"Okay, okay. I can tell that right now, you are wondering how I was able to accomplish all of this. So, I will go ahead and tell you…" Alicia said as she looked at Jack, after calming her heart down.
"I do believe that you are an intelligent person. After all, you were able to determine that there was something wrong with your ex-girlfriend. So, I will tell you the truth that, this world is hiding a lot."
"Currently, there are several soldiers in each and every country, believing the they are strong. The competition between the nations is increasing daily, but, that is nothing."
"In this world, there is more than just these nations. There is something called a stronghold. In the stronghold, it contains people with immense capabilities."
"All these people are the hope for our world. And currently, all the people that are leaving here don't even know that their lives are in danger, and the people In the stronghold are the ones that are protecting them."
"Nonetheless, that is not what I wanted to inform you about. What I want to let you know is that, I am part of a stronghold. And in the strongholds, there are those that are weak, and there are those that are strong. And currently, I belong in those that are known to be very strong.
And of course, even in a strong stronghold, there are different organizations present. So, my family is part of an organization, of which I'm not going to tell you the name unless you agree with my proposition, is amongst the strong ones. Even though it is not the supreme one, at least, it is not far off.
Since I already said that all the people present in the strongholds possess incredible abilities, I as a member of the stronghold do possess an ability.
The ability that I possess is to be capable of affecting a person's mind. And of course, it is not like I am invincible with this ability of mine. And, neither is it true that everyone possess this ability. It's just a selected few that possess a special ability, other than the natural strength that they possess after genetic modification or upgrade.
For Celine to do all that I told her to do, of course, she was under the influence of my mental ability. After she had completed what I had told her to do, I told her that she has to keep a distance from you…"
Alicia went ahead and began describing to Jack what she had done, and her abilities. It turned out that, after being controlled by Alicia, Celine did everything that she had been told to do.
But of course, it was quite difficult for Alicia to control Celine. For that reason, even if she wanted Celine to act in a manner that would make Jack hate her, Celine would not do that. It was as if, rather than doing that, she would better die off.
And of course, that was something that Alicia did not want to see. After all, she knew that Jack loved Celine. And for that reason, if Celine suddenly died, it was going to be impactful on him.
At that time, it was going to be difficult for her to get him. So, she decided to be lenient on Celine, as long as she agreed to stay away from Jack. Additionally, she had told her that, if she did not do what she had been instructed, then, Alicia would not delay to harm Jack.
And of course, even though Celine believed that Jack was strong, she did not believe that he was going to be unaffected in front of such mind control ability. So, for Jack's sake, she decided to keep a distance away from him.
Alicia had been watching Jack from the sides, trying to get to know him more. And now, since she had not seen him for the past few days, she had decided to come and find him in his villa.
She thought that it was enough knowing him from just looking, and now, it was going to be better if the two of them could communicate, and know each other well.
"What do you think? The real reason as to why I came over is simply because I wanted you to marry me. My parents have already arranged for someone to marry me, but, I don't like that person.
So, we came to an agreement that I would go out, and come back with the person that I believe that is way better than the one that they arranged for me.
And of course, I was not going to simply search and take just anyone. So, I began looking for someone incredible. And lucky for me, I was able to get you just after 2 weeks when I came to Azima.
The moment that I set my eyes on you, my heart strings were pulled. For that reason, I believe that you are the one that is meant to be for me. Additionally, with the capabilities that you currently possess, I'm pretty sure that once you undergo genetic modification, you will definitely be stronger than the one that my parents arranged for me."
When she reached this point, Alicia was blooming. She really felt happy that she had found what she had been looking for, as she had been given a period of one year, but, she had found the person that she wanted in less than 3 months.
With the remaining 9 months or so, she believed that that she had the capabilities to transform Jack into a person of a different level. She believed that with just incredible looks, as well as the capabilities be possessed when he was just a 'normal' human, even her parents were going to agree for her to be married by him.
Jack remained silent as he looked at Alicia in front of him. But nonetheless, even though he was looking at her, his mind was not here at all.
Instead, he had just realized something. That was the fact that, other than the fact that people got stronger with the modification of their genes, there were a few of them that managed to get special abilities.
Jack could remember all too well that, his memories were sealed. And not only his, but even Celine's. And, he didn't believe that this was something that could be done with the level of medicine technology that was possessed by Azima.
'Could this be the work of a person with a special ability? And, mother said that the sealing of my memory is related to her. Can it be that she was the one that possessed that ability?' Jack's mind began spinning once again.
He felt that the mystery surrounding his mother was only increasing. Even though he was coming to know more things that he did not know about his mother, he was just continuously confused.
When Alicia suddenly realized that Jack was not paying attention to her, she frowned. She took a deep breath, then asked once again in a loud voice, "Jack, are you going to agree to come with me back to the stronghold, so that you can become my husband?"
It was only after she asked this question that Jack came back to his senses. Then, he looked at Alicia and said, "You should know that I am a man. And I am a man with my own pride. So, do you believe that I am going to agree to be courted by a lady when I don't want?"
Alicia wanted to say something, but, when she noticed that Jack had not finished what he was saying, she continued to listen.
"You have said it all too well. You know that I love Celine, but, you went ahead and manipulated her. You controlled her, denying her of her own free will. Do you know what that means? Trying to mess with my wife to be?"
Jack spoke in a low voice, and at the same time, the voice was completely indifferent, unlike the anger that was currently surging in his heart.
ραndαsnοvεl.cοm All this while, he had been preventing himself from tearing apart Alicia. It was just that, he wanted to get more information from her, so that he could know what enemy he was facing.
And now, he had realized that she was not just anyone, but instead, she was someone that possessed an incredible background. But nonetheless, Jack had managed to realize that, she had not yet broken the genetic lock, implying that, she was just a normal human who was stronger than ordinary humans.
The smile that had been on Alicia's face all this while suddenly disappeared. She looked at Jack with a frown on her face, as she could not believe that even after planning all this, added to the incredible appearance that she possessed, Jack was still not moved.
At the end of the day, she possessed an incredible background, and there were many people that were trying to court her back at the stronghold. And yet, here she was, presenting herself to a man, but the man was not moved at all. Instead, he was angry at her.
Moreover, wasn't Jack supposed to appreciate her dedication? She loved him, so, she did what she had to do, and was even lenient when dealing with Celine, trying to make sure that he was not hurt, even though the two of them were going to be separated soon.
From the fact that she had been referring to Celine as Jack's ex-girlfriend, that implied that, she believed that, from this moment on, she was going to be Jack's woman. But, it seemed that she was bound to be disappointed.
"Are you trying to tell me that you are not going to agree to my proposition of going back with me to the stronghold, and marrying me?" Alicia took a deep breath and asked.
