willing to be your knight (Knight Series, #2)

51: Lost

Unknown Number:
- Help me!

"Sino 'yan?"

My senses were brought back to life when I heard Liam that was busy eating his ice cream while looking at the pigeons walking in the park center.

"I don't know." I shrugged it off. "Maybe a scammer, I don't really know."

He just looked at me confused before going back to looking at the pigeons. What a weird guy. So furious about everything else except when he's like that. Distracted by the cutest littlest things in the world.

He was munching on his ice cream but I remembered that he shouldn't be having that as it is still cold here. I only bought because I couldn't handle his puppy eyes.

"Why the fuck would you do that?!"

I was crying myself out, laughing at him. His ice cream was gone. I ate it all in one scoop.

"You cannot have much ice cream."

"Bwiset."

A giggle went out of my mouth. He's too cute. I folded my phone and put it in my pocket before grabbing Liam by his sweater, ordering him to stand up. He wasn't too stubborn and just let me drag him back to the car that was much warmer than the seat on that park.

"Are you okay?"

My eyes were on the road and my hands were busy on the wheels but I knew he was eyeing me for what asked about.

"I mean your cold."

"Ah! Yeap! Almost gone." I heard his sigh of relief.

We need to leave the US immediately. Not only because of his health but also because the longer I was in the States, the more dangerous it is for Liam and Layn, and everyone that's concerned with the two.

"How are you?" He then asked.

I was dumbfounded by his question.

How really was I? I was happy I'm with him. I fucking angry I cannot be with him.

All the doubts that was in my head. All the worries, the problems, all of it. They will all be solved when I leave him alone. I was starting to think Alexa was right when she told me I need to get Liam out of my life. I was bluffing myself when I told myself I can protect him.

The truth was even with all the money that I had, my father's too powerful. I could never overpower him.

"Green na 'yung light, Drey." After he said that, I looked at him only for me to see that he wasn't looking at me anymore.

My heart ached.

I was troubled and he sees it. I am full of doubts and he was starting to see they're all about him.

I mean some, yes. But I could see how he worries. I know he will be doubting himself if he could be ever be mine. And even though he already was, I felt like we were still miles apart.

After what felt like hours, we finally arrived at the house I rented and my fears only doubled when I saw around seven cars in front of it.

My blood had risen to my head and I started sweating. It's my Dad.

A couple of familiar faces gazed me. My personal bodyguards back then. My dad's little toys. They were still loyal to him after a decade of looking after me.
