40 THE NEWS

Life is the art of pretending to be normal.

-Atticus-

******************

“Why did you bring me here?” Blue asked. She didn’t know why, but the vibes that Gael emanated now were truly disturbing. She felt annoyed only to hear him sighing deeply, as if this grown up man was bearing the burdens of this world all alone.

“Can you just eat and stop asking me questions?” Once again, Gael sighed deeply until the little girl felt an urge to throw the ice cream cup in her hand at his face, so he could stop acting so miserable.

They were inside a cake shop, which did not suit Gael’s style at all. This place was too sweet and too pink for him to be here, especially with his dark mood and a little girl, who didn’t look innocent at all. They looked like a combo of father and daughter, who didn’t like each other.

Gael was sitting on a chair that was too short to accommodate his stature and long legs, so he had to stretch his legs out until they touched Blue’s and many times the girl had to kick his legs so he didn’t touch hers.

“Can you stop sighing miserably? And... ” Blue extended her arm and showed Gael her empty cup of ice cream,”I want more.”

Thankfully, no one would expect the CEO of the LB Company, the successful young businessman Gael McKeltar, to come here and enjoy ice cream, thus he could be free for a while from his fame now.

.....

“Go, buy it yourself.” Gael threw her his black card, as he leaned his back against the chair.

Fortunately, as a shifter, Blue had good reflexes, so she caught the card before it hit her forehead and looked at Gael sullenly.

However, before she could jump from her seat, the television there broadcasted news centering on Gael McKeltar, which caught Blue’s attention, while Gael only glanced at it briefly and closed his eyes again, since he already knew what the news was about.

After all, he was the one who asked for it.

“You are going to get married?” Blue asked, her voice couldn’t hide her surprise. “Who is the poor girl that will get married to you?”

Gael opened his eyes and groaned. “With your small body, you truly have the ability to annoy people.” He clicked his tongue in annoyance.

===================

Archie was standing in front of several people, looking all calm and collected as he talked about their mission two weeks from now. It would be a big mission and would involve many people.

However, despite the complexity of the plan, Archie looked very satisfied and excited. A few people there had the same expression as him.

However, among the people, the only person, who looked so tense with a furrow between his brows, was Sol. He was anxious and restless.

He didn’t want to wait for another two weeks. He wanted this to be done and over within a day. But no one would support his crazy idea to barge into Gael McKeltar’s residence and end his life right there and then. After all, it was too risky and they needed a foolproof plan to take down a public figure like McKeltar.

Who would have thought that a famous businessman like him was a non- human creature? They probably would have let it pass if it was not for Sol’s report that the man had abused a woman.

Archie knew Lise’s family quite well, after all they had been very close in the past. Therefore, Archie took this matter into his hands.

“Stop sulking like that,” July said softly when she stood behind Sol.

They were inside the room that was filled with around a hundred people, who gathered around to listen to the grand plan.

“What are you doing here?” Sol glanced at his older sister. July and Jasmine were twins, but somehow Sol always managed to tell them apart, no matter how good July could act as her twin.

“Listening to the battle plan,” July replied. She didn’t look interested in getting involved in the organization’s affairs, but every so often, she would sneak into the room and listen to their conversations. And now, they even said it would be a grand battle with a tough nut like the young McKeltar until she couldn’t resist the urge to join them.

“You sneaked into this room again,” Sol retorted.

“Why not? I am still part of our family, right?” But then she added, “Even though I don’t want to be a part of this organization.”

Sol ignored her and listened to the plan with straightface and forethought.

“So, you guys plan to kill the man on his wedding day?” July nodded her head and murmured. “It is bad luck to kill someone, who is going to marry.”

But then, she smiled apologetically when Sol threw her a dagger look. The girl that filthy creature would get married to was Lise, of course Sol wouldn’t care about bad luck.

“The little girl with Chaos is indeed your brother’s daughter,” Mateo told Anthony in his study room.

The alpha had been showing his temper ever since he heard about the appearance of his niece, whom he thought had been dead for years.

Was it possible that during those years, his niece was under Chaos’ possession? What had he done to the little girl?

“Find out more about it and we will bring her back.” Anthony stood up from his seat and paced back and forth inside his room. “I want to talk to one of the McKeltars. If you can replace out how to reach Chaos, it will be even great.”

No one would be able to replace that cursed soul if he decided to not appear in front of you.

“I have been trying to replace a way to reach Chaos, but it’s nearly impossible, while Knox is hard to replace, but there will be a wedding party of Gael McKeltar in two weeks,” Mateo reported to him.
