I’m Someone Else

Chapter 114

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.

When he arrived at 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 and tried to sleep, but he couldn’t. He tossed and turned all night.

According to Quincy, 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 can’t guarantee a perfect rescue, and I’m alone.

He couldn’t stay with Olivia all the time. He 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. Ugh, do I really have to ask for a favor from them? I really don’t want to drag them into this unless absolutely necessary.

Eventually, Thomas drifted to sleep, 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 before.

Blake was in the Hind Residence, enraged. Everything he could get his hands on in the house was smashed to pieces, and his brother stood beside him, quiet and unmoving. If he did anything that got his brother’s attention, he might take his anger out on him. I wouldn’t want that to happen. Jake might be the head of the family, but the real pillar of the household was Blake, and everyone in the upper society knew that.

“They call 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. They’re nothing but scammers.

Eventually, Jake couldn’t take it anymore, so he muttered, “What now, Blake?”

Blake didn’t answer. He was still seething and fuming. Jake found himself in an awkward situation, and he stopped talking.

More than half an hour later, Blake’s fury finally subsided, and only then did he speak. “Where is he right now? Where is Thomas?” Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

“Northpine Villa.” Jake couldn’t believe that Thomas was alive. He saw the news and how deadly that explosion was. And yet he still lives?

“Do you know the specific address?”

Jake quickly handed Blake some files. Blake went through it, and he looked horrified. “Olivia had a falling out with her family and moved out?” That girl is a fool, and she’s living with Thomas now? Does she have any idea of the responsibility she’s carrying? If she loses her virginity… Heh, guess the Pearsons are gonna die.

“Our spies came back with this. The news is true.”

Blake roared in laughter, but it was a dark and venomous laughter. “Divine providence, I say! Now call Norman. I’m going to have breakfast with him tomorrow.”

“What?” Jake was flabbergasted. We had a falling out with them. We want to destroy them, so why does Blake want to have breakfast with their family head?
