Me, What It Is

CHAPTER 22 ~ Believe In You ~

Reana looked out the window from the presidential suite's classroom. Reana was locked in a super luxurious room. A guard stood by the door.

The girl's tears didn't stop, she couldn't shake the bad shadow in her mind.

Why did Nico get here ?

What will they do to him ?

Why did Mr Malvin bring me here ?

What does he want ?

many questions swirled in his mind.

The girl's tears continued to melt, the girl could not help but feel sad and afraid of what happened to Nico. The girl's body is still shaking.

It was clear the girl saw Nico was successfully cupped by the bodyguards of Mr. Malvin.

Are they going to hurt him ? no, please don't hurt her, I beg you not to hurt her, whispered Reana.

Mr. Malvin went into the room, and the guards came out. Reana tensed up, her eyes following in the footsteps of master Malvin. The man took off his black suit and threw it on the sofa.

While stepping the handsome man took off the buttons of his white shirt sleeves. Not until there he then took off the buttons on the white shirt, then removed the second button.

Reana looked at each of Mr. Malvin's behavior with fear, and wondered what Mr. Malvin wanted, what he would do.

Mr. Malvin glanced at Reana who was standing by the window, her hands trembling with the fancy curtains attached to the room.

Mr. Malvin took off one more button on his shirt. Stepping closer to Reana, the white chest of his field was muscular. Reana moves sideways, the girl reflexively moves away from master Malvin. Every step forward, Mr. Malvin, Reana stepped back.

But the more it shifts, the more cornered Reana is. Mr. Malvin smiled looking at the girl's panicked face. Reana was cornered, Reana panicked, the only thing she thought about was trying to run towards the door but Mr. Malvin immediately grabbed the girl's body.

Reana thrashed, her tears flowing in the corner of her eyes. Mr. Malvin holds both hands and Reana pushes the girl against the wall.

Reana's eyes stared intently at Mr. Malvin, but Mr. Malvin was no match for her. The more challenged the more challenged. Reana absolutely can not drop the mentality of Mr. Malvin, the man was even more violent. Reana loses, her tears flow, the girl gets scared.

Slowly Mr. Malvin brought his face closer trying to point his lips at Reana's. A little more then Mr. Malvin's lips will touch Reana's lips. The girl turned her face tightly shut her lips and both eyes.

The girl's tears were flowing more and more. Reana was really scared, Mr. Malvin stopped his intention, laughing stifledly. Wiping away the tears that flooded the girl's face with her fingers. Gently caress the lips of the girl.

"Just this time there was a woman who rejected me" he said as he loosened his handrails.

Pulling Reana's hand, she pushed the girl onto the sofa. Reana sat down, the girl's eyes following the footsteps of master Malvin, her body trembling, her face showing a confused expression mixed with fear, and her eyes were full of fear,

Mr. Malvin opened the door, two maids came in while pushing the food trolley. Arrange all the dishes on a luxurious dining table complete with candles.

Reana's eyes led to the open door, if she ran there would she manage to escape. Reana.

Don't expect, there must be guards guarding, whispered Reana's heart contrary to her wishes.

Mr. Malvin approached Reana, extending his hand to the girl. Reana just silently turned her eyes the other way. Mr. Malvin grabs the girl's hand and takes her to the dinner table.

The two maids moved out of the room while pushing the food trolley, the guards outside closed the door again.

Reana exhaled heavily, sure enough, there were guards standing behind the bedroom door. Mr. Malvin sat down in front of Reana, sipped a drink and prepared to eat his meal.

"You didn't let me meet you at the restaurant, so I brought you here" Malvin explained.

Reana just kept quiet.

"Why not call me?" ask Mr. Malvin while scooping his food.

Reana still did not answer.

Why should I call you ? reana said in her heart.

"Restrain your food or you're not allowed to leave this room" said Mr. Malvin, still eating his food.

Reana touched her spoon and fork. In this kind of situation Reana has no appetite for food, yet she should try to follow Lord Malvin's orders. Despite the shaking the girl started eating her food.

Reana remembers having lunch at the cafe with Nico. His mind was still not separated from the fate of the man.

How's things going? whispered heart Reana.

Her tears flowed, the girl wanted to ask Nico but was afraid of making Mr. Malvin angry. Reana's phone in a backpack on a vibrating table. The girl glanced at Mr. Malvin.

"Thank God" said Mr. Malvin briefly.

Reana immediately stood up to pick up her phone and saw the contact who called her, Reana's face sparkled with relief as soon as the girl replied.

"Hello, Reana" Nico's voice sounded from across the street, Reana was relieved to hear the man's voice.

"Sister.." said Reana.

Mr. Malvin snatched Reana's phone and turned it off.

"Have you heard his voice ? she's okay isn't she ? is it relieved now ? said Mr. Malvin while putting Reana's phone on a table nearby.

Reana stared at the phone.

"I want you here with me, your body is here but your mind is out of nowhere" said Mr. Malvin, believing the girl was still worried about Nico.

Reana regretted acting that way, but what Mr. Malvin had done just scared the girl. And Reana's still worried about Nico's condition.

"Sorry" Reana said briefly.

With a look in his eyes, Mr. Malvin told the girl to return to her chair.

"That day I really wanted to see you, but the Restaurant Manager said you didn't go to work and they couldn't reach you. I thought they were lying, so I put people to observe there" Mr. Malvin told me and Reana listened.

"When my man saw you enter the restaurant, I was in a meeting, you know what I did? I left the meeting and and flew from Seoul directly to see you" Mr. Malvin continued.

Reana remembered that day after only one course in the morning, the girl decided to go to the restaurant sooner, because it felt bad to have skipped her job for three days because of illness.

"But what I got, remember what you said back then?" mr. Malvin sipped his drink.

"I'm sure, I won't see you again, it's the second time, there won't be a third" said Mr. Malvin imitating Reana's speech at the time, then he laughed loudly.

"A girl ordered me not to see her again ?" mr. Malvin laughed again.

"Took a seven-hour drive and leave the people who trust me in business, just to meet you, and those words I got from you" said Mr. Malvin standing up from his chair.

Reana stopped eating, looked down, her eyes glazed over. The girl did not expect that she had said something that could hurt people's feelings.

This time, an apology alone would not be enough, Reana covered her face with both hands. The girl was sorry.

What must I do to make amends, Reana whispered inwardly.

Reana remembered her remark that time made Mr. Malvin immediately leave the restaurant.

May it be that Mr. Malvin whispered just to avenge his heartache, Mr. Malvin wanted to make me his mistress, just wanted to return my words, whispered Reana realized something.

"My offer was sincere" said Mr. Malvin as if he could read Reana's mind.

"You will be mine, just wait" said Mr. Malvin as he pulled his shirt out from under his pants in vain, making Mr. Malvin's appearance look messy.

The man stepped out with a disheveled appearance, a shirt that was issued and buttons that were not attached, but once he still looked handsome even impressed sexy. Smiling knots at Reana and then disappearing behind the door.

But Reana didn't find even Nico's car invisible. Reana immediately pulled out her phone and called. Nico replied after Reana repeated her call several times.

Why didn't Brother Nico answer immediately, what happened to him, was he okay? reana's whispers worried about the man.

"Hello" finally heard Nico's voice, Reana was relieved.

" Where's Nico?" ask Reana to the point.

"Out" came Nico's voice softly.

Reana ran out of the hotel, after looking to the right and left finally saw Nico who was leaning against the wall of the hotel fence. The car parked not far from there.

Reana immediately approached Nico, observing the man's face which looked bruised and blood was frozen from the corner of his broken lip. Reana was sad and concerned to see Nico's condition, her tears immediately dripped. Nico just bowed.

The man's knee felt limp when he saw the appearance of Mr Malvin waiting for his car on the terrace of the hotel.

Since the guards let him go, Nico tries to get in, but is always blocked until Nico decides to wait for Reana outside the hotel.

Long the man waited, his heart anxious for what Lord Malvin would do to Reana. The man tried to shake off all bad thoughts.

Reana will not submit to the man, Reana does not carelessly submit to men just because she is a rich man, whispered his heart dispels his bad thoughts.

But what if the man forced, suddenly the thought appeared to make Nico again desperate to break through the defense of the guards.

But what he saw, Mr. Malvin came out in disheveled clothes, no longer wearing a suit, a shirt that had gone out of position and buttons that opened up to the chest.

Nico backed off, leaning against the wall of the hotel fence, his mind in disarray.

Reana was just a weak girl, she would not be able to fight that bastard, everything had already happened, Nico's heart screamed while squeezing her hair firmly.

The man felt his head heavy. Nico was crying by himself, frustrated, to the point of not grinding his vibrating phone behind his pants pocket. It awakens and finally receives a call from Reana.

Reana was crying looking at Nico's bruised face. The girl cupped the man's face with both hands. My Nico eyes looked at Reana, then hugged the girl.

"I'm sorry, I can't protect you" Nico said, crying over Reana's shoulder.

"I'm sorry, let him hurt you" Nico continued, shedding tears.

"He didn't hurt me, I'm fine" Reana said, calming Nico as she gently rubbed the man's back.

Nico let go of his embrace.

"You're handing yourself over to him?" ask Nico in a high voice.

"Give yourself up ? what does Nico mean ? I'm not handing myself over to anyone" Reana said in surprise.

"Don't lie, I saw the man walk out of the hotel in a messy outfit" Nico said in a high voice.

Reana is shocked by Nico's thought, what might this man think Reana gave herself to Lord Malvin.

"It's up to you that if Nico doesn't believe me, I can't force people to trust me" Reana said, wiping her tears violently.

The girl opened her backpack, pulled out her phone and put it on the hood of Nico's car, then stepped away. Reana stepped down, her tears coming back.

Maybe this is best, brother Nico should stay away from me, with me will only make you hurt, screamed Reana.

Nico looked at the phone Reana had placed, touching the heart hanger Reana had chosen. Remembering the girl's smile admiring her chosen mobile phone hanger. Being with him was a happy time for Nico.

No, you can't go, I don't want to lose you Nico screamed in his heart.

Nico chased after Reana, hugging the girl from behind.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I believe you" Nico whispered in a hoarse voice.

Reana.

What am I supposed to do, let her be with me? no, I don't want this kind of thing to happen again, Reana screamed.

Reana shook her head, about to walk away, the girl did not want to care about Nico anymore. But Nico survives, unwilling to let go of Reana.

Nico flips Reana's body, the girl looks at Nico's bruised face, her tears dripping.

I caused all this, I hurt Nico, Reana said.

"Don't go, I don't want to lose you" Nico said.

Reana could not bear to leave Nico in this state. The girl felt that Nico had been hurt because of her mistake. The problem with Mr. Malvin was that he got the man involved. Reana nodded, the girl left Nico.

"Don't have P3K?" ask Reana.

Nico nodded, then took Reana to his car. Nico returns Reana's phone, the phone hanger reminding Nico of his own promise to always bind Reana's heart.

Reana applied the gel to treat the bruises to speed up the recovery process and reduce the symptoms of swelling, blueness, and pain on Nico's face.

The girl's heart was sad whenever Nico grimaced in pain as Reana touched the bruised part of her face. Reana's tears melted in the corner of her eye.

"Why are you crying ?" ask Nico quietly.

Girls still continue to smear the gel on Nico's bruises.

"Why did Brother Nico catch up with me ?" reana regrets Nico's actions.

"I can't let you take someone so easily" replied Nico

"Look at the consequences, dare to fight against that many people" said Reana still shed tears.

"This injury is nothing compared to losing you" said Nico lightly but stunned Reana.

That's right, if Nico doesn't show up, I don't know what's gonna happen to him. It could be that Mr. Malvin stopped hurting Reana because Mr. Malvin knew Nico was waiting for him.

Thank you sister Nico, Reana sincerely said in her heart, her eyes softly staring at Nico.

Again the girl shed tears. Nico smilingly stroked gently on Reana's cheek. Nico grabs Reana's hand and attaches it to her field chest. Reana felt Nico's heart beating fast.

Nico looked at the girl, slowly Nico approached, getting closer, Reana held her breath, the girl's heart was pounding, the girl unwittingly closed her eyes.

Reana felt a breath of Nico on her cheek, shortly afterwards Reana felt their lips fuse together, Nico clung her lips to Reana's lips, slowly Reana felt a gentle pull on her lips, again and again.

Nico's tongue tries to pierce Reana's lips.

"Ah, sick" Nico backed off, Reana opened her eyes, seeing Nico holding her injured lip.

The girl turned her face away with a smile on hold.

"People get sick and they get laughed at" Nico said, pretending to be upset.

"Misone of yourselves" said Reana.

Nico grabs Reana's body, drowning the girl in his arms.

"From now on, I will take you wherever you go, never refuse, understand" Nico said firmly.

Reana nodded. Nico gently dyed the top of the girl's hair and tightened his embrace.
