Chapter 137: My Girl
Just when I thought that Night will finally arrive, days passed by in a flash and I was still stuck in this room with Aziel.
"I want to go ho."
"Don’t you want to spend more ti with ?" Aziel asked as he entered the room. "Co on, let’s go swimming." He said while showing
tons of swimsuits he brought inside the room. "You can pick any of these. We have the whole island to ourselves after all."
I ignored him as I lay back on the bed and covered myself with the blanket. ’It’s better for
to stay here than— wait...’ Why am I rejecting his suggestion!? If I get a grasp of this place, then I might get a chance to escape.
"Okay," I said as I got up. "I’ll go."
Aziel’s smile widened as he showed
all the swimsuits he has brought. "Choose here, or if you want I can make my subordinates buy a new one." I shook my head as I picked the most normal one and went to the bathroom.
I need to co up with a plan. I’ve been staying here too long and I still haven’t gained anything.
After changing into the simple swimsuit of my choice, it was a white bikini, Aziel held my hand and we went out of the room. Even though I keep pulling my hand back, Aziel won’t let
go.
"We’re actually on the third floor of this mansion so the walk will be quite far to the beach." He said as he put a towel all over . "You should keep this first since there are guards everywhere." He said, emphasizing the word ’guards’.
’Is he telling
that I won’t be able to escape because lots of eyes are watching ?’
When we got out of the mansion, I imdiately shielded my face with my hand due to the brightness of the sun. ’How long has it been since I last got under the sun?’
I squinted as I followed Aziel to the beach. He’s smiling from ear to ear, and that’s when I noticed that there are no other people here just like he said. There are no other people, but there are lots of animals here!
"et my golden retriever, his na is Gigi." He said as he introduced to
that huge dog beside him. "Gigi, this is Noelle, your mom—" I imdiately kicked Aziel’s face before he could even say sothing disgusting.
"Shut up."
Aziel laughed while petting his dog. "Do you like dogs?"
"I don’t like you."
He laughed again. "Am I a dog in your eyes?"
I ignored him as I walked on the sand and as I walked closer to the sea, I could hear the sounds of the waves splashing and it gave
peace of mind. ’I know I shouldn’t be relaxed right now. I still don’t know where this place is.’
"Isn’t this place amazing? Even more amazing because you can spend your ti here with ." I felt Aziel’s arm around my shoulder making my forehead crease. "Don’t you want to date a good-looking guy like ? Because if you do, this is your—" I pushed him away from
as I ran towards the sea.
"Hey! That’s dangerous!"
As soon as I felt the waves splashing on my knees my eyes sparkled and saw the vast sea. "So pretty," I said aloud but then I felt sothing pushing
down from behind causing my face to fall to the water and I thought I was going to drown.
"Gigi! Why did you?"
I felt soone’s arm pulling
up from the water holding onto my waist, and the mont I got out of the water, I started coughing as I had a hard ti opening my eyes due to the seawater.
"Are you okay?"
When I saw Aziel’s face, I blinked a lot of tis as he twinkled under the bright light of the sun above. "Ellie?" His arm was still wrapped around my face, and his touch felt familiar.
Where did I feel like this again? I need to think... think...?
"Was it you?"
Confusion clearly showed on his face. "What do you an?" He was leaning forward to my face making
rember the scent I slled that day.
"The one who danced with
on stage that ti during the school festival’s pageant."
I felt how his arm flinched so I imdiately moved away from him. "So that was you," I said but then I got splashed by a huge wave again causing Aziel to hold onto my arms, stopping
from falling back into the water. "Why did you do it?" That makes
realize that he lied about going to Italy.
All he told
were lies.
"Were you lying to
when you said that you’re going back to Italy? Was Marielle being your sister a part of your lies? No... what’s not a lie with everything that you told ?"
Aziel couldn’t answer.
His silence was his answer. ’I guess, everything was a lie.’ I pulled my arm away from him as I walked back to the beach. It’ll be hard to enjoy myself in the sea since I’m not used to swimming in the waves. Learning about that mysterious man like this makes my mood sour.
"Liar," I muttered as I sat on the sand, and Gigi, Aziel’s dog sat beside . "What do you want?" It feels like I’m going crazy since I’m starting to talk to dogs now.
"I’m sorry for what Gigi did," Aziel said. "He’s really playful when it cos to people he likes."
I ignored what Aziel said as I stared at the horizon. I wondered where this place is, and if it was far from the Philippines. ’Is Night still searching for ? It’s been weeks and I don’t think it’ll still be worth it for them.’ I sighed.
"I want to go ho."
"The solution’s easy. You should give
the ring." I saw Aziel’s smile. "And Night must give back the handkerchief I own."
Then there are two things I need to do? "I don’t have the ring with ."
"Then, I should tell Night to bring the ring with him." He chuckled as if he knows that I’m lying.
I rolled my eyes as I lay on the sand and stared at the sky. It’s clear and there are a few clouds, I wonder what this place will look like if it starts raining. This island looks similar to the islands in Palawan, but also kind of different which I can’t even explain.
"What do you want to eat for lunch?"
I continued ignoring Aziel as I slowly fall asleep. It feels like it’s been so long since I bathed in the sun and I don’t know when I’ll be able to leave here.
When I woke up, I felt sothing licking my face causing
to open my eyes. "Ugh, stop licking ," I said as I gently pushed Gigi’s face away. That’s when I realized that I’m already lying on a mat and there was a parasol above .
’Did Aziel do this?’
I got up and saw how bright the sun had beco. Maybe it’s already nearing 12 noon, that’s why Aziel placed a parasol above .
"You’ve woken up." He greeted
with a smile while holding a basket. "What do you want to eat? I prepared our als here. Since it’s a lot hotter today, I prepared a fruit punch. Do you want to try it?"
Instead of getting ideas on how to escape from this place, it feels like I’m on a vacation with this guy, and it’s annoying .
"I’ll try it," I said making him smile wider. "You didn’t put any drugs in that, didn’t you?"
"Wha— that’s so an! I wouldn’t do sothing like drugged you."
I raised an eyebrow. "What do you an? You already did that didn’t you? With the smoke and the handkerchief, you used on
the first ti."
"Wait! Those aren’t drugs."
I shook my head. Even if he starts explaining what all those things are, I won’t believe him. When we started eating, I heard Aziel’s phone ringing, and his expression changed when he looked at the caller. His smile turned wide and he looks like he was having fun.
Aziel answered the phone call and put it on loudspeaker. "Hey there." He said.
"Give Noelle back."
The mont I heard Night’s voice, I felt relieved. It’s as if sothing that was bugging
all this ti vanished all of a sudden. "Night," I called for his na.
"Noelle? Is that you? Are you alright? Did he do sothing bad to you?"
Aziel snapped his finger, making one of his bodyguards cover my mouth. "Hmmph!" I couldn’t answer Night’s question making Aziel laugh.
"Of course she’s okay, she’s my girl."
My eyes widened after hearing that. ’Who is he calling his girl!?’
"Stop joking around, Aziel." I heard Night’s stern voice causing
to feel shivers down my spine. "If you’re angry about what happened to your mother—"
"It’s not about that, Night. I’m not angry at you. How could I be angry with soone who helped
learn a lot?"
Aziel was smiling from ear to ear. ’It’s weird...’
