Fabio took his car and went to the location he had given. As soon as he arrived, a lady in red came out of the car. Her look is a temptation to any man's imagination having her face and her body. Her soft voice is like an angel. No one would be suspicious that she is a certified assassin.
"They're beginning to move, Valerie." He uttered. "I need you to locate Felix Go and his wife while I pay a visit that friend of mine." excitement is evident in his eyes.
This brings disgust to the lady. "If she is not useful anymore I can easily rip her throat and smash her face."
"No. You will never lay that dirty hands of yours on her." The girl was dumbfounded. "I will make her my wife."
"Are you falling in love with her?" she asked her hands fidgeting. "Cause if you do, you know I can do worst things you can imagine." She said in her warning tone.
"Just try touching even the tip of her hair and you will never see tomorrow." The lady turned pale. She didn't expect him to be this unpleasant towards her when he was so gentle ever since. "I have no intentions of falling to anyone, even for you. Know your place. I will use you whenever I want and in my advantages. You will never be a reason of my downfall.
"F-forgive my manners, Señorito." She said softly.
"All my investigations lead to that woman, she holds the key. Now is the time to make a move." He said with sinister smile. "Sooner, you can have your revenge and I can have my power. Now, prepare the plane. I need to go Philadelphia first thing in the morning."
While Fabio was giving instruction to the lady, Lellouch on the other hand found out about the attack on her parents' home. She rushed home from Philadelphia towards her hometown to Oakville taking the early bus at 5:46 in the morning. She reached home two hours ahead midnight.
She paled instantly when she found the house wrecked and burned. Quickly she rampaged towards the ruins and went straight to the back of the house, behind the bushes. Making sure no one noticed. It so dark but she didn't mind. She was going to enter the secret door someone covered her mouth and grabbed her chest. In a panicked she started wiggling. When the hand loosened, she took the chance to bit it as hard as she could.
"Shit!" the man hissed and loss his balance causing them to tumble in the bushes.
A good timing indeed, since a group of armed men came out of a car and started roaming the area. Her mouth was covered again by the man.
"Don't move if you don't want us getting caught." This time it his turn to glare at her. "And don't even think biting my hand little demoness, or else I will throw you at them. You'll never get the chance to see your parents." That made her stop.
"You knew where my parents?" she whispered back.
Wrong move!
Somebody noticed her whispering and the men glance at their way. The armed men stopped moving and did some hand gestures. They're facing the area where the noise is coming, slowly approaching the bushes.
Lellouch started to panicked. Her heart pounded so loud that she knew the man, who is on top of her, can definitely hear it. She looked at the man. Their faces are just a couple of inches away. One wrong move and their lips will collide. To her surprise, the man grin.
When she thought they will get caught, a dog barked not quite far from them. It startles the armed men as it charges towards them. One of the them started shooting the dog but no sound can be heard since it was using a silencer gun.
The man leaned closer towards Lellouch's that his lips touched her ear. "Don't you think we got a huge problem here?" asked the man in a calm manner. His voice was husky that give chills down her spine.
Lellouch blushed, an inexplicable feeling aroused her. How can this man act so calm when any minute by now, they'll get caught and executed? Aside from, he even has the time to tease her!
She didn't respond, too afraid to whisper too loud to be heard.
"Well, we can kill the time before they disappear. I found this position amusing and interesting at the same time." he continued.
Lellouch's eyes widened and glanced quickly to her side. In an instance, their lips collided and the man savored them with delight. She tried to break in but the man deepened the kiss leaving her motionless as a prey. She was so shock! That was her first kiss. Not just an ordinary one but a romantic kiss, unfortunately from an unknown guy!
A man noticed the bush moving but didn't pay much attention. "Probably another wild animal. We should head back to the quarters. Still, no sign of the man we're looking for." The man closer to them spoke to his earphone. He was just a meter away from the bushes they were hiding.
The men begun to retreat and as the car drove away, Lellouch get back on her feet and pushed the man away. "Who are you?" He roared at the man.
"If I were you, I would lower down my voice in case some armed men will come again and we'll end up kissing under the bushes." He responded calmly.
"You!" she inhaled hastily and tried to calm her nerves before responding while gritting her teeth. "Sorry for being rude, but will you please tell who you are and where are my parents?" she said under her breath.
"I like it when you mad, you look awesome." He teased.
"I'm not here to do the teasing, just answer me." She said in a warning tone.
"We'll they're in the cellar. Your parents are dying as we speak." Hearing this, Lellouche paled and rush towards to bushes to open a secret entrance. Before she could dive and run downstairs, the man called.
"Aren't you afraid of the dark?" he asked and noticed her halted.
"What's the use of your phone, idiot." She responded and continued her track.
He was dumbfounded. Nobody had ever called him anything like that. He quickly followed her as she disappeared from his view, devoured by the door she just walked in.
"Don't you want to know my name anymore?" he asked to keep the conversation going as he followed her.
"No, it's fine. I'm not interested anymore." She replied taking two-steps while descending the stairs.
He followed Lellouch as she opened one after the other. This is very tricky for him. Good he closely followed her or else he'll definitely loos his tracks. And by the end of the last door, Lellouch pushed it with a bang.
There, on the side of the room, she saw her parents. Sipping the wine from an old bottle. Without a word she hugged them. The three of them cried and poured their hearts out. Felix had a bandage on his left leg while Marilyn lied on the bed. She noticed her mother was so pale.
"Mother, what happened? I tried to come here as soon as I can but I noticed there are some armed men roaming the area. And this man," she glanced at the man behind her, "he said he knows about the two of you and that he saved me from those armed men." She found it hard to explain that previous encounter he had with the man.
Marilyn give her a faint smile. "I don't think I still can, dear." She said in a soft voice. It's evident that she's suffering from too much pain. "I got shots from my back and thighs. I lost much blood. I was holding on to see you." As she said this, Felix started to sob. "Knowing our state, it's difficult for us to get out from here."
"Of course, you can! There's much time. We can send you to –"
"I don't have much time so listen very carefully." Marilyn place the necklace that she's been holding on to Lellouch hand. "I have loved you much as our own. Now, I am setting you free. Find your true identity."
"What do you mean?" Lellouch was so confused. The words clouded her mind.
"Mrs. Go, please hang on. My people are coming to save you." The man faced Felix. "I'm sorry I leave tracks along the way so my men can easily follow. I hope you don't mind."
"Please! Please, save my wife. I beg you!" Felix plead in between sobs.
"They will be right here in any minute."
"Please take care of her. We are turning her over. I hope I have fulfilled her mother's wish." Marilyn glance to the man.
Upon hearing this Lellouch was shock. He covered her mouth to prevent from crying out loud as she slowly turned and face the man. "Who are you, really?"
"I am Alejandro Grand, and I have come to retrieve you, Young Princess."
