Episode 10

Where he has gone. I should check where he is going, maybe I will find something. I started looking for him then I saw he was going in the direction of the local market, I followed him, he was looking everywhere like he was trying to find someone discretely. Then I noticed two men followed him, and they all went inside the alley. I got worried if Mike is in any kind of problem. I followed them to the alley, but there was no one.(mumbled)How can it be possible, I saw them clearly that they came here. Something fishy, I should return. Then Mike suddenly appeared and asked me why I'm following him. Seeing him alright, I feel relieved, I asked him why those 2 men were following you and where you went, (in mind)It's the first time I'm seeing his eyes cold and so are his words. He said his friend lives nearby, so he came to meet him because his health is not good. But why you were following me. Then that guy appeared from nowhere and said it's a bad habit to follow someone like this. He asked mike to go to the office, when I was about to follow him and talked, that stranger stopped me and said "You won't get what you wanted to know". Your investigation is finished. See you after the 20th February month. Just be prepared to see the hell from your own eyes. Huh! What do you mean? That man was gone. I went to Mike's office and asked in reception, but the receptionist said he left his job 1 week ago and said he was even arrested by police for drug smuggling and antiques too. I called Xhang Wei, but his phone was switched off. I went to meet the director and I found out that he died last night because of cardiac arrest. I went to the hospital and checked on him, Eh! I can feel the words written on his palm but why not visible.

After feeling the words,it was written as "Aquamarine".

What!!! This is my birthstone. Does that receptionist mean that Mike has my birthstone. Yeah, it's possible, but how he got my birthstone. Without my birthstone I can't prove that I'm the real queen. Even if my blood is royal. Shit!shit! How can it happen I can't even find Winnie. Start crying and sitting on the bench. Why is everything in the mess now I'm missing Xhang Wei. Then a small kid came to me and said big girls were not allowed to cry and should always look confident, so that no one can find her weakness.

I looked at her and smiled, then I gave her some candies. She got enlightenment.(in mind)Yeah! She is right, even if I don't have my birthstone, but I should look confident, to let them know that I'm not weak.

I'll go to the first research center, maybe I'll get some lead. I reached research center.(in other side, every news was about director's death) .my colleagues saw me and asked if I'm alright now, they after talking about Chief and Winnie incidence, they were clueless too but one of them said she heard their talks by chance, and they were talking about something like Act... Aquarium...maybe, I don't hear clearly, but words are similar like that. Then I said maybe Aquamarine. She said yes yes. After that the director called everyone in the lab, so she didn't know about it later. One colleague was talking to another colleague that people used to say aquamarine is the birthstone of the future queen of the cosmic Ocean, the other one said yeah you're right but how can it be possible. Those are just stories. Don't believe it. And even if the story is real, you think the queen is careless to lose such an important thing. Yeah, you're right. Then I went to the Director's office to look for more leads.

I checked his office but didn't find anything. But when I was about to go out of the office I saw a silver fin scale which is only present in aquatic animals but as soon as I hold it, it turns black, it means the scales are of ocean traitor. But who is that person, I can't find. I took that scale and went home.

Let's make a bet Nuo. Called Mike, Hello! Mike helps me...my body is feeling very hot like I'm in a stream of hot lava. S.sorry to disturb you, but Wei is not available now. I can only ask you for help. Please. Buy some medicine for me when you come. He said okay and not to worry, he's on way.

(after 10 mins)

I opened the door and started my Oscar level drama, I fell while opening the door, and he held me and took me to the seat on the sofa. I can see, he is very worried about me. He touched my head and asked me to take medicine then he bought some ice from the refrigerator. He kept putting ice clothes on my head to lower the temperature. At last, I started to fall asleep, he took me to the bedroom. I heard he called someone and said "It's all because of you, she got a fever and became pale and weak. If anything happens to her, I will kill you. I helped you and did everything as you said, but in return what you did to her. You said she will be alright".(While closing eyes)Who is he talking to. Is he talking to that strange man.

(After 1 day)

What the hell, why I'm like this, it's been 1 day but no one came. Should I stop my act? Sometimes I feel like maybe mike is innocent, but it's hard to believe that he is involved with wrong doings. I heard a doorbell ring. I closed my eyes, and then I heard Mike say she's okay for now. Then I heard footsteps coming towards me. He touched my head.(while sleeping)Eh! Why he's touch feel familiar to me, I'll open eyes.(slowly open eyes)I got shocked, he is no other than but Xhang Wei.
