I’m Someone Else

Olivia burst into laughter, and Thomas looked at her silently. Broken bones take a long time to heal. Even though her bones are healed now, she still has to rest for a while longer.

Eventually, Olivia stopped laughing and proudly said, “Then you’re going to work for me. I’m going to fatten you up, just you see.”

“Sure.”

Olivia stopped talking, though she thought better of Thomas now. He was gentle, and she felt safe enough with him. Moreover, he had a sense of humor too. Not many men out there had these qualities. Even though she had never dated anyone, she could still see that Thomas was a rare one.

Thomas left the villa in the evening and went to Pontius’ house again, but like before, no one showed up no matter how long he waited. Thomas sat in his car, frowning. What’s going on? He checked out the houses of the other four, and no one was there either. They shouldn’t have found me out, which leaves one explanation. They’re scared. Scared that they might die like their brothers, so they’re hiding. Sh*t. This is a big city. If they’re hiding, where can I even find them? He lit a cigarette and went back to the villa, smoking in his car.

He couldn’t go back to his own home, or Olivia would be left alone at the villa. If he hadn’t made it in time previously, Olivia would have been dead, and he wouldn’t have had any idea that the Xalmars were behind it. Thomas didn’t want something dangerous like this to happen again, so he stayed with Olivia.

the villa, he saw her sleeping on the couch, and he sighed. What is she doing? She has a big bed, and yet she’s sleeping on the couch? And without a blanket too. If I let her sleep out here all night, she’s going to catch a cold. He gently picked her up and placed her on the bed, then he tucked her in and tiptoed out of the room. Thomas then went into one of the guest rooms

only six months were left before Olivia would be sacrificed to a certain mysterious figure. I must protect her when that happens, but I’m just one man. Perhaps I should start my preparations now. The six families are involved in this. If Olivia refuses to be sacrificed, all the families will be destroyed. They’ll do anything to take her from me. Her family’s too much of a coward to stop them. I want to, but I

had to sleep and take bathroom breaks and go out for some business. Chloe had just recovered too, and he missed her. In a way, she was his sister. He was only with Olivia because there was no one out there trying to harm Chloe, but he had to visit her from time to time. Damn it, I’m stretched too thin.

and he snored loudly. He was exhausted. This was the first good sleep he had ever since he came back to the city. Of course, part of that was because he hadn’t slept a wink the night

themselves professional killers? Useless, the lot of them!” Blake was going mad with rage. His sources told him that, despite his disbelief, Thomas was alive. If you can’t do it, then don’t brag! You went all in with explosions and sniper rifles, but that b*stard still lives! What the hell are you doing? This is a waste of my money! I’m not going to hire any more killers for this.
