Moses gently dropped Louis on the bed and Hailey immediately covered her with a blanket.
Laid on the bed, she stirred turning to the window side and watching the morning view.
"Moses, let's go," Hailey said whispering to Moses as they walked out of the room to his walk-in closet, the light automatically switched on, and just as he was about to look at the mirror, Hailey held his arm stopping him.
"Don't you know you shouldn't have carried her? Even though I thought you wouldn't, yet you disappointed me by still doing so, she was stained, you should know how the stain of a woman can affect you."
"She was the only one who had remembered," Moses said curtly as Hailey had an unbelievable frown on her face then he turned to her.
"Every woman I had encountered couldn't remember a thing about my appearance, yet they all got thrown out of my company because they could remember everything, but, Nanny Hailey, even before I got her sacked from the company, even with the plan I had orchestrated to make it convincing, she remembered everything, she had known who I was."
"Are you serious? That, that cannot be possible, what about the ritual, I'm sure you were able to complete it, right?"
"Nanny Hailey, for this month, I didn't receive an extra lifespan."
"What, what are you saying?"
"When I was done saving her, the fire which was supposed to be lit diminished, both the fire in the office and fire circle."
"But, but, no, no, no, that cannot be possible. You'll be alright right?"
"I don't know, Nanny Hailey, it doesn't give a matter if I get to see her blood or not, bringing her here was to be able to see the truth, I want to know if she's truly what I'm thinking or she is another creature, a nemesis who I need to destroy." He said and then he lifted his head as he looked at the mirror.

"There was a reason why I thought Louis was in danger, I don't know why but I get this feeling she needs our help, Becky," Mike stated as his concentration was divided between the road and Becky who sat on the passenger's seat.
"I know, I also feel as though she's in trouble, what about your lawyer, when are you getting feedback?"
"This week."
"When Louis came back, everything would be back to normal, even my tiny obsession would fade away."
"You don't have to say it."
"I know, you're disturbed by my confession, I wouldn't force you to like me back, if I could keep our relationship as friends for a long time then I'm not tired of keeping it normal once again. Besides, I can't bring a confession when you're troubled, I'm sorry, I'm sorry I disturbed you with this," Mike stayed silent for a while, he dropped Becky in front of her mother's house.
Becky waved at him getting down from the car as he replied with a small smile and then he drove away.
As Mike looked at the road, his thoughts were on Becky, since the day they made out, his mind couldn't concentrate, he didn't want to make his and Louis' relationship a cheated one.
Right now, Louis was in a difficult place, and so was he, their relationship tested but he wasn't willing to give up.
He sighed with a mind of encouragement, he was going to do all for Louis even if it meant fighting the devil for her.

Louis couldn't get her eyes shut, heaving a deep breath, she walked to the bathroom, packaging herself, she wore her cloth, she was about to move out of the room but the door opened.
"Oh," she said with pursued lips seeing who was at the door.
"Are you okay, now?" Louis nodded.
"Why are you here?" Louis asked.
"I thought I come to see how your condition is."
"You're being nice to me, why?"
"Do you really think I'll be nice without a particular reason?"
"Yeah, seeing your nice behavior, it gives me the creep you want something else," Louis revealed as the face of a concerned look transformed into a mischievous one.
"You're smart after all, a help without an exchange? I've seen you've gotten some sense, besides, I came here since I think you've gotten your heart into Moses' heart."
Louis nearly choked hearing his word.
"Did you peradventure take alcohol today and now you're blabbering incorrect words?"
"What? Do you think I'm lying? Moses literally had never held the hand of another woman coming to say carrying an individual."
"Are you serious about it? Is it that worst? Why could you accuse your brother so much."
Kelvin scoffed seeing the way she was behaving innocently and then he took cold steps toward her.
"You've seen him strangle me, haven't you seen the devil? What makes you think the heart of the devil can change into the heart of an angel? You don't know who my brother is, you're receiving good images of him doesn't make him an angel, the devil collects in return for his gratitude. It doesn't mean you've seen his book clearly, in his case, I advise you look at the cover and not the book."
"What are you trying to get by saying this?"
"You get me so well, I thought we might change the content of the book than changing the cover of the book. I don't have plans on changing the already made cover."
"What?"
She asked with a questionable face as Kelvin looked to the side, how could he explain, when he got an idea, he clicked his tongue with a smile on his face, a devilishly one.
"Continue with your mischievous ways, make my brother believe you're a helpless person with clumsy ways. Maybe then, we could use it to get out of this house, that's if you're still making a deal to get out of this plan, right?"
"No, no, no, I don't want to go anywhere."
"It seems he's placed the mind of fear in you, why do you think I'm here, continue with your clumsy ways and then, you could get out of here, and probably right your wrongs." He said with a callous smile.
