Chapter 219 - Side Story 10.2 (2/2)
”You were good actors. But unfortunately, I already found out the moment our driver turned into a path that we don't usually traverse.” This would be the time for him to keep silent because he didn't want to explain. Explaining took a lot of words, but he found himself unable to stop talking.
”And I believe that my dear fiancée, Francisca is also a part of this? As well as those boys who were chasing you. And, of course, the grandma and the child.”
The smile on her face widened, and she backed away a little. ”I thought so. I knew that we shouldn't have change the direction. We should have forced our way and rent along that path,” she mumbled to herself.
”Even if you did. I would still know. Francisca would give it away.”
She sighed and shrugged her shoulders. ”Sorry about that. She's more into action than acting.”
He knew it. No woman would ever last long with him without a motive. ”What I want to know is . . . why?”
She looked him in the eyes like she could see and spoke with a voice like she owned the world. ”The heart of Frizkiel.”
”. . .”
”. . .”
”Our heirloom. So I'm dealing with a thief?”
”Treasure Hunters if you well,” she said and placed her hand on her waist.
Mike smirked. ”A blind treasure hunter?”
”Partially bind,” she corrected. ”I can see your shadow and can hear the beating of your heart.”
”Hmm . . . so what now?”
”Now we go to plan B,” she said. She then approached him and stared him in the eyes. ”I heard from Francisca that you lack certain emotions. Let's make a deal. I'll help you get back those emotions, and you'll give me the heart of Frizkiel.”
”. . .” Mike was silent for a moment. Not batting an eyelid as he said, ”What made you think I'll agree?”
She licked her lips. ”Well . . . for starters. Instead of an heirloom that collected dust in your vault, I think you'd rather live your life in the present.”
”. . .”
”So tell me, son of Frizkiel. Would you rather go with me and get back your emotions, or would you rather be stuck in here and resume your dull life as a robot?”
Mike couldn't utter a word. He couldn't take his eyes away from her. She was blind, but it felt like she could see his soul. Her eyes shone more than his and more so from all the people he knew.
It was full of life . . . full of passion . . . it took his breath away.
His hand stretched before he knew it, and it welcomed hers in a tight shake.
”Deal.”
