Chapter 5

"If I were you, I wouldn't have just done that if I wanted to live."

I got stunned when I saw Ackley. Yes, he was the one who punched the man with a malice against me. The man got up immediately and was about to punch him, but Ackley preceded him. He took the man's arm and twisted it.

"Damn it! You interrupted us! Who are you, huh?! What are you doing here?! If you want, you are can be next after me. Bro, that woman is beautiful, can't you see?" Ackley twisted his arm even more, thus, we could only hear his shout everywhere.

"Yes, she's beautiful, but I won't ever do this to her. You do not know how important she is to me." He let go of the man before he could even remove the man's arm. Frankly, I still feel sorry for the man because of what Ackley did.

He was about to punch him again when I stopped him. "Stop it, Ackley. You might kill him." I hugged him from his back.

He stopped what he was going to do and turned to me. I can see that he's very worried for me. "Shh, don't cry, Dariantha. My heart breaks when I see you like that. Don't worry, I won't kill him." He hugged me back.

I did not realize that I was crying. I cried even more because of what he said. He caressed my back. Soon after, I saw the man got up. He grabbed a stick, and I was about to shout, but someone suddenly punched him again.

When I looked at who it was, I saw Kaid clenching his fist. When he looked at us, he also averted his eyes again. I don't know, but it seems like I just want to go and hug him, too.

Police arrived with Dalton and Lynn. The police took the man, but before he could get out, my brother punched him in the stomach. I let go of Ackley's embrace.. Lynn approached me. You could tell she was worried.

"Are you okay, Dari? What happened? Why did you come along wit him?" she continuously asked.

I wiped away my tears first before I told her what happened. If it wasn't because of Ackley, the man would have done something to me. I really thought he was kind. But it was just a thought, he was actually a pervert.

Dalton approached me. He hugged me before we left. I saw that we were in a part of the resort which was a bit hidden so it was dark. It's far from the pool, but I still really thank Ackley for coming.

I gave my statement to the police before we went back to our hotel rooms. The guys first entered Lynn and I's room. And then I asked Ackley how he found out, even though I didn't shout.

"When he put a blindfold on you, I saw him smirked. I followed you because I had a bad feeling. At first, I was a little lost because of his speed and it was a bit dark in that part. But when I heard scratches, I went there, and I saw what's happening. The part that I didn't know is that Kaiden followed me. And thanks to him, the man did not get to hit me with a stick."

He looked at Kaid and smiled. He thanked him for it, but the latter didn't answer. It was as if I could see pain in his eyes every time he looks at me and Ackley.

I thanked them before they left. "Go to sleep, Dariantha. We will be back early tomorrow," Dalton reminded before they finally left. Lynn and I stayed here.

She approached me again. "Are you really okay, Dari?"

I smiled at her with a genuine smile so she wouldn't have to worry. "Don't worry, Lynn, I'm okay. Nothing happened except what I told you." My smile faded a little when I remembered what had happened, but I still returned the smile.

"Okay. All right, let's go to sleep." She went back to her bed after it. And we went to sleep.

"Dariantha, rest first before we continue the shooting. You are so sweaty," said our director. I went inside the tent to rest.

One week had already passed since that day happened. I kind of forgot already, actually. Thank God, Dalton didn't tell Mom about it because I'm sure Mom won't let it pass; she will surely find the man to scold him.

Nothing much happened last week. I still receive a variety of flowers that make me very happy. It felt like I already like him. Thus, I badly want to see him.

I went out of our tent and looked up at the sky. We're on an open field, and it's already nighttime, but we need to shoot this because this will be our last shooting. Yes, our movie will be released anytime soon.

Dalton is here too because like I said, we both have a movie to shoot. He is just extra so sometimes; he does not go to the places we go to. But he is here now because there is a part he will show.

"Okay! Come back here! Let's start again!" Our Director shouted before we went to the center.

Today was my wedding with Brennon. Dad already died while Cyril accepted the truth, and our daughter will stay with him for a year before he will give her to me, that's our deal. Brennon and I had a son, and his name was Bryce. After a year, Cyril gave our daughter to me and there, Brennon, my daughter, our son and I live happily.

"Finally! We're done! Go to the studio tomorrow because there will be a press conference. Don't be late." Our director went to his tent.

Lynn called Ackley. They said we are going to celebrate because finally, our movie is over. Ackley came immediately; he approached me to hug me.

After it, he gave me a paper bag. I accepted it and when I saw what's inside, it was as if I wanted to hug him again.

He just gave me my favorite food!

I know we both like this food so he already knows, but I really want to hug him again! "Thank you for this, Ackley! You do not know how happy I am," I smiled.

The smile you could always see when I receive a flower, that's the smile you could see now.

"Always welcome, Dariantha. Congrats!" He ruffled my hair. From my peripheral vision, I saw Kaid clenched his jaw. What is his problem?

"What's your problem, Lynn? Let go off me!" We all looked at Dalton as he shouted. Lynn was clinging to his arm. He's trying to remove it, but he can't. Seriously, they look cute!

"I am just clinging on to you, Dalton. Dari, can you tell your brother to just let me?" She looked at me, pouting.

When I looked at Dalton, he was glaring at me as if he were saying I should not say what Lynn wants me to say. "Let her, Dalton, if you don't want to be called my older brother," I smirked.

Yeah, he doesn't want to be called as my older brother, for he thinks it is disgusting to call him that. Here in Philippines, the younger sister calls her older brother 'Kuya'. But because we are still Australians and just living here, I still don't call him 'Kuya'.

It is just my weapon against him if he won't do what I want him to do.

His face wrinkled, obviously he really did not want to be called as my older brother. He did nothing when Lynn's grip tightened.

Kaid approached me. I stiffened when Ackley and he both wrapped their arms around my shoulder. They also removed it immediately; then they looked at each other. I sighed. I just wrapped my arms around their shoulders so there would be no fight.

"What are you two fighting about, huh? You two look like children." I pulled them closer to me, which annoyed them.

We went inside our cars and drove to the nearest restaurant. When we saw quite many people, we wore caps and shades. But it seems that they have all caught more attention because of that. Seriously, who's going to wear caps and shades when it's night? Obviously, it's us.

When we were at the entrance, the guard stopped us. "Ma'am and Sir, it is forbidden to wear hats inside the restaurant."

"Dude, it will be a chaos if they see my handsome face," Kaid whispered, yet the guard did not respond.

"Bro, do you like to watch movies?" Ackley asked, and even though he is confused, the guard nodded. "A movie will be released in the upcoming week. If you want your children and spouse to watch it, you are free," he smiled.

It surprised the guard while I just sighed. If Ackley wasn't here, I might say the same to him. We're almost the same, right?

Ackley gave the guard his calling card so that he could call him if they ever wanted to watch Kaid and I's movie. The guard was even a little surprised that we were all probably actors and actresses. I don't think he recognized us, and I'm thankful for that because our disguise worked.

Fortunately, the guard was there so the people there did not bother us much. We just ate as a celebration and then went home so we could rest.
