HEARTLESS
CHAPTER 2

I was thinking about the Ripple Battle in my room, my father called me and gave me a file. I asked him,
‘What’s this?’
‘There are some documents. Go to the Jane Mansion and give these documents to Mr.Bryant Jane.’
‘You mean Annexa’s father?’
‘Yes, any problem?’
‘No, ’
I have never gone to Annexa’s house. I entered the house but was a little bit nervous. Because I heard that Mr.Jane is a really cold-hearted person. A man came to me, I guessed he is the assistant of Mr.Jane by his uniform. He told me to sit and wait for some time. I sat on the sofa and was looking around. Their house is similar to my house. Suddenly, I noticed there was a picture in the wall.Mr.Jane with a lady, I can't clearly see for the rights, I stood up and came a little bit close to the picture and got confused that the lady is just like Annexa. Initially, I thought it was Annexa but the lady seemed older than her. But if one sees the lady in the picture then he will say it's Annexa. Suddenly, the man again come and said,
‘Sir is waiting for you, some with me.’
‘ Excuse me, can you tell me who’s that lady in the picture?’
‘Shhh...don’t talk about this now, ’
‘But who is she?’
‘She is Mrs.Jane.’
‘You mean Annexa ‘s mother!’
‘Yes.’
‘Annexa is fully like her mother !’
‘Listen, young master, I told you to not talk about this, sir don’t like this. So, keep quiet. Here’s the room, you may enter.’

The room was untidy with books and files. There is a readable beside the big window. The window is so big that one can enjoy an afternoon tea there.Mr.Jane was sitting in an easy chair. I didn't go that much close to him. Standing there, I give the files to that assistant. Looking at me, Mr.Jane told,’Peter, ’
‘Yes, master’. said Peter.
‘Where is that girl?’ said Mr.Jane.
‘..she….she’s not at home .’ said Peter.
‘Great .’ said Mr.Jane
I can’t understand what should I say, that’s why I was quiet .Mr.Jane asked me,’ Why are you standing there?’You can sit on the sofa.’
‘No, it's fine.’
‘You are Eric Brent, right?
‘Yes.’
Battles are not easy, you can lose your life also if you are not sincere. you can lose the whole battle round for the insincerity of you or your partner. You are a young man, you can understand what I am trying to say. If you make a partner for the battle, you should choose the best. Not everyone is the best. There is only one in hundreds of people you can call the best.’
‘Can you be more precise please ?’
‘Why not? You made a partner then you should know that, how’s your partner actually! Tell me how’s she?
‘Yes, she plays nice and can defeat anyone.’
‘ Exactly she can defeat anyone. That means if she doesn't like to play anyone with you, then she can also defeat you and can also dismiss you. She’s not a normal human. She is HEARTLESS. She doesn't have any feelings. She will make herself nice in front of everyone but her inner heart is not less than a Beast. If she wants to make a bonding with you, it means she wants your life to make herself more powerful. I am telling you the truth because you are my friend's son.Now it's your decision. I know you won't play a game with your own life. Nice to meet you. Peter will send you home.’
‘No it's fine… I brought my car.
I was just thinking, how can a father say this about his own daughter. Maybe, he was telling me the truth to save my life. But Annexa doesn't look like a beast at all. But, maybe her father is right. She always told me to be friends with her. Now I understand why she told me this. Oh, my God, I just barely skipped a knife. I decided to call off our partnership. After lunch, I called her to come to the sea sight at night.
