I stare at the letters in disbelief.

What happened to her that made her go crazy? Was she physically tortured in any way? And was she blaming uncle as in her father. Why?

Gemini hugged me from behind and rested his chin on my shoulder.

"Do you think there's a clue?" He asks. Truth is, I don't know.

Probably is.

But even if we figure out what happened. One truth still remains. What happened to her?

"Stop." Gemini takes the notes from my hand.

"Your face is turning pale" I turned to face him after he said that and god, he's beautiful.

The piercing brown eyes stared back at me.

My eyes dropped to lips and then again, his eyes.

Timeskip

I groaned as I got up and checked the time.

4:45 pm

Fuck! It was already afternoon.

I look to my left and his naked back-Which was painted with pretty scratches- was facing me.

I slowly try to get up and fail. My back was hurting as hell but I manage.

After freshening up, I go downstairs to prepare something to eat.

In the meantime, I checked my phone and found a dozen messages from Ohm.

Shit! I completely forgot about him.

I called him and and opened the refrigerator to take out some things.

"Finally! Where the fuck were you?" Ohm's voice came from the other end.

"Sorry I fell asleep..." It was partly true, no?

"Fell asleep? Or had sex?"

"Well, both" I smile knowing that, that annoyed him.

"Whatever! What is written on the notes?" Ohm skipped to the main part without arguing farther.

"I'll show you later. There are many clues. First, the murderer was a woman and second, it has to do something with my uncle. Her father."

"Do you think her mom did that?" Ohm asked and I shake my head as if he can see me

"No...I don't think so. Because in the notes, she addressed the the murderer as "She". Don't you think that if it was her mother, she would've said "mother"?" The explanation was stupid but I couldn't find the right words to explain

"I guess you are right?"

"Hey, I am getting a call from someone. I'll text you later" I hung up the call and stared at the screen.

That "someone" was Phuwin.

"Hello?" My voice trembled for god knows why.

"Hi there, babe" Phuwin replied.

"How have you been? And when are you coming back"

"I'm doing great! And I'm coming back the day after tomorrow. My flight is tomorrow" My heart sank when he said that and I stopped my movements.

I must be fucking crazy. Why am I not happy that he is coming back?

Maybe its all Gemini's fault. The growing feelings I have for him is not good.

Yes, he is a predator that haunts you at night. And his unfortunate prey is me. But the fact that he chose me is painfully growing inside me.

The first time I saw him, cornered in the kitchen in the dead of the night with Phuwin just above us, I knew he wasn't going to let me go anytime soon and that I'd have to obey him in order to keep me, my family, my friends, and Phuwin safe.

But what I hadn't anticipated is that I would feel for him too.

That his dark brown hair, his dark eyes, perfectly sculpted body and ethereal like face would grow on me.

That his over-protectiveness, his cold demeanor, narcissist like behavior, and most importantly, the fact that he chooses me over anything and everything including family, his very serious work would grow on me.

Maybe that's the difference between Phuwin and Gemini.

While Phuwin is attractive, he is nothing compared to Gemini.

While Phuwin is influenced, Gemini is dangerously powerful.

But most importantly, while Phuwin tends to focus on other things rather than me or us, Gemini is the complete opposite.

"Hello?" I snapped out of my thoughts, realizing that I was still on the phone with Phuwin

"That's....great!"

"You don't seem too happy."

"I am. I'm just cooking"

After a few more minutes of talking on the phone, I hung up.

Footsteps echoed behind me and soon, a pair of strong arms wrapped around my waist. Gemini.

"Phuwin is coming back the day after tomorrow." I bluntly say.

"And?"

"You need to go" I put a bit pressure to the word "need"

"No"

I turn around to face him and his hand slips.

"Whatever game we were playing, it has to stop now. What if Phuwin finds out?"

"First off, game? We were playing a game? And we can meet at my mansion. Also, you are breaking up with Phuwin, no?"

"No. He is my boyfriend. You need to go"

"Here's the thing, nerosa. I am not gonna force you break up with him. But, do you want me to go? Do you want me to be completely erased from your life. Can you live with the pain?" His face was serious even tho his voice carried a hint of tease.

"You must be Devil's favourite pawn" He chuckled.

"And why is that?"

"You are a manipulative bitch"

"That means you admit that you don't want me gone. How cute"

"I'm gonna handle this. Don't interfere" He chuckles again before taking me to sit on his lap while the pasta is boiling.
