HIS brother is not thinking straight, that is what Louis is thinking. Hailey must have captured Edward's attention for him to act this way. In Louis's point of view, she might end up being a poison to him, and that he needs to get rid of her, but how? He does not even know how to persuade Edward and now he needs to think of something to get of Hailey.
"Make sure she does not get out," Louis looked at his brother with utter confusion. He badly wants to disagree with the way he takes care of things but he just can't bring himself to, in fact, that is the last thing he sees himself doing. Edward has been the one to call decisions, he rarely asks for advice on certain matters.
"Where are you going, Edward?" Edward looked at his brother, pursing his lips. He knows to himself he messed up, but of course, he would not admit it. He is not trying to impress old satan, he just wants the girl safe and Louis has been prying on what he does since Giovanni decided to kill himself. He knows Louis more than anyone, he practically raised him, he can tell everything that goes in and out of his mind. Edward's concern is that he may be too caught up with the Hailey incident and have been mixing all matters at hand in one small bowl.
"A meeting," Louis sighed. He knows that his brother would just drink his sorrows away, he did not even like Giovanni to begin with. Edward walked his way out of their home but before anything else, of course, he had already asked Louis to keep an eye on Hailey.
Hailey is still sound asleep in the guest room. She must love losing consciousness because she just did. Louis even watched his brother carrying Hailey and laying her down in the bed. It makes him sick and now, he has to take care of a hostage which is pretty unusual to what they do. They do not take care of hostages, they play with their lives, exactly the same thing that Hailey said. They kill for fun, satisfaction, desire, and most importantly, they kill for betrayal. he just wishes to understand what his brother is trying to do.
Louis sat down in the lounge drinking tea while looking at the blank canvas that he has always been fond of. Other people would think that this canvas is nothing but white, but for Rindou, it shows its true colors when alone and in the dark. It has hidden desires, flaws, and beauty, just like humans, just like pawns. He was about to take another sip from his tea when he heard footsteps coming his way. He had never wished to see Dominic walking around their house more than ever instead of the woman that Edward brought home with him, well technically kidnapped.
"Let me go," Those are Hailey's first words the moment she saw Louis in the lounge. It was as clear as the sky but Louis did not bother listening nor turning his attention to her.
"You're awake," Louis pursed his lips and took a sip of his tea. He has no means of communicating with Hailey, but it can't be helped considering that they are the only ones at home. He just does not have the energy.
"I said, let me go," Louis adjusts his position and looked at Hailey with his piercing purple eyes. Her audacity to tell him what to do is beyond imagination. He already knows that there is a drive-in in which people usually exert too much effort to survive but Hailey is just on another level. If this were survival of the fittest, she can be the winner.
"Not happening," Louis ticked his tongue inside his mouth then sighed uncontrollably. Hailey's forehead furrowed while looking at him. He looked at Hailey without blinking an eye then turned around, completely ignoring her. A little privacy would help between the two of them, it is quite the aura between the two of them that ticks Louis's desires.
"And believe me, I want you out of here more than you do," Quick thinking. After Louis had said those words, his mind flew somewhere else. He hates that he can be just as affected as his brother is. He took a quick glance from Hailey and sighed. And here he is, contemplating if should they remove the air-conditioning in their house.
Hailey scoffed after hearing Louis's words. Of course, it is already a given that she will not take the word of what a criminal says, and top it, the ones who abducted her. Hailey saw Louis's quick glance and was confused then realized how thin her clothes are. Her eyes widened as the blood from all her system went up in her face in a matter of seconds.
She did not realize that she was sweating so much that her body figure and even her undergarment is visible. She was aware that it was hot and did not bother with it because she was used to it, but after eyeing Edward's place once again, there are a total of 2 air-conditioning and that is just inside the lounge.
Hailey quickly covered herself with her arms and ran back to the room she slept in. Louis was just pretending to not notice but sighed out of relief once Hailey had gotten inside the guest room. He could have sworn that it was all his brother's doing. He knows that the guest room in which Hailey is staying has an air-conditioner, and his brother is not the type of forgetting to turn it on. He hates heat more than anything else.
"Damn it," Louis muttered and finished the sip he was supposed to drink slowly in one gulped. Now how can he focus on what matters the most after what he just saw? He felt like a dagger was just pierced through his heart, he can imagine his brother saying how much he liked his morning surprise.
WITH a piece of loud music in their background, Liam and Edward seem to enjoy themselves as they drink their tequila in hand checking out all the people inside the club. "Have you heard anything from Dominic?" Edward asked. They have been investigating Giovanni's death. For them, it was hard to accept that he had already died, but the part that dominates the most is that Giovanni is full of surprises. One time he is dead, then the other he just came back to life like a total douchebag. Edward rotated a little from his right and sighed as he examines the room with a tired look in his eyes. He is contemplating whether or not to tell Liam about Hailey, he knows that once he had told him, he will just be furious with what he did so he really is not taking a lot of effort into telling him anything, but he wants to guarantee Hailey's safety, and apparently, Liam can bribe anyone. "Well, that is un
It may or may not be intentional, and the fact that Edward is drunk, it might all be the alcohol's doing and that what Edward is about to do right now might be something he will regret, or not. But with Hailey being the first person he saw as he walks and switches the lights on, it might just be what he needed for his daily life. He was just thinking of her while he is driving on his way home, he will take it as a sign and will probably go a little overboard.Edward leans a little forward to Hailey, now their faces are an inch away. Hailey did not think this through obviously, she practically let her abducted, who by the way a murderer, inclined in different types of crimes, and the most important is that he is part of the most wanted criminal organization."Were you planning on running away from me?" Hailey gasped when Edward caressed her arms, slowly running down through her hips, and pulls her from the waist pulling her closer. Hailey wa
A week had passed, and Louis has not said a word with Hailey's refusal to his offer and with confronting Edward. Obviously, he needs to do it sooner, though there is not much interaction between Edward and Hailey. He did expect that at least the two of them would hit it off, but to his surprise, the exact opposite of it happened."Get some coat on my wardrobe. We're going out,"Edward said without looking at Hailey. She was confused, of course, she has not been outside for a week straight. Edward bought her clothes the other day, and honestly, all of them are either expensive or super expensive. He must be that kind of person who shops without having to care for the price."Faster, Hailey. I have no time to wait,"Hailey was just about to say something when Edward turned his back at her. She just grinned a little and followed him inside his walk-in closet.Louis looked at Hailey and E
"Why are you deciding things without asking for my permission?!"Hailey was furious and kept on exclaiming her point at Edward's face inside the store that is why Edward grabbed her out of the store."Let go of me! Edward, shit. Let go!"Edward let go of her arms and pinned her to the wall next to a pillar. Hailey's mouth opened a little upon Edward pinning her. The impact was quite harsh, and her back hurts a little."You don't get to do what you want, Hailey. You don't. The moment you turned down that bargain, your life belongs to me. I must have been too soft towards you, but I am not one to be taken lightly,"Hailey knows that. She knows that too well that she barely breathes with the fact that someone is in charge of her life and it is not her."I guess... I guess Italy is not so bad,"she said putting her tantrums to an end. Edward looked at her and sigh. He
Louis left to book a flight with Dominic and to eliminate whoever it is that called the cops which made Edward pissed off. Hailey and Edward were left alone. This is a first, since Hailey is usually left with Louis, and it is not like they have formed a bond or something, at least nothing compared to teases that she and Edward does.Hailey is trying to keep her attention to a single thing and not be bothered by Edward's stares. She can feel her stomach rumbling and she is pretty sure that Edward is hungry as well. With the way he looks at her, Hailey can feel in the thickness of her skin the shivers that Edward gives."Do you want me to cook?"Edward asked looking directly at Hailey. She did not respond, instead, she put all her focus on what she is doing,'Don't mind him, don't mid him,' that is what going inside Hailey's mind. She's afraid that all there is between her and Edward aside from the fact that she is their abductee
It was a long night for someone who is not having a sexy time with their abductor, but it sure is a rather short time for Edward and Hailey. Hailey slipped out of Edward's room, wearing only one of his long sleeves and her undergarment, and the rest of what happened remains inside Edward's room.Hailey did not get much sleep not even after slipping out. All she could think about was the amazing time she and Edward spent on the bed they made, but then she knows it will not happen again. She will not let it happen again.Awoken by the noise outside, Hailey is in a foul mood. She barely got any sleep. She opened her room, and to her surprise, she does not know who they are. She saw Louis sitting on the couch, probably reading today's paper. Their attention went from Hailey to Louis. She can already feel that Louis is pissed, he does not like it when someone bothers him from reading the morning's paper."Why is there a girl here?"Asked Nick.
"No, absolutely not,"Hailey said when Louis took her joke seriously. He really did not care about it though, what he wanted was for Hailey to come with him to London and it does not matter what comes next. She comes with him to London thinking they are running away? Sure. Everything needs to go according to his plan, he did not lie for his brother to watch and get his plan ruined. "I bought two tickets, Hail. You come with me whether you like it or-" "She is coming with me," and Louis knows that he is fucked. Louis thought that his brother and Nick is still in the middle of an argument. Hailey did not look at Edward, she could not do so because it will just remind her of what happened last night and she cannot afford to remember any of it. "Where are Nick and the others?"Louis asked. Edward looked at him bearing no emotions thinking why would he ask Hailey to come with him. "They are gone, just now," Edward said a
THE sound of machines whirring has been bothering Hailey for months. The place she has been living in Manila, or the studio that she rented in which she can pay with her monthly income, is between an electronic shop and a welding shop. She opened her eyes and let out a deep sigh, she wants to find a new place but the rents are twice her income in a month, she would be under a lot of debt if she starts being picky. Her life was stable for someone who just started working two months ago, she could not ask for more aside from peace during her off from work and not hear machines or whatever the shop owner uses that makes a lot of noise.She got up from her bed and yawn, she did not have enough sleep since they had a blast last night. She get a hold of the remote control for the television and pressed the power button."News Flas
After all the commotion in Edward's walk-in closet, Hailey went back to the guest room. She stayed there sitting at the edge of the bed thinking about the decision she just made. She is not fine at all, but being with Edward is what she thinks is the best bet. Something happened already, and the fact that Louis turned down Edward's questions gives the possibility that he is likely to have developed feelings towards her.Hailey sighed and looked out of the window. Not once did she ever think about her life turning upside down. She cannot even comprehend any more of all the drastic measures she had done, especially last night. She just had it, she went on and got railed by a total and complete stranger to her for weeks, her abductor, and to even make it worst, he is a criminal. Maybe her parents were right about her. She does not have what it takes to be a public servant."I really should not have gone to that convenience store," she said spitting out facts and reg
"Fuck it, Edward! Let her go!" There is nothing but screaming inside their house. Edward grabbed Hailey by her arms and won't let go of her, they have been arguing for 30 minutes straight, and Hailey cannot have a minute to breathe and process the situation she is in. Edward and Louis are fighting over her, and she cannot even remember what the reason was in the first place."I am telling you, Louis. Stick your fucking nose out of our business," Louis scoffed hearing her brother's words."Our? Our?! You kidnapped her! For fuck sake's, Edward! I am basically trying to save her a life of misfortune!""What do you know? Huh? What do you know without me, Louis?""I know Hailey. Every single thing she does the moment she wakes up until she falls asleep
