Chapter 6

Isabella's POV

I felt confused with Lucas who I found hard to believe. He said he had feelings for me, but on the other hand, he didn't want to admit that he had shared his love for Elara. I could interpret that his love had decreased for Elara. If he had indeed turned to me then I could be sure that he didn't think of me as the reincarnation of his ex-lover.

"What do you mean? I don't understand what you're going through?" I emphasized again by asking Lucas a question.

"Um.. you won't understand Isabella. Maybe one day you'll understand what I mean and what I'm going through right now. Even I find it difficult to control myself not to give you full sympathy and attention to you Isabella. I really lost control and wanted to regain control of myself to be able to think clearly."

"Okay, I won't force you to explain what really happened to you. But clearly, you really make me very curious about the figure of the late Elara." I explained honestly.

"Hmm.." he responded with a thin smile.

"Never mind, one day you'll find all the answers you're looking for." Lucas got up from his seat and immediately left me indifferently.

I don't even understand what's wrong with Lucas. Why did he change his attitude so quickly? At first, he greeted me warmly, as seen from his expression. His eyes radiated a sparkle and sparkle that seemed to say that he was pleased with my arrival in front of him. I think he didn't believe that I was here, had time to be beside him, and chatted with him for a long time. But for some reason after I asked what I wanted to know from Elara. I don't mean from the bottom of his heart. Yes, Lucas' heart, I want to know the depths of his heart. Does he really have complete feelings for me or what? I was really curious and confused by Lucas. His game really tore my feelings apart and messed with my mind so that it was filled with many big question marks. Now my head is very full of curiosity about all these new things. Something strange to me and difficult to digest with common sense.

Now I'm alone here frozen in a stiff state. After Lucas' sudden departure. I feel confused now about what to do besides the curiosity that is increasingly manifesting in my deepest mind.

"I have to try myself to find out more," I muttered to myself.

Then I got up from my seat and walked somewhere. My destination was unclear but I did not move from the Shadow Fang Pack environment. I am still here and waiting for a miracle that will lead me to the answer I have been waiting for lately.

At a glance, I saw Ethan here, too. I immediately rushed to hide before he saw me here. What did Ethan come here for? Does he need Lucas? Or...? Um... I don't know, I better try to watch his movements from here. I hid behind a pile of wooden boxes. Trying to peek from behind here. I saw Ethan stop right there after he walked from the gate over there. I continued to monitor him and remained careful so that no one would find out where I was hiding.

I saw someone approaching Ethan and it was full of mystery that was very suspicious. I don't know who the mysterious man is. It's just that he seemed to want to convey an important message to Ethan. I tried to find out the contents of their conversation. But to no avail, I couldn't find out the contents of their conversation that seemed secret. Moreover, their voices were not as loud, as if on purpose. Moreover, my position now with their position was quite far and distant. I could only pay attention to the suspicious movements of the two of them without knowing what they were actually planning or talking about. It seems like this is related to Lucas. What will happen between them? After the chaotic incident that happened during the proposal event, I became very worried about the relationship between the siblings. Feeling guilty about the relationship that suddenly started to heat up. But on the other hand, I have no fault. Because all this chaos was led by Lucas. So am I in a position to be blamed?

Bang.

I almost got caught when I accidentally bumped into one of the wooden boxes in front of me.

"Hey, who's that?" The man half shouted.

Ethan and the man looked for the figure behind the source of the sound. Although they were still in their original place, I felt like I was starting to tremble. Because I was worried that Ethan would find out that I was there.

"Meow."

"Oh, it turned out to be a cat's voice."

Luckily, a cat suddenly appeared around here. So I was saved. So that Ethan didn't find out. If Ethan knew that I was in the Shadow Fang Pack environment. Ethan would definitely feel questionable and surprised by my presence. He would definitely suspect that I had been playing crazy with Lucas behind his back. Even though it never crossed my mind to cheat or even betray Ethan. I just wanted this all to be finished and I didn't feel swayed by the identity that Lucas' story had confused me. I wanted to really explore my true self and, at the same time, feel curious about Elara. I don't want to live in madness for the rest of my life. Living with a sense of curiosity that has not been answered is hell for me. So I have to find out everything and find the truth according to the facts that I will find in the field later. But on the other hand, I still have to maintain my attitude. So that Ethan feels appreciated and does not suspect or even accuse me of cheating in our relationship.

"Yes, it's only a cat, so I'll go home first."

"Yes, see you at the time we have scheduled, Mr. Ethan."

"Okay, hopefully, we will still be given time and opportunity for our agenda."

"Yes, Mr. Ethan, I hope so too."

"Thank you for being willing to ask for my help."

"You're welcome, don't be shy."

Afterward, they exchanged pleasantries for the farewell ceremony. Now Ethan left to go home as he had said earlier. I felt burdened with curiosity again. The first one was not finished yet, but now there was something else that made me curious. Maybe I would find out what they meant by the agenda they had planned. I thought I would soon find out all their secrets in the not-too-distant future.
