WHAT IS IT THAT YOU DESIRE

"How about I stitch that ungrateful mouth of yours first?!!! Or better yet I'll just knock you off back to sleep. Maybe that would give you some manners. Is that the right attitude to show to those who saved your life?!!!!

Nathalia's overprotectiveness suddenly kicked in.

She was already frustrated enough that she was rudely interrupted by her conversation with Aiden.

Yet as if the other party did not know what was good for himself, he even yelled at her husband, Aiden.

He must be asking for a good beating!

However, Aiden did not pay Nathalia any heed and instead, he only gave her a side glance before he walked closer to the weeping young man.

He did not say a word and just stood next to the bed.

He remained silent while stroking the back of the high school guy in a comforting manner.

When the guy finally calmed down and stopped crying, he raised his head again and wiped his tear-stained face.

"Who are you? Why are you doing this to me??? What do you want from me?? I already told you, I don't know her!"

The young man asked and for every word that he just said, pain was clearly written on his face.

It was as if, him denying the matter hurt him even more than anyone could even feel.

"We are here to help your friend in her afterlife. She needs us to, so she could rest in peace. and we need your cooperation to make it possible."

Nathalia said without any hint of emotion.

This was the reason why she hated this one job of hers.

Mortals were emotional beings and they have tendencies of complicating things because of their reasons and emotions that they wanted to justify.

That was why Nathalia preferred chasing demons and slaying monsters, rather than fulfilling unfinished businesses of deceased souls.

Drama was not something that she could take on a daily basis.

But from how it looks, it seemed that there were more of these that have to come in her life from now on.

Meanwhile, it took quite some time before the young man replied. Yet his statement still remained the same.

But unlike before, his tone of voice sounded a little bit uncertain this time.

And this opened an opportunity for Aiden and Nathalia.

"I-I- d-don't know... Please."

The high school guy said as he tried to avert his gaze. Then, later on, he kept his eyes glued on the floor not daring to meet neither Aiden or Nathalia's eyes.

"Oh, cmon lad. Are you really not going to help Samara?? We already knew that you two were acquainted with one another. She told us herself."

Nathalia lied and it seemed that it actually worked because right after telling that, they immediately got a genuine response from the other party.

"She told you???! How????"

The high school guy asked in disbelief.

"She was with us right now."

Nathalia said another lie with a straight face.

"She does????"

The high school guy asked again and this time, tears started to well on his eyes as he looked around the room.

"Samara, I am so sorry!!!"

Unable to hold himself anymore, the young man cried his eyes out again for the second time around.

"I am so sorry... Sorry. Sorry, Samara. It is my fault. You die because of me. I don't deserve live.."

The young man kept on repeating those same words over and over again until it sounded incoherent due to his excessive sobbing.

"Shh.. don't say that. No one deserved to die..."

Aiden tried to comfort the young man but it only made the other party cried even more.

"Tsk! enough for the drama! Time to work!"

Watching on the side, Nathalia could not take it anymore so she decided to do her thing already and grabbed the young man in his chin.

She raised the other party's face and looked straight to his eyes.

"Now, tell me. What is it that you truly desire???? You little liar, crying baby???"

As if put in a trance, the crying high school guy suddenly stopped crying and stared back at Nathalia's pair of silver-gray eyes.

He remained in a daze for more than a minute before he spoke as if he was hypnotized or something.

"I-I- I want justice. I wanted justice for Samara. They made it look like a suicide but it was a murder. Samara did not jump down from this building on her own accord. She was pushed to her death."

As soon as Nathalia averted her eyes, the young man also stopped being in a daze.

And he was just as shocked as Aiden was when he realized that he unknowingly revealed his deepest secret. The source of his distress.

Aiden, on the other hand, was not sure how Nathalia made the young man speak the truth.

But his gut feeling was telling him that it was one of her shenanigans. The perks of being the Queen of Darkness

"So, who killed her???"

Nathalia asked right way without waiting for the high school guy to fully processed what just happened to him.

She was no longer shocked even in the least when she heard the revelation.

Unlike Aiden who was new to this, Nathalia had already seen a lot much worse than this story.

In fact, she already expected to discover as much much as that.

"No. I-I can't! Sorry. I really can't"

The young man said helplessly.

"No. You can. But you just don't want to."

Nathalia retorted.
