Chapter 91 TV

Venice Claire's POV

The moment I opened the door someone immediately pulled me into a hug, I hugged her back.

"I missed you so much, sweetie..." Mom whispered.

"Miss you too mom." I softly stated which made her pulled out.

"Did I heard it right?" She asked looking at me in shock.

"I think you heard it right mom, coz' I heard it too," Carlo murmured behind her back.

"You found your soft voice sweetie. I'm so glad!" She hugged me once again.

"Oh, me too!" And Carlo joined the hug.

I get out from their hugs. "You two should grow up. You're annoying." I plainly stated then walked towards the living room and sit on the couch.

I saw Zoey on one of the couches near mine eating popcorn while watching the TV.

She looked at me and blatantly rolled her eyes as she went back to watching the TV. I know she's upset.

I leaned on my seat and closed my eyes "Spill it."

She won't be that upset if nothing happened to her. But I didn't hear anything except the volume of the TV getting louder as it was. "Don't make me say it once again Zoey," I said still not moving on my spot but rather heard the TV turned much louder to the fullest.

Out of annoyance, in just a second I picked the gun hiding on the couch and shoot the TV, the screen broke and shut itself.

Now, I'm in front of her pointing the gun on her head.

"What happened he- Oh my gosh!" Mom exclaimed the moment she saw the broken TV.

I felt Carlo take a seat on the place I was sitting earlier and watched us with a cup of popcorn in his hands. I ignored them.

"Spill it." My voice was deadly with authority.

"Fine!" Her eyes started to water. Tch. "You went out for an adventure with the other girls but... without me!? You ungrateful cousin! You even left me in that mansion, alone!! And worst with those filthy bastards! Agh! I hate you! I've been searching for you but you're nowhere to be found! How could you do that to me!?!?" She cried.

"What did you do to those bastards?" I asked plainly.

She smirked as she wiped her tears "You wouldn't want to know."

From the look of her, I really wouldn't want to know. I felt sorry for those men for leaving them to her. They should not dare going inside that mansion. I hide the gun in my pocket.

"Is that all? No fighting, fighting?" Carlo asked in disappointment but I ignore it as I take a seat beside him. "Oh so boring." He said and plopped down on the sofa with his head on my lap.

"Oh, my lovely TV!" Mom cried in front of the TV while rubbing it. "You've done so much, I'm so sorry this is the end of your journey."

"Take your head off of me," I ordered at Carlo holding my gun once again. He suddenly sits up groaning.

"What should I do now? You destroyed our one and only TV." He pouted like a child. Tch. He loves watching TV to distract him from reality.

"I'm still mad at you! I didn't even hear you sorry!" Zoey yelled while glaring at me.

"Why did I have this kind of family..?" I murmured more to myself

"Hey! We heard that!" They all yelled in chorus.

I closed my eyes take a deep breath and stand up "You are all... crazy." I stated and run faster towards my room, hearing their screams of frustration.

Strange family ever.

Suddenly, I remembered taking the bug out of my cellphone and leave it at Xenon's house.

He must be freaking mad right now.

Xenon's POV

I've been pacing back and forth here in my room. I'm freaking mad right now! How can she do this!?

She freaking left the tracking device in her room! What if something happened to her when she's away? What if... shi*! I get out of my room banging the door in anger and furiously went towards the dining room.

When she got back she will surely pay for it.

"What happened to you?" Lucas asked looking at me.

"Shut up, I'm not in the mood." I angrily stated.

"Claire isn't here. She might have headed home that's why he looks furious." Adrian said taking a seat beside me.

"Oh, I see." Lucas grinned. Tch.

"Claire went home?" Drena asked the other girls came closer waiting for the answer.

I nodded.

"But, you have your mission tomorrow right?" Cassy asked in worry.

I immediately looked at her. "What does it have to do with Claire?" I asked confused.

She immediately looked away not knowing what to say and Drena immediately went back to her work, preparing the food while Stella faced Lucas talking with him. What's wrong with them?

Why did they suddenly avoided my question?

I stand up "Are you hiding something from me?" my voice was hard.

"N-nothing." Cassy stuttered.

"Claire is your motivation. It would be better if she's here during your mission." Drena explained.

"Yeah! I'll be cheering Coby. So Claire should be here to cheer you up." She smiled but it seems like... force?

Oh well, I nodded and went back sitting. I heard them breathed deeply. What are they hiding from me?

Cheer up... hearing her voice is enough. I hope.

"Can I join your mission tomorrow?" I heard Stella asked Lucas sweetly. She's sitting next to Lucas.

I hope Lucas can handle her bipolar attitude. He will have a great time dealing with her sudden behavioral changes.

"No Stella, you can't. It is dangerous." Lucas said.

"Please... I can handle it." She gave her puppy eyes.

Lucas seems to be hesitant but she lifted her and make her sit on his lap. "Stella... even if you are Uno. You are still my girl and I can't handle seeing you there or I'll lose my concentration. I can't work properly just thinking of your safety. Please understand." He explained in a very soothing voice. He is afraid that Uno might come out.

Stella nodded in understanding "Take care okay?"

"I will, we will still have to get married." He holds her hand.

I can't handle looking at them anymore so I focus myself on the table. Just enough the foods are already well prepared.

Good. I can't handle watching these lovebirds around me without Claire.

Claire... how are you? I hope you're safe and fine.
