LYDIA’S POV: –
“I think we shouldn’t go like this; we should wait for her!” I said while stopping and pulling my hand out of his hold, He sighed and turned around, “Listen to me Lydia, we have to let them be alone, believe me! It’s best for them, “he said looking down at me,
“How can I let her be alone with him, He killed someone in front of her and wh… what if he does something to her!” I yelled while tears rolled in my eyes, He took my face in his while bending a bit and looking straight into my eyes,
“I know we just met a few hours back but Trust me, He’s my brother and I know him very well,” he said with his deep voice and thick British accent. This family has a thing with their accent and voice for sure.
I stared at his beautiful eyes and sensed the worry he has for his brother in his eyes and I found myself nodding my head at his words,
“Thank you, I promise I won’t let anything happen to Clarissa, she’ll be back to you, fit and fine,” he said with a small smile, He took my hand in his hand and took me out of the house.
What should I say to her mom? A question popped into my mind which made me tense.

CLARISSA’S POV: –
I stared at him shocked and surprised to hear him ask to move in with him! He was staring at me with hopeful eyes, what did I say to him? He might hurt me if I say no! I think it’s best for me to accept him and leave this city with my mom as soon as I step out of here.
“My… mo… Mom.” I tried to say but he cut me off, “Your mom lives with you?” he asked in surprise, I nodded my head, I tried to mask my fear but I couldn’t.
I could see his eyes softened when I nodded my head which confused me! He lowered his head while standing up and I could sense sadness in his features, he moved back, “leave! before I change my mind” he said without raising his head.
Hearing his words happiness filled inside me but I covered it up, I didn’t let it show on my face but also, I felt confused, he’s letting me go? But why? if he wants me to leave then why didn’t he let me go with Romulus and Lydia? I didn’t let all these questions stop me because I knew his personality would switch anytime and am already hating Cyrus and I don’t want him to pop out again. I quickly stood up and turned around as I began walking towards the main door,
“One second!” he said, which made my legs stop dead in my tracks. I gulped hard and anxiety began to fill every single part, my heart was beating rapidly against my ribcage. I slowly turned my head towards him, he was looking straight at me with a very serious expression on his face.
“I’ll be waiting outside your house tomorrow morning sharp at 9 o’clock,” he said with a deadpan expression on his face, I gulped hard while I slowly nodded my head, “And..” he began slowly walking to me, “If I don’t find you ready… then I’ll walk up to your house…drag you out by myself,” he said while dragging every single letter and walking up to me in a threatening way,
“I know you won’t make me do it!” he said while stopping just inches away from me while hovering over me, I had to look all the way up to him.
I swallowed hard while I lowered my head and nodded at him, I felt his hand on my head stroking my hair. I tried not to look up at him but it was hard when I felt his hot breath on my face. I took deep slow breaths while I tried to control myself and suddenly, he grabbed me by the hair and pulled my head back making me look at him. I gasped at the harsh pull.
His eyes were on my lips, “Don’t try to escape me, love,” he said, his lips were close to me and the way he was staring at my lips made me breathless.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Suddenly he released my hair, making me stumble back a few steps, with a shaky breath I glanced at him before rushing out of the room.

LYDIA’S POV: –
I watched him get in his car, while I stood by a side waiting for him to drive it out from the parking lot, as my mind got occupied with Clarissa’s thoughts, I heard footsteps behind me, “Lydia!” I quickly turned around when I heard Clarissa’s voice calling my name, I saw her walking toward me through the living room.
I quickly rushed to her and hugged her while tears began falling through my eyes, we sobbed as we both hugged each other, “I was so scared!” I heard her say, “Sh!!! You’re safe,” I said.
I helped her get inside the car and Romulus drove us out the house. As he was driving us back to Clarissa’s house I asked, “What happened? How did you come out of that room?” I asked while staring at her reflection through the rearview mirror,
She looked at me through it, “He let me go!” she said, I turned back in shock, “What?” I said looking at her in confusion,
“Yes!” she said looking down at her lap, “If he wanted to leave you then why didn’t he let you come with us,” I asked her while glancing at Romulus,
“I don’t know!” she said in confusion,
“What did he say before letting you go!” I asked I think he wants something from her, it can only be the reason why he let her go! I thought.
“He wants me to move into his house,” she said,
“What!”
