The mont he left, Zosia's eyes flickered open.
She stared at the door Kent just left through, her eyes held unknown emotions.
'Does Kent really like Mirabel? I really need to speed up on my task.' she thought Inwardly.
At least she was done with one of her tasks, the rest—she had to snowball it.
Lowering her eyelids, she continued to sleep while also trying to absorb qi to open so routes before she uses the stream water.
Since her world upgraded, she hadn't used the stream water which was now a spring.
It wouldn't be bad to try it with her current body, but that would be for later. She needed to recharge.
As she lay there, Zosia's mind raced with thoughts of Kent and Mirabel, her eyes gleaming with a hint of determination. She knew she had to accelerate her plans, but for now, she needed to conserve her energy. With a quiet sigh, she focused on absorbing the qi around her, feeling the subtle energies coursing through her body, despite how fast they disspasiated.
As she recharged, Zosia's thoughts drifted back to Kent. She couldn't help but wonder if he truly had feelings for Mirabel, or if it was just a ruse. Her eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of a plan forming in her mind. She was not sure if she should keep such a ti bomb close or ignore it, rather still, destroy it.
"Aish, that tendency is here again. Damn! I got to learn how to control it." She smacked her head.
Turning over to the other side, she settled herself in a more comfortable position.
"Will think about all this later. My sleep cos first." She murmured and drifted off to sleep. Unaware of the ruckus being caused downstairs.
=============
Downstairs.....
After Zosia had taken Kent with her, Ariana eyes turned cold. Her stare on Kent's mom was chilling.
"Why... Are you staring at like that?" She asked with an awkward laugh.
"Juliana, you and I know, that you have been putting on a facade. Tell , how did you find and why?"
"Ariana what do you an?"
Ariana did not respond but kept staring at Juliana, enough for her to have goosebumps.
The air in the room heated up.
"Juliana, let remind you, you snatched by boyfriend away from him and had Kent with him and you even had the guts, the effontery, to send a wedding invitation card.
You didn't even tell you were coming and suddenly you are here, right at my doorstep."
"It's not what you think."
"Ooh, then tell , what should I think?" Ariana asked, her voice laced in mockery.
"It was an accident. It just happened."
"Ooh, three tis a week is an accident or five rounds is an accident.
Juliana, you and Crawford had the guts to send a sex scene. Just tell what you want?" Ariana asked, right now, she didn't even care about the leeway again.
She was tired of keeping up appearances.
Juliana's face turned pale as she realized that she had underestimated the situation, thinking she could just waltz in and pretend everything was fine. But Ariana's words cut deep, exposing the truth Juliana had tried to hide.
"Please, Ariana, listen to ," Juliana pleaded, her voice shaking. "It was a mistake, a mont of weakness. I was lonely, and Crawford was there... It didn't an anything."
Ariana's words was cold and mirthless. " Yeah Yeah.... accident, blah blah blah" she waved her hand dismissively like she was shooing an ant.
Juliana's eyes held unhidden anger and hatred, if not for what made her co here, she wouldn't even bother. Who would want to act submissivly to soone who you think you are better than or jealous of.
Yes, she had always been jealous of Ariana. Even getting Crawford was part of her plan to break Ariana. She had heard that heart break was the must painful. She had also felt it.
At first Crawford was a tool to her but she ended up falling for him, to the extent she got pregnant with Kent. She was unwilling to do an abortion and wanted to use the baby to tie down Crawford.
Till today, anyti she rembers it, it was the most humiliating part of her life. Since Crawford left, she directed her hatred to Kent. If not for the fact that she had only given birth to girls, she would have long forgotten that she has a son.
"Juliana, I don't really care about all those. At least I have Kael."
"You an, had?"
"Huh?" Ariana asked with a confused look.
"You once had Kael. Kael doesn't belong to you now."
Kent happened to be coming down and heard the news. Standing rooted in his spot, a whirlwind of thoughts followed.
"Oh wow, news sure does circulate fast."
"Tsk ... There is no need to act all haughty and mighty. You are already divorced. I just need your help for a small favor.
"Let's hear it."
"Help My husband's company."
Ariana looked at Juliana with incredulity in her eyes.
"Here out first." Juliana said, trying to act convincingly.
"If you supporty husband, it can get big enough to fight for so things for you, like Kael's company.
Ariana laughed out loud. Feeling that her first laughter wasn't enough, she continued.
"Wait, you an Atler's company?" Ariana asked.
Seeing her nod her head, she scoffed with mirth in her tone, "More like Anthlers.."
Juliana turned red with rage and embarrassnt. "You!!" She stood up. Disbelief coloring her face as she pointed at Ariana.
"Just you wait. You think you can stand on that high horse of yours for long. Just watch how it plays and you loose of everything."
Ariana frowned at her words, " Whether I would loose or not, it's not up to you." She refuted.
"Kent!!" She scread. Her voice reverberating through the walls. The sound made people wince and their eyelids twitch.
They all had one thought, "What a shrew!"
"You never change Juliana. Still as shrewish as always."
Ariana's remark touched a nerve. Juliana was shaking in anger as she kept pointing at Ariana.
It was just self will that allowed her to hold herself and the fear of sha. Ariana could tell that one more word from her would tip Juliana like an erupting Volcano. She definitely didn't want to see such a sight.
Kent imdiately ca down. He could see how Juliana was, he knew if he wasted a second more, she would end up disgracing herself as well as him too. It wasn't sothing he wanted Mirabel's mother to see. It wouldn't look good when the original owner and Mirabel starts dating.
As for if the would date, that depends on fate? Maybe not fate. Maybe a force.
Walking up to Juliana, he held her arms and literally dragged her out of the house. The mont they arrived outside, his face was swung to the other way by an unsuccpecting slap.
He turned to look at the culprit. Licking the blood trickling from his lips, he realize that she had slapped him hard. Staring at the culprit who was looking at him without remorse, his eyes flickered.
"Don't you dare touch you filthy brat." She warned. Turning on her heels, she walked away, not even waiting for Kent. Entering her car, she had the driver go back without also waiting for Kent.
Kent stared at the departing vehicle, a ruthless look surfacing in his eyes. Forcefully wiping away whatever was left on his lips, he prepared to start trecking, when a car pulled up to him.
He thought it was that of the wicked woman but seeing who it was, he was pleasantly surprised.
"Where are you going?" Uncle Kenny asked.
"Sir you don't have to worry about ."
"I am asking cos I am also going to where you are going."
Kent smiled, "Thanks Uncle." He opened the front door and entered the car.
==============
Zosia opened her eyes, still feeling weak from the sleep, she slowly sat up. Using her hands to support herself, she leaned on the head board.
Closing her eyes, she shook her head to shake away the remaining sleep.
'It's ti to check Kael's phone. Chip should be done arranging the information.' she thought.
The panel appeared before followed by rows and rows of information.
Feeling overwheld by the nurous data text, she had the chip transfer it to her mind.
Closing her eyes, she leaned against the head board. By the ti the information transfer was done, she was feeling dizzy.
Letting out an audible sigh, she started summarizing the information.
The first part revealed that Kael was once part of an organization, as for how or what it was, she only had an inkling.
The organization was called dawn and they liked doing human experints as well as training monstrosity. They were an evil organization filled with Madn.
Her curiosity was ignited, 'How was Kael part of this organization?'
She continued reading, the more she read, the more shocked she was.
At first, she felt it was okay, since most business n had contacts with the underworld but Kael was dealing with them.
If that wasn't enough, she confird her guess. Ariana was nothing but a substitute among many other substitutes, but she was the only one who looked so alike with Keira.
Her eyes blazed with fury. 'Such a scumbag.'
The next thing she saw almost broke her.
Kael's lover was in forced coma, this was done by the Dawn organization as she had escaped and being their most valuable specin, she had been given a drug that once she was out of the organization, she would be in an induced Coma. As for how long before it's effected or how long the coma will last, no one except the organization themselves that would know.
Kael wants to save her and the only way, was to either look for Keira's child which according to the information, exists. Or to exchange Mirabel or Lucy for his lover to awaken.
"What a bastard father!" She cursed. She could feel the heart ache and hatred arising from the original owner's emotions.
Zosia wanted to soothe the emotions, but she rembered that, if she was the one, how would she react. Besides, she couldn't even stay for long, If she could, then soothing the emotions will be what she would do.
Closing her eyes, she sighed. "It's so ssed up."
The door creaked open, revealing a pair of eyes.
