She walked towards me having a smile on the face. There is no doubt that there is something about this girl that draws me closer to her.
"hey what you guys are doing here?" Elina asked quietly.
"Nothing just came to check if you need anything" I replied before nick could say something weird but still he shakes his head in no making Elina more confuse.
"Ohh okay thanks but I don't need anything" she replied weirdly while thinking something.
"Say it what's running in your mind?" I asked and her eyes went wide.
"Actually I was getting bored so I decided to go down for a walk but maids told me I am not allowed to go out," she said making me confuse.
I looked over to nick and he quickly looked at the wall another side to avoid my gaze and I understand that who did this.
"I am so sorry but it's for the security purpose" of course I lie to cover up how could I tell her the truth that nick purposely did this because he has doubt on elina. " But if you don't mind we can go out for a walk" I changed the subject and she nodded.
I give a death glare to nick Before going out with Elina but it doesn't affect him the stupid smile was on his face.
Definitely, I am going to kill this guy if he hasn't given me a good explanation for doing this shit without even asking me.
"where you wanna go?" I asked her and she thought for a few minutes before replying.
"Hmm..... What about the park?" she replied while smiling.
We arrive at a park that was near my house it was already filled with the locals, some kids were playing hide and seek and others are walking with their dogs. To be honest, I seriously hate crowd like this not only kids, adults are also yelling so loudly that can easily damage my ears.
But when I saw elina she was actually enjoying like she never saw anything like this before.
"Do you want to eat ice cream?" I offered her while pointing at an ice-cream van.
"Yess.... but I don't have money "she gives me sad smile and I shrugged.
"Like Seriously, Elina? I am your protector and it's my job to make you happy so just say which flavor you want?"
" Chocolate"
I brought two chocolate cone ice-creams for both of us. We sit on the bench near the tree and Elina was looking at kids who were playing in the dust. "Looking at those kids reminds me of Marcus we use to play a lot like crazy when we were kids I wish I could go back in the time" her voice clearly shows the sadness of how badly she is missing her brother Marcus.
"Don't worry everything will be alright he will come back soon" I am telling this to myself as well I just hope he came back soon so I could kill him, okay I am just kidding I don't want him to come back until I know about his intentions.
Suddenly a dog came running towards us, he jumped on me and licked my ice-cream. "who's a dog is this?! " I yelled and a young boy came with the belt of the dog in his hands.
I was angry until I heard Elina's laugh, she strokes that stupid dog on the head and he started to wave his tail very fast as he saw her that young boy quickly put a belt on the dog's neck and pulled him away from me. "I am really sorry" that young boy said in to apologize for tone. "Don't you have-" I was about to scold that boy but Elina cut me off.
"It's alright just be careful from next time " she gives him a small smile and he smiled back to her before running away with his dog.
"Look at yourself " Elina chuckle looking at my clothes, I followed her gaze and there is some pawprint of a dog on my shirt that dog probably came from playing in the mud.
"Yeah let's go home," I said and she nodded.
When We walked back to my house it was already evening. I told a joke to elina and we both were laughing like crazy I dropped Elina back to her room before I make my way towards my room.
I am feeling damn exhausted I don't remember when was the last time I walked these much especially with someone like Eli na.
I was on the way of my room when I saw Nick walking towards his room and now the timing is perfect no one is here, now I could scold him for what the hell he did in the morning.
If I didn't cover up I end up embarrassing in front of Elina.
Nick
I don't understand what actually Andrew's planning is, sometimes he becomes Greek to me.
Marcus, Andrew, Sam, and I were very close buddies we use to spend a lot of together
Andrew's dad was our teacher he taught us many things that only a mafia can teach his sons. Marcus was his favorite student because he has the ability to adapt whatever comes in his way, he never scared one.
But everything messed up when one-day cops raid on our deal when we were dealing with drugs, thanks to Andrew's dad because of him we didn't end up in jail.
Someday later we found out that it was Marcus who betrayed us by calling the cops that night. For us, it becomes hard to believe but before we could do something Andrew's dad planned to kill him but he runaway.
As the years pass Marcus took over on our clients than business and then our reputation he built his own business and became our top enemy. But it didn't change the fact that Andrew and Sam are smart they built their own business and some reputation.
From the beginning, Marcus lied to us that he is orphaned and suddenly out of nowhere we found out he has a sister. And that too when he killed Maxon and still we don't have any single proof about him.
Andrew also knows this but he is doing all this purposely to take his personal revenge from Marcus what he did to us many years ago. The real killer is maybe someone else who is enjoying his life freely.
Still What if Elina is a spy who works for Marcus? Doesn't matter that he didn't kill Maxon but he knows something about us that no one should know about.
But as Andrew's friend I can't take his life for granted I checked every security and told all security guards and maids to not allow eliena to go out so I can easily keep an eye on her.
I wanted to talk about this to Andrew but before I could say something elina interfered and told Andrew about the security and as always he gives me a death glare before going out with elina, which means he is not going to leave me when he will return.
It's almost an evening they still haven't returned I am worried about him.
I was going back to my room but then I hear some giggles from downstairs and I saw Andrew and elina together they were laughing.
To be frank, If she wasn't the sister of Marcus she could be the perfect wife for Andrew they look sweet together.
I don't remember when was the last time I saw him laughing especially with a girl.
I thought to take my leave but I stopped when Andrew called my name from behind "nick, wait there is something I want to talk to you" I turned around to face him but suddenly the fear hit me when I saw Andrew's emotionless face it means he is going to give me a lecture about what I did in the morning.
Before he could lecture me I started speaking "look I can explain what I did in the morning" there was an evil smile on his face like he just wanted to hear this from me, so I continued "Maxon is death, Marcus is the suspect and you brought his sister home, he must be using her to target you that's why I-" he cut me off.
"Exactly Maxon is death we can't change that and I think that Marcus isn't the killer that we are finding but we have a chance to take revenge from him and that's what I am doing," he said looking directly in my eyes.
"And... What about the killer he is roaming around freely maybe he is working on his next move..." I asked him and he sighs heavily.
"I know and I am just waiting for his next move but now go and get our business files and dad's also I think we are missing some points". I wanted to ask him what's going on in his mind but he will never do anything without any tough reasons.
"Can I ask you something?" He nodded.
"What will you do to elina after killing her brother you kill her too or worse rape than murder-" his glared at me with wide-eyed in shock.
No!! I will not do anything like this to her, Never..." He snarls and closed his eyes for a few minutes to control his anger before opening them again."Exactly You can't do this because feelings are started to grow inside of you for her and its growing every day don't let this become your obsession" he was looking at his shoes before spoke again."Whatever it is, you should have to ask me before doing changes in the security system and do the things I told you," He said walking towards his room."Are you not coming for dinner?" I asked him and he answered without looking back."Nah I am feeling damn exhausted but make sure that elina eats something, good night..."This guy literally cares for her but when he will admit it?"Night" I replied back before going to the office of Andrew's dad for the files he asked for.Sam's
"I thought you are coming next week," Andrew said."Ohh yeah I thought the same but I think you forgot to introduce me to this beautiful girl," I said kissing on the knuckles of Marcus' sister, she blushed.Andrew looked at me for few seconds "Sam this is elina Marcus sis and elina this is my brother sam" she handshake with me and I was about to kiss her again but Andrew pulled me back making a good space between elina and me."You haven't replied to me, Sam?" Andrew spoke, looking a little piss."We have the whole day to talk Andrew let me talk to this beauty, I have a gift for you elina" I opened a shopping bag and removed a small box from it handed over to elina.She slowly opened the box and she was shocked yet surprise when she removed the golden heart pendant from it. I walked toward her."Do you like it?" I whisper in her ears that only
Elina's povI didn't want to accept the gift given by sam because I clearly saw Andrew was not happy with it.I Glance at Andrew who was walking quietly while taking my hand in his. He looks frustrated. I gasp loudly to draw his attention he looked at me and his grip on my wrist tighten. It hurts a little bit but it was giving me different kinds of pleasure like I also want to hold his cold hands."Are you okay?" I asked quietly but he didn't reply. I quickly glance at his face now he was looking more worried than frustrated is it because of Sam?"If you want I can remove this pendent" He was shocked from what I just said but he shook his head "No, it looks beautiful on you" he replies while touching the pendant."Where are we going?" As I asked his lips turn into a thin line. He let out a sigh."I don't know Elina, I don't want to leav
Andrew"And who's this pretty girl?" Phillips asked while trying to touch elina, I stand in front of her.Phillips, he is the most wanted criminal of the country after dad, he has bad habits of disturbing others for his own joy."Stay away from her, Phillips" He chuckles lightly."Isn't she Marcus's little sister?" My mouth hangs in confusion how he knows her?"I know what you are thinking Andrew, You aren't the only one who wants revenge from Marcus," He said, looking at elina she was damn confused."What nonsense you are talking!" I scream but it didn't affect him."Elina, I am sure he hasn't told you about his intentions yet" He was now talking to elina, if I had my gun, the bullets were already in his head by now."Who are you? How do you know me?" elina asks him and he grin.
"We finished our dinner and its time to call it a night"I change the subject she was about to say but I went to take a bath to avoid her.'Yes I want revenge from your brother' I wanted to say this to her but I give her enough information and I am damn sure it will take her a whole night to process all this in her mind.I open the shower tap and stand under the water for almost thirty minutes before using bathing gel on the body, the stress within me was still there but I feel more fresh than usual it may be because I told the truth to elie.I came out of the shower, I saw elie is sleeping on my bed, I laid beside her she put her hands on my chest softly She is in deep sleep. Elina definitely carries a different type of aroma with herself that's helped me to comfort but I can't ignore the fact that she still hasn't said she loves me too. "I have to wait for her confession" I whisper and slept with her while tak
"We use a special stamp on these files and there's no stamp on it so, it means they're duplicate" I explained them. I know sam will ask questions about this later."Who was the in-charge of dad's office?" I ask nick and his mouth hangs open. "It was Maxon" we both stare each other in confusion."So you have to say that it was Maxon who stolen the files?" Nick asks while looking at the files."No, but He was the in-charge except him no one was allowed in dad's office... " Sam and Nick shares 'this can't be possible' look."But Don't worry I will think what to do next" they nodded."Well, nick told me everything that happened after I left" Sam speaks. " Are you really thinking to take revenge from Marcus by killing him, using his sister? I shrugged." Yes I will kill him even I have to use eliena in my plans "Eli
I hear him calling my name from behind but I just kept running.Before I could enter my room, I feel strong arms on my waist, he closes the door of the bedroom, pushing me against the wall. I was a sandwich between Andrew and the wall, he moves his arm around my back before I could speak anything he grabs my wrist in a strong grip that a gasp escapes from my mouth.My hand reaches to hold his hands which were on my waist but he doesn't lose his grip his eyes directly looking into my mine suddenly I feel a shiver runs down my spine.He was pushing me more against the wall, making my knees weak, I see his face getting close to mine, he opens his mouth "Clam down I won't do anything" he whispers softly in my ears. Relief rush over me. "I can explain why I did this" after that he told me everything "Still You will kill my brother? " He closes his eyes before answering "No". That's all he said. "Promise," I asked him ra
Elina's povAfter taking the advice from Andrew he told me to wear a blue dress, well I have tons of blue dresses thanks to him but Its hard for me to choose what to wear exactly, some dresses are too open and others are too short. It took me an hour to finally choose the dress I was finding, It wasn't like I expected it to be but It is beautiful and I think It will work.I stared at myself in front of the bathroom mirror, just like I thought it's looking beautiful, running down my hands down to smoothen out the fabric of the dress.Andrew was right about the color it suits me very well "Miss eliena, Mr. Markar sent this for you.." a maid came to my room and handed me the velvet box (Mr. Markar she means to say Andrew sent this for me). I open the box taking out the diamond necklace carefully wears it. The earrings were heavier than the necklace itself. But I feel like it's worth wearing them.
AFTER SIX MONTHSGrabbing the white orchids flowers, I stride straight to the dad's room, sighing deeply, I stepped into his room, and as usual, he was sleeping peacefully.Today it's his birthday but Since the day he has been shot, he is like this only, so quiet yet unable to move from the bed, according to doctors dad has gone into a coma but I don't trust them cos I know my father, he isn't this weak.Placing the flowers on the table, I sat down next to him, "Happy Birthday, Dad see your Son has finally become what you always wanted him to be, " He didn't respond.He's just in deep sleep not in a coma as I tried again waking him up, "Dad, Wake up, Sam is no more womanizer guy we know, he has become more responsible dude, " I chuckle at the end of the statement. Sam swears to himself that when Dad will get up he will show him that he is changed. Completely.And to my surprise, he
SamI woke up in the place where last night I was drinking with Uncle, I know I didn't drink that much that I will pass out, and Uncle didn't help me, getting into bed either. Does it mean he purposely left me here?I got up and made my way inside of the house except for Aunt, Hannah, and Emma I haven't seen anyone, they notice me and Aunt was about to say something when a realization shoots me. I ran to my car, trying to reach Andrew's phone in the process so does Nick's.****MarcusWhen I opened my eyes, I was in a different place, it was a white room, with curtains, and a table next to me where some fruits and a jug of water are placed in the brown bucket as I was on the bed made of steel, my wounds have been wrapped up in bandages and some dry blood was on it.Putting my legs on the floor, I walk towards the door, noticing that it has been locked. Has Andrew locked me up?
AndrewWaking out from the shower, I hope Elie wouldn't have found out about her brother yet cus since the morning she wasn't in the bed with me, it's very usual of her to make breakfast for us, early morning but she doesn't wake up until I want her too plus if she knows about Marcus then I know I owe her an explanation, in fact, I also owe an explanation from Marcus about the secret mess he has carried.Wandering off from the room, I decided to inspect Marcus first, because of his unhealed wounds, Yesterday night, I tried my best to convince him to get a doctor or at least eat something but he refused and wanted to sleep. Anyway.I stopped at his door and thumped gently, I got no response from him so I push the door and finding no one there not even in the shower, his blood which was now dried was on my bedsheets, looking at it, I can say he has bleed badly.I should have to force him for food
"And this dress is made from the finest silk, directly imported from China, " The shop owner, showed me one of the wedding dresses she had, and from the last couple of hours, I still didn't get what I was looking for.Every dress here is so beautiful but not what I want to see on Elina on our wedding day. Wandering around the store, finally, a beautiful gown caught my attention, walking towards it, scanning the dress from top to bottom, and within a second I knew that this is what I want!"This is a very expensive dress from our store, Sir." She said with a wicked smile on her lips."I don't care, I want this only""But unfortunately, it's already ordered by someone else""As I said, I don't care, I can pay double the price, " she looked at me with a shocked expression, thinking about the offer I just put in front of her."But-""Tell me the price"
Marcus's povBastard!Motherfucker!Son of a bitch!What else I can expect from such a cheap man?!Phillips. He wanted to make a deal with me and hoped that I will be with him, trusting him, when he was the one who was watching me and didn't trust me.Fine, I am no different than him but now it's not the time for me to complain about it, I just need to find a exist where I could escape from this bullshit. I don't have many options, but I hope, this one will work."Ohh fuck! my stomach is hurting!" I fake my stomach ache, to catch the attention of the guards who are outside guarding the door, and I guess you guys have already guessed what I am going to do the rest, if not? then wait and watch. "Oh Fuck! I can't bear this pain anymore!"And as my plan, they come in, looking confused at me, "What the hell is wrong with you?!" One of the bal
AndrewThe next day, when we return home, Elie and I directly fell on the bed tired after dancing and all, it was a bit hard for me to take that last night Phillips wasn't there to create trouble which was good for me.Anyway, I got up from the bed, stretching my arms above my head as I headed down, after taking a shower, letting Elie rest till I get back.Today, I decided to do a little shopping and a bit of planning to propose to her to marry me, I can't wait to hear a big yes from her mouth. Yesterday, I said that I will choose her wedding dress myself so I will go to check out some top designers' designs for a beautiful white gown.I already called Sam, to accompany Elie and more likely to protect her, coz I can't ignore Marcus's warning, in any case, I know-how concerned yet worried he becomes when it comes to Elina.I won't blame him. He is absolutely a fabulous brother. An
Phillips"Don't think to ruin my plans, you bloody bastard, " I yelled at Marcus who was struggling to give me dead glares coz my men already destroyed his half body including his face which was now completely covered with blood as some blood was coming out of his mouth.One women woman who works in his house as a maid informed me that he already tells Andrew about the plan I made, so, abducting him is the only choice left for me in the current situation."You made a big mistake, " He mumbled under his breath which was quite enough for me to hear him.I laughed, "Ohh really? can I know how?" I asked, "By kidnapping you? By beating you?""Both, ""Then don't you think? that it's your mistake in the first place? I told you to be with me and help me in my plans to destroy Markers but no you wanna help them, " I hissed at him."Doesn't matter
AndrewHe puts his arms around my shoulder, I didn't let myself show how disgusted I am feeling right now."Look who's here Andrew and his girlfriend, " He spoke, trying to touch Elina which I did let it happen.Why dad invited Phillips I know they both are friends but still?! Even if by chance he told Dad that Elina is Marcus' sister then the thing will take a bad turn for me.And I am pretty sure that he can do that anyway, maybe that was the reason I didn't want to come here in the first place.He continued, "It's not a fancy meeting you here, after all, it's your father's wedding, " He laughed like a stupid at end of the statement."But I expected you here anyway coz where the owner is the dog will also be there, " This time I laughed when his smile vanished, I can't believe just to taunt him I compliment my dad.But I know I am not t
Sam"Elina, " I mumbled, " How?""If you manage to show her how bad Andrew is then I am sure everything will be in your hands, " Uncle's evil idea is not giving me any good vibes, is it worth to go against my brother for a girl?"Elina is already aware of Andrew and our family secrets so I don't think, Uncle, is it even worth it?""I know this will going to be hard but all you need to do this to break her trust for Andrew without letting them know about it""It's stupid, it's almost impossible to break her trust, I can't do that alone, "He chuckled, "It's very simple, There must be someone Andrew hates, you can use that person against your brother, ""But how Elina will love me? if she knew that I was the one who put Andrew in trouble then she won't forgive me ever ""That's the only risk you need to take if you
