Revenge After Death



"Taxidermies? The ones you made?" I subconsciously asked.

Steven was taken aback. His grip on the plate tightened, and he only smiled after a while. He shook his head and said, "It's nothing... This is good too."

I crouched in front of him and solemnly said, "I don't want any secrets between us, Steven."

Steven shook his head with a smile. The wariness in his eyes seemned to fade a little. "I'm just afraid that you might return to how you were before you loved anyone, Stephie. I'm afraid that you'll suddenly stop loving me."

"I won't." I shook my head and replied firmly, "I love you, Steven."

He looked at me quietly. It was as if he was satisfied enough to hear me confess my love for him.

I ate the waffle I was holding and forced him to eat more before we called it a day.

Sarah claimed she wouldn't take action against us for now, and to our surprise, she truly didn't.

Steven and I enjoyed a fairly peaceful and quiet life in the headquarters of Genome Society.

Our meals were delivered daily, and there were fitness and entertainment areas for use. It wasn't too bad.

"Is she playing house with us? It's as if she's taking care of us for a bit before making her move," I softly asked

Steven.

He smiled and shook his head. "They want to know the key to reincarnation, so they won't easily make a move on us. But they probably won't drag it out. It all depends on when Genome Society will eliminate the Rebels completely before going into hiding."

I figured that even though we were peacefully locked up, the higher-ups were probably at each other's throats-be it Genome Society, the Rebels, or the police.

"I wonder where Joel is locked up," I mumbled.

"Fuck, you guys are living a good life here!" Genome Society's men brought Joel over just as I had finished my

sentence.

Sarah had them lock Joel with us together.

"You even have a gym here?" Joel complained angrily. "Ever since I got here, I've been stuck in a room with just a toilet!"

Resigned, I smiled and said, "We shouldn't be picky. It's good enough that we're still alive."

Joel rolled his eyes. "It's easy for you to say."

Steven looked at him and asked softly, "Did they do anything to you?"

"They've been taking a vial of my blood every day. I'm about to be sucked dry!" Joel gritted his teeth begrudgingly before lowering his voice to a whisper in Steven's ear. "They were even shameless enough to take my sperm."

I helplessly rubbed my temples.

Steven chuckled. "They probably think that your genes are superior and shouldn't die out, especially since Eason can't bear children at all."

"Of course. Hey, what are you talking about? Why are you talking about Eason and I having children-" Joel was flustered as he refused to admit that he had other thoughts about Eason. "You're so vulgar. Everything between us is pure."

"You're right. It's just pure romantic love." Steven nodded.

Joel plopped down and munched on a dark chocolate bar on the table. "Do you even need to replenish your iron

when you're not getting your blood drawn?"

"We did get our blood drawn," I said in front of him. "We're all mice kept within their test chambers now. If we don't find ways to change our fate, all that awaits us is a life worse than death."

Genome Society wouldn't kill us, but they would torment us. As long as we were in their hands, they would have ways to make us open up.

"They're only not taking action against us for now," I reminded Joel. It was time for us to plan our escape.

With Steven's and Joel's intelligence and with me around, it shouldn't be hard for us to escape.

"I'll only slow you down." Steven looked down at his leg.

The headquarters of Genome Society would definitely not be within Huma. It might not be within the country. As such, Steven was worried that he might be a burden to us even if we escaped.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
