"So long as I'm far from you, that works just fine."
Leia surveys the large entrance of the Hotel which was teeming with noisy socialites.
"Let's go this way," he tells her.
They help themselves over the tiring walk around the building till they reach the front.
Leia couldn't help but feel her eyes water from all the glaring flashes as she experiences life on the red carpet for a second time in one day.
Her annoyance levels suddenly skyrockets when she hears the cloying voice of another devil.
"Oh, Leia! It's such a surprise to see you here!"
Leia could tell that voice even if it were faint.
Her eyebrow twitches in irritation and she places on a fake smile for the sake of the camera.
"Janette darling! It's great to see you".
The feeling is neutral for Janette, who fakes her smile at her discomfort, baring her white teeth in a twisted version of a snarl.
She leans in as she embraces Leia.
Leia felt her hot breath against her ear as Janette whispers.
"I didn't think you would be shameless enough to show your face here but it seems like I was wrong."
Her words were quiet but the underlying malice in her voice was very clear. Leia could feel her skin crawl at Janette's proximity. The moment is broken when a random camera guy approaches them.
"Hey! It'll be great if you guys give us a few pictures for our magazine."
She giggles as she releases Leia, a sweet smile overtaking her features as she faces the man.
"It would be my pleasure," she tells him.
They both turn towards Leia with enquiring eyes.
Leia swallows, trying to keep the unease from her face.
"Sure," she says with a short nod.
They quickly take poses, Janette pressing against Leia's side before flashing lights overtook Leia's vision again.
"Look over here girls!."
"You both look so beautiful!."
The shouts overlap with the clicks of the cameras.
Leia tries her best to not blink even when Ciara leanes closer to her.
"You know Leia… I didn't think that places like these would let trash like you in here."
Her words cause a spark of rage in Leia's chest and it was with great effort that Leia refrains from breaking her perfect nose.
Rather she smiles at her before hissing
"Oh is that what you think? Well seeing as you've never won anything in your life but a gift certificate for a new boob job, I think it would be safe to say that your opinions don't matter here."
Leia could practically see the anger wafting from her. She waves off the cameramen, ignoring their shouts of thanks.
As soon as they leave, Janette's facade of sweetness drops for a second as she disregards her with cold eyes before she smiles once more.
"What a crazy thing to say. I wonder…. is your husband aware of your savage nature?"
Leia's brows drop to a frown as her mood switches full three-sixty.
"Listen here yo-." Her words are cut off when she feels a broad palm embrace her back.
"Pardon me ladies but I think the opening ceremony is about to begin."
Mark appears out of the blue with an apologetic smile.
Janette who is startled at Mark's sudden entrance quickly puts on a fake smile.
"Oh my! We must have lost track of the time while we were talking. Silly me!." She says with a delicate giggle.
She runs appreciative eyes over the man's tuxedo-clad body, her eyes lingering on his well-defined shoulders and unruly locks. She licks her lips before continuing.
"You're the second son of the sky family, right? You must be so devastated after the arrest of your older brother, you can't imagine how heartbreaking it is, both sons of the Sky family with criminal records." The sympathy in her voice was cloying and Leia felt her spine stiffen.
'How dare she?' she thought. Leia takes a quick peek at Mark's face but he gives no outward reaction to her words, he just stares blankly at her before turning and ushering Leia towards the ceremony with Janette tailing behind.
He suddenly stops after taking two steps and says, "I wonder what your family would say about your little stunt in Ibiza. Should they be appalled at the quite brazen actions of their only daughter? I know I would."
His words were said in a pleasant voice, like the kind of voice one would use to discuss the weather.
Leia is confused by his words when she turns to get a proper understanding from Mark, only to catch the slowly paling face of Janette.
Her face was bloodless, her garish red lipstick only highlighting her paleness.
"H-h-how did y-you know that?" Her lips were trembling, while Leia watched, her body itching to know more about this sizzling conversation.
Leia feels a spark of curiosity. She wonders what secret was so bad that it could turn the one and only Janette of all people into a stuttering mess.
Mark doesn't answer her question and just keeps on walking forward, leaving Janette, voiceless.
Inside the ceremony hall, Leia takes a seat at her assigned table with Mark.
The hall is pleasantly cool but she still feels suffocated in her sequin dress. The tight bodice pressed against her lungs and the cinched neck rubbed her shoulders raw. All in all, she feels uncomfortable in something she would usually like.
The light music suddenly comes to a halt as Mr and Mrs Fabien climb onto the stage.
"Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I hope you all are having a wonderful time and thank you all for coming this evening to the celebration of our 50th anniversary!."
The congregation claps at this.
Mr Fabien clears his throat after the claps had died down.
"However, none of this would have been made possible if not for the contributions of Sky family who had seen the potential of a little inn and had turned it into a giant among other hotels. My husband and I would like to say, thank you."
Leia feels a bead of sweat inch its way across her face as all eyes are upon her, as Mark waves to the audience.
"You don't look so good," Mark says. Leia gives him a dirty look as she swips her hand across her forehead.
"I'm fine." She snaps, but her body begins to heat up.
She turns her attention back to Mr Fabien as he continues with his platitudes.
"That's why I would like to give the award to the representatives of the Sky family as a token of my thanks and a symbol of friendship between our families, before our big announcement," he says, gesturing his hand towards her. The hall erupted into noisy claps as she rise to her feet, accompanied by Mark.
Leia felt a tingling sensation in her head all of a sudden, as she made her way to the podium to receive the award.
She knows her fever is getting worse and yet, she strives on, taking each step one at a time, until she finally reaches the last stair.

"Thank you," Leia says as she accepts the award from Mrs Fabien. The woman smiles at her gently, but then the smile quickly changes as she raises an eyebrow. "Are you okay dear?" Mrs Fabien asks. At this moment, Leia feels sweat roll down her face in a lazy line. Her body feels almost as if it were on fire. She shakes her head and waves off Mrs Fabien's worry, meanwhile clenching the award in her sweaty grip.She automatically swallows the bile rising in her throat before facing the podium with the object in her hand. She knows that it is customary to give a speech during such events. Leia has drafted out a speech, but as soon as she looks at the crowd everything upstairs vanishes without a single trace.

The words from the tv were still ringing in her ears.'I didn't want to hide him but it seemed like the ….. only choice'.She felt sick. Absent-mindedly Leia notes that her fever was most likely back but she didn't care as she rushed to the parking lot.Upon arriving she meets with the driver who's just about to leave, and stops him. He opened his mouth, most likely to greet Leia, but she cut in before he could speak."Keys," she demands, her hand outstretched in front of his stunned face.He gaped for a moment before composing himself."I'm sorry ma'am but I can't do that. It would be better if I drove." He says quickly, trying to avoid her eyes. Saying those words didn't make Leia change her mind as she glared at him before simply snatching the keys from his vest pocket."Ma'am!." He yelps in a squeaky voice.Unbothered by his yelling, she shoves him away from

Mark walks into the police station right after Leia has left when Kasen is brought into the waiting room for the second time in a day. His cousin, Kasen, looks up at him and asks him to leave."Well if it isn't my one and only cousin Mark," Kasen says.Mark didn't budge, his eyes rolled in irritation."I'm here to discuss a few things with you, and I'm afraid I'm not leaving until I find those documents," he says firmly. "I'll burn this place to the ground if I have to."Kasen shakes his head. "You're not thinking straight. Just go home and cool off, or you can join me here if you want to, for the second time in your life I mean."Mark stands up and towers over Kasen, sternly looking at him."I'll go home… when I have those documents in my hand. And you better take care of yourself, Kasen, I wouldn't want anything to happen to you." Knowing fully well that Leia has hidden the document, he couldn't help but frown at how good Leia is at playing hide and seek, but what excites him, was

She knows that she deserves more, and yet, they have ignored her and dismissed her concerns. She couldn't take it anymore.

She shouts in frustration.Rachel who heard her turned from the kitchen counter, the concern on her face turning into shock as soon as she saw the TV.

Everyone looks at the door and sees Mark standing there with his hands shoved casually into the pockets of his slacks.Andrew stands up and the angry look on Claire's face vanishes. They didn't realize he was here already. Claire feels fear settling in her bones, worrying over the possibility of Mark overhearing their conversation with Leia, but after a few minutes of his silence, she realizes he didn't hear anything. He probably had just seen Leia's car drive out when he was driving in. Mark walks purposefully towards them, his cold and arrogant expression enough to frighten them. The aura surrounding him commands respect, dominance practically oozing from his pores. He meets the eyes of Andrew and Claire before lowering himself to take his seat before signalling to a nearby maid and the woman rushes out of the room to get him something to drink.

The duo were silent as Rachel drove down the dark road. The streetlights were bright in the darkness of twilight as Leia rested her chin on her knuckles, looking out the window of Rachel's crappy car. Said car was unusually silent and Leia could tell something was wrong with Rachel but she decided to not question it till they got back to the apartment. However, there has been something that has been bugging her since they left the station. What was annoying her was the fact that Mark left her in prison to rot there. He didn't even spend five minutes in the station and he didn't even look back to see if she was still there before he left the damned place. He was the reason that old filthy man called the police.

It was the big boss, his face bruised and battered, his trousers stained with blood. He regarded Leia with disdain, his lip curled into a cruel sneer.

Kasen and Leia stood in the dimly lit, small brick-walled room, their hearts pounding in their chests. The air was thick with tension, and the sound of trickling water echoed through the enclosed space, a chilling reminder of their predicament. Leia's eyes darted around, desperately searching for an escape route, but there were no windows, no doors, just cold, damp stone walls that seemed to be closing in on them. Her breaths came in short, panicked gasps as the water steadily crept up from cracks. She couldn't swim, and the rising water terrified her. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she began to cry. She sniffled a sob, trying to control her emotions. Kasen, determined to keep them both calm, reached out and gently touched Leia's shoulder. "Hey, Leia, listen to me," he said, his voice steady but laced with concern. "We need to stay calm and think this through. Panicking won't help us." Leia nodded, though her tears continued to flow.

He tried to remember how he had ended up here, but the events leading to this moment were a blur.As his vision cleared, Mark noticed two police officers standing by his bedside, their faces stern and unwavering. They were ready to question him, to unravel the web of events that had led to this tumultuous situation.Before they could begin their interrogation, the door to the hospital room swung open, and Kasen entered, his expression sombre. He walked over to the police officers and said something in a hushed tone.

The smell of gunpowder filled the air as bullets continue to whisk past them. Opal dove into the ground, escaping some shots merely by luck. "Retreat! Take cover!" She yelled, realising that in their current position, they could stand toe to toe against Mark's men.As they rushed backwards, a bullet sunk into the shoulders of one of Opal's men, ten impact making him to fall face down and roll. Opal quickly hopped over a rock, finding cover behind it as she rested her back against it, her chest heaving with exhaustion. She retrieved her gun and reloaded it, holding it tight with both her arms as she prepared for anything."Opal! I'm here, come out and fucking face me!" His voice resonated through the air, meeting her ears. He sounded like he was close, she wasn't sure how close, but close enough. Closer than he should be.She takes in a deep breath, "Fuck off!"

They had stumbled upon this cave in a desperate bid to escape the clutches of the big boss and his relentless henchmen. Now, as Leia rested her back against the damp, rocky wall, her chest heaved with exertion. The darkness of the cave enveloped them, offering a sliver of safety in an otherwise perilous situation.Outside, the big boss had ordered his patrol to scour the area, leaving no stone unturned in their search for his fugitives. The tension in the cave was palpable as Mark and Leia strained their ears for any signs of pursuit."So what now?" Leia asked. "They're after us."Mark sighed, knowing that what she was saying was true. "I don't know. Maybe we can wait it out in this cave," he replied.Just then, Mark's sharp eyes caught a flicker of movement at the cave entrance. He nudged Leia, and she froze, her fear mirroring the uncertainty in his eyes. The henchman who had jus

Leia's breath could hardly breathe as she gasps for air repeatedly, her resistance knows no bounds as Mark couldn't help but fear, still he couldn't let her loose because he knows what she's capable off. She struggles against the restraints binding her to the ornate bed frame to the point where she had begun to bleed due to the injury on her wrist. Mark couldn't help but feel guilty as he found no one but himself responsible for her behaviour. Her eyes flickered with a wild, haunted look as they darted around the dimly lit room. "Let me go, let me go right now you madman, just you wait, I'll kill you as soon as I get away from here!" She promises Mark much to his fear. He couldn't possibly believe the words coming out of her mouth and feared the worst. Now she's become dangerous to both herself and himself. Mark stood at a cautious distance, not knowing what to do, his eyes filled with a mix of concern and fear. "Please calm down Leia, everything is going to be fine, I'll get yo

It took more than a while to calm Leia down as she would continuously try to wiggle her way out until she was finally subdued by Mark and fell asleep. Everything looked like hell for Mark wouldn't couldn't help but hope for the best to happen as it pained him to see Leia in this pathetic state, so much so that he refused to leave her bedside when she fell asleep.Everything was a disaster at this point and he just couldn't take it anymore. "Boss," his subordinate called for his attention. Mark couldn't help but feel irritated and yet he couldn't simply ignore their request as he knows that there's more to this interruption.

Scandalous Secret Affairs Falling Pieces.
Despite his happiness, Mark's worst fears were about to become a reality. He dashed through the hallway, shoving whoever dared get in his way as he hurried for Leia's room."Is she okay, how is she, is she in good shape, is it something serious?" Mark suddenly questions in a rush. He couldn't wait, especially not after waiting two days already for either of the ladies to wake up. His joy at the moment knows no bounds as he hurries to enter into the bedroom, the only stopping him is the doctor in his way. "Should I kill him?" Mark questions himself while he stares at the frightened woman who seems to repeatedly block each route he tries to take. "For god sake Mr. Sky you have to calm down," the woman yells. He couldn't possibly believe his eyes and eyes as he stared at the puny woman who seemed to lack a lot more flesh than Leia had. "It'll just take one twist and she'd probably pass on," he tells himself as she stares at her, examining what to do about this sudden disturbance.
