Serah went towards the meeting hall to inform Ella that Adam was about to leave. As soon as she reached there, she saw Ella rushing out. "they're about to leave, he's been searching for you" Serah informed Ella who quickly ran out through the exit. Ella halted and Serah saw the awkward moment between her and the unknown man. Wearing a brown fitted suit with embroidery designs on it. "Samuel!" She saw her younger brother running in Ella's direction. They hugged each other and started conversing.
She smiled and wished in her mind for her brother to be safe and happy. "We have to leave so that we can make it to Coten before nighttime," Thomas said with a smile. "Ok, Adam, I didn't know that you will leave today so I didn't prepare any gift for you" She sadly looked at Adam. "Is ok, just come and visit me, Please 🙏. He pouted his lips. She and Thomas chuckled. And Serah couldn't help but smile as she stood on the sideline watching them.
Thomas exchanged numbers with Ella in case she plans to visit, they shook hands and Serah saw the tattoo of Aries ♈ on his wrists. She kept on staring at it, she knew that she saw it somewhere but when was that? Thomas and Adam said their goodbyes as they headed toward their ride. Then everything that happened that night flooded into her mind.
That night Alice and Mrs. Boyle were the ones cooking whilst the father and son were watching TV, Serah was busy preparing her lesson plan.
They heard a knock on their door, and everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the door. Serah heaved a deep sigh before going to open the door. "Who could be visiting us at this hour?" Mrs.Boyle asked her husband. Mr. Boyle shrugged his shoulders and looked towards the door. Serah opened the door and was surprised to see Thomas.
"Hi! May I come in?" he smiled at Serah as he raised the small shopping bag 🛍️ in his hand. "Please come in" she shifted and he walked in before she closed the door. The whole family was surprised to see him. "I know, I was supposed to be in Coten but something came up in the factory." He informed the whole family. "you don't have to explain or look nervous, we were just surprised to see you" Mr. Boyle smiled at him.
"Something isn't right about this visit," Serah said with a serious look on her face. "What do you mean?" Mrs. Boyle asked with a puzzled look. "I'm talking about Thomas's visit" Serah looked at Thomas who was in deep thought" I still don't get you?" Mrs. Boyle asked again. While Thomas's heart was beating faster out of nervousness. "He is here to see his beautiful fiancee" Serah smiled sheepishly. Her mother rolled her eyes whilst Mr.Boyle and Adam laughed, Alice turned red and ran back to the kitchen. Thomas breathes out a sigh of relief.
He gave Mrs. Boyle the shopping bag he brought and sat on the couch next to Mr.Boyle and they started chatting about sports while Alice and Mrs.Boyle arrange the table and set down the dinner plates. "Dinner is ready!" Mrs.Boyle announced to the rest. everyone took their seats. Thomas sat next to Alice. Serah uses the opportunity to tease them, making Alice red again. Mrs. Boyle brought out the wine and served it to the adults while Adam was given the apple juice Thomas brought. Serah was happy that her sister got a gentleman.
Thomas's phone started ringing. He picked it up, and they saw how sad he looked. He sighed. "I will be there in five mins." he cut the call and saw that all of them were looking at him. "I have to go back to the factory, one of our machines is having a problem, am sorry that I'll have to leave without eating your delicious cooking, Aunty." He looked at her apologetically. They just opened a new branch in MARYLUCAS but things weren't going smoothly for them, he stood up to leave. Mr.Boyle asked Alice to escort him whilst Serah winked at her making the latter red again.
They both walked out of the house, he said his goodbyes and kissed Alice on the cheek before leaving.
Alice and Mrs. Boyle dragged their feet through the kitchen as they were both feeling sleepy. Serah wasn't left out, she dumped her lesson plan book, on the credenza, and went to lie down. Mr.Boyle and Adam have already gone to bed. They were done clearing hearing glass shattering and her Father's voice. She woke Alice up and ran to the living room where everything took place.
Serah! Serah!!, she looked at Ella, who was glancing at her with concern. "Are you okay?" She asked her softly. "Adam, where is Adam?" Serah was panicking she looked at where the car was before they left. "Where are they!" she shouted at Ella and Ella flinched. Seeing the shocked expression on Ella's face she calmed down a little. "Is Thomas, he was the one who came to have dinner with us" Serah looked terrified. Ella gasped realizing that they have sent Adam with the person that wants to kill him.
"Let's go and talk to Trent" They both ran back to the building, Ella ran into the meeting hall, and Trent wasn't there, she ran into his office, their office and there was no sign of Trent. she met with Serah in the hallways, who shook her head indicating that she didn't find Trent. Ella kept looking around until she bumped into Chen.
"Chen am glad I found you" Ella's face brightened. "Ok," he said with a confused look on his face. "I'm looking for Trent" "You can't find him, he left an hour ago" Ella was shocked, she was outside with Serah, how did he leave without them knowing? "Woah! A ghost" Chen pointed at Serah. "What" Ella's eyes widened. "There is a ghost behind you, She's fluctuating" Chen was surprised. They were standing in the middle of the hallway. Not only Chen but a lot of people were pointing at Serah.
"I can't find Trent" Serah looked worried. "Ella she just spoke to you" Chen whispered to her. "Serah, I need you to calm down, your being scared isn't helping, people can see you." the murmuring increased."Let's go to our office before someone tries to exorcise her." Chen dragged Ella and Serah followed behind.
Mr.Ford and Micheal we're stupified when Ella finishes narrating everything that happened. "How can someone be that evil" Mr.Ford clenched his fist. "I need all of you to help. The sacrifice will be continued in the Boyle family house." Ella said and the rest nodded. "Why can't you inform the upper-rank officers?" Serah asked. "Because we believe that someone or some people with higher positions are involved," Micheal answered Serah.
"It makes sense now, how Markle was able to get away with his lies." Mr.Ford was so angry he wanted to punch someone. "Markle, we have to find him" Ella blurted out, and the rest of them had different ideas. "Here is a plan I came up with. Serah I need you to be calm, you have to look for Trent or Thomas, whoever you find will be helpful" Chen informed her. "Ok, I will do it for Adam" She sighed she was about to leave when Chen's voice stopped her.
"One more thing avoid being seen by anyone" She nodded her head before leaving. "Mr.Ford, You and Micheal should go to MARYLUCAS LORCH and keep an eye on the house, inform us as soon as they arrive" "Rodger" Mr. Ford replied.
Micheal and Mr. Ford carried their jackets and left. "Samuel, go and get a truth serum from Brian, and also buy a sexy girl's outfit" he smiled at her but his smile died down when Ella looked normal and wasn't surprised. "How long did you know that I know?" Chen asked. "The day I found out that you are a werewolf," Ella said and he nodded his head with a smile.
"Fine, you go and do that, and I will find information on Markle. After that, they both left the office.
MARYLUCAS LORCH.
Trent was sitting in a small and simple-looking living room and was sipping hot coffee. He kept looking out the window when a woman in her forties dropped a plate of cookies on the table in front of him.
Thanks for the cookies, Gladys" he smiled at the woman who smiled back at him. "You don't need to Thank me Mr.Samson" the Woman sat on a chair facing Trent. Trent visited the woman with a fake alias, he told her he was Mr.Boyle's lawyer. "Tell me about the man that shows up every day. your
cookies are delicious Gladys." He smiled as he munched on the cookies.
In a small motel room, Adam was in a deep sleep, while Thomas and a muscular-looking man were playing cards and drinking. Someone knocked on the door and a young skinny man sitting on a chair next to Adam's bed stood up and opened the door. "Welcome, Gerard '' he greeted the man with sterling gray eyes wearing a brown fitted suit with embroidery designs on it.
