Chapter 69 Charm

Venice Claire's POV

So many things have happened in these past few weeks. Everything is slowly getting back to normal but it wouldn't be the same as it is. Threats are just outside especially if that Marco Baron is still alive but after the incident last week with the Blue Fire Gang. He didn't make a move yet. I think he is waiting for a cue, that cue is still unknown.

But, if it happens, the Insigma Fighters have prepared for the possible dangers that may come. They are preparing for a battle that may possibly occur. And so I am.

With days have gone by, there is still no sign of Adrian's sister, Marco Baron cannot be contacted. Everything was just a setup, the guards took the weapons but they didn't give the girl back instead at that night, they let Adrian talk with her through a video call. Marco Baron is too smart and wise. Tch. I'm still smarter...

The truth is, I really don't care about the girl. I don't care about how long it would take to get her back dead or alive. Why would I? I don't even know her. Because if I do, she's already here and that Marco Baron has already turned to ashes. That girl is not my mission, it's theirs. I might be searching for her but I don't exert much effort. I like what I see, I like challenges... I like to play into people's game by watching and somehow I don't interfere but there is just one reason that made me do things which I never do in my life... saving someone's life.

The question is, why do I stay here? I can't leave him, not when his life is in danger... because he's the key to my happiness.

I was out of my thoughts the moment his scent got stronger. Suddenly, I felt strong arms slowly wrapped around my waist, hugging me. "Any plans for today?" This guy never loses his charm.

"Go-" I was cut off when I heard Drena yelling. We looked at it.

"Adrian, how much do I have to tell you that we can handle ourselves. We'll attend our classes!" She nagged towards Adrian. We were in the kitchen right now and it's still early in the morning.

"No! And that's final!" Adrian said angrily.

"You're not my father!" She yelled throwing her hands in the air.

"But, I'm your boyfriend!" Yup, they've been together the moment Adrian comes home alive from their last mission given by Mr. Baron. Drena said she wants to be with Adrian in every precious moment they have. And so, they entered into a relationship.

"So, is that your plans?" Xenon hardly asked near my ear. He's too close, hugging me from behind but I think, I made him mad.

"Yes," I answered.

He tightened his hold "I won't let you." He coldly stated.

I get out of his hold and started walking upstairs towards Zoey's room "You have no choice. My life, my decision." I stated not looking back as I continued walking. The last thing I heard is a strong punch in the wall.

I'm staying in the guest room with Zoey, she barely comes here because of her missions. Well, it seems like she catches missions for me, which is much better. I want to take a break from killing.

I took a bath and wear my school uniform when I got out of the bathroom... I smelled him. "Is there anything I can do to change your mind?" He asked softly.

"Nothing you can do." I looked at him, he's sitting on the edge of the bed while staring at me.

He stands up "Then, we'll go together." He stated as he walked closer to me and hold my hand. The tingles I felt never leave every time he got to hold me.

There is one thing I know, the bond we have is getting stronger...

"If that's what you want. Come on let's eat, I'm hungry!" I dragged him outside of the room towards the kitchen.

I let go of him and take a seat as I felt him beside me.

"I'm so excited! We're going back to class! Woh!" Lucas exclaimed but got a slap on the back of his head coming from Adrian. "Ow! What's your problem!?" He asked angrily.

"We don't know what will happen outside Lucas, you wouldn't know you might get killed." This house is part of the school and as the best fighters, it was given to them.

"You know Adrian, sometimes be happy, smile! Don't stress yourself for something you have no control of." Lucas said with frustration. While Drena is preparing the foods on the table with Adrian helping him.

"Just tell the truth that you wanted to see your girl, Lucas. Tch. Lame excuses." Coby stated while walking towards the table. He was just woken up.

Lucas smiled in adoration probably thinking about her girl.

"Children! Take your seat let's eat." Drena called. "Where's Cassy?" Drena asked looking at Coby.

"Why are you looking at me? I'm not her nanny. Tch." He then received a glare from Drena, "She-she's probably changing." He continued, afraid of her.

"Casssyyyyy!!!!!!" Drena shouted.

"Coming!!!!!" Cassy shouted back, suddenly I saw her trying to fit her shoe. "I'm sorry, I woke up late today." She said glaring at Coby while walking towards the table. I looked at Coby to see him biting his cheek, hiding a smile.

"How about Zoey, where is she?" Lucas asked.

"She walked out last night. I don't know where she went." Drena answered shrugging.

"She always does that but, she always came back so no worries," Cassy added and Lucas just nodded.

"That girl is something... Claire, how do you know your cousin?" Coby asked looking so curious.

I shrugged.

"Yeah, why did I even asked you..." Coby mumbled but I still hear it. He accidentally glanced at Xenon but immediately looked away seems... scared.

"Okay, let's eat!" Cassy exclaimed and we ate in silence.
