14. Let's Say, I'm on a Mission
“Mr. Muller…”
The couple halted and turned around the time they heard Lila’s call. They frowned in unison, wondering who Lila was and why she knew the man’s name.
“I’m Lila Phillips. I know this is unexpected, showing up in front of you without appointment, but I’ve tried to reach you on the phone, it just didn’t manage.”
Since deciding to fight back her idea by attending the University gala dinner, she needed the blood sample. That’s why she took the risk, coming to this town without any appointment with the man who had the rare blood type as Andrews. She couldn’t get it from Andrew yet, so she had to try another source.
In the day when she canceled her trip because of her cheating ex-boyfriend, Mr. Muller had agreed to donate his blood. Oddly today, she had a hard time finding him in his workplace or home, even the call she made went straight to voicemail.

His Bride: Between Billionaire and The Prince 15. The Gala
Lila stared at her reflection in the mirror. She was admiring her dress. It fitted perfectly on her, the fabric was soft and the most important was the price didn’t make her wallet cried. Nodding at her reflection, she was ready to go, then went downstairs immediately. Uncle Malcom as the University’s President, choosing not to attend the gala, he watched tv drama with Aunt Becky. The kitten was sleeping on Aunt Becky’s lap. “I’m leaving. Take care of my baby.” Said Lila as she walked by the sitting room. “You better give it a name.” Uncle Malcom voiced his irritation. His tired tone made Lila giggled. Last night when Lila got home, Aunt Becky welcomed her. Lila showed the kitten in the carrier then told her. “I’m adopting this baby.” Aunt Becky smiled brilliantly, taking the carrier. While Uncle Malcom who was sitting with his back facing the front door, choked and threw a fit cough after hearing what Lila had said, thinking L
His Bride: Between Billionaire and The Prince 16. Responsible Feeling
Under grad students usually made the lobby garden busy for almost twenty-four hour everyday, they come and go through it. But not tonight. The gala had it closed. Lila stepped to the empty lobby alone. Scanning all direction of the lobby, she found nothing. Maybe I was wrong. She concluded. “I’m so impressed.” A voice came, walking from inner lobby to the outside. Lila didn’t have to turn around to see who said it. She knew very well and also hate it. Professor Gustav stood beside her. “First time attending the gala, you manage to get along with the second prince. Wow.” He clapped coldly and out of rhyme. “You should share that kind of skill to the rest of us.” Pretending not to hear a word from him, Lila scanned the empty lobby once again. Her eyes roamed everywhere, except at the man beside her. But Professor Gustav seemed unnoticed, he kept on talking. “Though his speech implied about our special activity,”
His Bride: Between Billionaire and The Prince 17. Déjà vu
The air around Lila’s fist and Professor Gustav’s face stormed sharply. It felt suffocating to Professor Gustav. He finally saw the punch coming, but too shock to make a move. He never thought, the obedient girl he knew all these years could do this kind of blow. Closing his eyes, waiting for the punch to come, he didn’t realize that the storm had stopped and the suffocating air dropped suddenly. Andrew’s large palm held Lila’s punch just an inch from Professor Gustav’s nose. “Don’t!” Andrew shook his head, gazing into Lila’s eyes. “Not worth it.” Few seconds Andrew endured Lila’s deadly glare while still holding her fist. “What are you doing here?” Lila hissed through her teeth, jerking her fist free from Andrew’s grasp. “Saving you…” Having his sense back as the still and silent surrounding assured him that Lila’s punch was aborted, Professor Gustav opened his eyes and blinked few times to calm his shaking nerves. Feeling calm, his cocky attitude back again. “Listen to him,

“What is your problem, woman?” “I said, let’s go to the vet with me.” Lila repeated in a tired tone. “Your dog looks in pain.” “I heard you!” The man retorted sharply. “Again, my dog is just being naughty, he’s not sick. Besides, it’s my dog, my decision.” Lila’s voice started to raise. “Not anymore when you kick your dog in front of witnesses.” “Or we can go straight to the police.” Andrew added as he positioned himself standing next to Lila. “That way, you can no longer be with your dog, and your dog will be safe and sound in the vet. Your choice.” The man cursed in foreign language. He threw belittling angry looks while pulling his dog, getting ready to leave. “I can make you deported from this country, you know.” Andrew slid to the same foreign language, halting the man’s step. He also noticed Lila was astonished, probably within the moment her mind was forming questions for him. Thinking he would cross that bridge when he got there, then he told the man. “You can kiss your

Barry Barlow was sitting alone on the private rooftop in Angela Barlow’s downtown restaurant. He was one of the best lawyers in the country and also a major shareholder of Angela Barlow restaurant and café’s chain which was founded by his grandfather and the restaurant named after his grandmother.It had been a year, on the first Saturday of every month he gave legal advice in his office to those who needed it but could not afford it. Thanks to his troublesome assistant whose son hinted in his social media account lately that Barry Barlow, the famous lawyer, was doing charity by giving free legal advice. Though the son said occasionally, it didn't stop people from coming, making the usual ten to fifteen clients become countless clients. Today was busier and more hectic than his weekdays. The last session ended two hours ago, and he felt extremely burnt out. That’s why he came to this particular restaurant branch. The familiar atmosphere calmed his nerves.Besides the food, he liked t
His Bride: Between Billionaire and The Prince 20. Shocking News
“They fought with Hell Rhino without knowing he’s Hell Rhino.” Concluded Andrew indifferently. A cynical chuckle came from Evan. “How come they call themselves Blue Rings’ members, if they didn’t even know their leader.” Andrew hummed softly. “I don’t think low level members like them would be introduced to Rhino. It’s natural that they didn’t know what their leader’s looked like.” “Yeah, no one would think a short and pretty guy like him would be a dangerous Gang leader.” Evan snorted. Inside The Arena, headquarter of Evan’s organization, Andrew and Evan were sitting on the long plush sofa, from which their eyes were fixed on the floor to ceiling screen. The two of them were studying a profile of the four thugs that they called chickens on the same screen where there was a real-time situation of a dim underground room with the chickens in it. “You get this information because…” Andrew turned to his assistant, Max, who sat on the armchair. “Well, they have an eastern accent, sin
His Bride: Between Billionaire and The Prince 21. Not A Coupon
“Alright, I’m going to hand you the result of last week’s quiz.” Lila walked towards the corner table. Handing a stack of paper to the student who sat behind it. For some moments, she watched the stack spread quickly as each student took the paper with their name on it. “Before we end today’s class, any question?” Two hands lifted. One by one, Lila listened to the question that was asked by her student, then carefully answered it. After making sure there was no other question to be asked, she dismissed the class. It had been a month since the new term began and five weeks since the University gala, Lila was still adjusting with the tight teaching schedule. She felt her life rotated around teaching and studying for her research. Although, the research was going nowhere, since she didn’t have the blood sample from Andrew yet. He said he will give it to her. But up until now, not a single drop of his blood was given to her. Due to her busy schedule, she couldn’t steal a time to go to
His Bride: Between Billionaire and The Prince 22. In The Arthur Tower
“Arthur and Arthur founded by Arthur Mac Miller, Senior and Junior. In 1889. Wow, old.” Susan read aloud what was shown on her laptop screen. On Susan’s laptop screen was the company website, they were reading its history. John suggested that they looked into what kind of enterprise Arthur and Arthur operated. Trying to reason on why the company wanted to invest their money in Lila’s research. “Bank of Framery, the National Bank is under our Arthur.” Susan continued. “So is the largest resort in our country, The Island.” Her eyes lightened. “Oh, and blocks of commercial districts at Mayor Street, also the hotel, Arthur’s Icon. Wow…” Susan’s eyes grew wider, knowing the hotel was all over the country. “And…” She checked Lila and John’s attention. “And the amusement park.” “So, their field of business was nowhere near science.” Lila concluded. “It seems half of the country belongs to them.” Added John. “I don’t understand, I thought the University gala invites people with money onl
