Chapter 128: Suspicion and Doubts

Jules’ pov

I blinked again, almost feeling like I was in a trance. I struggled to gather my thoughts together because Blaze’s question had just scattered everything.

"He- he told me my mother alerted him on realizing that something was wrong." I finally responded on remembering how my first encounter with him had went.

Blaze hummed and nodded a couple of times.

"Did your mother ever spoke to you about him before?" He asked and I blinked slowly before shaking my head in response.

Now that I was thinking about it, she never mentioned Andrian for once to us before.

"She never did. B- but Andrian provided pictures of him and my mother when they were young." I supplied. The entire thing that happened that night had surfaced in my mind because I was thinking about it.

I could remember how scared I had been that day, how I hadn’t wanted to trust him until he proved that he indeed knew my mother before.

"What if they were once friends but ended up falling out? Because, if he is a trusted emergency contact of your mother, surely she was supposed to have mentioned him at least once to you. Don’t you think so?" Blaze asked and it slowly started to feel like I was being doused with cold water. My entire insides were swirling In nerves and worries. I bit on my bottom lip as I stared at Blaze while dread engulfed me in waves.

"D- do you think he’s being all this?" I whispered, voice shaking a little as I spoke and Blaze slowly shook his head.

"I don’t think so, but I won’t put it past him helping someone else, you know?" He revealed and I slowly nodded my hesd, the dreaded feeling inside of me heightening even more.

"Oh." I whispered, not knowing what else to say. My entire mind was reeling and I couldn’t believe what I had just heard. I began to silently question he had ever told me and i began to wonder if Blaze was right.

"You see, since you told me you’re supposed to be in hiding, i found it weird that he was helping you find someone to unseal your powers, knowing that if that happens, those people looking for you would be able to find you." He paused and I felt my mouth slowly drop open as I digested all what he was saying.

"He was supposed to refuse to let you try unsealing your magic. I remember you telling me your mother locked your msgic to keep you safe, which is because she knew if it’s unsealed, those people looking for you would be able to find you. The fact that you said Andrian still found someone else to try today after the one who tried yesterday ended up hurt, showed desperation. And you mentioned how he kept trying to change your mind today to try again even after the witches kept getting hurt. If you think of everything and try to connect it together, you’d realize that something is quite off about everything."

My entire brain was reeling. It was like I got dunked into a pool all over again. I could feel my mind turning around inside of me while trying to comprehend all that I had just heard.

After all what Blaze had just said, I couldn’t help but see what he meant by something being off. I had felt extremely weirded out when he said my mother would understand that I didn’t have a choice but to keep risking people’s life because I wanted to unseal my powers. My mother wasn’t like that one bit and if he had indeed been friends with her, he was supposed to have been aware.

I let out a long sigh, mind still reeling in immense shock. Blaze still seemed like he was in deep thoughts, and that further had me feeling immense disbelief over how he hadn’t taken long to connect all of these things which had literally been right in front of me this entire time.

"But he rescued me that night." I finally whispered, eyes still blown wide.

"If it hadn’t been for him, even if I had escaped, I wouldn’t have known what to do or where to hide. I wouldn’t have been able to leave the country. He helped me change my identity and he helped me succeed in keeping myself hidden. I- I... how is it that he’s working for someone that way?" I finally breathed out, because so far, all of this was still not making much sense to me.

When I had been completely lost with literally no one, Andrian had been the one who had come to my rescue. He had prevented me from losing my life that night as well.

It’s crazy to believe that he’s actually working for someone this entire time.

"Hm... let’s see. I’m not actually sure of a lot of things yet, but it could be that the plans got changed at the last moment and they decided to follow this route in order to build trust between you two. After the entire help he rendered to you; you undoubtedly trust him, right?" He asked and I slowly nodded, eyes widened as what he meant began to dawn on me.

"Oh." I whispered, feeling completely sick to my stomach.

"I can’t believe this." I felt my heart start to crumble inside me from immense disbelief.

After the day I had, it was almost maddening to be going through this right now.

"Of course, we aren’t sure of anything yet. Just... be careful around him, that’s all you can do for now." He continued after a few minutes and I slowly nodded before sighing loudly.

"Does he know about me? About the two of us?"

I felt my heart flutter at the question and I slowly nodded my head in response, cheeks pinking a little and Blaze snorted as he tugged me closer to him. Sitting across his laps is becoming my favorite spot in the world.

"And does he approve? Does he like me?" He asked and I felt myself slowly tense up. I hesitated a bit before slowly shaking my head in response.

This time, Blaze rolled his eyes. "That explains it."
