Layla opens her eyes at first in the morning. What greeted her eyesight was a pair of tender eyes that filled with warmth and gentleness. The man reaches out his hand, stroking away the hair strands on her forehead.
" Good morning, Layla." His soothing voice didn't quell the anger that starts to blare uncontrollably. This man...
" Good morning, Young Master Adrian." She spoked while gritting her teeth, stopping her from hurl string of curses towards the shameless man. Is he treating her room as their bedchamber?
Amused at her getting angrier, he rose from his bed position only to pin her down to the bed. Layla, who still tired from the sleep, stunned. Without getting the chance to struggle, Adrian already on top of her. Trapping her head with his elbows, her hands were pinned at the top of her head. The man's masculine scent wafted into her nostril, telling her how close they are. The way Adrian trapping her underneath, Layla's eyes widened, giving her a clear sight of the man half-naked state.
" today is the weekend, I want to bring you out." Adrian used his weight to press the beauty underneath him, trapping her effortlessly. Layla was too occupied at the shock given to her, failing to realize that she still under the man's body. The warmth from their body contact eliminated the morning coolness she felt. Did she forget to lower the aircond temperature?
" where?" Layla blurt out. Adrian chuckled, grazing away strands of hair that covered her forehead and face. Pleased that the woman didn't struggle or tried to push him away, Adrian let his body relaxed and continue doing staring contest with her.
" looks like you forgot about our marriage registration, love..." Adrian pouted. Because of his sudden packed schedule and busy days last few weeks, he postponed their marriage registration until now. The ring he prepared were still inside his nightstand drawer. His fingers caressed the ring he put on her at the day they meet, giving him the satisfaction of that she still his. At least, the ring doing its job to ward off all the stinky men that tried to court her.
Layla blushed. Well, she was too busy lately because of school having a midterm examination. She needs to prepare for the exam by sorting out all kind of question from last years. She also didn't realize that she slowly forgetting her true role as a bodyguard and continue to become a teacher instead.
Her contract with Black Flag Organisation was soon to be ended. She promised her adoptive parent that she joining the organization for a couple of years only. To be honest, she wanted to retire earlier, but Allen insisted her to continue for another few years. Her reputation in the underground world can be said on par with the former legend assassin, Zeus.
Zeus disappears right after his last mission raiding the enemy nest that killed several of Black Flag's men and others from another organization. Other than Allen and some selected instructors, Layla was the only one who knew Zeus real identity as the oldest heir of Chang Family, Adrian Chang.
" Oh, um...do we need to get married? We can just fake it, though. It's not like people will check about this.." Layla trail off. Adrian smirked, sending a chill through her whole being. What damn ideas he had right now?!
" Tsk, tsk, tsk...my dear, you underestimated my enemies too much. Layla, looking down on your enemy means lost the war before started. Evan is my nephew, the national treasure and the strongest brain of the nation. What he creates or invented worth billions of dollar. He may be a normal student in your eyes, but his other identity as a researcher in biomechanical would bring him down to hell. That's why we choose to let him live as a normal student than caging him like an exotic animal."
Layla frowned, " He can stay hidden in the basement for the time being, though. To be honest, I never cared about what kind of thing he does back then in the past. But, what makes me terrified was how many assassins have been sent over just for his head. It does not make sense at all! Adrian, who's Evan actually? He a researcher, yes. But, only that? I don't believe it. Don't try to hide it from me!" Layla sent glaring stares at the man. Adrian pursed his lips, not knowing how to explain it to her.
" Alright, you will know eventually. I'll tell you on the way. Come, wake up and shower with me," Adrian lick his lips at his wild imaginations. Layla's eyes twitch. This shameless man court death! He didn't even bother to hide his bad intention towards her at all!
" GO.TO.HELL!!!" She roared and sent a punch to his handsome face.
Bonk!
"...." Adrian shaking, holding his stinging face. That's hurt a lot, aye...
