"You heard me right! You're too stubborn to understand. I know you are angry but with time. You will come along"
" Rogers! " He called authoritatively. Immediately Mr Rogers strode to his front. " Take her with me. She is going back home! "
" Yes sir" Mr Rogers bowed and walked up to the girl and grab her wrist. Before Lilah could protest, Mr Rogers have already clenched on her wrist!
"Let me go you bastard and betrayer!" She struggled but that didn't seat on Mr Rogers head. He knows the girl might hate him for this but these actually for her own good. She didn't know the hands of the demon she was playing in.
Without much thought, Mr Rogers pulled her forcefully despite her fighting and struggling.
"Where do you think you're taking her to?" A deep cold voice asked that send shrivers down to the spine of everyone in the room.
"Mr Charles" Lilah whispered softly from her lips.
Everyone was stunned and stuck dumb on their themselves. They couldn't process the fact that the man standing in the entrance of the door was no one but the demon they were trying to separate the girl from.
"Where are you taking her to?" He asked again. This time more cold and sternly. Suddenly, Mr Rogers redraw his grip from the girl.
"Mr Charles!" Me Williams called playfully. " What a great surprise. I never thought I could get the chan6to see you again. Such a long time" he stretched forth his hand for a shake but Charles did not give a fuck about that. His full attention was on the girl pale face. She seemed sad.
Since Mr Williams is here, he completely concluded he must be the reason to the girl sadness. While he did the research on the girls, he makes to get every details about their past and present lives and relationship with others. But come to think of it, the two girls do have things in common as friends. Both have idiots as fathers!
"What are you doing here Mr Charles? Do you miss your way to someone house? Because I have never seen you here before" Mr Williams asked, trying to covered the awkwardness he was feeling.
The room was covered in tenses. Everyone could feels the coldness coming out of Charles face as his eyes darted to the side of the girl.
"No, I didn't miss my way" he said coldly while staring at the direction of the girl before he lost his glared on her and sat on the one of the couch in the lounge.
He cross his legs delicately. "Have you forgotten that this side of the estate land have been bought by my friend?" He narrowed his eyes at them.
Immediately, Mr Williams shift a little back from him. They are always scared when the name or the devil have been address in any statement. The devil now rules the country. His name only can send a man to pissed on himself!
The man called Lim, was a devil himself!
Mr Williams laughed mockingly and said with shaking hands. "Oh Mr Charles, I didn't know your friend have bought this estates. Please forgive me"
Mr Williams lower his head along with his apologies. He never want to do this but he had no choice! Now, the devil have send out his demon to look for an innocent souls to destroy and torment.
He couldn't waste that risk and that of his daughter life. Even Lilah who knows her father as man of steel was a bit confused that her father shows Mr Charles more respect than the president himself!
"You don't have to waste your precious time Mr Williams. So, tell me what bought you here? Into my neighborhood?" Charles asked, his cold eyes glared at the side of Lilah who shyly put her head down.
She was still feeling uneasy but now, seeing the man that have lost her first kiss. She blushed hidden but his sharp eyes saw that before she could twist back her cold and sad face.
" Hmm, well Mr Charles. My daughter lives here" Mr Williams said.
" Really? Your daughter? Do you mean that?" Charles asked again. Pretending he wasn't aware of what going on here.
" Can I see your daughter Mr Williams?"
"Sure...sure. come on Lilah" Mr Williams call. Lilah hissed before walking down to her father. She would have thought of leaving but the thought of Charles hold her back to her foot.
"Please have a seat" Charles said softly. Patted on the couch beside him. " You can seat down"
Gently Lilah obey and seat down on the couch. She couldn't understand why she was obeying his word. Was it because of that kiss? Lilah step out of it! This is just a fantasy or possibly just a joke.
Charles clear his throat, waved his hands to them to single tnem to seat down.
"Since the all family is out. I have a proposal to make" Charles stop and look at the face of the girl before releasing the bomb.
"I want to get married to your daughter"
Immediately, the room went immediate slient, Mr Rogers and Mr Williams was stunned and confused. They blinks their eyes multiple of times to clear off their doubts but it wasn't a dreaming but a fucking reality!
Lilah agape at the man seated beside her confusedly. She just couldn't believe her ears! Does Charles really want to get married to her or he is just showing.
"M... Mr Charles. Do you mean what you saw?" Mr Williams asked. The anger that was raising inside of him was uncontrollable.
"Mr..Mr Charles, are you sure about these?" Mr Rogers asked to gather some information about this man too.
"I think we all understand English very well. And I believe I can't repeat myself"
"No, no Mr Charles, it's just so early. Don't you think so? " Mr Williams tried to make a point. He came here today just to pickup Lilah forcefully even though she refused. He had planned to make her back home with him no matter what it takes!
unfortunately, lucky isn't on Mr Williams side again. Charles felt a little provoked by his words but he wasn't here to reveal his beast state to anyone.
"Mr Williams, I can tell you have a good ears enough to listen. Why don't you go home and start preparing things for your daughter marriage with me." He turned to Lilah.and smiled devilishly but only makes her blushed.
"Are you ready?" Charles asked Lilah, who face was a bit lower to the ground.
Ready? But ready for what? Lilah asked inwardly. She was still stunned and confused on what game Mr Charles was playing with her father. But since the game never affecting her, she found it pleasant!.
"To where?" Lilah asked blankly. Just that moment, Charles phone dipped. Quickly without a second thought. His deep his phone Into one of his pocket and bought out the phone.
He chuckled she. He saw the caller ID. It was no other but Lim himself!
" The devil is calling" he said mischievously. And everyone shuddered.
That must be Mr X calling. Lilah concluded on her head.
