The prisoner of Mr. Xie

Part 32 - Davira's Curious Taste

Davira was a little shocked when she saw Nathan sleeping next to her with his hands perched on his stomach. The man was not there last night, but when Davira opened her eyes on this cold morning, Nathan was on the bed with him.

The man entered the room at will and hugged her as he pleased.

Davira chose to stay in his place, he felt he had no energy to argue or fight in the morning like this. It's also free to throw Nathan out, the man won't listen and will still hug him. Davira looked at Nathan's face fixedly, involuntarily moving his hand rubbing the man's firm jaw.

"I feel like you know something about Damian, but what? You really managed to make me feel confused, Nathan," his inner self with eyes that could not escape the man's face.

Davira saw the calmness when he saw Nathan's face that was sleeping like today. The corner of her lips was slightly interested, she smiled faintly when recalling how Emma had looked yesterday. Davira is satisfied to make Emma unable to dwell and chooses to leave after she shows how crazy Nathan is willing to do anything to get it.

He even gives Nathan a hard insinuation and it makes Emma feel uncomfortable.

Drrtts.

Drrtts.

Suddenly the sound of a cell phone ringing makes Davira looking for his whereabouts, he knows that it is impossible if the ringing is his phone. Who will call him? Davira looked at Nathan's phone next to the man's pillow. Davira immediately grabbed it and stared at the name of the screen on the phone.

'Emma'

Davira glanced at Nathan who appeared to be sleeping. Without a second thought, he immediately shifted the green button for the call to connect.

"Good morning, Nathan."

Emma's soft voice now sounded.

"Good morning, Emma," Davira said deliberately to make Nathan's best friend feel upset and surprised.

Silence, there was no sound of Emma for a while. Davira cheered happily in her heart, she knew Emma must be in shock at the moment.

"Sorry, why are you quiet? Anything to tell Nathan?

"Where is Nathan? Why did you pick up my phone?"

Emma's tone sounded instantly changed to be more slender than before.

"He was sleeping, I didn't dare wake him. But do you want to talk about something important? I'll try to wake her up if you want," Davira bargained as a pleasantries.

"No need, she must still be sleepy to the point that she hasn't woken up at this hour. Though Nathan always wakes up early, it's out of his habit."

"Currently," Davira screeched inwardly, she knew what Emma meant to say.

Of course to show Davira that he was the one who knew Nathan the most and knew the man's habits.

"You think I'm gonna be jealous? I don't even care! I just feel good bothering you," inner Davira grumbled.

"Yes, you're right. Nathan is still very sleepy and must have been exhausted from last night. I was overwhelmed" said Davira, holding back her laughter.

Her phone connection is cut off, Davira is convinced that Emma can't stand to hear it. Emma must have been jealous and had some thoughts about her relationship with Nathan. Let it go, Davira doesn't care. Davira couldn't stand to see women like Laura or Emma.

The two of them are the same, taking advantage of the closeness with Nathan and getting involved in feelings when Nathan does not see them as a woman at all. Davira can see from Nathan's gaze to Emma, very flat even though it seems that Nathan has a great sense of caring for the woman.

"What did we do last night, Davira?" nathan's voice made Davira look at him.

"So you're awake?" davira asked worriedly because Nathan heard all of his words.

"I woke up when my phone rang, but it turned out that my captive was curious and picked it up. So what did we do last night until I was so exhausted?"

Davira swallowed his saliva with difficulty, he tried to get out of bed. Nathan pulled him closer.

"Nathan, let go" Davira gasped as Nathan now overstretched his body with his face facing each other.

Davira looked at her without blinking a bit, Nathan smiled faintly at the innocent face of Davira that looked so beautiful.

"Willfully want to upset Emma hmm?" Nathan tidied up Davira's hairline that was blocking his face.

"I'm just kidding," Davira replied, beginning to feel uneasy, her heart now beating faster than usual.

"So bad," Nathan pinched his nose.

Seeing Nathan who wants to bring his face closer makes Davira immediately floated his bogeman right in the jaw of the man.

Bugh.

"Akhc!"

Not Nathan, but Davira who was complaining in pain felt the back of his hand hit the hard of Nathan's jaw. Davira looked at the man sharply and pushed Nathan's body away from him.

Nathan chuckles a little then picks up his phone lying next to Davira.

"Where to go?" nathan asked, blocking Davira's hand which seemed to be moving from her bed.

"Where else? I want to take a shower! Go back to your room!" evicted Davira then pulled his hand from Nathan's check, he immediately ran quickly towards the bathroom and went in there.

Nathan shook his head and called Emma out of curiosity as to what she wanted so early in the morning like this called him.

"It's...Are you Nathan?"

"Yes, it's me. What's the matter Emma?" nathan's question made Emma sigh in relief across the street.

"I think Davira again, you just woke up?"

"Don't think anything, Davira was just kidding. She's not that kind of woman" Nathan said he didn't want Emma to be too psyched and thought she was taking Davira as a prisoner to sleep with.

"I'm glad to hear that, are you busy?"

"Later in the afternoon I will meet with my client, but this morning I have no activities" Nathan replied as he glanced at the bathroom door.

"Can you accompany me? Not until the afternoon, usually an hour is also completed. As usual."

"Alright, just wait in your mansion. I'll be there in an hour" Nathan gets out of bed.

"Thank you, Nathan."

Nathan cut off his phone and knocked on the bathroom door.

"What's wrong? Don't try to get in!" shouts Davira in there.

Nathan frowned then turned the locked door knoll.

"The bathroom you lock, how do I get in?"

Davira blinked his eyes several times inside, he was already panicking because he had forgotten that he had locked the bathroom door so there was nothing for him to be afraid of, Nathan won't be able to just walk in like that.

"Then?!"

"I'll be out for a minute, don't go anywhere. Paul will be here to watch over you."

"Whatever, if you can't come back!" sahut Davira made Nathan chuckle and immediately came out of the woman's room.

π_π

Davira puts on a casual face and tries to ignore Paul who keeps following him, it seems that Nathan was worried if the incident of that time repeated itself to not let Davira alone the slightest item while he was not in the mansion.

Some servants immediately welcomed his arrival and pulled out a chair for him, but Davira casually passed by and pulled out the last seat. The servants could only stare at each other, the chair Davira occupied was Nathan's chair. Wanted to rebuke him, but the servants certainly did not have the courage.

"Leave it, Miss Handoko is free to sit anywhere and do anything. The most important thing is not to harm himself or anyone else" said Paul made the servants understand and immediately left the dining room.

Now only Paul and Davira left who began eating his lunch, occasionally he glanced at Paul who was standing next to him with a face that always looks flat and stiff.

Davira cleared his throat briefly, "Sit down, I want to talk."

Paul immediately complied and sat in one of the chairs which was quite far from Davira.

"Where is Nathan now? He's been gone since this morning" Davira said before getting to the point.

"Master is having business, Miss," replied Paul soberly.

Davira clucked in annoyance, "I asked where? Not what he's doing, answer my question."

"Nathan went to see Emma?" guess Davira saw Paul who was still silent.

"Is that all you want Miss to ask?"

"So you don't want to answer my question?" Davira raised one eyebrow.

"Sorry, Miss. But you can ask Mr. Nathan right away when he's back," Paul said, making Davira grip the fork firmly in his hand.

"All right, it doesn't matter. Now I want to ask you one more thing, and this is about Damian."

Davira looked at Paul fixedly, the look on the man's face seemed to change instantly from before.

"What do you guys really know about Damian? Why is Nathan constantly saying that Damian isn't as good as I thought he was? I know Damian's not a good person, we're not all good people. Doing dirty business, killing, blackmailing, and many other crimes we commit. So what does 'not good' mean that Nathan told me? What don't I know about Damian and you know about him?"

Paul was stunned for a moment with both hands clinging to each other on the table.

"So Miss has started to doubt Mr Lee? Has Miss's trust started to waver?"

Davira opened his eyes several times hearing Paul's question.

"I'm just curious, but I don't think it matters much. After all you didn't answer my question correctly, which means everything Nathan said about Damian was just a lie to make me suspect my dead boyfriend."

"Is that what Miss is thinking?"

"Yes, so. Want how else? Nathan's crimes are more real" Davira replied, making Paul immediately stand up from his seat.

"Take Miss's meal before it gets cold" Paul steps out leaving Davira alone in the dining room.

As Paul walked up to the terrace, he reached into his cell phone and called Nathan to ask where he was. But not getting an answer made Paul put the flat object back in his pocket.

Nathan is now in a shopping mall with Emma after she finishes accompanying him to meet Richard as they used to do.

"You're not eating?" emma asked to see Nathan, who was busy with his phone.

Nathan shook his head softly, "Eat, then I'll take you home. There's nothing else you want to buy, right?" I asked without looking at Emma's face.

"You're so busy? Didn't you meet the client in the afternoon?"

"I couldn't leave Davira alone for too long, the last time I left her. He made me lose almost thirty bodyguards" Nathan replied, to Emma's surprise.

"How could he do that? He's trying to escape you?" Emma can't imagine how Davira killed nearly 30 of Nathan's bodyguards.

"As Davira said, he's my prisoner. It's only natural that he intends to escape," Nathan frowned at the sight of one missed call from Paul. Usually Paul always tells him important things if he calls when he is not with him as he is now.

"But I don't think Davira minded the way things are right now, she even seems familiar to you. Is he used to it?" emma asked with a sweet smile on her face.

The actual smile he used to cover his wounds, in fact his closeness and struggle meant nothing in Nathan's eyes. The man will always think of him as a friend.

"Perhaps, but I think he's up to something" Nathan chuckled.

"You're not afraid of him getting revenge? Because I heard you murdered the entire family of her future husband on their wedding day."

"What you hear is true, and I'm not afraid. I'm going to make Davira undo her revengeful intentions" Nathan said, standing up from his seat.

Emma squeezed the coffee slowly which was still puffing smoke.

"Nathan, there is one more thing that makes me feel very curious and to date I still have not got a definite answer. I have to ask you directly because I will believe more in the facts that come out of your mouth."

"What do you want to know, Emma?" nathan asked, staring at the woman's face.

"I heard that the Handoko family was massacred in one night, and until now it is not known who did it. I heard a rumor that said that...... Xie's family has done it, are you involved? And does Davira know about it?"

Nathan was stunned for a moment and then moved from his seat.

"Wait here and don't go anywhere, I want to call Paul," Nathan immediately stepped away without answering Emma's question first.

No need to wait a long time, Paul's voice has now been heard through his cellphone.

"Say," he commanded.

"Miss Davira asked where Mr is."

"Then you said I went with Emma?" nathan asked and lit a cigarette between his lips and his lighter.

"No sir."

"There again?" Nathan was breathing his cigarette smoke slowly.

"Miss asked about Mr. Lee, she seemed to be curious about what you knew."

Nathan was silent for a moment, he was quite surprised to hear that.

"I didn't say anything to Miss Davira, sir."

"Good, keep an eye on him."

"Master, sorry if I was presumptuous. But should you tell the truth? Before it's too late."

"Not now, Paul. Not yet, because if it were now, then it would only be anger and rage that I got. And when the time came, I hope he understood," Nathan immediately disconnected and then turned around, aghast at the shock that Emma was in front of his eyes.

"I'm done eating, I want to rest. You're gonna take me, aren't you?"

"Of course, I picked you up. I also have to say hello to your father, is he in the mansion?" nathan asked Emma to smile.

"So, you want to stop by?" Emma seemed to be excited.

Emma tried to dismiss her curiosity, she no longer had the intention to ask because she already knew that Nathan would not answer her. It's free if he keeps asking the same thing, only Nathan's anger or Nathan's silence will he get.

"I haven't seen Mr. Scott in a long time" Nathan stared at some of the paper bags Emma was carrying, but he didn't intend to take over. After all he knew the contents of the paper bag were just some sheets of clothing that were not heavy at all.

Nathan no longer wants to pay any more attention to Emma, now he's an adult and he already knows what the boundaries of friendship are. Nathan can already tell the difference, as to what he should treat his best friend. And what kind of thing he should treat the woman who has his heart.

Nathan's not 15 or 18 anymore, he's different. And so is their friendship.
