Crystal Lemiere
I looked at the beautiful view of sunset and couldn't help but smile and take a ton of pictures. I put my phone down and crossed my arms in front of my chest enjoying the view. I love it here..
"Beautiful huh?" Lucas stood beside looking at the view.
"Yeah, it is."
"This is the first time I brought someone to see my healing spot or runaway spot." He said and I smiled.
"Should I cry hearing that?" I asked sarcastically and he chuckled.
"Do you want to see the sunset tomorrow?" He asked and I turned my head to him.
"Yeah.. sure." I answered and he smiled at me.
"You know.. I love your good side."
"Don't try to flirt with me." I hissed and he chuckled hearing it.
"I don't need to flirt, you're already attached to me."
"Cocky jerk." I hissed.
"I'm not acting cocky but I'm just telling the truth." He said and I rolled my eyes.
"Don't ruin the moment, Lucas." I kept looking at the sun until it disappears. I smiled because seeing the sunset really brings back my mood.
"You know.. seeing you here and right now doesn't feel like I'm being kidnapped by a mafia." I said honestly and then I turned to him. He turned his head to me and he sighed.
"Because I'm not one. I was forced to be one."
"How did he kidnap you at that time?" I asked and he turned his head back to the view.
"When I was 16, I was just an ordinary guy who loved to do crazy things, especially breaking the rules. I was out with 6 other friends to the club with a fake ID. We were having fun and drank a lot of alcohol when suddenly there's a fight going on. I wasn't on my right mind at that time and joined the fight.. I learned MMA so I have really good fighting skills and I'm a furious dude. Kristopher saw that and asked his man to get me and my friend Deandre."
"We were kidnapped and he brought us to Russia. He trained us there if he didn't like our skills or he didn't like the way we act.. he will kill us right on the spot. I acted like his puppet all the time and he picked me as the leader for America's mafia. He knew everything about me.. my family, friends and everything so he used it to threatened me." He sighed remembering all his past.
"And then I found you.. more like you showed up without any warning. You did amused me at first and really lured me. The fact that you're Nicholas Lemiere's daughter doesn't make me want to use you or anything.. it's pure that I'm interested in you. It was the first time that I found a match that had the same level as mine." He added.
"How about your family?" I asked.
"I left them, of course. If I stay.. Kristopher will kill them and me. I already lost my sister because she's sick and I don't want them to lose me too. I tried to keep myself alive and find a way to get back to them." He answered.
"Keeping you here is because I just want to be the normal Lucas for a while. After your dad finds you, everything will go back to where it belongs. That's why I told you that I won't hurt you here.." He added.
"You're lying huh? You just want to make me pity you and then use me to help you get out from your mafia chain." I said coldly. I won't let my guard down that easy. He's a mafia and I don't want to be a fool.
"Use you to get out of Kristopher?" He laughed dryly and then he turned to me, "It's up to you if you think about me like that. Whether I'm lying or not.. it's your choice. You just only need to know that I won't hurt you here.. not even a scratch." He emphasized the last sentence.
"My dad will kill you anyway once he finds me." I said confidently and looked at him coldly. He just nodded.
"Let's eat dinner.. dinner is ready." He said as he looked down at his watch. He was going to walk away but I held his arm.
"I just want you to know that I don't believe anything you say." I said looking straight into his eyes and he smiled.
"Good. Don't trust me and never believe me." He said and he walked away. He left me speechless and then I sat down on the chair. I looked at the sea and feel this weird feeling about him.
I don't want to believe everything that he said and I don't want to trust him. I bet in a few days, my dad will find me and everything will be okay.. but somehow I want to trust him and believe everything he said earlier.
I promise myself that I won't get in trouble again. Lucas is a mafia and being with him is a definition of trouble. I can't make my family worry again.. they will be sad if they know that their daughter is dealing with a mafia.
I don't believe Lucas and won't believe or trust him. I won't believe him. I won't trust him. I kept repeating those words in my head.
I got up from my seat and walked towards the dining place. Lucas was already waiting for me, he gestured to me to sit and then one of the guards put the food in front of us. Today's menu is.. steak.
"Crystal." He called me and then I looked up to him.
"Can we just cooperate and not fight during this time? I bet your dad will be here in 3/4 days. He will take you away and then tighten up the guards to protect you. After that happens, I won't look for you again. I don't want to deal with the 7 Gold Lifes anymore so can you just cooperate with me while you're here?" He asked without looking at me.
"You promise you won't look for me again?" I asked.
"Promise. If I promise something.. I really mean it." He said and I nodded.
"Okay, I'll cooperate with you and won't fight with you for 3-4 days." I said and he smiled but still he won't look at me. He kept looking down to his food.
"You're acting like you will die after that.." I joked and then he laughed.
"Die? That's the last thing on my list." Good to hear that.
