Chapter 106 - The Rumor

Struggling to find the answer to her math homework Selena groaned in frustration and glared discreetly at her babysitter who was sitting on the opposite of her bed.  

Math was the subject she hated the most, she just hated numbers even though they owned a bank and all the members of the family including her super lazy uncle Matthew had a good grade in it.  

"I don't know how to solve this Daniella " she mumbled.  

"it's a simple question Selena, even Anders knows how to solve it " her sitter replied while she was busy looking down at the screen of her laptop on her lap.  

A light bulb lit up in Selena's mind after hearing it. She got up and discreetly grabbed her notebook with the unanswered math problem "I'm thirsty " she said and rushed out of the room, thankful that Daniella was so busy tapping on her laptop's keyboard that she didn't notice the sneaky plan she was cooking .  

When the door was shut closed, Daniella closed her laptop and stared at the closed door. Her head shook "seriously! this kid , do I need to drop hint every time " she was about to get up when her phone suddenly rang as she looked at it she found Scott's number on the screen.  

Answering the phone, Daniella left the room.  

"Yeah?"  

"I was contacted by one of Ken Chu's men " Scott started "he wants to meet up tomorrow."  

"Tell him I can only do weekends " she pushed the door of the master bedroom open and found Evan sitting on the bed with a blanket on his legs.  

"I have told them that but their boss said he won't have time on the weekends."  

Daniella halted as the irritation crept across her face "I don't care if he's not available on the weekends Scott. Tell him to make time for me or he can say goodbye to our deal."  

She ended the phone with her thumb and jumped onto the bed with lips sulking like a spoiled kid.  

"Are you going on a date this weekend?" Evan said and grabbed her wrist to pull her closer to him.  

"Date?" her expression turned sour,"ew!" she tensed her shoulders with the same sour face.  

"Who is he?"  

Daniella's lips shut and refused to answer his question.  

"Do I know him?"  

She nodded.  

"Am I close to him?" he asked, suspicion started to grow in his mind.  

She nodded once again.  

"It's either Glen or Ken , which one?"  

Daniella pouted "the latter."  

Evan suddenly chuckled as he got his answer "phew! I really thought it was Glen," he said in relief.  

"How did you know?" she asked, head tilted with confusion.  

"Well" with the same bright and charming smile on his lip, Evan carried Daniella and sat her on his lap, both hands went to each side of her cheeks and pinched them lightly "I don't know, I just really had a bad feeling when you acted so weird in Macao around Ken" he let out a faint sigh "and you said weekend and Ken had made a plan to play football with us. It was just a wild guess but I got it right" his sentence ended when he kissed her in the lips.  

"Are you not jealous?" Daniella's asked as soon as their lips separated.  

"Jealous? of ken?" his head shook "that man hates women more than anything " he paused while a flash of worry and concern hovered in his eyes "be careful Daniella , Ken kills people, honestly I am more scared that he'll kill you than steal you from me " the fear in his voice made Daniella  understand the weight of his words.  

"I'll be careful" she answered but deep inside she wondered how Ken could be that cruel. She had heard rumors from underground, seen the pictures of Ken's victim, one shot in the forehead that was how Ken ended his victims lives, unlike her he preferred to kill people with no pain, it was like he just wanted them to die quickly.  

"Alright " he brushed a hand on her hair "just don't touch him, he hates it when women touch him" he paused while his eyes memorized her face "did I ever tell you how sharp your tongue is?" he let out a faint smile.  

"Yeah, you said that in our first meeting" Daniella replied, her eyes sparkled as she stared at him, there was something about the way he stared at her, it looked so genuine and it made her heart melt every time she looked at him.  

"Ah-huh, did I?" he innocently asked "well don't use that tongue to Ken, he might cut it."  

Daniella eyes squinted, her hand pushed him down to the bed and moved her body from his lap to his stomach.  

"Well  I guess we should make good use of my tongue while I still have it " her smooth kissable lips parted to say those words in a lustful whisper, moving closer until they were only an inch away from each other.  

Like wandering stars they fell through the deeps of desire.  

--  

A drowsy murmur floats into the air like thistledown as soon as Daniella entered Claire's house. All of her friends have been busy with the task she assigned to them and it had been three days and none of them ever reported to her and even ignored her call that's why she decided to drop a surprise visit to Claire's house.  

But to her shock, her friends - all of them including Irene and Robert were relaxing in Claire's pool like they were on vacation.  

Her face flushed a surprising look, like a child that walked into her surprise birthday party.  

In anger Daniella balled her fist, she walked towards them in big steps with clenched fists on her side itching to break each of their body.  

She stood behind the four-lounge chair that was facing the other direction. Scott, Irene, Robert and Claire were relaxing on the chair with the sunlight tanning their skins.  

"Oh! This is life!" Robert pronounced with a tone as peaceful as the surrounding.  

Daniella was silent, standing behind them like a little statuesque figure.  

"Hey, have you heard the rumors about Camille Male?" Claire stated sunglasses on her eyes helped her avoid the blinding sun.  

"no, what is it?" said Irene stretching a hand to get her cocktail on the table next to her chair.  

"she's getting married " Claire responded.  

Upon hearing it, Irene sat up "Oh my God!" she exclaimed in a shocking voice. Her eyes swelled as she removed her sunglasses.  

"To who?"  

Claire shrugged, one thing she liked about Irene was that they both loved to gossip, let it be their friend's life or a celebrity's "probably the son of the Park Entertainment, you know" Claire's paused and grabbed her juice "Daniella's ex-boyfriend James Park."  

A loud gasp let out from Irene's lips as she heard it. When she could no longer handle the news, she sat up with her eyes swelling like a full moon.  

"Omg!" she exclaimed with excitement shining in her eyes, "what do you think Daniella would say?" she asked curiously.  

Claire once again shrugged "I don't think she cares; I mean if it's Evan then that would be a problem" she said with a light scoff.  

Robert who has been listening to the two women entered the conversation.  

"Yeah if it's Evan, that dwarf would probably break her body or worse splash acid onto the woman's face" his head shook a bit as he thought of how violent Daniella was.  

When Daniella could no longer take the blabbering of her friends, she stepped forward and squatted on the floor in between Claire's and Irene's chair.  

As she placed both of her hands on her friend's legs, she spoke "I think I am in the mood to splash acid onto someone's face today" she paused as she tilted her head to look at Robert "Shall I start with you?"
