The Worst Man To Love ♡ NaLu

5th Downfall (pt. 1)

"The man who'll be her worst nightmare"

Everything was foreign yet refreshing at the same time. Having to explore Magnolia was tiring but it was worth it. More local people had given her second glances and even some foreigners too. It certainly annoyed her and yet she wasn't even wearing a skimpy outfit.

"Hi" A man had greeted her, showing off his complete set of teeth. She mentally groaned yet keeping herself from being rude. "Hey"

"So uhm.. I was wondering if you are a bit lost? I could help you for directions." Indeed, the man was being polite yet she was persistent that she don't want any help. "Don't be too concerned with my friend, dude." She yelped once she felt a warm shoulder over her torso. The man had raised his hands in surrender. "Sorry dude. I didn't know she was taken." He quickly walked away. Her cheeks flushed upon his sudden outburst. H- He isn't my boyfriend. She thought to herself. "Don't be too friendly with strangers next time." His rosy hair stood out from his face. It was peculiar and rare to see such type of color and yet it suits him well. His gaze burned at the back of her head.

Instead of feeling disgusted beside him, she just strangely felt secure. Warmth radiated with in him. "A- And don't flirt with strangers, baka!" Her mysterious savior suddenly went away as well. What was that? "I wasn't flirting you jerk!" She screamed in reply. Lucy huffed in annoyance and glanced as his body blended among the crowd.

Her mind was jittery once more. She felt desperate as soon as her that a rival company had made a proposal to him as well. She hadn't knew that he was famous and well known. It had occured to her that his family was known of their brilliant engineers for decades.

"Why the long face my dear niece?" The same shade of blonde as hers had her hands at both of her shoulders. "Aunt Anna." She greeted in respect. "So.. what's bothering you Lucy?" The two females could be easily mistaken as twins if not compared by their personalities. Some people couldn't tell them apart due to the fact that both held the same hair, the same gaze and the same aura that they shared. If Layla, Lucy's deceased mother, was alive, the trio could've been mistaken as triplets. Although of the same appearance, there was something about Anna Heartfilia that could make any person intimidated by her mere presence. After all, she wasn't just known as the iron lady of the court for nothing.

Lucy abruptly replied. "I have a business meeting later. That's all." Anna sighed in slight disappointment. Nothing about Lucy's background in her studies interest her but she was persistent to get her to a prestigious school that she wanted. "Such a shame, you should aspire to be a great lawyer someday." The younger Heartfilia smiled despite of her comment. "It's ok Aunt Anna. I could handle father." Anna merely scoffed before striding to her own business.

They were alike yet different beings. Lucy held compassion and serenity and Anna was much dominant female, if not colder than her father. There was much history behind her than meets the eye. Lucy would know for she had seen what she was before when Lucy was still young. She audibly remembered her father compared Anna to her. It just that Anna was a cold shell to what Lucy's innocence was.
