FATED

CHAPTER SEVEN

The next Morning the girls dragged themselves to the hall assigned for their morning prayers, before the selected few would go into a three weeks seclusion. Two girls with different energy and level of excitement. Sheila couldn't wait to start her seclusion, while Lily was having that something eating at your stomach linings feeling that started immediately they entered the hall. 

"Relax Lil, you are too tense, you're gonna hurt yourself you know"

Looking around her environment, she felt she was being watched but couldn't see any suspicious person lurking, infact everyone in there were preoccupied with finding their assigned locations and talking excitedly, touching her forehead,she grimaced as she felt a migraine setting in.

"Good Morning Beautiful"

Hearing his deep husky voice whispered into her ears, was just what the doctor ordered, not even noticing her migraine disappearing just as quickly as it came, she smiled shyly and looked at his face, drinking in everything about him.

"Good Morning Kiaris"

"ok, lovebirds wrong place, wrong time, keep it in your pants okay"

Seeing Lily's school girl expression, Sheila shook her head and gave them a mock stern look.

" Yes ma'm"

Kiaris responded with equal mocked seriousness.

"what are you doing here Mr Kiaris cant bear to be away from Lily? I thought the media don't cover the seclusion?"

yeah while its true that the seclusion would not be recorded, he still had other ways to go in the seclusion .

"yeah am here for the seclusion too"

"w..what? you are actually here for the seclusion?"

Lily asked surprised as the one thing she has always trusted a 100%  was her instinct, and she had a feeling that Kiaris wasn't the kind of man that would believe or go in places like this.

"what? I don't look like someone who would go to these retreats?"

Kiaris asked looking at Lily, awaiting her answer.

"No"

"........."

Lily answered so straight forward that he couldn't help smiling, picking up her bag along his, he tugged her arm slightly to the electronic board that had their names and their seclusion locations pasted.

"Alright come on lets go check out where we are assigned"      

"oh yes, I hope we stay in the same location Lil"

Sheila stated so matter of fact that Kiaris looked at her , with the thought "yeah, you and I both".

Looking at the boards and scrolling with the stylus pen placed on the pen holder, they got the informations they came for, after wards it appeared that Kiaris was still searching, looking at his serious expression, Lily wondered again at his strange behaviour, what exactly was he looking for?.

"Huh Mr Kiaris, it seems, both you and Lily are assigned to the same location, so I will have to entrust her to you, don't let her get hurt okay?"

Hearing Sheila's voice made Kiaris stop his search and  looked at them like they just sprouted extra head.  No need for  these overflowing excitement Lily thought sarcastically but didn't voice her thought as she glared at him and turned towards the man on the podium congratulating them on their assignment and begining of their seclusion.

"oh yes, of cause"

Looking guiltily at Lily who was turned from him, he cursed his stupidity silently, how could he be so careless, searching like that without an explanation, not only made him looked like he was a creep, but also made him seem like he didn't care if he was in the same location with Lily. Of cause he cared, he spent a fortune just to be here with her and also to be assigned in the same location as her. sighing he looked at her tensed back, and started a plan on how to win her back without exposing her to the dangers  lurking around.
