The Encounter

Edward is still searching for Lilly. It's almost sundown still no trace of her, anywhere. He feels a little frustrated and irritated at the same time. Half an hour later he went home pissed.

Why is a girl doing it to me? I can't sleep, eat, think straight, or do anything at this moment. What is a try with me?

Please, it can be....a...am in love with her, right? No, it is. Does she barely know me? And I barely know her as well.

But I don't understand why my heart beats faster when she is around or near me. We hardly say anything to each other. But the question is....."Why am I feeling her?"

Maybe we'll meet again I said to myself.

Half an hour later I fell asleep.

On another side.....

Lilly was wipeout from training and fighting those pieces of shit from earlier. " I guess I'll go to sleep now. I look for a job in the morning since the weekend is around the corner."

She Shoots her eyes and sleeps.

The following morning.

I woke up at 7:00 a.m., went to brush my teeth, bathe fix my hair put on a plain shirt and a pair of jeans with a black shoe hoop to my car, and started searching for a job around the neighborhood.

Thankfully I found a cafe close to my school. Maybe getting a second job is not a bad idea at all.

I started walking around to see an opening, but I couldn't find any. Until I bumped into a woman who is in her early forty or thirty. Am so sorry madam I wasn't watching where I was going.

If I may ask? " are you okay?"

The lady answered and said, I need a house helper who can clean and cook, etc cause I travel a lot and I won't have time. I have a son who is about your age but he is busy helping with our family company.

I replied and said that wouldn't be a problem at all. Cause I can do all that.

Excuse Me, young lady, what's your name? Lilly Kings and my name is Rose Jones.

Nice to meet you, Mrs. Jones, likewise please call me Rose.

I chuckled a little bit and said okay. I'll call you and say when you can begin.

I nodded got into my car and drove off.

Her face looks familiar somehow. I wonder who the son is. She mentioned her son goes to the same school as me. I wonder who?

Anyway, I finally made it home. I parked my car at the drive-thru and stepped out. And entered the house, welcome Lilly thanks, Yuki. Oh yeah, have seen my uncle? No, my dear. Okay, Yuki is heading to my room to catch up with my assignments.

She nodded and walked away.

Lilly opened up her laptop and went straight to her email. She saw all her assignments that her teachers sent to her from the day she was absent until now.

I better get started on this assignment don't want to fail this semester's final. I can't afford to repeat a course, just want to pass and move on with life.

As Lilly continued to work on assignments, she heard a knock on her door. I wonder who is knocking?

"Lilly is your uncle Ryan can I come in?"

" Yeah come in an uncle. "

So how was your trip? Uncle Ryan?

It was okay replied, Uncle Ryan. Did anything happen?

My uncle tensed up and unease about a thing. I dropped my papers closed my laptop and faced my uncle.

Uncle tell me what happened?

He took a deep breath for a short well before saying anything.

Someone placed a bounty of 5.8 million dollars on your head.

WHAT?!

Who did it, uncle?

Fucking bastard. Am frustrated at this moment, whoever did this will answer with me cutting off their head off their shoulder.

Lilly your bad habits are kicking in again.

Hahaha... Lilly chuckled.

Like father like daughter. You're truly a monster like your father the apple doesn't fall so hard from the tree.

Uncle thanks for telling me. You're welcome my dear study hard alright, okay? Oh yeah, I got a job today?

Woah? Yes! So tomorrow morning I'll call the person who wants to hire me in the morning.

Alright, Lilly, I'll see you in the morning.

Good night Uncle Ryan.

Night then left my room, back to my studies once more.

I turned and stared at the clock it was 3: 30a.m, I need to rest being tried. But my uncle's words came back to me, Now I want to know who the fucking asswipe that places a bounty on my head.

And if I do?

They will pay with their life, I'll make sure of it.

The following morning

Lilly got up from the bed and did her normal routine. After that, she went straight to her room took a shower, and dressed up looking smoking hot. She ate breakfast before stepping out of the house. Anyway nobody was at home.

I just hope that Edward isn't at his house today, she mumbled to herself.

She laughed nervously and continued to drive to Edward's house. But she has a confident plus strong sense of will.

( Edward POV)

Mom is always busy all the time because she's always busy with work. She travels a lot, so am used to it since I was in middle school. I lost my dad when I was nine years old. Sometimes I miss my old man, But my family runs hung hospital. The hospital is my family legacy and I'll inherit it soon. But my mind keeps thinking about Lilly all the time. It tightens my heart, but I've fallen head over heels for her. But I still don't know where she is or where she lives.

Mom! When is the new help coming? " very soon my son." She will be here soon to be perfect. Wait for her?! Yes, son, she is the same as you and attends college as well. Can she cook, clean, and drive? Said Edward, yes son. Alright, mom. So when is she coming? She's on her way here now.

Okay, mom, I'll be in my mom. Call me when she arrives. No problem Eddy, and with that, he left.

Half an hour Lilly arrived at Mrs. Jone's house. The house helps welcome her, please let me get the lady of the house. Lilly nodded her head, then the maid exited the door.

Mrs. Jones, the young lady is waiting for you in the diner room. Thank you, Emma, you leave now yes madam. Then Mrs. Jones left the study room to see Lilly. Oh, Lilly welcome to my house. Wow, Rose, you have a beautiful house Rose, thank you, Lilly. So Rose was your husband? Oh sorry, I didn't mean to pry.

That's okay he passed away last year. I am so sorry to hear that. Anyway, Lilly let me introduce it to my maid. Okay, please lead the way, alright Lilly this is Emma Pierce she has been working here for a year now. She does everything in the house and is worried about her health. She's only 34 years old, she hasn't seen her family for some time now. And finally, this is the head Butler Alex Brown anything you need just ask him. Okay, Lilly, I will be traveling tomorrow morning for a business trip. Before I forget let me introduce you to my son. Emma? Yes? Please go call my son downstairs. Yes, madam.

Young master your mother calls for you. I am on my way. Thank you, Emma. Mother you called for me? Yes, son let the introduction to our new maid.

I am glad you kids know each other. Emma don't worry I'll show Lilly to her room, you may go back to what you were doing.

Lilly, have you been? I didn't see you at school for 3 weeks. Cause you never miss class before. Sorry, I had some family emergency I had to take care of. So my mom told me you would work here? What about school? I will take night classes to catch up. I see said, Edward.

well well well... I didn't know me. Does Playboy care about me this much?.... Haha... Sh....sh...shut. Maybe I should come to you and warm your bed for you said Lilly in a sexy tone of voice as she whispered it in his ears.

Edward stepped back and his face was red as tomatoes. She laughed and thanked him once more and disappeared into her room.

Anyway, he was glad she was okay. Also glad she's working for them even if it's part-time. Maybe one day I'll confess my feelings for her. He would do anyway to keep her by his side.

But little did he know was living with a mafia princess, who can kill without hesitation, a ruthless assassin who kills in cold blood. Because he was in love with her, he asked one of the technical guys to do a background check on her.

Young master, please give us a minute and we will return an answer alright? with they head to their secret lab. A few hours later Lilly's phone went off, hello? Yes, uncle, we need you to come to the warehouse fast. Understand Uncle Ryan, I'll be there in a minute.

Hmm...young master? Lilly please no need for formality call me Eddy for short okay? Eddy, can I see my aunty? What's wrong with your aunty? She is not feeling okay and her kids are all too busy to see her. As she was telling them this she started crying, so can I see her quickly then I will come right here.

Sure said, Edward, thank you so much. With that, she rushed back to the room and changed her clothes. I'll be back soon.

I am glad that my acting skills paid off. Now off to the warehouse, yes Uncle Ryan am on my over to theirs. 20 minutes later she arrived at the place, she stepped out of her car, her uncle was waiting for her already. Uncle Ryan, what is going on? Remember those bastards that were chasing us? They are the Diamond snakes.
