When the sun was about to set for the evening, Lord Raiden was back at his house contemplating on how he should make Jeremy bitter and suffer once and for all. Valeria was outside hunting for more humans, so he planned on telling her after she came home.
Lord Raiden: He thought to himself. I thought he joined his parents in death! How is he still alive?
Lord Raiden: On the inside. If I can't kill him, I know a way he could live in misery forever...
In the meantime, Valeria finally came home but not alone. She had prepared a meal for him.
Valeria: I'm home, my lord.
Valeria: I brought you some food...In case you get hungry.
A pregnant woman with ginger hair tied in a bun and long, pale green dress walked inside their home looking confused. She had been tricked by Valeria when she thought she was going to be led to a hospital to give birth.
Lord Raiden: How sweet and considerate of you, Valeria...
They both got close to the pregnant woman and slowly bit into her flesh. Valeria was holding her left hand and Lord Raiden was holding her right hand. The pregnant woman was unable to let herself go and she got weaker as the seconds tick by. Finally, she was lying face down on the ground dead.
Lord Raiden: You've brought many stupid humans home for us to feed on...but never one like her.
Lord Raiden: How did you manage to do it, my lovely servant?
Valeria: It was too easy...She really thought I was going to take her to the hospital.
Valeria: But I decided nothing is sweeter than taking a stranger home with you.
Lord Raiden: Clever woman you are...
3 weeks later, Angela was sitting alone in another room adjacent to the living room of Jeremy's house. She was receiving a call from an unknown number, but she decided to answer anyway.
Angela: She answered. Hello, this is Angela Spears...Who is calling?
A young man with black hair, tanned skin, and blue eyes was on the other line of the phone. His name was Ivan and he needed help with tutoring in English as well.
Ivan: Hi, Miss. My name is Ivan. I need someone to help me with English...
Ivan: Are you available to tutor me?
Angela: I'm currently tutoring someone...But I should be ready to tutor you shortly after.
Ivan: Sounds cool. Do you think you can tutor me at your house?
Angela: Umm sure...I don't see why not.
Jeremy was in the other room hearing her conversation on the phone. He looked very sad knowing that the only special person to him is going to be gone from his life really soon. That night, when Angela was supposed to be going to sleep, she thought about making her choice of staying in the house or continuing to do her job.
Angela: She thought. I would like to stay longer...But my job is too important.
Angela: On the inside. There are dozens of other people needing me to be their tutor.
The next morning, she already had her bags packed and she was about to leave, standing in front of the door. Lisa and Jeremy were both there to greet her a goodbye.
Angela: I hate to say this, but I must go...
Angela: Nevertheless, it was a good experience being your tutor, Jeremy. I hope you keep up the good work.
Jeremy: He couldn't say anything since no words slipped from his mouth. All he could do was stand there and look very sad watching her go.
Lisa: Wish you all the best, Angela. It was nice having you here.
Angela: You both take care while I'm gone.
Angela walked outside carrying her luggage waiting for the taxi to arrive and she looked sad as well knowing she can't spend the time with Jeremy forever, even though he confessed to her. She knows moments like this are too good to be true and they almost never last.
Angela: She thought to herself. I love him...But we are worlds apart...
The following day after, Angela was ready to tutor Ivan for English. They were both sitting inside the kitchen of her small house and first chatting random facts about themselves.
Angela: Why did you say you want me to tutor you at my house?
Ivan: My family is too loud. It'll be difficult for me to concentrate.
Angela: Oh, that's why. Would you like to get started now, Ivan?
Ivan: Yes, Miss Spears. I'd like to start now...
Back at Jeremy's house, he felt so lost and depressed because Angela had to leave realizing her duty as a tutor and his mind flashed back to the many bittersweet memories he shared with her.
Jeremy: On the inside. I miss you...I need you so bad.
The housekeeper came over to comfort him. She sat down next to him on the sofa.
Lisa: Jeremy, I know you miss Angela...But sometimes not everyone you meet is meant to stay in your life.
Jeremy: I wish she didn't have to go...I feel lonely without her.
Lisa: I can tell she had a positive influence on you...I get that it's a lot to take in.
Lisa: But you must remember, there are plenty of other women you'll meet. Not just her.
Nighttime was one lonely experience for Jeremy and Angela. Jeremy couldn't stop wondering about whether Angela would be safe on her own since there wasn't much he could do to keep her out of trouble. He felt empty deep down because he was lost without her. He imagined her sleeping right beside him on his bed, but once he blinked his eyes again, he knew she wasn't there and it was all an illusion.
Jeremy: On the inside. How are you around me when you're not really here?
Angela couldn't sleep at night either. She laid on her bed and her eyes were wide open still.
Angela: On the inside. Why am I still thinking about him? I'll never see him again...
In the evening, Ivan was on his way home and he was walking towards a familiar large mansion. He went inside and headed towards his living room where Valeria was resting on the couch.
Valeria: So, how did the tutoring session go with Angela, Ivan?
He turned back into his true form and his appearance completely changed into that of Lord Raiden. Apparently, "Ivan" was just Lord Raiden in disguise and this was the first step of his plan to separate Angela and Jeremy. The next step will be even more sinister.
Lord Raiden: Oh, Valeria...You know it's me, your master.
Lord Raiden: That woman is so naive...She totally fell for my trick.
Valeria: I already know where this is heading. We can confront her together, won't we?
Lord Raiden: She won't see for what we truly are, until it's too late.
