"She really is in love me. What about max? What’s her feeling towards him?"

[ 92 ]

"Fuck! She really is obsessed with him. But that’s what makes it interesting. I can’t wait to break her bit by bit, till she only loves me. The very thought of turning her protagonist makes me tingle in joy."

"Honey where are you going, exactly?"

She asked, now that her emotions were stable than before she spoke in much polite tone.

Lucien didn’t respond and kept walking ahead. Soon they reached an room in the furthest corner of the mansion.

The door was covered in dust. Clearly not opened for very long time.

It was exceptionally big even for the mansion. Multiple bookshelves, tables and luxurious items filled the room.

It was Luciens office when he used to live here.

The main table still had the desktop setup he used to work. However, it was not guranteed whether it would work or not.

Lucien wiped of the dust on the screen and table.

"What exactly are you doing? If you want to use a computer, you can use mine. We don’t even know if this will work or not."

"What I want to show you is something only present inside this."

After cleaning the desktop, he boot it up. Thankfully, it was an expensive, so the built quality was far superior to others.

"Come here. Stand beside me."

Lucien sat on the main chair and asked her to stand beside him. Hannah approached him and looked into the screen.

What Lucien had opened was a camera recordings. It was pretty normal for mansions like there to have cameras all over the house. But this was not a normal camera recording but rather a hidden camera, that Lucien had implanted.

"You remember when we faught, I blamed Max for intentionally destroying my thing?"

"Yes, of course. I remember it."

"Well than you must remember that when I brought you next day to show you the camera recording. Somehow magically, more than 1 week of data had completely vanishee from the recordings right?"

"Yes, we were never able to recover it. But what has that to do this? Don’t tell me you are still blaming him?"

"I wish I could say that it was just a misunderstanding. But do you remember, that I planted many hidden cameras in my office, right? Some of them that even you didn’t know about. Thankfully, I was like that and planted those cameras otherwise I would have never been able to prove this to you."

He opened the recording of the same day of the incident from the hidden camera recordings and turned it towards Hannah.

The video showed the same room as they were present on right now. Except it was very clean and neatly organized.

Then, a soft click from the door. The door of the room opened, and an child that looked no more than 12 years old walked inside the room. It was none other than the beloved child of the couple, the protagonist of the original story, Maxwell Novtivar.

He had slightly bigger built compared to the other children of his age. But the most exceptional thing about him was his expression.

He looked like he was in hurry, angry and panicked. He frantically started to look around the room, as if searching for something. Every paper, every book, every shelf, he searched all of them thoroughly. Even after searching every where and not finding what he came for, he started to kick the tables and desk in anger.

While kicked one of the shelf. The books parted from the top and an black box no more than the size of a fist fell from it.

Max’s angry expression was immediately replaced with undeniable joy. He hurriedly picked it up and opened the box. What was inside the box was an small capsule type glass container that was filled with some kind of dark greenish liquid.

Max bounced in joy as he took out the capsule from the box. He observed it carefully to make sure it was the real thing before he murmured something to himself.

What came after that turned Hannahs expression extremely pale.

Max three the capsule on the floor with all his might. Shattering the glass and spilling the green liquid on the floor. The video continued with Max deleting the camera footages with an franatic smile on his face. It was only after that, the door burst open and Lucien walked inside.

After that Hannah remembered everything from her own eyes.

"Do you know what was inside the capsule?"

Hannahs face which was extremely pale and terrified turned towards Lucien. Expecting him to continue

"It had the medicine to heal my condition."
