Faux Vows, True Desires

"Here you go. This money covers the cost of you eating my slice of cake and drinking two glasses of water."

Owen: "This is too expensive! You're a sneaky merchant!"

He took the money, giving Cecilia a long and deep look. He noticed several red marks on her neck, left from when he had choked her too hard earlier. Even though he didn't exert much force, Cecilia's skin was fair, and the force of his fingers digging into her neck had left marks.

He opened his mouth to speak, but in the end, Owen left without saying a word.

Cecilia touched the place where Owen had choked her.

The construction workers were watching her.

"It's fine. That guy is just a nutcase, a paranoid. Don't mind him, I'm fine. Continue your work. What do you guys want for lunch? I can get you some fast food."

"Cecilia, come out!"

Owen's growl came from outside.

Cecilia frowned. Hadn't he left already?

"We'll go home for lunch."

The construction worker said, then turned to Cecilia. "That guy is calling for you. You should go check it out."

Cecilia often called him Mr. Martinez. He must be Mr. Martinez from the Ikella group.

The construction workers had pieced together some information and knew why the Serendipity Cafe had been destroyed.

So, seeing the elusive Mr. Martinez here wasn't surprising to them.

Cecilia went out.
