Chapter 53 - Our Good Deeds

Ethan finally arrived at the country and went to find Chris who has already planned a group of men whom he went back to his family to beg for, as he didn't want to get Ethan's families worried.

He was stunned to hear from him, as he looked miserable within the short while he has been trying his possible best to hack into one of Nathan's corporation servers to inform him about it to no avail. Despite his skills; he just couldn't get through.

That's when he resolved to going back to his family, who laid down conditions for him, if he wants to get access to his family's men, as they aren't happy with the fact that he took a different road.

"F*ck! I was scared for you, what happened? Are you okay?" Chris bombard Ethan with questions immediately he picked the call.

"I'm fine, and I found him." Ethan said.

There was a short silence on the other end, before Chris spoke up, "how was he?" he asked.

"He's fine."

...

Getting home, Ethan immediately learned about the search on Diana and assured then that she's safe.

After taking a short nap, he went to talk with his family and was stunned to hear that Nathan has called. He felt his mind at ease and assure them that Nathan is doing well.

Mel called Stella immediately.

...

Stella was sitting in her office, deep in thought when the call came through. Since she hasn't heard any news about her daughter, she couldn't even forced herself to smile and aid her customers in selecting outfits as per usual.

She picked the call and they greeted each other as they usually did. "How are you?" Stella asked.

"Are you okay? Is Shane treating you well?" Mel asked.

"Please don't mention his name, and I'm fine." Replied Stella.

"I'm calling to check on you, take care." Mel said and ended the call.

Of course, the call was a trick. As soon as she end the call, Shane has already gotten the content of their conversation and listening to it at his office. He made sure to monitor her entire life, not leaving any single thing out.

He was also having a tough time with his business, not enough to get to him, but it has kept him occupied, as Alex's family corporation is not easy to deal with. Even though it isn't much, it was enough for Stella to breath at home, Shane has been busy on his laptop for the past two days and didn't have much time to disturb her.

Stella quickly unlock her safe and brought out her burner phone and called Mel back. "She's safe, so put your mind at rest." Mel said and felt for her friend as she heard her heave a sigh of relief. "Are you okay?" She couldn't help but ask.

"I'm fine, don't worry about me and thank you so much." Stella assured.

"Take care." Mel said.

...

Meanwhile.

"I don't feel like eating." Diana said.

"You should, you don't look good." Nathan replied as he put on his shirt.

"I'm scared." Diana suddenly said after a minute of silence.

"Don't be." He replied without asking why.

Diana smiled at his coldness. Even though he's treating her well, she could tell he's not used to stuff like that, which made her wondered why he made an exception for her. "You didn't ask why?" She said, looking at him, and saw him with his eyes closed again.

"I know why." he said, "don't break down human, if I get the root to that bastard strength, I will let you have the last kill for sure." He added, and opened his eyes as he felt Diana's head on his shoulder.

He scoffed, "it seems you do not know fear." He said.

Diana ignored him, "thank you." she said.

"For what?"

Ignoring his question again, "except your hair colour, you and Ethan are exactly the same." She said.

"You're surrogating my shoulder as his? Moreover, how are you so sure the only thing different between us is our hair?" He asked.

"It is." Diana replied flatly, as she closes her eyes and tried meditating, only focusing her mind on his warmth. She really needs it, she felt weak and could barely hold on from passing out much longer, she needs something to make her remain conscious. All of a sudden, "have you gauge the size of our manhood and confirmed if it's the same?"

Diana eyes sprung opened, "what!" she exclaimed.

"What what?"

"How can you say that to me?" she asked, not understanding how his brain works.

"Come here," Nathan motioned for her to come closer and wrapped his wounded arm around her like it's nothing. Her head resting on his chest that seem to have been rid of a heart. Diana didn't feel anything as well, but yeah; she really needed this.

"Your mom is a good woman human." Nathan spoke.

"You knew her?" Diana asked.

"She practically raised me and my brother with my mom, the memories I had of her were good and she really deserve to be happy." He said, patting her shoulder as she has started shaking.

"Same as your dad, the two were nice people." He added.

Already in tears, "you knew my dad too?" Diana asked.

"My memory of them is a bit vague, but the few I recall are pleasant ones." He said.

"Is my dad still alive?" Diana asked in between tears, Nathan shirt is already wet from her tears.

"That I do not know, but I will have someone make enquiries on it." He replied patting her head.

Diana sniffed, "is this why you're good to me?" she asked.

"Sometimes, the good deeds we believed is nothing today might later help out something of ours tomorrow," Nathan said, "I want you to be strong for her. I will leave the rest to you, course this road isn't easy and I'm sure it will be worth it if you could cope till the end human. Those trainees all have their own stories, but now they are getting stronger and letting go of their pain, or probably ready to face it…."

"Thank you, I understand." Diana cuts in.

"Sleep." He said.

"Hmm" she hummed in reply and closed her eyes.
