The prisoner of Mr. Xie

Part 40 - Gayatri Order

Nathan glanced at the bodyguards guarding the door of the apartment occupied by the grandmother. Nathan had not been able to press his bell, the door was already wide open, revealing a female bodyguard who always accompanied Gayatri.

"Please come in, sir. Lady Gayatri was already waiting," Elena walked away from the door and lowered her head.

Nathan was silent then stepped into the room so spacious and luxurious. His steps stopped when his eyes had seen the whereabouts of Gayatri, his grandmother was seen sitting on the sofa while staring at some photos in his hands.

"Grandma," call Nathan to make Gayatri raise her head.

"Grandma thought you weren't coming" Gayatri put the pictures on the table, allowing Nathan to see them.

Those are the photos of her togetherness with Davira while in the mall and also on the beach, Gayatri has really been following her. Nathan knows that his attempts to go to Rome to hide Davira will end in vain.

"Sit down, why stand up?"

"Will it be long?" nathan asked, making Gayatri's once friendly face turn cold.

"Stand up, then," Gayatri tapped her index tip on the edge of the sofa.

"I'll sit down" Nathan pulled out a chair and sat opposite Gayatri, leaving the two now separated by a single glass table.

Nathan looked at the photos on the table and took them.

"Davira looks so pretty," complimented Nathan.

Gayatri's lips twitched slightly to hear him, Nathan was indeed so brave and acted as he pleased.

"Kill the woman" Gayatri said directly to the core of her wish.

"Which woman? Did Laura? Name one, there's a lot of disgusting women I could've killed," Nathan looked down at his grandmother flat.

"Your mistress, the woman in the pictures. Finish him off if you still care about this family" Gayatri's voice sounded so resolute and urgent.

"I've always cared about this family, the proof is that I still want to take care of the business and make it more advanced. Killing Davira won't benefit this family, why did my grandmother and father and mother become like this? Get involved in personal matters that I can decide for myself."

"The Xie family has its own rules, Nathan. You can't move as you please, there's too many rules you've broken. And Davira? That woman shouldn't be your partner, she's the son of Gaffar Handoko. You know who he is? Our enemy! Gaffar even tried to destroy our business!" gayatri's voice began to rise.

"We do the same thing, even worse!" nathan's jolt stunned Gayatri and glared at her.

"I won't kill Davira, no matter what happens, Davira will always be with me and be mine. If it was because the Xie family had rules, then I would have deleted Xie's name from behind me" Nathan said, sounding so serious.

Gayatri looked at him in disbelief, "You don't go crazy just because of one woman Nathan! There are many like Davira, even more!"

"Nothing, don't say that because there's nothing more than Davira in my eyes. I'm crazy not because of Davira, but because of you. Did grandma never realize that I was crazy because of this family? The Xie family members no one is really sane."

Gayatri clenched her hands tightly with reddened eyes holding back the anger, there was never a family member who dared to go against her, only Nathan and always the man.

"You're gonna lose Davira soon, Nathan. Grandma didn't mess around," Gayatri threatened to make Nathan's jaw harden.

"Then cooperate with your father and mother, they have carried out a crazy plan. It seems like grandma doesn't know yet, they told one of the Xie family's men to tell Dante about my whereabouts. And grandma knows what's going on? Of course Davira was kidnapped by her, but what happened to Dante after that, grandma?"

Gayatri was stunned in her place, she remembered the wind she had heard. Regarding the disappearance of Dante which is quite shocking among the bottom and certainly makes the Dante family so busy to find his whereabouts.

Nathan smiled slantingly, "Free grandmother comes to Rome, is that the only threat that grandmother will give? I thought grandma would threaten to remove me from the inheritance list for something like that, I was wrong."

Nathan immediately stood up and took all the photos that were on the table. Nathan looked at Gayatri's face, who was obviously very angry with him, but he was very sure that Gayatri would never threaten him with property or business matters. Because Gayatri wouldn't take any chances if Nathan left the business and Xie's family. They will lose many clients and the powerful image built by Nathan after his grandfather's death.

Even Julian wasn't as influential as Nathan in the underworld.

"Your eyes are completely blind, are you sure that Davira won't stab you when you're off guard? Are you sure a woman like her will just shut up after everything that happens? Davira will take revenge on you, Nathan. You'll regret having kept him."

"One prick won't be a problem" Nathan said, stepping away.

After a few steps, he stopped and turned around.

"The photo shoot is very good, I'll take it for an additional collection."

"July one meeting, don't forget Nathan. You have to come, our whole family's gathered for the night. At this meeting will be held in Rome," said Gayatri with still restraining emotions that have been in the crown.

"I will definitely come to that boring event, after all I must come, right? It's always required every year."

"There's going to be Emma there."

Nathan frowned, "He's not a family member."

"But Grandma invited him," Gayatri said, making Nathan smile.

"I just found out that at the one July meeting it turned out to be able to invite others freely," Nathan immediately stepped out of Gayatri's apartment unit.

Gayatri exhaled rough breaths then reached into her phone with her hand that looked already so wrinkled.

"Davira will be alone inside Nathan's mansion on July one, kill him on the spot."

Davira sat leaning back with her legs crossed and displayed a cold look in her eyes. One of the waiters was seen coming with a tray and then putting drinks and some cookies on the table and leaving.

"Where is Nathan? You didn't answer my question from now on," asked Emma, who had begun to sit in the living room together with Davira, who was staring at her with intimidation.

"He'll be right back, wait," the same answer again came out of Davira's mouth.

Emma took a deep breath and then stood up from her seat.

"Where to go?"

"I want to go to the kitchen and cook food for Nathan," Emma steps her foot toward the kitchen making Davira rush to follow him.

"No need, you don't see what time it is? It's 2 o'clock in the afternoon, why else cook? Nathan had even eaten with me" Davira said, but did not make Emma stop her steps.

"Then I'll make her a cake."

Davira sneered softly, "You want to make Nathan fat?"

"Can you shut up?" Emma looked at Davira with a gaze so cynical that Davira was so surprised to see her.

Davira smiled obliquely, now that Emma's true nature began to be shown to her slowly. It was thought that Emma had feelings for Nathan, and Emma must have disliked her existence. Emma's just being hypocritical, Davira should always be on the lookout.

"I can't keep quiet, but I think I should leave you so you can focus on making the cake" Davira nodded her head.

"Why are you acting like the owner of this mansion, Emma? What makes you use the kitchen here without prior permission from the owner?"

"No need for permission, I even have my own room in this mansion," Emma replied and then displayed her sweet smile.

"Have your own room?" again Davira just found out, but he did not want to look so surprised.

"It's so unfair, you have your own room and I have to share a room with Nathan. Though I'm sure there are many rooms in this mansion," Davira clucked in annoyance, but with a heart that cheered happily at the look on Emma's face.

Davira immediately stepped out of the kitchen, the woman stared at the heavily guarded main door. Tighter than ever, probably because Nathan was worried that the events of that time would repeat themselves.

"Miss can't get out" prevented one of the bodyguards when Davira was just on the doorstep.

"I'm not going to run away, I just want to wait for Nathan in the front garden" Davira pointed to the garden in the mansion grounds.

"You can keep me company, you can even watch me from here" Davira said, then walked to the park, which looked quite beautiful in her eyes.

There was an artificial pond and fountain there, some lights were also installed, he was sure that at night it would look more beautiful. Unfortunately, he was always in the room when night fell.

"Why are there no flowers?" his murmur was completely clueless, a garden without flowers was not a garden to him.

Davira sat while staring at the fountain that occasionally splashed water on his face. Feeling bored, Davira reached into his phone and started playing games there.

"Damn," he said so focused on playing that he did not realize the presence of Nathan who was standing before him.

"Why play here?" nathan asked Davira to raise his head.

"Just now, I saw Emma's car. You're not in with him?"

"He's cooking in the kitchen, I've banned you because you've eaten. But he said that would make a cake."

"Want in or here?"

"Within, Emma must be waiting for you. She could cry," Davira chuckled at Emma's crying face.

Nathan shook his head and grabbed Davira's hand for him to hold, the two of them immediately walked into the mansion.

"Did Emma really have a room in this mansion?" ask Davira just to make sure.

"Yes, but he hasn't lived for a long time. That's a special room if he's staying."

Davira rounded his mouth a little, there was a feeling of dislike when he heard that.

"You sleep with him often?"

"Of course not, Davira. I slept in my room" Nathan replied so quickly.

"I can't believe it" Davira said, causing Nathan to panic.

"Don't be like that, I really never slept with her. Why do you think that?"

Davira laughs at Nathan's face that looks so panicked.

"Why should Nathan panic? I believe I'm not angry either. I know that I'm the only one special, am I right?"

Nathan smiled faintly at her then rubbed Davira's head affectionately.

"You're right, Davira. I can sleep faster just when I'm hugging you."

The two of them entered the kitchen hand in hand making Emma only able to hold back her jealousy and display her smile to Nathan.

"You've come back, where have you been Nathan?"

"Take care of business" Nathan answered lying, and Davira found out.

"You must be very tired, but... Can you wait until my cake is finished? After trying it you can take a break."

"Of course I'll wait" Nathan said, making Emma smile.

Nathan pulled out a chair for Davira to sit in.

"Have been here long?" nathan asked as a pleasantry.

"Eumm."

"What the hell are you doing?" ask Davira to be curious.

"Cannoli," Emma replied briefly, but still sounded friendly.

"I like tiramisu stuffing" Davira said, making Emma roll her eyes lazy.

"I'm not making a cake for you" Emma's inner self was upset.

"But Nathan loves ricotta cheese."

"really?" davira asked, looking at Nathan, he did not know much about the man.

"Yes, Davira," Nathan replied as he rubbed the woman's cheek gently.

"I've also made it all filled with ricotta cheese."

"Alright then, no problem," Davira smiled faintly.

After a long time, Emma finally finished making Cannoli. She immediately placed it on the table with a fluffy smile on her pretty face.

"Eat Nathan," told Emma to make Nathan eat the cake immediately, not to forget Nathan also fed Davira who did look so spoiled. But seeing Davira's expression that didn't seem to like ricotta cheese made Nathan stop feeding the woman and hurriedly finish the cake together with Emma.

"Is it that good?" emma asked feeling happy because Nathan finished his cake.

"Always good, Emma. Thank you." Thank you."

Suddenly the ringing of Emma's phone is heard making Emma immediately take it from the bag that she put on the table.

"I'll be home soon, dad. I was in Nathan's mansion, " Emma put her phone back in her bag and immediately took off the apron she was wearing.

"Nathan, I have to get home soon."

"Alright, beware. Do my bodyguards need to get you to the mansion?"

It wasn't the offer that Emma really wanted, but Nathan's offer to drop her off.

"No need, Nathan. I brought my own bodyguard, see you," Emma hugged Nathan's body briefly and then stepped out of the kitchen.

"You want tiramisu stuffing?" nathan asked immediately standing up from his seat.

"What do you want to do?" Davira looked at him in confusion.

"There's still a lot of dough left over, and I have tiramisu here. I'll make it for you."

"Can you?"

"I've seen Emma make it a lot, sorry for not having Emma make you tiramisu stuffing. I just don't want him to take it personally."

"No problem, I feel better because you're the one who's going to make it for me" Davira pulled up her chair to get closer.

Nathan chuckles at him, he immediately rolls up the arm of his shirt until his stocky arm is now visible. Davira looked at him with an increasingly enlarged feeling.

"How can you do anything for me, Nathan?" inner Davira really can't shake her feelings for Nathan. But his brain still denied it.

"What did your grandmother say? I'm sure he told you to meet him to talk about me, '" Davira was curious.

"You're right, he's talking about you."

"He told you to let me go?" davira asked, leaving Nathan stunned for a moment.

"He told me to kill you" Nathan replied without trying to cover up.

Davira blinked her eyes, "Honest."

"You're gonna do it?" Davira raised one eyebrow.

Nathan shook his head slowly then turned to look at Davira, Nathan stepped closer then crouched down before Davira who was sitting.

"I wouldn't do that crazy thing, I'd die if I did, Davira."

Davira rubbed Nathan's head slowly with a faint smile that he showed.

"You're against your whole family, you.... don't feel afraid?"

"No, from the beginning I was against them" Nathan replied.

"Are you really going to keep me your prisoner? Keeping me safe from your family?"

Nathan rubbed Davira's face with his dirty hands making Davira giggle.

"I'll show you to the entire Xie family at the July one meeting, they'll see you as my partner. Not a prisoner let alone my mistress."
