Chapter 43 She Had Enough



Marceline couldn\'t concentrate on her work. She was so distracted as she kept on thinking about those supernatural beings. This was not a dream, a movie nor a fairytale. It was for real.

She was discovering more things with each passing day because of Kira\'s presence. The world was indeed different from what she knew.

For her, meeting Kira was like a blessing. It seemed that she was already close to uncovering the truth behind her parents\' death.

But part of her was getting anxious. She wasn\'t certain if she could handle the truth. What if there was more conspiracy behind that tragic night?

There were lots of questions running in her mind as of this moment.

Why did her grandfather turn a blind eye even though she told them that werewolves attack them?

Why did they keep this truth hidden from her?

If they knew the existence of those werewolves then they should have believed her that her parents were killed by those ferocious beasts.

Why did her Uncle interact and connect with Triple W, an organization which was composed of werewolves? He should hate werewolves for killing his brother!

Marceline didn\'t know what to think any more. She felt like her brain was gonna burst trying to figure out those things.

She massaged her temples, leaning on the backrest of her executive chair. She closed her eyes as she took a deep breath. She felt emotionally and mentally exhausted right now.

She stayed in that position as she decided to clear her mind, keeping her emotions in check. If she wouldn\'t do it, she might burst out at any moment.

\'Is my own family trying to cover up something? Until now, my parents\' case remains unsolved.\' Marceline thought, clenching her fists as she gripped the armrest tightly.

She was in that state of emotional turmoil when she caught a whiff of a familiar masculine scent but she was too lazy to open her eyes.

\'He is back!\' Her heart jumped with joy.

For some unknown reason, she was able to calm herself a little after knowing he was near. His presence gave her a sense of comfort and security.

Seconds later, she just felt Kira\'s hands rubbing her temples. "Boss Lin, are you tired?" His voice was very gentle and she heard a slight hint of worry in his voice.

He was already standing at the back of her chair. She believed he used his super-speed to reach her spot in no time. She didn\'t even hear his footsteps coming in her direction.

"Yes… I am tired… emotionally tired," she weakly mumbled, taking a deep sigh.

She was surprised as to why she easily admitted it to Kira. She was the kind of person who didn\'t want to show her vulnerable side to others. She always put her brave front on, not allowing people to see her weak side.

Despite her overbearing aura and strong image, she was still a woman who had weakness and a soft spot that she was trying her best to hide.

Kira didn\'t say a word. He just kept massaging her temples. When Marceline opened her eyes, she met his intense gaze. He was looking at her as if he was engraving her beautiful features in his mind.

Thump! Thump!

Her heart started to run wild once again. She was captivated by his mesmerizing eyes. It would be more beautiful without those brown contact lenses.

Marceline subconsciously chewed on her lower lip as Kira\'s gaze was making her feel something– something she couldn\'t explain nor describe.

"W-What… Cough! Cough!" She cleared her throat as she stammered at her first word. "What did you find out?" Marceline finally blurted out. She was referring to the spying stuff Kira did a while ago.

Kira\'s face darkened and his eyes glinted angrily when he recalled the things he overheard after spying on Cedric\'s and Ronan\'s conversation.

The rage reflecting on Kira\'s face didn\'t escape from Marceline\'s observant eyes. She assumed that Kira found out something that made him mad like this.

Marceline caught his arms, rotating her swivel chair to face Kira. "Tell me what you learned after spying on them. Why are you furious?" She asked him while looking straight into his eyes.

Kira didn\'t answer her right away. He was contemplating whether to tell her now or not. She said she was emotionally tired. He didn\'t want to give her another burden.

He didn\'t know how Marceline would react once she found out that her own Uncle was trying to chase her out of the company. He was scheming against his own niece just because of greed and selfishness.

The worst part was that he even connived with a werewolf whom Marceline hated the most– the creature involved in her parents\' death.

"Kira, don\'t make me ask you thrice. Just spill the beans now." Marceline became impatient because of Kira\'s silence. The more he acted like this the more she wanted to know.

Kira could only sigh in defeat. He knew it. He couldn\'t bear to hide nor lie to her.

"Your Uncle and the CEO of Triple W… are up to something. They talked about you." Kira paused for a moment, assessing her expression.

He could see that Marceline was so eager to know everything. She was so focused on him, anticipating his next words.

"What about me? What are they up to?"

"Your Uncle… he wants the Zhou Empire for himself. To do that, you must disappear… so he conspires with this werewolf to take you away. He is like selling you out to the werewolves, sending you to their den." Kira clenched his jaw after saying his last words, cold glint flickering in his eyes.

Marceline was not surprised about her Uncle\'s motive. She knew from the start that her Uncle wanted to suppress her. But the thing she couldn\'t forgive was that he colluded with the werewolves!

She could no longer stand this. She already had enough of this scheme.

With her grim expression, she hastily stood up, storming out of her office. Kira moved quickly to follow her.

"Boss Lin, where are you going?"

"To my grandpa! I need to get some answers now otherwise, I will lose my mind!"
