Calming her mind and heart which was almost about to jump out of her body, Elaine looked at the car and confirmed that the car which stopped right before her definitely did not belong to Michael.
If it did not belong to Michael, then whoever it was there was no reason for her to stay there. Stepping aside form the way of the car, Elaine walked away from the car on her own way but the car retraced its path once again blocking her.
Elaine who had been kidnapped once and went through a traumatic experience was cautious now that the car showed weird actions.
She wondered if someone from the last time was there to mess with her.
“Why are you blocking my path?” Elaine called out at the driver after knocking on the window. She looked around a bit and found that the place was not empty which meant it was a safe place for her.
“Hey, slide down the window..” Elaine was being polite but when the person inside continued ignoring her, sh
Elaine stayed out in one place as they changed the directions and started to travel through a much narrower yet empty street. Elaine was expressionless as she watched outside the window, watching the scene pass by like a fleeting moment.As Elaine continued looking outside the window, Drake started the conversation.“Elaine..”“Hmm….” Elaine replied without much enthusiasm. She would rather look outside the window and pass her time than look at him and feel all bitter from head to toe.Although Drake hated the indifference compared to how Elaine used to look at him with shiny eyes when ever she saw him, he was happy she was willing to talk to him.He cursed himself for not keeping his mouth shut when he had lost his control that night. He was still thinking that it was the reason that spoilt their relation.How naïve of him..“These days, how have you been?”“Me? Well so so&
Ever since the night Elaine was taken home by Michael, it has been a restless period of time for Drake.The fact that he messed up his relation with Elaine and could not even go after her had been killing him from inside but there was nothing else he could do about that.Things got worse the next morning when his boss called out of nowhere demanding to know about his daughter Sophie who had not returned home all night.There was no information and nothing.Drake had long been fed up with how Sophie was and was not surprised when she came forward with more problems for him.“She is not some kid, why making such a big fuss about it.” He had thought this then but she was worse than a kid when he found out what she had been up to.Cleaning up the mess she made, taking a beating and scolding from Tom Blake; that hateful fat bald man and since Michael also had made some problems for their company he was the one who had to stay up all n
Almost begging he spoke once again with his voice full of emotion. “One chance is all I ask for!” Elaine was silent even after hearing what he had to say. Drake waited for a bit for her reply but upon not getting what he had been waiting for, he knew that he was simply too late. He had already wasted the flowers from his youth and now he was left with nothing. He removed his hands from her shoulder and placed them on his back as he tried to think what was he going to do after this. “Let’s go home, it’s getting late.” Elaine was the first one to speak and break this suffocating silence. She walked past by him, the salty taste of air was somewhat refreshing to her as it whistled past her. Her long and wavy black hair swayed gently in the wind creating a fleeting yet memorable image which disappeared as soon as Drake’s eyes fell on her. Was it really that late? He felt his heart breaking into pieces but there was nothing he
On the other side of the phone, Michael seemed a bit silent after the call. He stared at the phone in his hand feeling a bit bitter. It had been weeks before he finally got the courage to think about Elaine…that vulnerable little bunny. All this time, he had been keeping himself away from her but now, with just a small talk about her, he was back to the old guy who was smitten helplessly with her. ‘So she went out with him?’ He pondered about the guy that he had seen the night when everything fell down from how it was supposed to be. From what he remembered, he knew that the guy was pretty good looking and young. “He must be her type,” he mumbled monotonously, unwilling to admit the sourness that was in his mouth. It was a lie to say that he was not jealous about this. He was sour as heck, but he did not want to admit it. Right now, he is seated at the office of his company. Along with many unsolved paper works and files, there was an old file on his desk. It
Michael looked at the girl he was holding and sighed. Well, he did not really sign up for this thing when he returned home. He made himself comfortable in the seat and placed the injured girl right next to him. He carefully placed her down so as not to harm her injuries. All the while he was worried about it. He placed the seatbelt across her but it seems he touched an injury. The girl flinched a bit. Michael immediately stopped and frowned. He thought for a bit and decided to do something else. He decided to hold her himself till they reached the hospital. It was better than getting the injuries worse. “Kim, let’s go.” He finally said after they were all settled in. The nearest hospital was about 30 minutes ride away. Since it was a rural village in a hilly region, there was lack of good hospital nearby. The only hospital here was a small health post that gave primary treatment for small diseases and injuries. ‘Yes, boss.” Kim nodded his head and stepped on
Unknown to everything that was happening after they had left, Michale and Kim reached the hospital. He immediately jumped out of the car and rushed into the emergency room.Since the case was an emergency one, the group of doctors and nurses directly rushed inside the operating room, taking the injured girl with them.After around one hour, the doctor in charge of taking care of the injured girl came out of the room and met Michael. Since Michael was the one who had brought her in, the doctor only had him to inform and talk about her condition.“Boss,” Kim called him out as he entered the waiting lobby. He had gone out to run an errand for him and had just returned, only to find his boss looking like the world was about to end. Kim shook his head helplessly before walking towards him.“You are back,” Michael said with a slight nod when he saw Kim. “How did he go? He asked Kim who was sitting down on a seat right next to his. “I found someone from the girl’s v
“That girl who came to the party with you,” his grandfather finally spoke after a long silence. Michael did not speak anything either, letting whatever things that were said to him sink into his mind and heart.“What about her?” Michael asked, a bit defensive about it. After knowing the full background story and the girl that he had already forgotten was Elaine, he felt even more strongly towards her. The old man noticed the defensive stance of his grandson and smiled lightly. From what he could see, that girl meant a lot to him. Although he wanted Michale to marry the daughter from the family he chose, after knowing that his grandson loved someone, he was ready to accept it. After all, the main reason he wanted the marriage was to let the family reconcile and have an heir that could lead the Tyrell family in the future. If Michale was happy with someone else, he was also willing to accept her. He had already done so much more to hurt his grandson. The least
“Elaine,” Arkie called out to Elaine as she was collecting her materials. The class had just ended and she was preparing to go home. Hearing her anime being called, she was startled a bit. “Y-yes,” she said after turning around to face Arkie. “Is there anything?” she asked. Her hands subconsciously took hold of her water bottle. It was the response her body had created after what happened to her before. She was always on guard even with her friends. Arkie too noticed this strange change in her and was a bit worried. He wanted to talk about it but decided it was rude to try to be a busy body. Poking his nose into her business did not seem like the right choice. “I…” he paused a bit before deciding to change his question. “Are you okay?” he asked after thinking for a while. Elaine forced a smile upon hearing his question.Not good, I am acting too suspicious right now. Elaine reprimanded herself for acting like this. Even though she had already
