Lover Forced The Ruler

Chapter 3. The Sky Tonight

“Dick girls. I feel like something is wrong with them. Every time there's just a new kid who looks familiar to them for some time. The new child was ignored. Apparently they have a rotten job. Lisle, you should have told me before.  Black Mountain isn't as friendly as you think it is. Not to be compared to the small town of Glassville. There are always people who want to take advantage, especially beautiful girls. You're lucky to be good tonight. Otherwise, I can't imagine what will happen to you!”

Celine looks really angry. She loved Lisle like her own sister hence feeling annoyed with the innocence of this girl. How could Lisle trust Sally and her friends and save their friendship from Celine.

 

“I'm sorry. I thought you'd forbid me to leave if I told you..”.

“Of course I'll ban you. You're this...” Not finished Lisle spoke she had already cut in anger. “You can't trust everyone. Especially if you are in a foreign place. You should ask my opinion.”

Lisle raised her still wet face. Feeling understood if Celine scolded him. How can he keep his departure to the club tonight like a bad boy who's afraid of being scolded by his mother. But....

He remembered a man named Kennard. It was like even to death he would not tell about their meeting even to his own mother. It was something very embarrassing. He doesn't want to remember. He wanted when he woke up tomorrow, he had already forgotten about the man.

He unconsciously bit his own lips. He missed that part. He only told Celine the rest of the story but did not explain in detail how he got away.

Besides I didn't expect to see that guy again ‘ did I? This will be his secret for life.

***

At the club, after Lisle had died a few hours earlier.

Kennard received a call from his cell phone. Listening for a moment without saying a word then closing it without showing any expression. Only his eyes became warmer.

David who was playing a card game with some girls glanced a little. Although Kennard's face looks flat, but as a friend of the game since childhood, he can read the mood of the man who was sitting estranged.

After putting a card on the table that was greeted by complaints from several of his co-stars, David sipped his drink. His eyes again glanced at Kennard at a glance.

“It seems the night sky is very bright,” he said as he shook the glass in hand.

Nathan who was sitting across the table raised his face from the card in his hand. He saw David gesturing with a chin motion pointing at Kennard. Nathan followed David's view.

Kennard sat alone on the large sofa. No girl would dare to approach him without permission. The man with a tall posture sits with his legs. The hand supports the perfect side of her face with the elbow resting on the arm of the sofa. His index finger occasionally rubbed his own lips. He remembered that kiss.

The girl's soft lips still left sweet. Kennard could have guessed that it was the first look from the girl's reaction that seemed to be in shock with her treatment. That little elf, how could the men around her miss it? If they had met for a long time, the girl might have been his.

Kennard let her go because he didn't want to make the girl even more afraid. Usually when he is already interested in a girl, he will not stop before getting it. But this little elf, with just a kiss she had almost fainted, how Ken could hastily touch her.

He'll get the girl next time. He is not worried about losing.

“Yeah, everything looks really good today. You agree Ben?” Nathan elbowed Benjamin beside him who was busy whispering with a sexy girl next to him.

Benjamin who felt his name called suddenly turned his head. For a moment he was confused by the direction of the conversation but his brain that was working quickly immediately understood. His two best friends were watching Kennard. Like everyone else, he also knew that there was nothing better than Kennard's mood tonight.

“Ah, I'm bored!” Nathan suddenly throws his card at the table, scattering it. It quickly grabbed a full glass of wine and downed it with almost no leftover.

There were disappointed voices from some of the girls. Nathan's a fun opponent. If he has laid down his cards and decides to quit, there is no reason for others to continue the game.

They haven't been together like this for a long time. Last was a month ago. That was before Kennard went overseas on business. Upon meeting today, Kennard showed no interest whatsoever in this meeting. Although it has become a habit of Kennard to stretch the distance and look cold, but tonight suddenly Nathan felt upset.

“Is there really nothing you want to tell me?” Nathan pulled his body into the backrest. The girl beside him leaned his head on the handsome man's shoulder like a submissive kitten. The question was directed at Kennard.

Kennard raised his eyes and looked around him indifferently.

“Nothing to tell. Didn't everything look so good tonight?” syndicate Kennard.

Did they think I didn't hear talk about ‘angit tonight? What is so bright? Isn't it raining out there....

When they came, the sky began to shed its tears. And just now from the background sound on the phone, he could hear the loud rain.

***

Want to be my girlfriend?

You have nothing to lose as my girlfriend....

I'm Kennard Ken....

Lisle covered her ears with a pillow because the voices did not go away. Like the disturbing ghostly voice.

By the early hours of the morning, he was sleeping. His lips voiced delusions. “Do not. Please, don't bother me...”.

His brows furrowed as if he was unhappy with something. Turn the body restlessly.

In his dream the man walked closer. There was a pair of demonic wings that stretched out on his back. His eyes were black flames. He grinned towards Lisle. One day the man pounced on her and covered her with both wings.

Now you are mine...

Even in a dream, the man did not let him sleep in peace.

The next day Lisle was awake by the sound of a cell phone call. An unknown number.

His head feels heavy. Lisle felt a bit feverish. With her eyes still closed she heard a heavy and charming voice. His eyes were wide in horror.
