Chapter 39 

Leon 

*What the fuck just happened ? Did I hear him correctly ? He sounds serious. It's a little too serious for my liking . What the hell happened?*

Jade : Why are you up? 

*I quickly snap out of it. I'll have to go meet up with him tomorrow . I love Jade . I can never allow any sort of harm to befall her, but I also can't risk my family . I release a heavy sigh as I join her in bed and bring her closer to me so that she can cuddle me .*

Leon : I was in the bathroom. 

Jade : Mh . You're cold come closer. 

*She says, holding me tighter and kissing my arm .*

Jade : Goodnight.  

Leon : Goodnight.  

*I say and perk her forehead . I don't think I'll be able to fall asleep anytime soon.  I watch her slowly drift to sleep . She looks so peaceful once she's asleep. Her beauty is unmatched . Talk about sleeping beauty . Who would want to harm such a beautiful soul . I can't believe she's actually owning a whole orphanage .*

Leon : I will always protect you, my love, ok? I won't let anything happen to you . I love you, baby.   

*I say before bringing her closer to my chest and kissing her lips once more . I have to make a plan . Falling in love with her was not part of the plan. There's only one way to solve this .*

Leon : I have to find my mom . 

Jade 

*I just woke up. Leon is nowhere to be found . Maybe he's in the bathroom again . I feel my body has well rested and is ready for the day . I'll be cooped up in my study tonight . I have to find out what Jack is hiding. I make my way to the bathroom, and he's not here .*

Jade : Where is this man? 

*I say before stripping and heading for the shower . I prefer it best . My entire house is black and red . The only place that is not black is my bathroom. It's white . It's the only place where I actually feel human. No shadows and monsters surrounding me . It is the only place I hadn't tried to kill myself in and always survived . Sometimes, I feel like I'm immortal because how the hell can someone survive death so much . So much that I actually don't fear it anymore . I haven't felt my demons overpower me for a while now . Every time I am with Leon and my partners, I actually feel human . I haven't felt the urge to murdure any of them . No thrill to kill anyone around me as of yet . Maybe I am finally becoming normal . Who am I kidding? There's no normal for me. My parents were murdered in front of me . I practically raised myself after killing each and every foster family that took me in . And maybe that's how I like it . I'm finally done bathing and putting  lotion on my body .*
