358: A DREAM

A DREAM

The mention of Sunny's name made Raine frown hard.1

"After they made motions to remove Torak's position, the head of de Medici family, Reiz, appointed the Andoori family as their new partner." Calleb read the new report from his laptop and sneered. "Reiz… it is Belphegor."

Reiz de Medici was the name that Belphegor was using as an alias, to be the head of that family, so that he could stay close to Torak to attack him at the first opportunity given.

Torak had seen this coming, yet because his priority to stay in Fulbright city was Raine, he had no problems in losing that company.

And now Raine is strong enough for them to return to red river city, whatever happened to that company, Torak didn't have any qualms.

"Do you know that Sunny's family has been looking for support because their company is almost bankrupt?" Calleb tilted his head to look at Raine.

"I don't know, we never talked about that." Raine murmured, avoiding the topic.

Actually, Raine had heard about this from two people already. First, it was from Stephan, who had warned her about Sunny and the second time, it was from Alice Harper when they met when Raine was buying lingerie.

And right after their encounter, she had that vision, the vision where Raine's hands were covered in blood the moment she touched Sunny.

Somehow, Raine felt there was a connection among these shattered pieces, she just couldn't find the right strings between them yet.

The sky turned dark and the sound of pitter patter from outside the car window was the only sound that could be heard inside the quiet car.

"Is it still far away?" Raine asked Torak as she leaned forward to place her chin on his shoulder, slightly feeling sleepy.

Torak caressed her cheek with one hand and kissed her forehead. "We are almost there."

"Okey." Raine kissed his shoulder, ignoring Calleb who glued his eyes to the screen of his laptop, and leaned against her seat again.

The sound of the rain made Raine fell asleep…

============== 

"Carry her." Torak told Calleb when they finally arrived and Torak had turned off the engine. "And take the bunny with you."

"Huh? Carry who? Raine?" Calleb blinked his eyes as he asked Torak innocently.

However, his question made Torak glower down at him. Needless to say that his guess was completely wrong.

Torak then opened the back seat door and carefully carried the sleeping Raine inside the house, while Calleb was nudging Serefina's cheek, not wanting to take Torak's advice to carry her.

"Hey, witch. Wake up! We are here." Calleb kept nudging her with his finger. "Witch, wake up!"

Yet, before Calleb could nudge her again, his body froze and Serefina's green lime eyes glared at him.

"Stay there." Serefina said coldly.

"What? No!" Calleb howled at the witch because his body couldn't move. "Hey, comeback, don't do this!"

"Don't worry, you will be free in fifteen minutes." Serefina didn't even stop when she said that.

The drizzling rain was nothing, but to stand under it for fifteen minutes, sure thing, Calleb would be soaking wet when he could move again.

"D*mn you witch!" Calleb cursed under his breath.

The rain had started to wet his clothes, yet before fifteen minutes fully passed, Calleb could move again.

Though the Gamma was confused, he wouldn't waste his time to think under the drizzling rain and soak himself more.

============== 

As the night turned darker, the rain continued falling in heavy drops. The sound of the thunder in the gloomy sky, woke Raine up from her deep slumber.

She woke with a start as she immediately scanned her surroundings and found herself alone inside this unfamiliar room.

Raine frowned and called Torak. "Torak… are you here?" However, no one answered her. "Torak?"

Because Torak didn't answer, Raine decided to get off of the bed and walked out of the room.

The corridor was empty.

"Torak?"Raine walked along the corridor as she called out for everyone. "Serefina?Calleb?"

No one answered back.

Raine stopped walking when she realized that this corridor was too long and she couldn't see the end of it. This was so strange and Raine didn't want to take one more step forward.

Yet, when she turned around, she found the same scene behind her. The door of the room could no longer be seen.

The only light source inside this corridor was the oil lamps that were installed on the wall of the corridor, Raine stick her back against the wall behind her as she looked at the big window in front of her.

The scene from the window made herself doubt whether she was in the right era.

Did she travel back in the time again? How could she do this without her knowing?

And the important question was; where is she now? What should she do here?

Raine tried to calm herself down and closed her eyes, expecting the scene would change the moment she open them.

Raine almost jumped in scare when she heard someone calling her name, but she was in pure relief when she heard it carefully.

This is the voice that Raine is most familiar with, and the only voice that she is fond of.

"Torak?" Raine smiled brightly when she noticed Torak coming from the direction of the room before. "Torak, I am sorry, I thought I am lost."

Raine approached Torak happily and was about to give him a hug when she realized that there was something weird was going on.

Raine couldn't touch Torak and as if her body was made of smoke, Torak just walked past her, not even noticing she was there.

And all of a sudden Raine's eyes were flashed with blinding light and everything was so bright for her to see.

"Raine, wake up!" Someone shook her shoulders. "Wake up Raine."

Raine was still calling for Torak.

"Wake up!"

And Raine opened her eyes widely, she bolted up and breathed heavily.

"It's okay, it's just a dream." Said Serefina who was sitting next to her, patting her shoulder.

Yet, the only question that Raine had was; "Where is Torak?"
