" He had fear in his eyes today. It's not something a boyfriend would have for her girlfriends father. It's something else."
" Uncle I request you to search about him more. What if he is a psychopath? Or serial killer? Or a abusive person? I don't want my best friend to suffer in the long run uncle."
Mr. Mariano chuckled hearing Sofia's concern. " Okay dear. I'll search about him again. This time I'll search myself. Just keep an eye on him for me. Make sure that my angel doesn't get hurt for him or from him."
" I'll do as far as I can do uncle. But make it soon. It will seem as a normal happy relationship and Aurora is happy too I know but I couldn't help worrying. I was not worried at first but when he ghosted Aurora, seeing that vulnerable situation of my bestie I couldn't help thinking that does he even have any feelings for her? How can someone mentally torture their lover this much? I want her to be the happiest girl in the world uncle cause she deserves the best. If Ryan even has one single red flag that will hurt her then make sure to remove him from her life."
Mr. Mariano smiled hearing the words. " When did you grow up this much Sofia? You will grow up as a fine mature woman I'm sure. I'm so proud of you my child." He said smiling.
Sofia smiled too. " Thank you uncle. You continue your work. See you in the morning. Good night."
" Good night dear."
Sofia got out of the room. Mr. Marianos face became hard this time.
" He has tortured my little girl this much?? My sweet little angel didn't even tell me about her misery. Oh God! Why did you put me in such situation!" He said frustratedly.
Then he called someone. After one ring the other side picked up the call like he knew the Emperor would call him this late.
" Yes Emperor."
" Andrew where are you now?" Mr. Mariano said coldly.
" In the base Emperor."
" I need you to give me every information about a boy in details."
" Anything you want Sir. What is the name?"
" No. Name won't do. I'll send you a picture. Search the whole underworld and outer world and find me every details about him."
" Emperor isn't he young masters boyfriend?" Andrew asked looking at the picture.
" Yes. He seems unusual to me. How much time do you need?"
" I can't exactly say Emperor. If he belongs to a mafia there is a chance that his group has given a fake profile and hid the actual one. I'll try my best."
" Do it as fast as possible. I don't want any risk around my daughter. She won't hear me out without proof. If you find anything bad then inform me at the exact time."
" Sure Emperor."
Mr. Mariano cut the call.
" If I find out that you are from mafia and you are here to harm my daughter Ryan, I'll cut you into pieces and fed them to street dogs." Mr. Mariano told himself and again started doing his work.
Ryan would get panic attack anytime. He had met the Emperor of UNDOCILE and he knew that the Emperor had felt him unusual. He controlled himself not to freak out and called Mr. Gallo.
" What is it this time?" Mr. Gallo said with a neutral voice.
" The Emperor is back. Today I have met him. I'm sure he has felt something unusual."
" What the fuck are you saying? Why the hell did you go in front of him?" Mr. Gallo shouted.
" Don't shout! I didn't go there knowing he is back. What should I do now?"
" You always fuck up something! Agghhh... did he inquire you or something? Did you do anything noticeable?"
" I tried to not freak out. I tried to put on the best act. But you know well how sharp his eyes are!"
" You have to finish this soon. I'll try to mix up your information so that it takes time for him to find out about you. But do your job fast or else I won't be able to help you."
" It's high time. I have to finish it." saying that Ryan cut the call.
Next day in school in break time Ryan and Aurora was eating in the cafeteria. Sofia was again in library.
" Baby what are we going to do in our anniversary?" Ryan asked while eating.
" What do you want to do? Do you have any plans? It's almost 1 year! How exciting babe!" Aurora said with excitement.
" What if I want something from you? Will you give it to me?" Ryan asked getting closer to Aurora.
Aurora gulped feeling the closeness between them.
" What are you doing? We are in cafeteria. Anyone will see us." Aurora said lowly.
Ryan didn't back out but stayed in his place and kept looking at Aurora intensely.
" So should we go somewhere private?" Ryan whispered.
Aurora started blushing hearing that. Ryan forgot his main reason to do all these. He kept looking at Aurora. How beautiful she was looking! Ryan removed the thought fastly and again concentrated on his main work.
" Yeah. We can go. Finish your lunch then." Aurora said looking down in shyness.
Ryan hurriedly stood up and said, " I'm done. Let's go then." He hold Auroras hand and ran out of the cafeteria.
Aurora was totally astonished at the suddenness.
" Where are we going Ryan?" She asked after a while.
" Somewhere private honey." He said and kept going. Soon they came to the terrace.
" We are not allowed here babe. Isn't it against the rules?" Aurora asked being afraid of getting caught.
" Who cares about those rules baby? The only thing I care is our alone time." Ryan said pulling Aurora closer to him by her waist. Aurora again blushed feeling the closeness.
"Is my baby shy?" Ryan asked and kept looking at Aurora.
Aurora looked up and kept looking at Ryan. She put her head on Ryans chest.
" You wanted to ask something?" She asked in that position.
" I want a gift for our anniversary."
" What do you want?" Aurora asked looking up to him.
" Our alone time. I want to enjoy the whole day with you alone. Without guards, without Sofia. Just you and me. Can you make it happen baby? Please for one time only?"
Aurora felt bad hearing him. It's like he was begging him for their alone time. She didn't like it. She didn't like when her loved ones felt vulnerable about anything.
