Morpheus Obsession

Khione's POV

Lowe instructed the captain to head back immediately to the port when we heard the news.

"Why is my father's life in danger?" I asked for fifth time but because everyone was anxious and busy about what's happening, they couldn't answer my question.

"Let's go." Lowe helped me get inside the car.

Confused, I looked at the driver, "Who are they?" I asked when I saw that there are also many well-built men in black outside the car we are riding in.

They all look professional, immaculate and have mascular appearance.

For what I remember, we didn't brought many cars here in Italy and I am sure that they are not my mom's men either.

"Don't worry. They won't harm you." Lowe said. His soft voice always making me lose my insanity. I think I need to visit a doctor after this mess.

I couldn't sit still. Pursing my lips and biting it inside, silently dying because of worrying too much for my father.

I silently watched their actions. My eyes widened when I remembered something, "Where's mom?" Looking back at the other cars at the back.

"She's with Zerosi." He answered. I got even more nervous when he faced me.

"Everything will be fine. I promise." I was left dumbfounded, when he planted a kiss on my forehead.

When we get into my mom's house, everything is already set. She gave me a big hug as I soon as I got out of the car.

"I hope you're father is okay." I could see the concern in her eyes.

I know that they still love each other. I have no idea about the reason of why they had divorce but this is also not the right time to ask.

"Come with me." Lowe called that made me turn  my attention to him.

We went upstairs until we reached my room.

I thought he was planning to rest for a while but when he opened my closet I realized that he wanted to do something else.

"Hey, what are you doing?" Astonished, I approached him as he stack my clothes in a bag, one by one.

"We're leaving Italy."

His voice was serious when he said that. So I decided to shut up and help him fix my things.

"Let me." I snatch the bag from him, especially when I catch a glimpse of my undies, which will be the last to put inside the bag.

I even saw the sudden redness of his ears as he avoid my gaze.

"We will return to the Philippines then." I said. A bit dissapointed and sad because it is undeniable that I liked our short stay here in Italy.

He cleared his throat as he turn to me with his hands on his pockets, "No."

I was stunned when I darted my eyes on him, "Why?"

"A few days after we got here, your father flew to a country." He began, "Apart from us, he also need some things to take care of as the leader of Mafia Inferno." He walked to the side of the bed and sat there.

"But he can just order that and let his men do it for him." I said.

Not because of his power as a Don, but I know my father. He is more inclined to dictate other people to do things for him.

"That's also what we were wondering at first."

I closed the suitcase before walking closer to him.

"Your father knew it was dangerous for him to go somewhere else, especially since we found out that he only brought a few personnel and some of his men." He lay down and rested his head on his both arms while his feet was still on the ground.

"What time are we leaving?" I asked him. "I hope dad's okay." I played with my fingers.

There was a moment of  silence in the room so I was so shocked when I looked back at him and he was already looking at me.

"What are you staring at?" I raised an eyebrow.

"Nothing."

"What about you, answering my question then?" I asked, kind of pissed.

He stiffled a laugh, "We're leaving at 5:00."

"Okay."

My next plan is to leave the room but before I could get up I looked at the clock at the wall.

"5:10 pm na ah!" I shouted.

"Exactly." He smirked that made me frown.

"Why aren't we leaving yet? We need to hurry okay?" I said.

It's annoying to think that he had my attention for the whole time and let us stay here longer as if nothing bad is happening.

"Let's go." He still laughs as he said those words. He got up and walked ahead carrying my suitcase.

"Akin na, kaya ko naman yan. Magaang lang naman."

"Nah. Let me do it. We need to hurry, right?"

I did not try to take it from him when we reached the stairs. I don't want the both of us to fall down the stairs.

"You're so annoying." I gritted my teeth when I whispered behind him.

He turned slightly and still showing a smile, "Stop frowning. You still look good."

I look at him showing a frustated look and closed my lips tightly then started to put my anger on it.

"Stop doing things with your lips. It's kind of tempting. Like it's begging me to give you kisses." He winked before joining the others in the spacious living room.

We move quickly to get into the airport immediately. We traveled for a few hours and since we had only traveled a week before, I felt like I was already used to it.

I exchanged seats with Gavriel so I'll be seating beside the window.

"Hey--" I stopped myself from talking. I was about to get mad but I saw Gav asleep on my shoulder. I just smiled and look to the people in front.

"Did they contact you again?" Lowe asks Aurelius.

Throughout the trip, they did not stop thinking for the best plans, apart from the one next to me who was sound asleep.

"No. They just gave me the location of where to find Vito." Aurelius replied holding bunch of papers.

Mom let us use her private plane. She knows that it is also dangerous for us to travel but we have no choice. We made sure that there are still enough people to watch over her.

"You should be resting, right?" Keon walk towards our seat.

"Yes but I can't sleep when I'm worried like this." I told him.

He smiled, "I know you're worried but please, trust us." He said to comfort and lighten up my mood.

"I'm fine. You guys are the one who need a break." I refer to others who still working non stop.

"I told you. You just need to trust us." He said before he left.

After hours of travelling, it was late night when we arrived in England.

"England?" I walk beside Lowe.

"Si, your dad's here."
