365: SHE WAS IN RUSH

SHE WAS IN RUSH

"Really?" Sunny was surprised.1

"Yes." Raine admitted it readily. "He disappeared last night."

"Disappeared? What do you mean by he disappeared?" Sunny was startled, her voice was laced with anxiety that she shouldn't show. "I thought you and Torak were out of the city."

"Out of the city?" Raine's placid black eyes flickered. "I have never mentioned that I went out of the city."

"Oh, that is just my own speculation." Sunny reasoned, murmuring. "Because the police couldn't find both of you…"

That reason indeed made some sense, but Raine felt there was something strange with the way Sunny said it.

Sunny has a bright personality, thus if something was bothering her, it wasn't hard to point out. Raine knew her enough to say that Sunny was hiding something while they were talking.

However, this was within Raine's prediction. Of course, she hid something from her.

The moment Raine returned to this city and how her vision was getting close to what would happen, she realized this was something that she couldn't avoid or know how to avoid it.

Thus, since she wasn't able to prevent it from happening, so why didn't she just face it and figure out what would actually happen?

Raine thought deeply for a second before she nodded and agreed. "Hm, we went out of the city."

"But, but… you said that you are still in fulbright city." Sunny reminded her about what she said earlier.

"Because I thought Torak returned to this city." Raine replied. "After all, he left the company that he had painstakingly established just like that. I think he still has some important things to do and settle a few things, so I came back."

That was totally a lie and Raine knew she was lying. Torak wouldn't bat an eye even if they took over the company and froze his assets there.

Raine just wanted to give Sunny an excuse to call her again. Because if Raine's guess was true, she would.

"Raine, just please know that I don't think Torak did all of those things that they were saying in the media." Sunny said.

"Don't worry about that, the truth will come to light eventually." Raine didn't really think that they would wait for the truth of the situation to be revealed. All they wanted was to have Torak's head.

"Oh…" Sunny mumbled. "If I find some news about Torak, I will let you know… maybe, he was looking for those investors and his previous business partners…" She kept rambling.

Raine didn't really care about what she was talking, neither was she listening to her. 

"Yes, please do." Raine looked at the bustling city roads through the window and the Donovan building, not very far from her place. "I have to go, please call me if you hear something about Torak."

"Yes, but Raine…" Sunny's tone was hesitant.

"Hm?"

"Where are you?" Sunny asked, her voice sounded like she didn't want Raine to answer her.

Of course, she wouldn't. "If you have news about Torak, I will come to you." Raine's message was very clear and she hoped that that person would be able to get it.

"Alright. Take care of yourself." Sunny bid her goodbye, but Raine just cut the call.

Raine knew the decision that she took right now was very risky, but this was a faster way for her to find him.

Raine didn't have much time, the bird looked like it would die at any moment now. She was in rush. The only thing that she wished for was everything to run smoothly…

She typed something on her phone and waited for the reply.

It didn't take very long for Calleb to inform her about Raphael's number and in less than five minutes, Raine was on a phone call with the furious Beta.

"No! Raine, I object to your idea!" Raphael said sternly. "I will be there in a few hours, until then, don't do anything reckless."

"For now, I will not." Raine agreed, but she was not finished yet. "But, if they responded to my offer, then I will act accordingly."

"Raine, that's too dangerous!" Raphael was exasperated by his Luna.

"Torak is in danger! The more time we waste, the closer Torak is to death!" Raine gripped her phone tightly as she caressed the bird tenderly. "I will never risk that."

There was determination in Raine's voice and Raphael couldn't find any room to negotiate with her.

"Tell me about your plan…" Raphael yielded.

============== 

"She is in this city…" Sunny put down her phone as she stared at her shoes, feeling bad for her friend.

In front of the young girl were her father and a man with beautiful golden eyes, next to him were two women.

"Mr. Reiz, what do you want to do about this?" Mr. Andoori asked Belphegor beside him, in a puzzled tone.

Andoori Sr felt something was not right when de Medici family accepted their offer, not to mention it was far better than he expected, a position as the replacement of Torak Donovan! Who wouldn't take that golden opportunity?

Yet, he still couldn't find the reason why and Reiz de Medici wouldn't tell him anything either. Andoori Sr accepted his position just like that.

"Alright." Belphegor clapped his hands with a smile on his lips. "I just need that from you, you can go now."

Andoori Sr looked at his daughter whose face was clouded with a complicated emotion, her eyes quivered as she stared back at her father. However, Andoori shook his head, indicating that they didn't need to interfere and walked out of the room.

Regardless of her father's silent warning, Sunny still approached Belphegor. "What you will do to her?"

Belphegor raised his eyebrows upon hearing the girl's question. "We will do nothing. You can relax." He stretched out his hand and caressed the girl's cheeks. "I will need you to call her again later."

Sunny felt something cold slithering on her face when they made skin to skin contact and abruptly stepped back. She didn't like this man or the fact that her father joined hands with de Medici family.
