His Broken Angel 38. The Plan Succeeded
"Are you ready to carry out our plan? I’ve already told Leo and Chloe to set a trap for Arsen tonight," Sergio said, watching Claire as she walked toward the lockers."Yep! I’m going over there first. You should leave if you don’t want Claire to get suspicious about us being together," Josh replied, then walked toward the lockers where Claire was standing. Josh approached Claire with a single rose in his right hand. Once he was right behind her, he held the rose up in front of Claire’s face, startling her so much that she immediately turned around to face Josh.“Josh?” Claire said, furrowing her brow. “A beautiful flower for a very beautiful girl,” Josh said, then winked at Claire.“What’s wrong with you? Why are you flirting with me?” Claire asked, playfully hitting Josh’s arm.He laughed at Claire’s reaction, which still looked startled. “I’ve told you that I love you, Claire. Can’t you tell from the way my eyes always look at you with so much love?” Claire immediately grew som
His Broken Angel 37. Rose's Plan
The anger that had nearly boiled over, slowly subsided and vanished completely after hearing that confession.[There are so many things I want to tell you, son. Can we set aside some time together to share stories? I really miss those days.] Arsen couldn’t hold back his smile this time, not caring that his vision was starting to blur. “Of course! I’ll take a week off and we can tour Portland. I’ll show you the beauty of autumn along the Willamette River. You’ll definitely love it—the air here is so clean and cool.” A chuckle sounded on the other end of the line. [Dad can’t wait to see it. Alright, son. I’m heading out now. The sooner the better, right? See you.] After that, the call ended.“So? What’s up? You look happy,” Leo asked as soon as Arsen moved the phone away from his ear with a broad smile. “Turns out Claire was right. Forgiving and letting go really is very difficult. But once I was able to do it, my heart felt truly at peace,” Arsen replied, his face beaming.Leo gentl
His Broken Angel 36. The Phone Call
Leo clenched his jaw and balled his fists. “You’re a total asshole! You were pretending to be Rose?” James just gave a wry smile. “I could have killed you while you were asleep. Even that guy named Jack.”Leo didn’t know what to say. He couldn’t act rashly when facing James, because it would surely affect Claire. He couldn’t use a weapon. So the only option that crossed his mind was to handcuff James’s hands to stop him from going any further. After a brief scuffle, Leo finally managed to subdue James, though his arm and forehead were slashed by a knife. He was panting as if he’d just run a marathon. It turned out James was getting stronger. James had cursed him with the harshest words, but then lost consciousness after Claire took over. He hurriedly called Paul on his cell phone. “Paul, we’ve got a big problem now.”***Arsen was lost in thought near the glass wall of his apartment. After James had suddenly attacked Andreo by pretending to be Rose earlier, they agreed to give Clai
His Broken Angel 35. A Lesson From James
“Claire, calm down. Don’t force yourself to dwell on the past. Take a deep breath, and exhale slowly. Come on, you can do it,” Paul said, giving her instructions to help her regain her composure.Claire followed the doctor’s advice, just as she had done when she was with Arsen. “Do you feel calmer now?” Paul asked.“My head is spinning so badly,” Claire complained, holding the side of her head.“Alright, you should rest for now. We’ll resume the therapy tomorrow,” Paul said as he took a small syringe filled with clear liquid and injected it into Claire’s arm. “Now we should all leave this room so Claire can rest and clear her mind,” Paul suggested as he packed up his equipment. Leo smiled at Claire briefly, then left the room, followed by Andreo.“You have to be strong, Claire. You have to believe that you can control your alter egos so the therapy process succeeds quickly. The most important thing is to confront James, and you’ll find peace within your heart. Be certain that you a
His Broken Angel 34. The Dream
“Emily! How dare you, James!” Leo shouted as he lunged at James, but he was too slow—James immediately parried Leo’s attack. Andreo hugged James from behind and locked his arms, but James was so strong that Andreo’s energy was immediately drained. Meanwhile, the blond man quickly found the crook of James’s arm and jabbed the syringe there, causing James to curse angrily and rail against the blond man. “Leo, help me! I can’t take it anymore!” Andreo’s muffled scream left Leo momentarily torn between choosing Emily or helping the man. But in the end, he chose to help Andreo. “Paul, please take Emily to the hospital,” Leo pleaded as he helped Andreo restrain James’s thrashing. “No, you’re the one who has to take her. That way I can treat Claire as soon as possible,” Paul replied, holding back James’s increasingly frantic movements.Leo finally obeyed Paul’s words. He hurried over to Emily and untied the rope binding her body. He didn’t dare pull out the knife—it would only make thi
His Broken Angel 33. James' Appearance
Right now, Emily's body was tied to a wooden chair with rope. Rose just smiled amusedly at Emily’s reaction, then walked back to the red sofa in the corner of the room.“Damn you!” Emily cursed, still unable to free herself from the ropes.Rose turned to face Emily, laughing derisively. “Go to hell!” Emily shouted angrily, breathing heavily.“If you want to come along,” Rose replied casually as she approached Emily. “Do you still love Arsen?” she asked once she was right in front of Emily, bending down so she was eye-level with her. “Of course! I’d have Arsen in a heartbeat if only Claire, that slut, hadn’t stolen him!” Emily shouted loudly.Rose immediately straightened up, and the atmosphere turned silent. For a moment, Emily thought the girl had finally come to her senses, but she was wrong. Rose stared at her with a cold gaze and a blank expression. The sight immediately reminded her of two previous incidents that had successfully driven her paranoid. There was no movement from
His Broken Angel 8. Stay The Night
They chatted about many things, ranging from their college majors, hobbies, favorite movies, how Arsen had ended up in college late and eventually managed to open his own restaurant, to other trivial matters. Arsen felt that Claire was a pleasant person who could warm his heart. Her demeanor made
His Broken Angel 7. She Looks Different
After seven hours of working at a restaurant that was always packed with customers, Claire was finally able to go home. She had no choice but to walk to her apartment, since public transportation had stopped running at this hour.Josh couldn’t give her a ride home tonight, and hailing a taxi—which
His Broken Angel 6. She's Claire, Not Rose
Claire blinked, confused by the man’s words. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to—I was just in a hurry to get to the café,” Claire said after snapping out of her bewilderment. She didn’t even know the man standing before her, so why was he acting as if he knew her so well? “Oh, my name isn’t Rose.” The
His Broken Angel 5. Messy Arsen
A week had passed since his encounter with Rose, yet Arsen still couldn’t forget her. Almost every night, he would visit his favorite bar or the places he’d once gone to with Rose, but he never managed to find her. Leo still hadn’t given him any news, and that made him anxious. It was as if she we
