Antagonist
Chapter 33. Bridges

...If only that was the only word left....

...The rain made my longing even more felt. Looking up at the sky as if it was getting darker....

...What is this world without you? Just a bunch of trash. Nothing useful, a withered rose. In the room where you look and smile....

...All traces of you are lost in silence. I hate a world like this....

Edward.

She quickly became the most popular student. Things Rachel hasn't been able to do for 8 years. Not even a friend has.

Swaggering? Rachel is not friends with anyone. But it was those women who hated her, perhaps to them Rachel was the leech attached at the feet of the perfect snow prince.

But he is a leech, right? Not understanding everyone's mind. Coupled with if you have a male friend, you will immediately avoid him.

Only Edward was his employer, brother, and best friend. The young man who was eating quietly with him in the school warehouse area.

"Edward, are you sure you're not interested in that person?" rachel asked curiously. How can love risk life disappear with just a few changes.

The white-haired young man nodded."I have enough of you and father." he said.

"Then you want to live like a eunuch. Never felt passionate love!" Rachel tried to smile.

"Rachel..I'm your employer, right?" edward asked, Rachel quickly nodded.

"Look, I have people I like. But I don't know how to kiss. What if he thinks I'm a lousy guy." he continued down looking insecure.

"Watch video! You can definitely get excited!" Rachel is motivated.

The manipulative? Who says that trait disappeared from Edward. As if he could take advantage of every loophole. 16 years? That's Rachel's current age, which means she has to survive another 4 years, to lie to her in order to drop her in bed.

That's enough for now.

"I've been watching but not confident. What if I practice it with you?" Pinta Edward to her.

Rachel was silent for a moment, herself down. Remembering the storyline of the novel more deeply. It feels like the description of Edward's nature is not a pervert. There was never even a single scene of kissing Alira. Because I was too afraid to hurt him.

Waitaminute! Maybe there is no kissing scene because Edward is not confident? That's what Rachel had in mind.

"But kissing.I'll feel guilty for the person you like." Rachel said quickly. How could he snatch Edward's kiss from Alira. There is a sense of guilt as if the couple already has a relationship.

"I have not expressed love. When we were 10 years old, we kissed, right? Just once, you don't wonder how it feels? We do it without using the heart. Let's just say you're helping me with a biology assignment." Pinta Edward weld.

"No!" Rachel answered back. This has been too deviated, what if there are people who see then the rumors spread to Alira's ears.

"I am your master. Follow my orders or your allowance stops!" Strictly Edward, Rachel quickly moved, peeping her lips. Let's just say Edward was a kid, that's what he had in his brain.

But no, the young man held back Rachel's nape. Her tongue entered the lips of the 16-year-old girl. A sensation that is more thrilling than in a dream.

While Rachel rounded her eyes, feeling this person's tongue creeping in her mouth. Crazy one! It's crazy, but why does it feel so weird.

The sound of footsteps of passers-by was heard. Rachel quickly pushed Edward's body.

"Why push me? What am I doing not right? Need correction?" edward pretended to be disappointed.

"A..there's a passerby! You want me stamped as a cheap seductress!" Rachel was going to eat again.

They're still in the warehouse area. Go back to eating quietly, as if everything was fine. Not realizing Edward was eating his food while smiling brightly.

Kriet's!

"What are you doing here?" ask the young teacher. More precisely a teacher in accounting, a 29-year-old man named Cartier.

"Lunch" Edward's smiling reply.

"You did nothing in this place. That's for sure, it's better for your parents to come and accept the rebuke." Cartier.

"Call the old man? I'm Edward Snowden." That's all Edward said using his surname. Her hand pulled Rachel's hand to walk away.

While Cartier, looking towards them went from afar, then entered the warehouse.

Today Flint just came from abroad. Brought some presents for his pet's two little mice. Aye! A white cat foraging for two of his pet rats.

"Thank you!" Rachel smiled at whatever she was given. Remember that! He leeches who hitchhike live on antagonists, but should not be too greedy.

"Edward doesn't thank your father? That latest output watch only produced 25 pieces." Flint is proud.

"I don't like it very much." The words from Edward made, the father looked down disappointed.

"But I love the gift that you gave Rachel. She'll look pretty in a white dress." Edward continued, until Flint smiled again.

Rachel as Edward's sister is lucky. He has a good bridge to communicate with his son.

"Omong-by the way, how's your school. Is there anything interesting?" flint asked, slicing the meat in front of him.

"There! During his father's departure, Edward won a Wushu sports medal held by a private company. The grandiose gleaming and big, big brother also advanced to the podium saying this victory is dedicated to me and father." Rachel's story is full of passion.

"What right?" flint asked Edward. But his son only showed the heart symbol with a finger. Make Flint laugh with pride.

A smile still lingered on Rachel's lips. In the original work even to the teenager Flint rarely met his son, probably due to a misunderstanding that lasted too long. Edward, who had killed Wilmar, spent his teenage years eating alone in silence.

I can imagine how lonely Edward was. His hands clenched, his face trying to smile. Hoping to reverse the fate of death for himself. Or at least, Rachel hopes Alira can replace herself to become a communication bridge between Flint and Edward, if the fate of death is unavoidable by her.

"Edward really said it with great enthusiasm. He said my father and I were the source of his calm. Until getting the first champion. Even when he got off the stage, he embarrassed me by hugging me, so happy. I should've come so we could take a picture together." Rachel continued her story. Flint listened enthusiastically.

A smile rang on Edward's lips as a happy family. Enough with this. No one can disturb his family.

Meanwhile.

The school guard aimed his flashlight of origin, in an area near the warehouse. Like hearing something, but he walked back when he realized there was nothing in the locked warehouse area.

Not knowing? Really don't know.

Cartier wasn't wearing anything in there. Closing a schoolgirl's mouth with her hands."Calm and silent, there are passers-by" he whispered to the student who was still wearing a uniform. But the buttons of his shirt were perfectly open, his upper underwear exposed. While the clothes in the bottom lying on the floor have been wet.

Returning slowly in the empty school warehouse. Silenced the student's mouth using his hands. Irregular breath.

"Griselda.." d*he said, mentioning the student's name.
