Your eyes bore toward the rectangular screen of your laptop, a hand on top of the mouse connected through it as the cursor hovers on the screen.

The sun fully took over the darkness of the night, and rays of the morning sunlight shined through your windows. A teacup was right next to your laptop while a blanket was draped over your figure, providing you warmth.

Perhaps even you couldn't keep your promises to yourself. You've broken the one you made years ago just because a new lead appeared where you were least expecting.

You were starting to think it's the case haunting you to find out what really- or maybe you were just sleep-deprived lately. But then again, Zandik confessed to his crimes years ago.

However, was that the truth?

An exhausted groan escapes from your lips. You pushed your hands on the edge of the table before you stood up and stretched your limbs.

While you were stretching, your bedroom door burst open, revealing your cousin with a mix of emotions forming on his face. "Y/n!"

You turn to him confused. "What's wrong?"

"Alhaitham- he's back- he's outside." He panted heavily. Thank the archons you weren't holding anything right now. If you were, you would've dropped it by now.

Without questioning the blond if he was messing with you or not, you've already made your way outside in a rush, nearly stumbling upon Kaveh. There was no time for questions.

And just like 4 years ago, the sudden rush of adrenaline gave you the energy to run through the hallways, doors, and stairs of the estate.

The front door was flung open by you. You were sure you would receive a lecture not to do that from Cedric or a relative who saw your actions.

You halt, eyebrows knitting. You felt a crack in your heart as it fell down to the pits of your stomach.


'What..?'


You felt like your world was crashing down once again.

Your eyes widened in disbelief. "Alhaitham..?" He was here, except, a woman was clinging onto his arm. You recognized who she was. It was Yume.
