Later that day I went to take a walk outside alone when Ren appeared out of nowhere.

- Can I join? - he asked cheerfully.

- Uh... Sure - I nodded as we continued our walk together.

After a while of just walking quietly he spoke up again...

- There's something that bothers me for a while now...

- And what is it?

He suddenly stopped and he stopped me from walking too.

- What you have said back at the island.

- Huh? What did I say...?

- "I know how it feels to not know your mother at all" - he said and just then I remembered.

- Uh... This is not...

- I've talked to you about my mother... Why won't you tell me about yours? - he asked then he took my hand - I just want to find out more about you... As maybe we'll soon work together...

I sighed deeply.

- My mother died in a car accident when I was very little... Like... Around 6 months old...

- Oh...

- And soon after that my sister also died... So I have no one left, but my father, who's in a war right now... And my grandmother...

- I'm really sorry to hear that... I shouldn't have asked...

- No, it's okay! - I smiled - Atleast I could share this with someone I trust...

He smiled again then pulled me into his arms.

- I know it's hard...

After a while of hugging I looked up into his eyes again.

God, his blue eyes...

- Maybe you always play some flirty player... But lately I can see you're more than that!

- This is only because of you - Ren replied - If we wouldn't have met I might as well would still be the same person.

- Enough already! - I snapped - You're making me blush again!

- You're even more beautiful when you blush - he winked.

Aaaand he starts again.

But I don't mind... I like him the way he is...

----- TIME SKIP -----

Another few hours later when I was in my room with Selvaggia I got a phone call from Diego...

- Diego! Where are you?! Everyone's really frustrated because of you!

- I know and I'm sorry, but my boss got a stroke and I had to take care about him first and make sure if he's okay! But now I'm stuck in the traffic...

- Ah, god!

- Yeah. But where are the others?

- In their rooms by now.

- Yeah, right... It's way too late.

- I was worried about you...

- Clari, I uh...

- I was worried too! - snapped Selvaggia who by now knew who am I talking to.

- I'm sorry, girls... - he sighed into the phone - By the way Clari...

- Yes?

- Did you tell them anything? You know...

- No, I didn't. But you better hurry back because they're already suspecting something...

- I thought so... But don't worry, I'll end this soon.

- What do you mean?

- I'm no longer working as Sebastian - he said and I could feel relief in his voice.

- What?!

- Sorry, but now I have to go... I'll see you soon.

And with that he hung up on me...
