Michael gazed at the sky, his mood gloomy. As he turned to leave, his legs froze, and excitent lit his eyes at those unexpected words.
"Make sure to clean those stains off; I don't want the boss to see it when she wakes in the night," Kyle instructed the confused staff, his lips curled to the side with his eyes dancing with mischief.
As soon as they left the place, Michael walked out, so he had been wrong all this while. A smile stretched on his lips; he quickly planned what to wear tonight and how to proceed.
He humd, certain the universe was helping him. Confident in his looks and the thoughts of failure never crossed his mind.
While Viktor was actively buying furniture for his castle, he checked the ti and saw there was still ti to go to the mainland to purchase so things; he blushed when he thought about the things he wanted to buy.
After changing into comfortable clothes, he texted Kyle about leaving the island and left without waiting for a reply.
The car drove out, he rembered sothing halfway.
*Typing…
"Zane, do you need anything? I'm going to the mainland."
"Ice cream with different flavours in a bucket size and snacks. Make sure you hide it from my wife when you get back."
"Okay…." He sent a thumbs-up emoji; he could feel Zane drooling at his words. He reminded him he had not stocked up on his candies and juice.
"Master where are we going?" Pain saw himself inside a moving car; he wrapped around the car seat handle and looked outside the window.
"To sell you scales…sigh your master is poor. We are family, you have to contribute." Viktor's tone was serious; pain shivered and wrapped his tail tightly on the seat and beads of tears rolled down his eyes.
"Wooo! Masterssss….my scale is ugly; imagine your beast with ugly pink flesh following you around." Pain words made Viktor frown at the thought.
He felt disgusted, "Don't worry I'm just joking." Pain peeked at his master, weighing his words if he should believe it.
"But you sold my scales before…why should I believe you." Pain refuted, knowing his master was capable of anything.
"Why are you still holding on to the past, and it was the scales you shaded…I didn't peel it from your body." Viktor argued back, looking at his beast and asking why he was still holding a grudge.
Seeing Viktor's expression, Pain was imagining wrapping its tail around his master's neck and choking him slowly to death.
It smiled at that thought, but Viktor's next words brought it back to reality, and its head dropped slackly on the seat, sad that its imagination couldn't co to reality.
"And rember I used the money to buy fresh prey for you when you were swallowing it up? Why didn't you speak up then." Viktor didn't know what his beast was going through, after those words.
Getting out of the car, he went to the shore and entered a ferry almost filled with people going to the mainland; he scanned his bracelet, paid, sat on an empty seat in a secluded corner and gazed at the Ocean, taking deep, calming breaths.
"Hi, sorry to disturb you. I was bored and wanted to talk to soone on this long ride. Are you also working here or with the family of the staff?" A female respectful voice disrupted Viktor's peace.
He opened his eyes to see a woman with a gentle, respectful deanour attempting to start a conversation.
"I work here and you?" Viktor smiled back but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
"Woah…I heard the pay is high here…as for , I missed this place after my sister sold it, I just want to see what the owner has done with the place." The woman talked in a reminiscing tone and paused, feeling she said too much.
Viktor followed along, his interest piqued. "You know the formal owner of the island? I hope you are satisfied with the place."
"Forget my nonsensical talk…the island is beautiful. What did you do here? And my na is Alia, by the way." She smiled; her tone carried a hint of intrigue like they were having a new topic of discussion.
"Normal work here and there. The island is a beautiful place; you could hear the waves crashing on the shores and sll the ocean's salty air, and the fairy glow it gives at night." Viktor talked about the island, with a cheerful tone not allowing the woman to butt in till the boat docked.
"Nice chatting with you. I hope you are satisfied with the island. Bye." Viktor got down and waved; with his back turned, his smile dropped.
He saved that woman's face in his mind; he would check her out later; sothing was wrong with this person, trying to fish out information from his lips.
