“Hey, officer. Can I borrow a phone?” I asked the policeman who passed by while I was inside the jail. He ignored me and just kept walking.
I’ve been incarcerated for three hours, and that antipathetic tycoon had left before I was put behind this jail. I was begging to borrow a phone, but they ignored me.
I sighed and immediately left near the railings. Fortunately, I was the only one in the cell and have been standing until now, asking them a favor to lend me a phone.
I swiftly sat down in the corner because I was already feeling tiredness in my body.
While sitting at the corner, I pressed my palms together. I didn’t expect that man to actually do what he said. Is he that desperate?
I don’t know how he got the arrest warrant, and I can’t do anything, especially since he showed them a video earlier as proof when the police interroga
“Good morning, sweetheart.”A familiar voice greeted me when I opened my eyes.I looked for my mother. She was standing in front of the enormous window and had just opened the closed cream-colored curtain.“How long have you been here?” I asked, still lying on the bed.“Can you hear your voice, sweetheart? You sound strained. How much did you spend drinking in a pub?” she asked, walking in my direction.“I just drank eight glasses of Roberta, mom. I’m not that intoxicated with alcohol,” I groaned when I tried to sit up from lying. My head hurt, and my back was in pain.“Then, do you know who brings you here?” I stared at my mother, who was walking towards me. She sat down next to me and swiftly stroked my hair.I tried to remember what happened
“Looks like your knight was at the right time, my damsel in distress.” I immediately stared at the face of the person next to me as he held the drunk man’s wrist. What is he doing here? “Who are you, asshole!” We both turned our gazes at the drunk man. “I’m her man,” the man beside me boldly said. He then released the drunk man’s hand forcedly, “Leave before my eyes cannot find the reason to spare you from touching my property.” My left brow raised as I turned my eyes again on the man beside me. “Excuse me?” I asked. He looks at me while grinning. “Are you okay?” “Don’t be so high on yourself, tycoon. I’m not your property. No one owns me.” “Well. No one also needs your permission. I can mark everything I want,” this tycoon said and then smirked while looking ba
“There will be a big auction at Tranquil that will happen tonight,” Chris said. We are inside the hideout, discussing our next move. I had lunch yesterday with that Zygo, and it did not go well. He had a lot of questions, but I remained silent the whole time while I was with him. I ignored his chatter. I did not assume that a tycoon like him was that kind of person. His mouth is more feminine than mine. “Dhara, are you listening?” I was startled by Clark’s question, but I tried to hide it. “Uh, yes. Go ahead.” “What kind of auction, Chris?” Tara asked; she’s beside me, firmly staring at Chris. “A jewelry and antique auction,” Chris answered. “Is it safe?” Clark asked with an unwelded voice. “We won’t know if we won’t try.” “What are you thinking, Chris! GD
“Let’s do our best,” Chris whispered while we walked inside the building. I turned behind us, and we were far between Tara and Clark. Many people wore formal attire while holding expensive wine glasses. We walk among the rippling crowds. “Besides the underground auction, what other event is going on tonight in this building, Chris?” I asked in a low voice as I anchored my hands on my friend’s arm. “A birthday party, but obviously, it’s just a cover of the ongoing auction behind. As I said earlier, Clark and Tara will attend the party, and we will enter the bidding.” Chris said as we walked continuously. Tara was against this because Chris chose me to be his partner at the auction. She even complained that Clark could go instead of me. Actually, I really don’t know why Chris asked me to be with him in the first place w
It’s already ten minutes since Chris left me while the auction for the Pandora ring’s still ongoing.“You look stunning. Just like the first time we saw each other, you are wearing black. A color used for sophisticated, brave, elegant, and mysterious person.”I immediately looked up. A man wearing a face mask was standing behind me.“Mind if I sit beside you, my damsel?” he asked, but then, he suddenly sat down without my answer.I was shocked because I prayed that our paths would never meet again last time, but the world is playing with me here.I let out a deep sigh, ignoring this tycoon’s existence. I focus on the platform. I couldn’t help but pursue my lips as I stared at the ring placed on the table.It was tempting me.“You like that?” the man beside
“Is this a real gold?” Tara asked while amusement enveloped her body. Chris nodded with a smiling face.“We almost got caught yesterday night,” Clark muttered with a lazy tone as he lay his back to the sofa.It’s already afternoon, and we are facing each other inside the headquarters.“Yes, almost!” Tara hissed and stared at Chris, “Even if we caught something precious as this Pandora, promise me, Chris, this is the last time that we will do such a tremendous plan.”Chris smirked and stared at me.“The important thing is that those goons did not seize us! Also, Gands likes the ring, so it’s worth it the suspense!”I raised my left brow but couldn’t help my lips from forming a curve. We looked at each other, making us laugh simultaneously, thinking about the chasing
“It’s you, my damsel.”Zygo muttered as he walked in my direction. I tightened my grip on the handlebar, pinning my feet on the ground to balance the rested bicycle.I gently bit my lower lip. I wanted to turn around and ride my bike away from this current place, but I couldn’t because someone was also waiting behind me.Zygo closed the gap within us by a single step, causing my chest to throb. Why do I feel intense? I shouldn’t feel it because I’m not at fault.“What are you doing in the street, lurking around alone?” He asked, making me knit my brows.“Excuse me?” Zygo just stared directly into my eyes and didn’t answer, then turned his eyes behind me.“Who are you?” He asked, pointing at the man behind me, causing me to tighten the grip on the handlebar even mor
“GD, are you okay?” Tara asked in the middle of the noisy crowd. I nodded. It’s been a few minutes since the rider wearing a red helmet left.“I’m fine, Tara. Are you enjoying this show?” I asked and gave her a stingy smile. She nodded her head along with a smile on her lips.“Yes. The twins are right. This place will help us enjoy the day. We all loved exciting things, and this is enough to bring ease to our minds.”“I’m glad that we did not turn down this offer,” I turned my gaze to Clark, that was standing next to Tara, “Where’s Chris?” I asked when my eyes couldn’t find his twin.“I have no idea where he has gone too. He just said that he had to buy something.”After Clark said those things, he focused his eyes on the riders who were moving along the rough terrains. I l
