Luciana trailed up the stairs, to the bedroom Celina directed her to. Her mind went back to her house,are they Missing her? Will they come for her? She placed her things on the floor and pushed the door in.
The sweet fragrance of roses and tulips welcomed her as she walked in. The room looks nothing like her plain white room. Beautiful curtains draped the floor to ceiling window while the wall was painted in lilac color.
She moved to the bathroom, checking it out as she smiled. "First things first." She muttered, pulling her bag to the wardrobe.
She began arranging the clothes,shoes and other accessories before taking her clothes off and walking into the bathroom.
In no time,she was done,and she began putting her clothes on. Her stomach rumbled, reminding her she'd not eaten in the last fifteen hours.
Looking at the room for the last time,she walked out. She needed to feed her stomach,and feed her self with answers about Celina.
**********************
Celina hummed and moved her body to the song playing as she set the last plate on the dining table. She was about turning around when she heard soft footsteps behind her.
"Oh you're down already. I was about coming to call you." She said as Luciana nodded. Luciana's eyes never left Celina for a minute.
The woman looked strange and she wasn't going to rest until she knows who this is. "You said my father sent you,then why haven't I seen you before? Why?" She asked calmly and noticed the womans shoulder tensed a little.
"I don't live with the clan. Am always away,on errands." She replied and hoped her answer wasn't weak.
She knew Luciana wasn't as dull and stupid as people said she was. She knew the girl standing a few feet away from her was more than smart so she really hoped she'd buy the story.
"Okay. Am really famished." Luciana replied before pulling a chair out and planting her butt on it.
"So have you thought of what to do? What are your_"
"Do you mean my field of learning?" She asked, cutting Celina short as she nodded. "Though I was home schooled,am well grounded in businesses administration." She replied and Celina nodded.
"Alright. I'll check around for any job vacancies. Once I see one, I'll let you know." She said and stood up, walking up the stairs.
Luciana knows there's more for her to know about this woman,it might be good or bad but she wasn't going to trust her fully.

"Lord Duncan,your niece is here to see you." Lycan announced as Duncan tensed for a while. He didn't want to think about Keira,he knew she'd definitely ask for her mother, that was certain. He doesn't know how to tell her about the death of her only surviving parent. Yet, here she was, seeking him out.
He braced himself for her appearance as he nodded to Lycan. "Let her in." He replied, doing the last of his buttons and sliding his wristwatch on.
Keira walked slowly into the room as he turned to look at her. "Father_?" She called and something in his guts hit him hard. Since she didn't know her father,she settled for calling him father.
She walked to him and wrapped her hands around his legs. She's just seven,still a child and guilt ate him up.
"Mama is gone." She said lowly and he noticed she was crying. "But she's forever with us." He replied, picking her up and looking into her eyes.
"She's with us even in her grave. She is." He replied as she nodded,tears washing down her pink face.

"Good morning sir. This way please." The chubby secretary directed him as they walked through several lobbies. He wasn't the type to keep conversations, especially with employees so he just looked around while she led him on.
She opened the door to the boardroom and he walked in. Everyone stood, acknowledging him as he nodded.
The meeting commenced with the secretary of the company showing a chart for the up coming sales. His secretary stood behind him, passing the files and documents to him.
He listened tentatively, making sure he didn't miss out on any detail. He didn't want to ask Sara his secretary.
After the meeting,he stood up and was about walking out when his cellphone rang. He walked out of the boardroom, heading to his office as he spoke to the director of the textile company.
"Sara,make sure to place a vacancy for the post of a personal assistant." He said as she typed it on her iPad. Sara nodded vigorously and waited for his next words.
He rarely comes to the office,he prefers working at home and he never lets her into his house,no employee has ever been to his house.
That was something strange about him. Once he's in the building, everyone becomes tense. He fires anyone who does anything wrong without thinking twice.
She also heard she's spent the longest time here as his secretary. The last one lasted for just six hours, some didn't even last for one hour. He raised his head up and looked at her.
"Get out." The order was loud and clear,she didn't even think twice before scurrying out of his office.
*************************
It's been three days since she got to Oklahoma yet her parents didn't see it right to call her. She closed her eyes, sipping the coffee, inhaling the sweet aroma as soft footsteps made her open her eyes.
"Good morning Luciana,sure you had a good night rest" Celina said as she nodded. "Yeah,you?" She asked and Celina shrugged.
"Yeah I did. Before I forget,I hope you haven't for_"
"Of course not. I'll not let you down." She replied as Celina nodded.
Celina had quickly found two job vacancies,one at a mall as a cashier then the second at a bank. She really hoped they'd give Luciana the job.
"Come on let's go sight seeing." Celina said as Luciana nodded before rushing up the stairs. Celina sniffed the air and Immediately she knew they were being spied on.
Celina knew the minute they had company around the environment. She sniffed it, smelt the black wolf which hid behind a tree. She looked at the door, locking it instantly with her eyes and shutting the windows also.
She knew who it was,knew why he was here and she wasn't ready to let them get their target.
She wasn't scared of him but she was definitely scared of the person who sent him. She knew he wouldn't think twice before killing her, wouldn't even have a second thought.
She walked up the stairs, looking backwards until she got to luciana's door. "Luciana." She called but heard no response.
She pushed the door in and saw the bathroom door locked. "Luciana. Something came up,I have to go over some things in my bedroom, we'll just go some other time." She said, hoping Luciana would understand.
"Alright. Besides I also need to practice for my interviews." She replied and Celina huffed a sigh of relief before walking out
