Stephen sighed loudly
" well, seems she can't be my woman I'll like to treasure. But getting a sassy wild cat like her who defends her loved ones is really hard!!"
He whined then sighed again, a deep depressing sigh before saying
" she was really pretty too! Realising that I can't have her after considering her as my gem is really hurtful. But I just can't let her go that easily. Zayn, keep track of her"
" yes sir!"
Zayn, who was getting tired of his boss's whining, replied.
And that's what Zayn did but... Bella had not left home for the past two weeks! Neon made sure she stayed indoors for two weeks with Ace, as punishment for sneaking out without his permission. Kinda like a dad right? Well, that's how much he loves his sister and he doesn't want what happened six years ago to repeat itself again. The very day Zayn reported to Stephen of Bella's movements, Stephen got a call from his main boss. As soon as he saw the call, he immediately chased Zayn out and locked the door then ran to his secret room before receiving the call. Well, you can't blame him, it was a video call!
" hello young master"
" drop the formalities Stephen, where is that ruthless boss huh?"
" I'm flattered young master but...."
" the name's Iva"
The person named Iva, spoke in a stern voice, causing Stephen to sweat a little and stutter
" uh...uhm yes young ....I mean Iva"
" good. I got word that Neon is back in country Z. Is that true?"
" yes sir"
Iva sighed when he heard the name he called him. Guess Stephen couldn't call his boss by his name.
" did he come alone as usual?"
" no sir, he came with his younger sister and a guy named Ace "
There was silence on the other end for a moment before he asked
" which sister came with him?"
" her name is Bella. I got information stating that she was taken by the organisation for six years and was recently released "
Iva at the other side smiled and said
" Stephen, keep an eye on Neon and report to me if any problem arises. As for the two companions of Neon, I need a detailed report daily. Do I make myself clear?"
" yes sir"
" good. If there's nothing to report, then I'll have...."
" pardon me for interrupting you but I have a question?"
" go ahead "
" when ....when will you be released?"
Iva laughed out loud
" why? Do you miss me that much?"
This time around, Stephen was silenced. His boss just made him speechless!
" don't worry about me Stephen, I'll come out soon. Ok, I got to go. Seems like it's time for lunch"
" okay boss"
" really? It's boss now?"
Iva asked with a chuckle. Stephen laughed awkwardly
" sorry, I forgot I was using sir. Goodbye sir and please, stay safe"
" I will, bye Stephen "
As the call disconnected, Stephen kept staring at his cell phone.
" I really want him to get out. I wonder why he remained contained when he can get out with a snap of a finger. I honestly don't understand how his brain works!"
He then sighed and walked out of his secret room.
Meanwhile, on the other end that just disconnected the call, Iva dropped the cell phone in the tray and instructed the soldier in charge to take it away then he went into his hibernating pod. Guess he lied about lunch. Once he was inside, water was then filled into the pod, causing his white hair to move around in waves. He looked at me soldiers who were filling the pod with water and grinned then gave them the middle finger. His iris were sky blue before but as he gave them the middle finger, it became white which was as a result of using his inhumane super abilities. He activated the sprinklers, thereby, drenching the soldiers. But there was always a consequence for using his abilities which was electrocution. He had a collar on a that electrocutes him whenever it detects the usage of his abilities. What was worse was that he was in a pod filled with water! But guess what? He was actually smiling as he was electrocuted! What a psycho!"
Back at Neon's place, Ace and Bella kept sneaking out secretly, making Neon think that his little advice had been instilled in them, not knowing that they had forgotten the advice as soon as finished speaking! And unknown to them, their daily mischiefs where monitored and reported to a certain in a hibernating pod somewhere far away, covered completely in snow.
Bella's POV:
" Ace, go get cupcake. I wonder what's taking her so long to get dressed "
" alright "
With that, Ace went to my room. He entered without knocking, startling me who had put on the shirt wrongly. As soon as he set his eyes on me and my condition, he burst out into fits of laughter. I glared at him and said
" don't just stand there laughing, help me!"
" seriously? You can't even put on a lady's shirt properly? And you call yourself a young lady?"
" shut up"
I said with an embarrassed expression. He then helped me put it on properly.
" I thought it was only a dress you've forgotten how to put on, never knew that a shirt was included! This is really a huge problem. I can't be dressing you up when you're a fully grown woman!"
I avoided eye contact because I knew he was saying the truth.
" I'll learn okay? You don't have to rub it in"
I said the last bit in a whisper . After five minutes, we came out together.
" what took you so long cupcake?"
Neon asked as he kissed my forehead
" someone forgot how to put on lady's shirt "
Ace said with a chuckle. Neon then looked at me in amazement.
" really? Who has been dressing her at the organization?"
" me "
Ace said confidently with a proud look . Idiot! Neon did not like the fact that a ' guy ' always dressed up his sister.
" from today onwards, don't dress her anymore. Let her learn to dress herself, and if she wears it wrongly, correct her. Do I make myself clear?"
" yeah, I got it"
I didn't respond so Neon gave me sharp glare and repeated
" do I make myself clear cupcake?"
" yes "
I replied in a weak whisper. That could mean I won't enjoy Ace pampering me! How could I be happy with that?
" good, she isn't a baby anymore so she has to learn to be a grown lady that she is"
My pout became bigger which Ace noticed. He held my hand and whispered
" don't worry, when we go to our house, I could dress you whenever we go out "
With that, my mood got better.
" come on both of you, we're gonna be late"
We quickly got into the car as Neon drove so fast my face almost turned inside out.
" where are we headed to?"
" I have a meeting with our main boss, well, actually, I have to visit our main boss today"
