It had been almost twenty minutes since they started their journey but it felt like an eternity because of the uncomfortable travel partner. Eryna who was already sick of the ride opened the window and let in the cold wind,
“Close the window, your hair is hitting my face,” An annoying voice spoke from behind, Eryna was about to turn around but that exact moment her eyes met some familiar sceneries along the way, Her eyes brightened up as she realized something. She turned around and looked at Micah with twinkling eyes and asked him with an excited tone,
“Where are we going?”
Micah was caught off guard as she suddenly closened up to him and asked him in a bright mood, Micah’s lip twitched as he blinked a few times before turning around to stare out of the window. Eryna waited for his reply but he didn’t bother telling her and kept his gaze on the window.
‘This prick...can’t you just answer such a simple question without acting arrogant?’
Eryna thought and then turned around to look at the driver,
She stuck her head out from between the two car seats and looked at the driver with a happy face.
“Sir, where are we headed too?”
“That- We are headed to the northern coastline, The resort is located there,” The drive replied.
With just these words Eryna’s face brightened up even more and she sat back in her seat, the window was still open but she closed it happily.
‘HAHA!! I thought this was something dreadful but turns out it was a blessing in disguise, They are taking me back home and that in their own car.’
Eryna stuck her head to the window beside her as her face was painted with a smile, she stared at the familiar road and waited for the journey to end soon.
The reached the resort sooner than expected, the car slowed down before a magnificent tall building, stopped before the main door. Eryna opened the door with her left hand as she was barely able to use her right hand.
She got off the car and stretched her sleepy legs, It was a peaceful place as the air was fresh. It had been just two days that Eryna had left this place but she could feel how much she had missed the air and the peaceful surrounding.
“Miss you seem to like this place,” The driver stood beside her and asked her.
Eryna who was caught off guard looked at him and replied with a smile.
“Very much, I wish I could stay here forever,” She replied joyously.
“You seem to wish for a lot of things,” Micah spoke grumpily and walked past her leisurely,
“Guess someone had been sitting on a hot stove,,” Eryna mumbled.
Micah stopped for a moment but didn’t turn to say anything before walking into the building.
Eryna followed without any other comments and they were warmly welcomed by the resort staff. And a lady in a black formal suit walked up to them and bowed a little before speaking.
“Let me walk you to your room.” She smiled warmly, but for some reason, Eryna felt something was off.
………………………...
‘What is this situation? I didn’t sign up for this.’
Eryna stood in the midst of a room with Micah standing right in front of her, The room was decorated with red and white roses and the white comfy bed had a huge heart made out of rose petals.
There were candles all over the room accompanied by the faint and soothing smell of roses and lavender.
Micah glared at Eryna with a suspicious gaze.“What are you looking at? Do you think I made them do all this?”
‘Is he nuts? Does he think I am that desperate?’
At Eryna’s confident claim Micah looked at the lady in black who had a smirk on her face.
“Call the manager, “ With an almost murderous voice Micah growled at the smirking lady.
“But…” she tried to speak but Micah spoke again.
“If you don’t wish to lose your job, THEN CALL THE MANAGER!.” He growled
The lady ran out of the room leaving Eryna alone with Micah. He looked around the room and slowly his gaze wandered back towards Eryna. Micah’s eyes were curious but Eryna felt like he was mocking her.
“Oh, Please. Just like you said I was only here for your money. I don’t have interest in men like you,”
He glared back at her one last time before walking out of the room.
“HA, He thought I would let him belittle me every time we see each other.” Eryna stared at the closed door with a smug face.
“Phew! I am tired…” Eryna threw her body over the soft comfy bed.
The soothing environment made Eryna sleepy, but just as she was about to close her eyes she heard a knock on the door. She reluctantly got up of her bed and dragged her tired body towards the door.
“Who is it?”
She opened the door to see a maid standing before her door.
“Miss, the food is ready you are requested to come to the dining room.”
She spoke with the utmost respect.
“Okay, let’s go,” Eryna was hungry so she walked behind her through the long hallway. And finally, she stood before a magnificent wooden door and pushed it open.
‘You may enter,” She looked at Eryna and spoke.
Eryna stepped into the hall like a room with multiple tables, and in the far most corner, she saw a figure emitted a dark aura.
“Miss. This way,” The maid pointed but Eryna replied with a smile.
“Thanks, I will go on my own,” And she walked towards the table with a smile. For some reason, Eryna had noticed that whenever she smiled at him his expression would become very uncomfortable and she had fun teasing him like that so she kept a bright smile on her face.
She was just a few steps away from the table when her heel slipped on the marble floor, which caused her to lose her balance. Her heart leaped out of her chest and she tightly closed her eyes involuntarily.
‘Grab…
Before she could hit the floor someone grabbed her in the mid-air and supported her body against his firm chest.
‘Did he just save me from falling?’ Eryna was speechless she opened her eyes to confirm that what she thought was true and then, her eyes were welcomed by a pair of attractive brown eyes. His facial features were distinct, his lips slightly twitched and he spoke.
“Are you alright Miss?” the handsome guy asked in an attractive voice.
‘Wow...Where did he come from? That was fast’
Eryna lifted her body and took a step away from the guy and smiled.
“Thank you so much for helping me out, or I would have definitely broken my back.” Eryna giggled.
“Aren’t you sitting?” She heard Micah’s overbearing voice.
She looked at him with an angry expression.
“Can’t you see I am thanking my lifesaver?” Eryna spoke sarcastically.
“You think you would have died by slipping on the floor?” He replied in an equally sarcastic tone.
Eryna glared at him.
“Whatever,” she said and turned around, “Thanks again,” She spoke gracefully.
Eryna had taken her seat beside the table where Micah sat. The waiters slowly brought in the food, The rich aroma of the steak on the table brought water to Eryna’s mouth as she looked at it with a romantic gaze.“Are you satisfied with the dishes,” A familiar voice spoke from Eryna&rs
Because of the excitement of meeting Simba, Eryna woke up early. She dressed up warmly as it was cold outside though the sky was clear.She wore a red woolen turtle neck dress that reached her thighs and a pair of long boots that were knee-length.She let down her bouncy black hair and wrapped a scarf around her neck. Her reflection in the mirror looked innocent as her clear eyes reflected the bright light coming in from the window.She walked sneakily out of the room and into the elevator. The guy on the duty blushed at the sight of her. But then fixed his posture and asked.“Which floor madam?”“The first floor please.” She spoke lig
Micah was in his room sorting out papers when a servant entered his room, With breakfast.He glanced at her for a second and then spoke.“Put it on the table,” He directed him towards the coffee table beside the window.The servant placed the try on the table and bowed slightly before leaving.“Wait!” Micah called out.“Yes, Master?” The servant jumped in fright as he suddenly called out upon her.“That-Has Renya already eaten her breakfast?” He spoke in a mumble.
“Stop!...”Eryna held the doorknob and she was about to push it open when Micah stopped her.“Hmm?” Eryna stared at him with a questioning gaze.“Where were you?”“Why? Did you miss me while I was away?” Eryna asked with a smudge.“As if! I am here to tell you that Grandpa called, He will be here in no time. We are going to have dinner with him...Get ready.”Micah spoke with a stoic face.“Hmm...I thought you would say that you missed me while I was away! Sigh…okay I will get ready f
The night went by peacefully which seemed odd.Knock...Knock...Knock,Someone was at the door,But neither of them were fully awake. Eryna heard the knock on the door, and she wanted to get up, but as she tried to pull her body up, she felt a force holding onto her waist and an unusual firm surface below her cheek which definitely was not a pillow. Eryna wriggled and tried to set herself free, still in her sleep when suddenly it struck her.She felt like her heart had skipped out of her chest as she pulled her body out of the bounds around her waist and distanced herself from the person who was holding on to her. Micah got disturbed by the sudden motion and opened his eyes. Eryna was the first thing that welcomed his eyes which cau
The truck took a turn and drove through a rough road, it was bouncy and Eryna grabbed onto the sides of the trunk as she gazed around the beautiful fruit orchards, she got excited and forgot about her hurt feet and an injured hand.The number of injuries she had in a few days was surprising.The bumpy road came to an end when the truck stopped before the gate of a country house. It looked big yet old but at a glance, one could tell how well it was kept.The grandpa walked out of the truck and stood by the trunk with a smiling face. He looked happy when he saw Eryna staring back at him with a happy face.“Hop out, I will take you to meet my wife, she will be very happy to see you,” he gestured with his hand as he called Eryna out.
Just like the lovely grandpa had promised he brought Eryna back to the mansion the first thing in the morning, The truck stopped before the mansion’s gate and Eryna got off the front seat. She lightly waved her hand back at Grandpa...His name was Liam Oliver.“Thank you for helping me out! I don’t know how I will repay you,” Eryna was seriously touched by their hospitality and spoke with her heartfelt emotions.“You can repay me with one thing?” He replied with a blissful smile.“What’s that?” Eryna wanted to return them their kindness so she asked as she placed her arms over the open window of the car.“Visit us often...You can pay it off like that..
The airport was packed, the passengers were dragging their luggage in every direction.In the midst of all this crowd, There were about ten men wearing black suits, they had sharp gazes scanning the crowds, they were here to accompany someone but they looked more like they were here to catch a prisoner on the run.“Any sign of him?” One of them mumbled into the earpiece.“The top floor is clear, no sign of him here…” The other replied.“Nothing suspicious at the exit.” Another one reported.“Keep your eyes open, his plane has landed 15 minutes ago, He must be in the crowd, We cannot lose him…&rdq
