A super luxury limited edition Mercedes Benz, blue and shiny sports car was brought to a stop at the entrance of The Baker’s Pastry Shop. Mr. Ronald looked as beautiful as ever, nobble and arrogant as a newly crowned prince of the largest and strongest empire as he made his grand entrance with his hands deep into his pant’s pockets.
The aura he was exuding was extraordinary and he had his natural high-born bearing as he walked elegantly towards the lady who was sitting under the shade in front of The Baker’s Pastry Shop.Naturally, this lady was none other than Anita who was sitting under the shade outside their shop. Unaware that the newly supposed customer was the one man she wanted to inquire about, she kept her eyes shut until the brooding figure of the man cast a shadow on her.Anita felt that something was wrong with the situation because it was not playing as she had expected it to and furrowed her brows. She wasn’t wearing the shop’s uniform today and was clad in“You amaze me little one. Your bravery truly amazes me,” Ronald said between gritted teeth, “Even with my threats, you are still going against me? I wonder, do you have a heart?” He asked in a mocking tone.Anita’s eyes were twitching at his mocking tone, “You-!”“What?” He went on in his cold voice, “I want to know because if you had a heart, you would have humbled your pride or ego and cared for the people around you. I did underestimate you little one, you do look like me but you are hiding in the shell of…what..pride? Embrace it!”Anita was fuming with anger when she caught the meaning of his question if she had a heart. Wu Long sat silently watching the tit for tat exchange. Luckily before the two fighting dragons could have another exchange, Anita’s mother walked to them with a tray of different pastries.“Here you go,” She then turned to Wu Long, “If you want some my boy, you can ask when you leave. I will pack some for you,” then to her daughter, “Baby, I can
When Wu Long was talking, every sentence he spat out brought the change on Ronald. His hair suddenly flared with blue,yellow and red flames as his hair color changed into long thick silky hair with four colors, white, red, blue and gold. Golden scales with the white, red and blue colors shining on them, started to form on his forehead at the tip near his hairline and brows were starting to change when Wu Long Stopped.His change still went on to manifest as they followed his hair line down to his ears. His eyes had changed and it was not a pleasing moment to the three in the car as he had started exuding his aura that brought a suffocating pressure on them. Since they knew Ronald that much, they needed no one to tell them that he was angry beyond redemption. What was he angry about?“Elder brother Si, you are not to transform on Earth, remember!” Wu Long tried to persuade from the side.It was not ignored how he felt the pressure more than everyone else. It was like the air near him h
Anita spent up to an hour enjoying the sun outside their shop before she finally resorted to going back home. The main reason she wanted a day off was because she was thinking of how to contact Ben and get to know if what he had told her yesterday was true.Since she had been visited by the devil himself, she saw no reason to seek for Ben again even though she was sure Ben was inside the car when the devil had visited, she still took his card and saved his number.When she decided to leave, Anita boarded in her car and headed towards home but this time she did not use the main road like they had used yesterday with Tony when he was driving her back.Once they left the periphery of the street where their shop was located, there was a shortcut road from another street that led to the forest near the National park. It was a road no one knew except for their family members and since she felt like she might meet Ronald’s car after leaving the street, it was her only best opti
Anita was feeling utterly defeated and her tears were threatening to fall down. All the feelings she had was not for her unlucky day but something she felt from Mr. Ronald’s eyes.There was an aura that flowed from him and a strange light that glinted deep inside his crimson eyes. She learned that his pupil’s color had changed and everything about him screamed danger.When she saw him yesterday and even earlier, she saw that he had beautiful icy ocean blue eyes. Yet now she was seeing them totally changed, they were hazel and now it was crimson. Like a beast awakening.It was a danger that was far more unfathomable. It was like it was his real identity. He was a super dangerous person that it seemed like he didn’t only rely on his wealth as his power but his strength. Something in him was almost out and it let it calm down.There was something about his flesh too, when he held her chin and it was soft but they were akin to diamonds, attractive but hard. She was sure
Anita's head was swelled up with shame that she was feeling it made her stand out being near Mr. Ronald.Didn't this man say he was a loveless man? Why was he now treating her so unfortunately cutely that even the bevy of security, staff and every worker at The Palmers were looking at her with envy in their eyes.Didn't he drag all his girlfriends? But Anita threw this to the back of her mind and far because these people's gazes that seemed to want to bore a hole through her body answered her with a screaming 'NO!'.She was forced to shrink near him and walk obediently and start getting used to this anger ticking bomb. She wasn't prepared and so she was sure she was going to lose anyway.Ronald only gave out a chuckle when he saw that she was finally willing to follow him obediently.Even when passing through the revolving doors into the reception hall, the man still was holding her hand. Was he maybe informed that she knew people here and was afraid she might ru
These women would do anything that they saw, even a tiny space next to Ronald was precious and so Anita was too simple to take that from them. This was only the start and the best place was The Palmers.The Palmers was a place with international races and international companies established in it. Also, the business world was full of schemers who would stoop at any level to get Ronald as their partner.Anita was all now their target and top their lists. Ronald was angered by her tricky question but when he thought about this, he calmed down and asked her. He was giving her a chance and if she was really foresighted, she would smell a rat.Indeed, Anita was able to smell a rat, but she couldn’t put her finger on what direction it came from. Is this man trying to trap me or something? How come he is asking if I have any other question?She darted her pupils around checking for the nearest surveillance camera and she caught one but before she could react, she felt strong arms around her
The centre could be transformed to an indoor sports arena! That was why she had heard her parents always trying to make a day to watch rock climbing sports in The Palmers. It was because of the Red Dark Dragon Training Centre!That was why there were many international companies in The Palmers and made the building known globally. It was because of the recreation it provided for the dwellers too.Anita didn’t know if she should laugh or cry at this. So he wasn’t childish? People used that as a figure of speech but was it a real thing? Did she jump out of earth and land on a certain planet with the same people?“Look! It is the lady who came with the handsome man!”“What! She isn’t serious right?” Someone in the crowd asked after someone had yelled pointing at Anita and Mr. Ronald.“Maybe she has escorted her brother! You didn’t see how he was protective of her” Another voice chimed in.People started clamoring, buzzing akin to bees.“She is in for it! She
Ronald was not aware of how keenly he was when watching Anita climb up the wall. But there were four people who could not believe what they were seeing. Anita on the other hand, was so surprised and she offered her thanks when she reached the top.“Thank you!” She said,“I didn’t do it for you!” Ronald was quick to refute back.“And I said it because I realized in that cold cage there is a heart. If you ain’t cold blooded then you are an amphibian!” Anita spoke.Ronald only looked at the girl in front of him and started down the slope. He has lived for six hundred years. Visited the planets, fought wars and lost a mother and an elder brother in the last war.But, since he lost his mother, he was only left with his little brother to take care of. Wu Long. And that was the only person he could at least express a certain feeling for, and that would be the person who can surely tell someone that he has a heart.To many creatures of Alien Lands and to the people o
