HER HEARTLESS MONSTER : CHAPTER 41 – 50
REFECTORY*
Tamlin ordered a full table of lunch, and it was the special maids who served the meals.
Twilight kept gasping as each meal landed on the table, and when the maids were done, she faced Tamlin who’s sitting on the other end of the table.
“What?” His eyes shrank.
“Why so many? Who’d finish them?” She said.
“The maids can have the leftovers” Tamlin replied nonchalantly, getting his fork.
“Maids are humans too yunno?” She replied, and he looked up to see a hurt look in her eyes.
“Before my mama got diagnosed with schizophrenia, she was a maid at a dinner house” she said, and Tamlin slowly dropped his fork.
“I’m… I’m sorry I didn’t mean it that way” he said.
“It’s fine” she replied with a light smile, taking her fork, but then she realized none of the foods on the table is her favorite at all.
She loves fish, but fish is not even present, just beef which was Isobel’s favorite. She’s a big fan of fruit juice too, but there’s only grape wine which was Isobel’s favorite too.
Tamlin had prepared everything using late Isobel’s preference.
“You don’t like them?” He asked when he noticed her eyes.
“No…it’s fine” she smiled and began eating the beef slowly.
“You’ll probably spend two hours eating one small meat” Tamlin teased.
“How do you know I’m a slow eater?” She laughed.
“I just know” he replied, noticing her hair is hindering her from eating well.
He stood and came behind her chair then gathered her hair in his palm and tied it with a rubber band from his pocket.
“Thank you” she smiled as he returned to his seat.
“Welcome” he smiled back, then they resumed their meals, though Tamlin couldn’t stop staring throughout.
From the top stairs of the refectory, Slade stood by the rails, his right hand on top of the rails and his left hand in his pocket.
He’s watching them like a hawk, his eyes on the meals which all smell disgusting to him.
Food is mundane, and boring.
The way they’re eating and smiling at each other is the most annoying part.
What are they smiling about? Why would they even smile?
He raised his right pointer finger a bit, and the ceiling above the two tore apart, crashing down on the dinning table and wasting the food away.
The plates and meals scattered all-over the ground, and Twilight almost fell to the ground as a scream left her throat.
Tamlin ran to quickly cover her, holding her head to his chest.
“You ok?” He asked, and she slowly looked up.
“Yeah…yeah I’m fine” she swallowed, looking around.
She could feel goosebumps on her skin… Definitely, Slade did it.
Slade smirked and left the rails, exiting the refectory through the backdoor.
“Boss!” Uriel blocked him outside.
“Grandpa Cedric visited this school today, and he met her. I eavesdropped on her conversation with Echo earlier. He even gave her a card” he reported.
“And?” Slade faced him.
“What do you mean? What if he kills her behind your back? You said you don’t wanna kill her yet” Uriel replied.
“The curse won’t be lifted if I’m not the one who kills her, so there’s no fuçking way Grandpa is killing her. He’s only forming a pity relationship with her, he’s damn generous like that” Slade said.
“I forgot” Uriel nodded.
“And about the elixir?” Slade asked, and Uriel quickly handed him a tab.
“Apparently, the real source of the elixir is not known by any living thing, and the distribution started this year.” He reported as Slade scrolled through the tab.
“Started this year? But students have been going missing every month in this school for five years now” Slade replied.
“Yeah. That means they’ve been on the project for five years, and it only became successful this year, which is why they started distribution.
They were kidnapping one student per month before it’s success, but now that they’re sure about the success and almost every rich person wants it, I think they’ll increase the number of their kidnaps. Maybe three students per month” Uriel said.
“Tomorrow is this month end, meaning they’ll either come for the next kidnap today or tomorrow” Slade said, closing the tab.
“Yes” Uriel nodded.
“I’ll handle it” Slade replied and started leaving, but he suddenly turned back with his right side…
“They’ve been doing it easily for five years…this only means they have an insider working for them. It might be one of the sponsors…” He said.
“Or a student” Uriel finished up, and Slade left afterwards.
