8 Chapter 7 — Meet the third guy
This week was exhausting due to her serious training. Even though she had excruciating muscle pain through hitting the gym 3 times a week and having an etiquettes training of wearing heels, at least, she's enjoying doing those stuff. She dreary cast her body through the bed and consciously closed her lethargic eyes. Next week, she will be going to another serious training.
Those past few days, she felt like she's free. Unlike before, house chores and wife duty only is her concern. But right now, there's something change through herself and she likes the result.
She's going to sleep but strange thud back her senses. Even her body is heavy to carry, she pursues to check if there's someone entered her room without permission.
Every time she woke up early in the morning, there's something she actually noticed. In the restroom, her bed especially her wardrobe, some changes are almost unrecognizable to ensure. Lilian was really suspicious of what was happening.
What happens every time she sleeps? She was worried about what might happen to her there.
When she went downstairs. She didn't notice anything suspicious. Maybe, she only exaggerated about what he had heard lately. She chose to go upstairs and take a rest. The day after tomorrow, she will face another challenge.
She woke up at 4:30 a.m. for jogging, because later on, she would rest that long until afternoon. She also thought of making her resume, she's planning to apply for a job. Demetri didn't know yet that she planned to have work.
She arrived at a park where there were also people doing exercise, she first stayed there and sat on the bench. A man approached her seat. She looked up at him.
" Daniel," she muttered his name. He just smiled and sat down next to her. He gave her a mineral bottle.
" Thank you," she shyly thanked him.
Even though he is still her brother, they haven't seen each other for a long time. Daniel was adopted by the Sylvestre family.
He was the only sibling she already found after their father decided to abandon them. Her elder sister is named Rhia, and her youngest sister is named Daisy. She still doesn't know where they are.
" How are you? Demetri told me that you are busy with training. Isn't it difficult?" He began their conversation.
" Honestly, it's really hard. Because I'm not used to acting rich. Even though my ex-husband was rich, he didn't let me experience the life of a luxurious individual," she shared in solitude.
" Sad to hear that. But I hope, you won't be like Yvette," he deeply stated. She glances at him.
" Who's Yvette?" She discreetly consulted.
" Demetri hasn't told you yet about her ex-fianceé." She decently shook her head.
"Just never mind, Lilian. Don't ever try to ask Demetri about Yvette. Looks like he still doesn't want to talk about Yvette right now," he said. She just nodded.
" By the way, don't you have any plans to look for Daisy and Rhia?" She interestingly inquired.
She's just quite interested if he's searching for their other siblings.
" They're both have a successful career now. And I think, they don't mind us", he informed.
" You mean that...you already know who they are?" She unbelievably questioned.
“ Did you know Victoria Perez?” She paused for a moment. Of course, she knew her! She's famous and stunning.
"She's an international model," she briefly answered.
"She's Rhia," her eyes widened.
W-What! Her older sister is an international model? That's awesome!
" About Daisy, she worked as a model too. Her lifestyle is quite private but you will notice that she was also adopted by a wealthy family," he added.
Uhm. She's happy with their victorious life now. She seems to be the only one whose life is not prosperous. She’s a poor girl who has achieved nothing in life. A divorcee without a job.
Daniel felt how Lilian's life has been miserable before. He felt it 'cause even he—he had been in so much trouble before Sylvestre's family found him.
" Don't be too much carried away with my brother's kindness. It's not easy to fall in love with such a jerk. When it comes, the day he will fall in love with you, you have no way to escape and refuse what he wants," Daniel said threateningly. She swallowed the lump inside her throat.
" Don't make him fall in love with you, Lilian", he added.
What if, she is the one to fall in love with Demetri. No! That can't be. She can't be in love with her rapist.
Daniel said goodbye because of his work. As for her, she thought returned to the condominium. As she walked home, she noticed something happening ahead.
She noticed a yellow supercar parked in front of a pizza parlor. In front of it is the woman sweeping the trash continually dumping by the driver.
She was peeved about what the driver was doing to the poor woman. Without a doubt, she courage herself to approaches the woman. She's holding a broom and dustpan.
She glanced at the arrogant driver who was relentlessly dumping trash on the side of the road. It's obvious he's a son of a rich man based on his lifestyle.
She snatched the dustpan from the woman and threw the collected scrap inside the car. The driver was devalued by what she did.
" What the hell have you done!" He blurted out.
She gave back the dustpan to the woman which who instantly accepted.
"Are you an educated person?" she asked the man boldly? His thick brows arched due to his annoyance.
"Ah...you can't read. Can't you see that sign?" She pointed out the written phrase of the prohibition on throwing garbage anywhere.
" You owned an expensive supercar, but you look uneducated," she added.
Shock and annoyance wrote all over his face. As he feels exasperation, he stepped out of the car. Lilian suddenly looked up when he drew closer to her side. He's tall. She didn't expect that.
" What you said to me Miss is too insulting. I don't think you didn't know me yet," he confronted in a baritone voice.
She gained the courage to react. She will no longer give in to those people who love disrespecting commoners.
" Even if you're the President in your country, I don't fucking care. You follow what's the policy in this country. It's just a simple thing, and then, you poorly performed it," she asserted without hesitation.
The man couldn't believe her guts to talk to him that way. He just laughed at what she said. She turned to the woman holding the dustpan. She gave her a wink before taking steps back to the condo.
When she was ahead, she didn't think that the arrogant man he had talked to earlier was driving so fast. The car suddenly ran over the accumulated water in a small pothole on the road. The dirty water spilled right on her clothes.
The man peeked, glared, and laughed at her.
That man!
