Will I survive? [Moriarty The Patriot | William X OC]

⫷ 12 • The Surprise ⫸

You can see my thirst for William in my accidental published Chapter. Lmao XD

Back to the story!!!!!

****************

"And Jane, we've got a little surprise for you," William stated.

I was mystified by him. Just what in the world is he talking about?

"What surprise?" I questioned.

"You'll see." He replied then glanced at Fred who was standing behind the couch Steve and I are sitting on. Fred nodded and went to get 'the surprise'. Meanwhile, Steve and I were giving each other looks full of confusion. Albert was holding his wine. Louis was calmly standing beside the couch William was sitting at. And Moran didn't budge from his position, still leaning on the sidewall while crossing his arms.

"Don't worry. It's nothing serious at all." William interrupted our thoughts.

Finally, Fred arrived but what made me shocked were his two occupied hands. Steve and I had our eyes wide open at the scene. Is that really not serious?

"W-Who are they?" Steve stammered as he stood up from the shock. I was just speechless, wondering what's going on.

Two unconscious men wearing plain clothes were beaten to a pulp and tied up. Their whole body and face were swollen. Fred dragged them all the way to here.

"They are the spies we encountered as we dropped letters to your houses." William cleared. "He was keeping eyes on both of you." Chills spread through my veins.

I knew! He won't just keep quiet. He was up to something after Noahtic. But never thought he would be this early. I was being careless.

"Since when they were spying on us?" I asked William. His fierce eyes were reading my expression.

"Right after Noahtic, I believe." He stood up to find something on the desk on the other side of the couch we were sitting on. "However, they didn't return to him so he might be preparing for his next step and that's why I called you two in our mansion."

"But what about our families!?" I exclaimed.

"For now, they are safe. His main target is you." He then approached me while holding a letter in his hand. "Here, one of the spies got this for you." I took it. Steve was concerned looking at the letter.

"Can I....read it later?" I was nervous. Not sure what that bastard has to say this time.

"We apologize, but we are already aware of the content in this letter." William didn't hesitate to say that while returning to his seat. I sighed.

"I see. Then I'll read it here." I took a deep breath. Tried to prepare myself for the shivers this letter gonna give. Everyone was silent which made me nervous. Slowly, I opened the letter.

No matter how much you change, you still possess the same aura. The charm that caught me off guard when I first saw you.

I felt disappointed in you. How can my love not recognize me while I, with just one glance knew it was you.

Did you wait for too long, my Lilian? But it's alright. We'll meet very soon.

I crumbled the letter. All I could think is how to make him suffer as much as I did all these years. His love was nothing but a game and I clearly remember how it ended.
