point that I do not really know how to undoubtedly determine what is best for the person I am presently with. And guess what else? Every assumption and discernment conveys a negative result. No logical reason could ever leave me feeling destructive about why I was never very good at manipulating or struggling to keep people to stay. So, what could be the possible explanation for their lack of willingness to remain by my side? It was broadly speaking regardless of the fact that I do not compel people to

CHAPTER 67 - Faint Noises
Dimitri's POV "Why haven't you called my attention and informed me beforehand?!" I was startled as I hear Detective Amiri's roaring voice in his office and his hard fist slammed harshly and noisily on his table as I sat there powerless on the chair just in front of his desk. "Sir, I could not inform you beforehand because the mysterious figure just started running like a madman, and a throbbing intuition made me get on my feet and start chasing the culprit," I tried to explain. I have watched as he sighed a deep and exasperated sigh. "Didn't you realize that you could at least give us a heads-up so that we can back you up instead of running like a lunatic all over the wooded area, while we were completely stunned and taken aback as we watch you get loose all by yourself?!" He screamed as he continued to scold me. I tilted my head downwards as I have finally realized my mistake. "I am sorry, detective," I muttered. Dete

CHAPTER 68 - Cruelty and Greed
Unknown POV I was at the dark alley of the parking garage, waiting for a chance to lunge an attack. I have been keeping a watchful eye on this woman for the past week, and I could say that I could not stand another day seeing her in the same predicament she had put herself into. Her name is Georgina White, and she was a famous ramp model for a clothing brand. I have watched her glimmer while making her signature strides followed by her magical swirls as her long and silky hair gracefully followed along with every movement. And I could say that she was a very rich, powerful, and indeed, a beautiful woman. She had a boyfriend who was also a model for the same clothing line. They started auditioning when the clothing brand was about to get launched years ago, and they had tried everything they could just to pass through with the audition phase. Luckily, Georgina was able to pass the audition in flying colors, while her boyfriend didn't. Because

CHAPTER 69 - Sweetest Answer
Chad's POVI was smiling from ear to ear when I have felt a light tap on my shoulder. I looked over my back and recognize who it was. It was Zidane. He was grinning at me."Hey, man! What are you so happy about?" he began to ask, with his eyes filled with dread to know the reason for my happiness.His question and curiosity made me grin even more. Now I have started to get a vision of myself like a lunatic hyena who successfully completed his mission all throughout his journey."Lovi and I.." I began, then trailed off, living it a major cliffhanger for him to fill in.He waited patiently while still grinning. But I have continued browsing on my mobile phone and never said a word after that, nor have I hinted that there was something to talk about."What?!" he demanded to know. I looked right at him and could see the furious expression on his face. I could not help but chuckle at his initial reaction. It indeed worked quite w
