Chapter 9 - chapter eight

"you're awake!" Laura rang into the air immediately dorian opened her eyes. Dorian gasped lightly and tried to sit up from the bed she had been sleeping on. She scrutinized the unfamiliar room for a while. It wasn't the room she and Laura were in earlier. What happened?

She was about to ask Laura why she was here when she remembered she had fainted from fatigue earlier. Everything that happened in the room flashed through her, she had been so exhausted from it that she fell unconscious.

"Where is this place?" Dorian asked in amazement. The room was totally different 

and more beautiful than the one previous one.

The floor made with marble tiles made the room look more enchanting and glowy, Flush crystal and ceiling mount multicolored led chandeliers hung beautifully around the room creating a romantic view for whoever was in it, halloulure modern nightstand, a king sized bed she was laying on, topfinel woolen cushion and throw pillows, faux rug placed at the bed side and many more gave the room an expensive look.

Dorian mouth opened agape as she took in the room beauty. Laura had done the same when she first sighted the room that the boys thought she'd gone crazy. Dorian wondered if she was still on earth or not because the beauty of the room was beyond what one could imagine.

"This is anner's room. Darren's doctor was unavailable so Tanner offered his doctor to treat you instead" Laura explained with a concerned look on her face, placing a hand on dorian's fore head to check her temperature. "You're getting better" 

"Yes, I am. Where are they?" Dorian asked, fear visible in her hazel eyes. She'd been surprised when Laura told her tanner's doctor had treated her. She wondered why he offered to help her in the first place. He didn't like seeing her and would not hesitate to bully her once he does, how could he have called his doctor to treat her and even had her sleeping on his bed? Where was the luck coming from?

"It's okay dorian. I made a deal with darren and he'd promised he would stop bullying you and I'm sure he'll keep his words, won't he?"

" And you think they will really stop bullying me? Those people have been doing this for the past few years and nothing's changed. Do you think he'll stop just because you threatened him?" Dorian asked fearfully, her eyes searching for answers from Laura. She really wished the bullying would stop.

"What are you saying? They wouldn't dare, he already agreed to the condition I gave him" Laura protested. She was sure darren would comply.

Dorian shook her head painfully. Her friend was too dumb to see things.

"How dumb are you? You made a deal with him and you believed him? Can't you tell he was only trying to trick you, learn the truth from you and show you how stupid you are to have taken his words serious. Even if the secrets you have of him are real, do you have any evidence to back it up?" Dorian asked her friend with creasd brows " c'mon Laura, he's smarter than us!"

Laura's eyelids dropped in realisation. Indeed, she had no evidence to back the truth even if she told the whole school about it. She'd have made a fool out of herself if she did.

Darren must have known this and kept mute about it because he was trying to make her believe he would comply with her condition. How could she have forgotten he was the school genius and the town's billionaire who had thousands of bodyguards, maids and chauffeurs. How could she have thought someone like her could tame him? Dorian was indeed right.

"I...I...."

"It's okay Laura. You've tried enough for me, i don't want you to get involved anymore" she said sadly, not baiting an eyelid at her.

Suddenly, the door flung open, revealing the two handsome devils, walking forward with an aura of nobleness and aloofness. They were wearing yellow office suits, each of their first two buttons unbuttoned. 

Tanner's hair curled up around his head like a baby's while one of his ears held a golden earring, he looked really enchanting and hot. He walked over to the bed side and sat beside Dorian on the bed who held onto the bedspread nervously, findling with the designs while acting like wasn't aware Tanner was beside her.

Darren took a seat beside laura who was already freaking out at nothing in particular.

He scoffed at her reaction, finding it unexpectedly cute as he couldn't resist staring at her because it made her feel uncomfortable.

"How're you feeling now? The doctor said you were running a fever and gave you a few injections saying you'd be alright after a while" tanner said with empathy, his eyes hovering all over her. "I was so worried"

Dorian coughed out loud when she heard him say he was worried about her. She wondered if she heard him wrongly because the tanner she knew would never say something like that.

She composed herself and replied "I'm fine, thank you" and turned her gaze back to laura "when are we going back home?"

Laura pressed her lips together and was about to reply when tanner interrupted " you're not going anytime soon. Have you forgotten Darren kidnapped you?"

Yeah, she'd forgotten.

Dorian swallowed and averted her gaze to darren, silently waiting for him toet them go but Darren was lost in thoughts and wasn't ready to free them any time soon.

"Darren" Laura started with a soft expression "you're a smart person and cannot be ridiculed .I'm sorry for trying to blackmail you earlier on. I've realized how stupid I was" 

Darren withdrew his thoughts and started at Laura for a while, absorbing her features slowly. A brunette with bright brown eyes, thin nose, full Rosy lips and an oval shaped face. She was really a wonder. He had to admit she was beautiful and charming. He watched in fantasy as her lips moved sexily as she talked.
