Dark Princess

Bright Point

And I started with a warm peck on his forehead. I really miss him a lot. Not only did I want to shift her focus away from those stories, but only 1%. 99% was purely because I missed Jade who freely expressed happiness in my arms. It has been a long time since I have seen him show such diverse emotions. He's always cold, calm. Almost scary. He was too busy with the stories he wrote. Or maybe it's not just a story. It could be, he was pouring all those memories that were drowning in his subconscious, which came peering to the surface as it was called to come so often.

And I'm busy too. Just as busy as Jade. Think about and look for pieces of that story. Then try to arrange in a whole puzzle frame. But it still takes a lot of time to complete it. There are still many unanswered questions. And in the midst of that busyness, I also struggled to find a way to ensure that he remained sane.

The progress in his story was enough to make him happy. There has been a change from before. The princess had already moved out of the palace. I wonder, could it be that it was the process of her entry into this country? And what's next? Will it end on the day he was left in the church garden?

Let's see it later. I'm curious too.

But how the story goes is no longer a problem. I was thinking hard how to accompany someone who has a dark past. Imagine, I've been thinking that far, as if I already knew that the story was true. But there's no harm in preparing for everything, right? I'll do anything to make peace in Jade's life.

I woke up, from the ringing of my phone. I grabbed the phone from the nightstand by the bed. Drey's? I got up and walked into the study.

"Speak Drey."

"Bosses. About Jade's DNA we're handing over to the police. It seems that it's not there anymore. Retractable. It happened yesterday afternoon. When I tried to check the progress of the report..."

"There's information about who drew the report? And why can?"

"Someone from Kim Corps boss." That name reminds me of Denise Kim. Don't don't?

"We're going to the office now. Prepare car. Tell Andrew to base here. Add one more person to accompany Andrew. This place can never be left behind. Now!"

"Ready boss!"

I went back to the bedroom. Making sure that he was still sleeping soundly and not bothered by my movements. It's still dawn, it's not time to wake up. I took a shower, dressed quickly, kissed her forehead and walked out of the room. Drey was waiting at the door with Andrew and Fred.

"Andrews. Make sure everything is safe in this house. No outsiders were allowed to approach or enter the house. Report to me. Everything should be my permission. I will tell Jade about the whereabouts of the two of you. Respond swiftly to every call from me or Drey."

"Ready boss!"

Just like the other Saturdays, there was no one in the office except the division that handled the store. They take turns going in to make sure all Earnest fashion stores operate smoothly. Precisely the buying and selling process occurs more on weekends. They will immediately go and work from the offices located in each Earnest fashion store. The office was back quiet.

"Shortly Drey, what's the progress so far?" Drey handed me a document. A paper signed by a legal representative entitled to revoke the DNA report. Wh who? But the name and the signature on the paper were new people.

"Are you sure he's someone from Kim Corps?"

"He's the staff of their law office boss."

"I still haven't found anything Boss. And one more piece of information. Jade got into Gaia Wear purely from the process it was supposed to be. There is a valid contract of employment on paper. I'm not sure how official the process is, but one thing, Gaia has nothing to do with Jade's appointment as a permanent staff member on Gaia Wear soon after her graduation. Gaia found him after he became a permanent staffer, then recruited him to be her PA."

The small possibility that I thought was true. Given Gaia Wear is such a big and bona fide company, it is unlikely that Jade would have gotten into it as the process should have been. There must be someone's interference. Because it wasn't Gaia Kim, who else if it wasn't Denise Kim? I'm mangosteen. There's starting to be a bright spot. Plus, they dared to pull that DNA report. He did not want the secret to be revealed.

"Another info?"

"I got this an hour ago..." Drey handed me his phone. A message is sent through a paid text message. Not a common chat application used today.

'Let's talk. Call this number.'

"Whose number is that? Already checked?"

"This number is listed with the same name that's on the paper's boss. Legal representative who retracted the DNA report." Oh. Okay Denise Kim. Whatdoyouwant?

"Call now."

Drey called that number. The response obtained is very fast. Within seconds, the call was closed. Drey wrote down an address on paper and handed it to me.

"Who's on the phone? A guy? The lady?"

"The boss man."

"Tell him, in an hour we get there." I won't wait any longer. I need to finish it as soon as possible. If I'm right about Denise Kim and Jade's relationship, I have to set things straight and close the case. About what he wants... I don't know. I need to meet up as soon as possible to know how we're gonna do it.

"Boss.." Drey seemed hesitant. His attitude is always changing. I looked into his eyes. There's something to tell him.

"Say, what's wrong?"

"Do you think this boss is okay? Sure we're getting into their base? What if they're planning something bad? Wouldn't it be better if I went there first and checked. We'll decide whether or not to go there..." Ah, yes. Drey's reasons make sense. But I'm impatient.

"I didn't find any fault on our part Drey. So don't worry. The fact that they pulled the DNA report, must be because. But I suspect, it was purely for Jade's safety. And if that's true, then their intentions are good. But really, it's good to be careful. Prepare our people, 10 people is enough. Ask them to follow us from far away. Make smooth movements. Just in case. Let's walk!" I gave the order.

In quick motion we headed to a villa in the city center, in one of the most expensive complexes in the city. That guy, ask us to come over there.

My mind's raging. Is it true Drey said that we are entering the enemy base? But it's impossible. If they were malicious, they would not be able to provide a residential address. That's not how bad people work. Another story if we were directed to a remote, silent or unidentified place. Besides, I'm already impatient.
