My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)



"Tremaine!" Madam Quartley stood up and shouted at Tremaine, who was leaving. "Don't you think that I have no idea where you brought Montez to! You went to Yesseca's place, didn't you? Let me tell you, that girl isn't allowed to step foot into our house! I've already found Montez's biological mother! I will be bringing her back home!"

Tremaine stopped in his tracks.

He turned around and looked at Madam Quartley

Hearing that Madam Quartley had found Montez's biological mother, a hint of surprise flashed across Tremaine's eyes.

But the expression on his face soon disappeared.

Tremaine's eyes were as dark as ink as if all his thoughts were hidden deep down. "Grandma, you're telling me that found her, and you must bring her back?"

"Yes!" Madam Quartley replied in a loud voice.

Tremaine then said in a sarcastic tone, "Why are you bringing a stranger back home? Are we still lacking servants here?" "You!" Madam Quartley glared at Tremaine angrily.

"She's Montez's biological mother. Why else do you think I want to bring her back? Apart from Montez's own biological mother, no other women are allowed to be your wife!"

Tremaine said with a faint but imposing tone, "This woman is a complete stranger to me. I haven't even seen her before, neither do I want to in the future. You shouldn't be wasting your time and energy on this."

"Tremaine, I'm bringing her back, and you will marry her!"

The sarcastic smile on Tremaine was even more obvious, "Grandma, I won't ever meet her nor marry her. If you like her that much, how about you marry her yourself? We live in an open-minded society nowadays. It's not a weird thing for a female to marry another female. Grandma, if you would like to keep up with the trend, it will be fine as well!"

Madam Quartley was totally speechless.

She was already standing up, yet Tremaine's words made her so speechless that she fell back onto the couch, "You're rebelling against me now!" Tremaine had always been filial to her, but he was actually rebelling against her now!

Someone must have made him do it!

Tremaine realized that Madam Quartley was really

furious.

He sighed and then went out to make a cup of tea.

Tremaine handed the tea to Madam Quartley and said, "Grandma, have some tea and calm yourself down."

Madam Quartley waved her hands and said, "Take it away!"

Tremaine then put the teacup on the tea table in front of the sofa. "Grandma, don't be angry. There was a reason why I didn't return with Montez last night. Besides, it was my mistake that I hung up on you this morning while you were so worried about me. I should apologize for that."

Hearing Tremaine's words, Madam Quartley felt less angry, but her expression was still sour.

Tremaine added, "Grandma, everything is still in a mess now. I have a lot to settle at my side as well, so I cannot explain every single detail to you yet. I hope you can understand my situation. If you continue to question me further, it'll just bother me even more."

Tremaine finished his sentence in a calm manner. His words stabbed straight into Madam Quartley's heart.

Madam Quartley looked at Tremaine.

Tremaine was also looking at her.

After a while, Madam Quartley finally said, "Forget it. I am old now, and I can't control you anymore. Let's just put that matter aside for now, and we'll discuss it again later."

After Tremaine said that, Madam Quartley finally gave in.

She no longer asked about what had happened the day before.

But at the same time, she held something back.

When she said "we'll discuss it again later", it meant that she would still interfere in the matter of Montez's biological mother.

At this time, Tremaine didn't want to talk to Madam Quartley anymore. He then said in a low voice, "Grandma, you should rest. I have many other matters to settle."

After Tremaine left, the butler came.

"Madam Quartley, I've brought the Mr. Montez back to his room. He said that he was tired just as he went in, and I came here only after watching him fall asleep."

Madam Quartley seemed upset still as she said, "Okay, stop talking, I'm feeling annoyed."

The butler immediately kept quiet.

"I have to have some rest and think about it," said Madam Quartley.

Before leaving, Madam Quartley said to the butler, "If Yesseca comes here, inform me immediately. Don't hesitate for a moment. If she comes, remember to inform me!"

The butler didn't know what Madam Quartley was going to do. But since she said so, he could only agree to it. "Yes, Madam."

Tremaine returned to his study.

He turned on his computer.

After inserting a drive into the computer, the monitor showed two images.

They were the scene on the inside and outside of Yesseca's bedroom.

Tremaine rewound the video, and soon he stopped his mouse cursor, causing the image to freeze.

On the screen, it was showing the image in Yesseca's bedroom.

The lights weren't turned on, so he couldn't see too clearly.

Tremaine saw Montez. He was standing in the bedroom with his eyes wide open and a terrified expression on his face.

Tremaine's gaze fell on the window.

His breathing stopped for a moment.

There was a face right there on the window.

It was as if it was glued to the window, and there wasn't any gaps in the middle.

Tremaine had seen this face once before as well.

But the face was even paler than last time, and his pupils looked creepier.

Tremaine stared at the face on the window for five whole minutes before he looked away again.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Then he turned his eyes to another image.

It was showing outside the window.

A tall man was seen floating in the air. His hands and feet were dangling, and he just floated in the air, with his face against the window.

Tremaine was shocked.

He clicked onto the mouse and zoomed in, trying to see if there were any thin strings tying the body, yet he couldn't seem to find anything. The man was hanging there just like that, in a peculiar yet so unbelievable manner, floating midair with his face sticking onto the window.

Tremaine frowned hard.

This situation could simply not be explained by human logic at all.

After a while, Tremaine took out his phone.

He made a call to someone.

He ordered someone to retrieve the surveillance camera's recording around Yesseca's neighborhood.

He wanted to see how that man had appeared there.

Twenty minutes later, the surveillance recordings in Yesseca's neighborhood was brought in.

When he was installing surveillance

cameras in Yesseca's place, he also installed some around Yesseca's neighborhood for safety purposes.

He didn't expect that he would

actually get to use it now.

It was late in the middle of the night, and two people appeared in Yesseca's neighborhood.

One of them was a young girl.

She was dressed in red.

The red clothing was oversized and loose, making her look even skinnier, and she even looked somewhat hollow.

Red had always been a joyful color in their culture.

Especially on young girls, it made them look bright and joyous.

But when this girl dressed like this in the middle of the night, it somehow seemed peculiar. She looked as if she was a ghost from horror movies, making people feel terrified.

What was even more horrifying was not the girl, but the person following behind her.

He was dressed in black, and his outfit was just as loose as the girl in red.

He was walking in a very strange way.

It was an indescribable strangeness. When he walked, it looked as if his whole body was being dragged forward by an invisible force and his limbs were somewhat twisted.
