The prisoner of Mr. Xie

Part 68 - Emma's Request

The two handsome-looking men are now standing on the balcony enjoying a cigarette and staring at the night sky that looks so dark without stars.

The wind blew fiercely because of Carlos' mansion built near the beach.

Jakob exhaled his cigarette smoke violently then clucked irritatedly.

"I hate to admit this, but everything you do is right. You saved Davira from that son of a bitch, you did it without caring that Davira would hate you more. You always protect her, even when all you get is hate" Jakob looks at Nathan who is silent and still sipping his cigarette.

"You love him so much, Jonathan? He shot you and your grandmother's death was presumed to be due to Davira, the poison was also in his bag. But you immediately believed him when he said he didn't. You just believe it, with no evidence or more detailed explanation."

Nathan shook his head slowly as he exhaled his cigarette smoke into the air.

"I don't know why I did all that. Davira just kept getting my attention from the beginning I saw her, I became unable to let go and I became angry every time I saw her together with another man. And after what happened, I became desperate to protect her from anyone including my family."

"You're going to keep opposing them?" jakob asked making Nathan stunned for a moment.

"I'm going to drag the real culprits in front of them because I believe that Davira is not the culprit."

Jakob chuckled little, "You know Jonathan? Davira always remembers you when she ran away with me. Davira even always wears your necklace, I also often hear her crying every night. I know he's trying to suppress his feelings for you. But I feel quite relieved that now that the truth has been revealed, she no longer needs to hold back her feelings for you."

"I know he loves me" Nathan said, making Jakob stare at him flat.

"I have to confess something to you again" Jakob sighed harshly.

"Davira chose you, she told us that she would come back with you if everything you said was true. And that means now that she's gonna stay with you, she's not gonna go back to living life with us."

"I'm going to keep Davira by my side, how could I let her go with you?"

"She'll probably be by your side, Jonathan. But you should know something, you might not have known this before."

Nathan frowned then turned to look at Jakob.

"What don't I know about Davira?

"Many things, you've probably been watching him for a long time, figuring out all about him. But you never once saw what Davira really wanted. All this time you only see her as a wealthy woman, attractive with luxurious clothes and accessories from head to toe. But you've never seen the other side of Davira, and I'm the one who saw it."

Jakob chuckled then gently patted Nathan's shoulder.

"I know I don't have to say this, not Davira's happiness, then I'll tell you something. Davira is a woman who loves freedom, she is wild and has her own way of thinking. Davira will not be able to live a life full of restraints, a year, two years, maybe he will still hold it. But afterwards? He'll start to get tired of being with you even if he loves you, Jonathan. Therefore make him yours in a free way, letting him be friends and be in the environment he wants will not make you lose him."

Nathan was silent for a moment thinking about every word Jakob said, and everything the man said was true. All this time he did make Davira feel imprisoned, making him a prisoner in a golden cage, which he did only give Davira various kinds of gifts, but that is not what makes Davira happy.

But freedom, something Davira never got.

"Why do you care about Davira?" nathan asked curiously.

"Because I love him, we all love him. You know Jonathan? The people I work with are always important to me and I love them."

"It's weird, I don't get angry when you say you love Davira."

"It's outrageous that if you get angry just because someone loves him, he deserves affection. After I see the video footage, I'll be very upset if he gets hurt again."

"No, I will always protect Davira. And I will give her happiness, as you said before, I will try to give her freedom. I know why you told me all that, because you definitely don't want to break up with Davira. You still want to have communication and still want to meet him."

Jakob laughed, "I'm glad you understand, I'll kidnap Davira if you forbid him from meeting us."

"I'll kill you before you do that."

Nathan goes into the room provided by Carlos for Davira, the woman appears to be asleep with a blanket wrapped around her body. Nathan immediately walked over, he climbed onto the bed carefully so as not to disturb Davira's sleep.

The corner of Nathan's lips pulled to the side looking at Davira's face, he hasn't seen Davira fall asleep like this.

His hand moved rubbing Davira's cheek that felt swollen, seeing the woman constantly crying made her heart hurt. Nathan hates when he has to reopen the wound in Davira's heart, but Davira does have to meet Keenan and see the tape.

Davira has every right to know who killed his family.

Nathan promised himself that after this he would give happiness to Davira. And to get that happiness, Nathan must soon find his grandmother's killer. Davira's life will be threatened by his own family if the real perpetrator is not found.

Nathan pulled Davira's waist, tightened their bodies. He put his chin on Davira's head while occasionally dipping it with such great affection for the woman.

While in a different place, Emma is now making a mess in her own room. Shards of glass were strewn across the floor, things were no longer in place.

"Gurgh!"

Emma screamed loudly then took a small vase of flowers on the nightstand and slammed it to the floor until it broke into pieces.

Emma felt so angry and upset that Nathan had never returned to Rome, the man had lied to her. Regardless of where Nathan and Davira are at the moment, Emma really feels cheated and not appreciated at all.

The servants who were outside the room could only stand with worry at the sound of screaming and broken glass, not usually Emma to rampage like now. But the servants certainly did not dare to reprimand Emma or knock on the door of the woman's room until finally Arthur came to make them all bow their heads.

"What's this?" arthur asked, hearing Emma's scream.

Lidya who was standing among the servants immediately moved forward.

"Mr Xie left Miss while she was in Saltykovka, Mr. Xie told Rolan that she was returning to Rome due to urgent matters. When Miss also returned to Rome to follow, it turned out that Mr. Xie was not in Rome. Mr. Xie lied, no one knows of his current whereabouts."

Arthur clenched his fists tightly hearing Nathan's treatment of his beloved daughter.

"Emma, it's dad" Arthur knocks on Emma's bedroom door, but there's absolutely no telling.

"You got the spare key?"

"It's Master, I'm waiting for you to open it," Lidya immediately gave Emma's room key to Arthur.

The 52-year-old man who still looked gallant hurriedly opened the door of his daughter's room. He was so surprised to see Emma's room was so messy.

"Emma," Arthur immediately approached Emma, who was sitting on the floor, among the broken glass.

"Emma, did Nathan hurt you?"

The woman only sobbed making Arthur immediately embrace her.

"Nathan lied to me, father, Nathan doesn't appreciate my sacrifice at all."

Arthur's face immediately hardened to hear him, he tightened his embrace to Emma.

"Calm down, baby, I'm gonna teach him a lesson."

Emma immediately shook her head, however she loved Nathan dearly. He wouldn't be able to if he had to lose that man. Emma's not gonna let her dad do anything crazy to Nathan.

"It's not Nathan, dad. But to that woman, because it was Nathan who hurt me. The one to be taught is a woman named Davira Handoko. I hate him Dad, get him out of Nathan's life!"
