Coincidence or not?

"We've been expecting your visit, Mrs. Lim." Bati sa kanya ng isang staff sa library.

Reese was a bit shocked to be welcomed in this private library. She didn't call that she'll come yet, they welcomed her.

"How did you know that I'll visit?" Reese asked them with confusion.

"Young master Rivero called us and notified us of your visit."

So, he's helping her after all, huh?

"If you need anything, you can call us for help." Wika ng clerk sa kanya.

Reese gave them a smile and a nod. "I will. Thank you."

As soon as the staff left Reese, she immediately started looking for books concerning her and the things she's been experiencing.

In the middle of searching for the book she needs, she heard her phone rang. She took her phone and answered the call.

"Hello?" Reese almost said it in a whisper.

[The book you wanted to see will be on the fifth floor at the very corner of the last shelf and you'll see it.]

Before Reese could even say anything, the call got cut off and she looked at the caller's ID.

It was a call from Kier.

What is that man really up to?

Reese immediately went to the fifth floor of the library, there were only a few people inside the private library.

Let's just say that there were at least ten or eleven of them, staffs are exempted from the number.

As soon as Reese reached the floor Kier told her to go, she immediately looked for the end of the hallway and went to the very last shelf.

The aircon was giving her the chills and as deep as she gets, she could see how old the books were.

She can also spot a few spider webs and books almost smell like something sweet and musky.

She ran her fingers through the last shelf and she tried finding the best book she might need.

Reese's fingers can feel thick dust coming from the shelf she touched.

She stopped her running fingers on a book that has a familiar jewel in the book's spine.

Because of her curiosity, she took the book from the shelf and because there was a little dust on the book, she blew air from it.

As soon as the dust was slightly removed, she saw the book's title.

"Blood Rose…?" Reese murmured.

She immediately opened the book and she flipped the pages, the language of the book was somehow unknown for Reese.

She couldn't understand a single word coming from the book.

She kept on looking for the pages of the book and she stopped flipping the pages when she saw a familiar sketch of a necklace.

Reese looked at it's name and she was lucky to see that the name was in english.

"Blood ruby talisman…" Reese said in a low voice and she tried really hard where she saw the necklace.

Her eyes went big when she remembered the necklace.

Hinalughog niya ang dala niyang bag at nilabas ang necklace na naiwan nung gustong pumatay sa kanya.

She looked for the necklace and the sketch that was drawn on the book. It was the same talisman the book was showing.

She held the book tightly and she hid the necklace.

She immediately contacted Kier and she hurriedly left the floor and took the book with her.

Second later, Kier answered her call.

[You found the book?]

Reese stopped walking and looked at the book she was holding.

"Yes. Let's meet up." Simpleng wika niya at pinatay ang tawag.

She immediately went out and she carried the book with her.
