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
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
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
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
A Thousand years after Derek received the prophecy that Lucia was the one to kill him, finally Lucia was born.Lucia was already 22 years and was already a graduate but had no male or other female friends except from Daniella. She grew up in a peaceful, loving family, and she has grown up to be a good girl aside from fighting those who wants to harm her. Some even compared her to an untainted snow, well and pure, but some mocked her, calling her little Monster.As she was growing up, Lucia had gotten used to most people mocking her, but her grandparents always encouraged and advised her not to let the words of people break her down. She was trained not to keep a negative mindset, and she has decided that there was no way she would let those people break her down.She had her reason of why she had never had any male friend, even now that she is already 22 years. When she was 17 she realized that she had developed a trauma, she never wanted to become use to any male
Lucia sat on a chair while the children were outside playing. It was her spare time at work. She needed to think. All that happened that faithful night she met Derek by coincident at a garage where she parked her car never left her head. She could remember how she was humiliated when she walked up to a stranger, telling him she wants to be his girlfriend. When she remembered how he called her unattractive, she just couldn't believe she really did such a thing. She actually did something so outrageous like that? Now that she pondered about it, she could not explain where she got her bravery to approach him, even seeing the kind of man he is. Was she really desperate? Lucia was aware that what she did that very day was pure madness, offering herself to be his girlfriend. Deep in her heart, she didn’t regret it but for the fact that, that stranger rejected her, unexpectedly motivated her. She thought that the kind of man she was looking for was him. A heartless man
Her friend Daniella was strikingly rich, she didn’t know why the both of them who were worlds apart became best of friends. Daniella, during her years in college, she was envied by many. She was pretty, super rich and had numerous suitors. However, she was alone. Only boys who want to hit on her approach her, unlike the girls who were so much afraid of her because of her father’s wealth and her new way of fighting those she sees as a threat. Lucia really did a fantastic job on Daniella. Daniella was no longer the soft girl she used to be back then, she knew that for her to survive, she had to fight.Back in the school, the students see and call Lucia Daniella's maid, and she wouldn’t blame them because she really did look like a maid. She could not compare herself to the daughter of one of the richest men. Lucia didn’t mind them because she knew that Daniella was a good person and will continue to be her friend, regardless of what people say.
“Alright, I have lost my patience girl, so now you have to talk.” She narrowed her eyes around. “OK fine. Like I was saying, I found a man.” Daniella choked again. “(laughing) this is unbelievable, who is he? Who is this man that has caught my dearest Lucia's eyes? Huh?” Daniella was so excited. “Actually, I failed to get his name, it all happened so fast. But his surname is Derek. I heard someone call him that name the first time I saw him.” Lucia’s respond made Daniella pout but was quick to bounce back in being excited and asked her about how and when she met him. Lucia was quick to tell her where and how she met him but of course she didn’t tell her about the drama that happened, about how she was called unattractive and was seen as a kid. “ The man, he is supper handsome. I don’t even know if he is real because his beauty is something else. He looks like a celebrity, if he really is, I would have heard o
Lucia went straight to the place where she had kept the number safe, she took it out and typed the number and then saved it as Mr. Stranger.She wanted to message him, but she doesn’t know what exactly to say. Should she shamelessly ask for Mr. Derek's house address? No, that would be creepy! But how then would she meet him?Before she could realize it, she drifted to sleep without accomplishing her goal for the night. She couldn’t send Mr. Stranger any single message at the end. The next morning, she woke up early as usual, ate breakfast with her family and dressed to work after she must have helped her grandmother do the house chores. Off course the woman didn’t dare to refuse because her strength wasn't there as usual. And she needed assistance. As she arrived in the orphanage, She had a good time with the children that day. As always, she felt like she was filled with lots of energy. Perhaps being with the adorable kids all

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.

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
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
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
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
