#Book 2 Chapter 16
Smirking from behind, I watched Keian as his back was turned to me while he’s cooking for our supper.
He volunteered so, there he is.
It’s also late at night now and we haven’t eaten our dinner yet.
Everything’s okay now. We have already talked about those people from our past. If that’s what he wants, then I’ll do it as long as he keeps it himself…
I walked closer to him and peeked from his shoulder to see what he’s cooking but his large built body successfully blocked it to prevent me from seeing.
He looked at me over his shoulder.NôvelDrama.Org content.
” Just stay seated baby… I got this, trust me” I pouted my lips.
“I’m just curious about what you’re cooking.” He flashed a smile.
” Well, it’s a surprise so I can’t let you know”
” Hmph!”
He smirked and came face to face with me.
” You can stare at my face while you wait, I give you my permission,” He said like he was really serious.
I laughed at what he said.
But his face turned even more serious.
” Why are you laughing?” When I saw that he’s a bit annoyed at this, I stopped the laughter escaping from my lips.
” H-huh? I’m so—Wah!”
” Hahahahaha! Keian stop that!”
” What are you laughing at huh?” He grinned so wide while tickling me.
Is that so?
I tried drawing his hands away from me but I can’t seem to do so! Huhu.
“Keian, hold it, I’m pregnant!” He immediately stopped as I said that.
” Oh sorry,” He said with hesitation.
He was about to resume what he’s doing but it was my turn to tickle him.
” Hahahahaha!” I smiled almost immediately.
The sound of his laugh is so beautiful!!!
He was squirming like he wanted to remove my hands from me but he chose not to for he might just end up hurting me again.
Mwahahahhahahha.
“What are you now? Hahaha”
” No, baby. Okay, I’m sorry hahaha”
*thud*
We crashed on the floor but instead of stopping, I sat on top of him and continued to tickle him worse than ever!
” Hahahahaha! No! Stop it! Nass, hahaha”
I didn’t stop tickling him as my smile stayed on my face.
His laughter is like music to my ears.
??
” Maître” We only stopped when we heard someone’s voice coming from the door.
Keian also noticed that and we both turned to where the voice originated from.
It’s Dominique.
Keian suddenly returned to his cold expression and so I stood up from our position so he could also compose himself.
” *ehem* qu’Est-ce que c’est?(what is it?)” He fixed the button-up polo he was wearing while I hid myself from behind Keian because of shame.
Dominique bowed before answering.
” Quelqu’un du nom de Nami vous demande, maître (Someone named Nami is asking for you, master)” my eyebrows creased almost immediately and I looked at Keian’s face who also turned to me.
” Pourquoi? Où est-elle? ( Why? Where is she?)” I eyed Keian because of the eagerness in his voice.
” Je ne sais pas pourquoi, monsieur. Mais elle t’attend dehors(I don’t know why, sir. But she is waiting for you outside.)” Dominique gestured his hand and pointed it in Nami’s direction. Keian held my shoulders and gave me a look as if he was asking permission.
I nodded at him and so he barged out of the house.
I quickly grabbed my jacket, wore it, and went out to follow Keian.
” —Someone’s following me, Kei. I don’t know why. They want me dead please help me!” I heard a beautiful but hysterical voice of a woman as soon as I stepped outside.
Keian was beside her and they were a few steps near the boat.
There’s blood on the clothes of the woman that we presume is Nami, looks like she’s wounded.
” Are you okay? Why are you bleeding?” Keian asked her.
” Kei, please, those people will be on their way to find me. They’re going to kill me!” Nami’s story made me shocked and suddenly I felt nervous.
Keian’s face turned serious.
“Sorry, I led them here but you’re the only person I know who could help me.” Keian’s jaw tightened and gestured for Dominique to come closer.
” It’s okay”
Keian told Dominique something I couldn’t hear much.
Keian told Nami to come with him while he comes over to me.
But my attention shifted to what’s behind them.
Keian uprooted his gun and pointed it to a boat where four men are caught with their weapons.
*shoot*
Despite the long-distance, he successfully got to hit one of them. Then the men started shooting bullets continuously.
” Ahh!” Nami screamed which made her sit on the sand.
Dominique tried assisting her to stand up but only ending up being pushed away by the girl.
My heart was racing while I came closer to the girl staring straight on the ground.
” Hey” her eyes looked up at me.
” H-help me” I gave her a reassuring smile.
” It’s okay, Keian and his men will protect you… us” I said to her. Then she started trembling with fear.
That’s where I noticed she’s wet everywhere.
” B-but—”
” Shhhh, don’t worry. Let’s go inside so we wouldn’t get hit by any bullet.” She nodded at me while Dominique helped her to get up from her feet.
Before going back inside the house, I turned to Keian whose cold piercing eyes are still focused on the boat where the four men’s bodies laid dead.
” Get them, we can find out who they are even though they are dead,” he said to one of his men.
” Yes maître”
As if Keian felt my gaze on him, he turned to me with a nod.
I nodded back.
Thank God nobody was harmed…

” Who are you?” My eyes looked up at Nami.
I’m currently treating her wounds on her knees and a few scratches she got.
The way Nami was looking at me was a mixture of confusion and… annoyance.
Trying to ignore that fact, I replied to her.
” My name is Nassandra” I tried to stifle out a smile.
” No, I’m not asking for your name. Who are you? Why are you here with Kei?” I prevented myself from letting out a sarcastic and bitter laugh.
We stayed put here inside the house while Keian was still outside, talking to the rest of his men.
” Uhmmm” At that moment, I didn’t know what to answer…
” She’s Maître Andrew’s wife and maître is the father of their child” I saw Nami winced at what Dominique just said.
He knows how to speak English after all.
Nami rolled her eyes and kept quiet about the matter. After wrapping and treating her wounds, I slightly distanced myself away.
” So… Why are those men chasing after you?” Nami’s eyes widened and shifted back to her panicked state.
“I-I didn’t do anything!” I furrowed my eyebrows at her.
Something is wrong with her…
“Then why—“
