Hopefully ((on hold))

chapter 12

---Daniel---

I'm currently in a privet jet heading home i kept calling Locus these past few days asking about his plan, and all he answers is 'don't worry everything is fine' but I have this feeling that something is wrong.

I hope he didn't mess it up by doing something bad. Obviously it's been three days Locus told me to stay for a week but I managed to get the job done in less than a day so why stay plus someone was popping in my mind every two seconds I couldn't handle it any more.

Your probably wondering why do I care about her, well she reminds me of my little sister so innocent and sweet who didn't have a chance to enjoy life, every time I see her I feel pain. like it's a second chance to fix things and I really don't want to mess it up. Being away for a few days got me thinking I don't believe Isabell is with Locus's father and I have to prove it to Locus.

I am heading back to her and hopefully she will accept me back and if this means I will stand against my best friend so be it. Im not going to encourage something terribly wrong.

When the jet landed a black SUV was waiting for me so I hop in and head towards the palace, after a few hours I arrived I told the driver to stop before we entered the front gate I need some fresh air so I started walking around till I heard footsteps which caught my attention,
its midnight why would anyone be out at this time.

I moved slow with caution and to my surprise it was the person who I'm eager to see, but why is she out at this time?

She didn't seem to notice me so Without a second thought I came near her and pushed her against a tree she winced in pain I didn't mean for it to be that hard I'm so stupid.

She was gazing the floor clearly shaking then slowly looked up and her wet eyes widen "Daniel" she breaths out surprised.

"What are you doing here? Why are you out at this time?" I demanded answers I tried to look as scary as possible. Why is she out ? was she trying to contact someone? No i don't believe it and i won't she is not a spy.

"Im-I was-" she started pancaking "I'm sorry but I couldn't take it anymore, please don't hurt me" she cried out

I felt a bang on my chest once she said that "I wont  hurt you what makes you think that"

"Locus-he-killed-a-man-in-my-bathroom" she says between sobs "I can't take this anymore I can't live in fear he will kill me and you left me where were you? I want to go home please let me go" she babbled

Locus what have you done.
"Listen to me" I cupped her cheeks wiping away her tears with my finger "I am here now and I will not leave you but I can't let you go if I did many people will get hurt including your sister. Lets go inside its cold out here"

"NO please" she pegged and i can see fear clear in her eyes.

"Do you trust me ?" I question her

She froze then said "Yes" I felt so happy that after I abandoned her she still trusts me.
but now is not the time for this I have to make things straight and Locus jumping into conclusions is not helping.

I grabbed her hand and directed her to the back gate once we entered a few guards were eyeing us in suspicion so I gave them a reassuring nod and head inside, I took her to my room I know Locus will kill me if he finds out that I brought her to the first floor only the most trusted man and chosen maids are allowed to be here but I took my chances.

"Why did you bring me here?" she asked confused

"Well I wanted you to feel safe. And know that no one will harm you here ok?" I replied she nodded "Now I want you to tell me everything that happened and don't miss a part" I demanded

At first she looked doubtful but then started to lay out all of what's in her heart and I listened closely tracking down all her looks and moves, she looks so honest she's not faking her emotions I can clearly see it in her eyes. Locus is wrong and I have to prove it to him.

After hours of talking and sobbing she stopped and questioned me "Where were you? I was afraid that something bad happened to you, I thought he hurt you for what we did that day"

"We did nothing wrong that day OK so just let it go and don't let his words get to you he just went through a lot so he believes that everyone is his enemy. Plus I had work outside the country and I apologize for not telling you it just came out a sudden" I sighed trying to be as convincing as possible

"If he thinks that I am his enemy why did he bought me?"

"Can we please stop for today I feel exhausted and I know you do too so give your pretty little head a rest will u" I said smiling at her. I really needed her to stop asking me questions or I'll start to answer and Locus will not appreciate that its not my line to cross it's Locus's.

"Yeah sure sorry" she turned and started to head towards the door I grabbed her wrist to stop her

"Where are you going?" I questioned

"To my room!! You said i should go rest"

"Well yeah but you're staying here today at least till I make sure no one will bother you anymore" I state

"I really don't want to be a burden" she argues

"Trust me you're not so stop arguing and sleep" I grab the nearest pillow and shove it at her playfully

"Hey that hurts" she giggles throwing the pillow back at me

She clears out her throat then look around awkwardly.
something was on her mind but i can't quite figure it out.

"Say it belle" I smirk at her

She clearly huffs in surrender "Can I take a shower? I know this is surprising and weird but I haven't took a shower since that day and I am afraid of showering in my bathroom" she shyly states staring at the ground

"Sure no need to be embarrassed about it, head inside you'll find a clean towel ill drop my clothes in front of the door so you can change into them" I say

She thanked me then went straight to the restroom. I opened the closet and took an extra cover and a pillow after dropping my shirt and shorts in front of the bathroom door, then  laid down in the couch.

after an hour she came out wearing my grey shirt that was five times her size and shorts, damn she looks good.

"No no no no, you can't do this, I am the one sleeping on the couch now go to your bed now" she demands pointing at the bed

"Sorry cupcake I already called dips on the couch" I say with a smirk

She starts to come closer till she is right in front of me she then grabs my hand and tries to pull me off of the couch but to no avail I start to laugh at her action "You know I am five times your strength right?" I stated sarcastically

I then pulled her hard making her fall on top of me her lips only inches apart from mine.
