Chapter 222 - Ch. 222 You Are The First Girl

"Then why don't you create your own? Something that you can call it your own."

"…"

"Believe it or not, I understand how you feel. I have a younger sister, and people around us always compare us. This made me feel down and feel whatever I did was wrong. But then, I thought, I am me, and my sister is my sister. What's their business if we are different? They could go to hell if they couldn't accept us."

Unknowingly, Declan shifted his position to face the girl. He hadn't noticed before, but… he felt that this girl looked beautiful while she was talking. Her voice was somewhat full of pride and high confidence, as if she held her belief tight.

"You know what is the ridiculous thing?"

"What?"

"When they meet me, they always say 'Why can't you be like your sister?' or 'Look at your sister, she looks calmer and more reserved.' But when they meet my sister, they'll say, 'Why are you so scared? Take a look at your sister.' They seemed dissatisfied and always saw the fault of both of us. What are we? It's not like we are their property. We are also human, just like them, and we have the right to be whatever we wanted to be. That goes the same with you. You are also an ordinary human being, and you write your own story."

Declan looked straight at the girl, and that's when he felt himself seeing a boundless galaxy in the girl's pair of black eyes. Without realizing it, his hand rose to touch the girl's cheek.

The girl neither looked surprised nor avoided his touch. On the contrary, she seemed to have expected the man to touch her on his initiative sooner or later.

The girl gave her sweetest smile and closed her eyes as if she encouraged the man to do what he wanted to do. And he did it.

It was as if the girl was a magnet that pulled him closer; Declan planted his lips against her plumped ones. At first, the girl did nothing except sealed her lips tight, but in just a few seconds, the girl opened her lips to welcome him and move her mouth along with his.

Declan wrapped his arms to her petite figure to bring her body closer. Their mouths were sucking each other while changing the angle a couple of times while the girl's tiny hands raised to grasp his smooth hair.

He didn't know why but he felt the girl loved his hair as he could feel her unhurtful grip on his head.

Declan pulled away first as he noticed the girl's lack of oxygen, but the girl's next words steered something inside him that he never knew he had.

"You're a good kisser, mister."

"How many men had you kissed before me?"

"Why? Jealous?"

"Why should I?" he claimed her lips once more in more intense and demanding vigor.

And thus, they ended up in a hotel room but stop in mid-way once Declan found out the girl is a virgin minor. But he already liked her and loved her companion, so he embraced the girl in sleep till the morning.

He wanted to know her name and talk to the girl in a clear head the following day, yet the girl disappeared. She didn't even leave a clue or a hint to make him find her.

Declan told Roxy that morning he was very disappointed that the girl didn't wait for him to wake up or say goodbye. Nevertheless, the girl was the first one to give him a solution to his problem.

It was the girl who first brought him out of the life he didn't want.

"You are the first girl that brings me out from my misery." continued Declan after telling his encounter with the mysterious girl. "Ever since my father adopted me, I tried my best to be the son my adoptive parents wanted me to be. But it's not the real me, and you helped me to realize it. I am me, and my father is him. So I decided to step out of my comfort zone and be myself."

Roxy didn't refute his words and continued to listen attentively. She didn't expect her meeting with Declan that night to change the man's life. She felt proud of herself as well as guilty.

That night she used Declan to make her lose her virginity and not marry Raffeto's son. Who would have thought that Declan was having a hard time and gave up?

"I'm trying to set up a business that offers security and protection. I have an acquaintance who is good at martial arts, and he is my first business partner. Long story short, I managed to find talented people in programming and martial arts. Oscar security offers securities that no one could penetrate. Both programmatically and in guard."

"I know. I heard the white Olympic's elite bodyguard came from Oscar security."

"Some of it. And some of them are from the Alvianc group. They are tough fighters and compete with my OS. But my people won't lose at them."

"You are amazing." her tone was full of adoration and immeasurable love.

"But I failed again at the beginning when I built my business. My mistake was that I told my mother and my sly cousin knew about my start-up business. She ruined my service and spread bad rumors to damage my colleague's reputation. Some of my employees were former criminals, but they have repented and changed for the better."

"But people won't care about their changes." Roxy knew the views of the citizens would never forget something terrible about someone.

"That's right. And there was one they want to get rid of because that person was one of my best guards. Many told me to fire that person, and some wanted to open the old case."

"What did he do?"

"Killed an ex-lover."

"… And you still hired him?"

"It was her."

"It was a girl?"

As if not satisfied shocking her, Declan dropped another bomb. "It was Aubrey."

!? What!?
