Madness
Chapter 16's

After that, the two of them promised to meet again a few days later because starting tomorrow, the weekend had already begun.

Lin was already saying goodbye and was just about to hold the doorknob, when he felt a slow pull on his sleeve.

Looking up, he saw that Nate's hand was holding the end of his shirt. The man's eyes lowered, his expression looking slightly amazed at the thing he was doing.

"Nate?" The woman asked, when she saw Nate just looking at her hand without making a sound.

"Came on..." Nate's voice sounded soft. He finally raised his face.

The deg!

Lin's heart was beating a little faster. Nate's eyes had blackened, making the woman realize that they were standing close enough.

But this expression of the man in front of him made Lin's anxiety slowly start to melt away. The man smiled sincerely at her.

"Lins. Thank you for believing in me."

Nate finally let go of the woman's hand. "See you on Monday."

Stunned by what he was looking at, Lin could only nod stiffly.

"Yes. See you around. I'm leaving."

The woman came out of the room leaving Nate who looked very relieved. The man was completely unaware of the change in the color of his eyes.

Right now what was on his mind was, how grateful he was to be able to meet someone like Lin, in his fairly long life span.

At least at this time, he began to feel there was a purpose in life again when he was with the woman. He felt happy when he was with her.

Meanwhile inside the elevator, Lin again leaned her head against the wall. This situation made him quite confused actually.

Just this time, he met someone from the V tribe. All this time, he was always looking for them. Looking for someone exactly, and never succeeds.

They are a solitary nation. Independents. Not to be exposed. And what Lin knew, most of them were people who were actually behind important figures.

Vs rarely get together when there is no purpose. Those who have been paired, will choose to separate themselves from their people. Making Lin's search even more difficult.

Lin all this time, had absolutely no access to meet them and there was hardly anyone who could be asked. The only knowledge he got was from his mother who was gone.

Not all humans are aware of their existence, so he himself must be very careful when looking for information.

And now, coincidentally fate brings him to meet one of them. And that guy, not just anyone.

The woman started to bite her fingernails. He should think about his decision well.

How dare he leave this city without any clue as to what he is looking for? Or just stay longer and try to extract information from the man?

Logically, he would choose the second option. The problem is his heart feels dilemma, because this means he will use Nate for his personal interests.

Can he take advantage of the man's loneliness for his own benefit? At this moment, Lin still did not know the answer.

At the same time, Nate was just starting to sit at his desk when a knock came back at his door.

Marcus seemed to be coming into the room. He held something in his left hand.

"Sir."

"Marcus!" Nate greeted the cold man happily.

The expression of his superior whom he had never seen at all, made Marcus slightly fixated on his spot. What the hell's been going on?

"What are you carrying, Marc?"

The man in front of him looked excited like a child behind his desk.

Closing his eyes, the cold man tried to control his tone.

"Felix was able to provide additional information faster."

"Yes. I already know. He called me earlier. He said something interesting?"

Nate received the documents from Marcus' hand and put on the glasses he had removed while with Lin.

Marcus waited for his superior to read the documents in his hands. He saw his expression turn serious and his forehead frowned slightly.

Slowly, Nate placed the document on his desk. The man looked pensive.

"Are you sure about this information, Marc?"

Marcus nodded his head once. Her body looks a little tense.

"Felix dug it himself. He was also quite surprised to know."

Nate's eyes looked down again, looking at the file in front of him.

The information contained in the file has been able to answer the man's questions for a while, but there are some things that are still unclear. Still blurred.

The man clenched his hands on the table. He had to meet Felix in person.

"Marcus. Please arrange my meeting with Mr. Felix. Imminent. Closed."

"good. I'll arrange it soon."

Elsewhere, Lin appeared to be holding a mug filled with hot milk.

The woman was sitting on the sofa in her apartment. He lifted his legs and rested his chin there.

While twirling the mug he had in his hand, his eyes seemed to be staring into his past. He remembered the life he had lived all this time.

Putting his mug on the table, he saw both palms reddened by the heat of the glass.

Rubbing his hands together, Lin suddenly recalled the incident some time ago.

Looking at his hand, he could still feel as his fingers tightly grasped the chest of the man below him. He could feel his tight muscles behind his vest.

Simultaneously, he also recalled the scent of the man when he was on his neck. The aroma was strong and very masculine in Lin's nose. It was the first time he had smelled a man without having to feel nauseous.

Unwillingly, Lin's cheeks began to turn red when recalling the incident.

During his life, he had absolutely no interest in the opposite sex. The incident with Nate was the first time it could make Lin feel a little trembled.

There were several men who did try to approach him, including Lionel. But Lin strangely, did not feel any feelings at all at them.

At first he thought that he might not have met someone he liked. So that's considered it a natural thing.

But as time went on, he had met a lot of people. Tens to hundreds. Old-young, rich, from handsome to mediocre.

He even tried to date some of them, but always came home dizzy. He always felt nauseous being around men for too long, especially when they started kissing their n*fsu against him.

He had come to a point of not wanting to try again. Especially when he was getting older, he also began to find some strange things in him.

His mother who had died had indeed revealed some things to him before he died, but Lin had never taken his mother's words seriously.

The woman who had given birth to him almost always looked depressed and during her childhood years, Lin spent moving from one city to another.

They even sometimes changed their identity, without Lin knowing why.

All his life, Lin had lost his childhood and adolescence. And although he was an achiever both in school and college, but no one ever gave a deep impression because after that he had to move again.

Lin himself had never met his father. He only knew that his father abandoned them while he was still in the womb. His mother never even wanted to give a picture of his physical characteristics.

Since adolescence, Lin has been used to taking care of herself as well as her mother. This is because by the time he was 16 years old, his mother was no longer able to support them, making Lin have to start working part-time and fight for his life.

The woman finally leaned her head against the head of the sofa and took a deep breath. He looked at the ceiling above him.

It could be said that Lin had never obtained normal affection from her mother at all. Make his personality to be strong, independent and not easily give up.

When she was 21 years old, her mother finally breathed her last. And at that moment, his mother finally revealed a reality.

That fact was enough to make Lin's life a mess, as he had absolutely no grip and no place of consciousness to help him through that critical period.

He almost lost his way, if at that time he did not remember the words of his mother that his father was still alive. And still looking for him until now.

Lin was once in a phase of hating her mother deeply, who steadfastly separated her from her father. During his life, Lin believed that his father hated him and never wanted him. But turns?

But still, when his mother died, Lin still felt a sense of loss. He lost the only person who could accept himself for who he was.

Recalling that, made Lin's tears slowly drip, flowing down his cheeks.

For 21 years of his life, he believed in something that was not reality. When he finally found out the truth, he also could not be that easy to take it for granted.

It took decades for him to adapt and be able to accept himself as he is. It was not an easy time for Lin, as he had never had anyone beside him except his mother.

For more than 20 years of his life, Lin had always tried to escape. Escape from the reality that is chasing him.

That she is not a normal woman. He was born out of a covenant. That he was a descendant of something that had condemned him to be what he is today.

And for some reason, when he set foot in this city more than 3 years ago, Lin decided to settle down and eventually used his birth name.

Nate's face suddenly loomed in his eye fertilizer, making Lin blink.

For a moment, he seemed to think and not long to straighten his body.

This was the only opportunity that lay before his eyes. Will he miss it? Of course not.

At least he had to get an answer to his question all along. At least he should know his purpose of being born in this world. And Lin felt, that at his age now, he was more than ready to accept whatever reality he would face later.

Taking a deep breath, Lin had already decided. I'm sorry, Nate, but it looks like I should use you for my own sake.
