Olivia's pov

I shrieked on hearing the sudden announcement. How on earth did he have to call at this time of the day?

No, no, no, This is not the perfect timing, Edward. I thought silently, biting my lip in regret. Did my mom call him after my warning? or is this just a coincidence? God, he is not supposed to be here.

I sighed. 

The sound of Lucas' loud grin made me lookup. His eyes are fixating on mine, and he has this weird expression on his face. Is he making a joke of me or what? Gosh, this is so childish.

" Would you like to collect the phone or I should answer it for you?" He prodded, looking at me intently.

I inhaled slowly, in an attempt to get myself together. It would be stupid of me to show any sign of fear in this situation. 

" You can do as you wish," I muttered in a grumpy tone. I tried sounding unconcerned but I guess my voice was poorly disguised.  He started to laugh immediately after I finished.

I watched him lean back before he spun to face Emily and Micheal.

" Hand me the phone," He stretched his hand towards Michael, and he dropped it in his palm. As he grabbed the phone, it stopped ringing.

I breathe out, releasing all the air I have been holding in.

A part of me was happy as the call ended, but what if he was already here? I don't even have any idea about the reason behind the call. I pray none of these assumptions are right because he will end up getting hurt in the end.

I just continued to stay mute, awaiting their conclusion, though my eyes were glaring at the small scene in front, I'm completely lost and  I had no idea about what was going on.

It would have been another story if they did not know that Edward is in Alaska, but now that my mom has blown up everything; I can't blame her anyway, not like she has an idea of the situation I'm in.

" I don't think this place will be safe any longer, Lucas," I heard Emily faintly, I raised my eyebrow, only to see that Lucas was now back in his seat. I wanted to take my eyes off his face immediately when they landed on him, but I find it hard to do so; Seems like a magnetic force is holding my eyes to his exquisite features that resemble that of a Greek God. How can someone like this turn out to be a wanted criminal? I find myself asking no one in particular. I shook my head in an attempt to get that crazy thought out of my head. Olivia, you are mad, I muttered under my breath, how can I be drooling on his look? Does that make him less of a person that's planning to kill me? I guess I have started to develop some unusual symptoms since I have been staying with these beasts for the past forty-eight hours.

"Are you joking? Lucas, This is not about us but you. Do you think we can survive the next 24 hours here before someone rings the doorbell of this building?" Emily's words drove me back to reality. Her words made me curious about what she meant by that.  Her eyes are looking at Lucas with questions written all over her face. From the corner of my eyes, I noticed Lucas gave me a fleeting look before he faced them back. His expression is somehow sharper than usual.

" And why would you say that?" Michael questioned.

" Can't you see everything? This girl is a threat to us. It would have been better if Lucas killed her that very first day," I can feel my heartbeat moving faster than the normal when I heard this. What the hell have I done to this girl? Even if a miracle happened; I know that's not possible, have known too much about them, they can't be that dumb to let me go scot-free. And I was let go, I do not doubt that this girl will come behind their back and cut me down. Her words and her reactions are just to hurt me more.

" And you think they would not have declared her missing after 24 hours of not getting in touch with her? Common Emily, Boss did the right thing,"

" I never said he did not," Emily defended. 

" But that's what you meant,"  

" Are you arguing with me right now?" Her tone of words has suddenly changed, and her eyes have turned a bit darker now, making her scarier. I can't help but wonder if it was because of Micheal's words she is being like this or is something attached to this?

" Olivia, I am only stating the fact. No one is at fault," Michael replied calmly. I guess he also noticed that she is about to get angry. But why does he sound like he was apologizing? Or is there also a kind of seniority between the two?  I darted my eyes to Lucas, thinking he will say something to this, but with his expression, he doesn't seem like someone that will say something anytime soon. He was too calm for a Criminal.

For a few seconds, none of them talked, only the sound of my heartbeats filled the entire room. I just glared down, returning to my reverie. Thinking of the next thing to do. But wait, if they are leaving today or tomorrow, does that mean I will be dead by..? Heat flooded my face all the way to my hairline as it hit me. Maybe it's good news, at least I will be free from all this, I thought sadly.

" Michael, how did it go with the Brokers?" Lucas Husky's voice broke the silence. It was as if he wanted everything to die down before talking.

" It went well, One has been secured, I'm very sure you will like it," Micheal answered.

" Good."

Anthony Lucas's pov

I thought hearing that Michael had managed to secure a building would be good news to me, but it's the other way round. I can't help but to feel cold and numb on hearing this, and I don't like it, experiencing this kind of emotion only means one thing, I'm getting weak.  This is unusual, also, this is not the first time of seeing her, but why does this feel different? 

Anyway, the situation has changed, and I don't think I'm left with no choice but to kill her, either I do it by myself or Emily, I need to choose. Deep down, I know I don't want to hurt her, unfortunately, I can't keep her at the same time. I have a lot to face than to be sitting here, reminiscing about what to do about one fragile girl's heart.

In the end, I still have to decide. Just like Emily said, I thought she would be of Help, but when I think about it. She will only make it harder for me. I don't know this feeling, but I'm sure it will fade away when she is no longer here.
