Logan turned back and headed inside the store. The bell above the door gave a small sound as he stepped in. He let the door close slowly behind him.

The cool air inside touched his face as he walked straight to the counter without looking around at the shelves or the few customers moving between the aisles.

The woman behind the counter was fixing a small radio. Her hands moved carefully over the wires. When she heard the customer's footsteps she looked up slowly. Her eyes landed on Logan.

    The car door opened. Clara stepped inside carefully. The nurse bowed her head slightly before stepping back. The door closed with a soft sound and the car moved forward. Clara settled into the seat. A few seconds later, the vehicle pulled away from the hospital. The nurse remained standing there until the car disappeared from sight before finally turning around to continue her duties.She had barely taken a few steps when her phone suddenly vibrated inside her coat pocket. She pulled it out and checked the screen. An electronic mail had arrived from an unknown sender. Her eyebrows drew together slightly as she opened it and read the message displayed inside.The message was short. "VALADERO COPIED." She read it in a whisper."Meaning of this?" she whispered under her breath. The word meant absolutely nothing to her. She stared at it for several seconds before shaking her head. "Wrong mail."Without giving it further thought, she deleted the email. It disappeared into the trash fold

    Jeffery stood near the bed and looked at Clara for a moment. "I will be heading downstairs. I will wait inside the car for you. Get changed and the nurse will accompany you."Clara fingers played with the flower. "Are you the only one picking me up? Don't I have family members or you are the only family I got."Jeffery's face stayed calm. "We are not related by blood but we are much closer than that." He signalled to the doctor. The doctor quickly cleared his throat and stepped forward."Miss Ivy, like you mentioned before, Mr Rothwell here has been the only one who has been checking on you," the doctor said. He glanced at Jeffery for a second before continuing. "You need to focus only on yourself. Thinking or trying to force your memory back is really dangerous. They will sure come around piece by piece."Clara nodded slowly. She held the flowers tighter in her lap. Jeffery smiled softly at her. He patted her back gently and headed toward the door with the doctor behind him.Just a

    The question dropped inside the car like something heavy falling from a height. Logan hands stayed firm on the wheel and his eyes stayed on the road ahead. The traffic outside moved like nothing important was happening inside the car."I am still working on it, sir," Logan said carefully. "I know how important it is to you. I would not come to you with half information."Jeffery did not answer right away. The silence stayed in the car longer than any words could. Logan adjusted his grip on the steering wheel waiting for what was about to befall on him."Since when did you start lying to me?" Jeffery asked quietly. He looked at Logan through the front mirror. "Or is this something you have always done, and I am only now seeing it clearly?"Logan swallowed hard."I do not understand what you mean, sir.""You told me you were going there. You went there, checked what you needed to check from the man's daughter. Then you came back and sat in this car and told me you were still searching

    Logan turned back and headed inside the store. The bell above the door gave a small sound as he stepped in. He let the door close slowly behind him. The cool air inside touched his face as he walked straight to the counter without looking around at the shelves or the few customers moving between the aisles. The woman behind the counter was fixing a small radio. Her hands moved carefully over the wires. When she heard the customer's footsteps she looked up slowly. Her eyes landed on Logan.The radio slipped from her hands and hit the floor with a loud crash. The sound echoed through the quiet store. A few customers turned their heads toward the counter. The woman quickly bent down to pick it up. Her fingers trembled a little as she held the radio again. "I am sorry please." she said to the customers. Her voice came out steady but her smile looked forced. She placed the radio on the counter and straightened up. Her eyes kept going back to Logan.Logan walked closer to the counter.

    Logan's hand shot out fast in the dark. His fingers closed tight around the nurse's wrist just as her foot slipped completely over the edge. He pulled with all his strength. The sudden jerk brought her forward but the force sent both of them backward. They fell hard onto the cold rooftop floor. Their backs hit the hard surface at the same time. The impact knocked the air from Logan's lungs. The nurse landed beside him. She lay there gasping, her chest rose and fell like she had run for miles without stopping. The stars above them looked cold and far away.She stayed on the ground for a long moment. Her body shook all over. She breathed like an animal that had just escaped the hunter's bullet. Short, desperate gasps came from her mouth. Sweat covered her face and neck. Her hands pressed flat against the floor as if she still felt herself falling into nothing.Logan lay there too. He felt the rough surface under him and the night wind on his skin. The fear in her eyes stayed burned in

  • GOLDEN CONTRACT OF DESIRE   Chapter 142: Three Steps To Death

    Logan drove down the quiet road with his hands tight on the wheel. The hospital lights grew bigger in the distance. He pressed harder on the gas. The engine sounded louder in the empty night but he did not care. He needed to see the truth for himself. He needed to hear it from the woman who had stood closest to Clara now. The words from the reservoir still turned inside his chest like something alive. Clara was his blood. His sister. And she still lay in that bed with no idea what waited for her.He pulled into the parking lot faster. The tires made a sharp sound against the ground. He cut the engine and sat there for a moment. His heart beat heavy in his ears. He pulled the hood of his jacket low over his face and adjusted the cap and nose mask. Then he stepped out into the cool air and walked toward the entrance like any other visitor who belonged there. But his steps felt heavier. Every shadow in the hall made him turn his face away.Two men moved ahead of him toward the private
