Sold To The Wicked Him

“How can this be? Are you telling me he didn’t came??”

Holding his face, Aiden can’t help but be disappointed with the result. He was tricked. That is what he thought. But even Mira was surprised by what happened.

“Calm down, the event is not done yet. We still have time. Just.. chill out for a bit”

Letting out a deep sigh, Aiden can’t hide the annoyance he was feeling. Just as when he thought that he can finally take revenge on Paul for what he have done, he won’t eat the bait that he prepared for him.

‘I know this wouldn’t be as easy as I thought it would be. But, never did I thought that this one won’t work out’

With people gathering, they are just watching on the sidelines, running their eyes to see each people they can see.

‘It is more than what I expected. But… how come that guy didn’t showed up? Hah, what should I do now it I made this Lazarus be mad?’

Shaking her head, she knew it wouldn’t be good if that happens. After all, she knew too well that when it comes to things regarding Lea, that man beside her changes into someone else. Not the one she saw in the news, not the one she saw in the gatherings, but someone she never thought he would be.

“Madame, that person arrived”

Soon as he heard that very news coming from one of her subordinates, there seems to be a thorn that leaves her throat. Not wanting others to saw the small smile that suddenly crept her lips, she nods her head and look at the man beside him.

“See? I told you to just wait”

She mumbled in assurance. As if just a while ago, she doesn’t feel any fright and worries about what may happen if that man did not shows up.

Paul Marney, someone she knew not because of fame in the field he escels at, but some name she saw in the tons of name that have a connection with a black syndicate that is a threat in their country.

‘Luckily he came, just as I thought, this would be a grand event… a successful one’

Clicking the button she had in her hands, it was a signal for all the people guarding that place to not let a single soul leave the place.

“Mr. Lazarus, aren’t you afraid?”

“Afraid of what?”

“Afraid that I am just fooling you, and in the end I am just here and using you”

There was a chuckle escaping his lips.

“I am here because of my own accord, I let you use me since I am also using you. It is a win win, why would I be afraid of losing?”

Thanks to those informations that he bought, he learn many things. Had enough evidence to throw that man in jail. But is jail really the best place someone like him shall fall into?All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Remembering the gentle smile of his mother, he can’t help but be worried.

‘I am a good kid since the very beginning. Not wanting others to be in harm… but I don’t know why… Ii am not sure about what is happening to me. All I want is to see him fall. To see him disappear. To make him pay for all the things that he did…’

If it is a sin to wish for someone else’s misfortune, for the man whose heart was clenched, it is but a simple thing to wish compared to what happened to him.

“You are right, I am really lucky to make an acquaintance with you, Mr. Lazarus. More than that Brylle, I can say you are worthy of Lea”

The lights turn dim but before Mira can even leave her gaze to Aiden, there was an unexplainable smile she saw. It was… as if he was hurting.

“Worthy? I am afraid I am not…”

‘What is my worth if all I can do in her life was to bring her misfortune?’

And before they can even continue to converse, there was a small commotion happening below. Some people are raising voices as the security won’t let them leave.

‘So it is starting already’

Glaring at numbers of people, may it be man or women, no one can tell whose greater than who.

‘To think people like them are behind embezzlement, slavery, illegal organ seller, drugs, prostitution, and lots more… I didn’t think Mira would be able to caught this many in one go’

Awe and admiration, that is what he can think of Mira. It was something he can never think of. But if it was Lea, he can’t help but feel like there is a possibility she can pull of something like that.

‘Just what kind of person is Lea’s grandfather? He is great if I may say’

A loud bang was then heard. Enough to catch everyone’s attention. There they heard a stern voice of a guard saying.

“No one shall leave this place without permission. Please get back to your designated seat”

‘I wonder how long will this last?’

Looking at Mira, she was fixing her clothes and mic.

“Stars need to shine… and it is my turn”

…

“Sylphia, what the help are you up to?”

Looking at her father, she may be a beloved daughter but she is indeed spoiled since her early childhood.

“I am just visiting a friend”

“A friend you say, what kind of friend is that to may your picky interest be triggered?”

Turning pages after pages of the photo album she had, her father can’t help but wonder what she is up to. He heard of the name Lea Kruie, the wife of Aiden Lazarus. But more than the surname Lazarus, it was the Kruie that made him wonder.

“Let’s just say, it is my conscience making me be this way”

Letting out a deep sigh, the old mad can’t help but put his hands on his face.

“What is her relation with Alejandro?”

“I also wonder”

And there her eyes stops soon as she saw a very picture of her young self.

“She does looks like him…”

“Sylphia, wake yourself up. There is no way he is related to her”

“But father…”

Putting his hands on her shoulder, he let him look at his eyes.

“It wasn’t your fault that he died saving you”

Chuckling as if she heard something unacceptable, her father knew that there is no way she would change her mind

“You still have the results of his report, right? Father?”

“Sylphia, don’t dig on the past”

“Can you help me find out if he is really the father of Lea?”

“Sylphia…”

“Father, I never asked you for something after that incident. All I want is to know if fate is really helping me ease this guilt… please father… just this once. Just like how you let brother marry the one that he loves instead of the one you want for him. I won’t make any ruckus about being engaged. Just… be honest with me on this”

Brushing his face, he knew that there is no hope. What she wants… she always gets.

“Alright, I will let you know once the result came”
