"Princess." His voice was barely audible because of the wind breeze as they sat on the white sand holding their hands.
"Yes." She answered back brushing the strand of hairs back behind her ears.
"It's time we should return."
"Hmm." they stood up as they walked to their car.
The rest of the ride was quiet neither of them gossiped except for holding hands.
"See you soon." She got out of the car before giving a quick peck on his flaming lips.
"Bye." Saying this she rushed into the building.

Theoden was getting ready to leave for the Airport. He left the room as he walked to the cafeteria to have some breakfast. Lilly was already waiting for him at the table next to a glass window. The view was terrific from the window, bed of black roses, and in between a fountain stood spraying water giving it a refreshing feeling.
"I ordered waffles and pineapple juice for you, is the fine?" He St on the chair opposite to her.
"Yeah, but we have to be quick." He checked the time on his watch.

"Sir your order." He placed the plates on the table and left.
"Did you find the mastermind behind those threatening calls? Lilly." He asked as he sips his drink.
"Whoever he is he has some mastery in his work." She replied.
"Unlike you. You couldn't even figure out if it is he or she." He tested her.
"Huh." She was shocked or maybe confused at his sudden question.
"You know who she is?" She asked him.
"I never said that the person is she." He held back his smile.
"No, I meant did you find the person's gender, and..."
She choked on her food.
"I'm working on her identity. Aren't you?"
"Y..ye..yes I am."
"It's time." He stood up from his chair.
She grabbed her handbag and walked behind her.

They were already on the plane Lilly sat next to him reading a magazine, her hands shaky.
"Are you alright?" He asked.
"Yeah, all descent. Why?"
"Nothing you're just shaky."
The flight was about to land when she had a call to attend.

"Wai."
"Hello love where are you? You haven't been home since Thursday?" Her mom asked her on the phone call.
"Mom I'm...noting. Doesn't matter where the hell I am. I'm busy right now talk to you later."
"But I was getting worried." Her mother said.
She declined the call and slipped her phone into the bag.

Monday morning Estella was in her office when someone knocked on the door.
"Come in."
Two men walked in dressed in ebony.
They got dangerously close to her.
"What is wrong with you?" They grabbed her by her shoulder. "Security." She yelled. but before she could call out for help again they covered her mouth.
"Now be quick and tell us where is it," he demanded. Falling her to the ground her hands locked at her back.
"Ahhh." She groaned in suffering.
"Get back." Her voice demanding.
"Unless you provide us with all the information you have got."
"Never."
They pulled her arms into each other making her scream in pain.
"Search her room." The one holding her demanded.
He pulled the drawers open searching for a small memory card as he threw things out of their places creating a mere mess in the room.
He kicked the chair to the ground.
"I see fear in your eyes." His fingers lifting her face to gaze into her brown chocolaty eyes.
He let go of off her with a jolt. Her neck strained as the pain got her in her whole core.
"Lady while I'm being gentle tell me where is the memory card." He ordered as he arched his knee in her back taking her to the ground. Her hair falling on the marble floor.
He twisted her right arm."ahhhhhhh." Her breath was heavy.

A man grabbed the gun from the drawer and shoot her, right in the abdomen. Blood streamed from her body into her white blouse as she was left alone in her scrambled office.
She got together her strength, wore her black coat grabbed her bag, and rushed to the parking lot. She drove to the nearby hospital. She locked the car door and walked inside the hospital.
As she entered the building the smell of alcohol, spirit and medicines got her nauseous as she hit the bottom. Her red blood staining the white marble floor.
The only thing she could make out was some woman's voice while she was unconscious.

Lilly was in her secret room preparing for another threatening call. She lifted her head when she heard someone's footsteps. In walked a man, black boots with combat trousers. Black hood and a mask hiding his facial feature except for the blue frozen eyes that sparkled in the dark.
