Chapter 334 - We Can't Kill Sleeping Beauty (5) - Evan's POV

I watched Rika pound on the car windows as the car drove away from the hotel. She had no choice but to follow Luke to his villa. I had never seen Luke treating her like this while our parents were around. The way he ignored all of her opinions and dragged her to the car while she begged to stay with us.

"I can't believe she was keeping the note a secret," Alex appeared to be on Luke's side.

It was too cruel to Rika, but nobody went against Luke. In fact, everyone from the first district who watched the scene seemed to be supporting him. Rika's friend, Michelle was the only one who pitied her. Seeing how no one seemed surprised, I realized that everyone was used to watching something like this.

"Here is the room card and access to the rest of the facilities," Alex passed to me like nothing had happened.

"Is Rika ok?" I worried for her.

"Luke is just taking her to a safer place," he explained.

"Sometimes, Rika is a bit too stubborn when she knows it's all done for her sake," Alex apologized for the ruckus.

I nodded my head and pretended to understand. If staying in the hotel was this dangerous for her, why weren't the others staying in his villa as well? I walked to my door and gasped when I stepped inside the room. I had never stayed in such a luxurious room before. It was a suite with a living room, bedroom and a bathroom. It was all for one person.

The view overlooked all the scenery in the perfect place that I wouldn't have to visit the tower to get a better look. Sometimes, I went on short trips with my parents. However, we mostly booked one suite for all of us to stay in. After admiring the room, Alex and Michelle gave me a tour of everywhere I could visit.

Feeling exhausted from taking everything in, I soon decided to return to my room. I paused before entering the elevators when I noticed the stiff atmosphere with Rika and Luke already inside. I awkwardly stood beside Rika as I felt it would be better to stay away from Luke, who seemed to be on the brink of his patience snapping.

Rika held a thick book while Luke kept an eye on her. I didn't think they would be at the hotel, expecting them to be at his villa. Wondering what she was reading, I found she was studying this entire time. My eyes widened when I noticed all those complex math equations and theories with each question written in another language.

This wasn't a normal book. Even though I didn't learn any of the stuff on her page, I knew these questions were more difficult than the ones at the competition. When she noticed me watching her, she briefly looked up from her book. She sadly smiled, taking a break to observe me. Rika stiffened as Luke scarily turned his head to warn her, "Don't keep your eyes off the book Rika."

Feeling bad that I got her in trouble, I quickly walked out the elevator once it arrived at my floor. I felt like I had escaped from the suffocating atmosphere as I stayed inside my room, enjoying the room to myself until I went to the lobby for dinner. I searched for Rika inside the dining room while Michelle and Alex sat on the same table.

"Where is Rika?" I asked when Luke was the only one who joined them.

"Rika isn't feeling well," Luke kept her condition vague.

"Rika has a frail body. She gets ill very easily," he explained when it looked like I didn't believe him.

I nodded my head as the three of them talked to each other in a language I didn't understand. Michelle stopped eating as if she was worried for someone. Alex stiffened in his seat as Luke continued to talk. The whole table turned into a serious tone as if they were talking about someone who was on the verge of dying. It couldn't be that Rika wasn't completely recovered from the accidents earlier today.

I started to feel more worried for her when she wasn't present for breakfast. I promised myself that I would watch over her for our parents, but I didn't even know how she was doing. Instead, I was enjoying all the expensive amenities available in the hotel. I sat alone for breakfast until a boy joined me.

"I heard you're Rika's younger twin brother," he turned to me.

"I am," I wondered who he was.

"My name is Oliver, one of your sister's friends," he introduced himself.

"Do you know how Rika is doing?" I reluctantly asked.

"She didn't wake up yet," he sadly smiled.

I froze as my mind spun into all the worse case scenarios. My parents would be disappointed in me if I returned to the third district alone, telling them about the bad news. I searched for Luke who would likely have all the answers. Since he appeared to be busy, I only managed to find him in the lobby when he walked to the restaurant with Alex around lunch.

"How is Rika doing?" I quickly walked to him.

"Rika is still sleeping," he carefully chose his words.

"Can I see her?" My voice started to seem more desperate.

Luke started to discuss what to do with Alex. After a few minutes of waiting, he replied, "although the entire top floor is blocked off to the rest of the guests, you have to close the door as soon as you enter the room. Rika is in this room and the door should open with the second access card."
