Chapter 111 - Irene

At the seaside.  

The south part of the country was known for its beautiful beaches. It was past eight in the night when Ken and Daniella arrived after eight hours of driving.  

Daniella was not even a bit exhausted even though she drove all the way, Ken Chu did not even bother to offer to be the driver instead , he sat at the back like a king while she served as his driver.  

They stopped at the back of the bar, the front of it had the view of the sea just like the rest of the bars and restaurants at the seaside of the city.  

Daniella got down from the driver seat and opened the backseat door for Ken. Her nose wrinkled in irritation when she didn't get a thank you from him.  

She went behind the car and opened the trunk, then she bent and pulled the small luggage she had inside and opened it.  

The luggage contained different types of clothes, wigs, and shoes, things she always needed to disguise herself.  

She looked around and found the place crowded with people. Some were going to the beach while the others who had spent their whole day on the beach were going back to their places.  

Daniella grabbed a revealing purple dress and black heels, then she went inside of the backseat to change her clothes.  

She removed her shirt and soon her bra leaving her undies, her movements were quick as she has been doing this for years.  

She put on her dress not bothering to wear her bra.  

When she got out of the car, she bent to wear her heels and as she straightened, she found Ken looking at her with a frown.  

"Are you not wearing anything under that" his face screwing with disgust looked at Daniella. He had a finger pointing at her chest.  

Daniella looked down and understood what he meant.  

"My dress is really tight and the pad of my bra are quite thick so-" whatever she was about to say got interrupted when Ken suddenly yelled at her.  

"I don't care , wear it. You look disgusting!" He said with anger and pushed her inside the car after opening the door.  

Daniella was dumbfounded by the sudden anger in Ken's face. They barely knew each other but he was suddenly concern about her clothes.  

Meanwhile, Ken shook his head in disbelief. Seeing Daisy with that revealing clothes has made him remember the face of his friend's girlfriend.  

'Aish! Why am I thinking about that weird girl?' he asked himself.  

When the car door was opened, Ken looked down and found Daisy pouting at him.  

"I can't breathe!" she exclaimed as she removed her ponytails and tousled her hair.  

Seeing her messy hair has made his skin shiver for a moment. He's certain that Daisy and his friend's girlfriend has something in common, whatever it was he just couldn't point out.  

"Don't breathe then" he yelled at her once again and turned around.  

Daniella's face grimaced after she got scolded. She knew that Ken was difficult but she's not expecting him to be stubborn as a rock.  

--  

At Daniella's apartment.  

When Evan arrived at Daniella's apartment, he realized that she was not in there. He had rung the bell numerous times but no one was opening the door.  

He blew a sigh and stood next to the door, his back was leaning against the wall while his hands were jammed in the front pocket of his pants and his face was looking down to the floor.  

He was tired, he didn't have any sleep last night. He could feel his body shaking and begging him to sleep but he didn't want to sleep, he was afraid that he would wake up and find out that Daniella had left him for good.  

Just the thought of losing her was driving him crazy. Not being able to see her smile in the morning would probably be the worst thing that can happen to him.   

The first thing he wanted to see the moment he opened his eyes was Daniella and the last person he wanted to talk before going to sleep was her as well but last night there was no Daniella in his room that was the reason why he refused to sleep.  

His eyelids became heavy as the time passed, he fought back by shaking his head.  

"Hey " the voice of a woman sounded from the door opposite of Daniella's apartment. When Evan looked up, he found Irene in there.  

"Have you talked to her?" he asked in a tone full of exhaustion.  

Irene stepped out with a robe over her body and then she shook her head.  

"Did you have any sleep?" Irene asked.  

"I am fine" he replied and crossed his arm over his stomach.  

"Let me get you a coffee" Irene offered and went back in her apartment but she left the door half-opened.  

When she came back , a mug with water evaporating from it was in her hand. She handed it to Evan and stood opposite of him with her back leaning against the wall.  

Evan stared at the black coffee; he could see how exhausted he was through his reflection.  

"She loves you Evan so don't worry, I am pretty she will come back " Irene spoke, disturbing the quiet hallway of the building.  

Evan looked up, his face was flat and cold.  

"You think so?"  

"I know so" Irene replied and confidently flashed a light smile, "her first boyfriend, the one that cheated on her" she paused for a moment and ran inside her apartment when she came back, she had a bottle of wine in her hand.  

She took a gulp and continued "she'd known him since she was sixteen. They even lived in London together for years" a faint chuckle let out from Irene's lips "she'd never let him kiss her, he would consider himself lucky when she allows him to hold her hand."  

Evan's eyebrows creased upon hearing it , inside he wondered why Irene decided to tell him about Daniella's first boyfriend.  

"I know that Daniella will come back to you Mr. Su " she paused as she let out a mocking laugh.  

"The earrings that you gave, even though it irritated her skin, she still wears it and just put cream on her ears to ease the pain" saying that Irene took another gulp from the bottle.  

"She gave you herself even though it pained her" Irene shut her eyes momentarily, "did you know that just like her body, her emotion was also heightened?" by the time she said that Irene has had her eyes opened staring at Evan.  

"What do you mean?"  

"Sadness, anger, jealousy and happiness, all of it are heightened."  

"I don't understand. She said it was only her body."  

Irene shook her head "no, it includes her emotion too, so Mr. Su please be very gentle with her. Because of all the year I've known her, this was the first time Daniella has given herself to someone" she lamented.  

"She won't kill your mom even though yours killed hers. She knows that killing her would hurt you and seeing you hurting would hurt her."  

After Irene took another gulp from the bottle, she wiped her lips with her backhand and continued "I know she will come back because you are special to her " she knew that her words gave an undeniable satisfaction to Evan "she loves you more than you love her so get some rest Mr. Su , the passcode to Daniella apartment is the day you two met." Saying that Irene smiled at him and went back to her apartment.
