Chapter 11: Nothing Could Stop Her
At Yue Mansion, Country V
Raine was alone eating dinner when her mind wandered to her encounter with that man, Tyrone. Her grip tightened around her knife as she pushed her plate of steak away from her with a grunt. She was getting frustrated. Something inside her was convinced that Tyrone and the ’lollipop boy’ who saved her was the same person.
This ’lollipop boy’ whose real identity was Nathaniel Yue.
She tried to recall what she could years ago about the boy, but all she could remember was the color of his eyes and hair. Her father tried to hunt the boy down to kill him, and it took her father over two long years after eradicating uncle Arthur’s family and followers even to find him. By that time, Raine’s father found the boy who was said to have turned into a werewolf. She witnessed how her father killed him during that time. She was nine by then.
So why was she convinced that the ’lollipop boy’ or Nathan was alive? The answer was quite simple. It was because of the boy’s eyes back then...
She didn’t say a word, but her father killed the wrong boy. Raine knew it was part of Nathan’s plan to stay alive to have found someone to be killed instead of him. Raine did not know why she protected him again in that crucial moment from her father. If she had said something, then the hunt might not have ended until they killed the real Nathan.
Back then, she never mentioned his name. She only referred to him as the ’lollipop boy’ for his own safety.
She was interrupted from her stupor when her uncle Yun entered the dining area. He had snapped eyebrows as he stared at her and Raine knew why. Her uncle could not wait to get rid of her wherever he was staying. She was someone who would always question all his movements, after all, whether it was regarding the Yue Group or Moon Clan.
"I heard you delayed your flight to country D?" Yun commented as he walked to his chair on the table, the left side of his brother Marcus’ seat. He faced her, who was busy eating opposite him. "Aren’t you slacking too much, Raine?"
