Chapter 34 Great Gifts (2)

"Good morning, I left a gift for you in my room. Collect it from Mark."

They were confused but soon headed toward Rain's room. They were filled with anticipation and curiosity, wondering what the gift could be and why Rain had left it for them.

As they arrived at the door of Rain's room, they saw that Mark was waiting for them. He opened the door of the room and they entered the room.

Upon entering, they were taken aback by the sight before them. The room was spotless, with no signs of anyone living there. There were no decorations, art pieces, or even photos on the walls. The color of the walls had been changed to white, giving the room a sterile, empty feel.

The group was puzzled by the state of the room. They wondered where Rain was and what had happened here to make the room look so abandoned.

They had expected to find Rain in his room, but he was nowhere to be seen. They were filled with a sense of unease as they looked around the room, trying to make sense of what they were seeing.

As they continued to explore the room, they noticed that there were no personal belongings or mementos in the room. It looked as if no one had lived there for years. This added to their confusion and they began to wonder if Rain had left the room intentionally empty.

But there was only one thing in the middle of the room.

It was an ordinary medium size box. They were confused.

Why is that box here?

Were their gifts in this ordinary box?

Looking at everyone's expression, Mark thought that they will just keep standing there the whole time, so he walked to the box and opened it. There were envelopes in the box.

Yes. there were five envelopes in the box with each one's name on them.

There was also written on them to open it alone.

Then they saw each other's faces and hurriedly left the room after taking an envelope with their name.

After some time…

As they got in their room, like perfect timing, their phone rang.

Now they were slightly scared of this sound. Whenever they heard this sound on this day, they got a surprise. When they checked their phone they saw the notification and they were shocked to see it.

Because it was from the 'Connect' app.

It said,

[User 'Rain Holmes' has changed his name to 'Rain'.]

[User Rain has Unfriended you.]

[User Rain has Unfollowed you.]

[User Rain has removed you from his followers.]

[User Rain has blocked you.]

This series of messages sounded like thunder to them. They were bewildered and this made them want to open envelopes quickly.

Like what it is in this?

In the envelope, there were some papers and a pen drive and on the pen drive, there was only one video.

On the island...

Rain was lying on his bed and checking the messages that were coming from his phone.

"So by now, everybody should have got their 'great gifts.'

I wish I was there, so I could see their reactions. But unfortunately, I am not there, so disappointing." Rain just shrugged his shoulders like he missed a great opportunity.

On the other side,

In Kaya's room, Kaya was staring at the paper and pen drive with confusion.

"Just what is he thinking?" After reading the notifications she was bewildered. She was confused.

"Why is he making distance from me? Not only to me but also to everyone. He even changed his name." She inserted the pen drive into the virtual projector.

"Let's see the video first." She decided and started the video.

The screen was black.

"Hey, is this an empty video?" Kaya was puzzled.

Just when Kaya thought about closing the video, the screen slowly started to gain color.

A handsome man was sitting on a chair.

Shining black hair with a brownish shade. Smooth and pale skin like jade, and you can see his well-honed muscles. He was just like a Greek male god.

Even Kaya was mesmerized by the appearance of the man.

'Rain' There was only a single name in her mind.

"Hello, you can see me, right? So you may be Kaya.

You should have got my message by now that from now on I'm Rain. Just Rain. You know the meaning of this, right? From now on, I am not a member of the Holmes Family anymore."

Rain just said this causally, but it was shocking news for Kaya. Although she made some assumptions about Rain doing that. She never thought in her dreams that it would become true.

"Yeah, I fell out of the Holmes family and I have given you a copy of documents regarding this. If you want to see the real one, you can take them from fa… No, Dad."

Rain corrected himself at the end of the sentence.

"Now, you can become Head. That's what you always wanted, right? Well, now I am no longer a candidate for the Head position. Your roadblock is gone.

Now you no longer have a brother. Now let me call for you for the last time What I always wanted to say, Best Of Luck, Sis."

Rain with a bright smile said and just like that video ended.

But In Kaya's eyes, It was unbelievable. She just checked every document rapidly, but everything was true.

"I have got what I always wanted. But why do I feel like I lost something more precious? It's uncomfortable." Kaya's feelings were complicated after watching the video.

[Hey, sometimes the closer the person you think is, the farther he gets away from you.]

In the guest room of the mansion,

Emma was just staring at the envelope blankly.

At first, she wanted to throw away it in the trash. But after getting Rain's messages, it piqued her curiosity.

"What's in it? What should I do?

(Sigh… ) let's open it. If it's something precious like every time then I will Just give it to Mom & Dad. Maybe it will be useful for them."

When she opened it. She was shocked.

It was the thing she wanted the most but didn't expect to be given by Rain.

Then she quickly started the video.

"Hi. Emma. You got my gift, right? I hope you like it.

Yeah, that's the engagement dissolvment contract which you gave me before the duel and I signed it. Now you are free."

Then Rain paused and after some time continued,

"In the past, I didn't know, but now I know that you hate men and you also hate me the most." Rain made a wry smile.

"But what can I do? I tried everything, but I just lost everything. So yeah, you're free." Rain shrugged his shoulders.

"And sorry for bothering you in the past. I am also no longer a member of the Holmes Family. So don't worry about your family.

At this moment, maybe my Dad also had gotten the news. Our parents will always be friends. So don't blame yourself. Emma, I always wanted to say something to you.

I loved you."

Rain with a sad smile said. Seeing Rain's smile, even Emma who hates men was just dazed.

And just like that video ended.

Soon she recovered from the shock, but she's feeling an emotion she can't describe, but she can only say

"It's Unpleasant…."
