Chapter 9 - Intertwined Fingers

Seeing the fierce gaze from him on what was going on with their fingers.

Suddenly his eyes widened. He was frozen to his spine. He looked at the girl in disbelief and awestruck.

How the hell is she this beautiful. At this point, his heart and brain, every or his body system were present in the law court.

Case, 'who is more beautiful, Nyla or Ava'.

Ava intertwined their fingers. Whatever he thought was kept to himself.

'Looks like he's got her for quite sometime now before Nyla found out about her'. He spoke to himself.

'He knows the password, does that mean that he....'. Before she could draw further conclusions.

Koda's voice echoed swiftly in her ears

"Could you wake him up?". He requested politely.

'Does he recognize me?'. She asked herself whilst patting Azai on the shoulder but he didn't respond.

She headed straight to his face. And although there wasn't any cheek fat, she found a part of his flesh to pinch.

She pulled it hard that he held her hand, slowly he swatted it away. Why did she interrupt his sleep.

He immensely glared at her. She narrowed her brow at him.

She pointed to the door, he looked in the direction she indicated and saw Koda's infuriating gaze on him.

Without hesitation, he put on an apologizing look. He hated Koda and that's a fact, but he is Nyla's relative. If no one is there to appraise him, he would end up like Nyla. No one in the family likes her.

He attempted to get up from the chair but his hand felt stuck. He looked at what it was and he saw her fingers intertwined with his.

"What was she doing to me?". She heard his self asked question.

She quickly released his hand. He furrowed his brow looking at her, slowly walking to where Koda was standing patiently for the both of them to end their whatsoever.

"Go upstairs", he indicated with his chin. Obviously she was seated there to listen to their conversation but she was obedient.

When she was gone Koda began,

"Nyla had been worried sick about you. She didn't hear from you in her last text. Her anger was all put on me, do you know that?".

"Then when I came back with pasta for us to eat, you rejected it. And now I see why you didn't reply to her. You've got a side chick".

Azai twitched his lips, reluctant to respond to him.

He knew Koda wants to get back at him for that pasta. Then again, he wanted to have a moment with dax, no one else.

"How long has she been with you, huhn?". When he realized he got no response from him, "Nyla...."

His statement was incomplete but already sounded like a threat. He smiled on the inside evilly.

All the while Koda was interrogating him, his eyes were glued somewhere and on someone.

Ava found it weird that he wasn't replying to Koda's questions. Her face rested on the knees while she keened her left ear.

When she raised up her head to see what was happening, she saw Azai's stern gaze on her.

She gasped heavily but it was low. She quickly stood up and ran upstairs to the room.

She closed the door lightly. " He knows what that man is talking about, that's why he didn't respond to his questions because I was present, who is Nyla?"

When she was gone, he looked at Koda in the eye. " Nyla must have...."

" Yes she told me everything but that doesn't mean that you didn't wrong her".

"How long has she been here". He was referring to Ava.

"Maybe a week". He replied after slightly tilting his head.

"A Week". He repeated with his voice harsh and loud.

" I replied to all her text messages except yesterday's. Besides you threaten me with Nyla, yeah she's single and we're not official but she might just end up really being single if you keep doing this".

"What do you mean?, he asked nor expecting a response, that someone else can't fall in love with her except you. Or because you've got an alternative". He was referring to Ava.

Like he never heard the last words. He walked to the refrigerator and took out a bottle of water.

"Cheers, close the door behind you". He left to his room leaving Koda to look like a fool.

"Cheers to what?", he asked out loud.

A servant came out and saw him still present in the house. He glared at her but he clearly knows that she is here to escort him out.

He turned around looking at the luxurious decors and design." You irk me", he said to Azai who wasn't even there.

He slammed the door. The servant rushed to lock it when she heard her name

"Mila, I'll lock it". " Yes master". She replied hesitantly as she was stunned by her master's words.

Azai walked down the stairs elegantly, feeling the luxurity of his mansion, with a slight grin on his face. He ran his fingers on the railings design on the stairs. There wasn't even a speck of dust.

When he got to the door. He looked at koda's McLaren P1.

" Pftt. Live with it". He said and locked the door.

When he got upstairs, he hesitated to open the door.

"Why is he wasting this much time. Perhaps he's planning something".

"Actually I didn't expect him to suspect that I never left, I mean I was so secretive". Ava paced about the room.

At last, the door opened widely. His eyes fixated on her.

She shivered because of the expression on his face which was totally void of emotions, so why was she scared.

He walked to the window bench and sat still, his immense gaze on her. She was amazed with his beauty and well proportioned body, although she had zero amount of feelings for him.

She laid on the bed slowly covering her head down to her toes. " I'm shielded ". She whispered to herself, that gave her mind protection not physical protection.
