The prisoner of Mr. Xie

Part 31 - Emma Scott

"Akh......."

Davira grimaced as the pain point she felt in her ankle continued to be massaged by Berta.

"Then this mansion was left empty? Or is there another family that occupies?" davira asked, he was just curious. Somehow he wanted to know a lot about Nathan and Nathan's past before meeting him.

Berta did not immediately reply, he was silent for a while, as well as the movements of his hands.

"Mr Aaron used to live here alone for college," Berta replied making Davira frown.

"Who is Aaron?" Davira is not too pragmatic genealogy Xie family which is certainly very much.

"Cousin Mr. Aaron, but now he's settled in Indonesia."

Davira rounded his mouth a little sign of understanding. Suddenly something sprang up in his mind, he became very curious and had to ask Berta.

"Did Nathan ever have a lover?" asked Davira with eyes that kept looking at Berta's facial features.

"Never, Miss," Berta began to stand up from his seat.

"Miss's legs just sprained and I've massaged, try to move," said the waiter made Davira immediately get out of bed and walk slowly.

"You're right, my legs don't hurt anymore."

Berta smiled thinly then bowed slightly to his body.

"I'm sorry, Miss."

"Wait a minute," prevent Davira still having questions for Berta.

"I can't believe Nathan never had a girlfriend" Davira crossed her chest.

"But I'm not lying, miss. Either I do not know for sure, or Mr. Nathan who really never had a lover. After all Master lived here only until the age of fifteen, it was only natural that he did not have a lover. I don't know how Mr.'s life in Indonesia, which is clear......You never brought a woman here other than Miss Scott."

"Who is Miss Scott?" asked Davira with squeaking eyes.

Berta cleared his throat briefly then stepped his feet to get closer to Davira. Berta knew that he was not allowed to talk much with Davira, but saw Davira who came with the status of a prisoner from Nathan. He feels he has to tell a little bit about Nathan's life, Berta just doesn't want Davira to be too surprised later. Seeing the relationship between the two who are like lovers, Berta wants Davira to understand Nathan's position later.

"He was Mr. Nathan's best friend from childhood, his full name was Emma Scott. Miss Emma will always come here if Mr. Nathan comes."

"Emma? I'm sure the relationship isn't just a casual friendship, is it?"

"It looks like Miss should know something, Miss Emma is-"

"You done massaging Davira's legs, Berta?" barton's voice rang out making Berta immediately turn around and display his faint smile.

The waiter looked so calm, he lowered his head slightly to Nathan.

"Already, Sir. Miss Davira's legs are no longer sore," replied Berta along with the two maids who came out of the walk in closet after finishing tidying up Davira's belongings.

"You can go" Nathan said, making Berta and the other two servants leave Davira's room.

Nathan immediately closed the room door making Davira look at him sharply. In addition to still being angry with Nathan, he is also upset that Nathan interrupted his conversation with Berta. Now Davira is so curious that it feels like she wants to die.

"Who is Emma?" her inner being wondered, for some reason she was curious and wanted to see the face of a woman named Emma.

"I don't think people like Nathan will have a woman's friend, I'm sure their relationship isn't just a friend" Davira said, taking off her plain coat.

"What are you doing here?" ask Davira with a sharp tone.

"What do you think? Of course seeing your situation," Nathan replied then crouched down in front of Davira making the woman aghast in shock.

"What do you want?" Davira was confused because Nathan was holding his sprained leg.

"Checking if Berta was doing his job properly," Nathan stood up again and put his foot toward the window.

Nathan opened the curtains on the window so that sunlight could enter and Davira's room more visible bright without having to turn on the lights because now it is still at 2 pm.

"You've checked my situation, so you better get out now. I want to rest" Davira then threw her body over the bed.

"Davira, we need to talk," Nathan stood in front of the window with his back to Davira.

"About what?" davira asked as she looked at the ceiling of her room.

"About you," Nathan let out a long sigh.

"Are you really that trusting of Damian?"

Davira suddenly got up and changed his position to sit down.

"Nathan, I'm tired and I don't want to argue. I don't think your question needs me to answer."

"Need, Davira. You have to answer my question so I know what steps to take next, you can simply say whether you trust Damian so much or if there's still a little doubt?"

Davira was stunned for a moment in his place, he looked at Nathan's back with a sense of confusion approaching him.

"Why are you asking something like this? Of course I really trust Damian, he's my future husband. We were together for a long time, and Damian and I knew each other, and so did our families" Davira replied in the end.

Hearing Davira's reply made the corner of Nathan's lips slightly pulled to the side, Nathan turned around to make the two now collide with each other.

"You still hold a grudge against me?"

Davira squeezes the bed linen beneath her, she is still vengeful and even plans something to avenge her. But should he say that to Nathan? But he also couldn't possibly answer that he had forgiven Nathan, right? It makes no sense and the lie will become more obvious.

"Of course, Nathan. Every time I remember how you ruined my marriage, it feels like I want to kill you. And every time I remember the faces of my father and mother, I want to kill you, too."

Nathan stared at Davira's bead-like eyes.

"How do you know that the ones who attacked your family back then were Xie's family's men?"

Davira was stunned for a moment he looked at Nathan with a gaze that could not be interpreted. Davira is angry, upset, and there is a desire to kill Nathan right now. But one feeling also he felt simultaneously, and Davira did not know how to overcome it. I don't know why the feeling he felt made his heart feel so sore and his mind became unreasonable.

"You still don't want to admit that those people are indeed Xie's family's messengers?"

"I asked, Davira. Just answer my question" Nathan said in a voice that sounded so cold.

"Tatto, your people always wear tattoos around the neck. Form X and dragon, I killed two people who had tattoos like that. And the tattoo is very strong evidence, you can no longer dodge Nathan," Davira's eyes look red, it feels like she wants to cry when she recalls that dark night.

After staring at Davira for a few seconds, Nathan immediately stepped out of the woman's room. Leaving the confused Davira alone in there.

"Why is Nathan acting so strange? And why does he still seem to deny that it was Xie's family that committed the massacre to my family? Nathan slaughtered the entire Lee family as well as Damian blatantly in front of my eyes. But Nathan's still in denial about what happened that night?"

Davira leaned his head and closed his eyes.

"Is it possible that Nathan didn't know anything about the massacre? Did Xie's family move without telling Nathan? From the beginning Nathan looked confused."

After resting for a while and cleaning her body, Davira sat down in front of the dressing table and looked at her face for quite a while. His mind drifted about thinking about the things that made his head ache, for some reason he became hesitant to blame Nathan for the death of his family. But he also hesitates to trust the man, Davira fears that Nathan is currently only trying to cheat and play him.

Davira shook her head slowly, she should not feel this doubt. Nathan and his family are the main culprits, Davira tries to implant that thought in his brain. Davira took a deep breath before deciding to replace the towel wrapped around her body with the clothes she had just bought.

Davira began to put a little makeup on her pretty face and styled her hair.

"I have to focus and hold back, I've sworn to avenge Papa and Mama. Nathan can't weaken me like this" Davira muttered then stood up from her seat and immediately walked out of the room.

His feet stepped down the hallway where his room was, he glanced at the door he believed was Nathan's room. He immediately went down the twisting steps of the stairs and would take him downstairs.

But his steps stopped when he was in the middle of the stairs, his eyes saw a woman was now hugging Nathan's body tightly down there. And Nathan is seen letting her go even if she doesn't return the woman's embrace.

Davira chooses to remain silent in place until the woman releases her arms from Nathan, now her face is clearly visible. A very beautiful and typical European face, his eyes on Nathan look so adoring makes Davira smile on her side.

"Nathan liked a lot of women apparently," his inner being who for some reason really wanted to grab the woman's hair.

"You haven't been here for a long time, I miss you, Nathan. You didn't pick up my phone or reply to my message" the woman's voice sounded so soft.

The two of them are now seen sitting in the living room with a position attached, more precisely the woman continues to buy Nathan makes Davira feel furious to see him.

"You know I'm very busy, Emma. Anyway, I come here every year, I don't think it's a long time" Nathan said, making Emma's face look unacceptable.

Emma cleared her throat briefly, "Is the news I heard true, Nathan?"

"Which news? There's a lot of news about me."

Emma's clucking pissed, Nathan's always been like that. And Nathan hasn't changed at all, so cold and expressionless, even when he's paying attention. Emma doesn't understand why she's been friends for so long and falls in love with a man like Nathan, even though she's crazy about that cruel and heartless man.

"About the woman you ruined her marriage to. Davira Handoko, why did you do that to him? And where is he now? I'm angry with you, Nathan. You never told me a single word about her, who is she?"

Nathan seemed to be silent and did not answer.

"Nathan, just answer my question. Davira is the woman you love?" ask Emma with a wounded heart.

Emma's feelings are shattered as well as her expectations as news of what Nathan has done to a woman named Davira is heard. Now he felt his sacrifice was in vain, yet he would not allow it to happen. No one deserves to be with Nathan better than him. Emma is convinced that in Nathan's eyes, Davira is no more valuable than he who has been friends with her for a long time and has sacrificed many things.

"I brought her here, to be safe from my family and I wanted to introduce her to you, too" Nathan said, making Emma's face slapped.

But Emma kept trying to smile so that Nathan would not feel suspicious, he never wanted Nathan to know his true feelings until Nathan had the same feelings for him.

"really? I saw some pictures of him on social media and I also know his family is very famous in Indonesia and in Spain, now I can't wait to see him immediately."

"Huh? He's been finding out about me apparently. You stalker! It turned out that I was this famous in Nathan's family environment as well as in his friendship environment," inner Davira cheered happily.

Somehow he feels satisfied and impatiently called by Nathan to get acquainted with Emma. Looking at Emma's pretty innocent face made her impatient to make that face red as it held back jealousy.

"I'll call him, wait here."

Nathan immediately stood up and stepped on his feet, but seeing Davira who had gone down the stairs made him speechless in place. The woman looked extremely dazzling in her eyes, not to mention that the perfume worn by Davira was completely intoxicating to her

"Where do you want to go?" nathan's question made Davira smile and immediately grabbed the man's burly arm.

"Of course, seeing your friends, you want to introduce us both, don't you?"

"You eavesdropping?"

Davira shook her head with a smile that instantly disappeared from her face, now she started to stare at Nathan flat.

"I was just listening," Davira replied making Nathan could only sigh deeply.

Not knowing what Davira will do, Nathan is quite worried because it seems Davira deliberately holds his arm.

Emma's face looks so surprised to see the arrival of Davira who is swaying in Nathan's arm. Emma is confused because she does not think that Davira will be that close to Nathan who has ruined her marriage. In addition, Emma is also surprised because in fact Davira is much prettier than what she saw in the photo, Davira looks physically perfect to make her feel worried.

Davira puts a sweet smile on her face then takes her arm off Nathan, she changes her mind and wants to look elegant and not cheap in Emma's eyes.

Davira wants to show that he is different from Emma, without having to take Nathan for granted, he has made the man captivated and wants to continue to be around him. Davira puts his butt on the sofa, giving Nathan a little distance.

And sure enough, the man instantly shifted his body and clasped his hands. It did not go unnoticed by Emma.

"You want to meet me?" davira asked Emma to make an awkward nod and immediately reached out her hand first.

Davira greeted him with a smile on his face.

"Davira, you already know that, don't you?"

"Emma," the woman glanced at the necklace that was on Davira's neck, X and D. A necklace that looks so beautiful.

"You're Nathan's friend?" davira's asking made Emma chuckle.

"I'm her best friend" Emma replied as if so proud of her status.

Davira rounded his mouth slightly, "You guys are stuck freindzone apparently," he sneered.

Emma only smiles at him, she glances at Nathan who seems to prefer to remain silent.

"And you? What's your relationship with Nathan? You guys live together."

"Emma," rebuked Nathan, fearing that Davira would be as angry as when Amara insulted him at that time.

Davira chuckles a little, Emma's question seems to deliberately want to demean her. But just for a moment, the smiles and laughter now disappeared, replaced by the flat face of Davira.

"I am his prisoner."
