The strange man glanced at Darlene one more time.
He then looked at Wayde and Tristan
"Get rid of her....all of her" the strange man said and the other guys nodded nonchalantly.
Tristan had a peculiar smile as he looked at Darlene. Seeing that the strange man was about to leave...he quickly said with a bowed head "Master....Brother Wayde...I see no need for you two to stress over such a trivial matter"
"Brother Wayde..I don't mind handling this alone...you can leave with the master" Tristan said with that signature grin on his face.
The strange man didn't have time for Tristan's play and said "I don't care what you do to her but I want her out...today"
With that, the strange man disappeared like a ghost.
Tristan glanced at Wayde with a raised brow. Wayde just remained emotionless and he also turned around and just like that he was gone.
Tristan grinned at himself and he turned to face Darlene.
Darlene felt a weight lifted off her shoulders the moment Wayde left and she felt ectic.
She planned on getting up and fighting her way out of here but when Tristan looked at her with that predator gaze, she froze as she felt a shiver run down her spine.
Tristan's eyes glowed and he walked towards Darlene.
Darlene was shaking, she felt a serious sense of danger but she couldn't move.
Tristan grinned even more "Don't worry hun....I won't bite...who am I kidding I probably will"
Darlene looked to the side she wanted to run.
"Ohhh...come on hun...look at me, you should be thanking me...if Wayde was still around.....you'd be dead by now" Tristan said in a playful voice.
Darlene looked into his eyes as if she was tranced by his voice and command.
"Don't worry.....we're just gonna have a little bit off fun before I say goodbye....."
.....
.....Monday, the next week....
Eva sat at the teachers desk at recess and she watched Avry as she spoke with her friends.
Avry felt someone watching her and she glanced back to find Eva looking at her. She waved at Eva in excitement.
Eva smiled at her and jestured for her to come by.
"Morning Miss Eva" Avry cheerfully said.
"Morning Avry. How are you" Eva asked.
"Am good Miss Eva" she responded.
Eva hesitated but then asked "How is your elder brother doing"
Avry smiled in surprise and readily answered "He's OK Miss Eva"
Eva smiled "That's good....By the way, who's gonna pick you up today...is it your brother"
Avry saw the expectant look in her favourite teacher's eyes and she mistook it for Miss Eva missing her brother.
Eva was having contrary thoughts though 'I need to return this money...it's way too much'
"It's not my brother picking me up...it will be the driver picking me up until my brother finds me a new caretaker" Avry said.
Eva nodded but there was slight disappointment in her eyes.
"OK....but he's still coming this Friday right" Eva asked and Avry nodded.
"Alright....you can get back to your friends now"
"Bye Miss Eva"
"Bye"
........
That evening Eva was surprised to get out of the school building to find a silver grey Mercedes Benz AMG SL 63 parked in the parking lot.
The car had it's roof drawn back so Eva could see the person sitted at the drivers seat.
It was a lady in her twenties. She had ash grey hair and forest green eyes. Her face was as gorgeous as a models and so was her figure.
Eva was pleasantly surprised as she walked to the car "Danielle...what are you doing here" Eva asked as she stood by the car.
The lady grinned "Am here to pick up my baby ofcourse"
"Come on.... get in" Danielle said as she looked at Eva.
Eva got in the car "Aren't you supposed to be in New York for a contract signing"
"Yeahhhh.....I finished signing the contract and came back...I missed you so here I am" Danielle proudly said.
Eva chuckled "Sooo...how was New York....do anything interesting"
"Nothing much....but guess what..?" Danielle said in a bit of excitement.
Eva looked at her patiently.
"You won't believe who I met in New York when I'd just arrived.....can you believe I meet Louis Rain"
"Gawd...he's even cuter than I imagined...gawd that face was out of this world"
"Gawd am in love....and he's so rich I wouldn't have to worry about my wellbeing for many, many lifetimes"
Danielle dreamily spoke about Louis Rain and Eva just listened in amusement.
Danielle had always had a liking for handsome men....I mean which girl didn't and to better it off...this guy Louis Rain was so rich you'd become bored being as rich as him.
Yeah Danielle was rich and came from a wealthy family but when compared to Louis Rain....her family couldn't hold a candle.
He was also a model and actor and Danielle was head over hills for him.
For some reason Eva couldn't help but be drawn back to Avry's brother...Zarian Cain Walker.
Eva was a hundred percent sure that she had never seen a man that good looking before.....even Louis Rain was no match for Avry's brother in terms of looks.
Yet that man seemed surreal and out of this world....but something about him and his mysteriousness left Eva curious.
She didn't know why.....this guy's image had refused to leave her mind and all she could do was think about him.
Maybe it was because he had given her ten million dollars as a thankyou gift.
Maybe she'd stop thinking about him once she returned his money.
But.......then again...that man...
"Hey...Earth to Eva....can you hear me.....hellooooooo..."
Danielle called out as she waved her hand at Eva.
Eva snapped out of her daze and looked at Danielle blankly.
"You were fazing out there....what got you thinking so deep" Danielle couldn't help but ask.
"Zarian" Eva subconsciously said in a small voice.
She immediately covered her mouth after realising that she had spoken her thoughts out loud.
"What did you say" Danielle asked again wondering if she'd heard things.
'Did Eva just admit to thinking about a guy...what did she call him again' Danielle was excited and looked at Eva both in surprise and teasing.
"Pretend you didn't hear a thing" Eva hurriedly said.
Danielle's grin broadened 'I must have heard it right or she wouldn't be acting this weird'
Danielle looked at Eva who was trying to act tough and ignorant yet she was a blushing mess.
"Baby...I hope you know that you can share with me about your relationships and friends...you know..am here for you"
"If your eyes caught sight of a big fish...you can tell me..or if there's that somebody you just can't stop thinking about....."
Danielle started but was immediately interrupted "Hey..hey..hey...don't start making assumptions" Eva defensively said.
Danielle eyed her friend that I know something is going on look.
