My Beloved Uncle (Baskerville #1)

2. Gathering

Los Angeles

Heavy rain is pouring down on Los Angeles. A man sits on a couch in a famous bar in town. The sound of music sounds so sweet. The atmosphere of the bar looks lonely . Dumb lights adorned the bar. The man looked at the red liquid in his hand.The gaze was very dark as dark as velvet . Slowly he sipped the drink. The brandy he drank was the most expensive brandy he ordered, but the drink did not also relieve his anxiety. Not long after that her date arrived . The man told the girl to sit next to him, then embrace his shoulder.

''You are so long, dear, '' he said in a soft, seductive hoarse voice. Her date whom she had just dated two weeks ago was a beautiful and beautiful woman. Her skin was very smooth and her body was very fragrant moreover the woman had a very sexy body. The man smiled at the thought of taking her to the hotel for the night. The woman stroked the man's face, then smiled sweetly.''Sorry there was a little traffic jam on the road. You're not angry, are you, baby?''

''No. ''No. I'm not mad. I just got bored here waiting for you."

The man then kissed her passionately, and was reciprocated by her date. ''You are so beautiful tonight. I want you to accompany me tonight."

The woman smiled.

They both finally got out of the bar towards the hotel . In the hotel room the man sat down. ''What is Fabian? You're not like you used to be tonight?''

''There is nothing . I'm just tired. Lately my work in the office is very much."

''Are you sure it's okay?''ask the woman to make sure. There was a little anxiety in his eyes.

''I'm sure. Don't worry! I'm going to the bathroom first."

The smiling woman is enjoying her good fortune by dating a handsome businessman who is much sought after by women, but unfortunately there is no woman who can melt her heart after the death of his wife. From then on Fabian never opened his heart to other women and nowadays the reporters are always hunting him to know his private life is full of gossip.

The woman's hand rubbed Fabian's chest and whispered on her lips. ''I'll make you forget everything tonight." The woman then kissed him. After her hot romance with her date, Fabian decides to go home first.

The cold night wind blew on him. His eyes looked dark and his face looked as grim as his current mood. All this time he always felt uncomfortable about the life he lived. Fabian was dissatisfied with his life now. For him his life felt boring even though he had everything in his life. Money, power and women. He could easily get something he wanted, but in the corner of the chamber his heart felt empty and hollow. There was no warmth surrounding his soul.

Fabian got in his car. During the trip he kept thinking about his life that felt boring. His life was only black and white with no color at all. The day was already near midnight, when he entered the urban center which still looked very crowded. He saw a crowded bar and he parked his car on the side of the road, then entered the bar. After satisfied drinking, he decided to go home by taxi, because he could not drive when he had a lot of alcoholic beverages.

He walked a few meters from the bar to get a taxi for him and at that moment he saw some men who were harassing a girl on a very quiet street. The girl looked very frightened and tried to snatch her bag, even one of them hit her hard until the woman fell down. His humanity prompts Fabian to help the girl even though he hates women, but he doesn't like someone hurting women.

Without any hesitation, Fabian beat the four young men blindly and mercilessly. The girl looked with frightened eyes and her face was wet with tears. The four youths had been battered and chose to run. Fabian turned around and saw the girl sitting up against the wall hugging her knees.

His body trembled and the woman's appearance looked messy. ''You're okay?'' Fabian asked and tried to touch the girl's trembling shoulder, but her hand was immediately pushed aside by him who was still frightened.''Fear not! I'm not a bad person, '' she said as gently as possible not wanting to make him more afraid anymore.

The girl snarled. A pair of aquamarine-colored eyes looked at Fabian with a frightened look. Lips vibrate. ''Te.thank you." Fabian smiled soothingly and the girl was not afraid anymore. He knew now he was in the hands of a good man. His heart said that. Suddenly the girl fainted making Fabian panic.''Hey.hey..conscious!''

Fabian patted his face.''Shit!''

Quickly Fabian took the woman and soon he got a taxi.

Inside the Taxi Fabian continued to watch the woman who was in his lap. He removed the hair from his face that was soaked by tears. Petite and pretty girl. His long fingers traced every curve of the girl's face. His skin felt smooth in his hands which felt cold. Fabian's straight lips formed a smile.

The girl woke up the next morning. He was surprised to see a man watching him. His eyes widened.''Si..who are you?''

''Do you not remember me?''

The girl thought for a moment and realized that she was not at the hotel where she was staying. ''Now I remember. You're the one who helped me last night. Where am I?"

''In my apartment. You suddenly passed out in front of me and I didn't know where you lived, so I brought you here. Thank goodness you're okay. I was worried about you."

''So that's it." The girl then realized that she was no longer wearing her clothes. He wears oversized pajamas that have been confirmed that the pajamas he wears belong to the man in front of him.

His face was red and embarrassed. He then reflexively covered himself with a blanket. ''Where are my clothes? Why did you take off my clothes?'' The girl looks angry.

''Your clothes are so dirty, so I took them off."

''You see it?''

Fabian smiled and understood what he meant. ''Honestly yes. I saw everything."

''Based on the pervert and brash man, '' the girl shouted while hitting Fabian's chest, then the man caught her hand.

''I had to see it. This is not my will. I couldn't possibly not see it while changing your already very dirty clothes, but I didn't do anything to your body.''The girl looked relieved.

''Where are my clothes now?''

''There's on the table. It's clean."The girl followed the direction of the man's gaze towards the table.

''I want to change my clothes first." The girl got out of bed feeling both nervous and embarrassed and somehow her heart was racing as the man continued to stare at her following her every step towards the bathroom. ''I will prepare breakfast for you, Fabian said, as the girl was about to enter the bathroom.

Inside the bathroom the girl was able to breathe a sigh of relief. As if it was hard to breathe. The man was the most handsome and dazzling man he had ever seen with his blue eyes that made him feel cold hot.

While the girl was enjoying her morning breakfast, Fabian stood on the balcony of her apartment enjoying the cool air in the morning while gazing at the cityscape in the morning. The wind made her hair that had been combed neatly look back in disarray. He smiled inwardly there was a certain pleasure for the girl.

Her aquamarine-colored eyes looked so beautiful, her tiny mouth, her black hair and her tiny, slender body made the girl look very pretty and sweet in her eyes. The girl also looked innocent and innocent like most other women she knew. Fabian came back in and he was surprised to see the girl was already behind him.

''I'm done with breakfast. Thanks again for helping me. I'd like to excuse you to go home."

Fabian was silent just looking at her, making the girl again feel nervous. The look in the man's eyes was so warm and being able to caress his whole body made him feel uncomfortable, but on the other hand the girl liked him for reasons unknown to her. ''I'll take you home. Waita.'' Fabian came back quickly after dressing up neatly. While carrying his suitcase. ''Where do you live?''

''At the hotel."

''Hotel?" Fabian scrunched his forehead.

''I came here to see one of my father's sick relatives, so now I have to go back to New York. I'm going to college there, obviously the girl is on her way to the parking lot."

''This is a coincidence. We're both going to New York."

''Really. It's a coincidence. When did your plane leave?''

''Two and a half hours."

''Very dear. We can't go there together because my plane leaves in an hour and a half."

Fabian smiled. They stopped in front of the man's car. The two looked at each other. The girl's eyes were intense. He wanted to touch her and taste the sweetness of the girl's lips and embrace the softness of the girl's body that looks very fitting on her body.

Quickly dispose of his mind. ''Enter!'' The girl obeyed his orders, then got into the car. Upon arrival at the hotel the girl immediately tidied up all her belongings was aided by Fabian who insisted on driving her to the airport and the girl could not turn him down, because he himself needs the help of someone to clean up his things that are still messy in a hotel room.

The girl momentarily looked at Fabian who was busy helping to put the clothes in the suitcase. He did not know what to feel about the man in front of him. Does he feel lucky to have met her? He is his helper and the man has looked very good to him so far. ''It's done. All the clothes have gone into the suitcase, '' Fabian exclaimed.

''Thanks you. We're leaving now." At the airport Fabian said see you again to the girl. Before leaving the man suddenly hugged the girl and inhaled her scent, then his forehead was softly let out. ''I'm going first. Hye!'' Fabian stepped away and once again looked back. The girl still saw him and smiled at him. Fabian sucked his fingers into his hair .''I seem to like the girl, he muttered. Fabian flinched for a moment. He forgot to name the girl.''Shit!''

New York

A limousine car entered a large, magnificent and luxurious mansion. Castalia mansion is his name. Several servants had been in front of the house preparing to welcome the arrival of his master. A man came out of the limousine.''Welcome, Mr Fabian!'' greet the servants. Before entering, he looked at his mansion which looked very quiet as usual. ''Edgar, have you prepared a room for our guests?''

''Already sir. The room is ready?, Miss Adelina even helped?''

''Adelaide? Is he here?''

''True sir''.

''Where is he?''

''There's in the living room''. The man rushed straight to the family room. She smiled when she saw Adelina embroidery a blanket. ''Adelina,"he said with a happy face.

''Fabian." Adelina stood up and immediately kissed Fabian's cheek.''How is my dear brother?''ask Adelina. Fabian hugged Adelina his favorite little sister.''Good. I didn't know you were coming here. When did you come?''

''Yesterday afternoon .I intentionally didn't tell you. I want to surprise you. Greetings from mom and dad."

''Then say my regards to them." Fabian sat next to Adelina.''How's work?''

''Everything is smooth, even though there is a bit of a problem, but it doesn't matter to me."

''Surely my dear brother is already feeling tired after the service out of town."Fabian pinched Adelina's nose with anxiety.

''I was tired, but after seeing you my fatigue was gone."

''This brother." They both laughed. Adelina kept her embroidery and sat down facing Fabian. ''Mom and dad were happy when you finally allowed Miya to stay here. That way you won't be lonely anymore living alone in this mansion."

''Who said I live here alone? There are many servants."

''This brother."Adelina smelled a woman's perfume on Fabian's body when she was so close to him.''Must have been with a woman."

''Where do you know?''

''I smell a woman's perfume from your body. Is that woman Fabian's brother's girlfriend?''

''Not '', just acquaintances. I don't even know what his name is."

''Ah this sister until when big brother wants to often date the women. You better get married soon after the age of the sister is not young anymore." Fabian's facial expression looked sad.

''No, my sister, baby. My sister is not married anymore."

''Is big brother still thinking about his old wife?''

''Yes."

''Come on, brother Fabian! Forget Clarissa! He died four years ago."

''But her memories still lingered in my heart especially those extremely painful memories that you didn't want to remember at all."His eyes looked dimly filled with sadness. Just one look Adelina knew and could feel her sister's sadness . Her brother had long since kept the wound in the past and it seemed like the wound had still not healed.

Adelina looked at her brother, 30-year-old Fabian Aldrich Baskerville who is the owner of Castalia mansion and also a CEO of Baskerville industries engaged in multinational and International business . He was also the head of the entire family of the Baskerville family . He has a handsome aristocratic face and is almost in the gilai of all women. Any woman would be made to fall in love with him and bend her knees before him. Fabian's brother has become the number one target of high-class women to be made her husband. Although her brother often dated many women, but she was never serious about getting into a relationship to a more serious level. Adelina sighs. Since the death of his wife Clarissa Baskerville, his brother has closed his heart to another woman.

♪♪♪♪

In the afternoon Fabian and Adelina were preparing to welcome Miya. Adelina could not wait to see him soon. Both Adelina and Fabian, this was the first time they would meet him.''What kind of sister does Miya think? It must be similar to Sabrina."

''Could be, '' he answered no matter what. Adelina jumped to her feet as the sound of a car was glued to the front yard.''That must be Miya. Go Fabian! Don't put on a cold face like that . Smile!''Reluctantly Fabian stood up and met Miya in front of the mansion. Miya appeared in front of the door by putting on a sweet smiling face to Fabian and Adelina.''Hello!''greet Miya. Adelina directly hugged Miya.''Welcome to Miya!"

''You must be Aunt Adelina?''

''Really. It turns out you're a very pretty girl as I thought. Let's introduce this to my brother Fabian." For a moment Miya noticed the handsome and tall man before her and her eyes widened in shock and almost fainted upon seeing his uncle.

''You.'' said they simultaneously. Adelina looked at the two in surprise.

''So this is Uncle Fabian, he said in his heart. He never knew the name of his helper at that time . Shamed to admit it at that time he was so fascinated by his ability that he forgot to ask his name. He did not expect to be reunited with his helpers. Miya also saw a shocked expression on Fabian's face. Suddenly Fabian pulls Miya into his arms. Adelina was surprised. Miya was only speechless in Fabian's embrace, not daring to move in the slightest.''Welcome to the Castalia Mansion, My Miya."

''My Miya, ''the inner.''Strange uncle."Miya puffed her face and realized the sharp gaze her blue eyes were on him [].
