The Last Embrace Chapter 461
Advertisement
After she left Adam in the prison room, Jessy teleported back into Amanda's apartment in her invisible form.
She landed in the living room, it was dark.
Maybe Amanda has fallen asleep already?
There are only two bedrooms in the house. She went to the first room and saw Amanda still awake, typing on her laptop, while her son was sleeping soundly on the bed.
Jessy decided to come back thirty minutes later, maybe Amanda was already sleeping during that time.
She went back to the living room and settled on the cozy sofa.
She had to mute her phone, she doesn't want the phone to ring suddenly while she was spying on the woman.
A few minutes later.
Jessy looked up at the wall clock near the window and saw that it's already 11:00 in the evening.
She goes back to the bedroom to check on Amanda. She found the woman already lying on the bed preparing to sleep.
The lampshade beside the bed was giving the entire room a warm glow.
Jessy wastes no time...
She waved her hand to the occupants of the bed and freezes them on the spot.
Jessy went to the woman's side and placed her hands on Amanda's head and starts reading her memory...
Thirty minutes later.
Jessy can't see any indication that Amanda and her father were seeing each other or they have communication through the years.
She had seen the photo of Jason Garcia.
Although she saw that Amanda meets a lot of people in her memory...
She can't see Jason's face in her daughter's recent memory.
Hmm, looks like Amanda no longer knows where her father is, however she noticed that Amanda was always logging into this dating site and regularly chatted with a woman online. And that woman invited her to a birthday party that will be held out of town, tomorrow Saturday, the celebration will start at lunchtime and will last until the evening.

That was the last thing the woman and Amanda were chatting about.
Since she still has no leads, Jessy has no choice but to invite herself to the party.
She will just wake up early morning tomorrow and come back here to travel with the mother and son.
She unfreezes Amanda and her son and exited the room to teleport back into her bedroom in the mansion.
A few minutes later, Jessy landed in her bedroom, she went inside the bathroom to clean herself and then jumped into her bed to sleep.
She set the alarm on her phone at 7:00 in the morning and shut her eyes to sleep.
...
The next day.
Jessy turns off the alarm on her phone the moment it produces its first ring.
She hurriedly went inside the bathroom and took a quick bath.
It took only thirty minutes for her to finish bathing, combing her hair, and donning fresh clothes.
Done dressing up, she immediately turned herself into her invisible form and teleported into Amanda's apartment. She landed in the living room and found the mother and son already awake.
They were eating breakfast on the dining table.
Jessy went back to the living room to wait for them there. She saw one backpack ready for travel in the living room.
She exited the house and hovered in the air, watching the houses and buildings below her.
Thirty minutes later, Amanda and her son exited the house and flagged a taxicab.
They went to a bus station nearby.
From the station, they rode the bus heading to Santa Monica.
Jessy followed the bus in the air.
One hour later, they were already exiting the city proper and moving ahead to the countryside where the long stretch of magnificent green fields can be seen along the highway.
It was a refreshing and relaxing journey.
Jessy was enjoying it, especially that the weather wasn't too hot, she welcomes the cool breeze of the wind kinds of pleasant and soothing to her skin.

Two hours later.
The bus made a stop at the Santa Monica Bus Station.
Amanda and her son flagged a taxicab.
Jessy followed the vehicle above in the open air.
Thirty minutes later.
The taxi stopped in front of a bungalow house.
Amanda and her son exited the taxicab and a middle-aged woman opened the door of the house.
The woman and Amanda hugged each other, and the visitors were being ushered inside the house.
Jessy looked around her...
For a birthday party, this is one event that doesn't look like it.
She went to an open window and took a peek inside the house.
Hmm...there were indeed balloons, a cake and some dishes prepared in the table.
She saw the woman, Amanda, and the boy sitting on the sofa in the living room.
Besides them, she also saw a clown wearing a yellow overall costume. The clown was wearing a baseball hat on his head and his face was painted with bright colors such as yellow, red, and pink. The clown was touching the boy's head affectionately.
Then the clown put the boy in his lap, they messed around with each other, and their laughter vibrated around the living room.
She looked around her, she noticed that the nearest neighbor was about 40 to 50 meters away from the house.
She was expecting more children or visitors will arrive later to attend the party.
Jessy went to the shade under an oak tree and sat on the wooden chair. She will just wait here and observe what's gonna happen later.
Dang!
She's getting hungry! She hadn't eaten anything for breakfast yet.
She rose in the air and look far and wide. She has to find a small eatery or restaurant along the highway.
She recalled that she saw a restaurant along the highway earlier.
Jessy zoomed to the highway and saw a gasoline station and restaurant a few meters away from each other.
She hovered around the gasoline station. She found an empty toilet, she entered it... inside she transformed into her visible self.
Done with the transformation, she exited the toilet and sauntered towards the restaurant. She went inside, ordered some food, and pay the cashier what she owed and brought the tray containing her food on the first table near the door.
She just ordered Potato Salad and Yellow Squash Soup, she picked up the spoon and tasted the potato salad, then the soup, in fairness, they tasted flavorful!
Her phone starts ringing...she answered it.
"Hello Partner, where are you?" Oliver asked.
"I'm at Santa Monica, outside the city proper," she answered.
"Huh? What are you doing there?" he inquired in confusion.
"It's related to the job. I will finish my lunch first. I will call you later and explain everything," she said.
"Okay, enjoy your lunch. I will wait for your call. Bye!" Oliver said.
"Bye!" Jessy ended the call and put her phone back inside her sling bag.
She resumed eating her lunch.
A few minutes later, she was done devouring her food.
She exited the restaurant, walked a few meters away from the restaurant, and called Oliver.
"Spill the beans, partner! Do you have a strong lead why you are in Santa Monica right now?" Oliver asked excitedly.
Jessy shook her head. "I dunno. I'm not sure. I followed Amanda and her son, here. They're attending a birthday celebration of a friend? I will know later. I will call you again if something good will come up. Bye... partner!"
"Bye," Oliver replied.
Jessy went back to the toilet.
Inside the toilet, she transformed into her invisible self and teleported back into the house where Amanda and her son were staying.

Everyone is a Superhero! Apart from me
Welcome to Loktharma, where everybody is a superhero from birth. That makes Eugene De Lavet the most special of them all. At eighteen years old, he still has no clue what his superpower is. Loktharma has never been a fair world. There are Worldbreakers who were born to brandish the power of the universe, warp time-space, destroy lands and continents. There are Craftmasters who control the elements and terrorize countries with their might and wits. There are Commoners who are only gifted with power for the finer arts, architecture, military arts, or small-scale elemental manipulation. Even in an unjust world like Loktharma, there is always one constant: everyone is assigned a Flair since birth; the power to do something extraordinary. And then there's Eugene. He's been running around in a secluded forest since birth, training and sparring his ass off. While he can wield a blade better than most at his age, he certainly can't throw a giant boulder using the power of his mind, or turn his skin into diamonds. He has no Flair, no purpose for leveling up his stats, and no idea why General Rizeni Baggardo keeps him confined inside a forest for eighteen years. At least until Lord Pyro—the Craftmaster of Tailiah—unleashes his fury on the forest, searching for a treasure Eugene doesn't even know exists. On a frantic escape for his life, Eugene starts to realize he was a part of something he's been completely oblivious to until now. Along with his companions, Melodi and Azra, he travels the land and unveils the secrets of the world. [The story will be told primarily through the lenses of three main characters, with occasional side character POV chapters. It also draws inspiration from Japanese shounen. So only proceed if you're cool with these aspects.]

Martial Family
Shi Yan was a lonely orphan boy. That was only till he met an injured fox hiding under the bushes, whimpering. After much care and concern, the fox soon became his irreplaceable kin. When the situation was just starting to turn colourful, Mistress of the Orphanage found the little fox hiding under Shi Yan's bed. After the little fox-faced relentless torture and abuse, Shi Yan took revenge. The youth stole from the Mistress and ran off. With only the fox in his arm and a small pouch of stolen goods, he never looked back. *Well, I tried... This story is written in my spare time just for fun. It's very experimental so readers; do note. There are major changes in writing style within the series as I keep testing things out. Of course, that does not mean that the story actually deviates from its intended progress. It just means that your reading experience may fluctuate quite often... Anyways, I hope you enjoy this story. :D p.s. not sure if there will be any sex scene in this novel but the boy starts off as 7... so... long time till we get there. May have lollies though!

Changement : Version Pile [French]
Notice: This story is in French, not in english, mainly because of my poor english. I may translate it later if I get better, and hopefully I will. _ Les cris de souffrance résonnent dans ses oreilles, dans sa tête et dans son coeur. Cette dernière image, ces derniers instants, ces morts incompréhensible, rien ne sera plus jamais pareil pour Nils Nocquat. Il sombre, et dans les ténèbres, découvre la fache cachée de son monde. Qui est coupable? Démon, Ange et autres Sonen, tous se renvoient la faute, et maintenant, Nils Change, il doit faire un choix. Indécis, il lance une pièce. Pile. Il a choisi son camp. Il deviendra un Démon, le meilleur ou le pire de tous, ce n'est qu'une question de point de vue. - Author's note: this story is a concept. During the first chapter, the main character is faced with a major decision, which will change his life forever, and, not knowing what to do, he decide to play heads or tails, and let fate choose for him. And so there will be two versions of this story, one for each of the result, and their consequences for the main character, as well as all those around him. Here, he got tails. Note de l'auteur: Comme dit plus haut, cette histoire sera en français, car je ne suis pas assez bon en anglais. De plus, cette histoire est un concept un peu particulier, le personnage principal va se retrouver face à un choix décisif qui va changer sa vie pour toujours, et, ne savant pas que faire, il va jouer à pile-ou-face, en laissant le destin décider pour lui. Il y a donc deux versions de cette histoire, une pour chacun des résultats de son lancer. Lien de l'autre version : https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/28318/changement-version-face-french Je vous encourage à ne pas lire les deux versions, ou en tout cas, à ne pas les lire en même temps. Elle sont assez peu similaires, mais des choses vont, logiquement, être répétées, et les confusions risquent d'être rapides, surtout au début des histoires. Dans tout les cas, ces deux histoires vont s'éloigner assez rapidement, tout en restant intrinsèquement liées par leurs personnage principal. Libre à vous de choisir la version qui vous plaît le plus, sachant que vous n'aurez pas besoin de lire les deux pour comprendre toutes les intrigues, elles sont absolument indépendantes l'une de l'autre. Le seul chapitre identique dans les deux versions est le prologue. C'est la deuxième fois maintenant que je publie quelque chose que j'ai écrit, mais ça ne me rends pas meilleur en terme d'orthographe et de grammaire, donc si vous relevez une erreur, où même si vous remarquez des incohérences, n'hésitez surtout pas à me le faire remarquer. Toute critique, qu'elle soit positive ou négative, est appréciée. En terme de rythme de publication, je pense sortir un chapitre par semaine dans chacune des deux histoires.
