HIS brother is not thinking straight, that is what Louis is thinking. Hailey must have captured Edward's attention for him to act this way. In Louis's point of view, she might end up being a poison to him, and that he needs to get rid of her, but how? He does not even know how to persuade Edward and now he needs to think of something to get of Hailey. 

"Make sure she does not get out," Louis looked at his brother with utter confusion. He badly wants to disagree with the way he takes care of things but he just can't bring himself to, in fact, that is the last thing he sees himself doing. Edward has been the one to call decisions, he rarely asks for advice on certain matters. 

"Where are you going, Edward?" Edward looked at his brother, pursing his lips. He knows to himself he messed up, but of course, he would not admit it. He is not trying to impress old satan, he just wants the girl safe and Louis has been prying on what he does since Giovanni decided to kill himself. He knows Louis more than anyone, he practically raised him, he can tell everything that goes in and out of his mind. Edward's concern is that he may be too caught up with the Hailey incident and have been mixing all matters at hand in one small bowl. 

"A meeting," Louis sighed. He knows that his brother would just drink his sorrows away, he did not even like Giovanni to begin with. Edward walked his way out of their home but before anything else, of course, he had already asked Louis to keep an eye on Hailey. 

Hailey is still sound asleep in the guest room. She must love losing consciousness because she just did. Louis even watched his brother carrying Hailey and laying her down in the bed. It makes him sick and now, he has to take care of a hostage which is pretty unusual to what they do. They do not take care of hostages, they play with their lives, exactly the same thing that Hailey said. They kill for fun, satisfaction, desire, and most importantly, they kill for betrayal. he just wishes to understand what his brother is trying to do. 

Louis sat down in the lounge drinking tea while looking at the blank canvas that he has always been fond of. Other people would think that this canvas is nothing but white, but for Rindou, it shows its true colors when alone and in the dark. It has hidden desires, flaws, and beauty, just like humans, just like pawns. He was about to take another sip from his tea when he heard footsteps coming his way. He had never wished to see Dominic walking around their house more than ever instead of the woman that Edward brought home with him, well technically kidnapped. 

"Let me go," Those are Hailey's first words the moment she saw Louis in the lounge. It was as clear as the sky but Louis did not bother listening nor turning his attention to her. 

"You're awake," Louis pursed his lips and took a sip of his tea. He has no means of communicating with Hailey, but it can't be helped considering that they are the only ones at home. He just does not have the energy. 

"I said, let me go," Louis adjusts his position and looked at Hailey with his piercing purple eyes. Her audacity to tell him what to do is beyond imagination. He already knows that there is a drive-in in which people usually exert too much effort to survive but Hailey is just on another level. If this were survival of the fittest, she can be the winner. 

"Not happening," Louis ticked his tongue inside his mouth then sighed uncontrollably. Hailey's forehead furrowed while looking at him. He looked at Hailey without blinking an eye then turned around, completely ignoring her. A little privacy would help between the two of them, it is quite the aura between the two of them that ticks Louis's desires. 

"And believe me, I want you out of here more than you do," Quick thinking. After Louis had said those words, his mind flew somewhere else. He hates that he can be just as affected as his brother is. He took a quick glance from Hailey and sighed. And here he is, contemplating if should they remove the air-conditioning in their house.

Hailey scoffed after hearing Louis's words. Of course, it is already a given that she will not take the word of what a criminal says, and top it, the ones who abducted her. Hailey saw Louis's quick glance and was confused then realized how thin her clothes are. Her eyes widened as the blood from all her system went up in her face in a matter of seconds. 

She did not realize that she was sweating so much that her body figure and even her undergarment is visible. She was aware that it was hot and did not bother with it because she was used to it, but after eyeing Edward's place once again, there are a total of 2 air-conditioning and that is just inside the lounge. 

Hailey quickly covered herself with her arms and ran back to the room she slept in. Louis was just pretending to not notice but sighed out of relief once Hailey had gotten inside the guest room. He could have sworn that it was all his brother's doing. He knows that the guest room in which Hailey is staying has an air-conditioner, and his brother is not the type of forgetting to turn it on. He hates heat more than anything else. 

"Damn it," Louis muttered and finished the sip he was supposed to drink slowly in one gulped. Now how can he focus on what matters the most after what he just saw? He felt like a dagger was just pierced through his heart, he can imagine his brother saying how much he liked his morning surprise.

    After all the commotion in Edward's walk-in closet, Hailey went back to the guest room. She stayed there sitting at the edge of the bed thinking about the decision she just made. She is not fine at all, but being with Edward is what she thinks is the best bet. Something happened already, and the fact that Louis turned down Edward's questions gives the possibility that he is likely to have developed feelings towards her.Hailey sighed and looked out of the window. Not once did she ever think about her life turning upside down. She cannot even comprehend any more of all the drastic measures she had done, especially last night. She just had it, she went on and got railed by a total and complete stranger to her for weeks, her abductor, and to even make it worst, he is a criminal. Maybe her parents were right about her. She does not have what it takes to be a public servant."I really should not have gone to that convenience store," she said spitting out facts and reg

Edward grabbed Hailey by her arms and won't let go of her, they have been arguing for 30 minutes straight, and Hailey cannot have a minute to breathe and process the situation she is in. Edward and Louis are fighting over her, and she cannot even remember what the reason was in the first place."I am telling you, Louis. Stick your fucking nose out of our business," Louis scoffed hearing her brother's words."Our? Our?! You kidnapped her! For fuck sake's, Edward! I am basically trying to save her a life of misfortune!""What do you know? Huh? What do you know without me, Louis?""I know Hailey. Every single thing she does the moment she wakes up until she falls asleep

    It was a long night for someone who is not having a sexy time with their abductor, but it sure is a rather short time for Edward and Hailey. Hailey slipped out of Edward's room, wearing only one of his long sleeves and her undergarment, and the rest of what happened remains inside Edward's room.Hailey did not get much sleep not even after slipping out. All she could think about was the amazing time she and Edward spent on the bed they made, but then she knows it will not happen again. She will not let it happen again.Awoken by the noise outside, Hailey is in a foul mood. She barely got any sleep. She opened her room, and to her surprise, she does not know who they are. She saw Louis sitting on the couch, probably reading today's paper. Their attention went from Hailey to Louis. She can already feel that Louis is pissed, he does not like it when someone bothers him from reading the morning's paper."Why is there a girl here?"Asked Nick.

    "No, absolutely not,"Hailey said when Louis took her joke seriously. He really did not care about it though, what he wanted was for Hailey to come with him to London and it does not matter what comes next. She comes with him to London thinking they are running away? Sure. Everything needs to go according to his plan, he did not lie for his brother to watch and get his plan ruined."I bought two tickets, Hail. You come with me whether you like it or-""She is coming with me," and Louis knows that he is fucked. Louis thought that his brother and Nick is still in the middle of an argument. Hailey did not look at Edward, she could not do so because it will just remind her of what happened last night and she cannot afford to remember any of it."Where are Nick and the others?"Louis asked. Edward looked at him bearing no emotions thinking why would he ask Hailey to come with him."They are gone, just now,"Edward said and wa
