Chapter 34: Chapter 34

Aphrodite POV

I opened my eyes and Leana was the first thing I saw. I saw the movement of her lips as if she was preaching to me but I couldn't hear her. I closed my eyes again and slowly opened them and this time I saw Franco, he was smiling at me and holding a knife aimed at me.

"AHHHHHHHH!" I sat down in fear.

"Hey, why are you screaming?" I turned to the voice that came from it and saw Leana sitting next to me while looking at me with concern.

"Are you okay? I saw you in the lobby earlier unconscious. Why are you there?" she asked. I looked around to look for Franco but he wasn't around.

I looked back at Leana who was looking at me.

"You're weird." She said while frowning.

I touched my face and then remembered what happened last night.

The last thing I remember was Franco whispering something to me before I passed out. I was holding my neck when Franco bit me, I felt it but I didn't feel any pain.

I immediately stood up and walked closer to Leana's magic mirror then looked at my neck where Franco bit me last night.

No bite marks, but last night I'm sure he bit me.

"What is happening?" Leana asked, confused by me.

I moved away from the mirror when suddenly something sharp moved around my neck. What's that?

"Aphrodite." I turned to the person who called me and saw Leana with a wrinkled face.

"Why?" I asked.

"You're weird." She then said to work hard.

"Can you please tell me what is happening here?" She added. I suddenly remembered the potion that Franco gave me. I reached into my pocket and found the potion bottles that Franco had given me.

"Fine, if you don't tell me, I'll leave. By the way, I thought you and Van will see each other today?" My eyes widened at what she said.

"Yes, I forgot," I said and it was fixed immediately.

"Please lock the door." She said and suddenly disappeared in front of me. After it was all right, I went to the coffee shop where we would see each other.

From where I was standing, I saw Van inside the coffee shop waiting for me. I immediately went in and sat in front of him.

"Sorry, I'm late," I said and smiled hesitantly at him.

"It's fine, order yours I already ordered a while ago." He said and smiled.

"No, we won't talk for too long," I said. Shall I ask Van for help? I know Franco is Van's friend, maybe he won't believe me when I say it. I just smile.

"Ah ok, about what?" he asked and drank what he bought.

"I just... want to say sorry for what I did to you," I said that he laughed so I laughed.

"Is that all? Gosh, there's nothing." He says.

"No Van, I feel sorry for what I did," I said and took a deep breath.

"Sorry because of me you and your twin got to fight," I said. "And I'm sorry if I didn't tell you that I like Von. It's just like I don't want you to get into trouble because of me. And it seems like you're okay now with Cleopatra. I guess we're too okay as a friend." I said. He smiled.

"I should be the one to apologize to you, sorry for being overprotective those days, and I'm sorry cuz I know I was suffocating you during those days." He said then leaned back in his chair.

"You know what, your blessings in disguise, I learned a lot of lessons from you. And thank you because you brought Cleopatra into my life." He said so I smiled.

"Think about it, I thought you were the one for me. But I was wrong, the girl for me is the one who is always there when I need someone to lean on. Cleopatra is no fool, when I need someone to cry or lean on suddenly she will suddenly appear like a mushroom and I will sympathize." It's okay, I feel even more guilty.

I can see from his words and actions that he loves my friend, and I am happy for them.

"I told you, you can find someone better than me," I said and smiled.

"No offense but, she's so beautiful more than you." We laughed at what he said. I can feel his joy because of Cleopatra.

We talked a lot about Von and Cleopatra. I found out that their marriage was not going to go ahead because Van was going to marry Cleo, which is good.

I want to tell Van about Franco but I can't because I might just be embarrassed.

"Wait I'm just going to the comfort room," I said, he nodded that's why I was walking towards the comfort room when I bumped into a woman wearing a black hoodie.

"Sorry," I said and looked at the woman. Her eyes lit up which is weird. The woman just kept walking, not even saying sorry.

I just ignore it and entered the comfort room.

When I entered the comfort room, I suddenly felt a headache.

I clung to the sink and stared at the magic mirror in front of me. My eyes widened when I saw Franco behind me smiling.

"The agreement Aphrodite." He said and suddenly he was lost in reflection. I immediately straightened myself up and exited the CR. When I came out, I saw that Van was no longer in the chair where we were sitting earlier.

He did not say goodbye before he leave. After all, maybe he was in a hurry.
