As i walked inside his room, he was standing on the balcony, with his back facing me while he was holding his phone talking to someone on the phone.
"I do love her, but I don't know-"
He turned around at the same time, I saw his pupils spread out after he saw me standing at the door and ended the call immediately.
I myself was shocked at the thing I had just heard.
Love?
"What are you doing here?"
Instant coldness same and began fleeting in his voice and so did it in his eyes.
"I want to talk! Can you at least listen to me?"
At first he kept looking at me and then nodded, after giving it a thought.
"What do you want?"
"Your support!"
There was a judgemental, yet a calculating look in his eyes, as if trying to scan me or my mind to know what was going on in my mind.
"Listen, I know it's hard to trust me after everything that had happened, but I want you give me a chance to explain everything... And how important your support is to me."
"Spat!"
"Not here, I don't have anything on me right now, it's all at my apartment, if you want to, we can go there and I'll explain everything to you!"
I was scared that he might refuse me, since trusting was going to be hard after I had hid such a big thing from him.
"Let's go!"
He grabbed my hand and almost dragged me out of the mansion, making me sit in his car, he drove us to the complex.
Every single thing, each and every step he took was hastened and at the same time filled with fury.
And I think, he does has every right to be angry, he was betrayed, though I am not his sister but I did act as one.
Not even trying to park the car properly he got out of the car and opened the door for me, and helped me walk out of the car.
Holding my right hand carefully we walked inside mg building where we walked into a staff member and he handed him his car keys, asking him to park it properly for him.
As we arrived at my floor, I opened the pass lock and entered inside with him following me.
"Hmm, now where is the proof that you aren't a bad person?"
He spat the question when we had barely walked five steps inside the apartment.
"I'm bringing every single thing, I won't run away after asking you to come, just don't go anywhere while I'm bringing everything!"
I retorted at his rude behaviour, even if I do get it from where his mean attitude is coming onto me, still he could try and show some decency, some humanity, some respect.
Stupid donkey!
Walking inside the bedroom, I took out most of the things, piling them up on the floor but when I tried to pick them, I needed both my hands for support, and unfortunately the clear warning given by the doctor was enough to make me not do it.
"Hey, can you come in? The stuff is quite heavy and I won't be able to pick it up."
Showing my injured wrist to him, I asked him respectfully while leaning on the doorframe. He kept looking at me, scanning me for any suspicious behaviour.
"I won't kill you!"
I stared at him wearily, while he disbelievingly stared, judging my intentions.
" I really can't pick it up, so either you bring everything out or I will show you each and every single proof in there, your call!"
I stated rolling my eyes, before standing straightly and cross folding my arms against my chest.
I'm a girl, and he is a freaking man almost a foot taller than me, and 20 kgs heavier than me!
And as I named him stupid.donkey, he is that!
"Where is it? I'll bring everything out!"
Shrugging his shoulders he walked oast by me inside the bedroom, as if he had just not been contemplating my words.
He brought everything outside, the books the documents the letter and even the journal.
I took a seat on the couch, with him on the other end of the couch, observing akl the stuff.
"Hmm, so what is all this?"
Eyeing all the stuff that was kept on the table, he shuffled a thing or two, before picking up the journal.
"Hey! Give it back!"
"That's not something for you to read!"
I spatted, snatching it out of his hands I kept it beside me on the other side of the couch.
"That's my sister's so give it back!"
"And that's me! That means its mine!"
He tried taking it but I brought my left between myself and him, that he was about to crush but stopped on time.
"I swear this is real! If you don't trust me go ask your friend Cassian! I got an x-ray in front of him."
"You went out with Cassian?"
He looked shocked while asking this question, I nodded at him making a smile cover his lips, before he cleared his throat and straightened his face
"Why did you smile?"
"No reason."
He shook his head in no as he opened a book.
"Okay now, cut the crap, tell me what's happening?"
Taking a deep breath I told him each and every thing, the novel, the plot, who saved me...and everything...
"What?"
Kalix's eyes widened as he stared at me in disbelief.
"Hmm, Franklin was the one behind everything, my pictures in that farmhouse, the kidnapping, and I also think that the person behind Luca's death is also him."
"This can't be!"
He muttered.
"I want to change the plot, I just have to do that and I will be safe... I thought that maybe after meeting Luca everything would be fine, but perhaps I was wrong..."
"So that means you just have to make sure that you don't die and Laurel would return?"
He asked, staring hopefully at me.
"I really don't know...as much as I want to go back, I don't even know whether I'm still alive in that world, I remember the explosion vividly, I have lived it, how can I be alive after suffering such a blast?"
"And...even if I do I am not confirmed what would happen, will I stay here or would I go back or would I even be alive? I don't know anything."
I sighed, with my head lowered while he was worried the same.
"So? Laurel won't be... coming back?"
His question was simple yet confusing, it was difficult to answer such thing, would she be coming back?
When she herself said she doesn't wants to return? Should she be coming back because after she comes where would I go?
"I don't know."
I shook my head, and for few seconds there was deafening silence in the whole apartment.
"So what's the plan, have you planned anything to do so or do you have any idea what's happening?"
"First of all tell me, do you even trust me?"
"What kind of question is that, I just genuinely sat down with you, listening to everything you said and you are asking if I am even trusting you?"
"Don't get me wrong, it's just I want to confirm that are you even trusting me, I don't want to trust some guy who is not ready to support me."
"I do trust you a lot, for my sister...she trusted you and when she said that I would trust you, that means I would trust you."
He sat on the couch, while he kept glancing at me, wiyh that soft look he had in his eyes.
I opened all the notes I had made till now, Infront of him showing him the progress I was able to make while trying to look for a solution, an end to the written end of this novel.
What's to be done now? It was totally out of my understanding.
"Hmm...so well is there is anything else?"
"Not anything special, but I did notice one thing, after matching this world with the original novel, I found one thing, that the characters, they are different here from how they were supposed to be, Elodie was rude with me, and me being Laurel, and wanting to change the plot, I remained calm and both of that was totally out of the book."
"That means at the welcome party, it wasn't just me, Elodie did act weirdly with you."
He also had noticed her behaviour, that means Luca and I was not the only people to notice her rude behaviour with me.
She was talking normally with everyone, except for me and Cassian.
With Cassian her way of talking was a bit understandable but with me? It was weirdly rude and mean.
That's how I found out that each character from usual was different.
