The Dark Side Of Fate

Chapter 351

~Liam~

The siren’s blare rudely shattered a significant moment for me, leaving me grappling with the urge to utter curses. As we reluctantly emerged from the water and hastily dressed, I couldn’t help but feel that the interruption had robbed us of what could have been a magical kiss with Josephine. I stole a few glances at her, trying to gauge her feelings, but her face remained stoic, revealing nothing.

I longed to linger in the water with Josephine, as she fit perfectly in my arms, and everything felt right when we were together. Inhaling her scent, I couldn’t help but be captivated by her sheer beauty, knowing deep down that she was meant to be mine. The way she responded to me was simply enchanting, reinforcing the belief that we were destined to be together.

Josephine adored the surprise I had prepared for her. I had worried that she might not appreciate the simplicity of a food truck or the location I chose, but it turned out we shared more in common than I had realised.

The experience was both unique and thrilling, and I can’t help but hope that we’ll get the chance to do it again soon, perhaps even fulfilling what we started.

Being with Josephine promises to be truly wonderful, and after our time in the water, I’m finding it difficult to hold back my feelings, but I intend to give her time.

“What’s happening outside?” Josephine inquired, pulling me back to reality as we neared the gate. I decided to approach the guard for answers.

“Excuse me, sir, what’s happening out there?” I asked, and he bowed his head respectfully.

“There was an explosion involving a van on Sam Street just around the corner, which resulted in a house catching fire,” he explained. Hearing this, I instinctively rushed towards the gate.

“Liam!” Josephine called after me, and I slowed down to wait for her.

“What’s wrong?” she asked with concern.

“My grandparents’ house is on that street,” I replied, and her expression turned to shock.

“Are they in Grizlo?” she inquired, and I wasn’t sure, but I knew I had to find out.

I dialed my grandmother’s number, patiently waiting for her to answer. She finally answered and the tranquil background noise on her end brought a sense of calm to my mind.

“Grandma, are you in Grizlo?” I inquired.

“No, darling. We’re coming tomorrow. We sent the housekeeper ahead to prepare things, so it might seem like we’re home. We’ll be there tomorrow,” she responded. It was evident they were unaware of the situation unfolding.
