Chapter 32 - Let's go home

At the moment, Alicia is looking pale for forcing herself to run like she was never injured. Now she's back to the alley, slowly making her way to the pizza house. As soon as she enter the pizza house, she lay down on the long bench while taking a deep breath. No one seem to bother about her weird entrance. It seems it's not the first time she has done this. As for Anna who just got out of the kitchen only shook her head before she enter the kitchen once again as she bring out Alicia's favourite pizza and her drinks.

Alicia was resting her eyes when Anna arrives with the pizza. At the smell of her favourite pizza, she immediately open her eyes and hurriedly sit properly. She almost cry after remembering she had been putting too much strain on her rib. But the sight of hot, mouth watering pizza simply just took away her pain.

"I thought you're still injured? Why are you running about?" Anna asked as she sat in front of her. Alicia looked up.

"How did you know i was injured?" She asked back not bothering to answer.

"You do realize that hospital is just close by. The night that you got yourself in surgery, almost every SKULL members surrounded the hospital. I heard it's because someone was trying to stop the doctors from saving you." Anna told her something that she never knows. She looked puzzled.

"Don't look so confused. It seem that your man doesn't have enough man power to guard against and the SKULL members who are guarding you saw that, thus inform the rest. You did some good deed in your past life, girl." Anna continued.

Alicia nodded her head, not knowing what to feel at the moment. Her head just seem to be useless at the moment. Due to her being idle for quite some time, it affected the way her mind is processing. Slow and blurry. Not to mention the emotional state that she's in at the moment. She knew her brother is hiding something and she didn't like it how he tried to hide. To believe he crashed a tree, he probably had to do so to avoid further ugly aftermath. But his lies annoys her to the point she doesn't wish to listen anything at all. Thus, she left the hospital and came to this place. At least, she found this place is safer than outside. Anna saw Alicia is lost in thoughts, left her alone as she went back to the kitchen. Tapping her fingers on the table, she start to warm up her head after living so carefree. Her eyes start to become sharp and she took out her phone before sending a message. It didn't take long her phone start to ring. She picked it up after knowing her line is secure.

"Speak." She said in a tone that none of the people closest to her ever heard of.

"They're targeting Prince of Hell. Your brother let his guard down tonight. It seems they set on taking over your city. Although it's still unclear of their true motive and the power behind them but i'm guessing your brother and his friends have what they wanted." the other person on the line spoke as if this is not the first time they encounter trouble. Alicia squinted her eyes.

"Got it. I'll find a way to report back. For now, we'll keep an eye on the rest of Prince of Hell." she said before ending the call. Her stern face change within seconds and converts back to bubbly and cheerful person. She walked out of the restaurant like nothing ever happen and was about to take a look at other place when her she paused after seeing the person who's leaning by car watching her looking bored. All of sudden her heart felt like going into rollercoaster and without realizing her legs start to move forward as she ran at him before giving him a hug.

Tristan was surprised with her reaction but nevertheless he welcome her aggressive hug as he hug her back tightly. After he received reports from his men that she's heading to the back alley, he rushed to the place and his anxious heart finally calm down when he saw her safe and sound. But her pale face reminded him that she's still recovering. He lifted her face before planting a kiss on her soft lips.

"Let's go home." He said and she beamed with smile, nodded her head.
