After taking a long nap, Helena pulled herself together and searched for her belongings inside the room. She scans the room and she saw her purse on the table right beside the window. With her wobbly legs she gets down from the bed and walk with her little strength to get her things. After opening her purse, she took out her phone and saw tons of missed calls from her brother Danny. She dialed his number that was immediately answered from the first ring. But, Danny wasn't the one who answered it.
"HEY! What happened to you!?" -Maki.
"What do you mean? I just woke up, why do you sound like something bad happened?" She's already not in a good situation now and this brother of hers is making her headache worse.
"We've been calling you since last week!"-Maki
"What the hell are you talking about, I just had a conversation last night with brother Danny." she thought Maki is just pulling a prank on her.
"Are you stupid? Did you slept for a week? Are you a fucking bear?"-Maki
"Huh? What?" she asked confused, before Maki can answer her. Someone suddenly knocked on the door that made her turn her head that mafe her heache worsen. There, she saw the man whom she had a talk earlier looks at her with a smile.
"I-I'll talk to you later Maki, I just need to fix some things here." she didn't wait for Maki's reply and hang up on him.
Helena became even more cautious when the boss of this place suddenly walk in the room where she rest. Both of them didn't say anything until the man sat on one of the chair near the bed. She cleared her mind and directly looked into his eyes, she doesn't sense anything that will endanger her life so she grab the chance and talk first.
"Before I ask you anything, may I know your name first?" She thought, he won't answer her since she's just a stranger they've picked up at the park.
"Aerion."
That surprised her. It doesn't look like he's lying about his name tho and also it looks like there's no advantage of telling his real name to her, so Helena really can't tell if he's lying or not. Well it doesn't matter to her, as long as she make a deal with him and pay her debt, she will get away from this place immediately. There are many things that should be done, and she doesn't have the time to be lock up here and be under someone as dangerous as this man.
It looks like my dirty schemes won't work on him. Tch, how vexing.
This man looks like he'll just say the necessary words and won't add anything, so she continue talking.
"I bet you've already investigated me. But I'll still tell you my name. My name is Le-"
"Helena."
She shot him a glare as soon as she heard her real name. Although it might not look like she's hiding her real name, because she just removed two letters, still she doesn't like that name. It feels like she needs to change her name permanently, she'll do that once gets out of here.
"You-anyway, let's make a deal." without sugar coating her words, she drop her words just like that.
"Oh? What kind of deal?" she squinted her eyes when she heard him ask.
This guy probably have tons of women bouncing on his bed. Tch, not that I care. Such overwhelming face
"Let us-"
"Let's get married."
"Huuuh!?"
"You want to pay your savior right? I don't need money, I need a wife that can protect herself and I think you're perfect for that position."
"Woah! Wait! I can't marry!" She said angrily. What is this man thinking? Marrying him? How ridiculous!
"You've got no other option, it's either you say yes or..."
Aerion point his finger at the window, she understands what he wanted to say. There are assassins that will kill her the minute she say 'no' to this guy.
"You...who are you?" Helena ask, which made Aerion drop his smiling face and look at her with dangerous eyes.
"You don't need to know. Ryuji will be here shortly and talk to you about the contract." after saying that,he coldly look at her. "Don't die for a year, that's how you will pay me."
When she heard the door shut,that's the only time she remembered that she stopped breathing. She gasp for air when Aerion left.
"Heh~ what a tough opponent."
-----------------------------
Helena dialed his brother's number again. This time, it's her brother Danny who answered the phone.
"Oi, brother. Tell Maki, I'll kill him the next time we meet." after saying that, she heard someone laugh.
"Forgive him, he's just teasing you." -Danny.
"Tch.Tell him, I'll make Hannah break up with him."
"Hey! You devil! Don't pollute Hannah's mind! It's just a little prank!"-Maki.
"What? I can't hear you. Brother Danny, can you kill that fly, it kept on buzzing on the phone?"
"Maki, seal your lips for a moment. Anyway....Jack was seen looking at our Diner House from his car yesterday."-Danny
"I'll make a call, you guys need more bodyguard. I'll also tighten the security around the villa, make sure you let the guards handle it if something happen."
"Stop being so worried, he won't be able to harm us." -Danny.
"I'll never stop worrying if he's still breathing, we still don't know why he kept on spying us for five years already. I can't even report him to the police, since he got got the money to seal their lips. Just take care brother. I'll be home next week."
She frowned when she didn't hear his brother's reply, she was about to say something again when Danny replied.
"Take care as well Lena."-Danny.
Did something happen? She felt like her brother wanted to say something to her.
Helena was about to dial another number when she remembered something. She needs to be careful, everything she do here will heard by that Aerion. She look around and there she saw the door of the bathroom. She grab her purse and went in. The purse she always carry have its secret pocket. She took out her other phone, it's her untraceable phone.It's thin enough for someone to notice it. She made it herself. She use this whenever she wants to make a call to someone who doesn't give a fuck about the law.
-----------------------------
Meanwhile, after leaving the room where the woman named Helena was resting. Aerion made his way back to his office. After sitting down on his swivel chair, he turned on his laptop and watch what will be the woman's next move.
She made a call and it looks like she suddenly look worried. He focus his eyes on her face when the woman directly look at the cctv camera in her room, he thought that the woman will do something unnecessary, like destroy the camera, but she didn't. She took her purse and make her way to the bathroom. After seeing that he close the laptop and look at his secretary, Ryuji.
"She didn't make another phone call young master." Ryuji answered without being ask. They will know once she made another phone call, they've hacked her phone.
"They will soon arrive, do your best in making them...comfortable."
"Yes, young master." after that Ryuji left the office.
The sinister atmosphere intensified when he's already alone, a smile made it's way to his lips. The moon shining brightly, the trees waving and the owl's sounds, the beauty of the night combined with the beautiful man standing by the window with a gleam in his eyes. Yeah, what a beautiful night.
