Chapter 149 This is my fight
Arianna's POV
I adjusted myself on the table as he leaned his face closer to mine. I twirl my hair, anticipating his next words.
"Hey, how about you spend the night here, it's dangerous up there"
I let out a sided smile and replied;
"Nope, I'd be fine"
My voice quavered with the after effects.
"Arianna not when you're life's at stake" he stated in a panic as he brings down my shirt.
My lips folded as i ducked my head at him. I know he cares and loves me but then, this is my fight now.
"She won't return" i assured patting his shoulder and he suddenly narrowed his eyes at him.
"How do you know it's a she?" He curiously asked and I quickly refrained from his embrace, tensed and jittery.
"I guess because your weakness is women" i mused with a frown on my face as I hated myself for saying that.
"Arianna, you're my life and you're the only one that weakens me, no one else" he declares and I felt nervous.
"How do I know you aren't reading it from a line?" I said in a low tone staring into his eyes.
They were warm and passionate that I could drown myself in them.
"It's true, you're everything I ever need, my strength and my weakness" he whispers and my stomach twitches.
I was nervous that my feet were trembling but then, my nose itches.
I smelt something more like a fuel or gas that i almost wretched. The scent comes from the kitchen.
Ravyen refrain from holding me as he sniffs his nose.
Ravyen perceives it too as we glanced at each other.
"Ravyen what's happening?" I asked and then he furrowed his brows, swaying his face to the direction of the kitchen.
I held his hand, suddenly scared of losing him.
"I got it under control milady" he jokes with a sided smile. My heart skips as I gulp hard.
He let go of my hand and pace towards the kitchen.
I intended to draw close when I saw panic in his eyes. He gestured to me to stand back.
"There's a leakage!" He quickly asserts and yells at me to inform the others while he tries to resolve the issue.
I didn't want to move but he barks at me to hurry up. Something was definitely wrong.
Did I mess up or got figured out? The only reason I was here is because Elena and Ivan were here.
Earlier, at the market place, I had left because an informant texted me he found their location.
Getting into their villa was difficult and I had to dress up like a delivery lady. Unfortunately, I didn't meet them in the house but i managed to sneak my way in by gunning down some men.
They were very tactical about their files and secrets.
Despite my search in this villa, I couldn't find a single document that might help me.
I returned home, lazily not until I met ravyen...
Just as he said, I rush to their various room.
I began to bang on their doors to get them out of the house. I perceive it's more than just a leakage.
However, he wasn't telling me what it is. Taking them out was quite difficult as this family were lousy sleepers.
Naty had opened her door, she was half naked and covering herself with a blanket.
Her face dull and her hair scattered on her face. Her eyes were heavy as she bent slightly on the door.
It's obvious they were making out, that's why they didn't show up when the kids and I were hanging out in the dinning.
From her facial expression, she was trying to assert the scene that was going on.
"What's wrong?" She questioned with sleepy eyes and then yawn.
"Get everyone out! There's danger!" I declared pertrified and intending to rush to where ravyen was.
However, Naty was still standing there and rubbing her eyes.
"Is this a prank?" She asked me, lazily holding the door and squinting her eyes at me.
"Shit! Naty, there's a leakage, I think it's gas or something!" I whimper walking ahead of her to the kids room.
I took a glimpse of her as she shudders. Her husband had woken up to join her by the door.
They were stricken with grief. I was at Micheal's door, trying to get it open. Miller's room was opposite me.
Luckily, Miller was a light sleeper and she had woken up to meet me outside.
I felt she overheard my conversation with her mom as she looked fully awake. She raked her scattered hair to the back, looking agile.
"What went wrong?" She questioned hurrying towards Mira's room. I forgot about their parents as they were troubled and trying to fish out the problem.
"Cut off with the question" I snapped and entered Micheal's room.
He was in a deep slumber and the child wasn't moving. If ravyen says everyone should evacuate the house, then it's serious.
Hastily, I took Micheal on my back and raced downstairs.
Naty took the child away and hurried outside with the rest girls.
I haven't heard Ravyen's voice except his cusses which meant things weren't good.
I won't leave, not when ravyen inside the house and trying to save the house.
Naty's husband too intended to reach out to Ravyen in the kitchen.
I had almost taken a step to the kitchen when naty pulled me outside the house.
"Let the men handle it" she whispers and I threw my gaze at the terrified kids outside.
I shoved her hand away. Ravyen needs me.
"Let me check up on them too" i reasoned just not to get her offended.
It was obvious she was perturbed but needed to stay with kids outside.
I could see she was trying to contact a technician.
Her husband suddenly ran outside with a relief on his face. Our heavy heart relaxes as the bright look on his face proves nothing went wrong.
I was almost scared to death. If he was outside, then ravyen would be right behind him.
"It's been settled..."
He hadn't completed his statement when I suddenly heard a loud blast.
