Danger was only a sign

Her pov

"Thanks for going for the stuff at Ana's school for me today" I wished it was Diego telling me this....but it was Martins.

I nodded.

"I'm guessing you deliberately skipped it, didn't you?" I said with a smirk.

"You attended it, you saw how boring it was, I mean who wouldn't want to run away from it" he said.

I giggled.

"I was struggling not to sleep, although some parents didn't even mind, they just effortlessly put their heads down and went to Disney Land" I said , he gave a small laugh.

"Oh yeah, and he class room teacher asked me to extend her greetings specifically to you" I added with a wink.

He rolled his eyes and groaned.

"Another reason why I'm grateful I didn't go, I mean you need to see the way she aggressively flirts with me, it's annoying" he said not so please.

I started laughing, loosing up a little.

"That's funny, I've never heard you laugh" he said calmly.

I blushed.

"I haven't laughed in a while" I said.

"Thanks" I added.

Then, the car pulled up on this parking lot in front of this massive building.

Wait this is also part of this city?

I'm impressed.

I got out and stared at the building.

It was a skyscraper...

And it was hugeeeeee.

Martins interlocked his fingers with mine and walked me Into the building.

I blushed.

He's a really nice gentleman.

I'm only imagining how he's friends with Diego...they are two contrasting people.

Boy you need to see the uncalled attention everyone started giving him.

"Good morning Mr Martins...

How are you doing today Mr Martins...

You look lovely today Mr Martins...

I love your shirt Mr Martins....

It's been a while I've seen you here Mr Martins...."

Blah blah blah...

With their fake and plastic smiles that fades off immediately he walks pass them.

Then, we finally reached the elevator and shut them out.

"Pheeeew" he exclaimed.

"So much for a celebrity life huh?" I teased.

He tsked.

"This is even little, wait till you walk with Diego, you won't be able to get pass any crowd, you'll have to wait for an hour or 4 before you'll get pass them all" he said.

I laughed again.

Then the elevator opened leading us to the top floor.

We passed through some doors and then, we reached the last.

The door opened and my jaw nearly dropped.

This was like heaven...

Golden heaven....

Golden heaven filled with clothes and shooeeeeesssss... and bags!!!

It had everything in it...Mens wear... women's wear...suits ...it had a spar hub...a salon...a make up booth .... accessories collection, both gold, silver, diamond, bronze... name it!!

Shoes collection, both male and female, bags collection.... everything!!!!

"This is our personal boutique and care hub" he said .

I slowly nodded, savouring it all.

"So, go on, pick whatever you want" he said

I turned and looked at him surprised, as if he was crazy.

"What?" I managed to ask.

He giggled.

Then this really cute ginger haired lady walked over to us.

"Good day Mr Martins, what can we help you with today?" she asked.

"Oh not me, her. We're going for an event today and she needs a black dress, get her a shoe, fix her hair and nails, you know what to do" he said handing me over to her.

"Right this way ma'am" she said nicely.

"Wait wait, it's supposed to be a ball kind of event, and I can't wear a ball gown, I hate that stuff" I said.

"Not to worry, there are varieties of outfits that would fit you perfectly" she said and took my hands.

"Alright,get her ready, we'll pick her up by 7pm" he said and walked out.

"This way ma'am, let's give you a bubble bath first, then some spar treatment before we find you something comfortable to wear" ....

I've never felt so much relaxed in my entire life.

I know at a point I slept off and found myself in Diego's arms....

Wait, what?!!!

That's a nightmare.....

"Alright ma'am, let's get you something comfortable to wear" she said leading me to the cloth section.

After trying on several clothes on, I finally got the perfect dress.

I remember back then when I use to go there with my dad and my mother and I would spend hours looking for the perfect dress for me.

She'd even accuse me of stealing my dad from him because he was always taking me with him instead of her.

I exhaled....I must avenge these people, and I don't mind dying while trying to.

They started up with my makeup and hair.

The makeup artist kept on saying that there was no need for a makeover that I was already effortlessly beautiful, but the other ginger haired lady insisted.

When they were done, I looked at myself on the mirror.

I almost cried...

I was so beautiful...

I looked like a goddess...

Then, the ginger haired received a call.

"Ma'am, Mr Martins has arrived and is waiting for you at the lobby" she said.

I nodded.

I got up and felt a bit unstable because it's been a while since I wore heels.

After 5 steps I was good to go and she led me downstairs through the elevator.

We got to the lobby, but they weren't there.

Now at this point, all eyes were on me.

From the stares and whispers, they were probably surprised that I was the same person who walked in few hours ago.

We got outside and they were there.

Diego was sitting on the bumper of his BMW wearing a black suit and a black button up shirt that showed off part of his chest and this silver chain he had on.

He was too engrossed with whatever he was doing on his phone to have noticed my presence.

Martins on the other hand wore the same thing but with a black tie.

He was relaxing on the car with their body guards surrounding them.

"We're here sirs" The ginger haired lady said, getting their attention.

They looked up.

I saw the way Martins face changed into a pleasant smile...

Diego? he could hide things...he was talented at hiding emotions...gushhh.

I was his expression, he was impressed, but then he quickly changed it and acted all normal.

"Veronica you did an explosive job on her , like oh my God I can't even recognize her" Martins said smiling.

"Thank you sir, we are best at what we do" she said with a smile and left.

I had on me this black spaghetti hand leather dress that stopped above my knee, black heels and my dirty blonde hair was well straighten and arranged.

The makeup was nude and beautiful, I knew I was beautiful, whether Diego says it or not.

But it wouldn't hurt if he just says it for once tho.

"You look amazing Bella, I'm wowed honestly" Martins complemented.

I smiled.

"Thank you" I said.

"Alright, alright, let's get going" Diego said entering the car.

I got into the middle,in between the both of them.

Then, we took off.

"Okay so they're some stuffs I need to tell you about" Diego said getting his eyes off his phone.

I nodded.

"Now there's a massive probability that your enemy.... whoever he is...will be present tonight or maybe his ally, now first of all, put this on" he said handing me his ring.

I took it from him.

"What's this for?" I asked.

It had the initial 'DD' on it with gold.

"It's a legal sign to show that you're my property, and no one has any permission or whatsoever to hurt you" he explained.

I nodded and put it on.

"Now, a lot of people think you're dead right? now this is the perfect opportunity to show them that you aren't and now coming out publicly is like a signal telling your enemy that you aren't scared anymore and that you're ready to face him. So tonight you have to look and talk very intimidating, make them feel like you have your plans all set up and that you aren't afraid of anything, do you understand? " he asked.

I sighed and nodded.

"Now don't be scared, I'm dreaded in this country, no one would dare think of hurting you, not when you're with me" he said and I nodded.

"Thank you" I said.

He didn't respond, he just went back to his phone.

In as much as he acts like he's all though and all and like he doesn't like me, he's still caring.

Don't think about it too much Bella... don't think about it too much at all.

It was either he was doing all this just so I can come for the event with him just so people wouldn't think he's gay.

Come to think about it, what if he's gay?

Naaa, that's impossible, he has a daughter and I'm pretty sure he has a wife too...or girlfriend.
