Chapter 91 - Masochist

The quiet hallway of Selena's school was disturbed when the bell indicating the end of their subject rang.  

The student rushed out of their classroom excitedly like bees entering the hive while Selena just let the other students leave the room before she got up and proceeded to the door.  

She had her hands wrapped around her books over her chest, her face bore no emotion as she walked downstairs.  

A loud sigh escaped her lips. As she approached the exit , she found Anders standing by the door.  

Her face turned sour  it had been a month since her uncle and babysitter disappeared and no one knew where they were and they didn't even bother to message or answer their call.  

"When are they going back?" she pouted after complaining.  

Anders scratched a hand on his hair for every day that he would pick her up, Selena's first question was about her uncle.  

He carried her bag and books and they both walked towards the parking lot side by side. He couldn't understand her.  

Every morning , Selena would brag about how thankful she was that she didn't need to wake up with a wet bed or burning room but after school, her face would turn gloomy as if she lost her most precious gem.  

Anders sat in the backseat of the car while Selena seated in the passenger seat next to Kirby. One thing that was disturbing his mind was Selena's excitement over Kirby.  

Before the girl would scream if she heard Kirby's name but after a month of driving around with him, Selena must have gotten tired of him.  

Selena watched the side road as they drove away from her school, her gloomy eyes  indifferent to the scene around her ,Selena felt like she had lost someone  

She grabbed her phone and once again dialed her uncle's number hoping for someone to answer but it went straight to his voicemail.  

"Uncle! Give me back my sitter. She should be looking after me not you!" she yelled and saved her voicemail.  

Her narrowed eyes turned to Kirby. She didn't want to talk to him since he has been keeping her uncle's location hidden.  

"Aren't you gonna tell me where they are?"  

Kirby looked at her and shook his head once "all he said was that he's going to meet someone abroad."  

Selena scoffed "yeah I know, he's meeting my babysitter alright!"  

She went back to looking outside the window. She wanted her sitter now and missed her , even though Daniella had done nothing but torture her.  

At the thought of missing Daniella Selena's eyes widened "omg! Am I a masochist?" she exclaimed pressing both palms on her cheeks.  

Kirby and Anders stared at each other through the rearview mirror, both of their eyebrows were raised in disbelief with what Selena had just said.  

--  

When night fell, Evan and Daniella were planning to visit the casino near their hotel. They had never been there even and mostly just stayed in their room together, the hotel room had become their house for a month.  

Daniella held Evan's arm the same way she had been doing. They talked a lot but she avoided talking about their current situation especially about the date of their return.  

Evan didn't mind it; he hadn't taken a vacation since he took over the company and being with Daniella definitely sobered his workaholic mind.  

They waited for the elevator patiently, he looked at her dress and a smile was formed on his lips.  

She looked radiant in her tight mini red dress. He loves her curves and softness. Before he met her, a short woman was not on his list but somehow she was able to squeeze herself into his cold stone heart and from there she smashed all the walls he built to protect himself from getting hurt.  

Her eyes showed her emotion, Evan could not be more thankful than now. Knowing that her beautiful round eyes were the doors to her emotion, Evan could not help but fall deeper into her mystery.  

The passion in her beauty turned her into orbs of the brightest stars, in them he read clearly that she would not let the world shake her.  

Even though they spent almost two hours sticking the silicon skin on her legs and arms, all of it was worth it.  

"Daniella you don't need to hide your scar anymore " he said in an almost murmur.  

Daniella lifted her face and met his eyes "I know " she said softly, unlike before, she no longer felt insecure about her scars  "but I need to hide it or else some people especially those who worked with Dr. Lee would recognize it."  

He nodded by her honest answer. When the door opened, they both entered at the same speed.  

"We need to go back soon Daniella" he spoke as he pressed the lower ground button.  

Daniella went silent , she stared at the screen on the top of the elevator door showing the floor number that they passed.  

"Hey" Evan tousled the end of her hair gently "we don't need to live in the Villa if you are uncomfortable."  

Daniella remained silent, she didn't want to answer him she didn't want to go back, if possible she would like to stay here with him.  

The elevator reached the ground floor without  Evan getting any reply from Daniella and he could not do anything but to seal his lips.  

As they exited the hotel Daniella was still quiet. Her mind wandered somewhere else. She didn't want to go back as she hasn't figured out what to do with Evan's mother, the last thing she wanted was to murder his mother in front of him in case she lost herself.  

Her mind was pulled back when she felt a hand forcing its way into holding hers. She blinked once and raised her head to see Evan with a serious face.  

"Stop thinking alright " he stroked a hand on her silky brown hair "let's take it easy " the softness and concern in his voice made her feel warm inside once again.  

She nodded with a candy-like smile on her lips while her fingers intertwined with his.  

The casino was just one street away from their hotel. Just like any other night the street looked lively with all the people pacing around like busy ants , half of them were already wasted even though the night hadn't started yet.
