Chapter 4

Chapter 4

The inside of the market was loud and you heard a noise from inside to the outside of the market where Darius's truck was parked. An old woman came up to him, greeted Darius with her hair bun style, wearing a red apron, and wearing a black dress underneath. It includes two freighters to pick up vegetables and eggs in the back of the truck. The old woman is talking to Darius and laughing, I didn't hear what they are talking about because I'm still inside the truck. I look around and see the simple buildings in downtown. 

Minimum car driving on the streets, I think Caroline province is a small population of the family that's why the province was quiet and they're living there was simple, I can see it. I look around until I saw the girl in the middle of the streets playing her pink ball and I saw the car approaching. I look at some people who can notice the girl but they didn't. I jump out of the car and go straight to the girl. Its inches away when someone notices us.

"Oh, my god!" I heard a woman scream in shock.

"Emily!" Someone called my name I guess that's Darius.

No one-stop me until I hug the girl tight when I got the girl on the street. We stumble to the ground but my instinct that she needs to be safe in my arms. My body stop, my heart is beating so fast in my chest and the girl is on top of me while I am lying to the ground. My eyes were closed and I heard a loud horn of a car.  

My sense was aware of the commotion and when I open my eyes the car was inches away with me. I heard the loud bang of the car door. Someone help me to get up and the woman took the little girl from me. She hugs her tight and saying thank you but I didn't understand everything because I'm still under the shock of what happened. 

"Hey! Are you blind?" The man from the car shouted at me.

“Why are you shouting at her that she is innocent and she’s just helping the girl you almost hit with your car!” Darius defence me from the driver. I look at the people around us, some look at me with pity and some whisper while looking at the car as if scared. I also looked at the car and Darius was still arguing with the driver when I noticed that the car looked familiar. 

Everyone was silent when the door to the passenger seat opened and a young man who was familiar to me came out. My arched brow, when I feel a very different vibe from her, I can’t explain it to myself, his pair of blue eyes was looking at me. He is wearing white long sleeve folded until his elbow, with blue chequered necktie, blue-gray chequered vest, black slacks pants, and paired of brown shoes. He is tall like Darius.

He approached me while still looking at me, I feel a jolt of electricity when he touched me in my left arms and then he looks it. I look it too until I notice that they a bruised and wounds. Now I just feel the pain in my wound. I also feel that Darius has taken my hand away from him and studied it.

“I think we should go now.”

I nodded at him and followed Darius. “Sorry,” I said to them before leaving them.

When we got in the truck, the people were still there and they were standing. The young man stared at me as if he were the depth of thinking. I looked away.

“Don’t come near him or them.” I looked at Darius when he starts the engine.

“Why?”

He looks furious because of that young man but I know he didn’t do anything and the driver is the one who was fault about it. 

“He is the son of the mayor of this province, you better walk away when you see him and to keep you from being in their family mess.”

“Okay, as if I’m going to leave here,” sarcastically said.

“We just make sure, Emily.”

I didn't argue with him until we got back to the palace and the husband's caretaker also came to the mansion. Mrs. Marcos prepared dinner food for us. I just washed the wound I got in the accident earlier and I'll just get it clean after dinner maybe.

Darius narrated what had happened in the market but to my surprise Mrs. Marcos scolded him.

“Why did you do that? Didn’t you know that Reginald's family is the top 1 who wants to buy this mansion, you're ruining the strategy?”

That is more surprising to me.

“Really?”

“Yes, Emily, you didn’t see the list?”

“I’m not already checking it but maybe I guess.”

“Next time Darius thinks first your action before you do it. Don't bring your anger with him anywhere.” Mrs. Marcos added.

I noticed how Darius received the lecture from his mother but the disgust was obvious in his face, I wanted to ask why he was so upset with young Reginald but I just couldn't force it and let them go. After we ate I was told to rest so I just obeyed them even though I wanted to help clean our meal I didn't force them anymore. Darius took me to my room while I was staying in the mansion.

He fake coughed so I face him when we stop to the room of the guest room, “I’m sorry of what happened earlier.”

“No, its fine no one’s want what happened.”

“Yeah.”

“Thank you by the way.”

He nodded before he leaves. I enter the room, everything is clean and fine. The room has one bed for me, a window with a close blue curtain, one build-in cabinet, a study table, and a chair. I sat down to the soft bed and then look again at the list until I saw the number one his name.

Reginald Da Silva.
