Lucia didn’t turn around to look at him again, she walked straight into the building, seemly unaffected, but on the inside, her heart was unable to calm down.
However, by the time she stood at Daniella’s door, Lucia looked like the tears she tried so hard to hold in were about to burst out.When Daniella opened the door and saw her friend’s expression, worry carved on her face, and she immediately went to hug her. Lucia felt her self calm down a little when she finally felt Daniella’s arm around her, like a protective blanket." What happened” Daniella asked as she led her friend to the couch. " Did that Mr. Derek do anything bad to you? Tell me! What did that bastard do to you?” Daniella was angered. It’s because this was the first time she saw her dear Lucia look like this. Her innocent Lucia, who always shone brightly like the happy sun now look like a sad and hurt little puppy. Oh! My precious Lucia.
“What h
When the door opened, the man was already leaning by the wall, his hands on his abdomen as he panted and winced in pain.Daniella, on the other hand, gave him a Cheque and a quick ‘thank you’ she left the man without a backward glance.The man in the black hoodie watched her until the elevator doors closed again. He straightened up and fixed his clothes and stared at the cheque in his hands. His eyes blazed before a soft chuckle left his mouth. He only agreed because he didn’t want her to pester him more than this. He couldn’t afford to be recognized after all,, but she was actually a bully, and she beat him up for real. Damn! What a girl! Was she a gangster?The man in the black hoodie laughed again, he was amused. Who would have thought that him of all people will be beaten up by a girl in such a place?Ones the man left the building, he went straight to The car waiting for him in the other side of the road.He
On the bed in Daniella's room…" Daniella but you ones took me to a party”" that’s a birthday party, you can’t compare that to a night club”" what’s really the difference?”Before Daniella could answer, Lucia suddenly remembered what Daniella had told her before sheleft with Mr. Trouble.“Daniella, you said that that man who came to pick me up is a prince?”" oh yes, when i was 18, my father took me with him to their kingdom, that secluded kingdomin the south, it is a nice rich country, i heard it has less than 2 million persons living there. Myfather said that the royal family of that country is one of the richest monarchs in the world butthey remain very low key. The monarchs have full control of that country. The country prospersunder them and the citizens of the country love them but we don’t hear more ab
There was a certain man sitting at a secluded corner, who suddenly recognized Lucia. He took his cell phone and dialed a number.The receiver picked up just after 4 rings." What is it” the person on the other end of the phone sounded impatient." It looks like your little girl just walked into the lion’s Den,” he cryptically said, knowing full well the other person on the line would know exactly what he was talking about. He hung up straight away, not bothering with farewells and continued his drink, all the while, keeping an eye on the girl and her bully friend.Meanwhile, at the corner booth, Daniella was giving her dearest friend some advice."Lucia, you are not used to this place, I think for now, why don’t you observe first okay? But if you don’t like being here, just tell me, and we can go back, alright?”“Okay, don’t mind me, Daniella. Go and I will watch from here”.&n
She persevered and pushed all thought of Derek to the back of her mind, along with the strange feelings she was having towards the man beside her. She looked up to the man again and pretended to had heard what he just said. It seemed that the man noticed that she seemed to wince anytime she took a sip of her drink,, so he suggested that she tries another one. A waiter instantly hovered towards them, immediately the man clicked his finger, showing her the difference in how people treated the wealthy compared to the normal people in this place. He was also probably a regular customer, and the owner looked like he made sure this man was kept happy by giving him his personal waiter when he entered the premises.He said something to the waiter, and the waiter immediately left to do his bidding. A few minutes later, she saw the waiter walk back towards their table with 4 different drinks in fancy shaped glasses,, and he carefully set them down on their table. The man beside her the
Daniella breathed deeply, trying her best to calm herself. It was really hard for her to do so, but the thought of Lucia miraculously helped her lower her skyrocketing blood pressure.She was about to glance on her Lucia again when suddenly, another fool appeared before her. This fool purposely spilled his drink on her! She knew he did because he had an annoying smirk on his face instead of an apologetic one. Daniella finally snapped! Why was there no end to the number of fools lurking around this place tonight? Why tonight?The anger she was trying so hard to keep at bay burst out like an erupting volcano, and she immediately grabbed the fool’s collar with such force that the man’s eyes widened in surprise. She looked at him in furious eyes, and if looks could kill, he would have already dropped dead on the ground.Another man came and surrounded her as she pulled the man’s necktie, trying to choke him. It seemed these guys were th
Taking advantage of her worry, the CEO guy stood up and offered his hand to her. “Come, I will help you look for her, okay?” The man said, and Lucia looked at him with some hesitation, but eventually, her worry about Daniella won the battle.“Okay” she said and stood up without accepting his hands.“Follow me” he gave out a wicked smile, without Lucia noticing.“Okay” she said. Her eyes were scanning the faces in the crowd, so she didn't see the glint in his eyes as he led her to the female restroom.Lucia's worry over her friend sobered her up a little, and when she saw the restroom, she didn't hesitate to go in to see if she could see her friend Daniella.The female restroom was dimly lit, but Lucia did not worry about all that, and immediately called out. “ Daniella? Are you there?”There was no response. Some cubicle doors seemed to be shut, but she pushe
Argh!! Let go off me!!! Help me Derek!!! Lucia didn't know why she had to mention that man's name when it should have been Daniella's. She was calling a man who rejected her and probably thinks she won't see him again. Why would she call out for a man who she knew wouldn't hear her? Daniella!!! Help me!!! Lucia screamed as she couldn't control the tears from pouring out from her eyes. The man reacted immediately and was about trying to cover her mouth, preventing her to attract attention when he heard a bang behind him. The man turned around and was already prepared to yell at whoever distracted him from this moment, but his words were tucked on his throat, they were unable to come out. His eyes nearly bulged out from it socket because the locked cubicle door was no longer there. It looked as if the door was ripped off from it hinges and thrown away to the other side of the bathroom. Here comes the Demon! “W… Who…” before he coul
Lucia shivered as her shoulders started to shake. His ice-cold voice woke her up from her frozen shock and her body started to react.Everything happened so fast that she just couldn't process it when it was happening, not even until now.One seconds, she was inside the restroom alone with that man, and he was about to… To…She started breathing fast as her heart pounded loudly in her ears,, but her brain pushed through in processing the situation.He was about to… But then, the cubicle door disappeared and the man too.She had closed her eyes as the man closed in on her and in the next seconds, she just felt air swoosh through her face and the man was gone. She was shocked,, but then relief flooded her body. The man was gone! She was safe now, he is gone…She didn't even think of what had happened to that man, or where he had disappeared to, only that he was finally gone.But
