Lucia didn’t turn around to look at him again, she walked straight into the building, seemly unaffected, but on the inside, her heart was unable to calm down.
However, by the time she stood at Daniella’s door, Lucia looked like the tears she tried so hard to hold in were about to burst out.When Daniella opened the door and saw her friend’s expression, worry carved on her face, and she immediately went to hug her. Lucia felt her self calm down a little when she finally felt Daniella’s arm around her, like a protective blanket." What happened” Daniella asked as she led her friend to the couch. " Did that Mr. Derek do anything bad to you? Tell me! What did that bastard do to you?” Daniella was angered. It’s because this was the first time she saw her dear Lucia look like this. Her innocent Lucia, who always shone brightly like the happy sun now look like a sad and hurt little puppy. Oh! My precious Lucia.
“What h
When the door opened, the man was already leaning by the wall, his hands on his abdomen as he panted and winced in pain.Daniella, on the other hand, gave him a Cheque and a quick ‘thank you’ she left the man without a backward glance.The man in the black hoodie watched her until the elevator doors closed again. He straightened up and fixed his clothes and stared at the cheque in his hands. His eyes blazed before a soft chuckle left his mouth. He only agreed because he didn’t want her to pester him more than this. He couldn’t afford to be recognized after all,, but she was actually a bully, and she beat him up for real. Damn! What a girl! Was she a gangster?The man in the black hoodie laughed again, he was amused. Who would have thought that him of all people will be beaten up by a girl in such a place?Ones the man left the building, he went straight to The car waiting for him in the other side of the road.He
On the bed in Daniella's room…" Daniella but you ones took me to a party”" that’s a birthday party, you can’t compare that to a night club”" what’s really the difference?”Before Daniella could answer, Lucia suddenly remembered what Daniella had told her before sheleft with Mr. Trouble.“Daniella, you said that that man who came to pick me up is a prince?”" oh yes, when i was 18, my father took me with him to their kingdom, that secluded kingdomin the south, it is a nice rich country, i heard it has less than 2 million persons living there. Myfather said that the royal family of that country is one of the richest monarchs in the world butthey remain very low key. The monarchs have full control of that country. The country prospersunder them and the citizens of the country love them but we don’t hear more ab
There was a certain man sitting at a secluded corner, who suddenly recognized Lucia. He took his cell phone and dialed a number.The receiver picked up just after 4 rings." What is it” the person on the other end of the phone sounded impatient." It looks like your little girl just walked into the lion’s Den,” he cryptically said, knowing full well the other person on the line would know exactly what he was talking about. He hung up straight away, not bothering with farewells and continued his drink, all the while, keeping an eye on the girl and her bully friend.Meanwhile, at the corner booth, Daniella was giving her dearest friend some advice."Lucia, you are not used to this place, I think for now, why don’t you observe first okay? But if you don’t like being here, just tell me, and we can go back, alright?”“Okay, don’t mind me, Daniella. Go and I will watch from here”.&n
She persevered and pushed all thought of Derek to the back of her mind, along with the strange feelings she was having towards the man beside her. She looked up to the man again and pretended to had heard what he just said. It seemed that the man noticed that she seemed to wince anytime she took a sip of her drink,, so he suggested that she tries another one. A waiter instantly hovered towards them, immediately the man clicked his finger, showing her the difference in how people treated the wealthy compared to the normal people in this place. He was also probably a regular customer, and the owner looked like he made sure this man was kept happy by giving him his personal waiter when he entered the premises.He said something to the waiter, and the waiter immediately left to do his bidding. A few minutes later, she saw the waiter walk back towards their table with 4 different drinks in fancy shaped glasses,, and he carefully set them down on their table. The man beside her the
Daniella breathed deeply, trying her best to calm herself. It was really hard for her to do so, but the thought of Lucia miraculously helped her lower her skyrocketing blood pressure.She was about to glance on her Lucia again when suddenly, another fool appeared before her. This fool purposely spilled his drink on her! She knew he did because he had an annoying smirk on his face instead of an apologetic one. Daniella finally snapped! Why was there no end to the number of fools lurking around this place tonight? Why tonight?The anger she was trying so hard to keep at bay burst out like an erupting volcano, and she immediately grabbed the fool’s collar with such force that the man’s eyes widened in surprise. She looked at him in furious eyes, and if looks could kill, he would have already dropped dead on the ground.Another man came and surrounded her as she pulled the man’s necktie, trying to choke him. It seemed these guys were th
Taking advantage of her worry, the CEO guy stood up and offered his hand to her. “Come, I will help you look for her, okay?” The man said, and Lucia looked at him with some hesitation, but eventually, her worry about Daniella won the battle.“Okay” she said and stood up without accepting his hands.“Follow me” he gave out a wicked smile, without Lucia noticing.“Okay” she said. Her eyes were scanning the faces in the crowd, so she didn't see the glint in his eyes as he led her to the female restroom.Lucia's worry over her friend sobered her up a little, and when she saw the restroom, she didn't hesitate to go in to see if she could see her friend Daniella.The female restroom was dimly lit, but Lucia did not worry about all that, and immediately called out. “ Daniella? Are you there?”There was no response. Some cubicle doors seemed to be shut, but she pushe
Argh!! Let go off me!!! Help me Derek!!! Lucia didn't know why she had to mention that man's name when it should have been Daniella's. She was calling a man who rejected her and probably thinks she won't see him again. Why would she call out for a man who she knew wouldn't hear her? Daniella!!! Help me!!! Lucia screamed as she couldn't control the tears from pouring out from her eyes. The man reacted immediately and was about trying to cover her mouth, preventing her to attract attention when he heard a bang behind him. The man turned around and was already prepared to yell at whoever distracted him from this moment, but his words were tucked on his throat, they were unable to come out. His eyes nearly bulged out from it socket because the locked cubicle door was no longer there. It looked as if the door was ripped off from it hinges and thrown away to the other side of the bathroom. Here comes the Demon! “W… Who…” before he coul
Lucia shivered as her shoulders started to shake. His ice-cold voice woke her up from her frozen shock and her body started to react.Everything happened so fast that she just couldn't process it when it was happening, not even until now.One seconds, she was inside the restroom alone with that man, and he was about to… To…She started breathing fast as her heart pounded loudly in her ears,, but her brain pushed through in processing the situation.He was about to… But then, the cubicle door disappeared and the man too.She had closed her eyes as the man closed in on her and in the next seconds, she just felt air swoosh through her face and the man was gone. She was shocked,, but then relief flooded her body. The man was gone! She was safe now, he is gone…She didn't even think of what had happened to that man, or where he had disappeared to, only that he was finally gone.But
Daniella was soon discharged that night.Mr Scott was nowhere to be found so Daniella called her driver to pick her up. Unfortunately, her mother also came the instant she heard that her daughter was hospitalized and she insisted on taking her home to watch her closely until her ankle was healed.Daniella and her mom spent time arguing the matter, but the end favoured Daniella's mother.With that, Mrs Benita arranged for the chauffeur to send Lucia back home. Just like Daniella Mrs. Benita adored Lucia and she already knew who Lucia was. So she made sure that she would be sent home safely. She even asked one of her female companions to go with her along the driver."I will come visit you soon" Luci
What he said definitely made Lucia pause, but she thought that the more time they spend together, the better the chances of her falling for him, right? So she thought that maybe, the idea isn't a bad one.While Lucia moved to keep her phone in her bag, she noticed there was a bag under it."Ahh! Daniella!" She immediately shrieked as her mind was triggered by the reminder. As she started to panic, Derek had to inform her about the whereabouts of her friend."Don't worry about her, she is currently at the hospital".What he said even panicked her the more. What? Why was Daniella at the hospital? What happened to her? How did he know she was at the hospital? So many questions ran throug
Derek's grip on the steering wheel tightened. A calculating look flashed across his cold, intimidating eyes before another chuckle filled with disbelief escaped his lips.“What an annoying little girl”, he said out loud, then sighed as he lifted his hand and ran his fingers through his hair.“One month? Huh? He leaned in on her and cupped her small face again. “Lucia, are you sure about this 1 month? Are you sure you don't want to start with small steps like a day or many a week first??? You can't be my caregiver,, and I'm certain about that. You can't handle me.” The crocked and playful smile he that he showed her the night they first met, was now carved on his face.“I am sure”, Lucia, didn't hesitate. Her emotions were not easily hidden in her innocent face, so Derek couldn't question her resolve because he could see that she already made up her mind to do what she wanted. As he s
Now that she woke up and realized that she was in a car, her head throbbed in pain, her vision was blurry and her mouth was dry. She blinked a few more times to get a clearer picture of her situation, and she began to remember the things that happened before she passed out.Her hands started trembling a little from her memory, but when she saw the cute and perfect guy seating in front, the driver's seat, her increased panic and accelerating heartbeat slowed down a bit. The man was leaning his head on a head rest with his eyes closed. She would never get tired of seeing the perfection of his face. Be was just like a jellyfish, beautifully emitting it own light under the dark ocean, but if you dare touch it, you won't live to see the other day. And Lucia had the desire to touch this mysterious, beautiful jelly fish even when she knows that it might lead her to the grave.As Lucia stared at him, she slowly recovered from her lightheadedness. It was outrageous,, but
Daniella became worried when she called Lucia's phone countless times without being responded to. And that maybe something bad had happened to her dearest friend. She then decided to dial it again.Finally, the call was picked by just 3 rings.“Hello, Lucia, are you alright? Where are you now? Are you by yourself? Did anyone do anything to hurt you? Why didn't you answer your call since I was calling? You really got me scared”. Daniella immediately rattled her question like a mother who just spoke to her child after a long while. But to her surprise, it wasn't Lucia that responded.Instantly, Daniella became more scared and concluded that something bad had happened to her friend. If not, a random guy won't just pick up Lucia's call just like that. Her brain knocked as all this thought goes through her head. Hearing a man's voice just broke her heart and her heart skipped. “Oh! Oh!she started breathing fast, placing her left ar
Back in the alley, Daniella stood there pounting as the three muscular men groaned in pain, crawling like a disabled man.Daniella clapped her hands together as if she was trying to remove the dirt from her arms. The anger in her eyes slowly dissipated, and she looked calm. The wild tigress had slowly returned to a bratty young lady.Scott who was still there in the shadows, leaning on the wall smiked wildly. He just felt like clapping and praising her,, but he didn't want her to notice his presence, so he remained quiet.The girl then started to move, she stretched her arms am cracked her neck as she started walking away.Scott's head snapped towards where she was a moment ago and to his surprise, she was no longer there. He looked and still found the men lying down on the floor so weak and there was no way they would have done anything to her in that state. Where the hell could she be?Scott quickly ran to the spot where he last saw
