Plane crash flash back

I was at the company chattering with Minosa Lopez I'm off to hongkong that time. I can't trust him since I don't  really trust anyone. The way he acted on our meeting was too preditable, He looked at me with death glare and when I looked up to him he smile playfully. I smirked as I know what he's planning. Someone called him and he signaled to us to go out before picking up the phone.

I hacked his phone and when something notify to his will copy at me. I plugged my earphones and listen to their conversation.

"Yes Master, 2 bombs." That's the other man on the line said.

"On his private jet at the back, Yes we make sure he won't see it." He said. and I heard them snickered. I smirked.

"Yes. Okay we'll wait." That was all he say and hang up the phone.

I removed my hearphone and he entered back at my office smiling.

I smiled back.

The time on our flight I meet someone.

"Hi Mr. Zyne it's nice to see you. I would like to talked to you about business I know you're expert to that." He said and drink his liquor.

"Perfect, I had a trip to hongkong since you wanna know about business. Maybe you would like to be my representative there. Since I can't go Kiari my son needs me." I said to him and he seems convinced.

"That's great Mr. Zyne, you're a good business man and A good father." He said smirked and nodding.

"Yeah, I'm training him to be my successor." I said. Seriously everyone was put hatred on me. I'm a monster in the world of business industry I can do everything in just an hour but it take a life time for them.

"So I'll be your representative to that board. That's a great priviledge Mr. Saynel. Thank you." He said flattered, I smiled at him. And when he looked in his food I smirked.

"Okay then, I trust you to do your best Mr. Allan Lopez. Wear this bracelet so they'll know your my representative" I said and stood up we shook hands and exited the place. I let him wear my bracelet so they'll think I'm dead. I need peace from people around the world chased me, this is my escape.

"So, All this time you're just enjoying your life there?" I asked him sarcatic and he smile before nodding.

"Calm down son." he said and tapped my shoulder.

"So what's your plan?" I asked him his smiled faded.

"I'm planning to surprise the board." He said deeply cold and angered flexing on his face.

"Okay." I said nodding.

"Kiari. I keep my an on you since then." He said deeply cold.

"And so?" I asked nonchalantly. I crossed my arm.

"I got back because I need to tell you something." He said deeply and his voice has a presence of sadness that's new.

"What?" I asked why he can't go straight to the point?

"Are you still planning to kill Timothy Sanchez?" He asked darkly and I know there's something he's hiding. I nodded, he sighed and after that he nodded too. He know I'm serious to take avenge and no one can change my mind.

"Just—"He cut off himself and looked at the door. Selina entered and glued on the door, jaw dropped. This Man is really a dangerous, he can kill just to shocked you with his presence.

"Why are you here?" He asked Selina deeply furrowing his eyebrows.

Selina just stood there jaw dropped and spaced out.

I stood up and walking toward her, I hold her shoulder and slowly she stared at me.

"Kiari." She said low.

"Calm down." I said to her blankly.

"Is he your dad?" She asked ghastly.

Dad stood up beside me and faced Selina. Dad nodded at her blankly.

"I heard what happened to your Mom." Dad said with sad tone,

Selina stared at him still puzzled and tear slipped on her face.

"Kiari is she your friend?" Dad asked me and I don't like his expression. He stared at me deeply and I had a bad feeling about this. I did a single nodd and he sighed. Selina looked at me, all I can see in her eyes was sadness and pain. Dad turned his back on us and walked up he didn't even say something.

"I thought he's dead." Selina said slowly shaking her head frantically.

"He's not, it's a trap." I said casually.

She nodded. I hugged her to ease what she felt inside. She adjusted to her arms and squeeze me tight.

We laid inside her room eyes locked on each other. I don't want to break the contact, she's to precious to avoid. I can dodge death but not her gazed, Bombs erupted inside my stomach and heat up my whole body. I want her, I like her but the timing wasn't right. I need time to fixed myself, I need time to changed myself, for her. She deserves better, not to other Man, but she deserves the better me.

"Wait for me." I said not breaking the contact. I said blankly without any emotions. I'll be real if I cleared everything. I'm weak but I force myself to be strong.

"what?" She asked furrowed her eyebrows. I rolled my eyes.

"You're stupid." I said nonchalantly and looked at me with her burning gaze. I chuckled, I was amused to her face everytime she got pissed off by me.

I pulled her for hugged, I hugged her tightly enough to scared me if I'll lose her.

"Wait for me, I'm fixing myself to love you." I said deeply and she nodded buried her face on my chest.

"I will." She said and I kissed her forehead, And I chuckled when her face tinted red.

"Charles asked me if he can court me." She said low and I feel my angered slowly filled me. She hold my face and all my anger vanished. She has a power to calm me down. She has a power to control my anger and that's why I love her.

"And?" I asked deeply dark and furrowed my eyebrows.

"I said yes." She said looking into my eyes. I felt a stabbed on my heart, I stood up and about to walked out but she wrapped her arm around my torso. Resting her face at my back. I sighed and face her hugged her tightly, burrying my face on her neck. Her scent feels heaven, her breathing send chills to my whole body. I wanna locked in her arms forever.

"I love you." I said whispered at her ears and she pulled off from hugging me. Fixated our gaze and I looked at her eyes, I smirked as I saw she's blushing. I leaned down she slowly closed her eyes and so as I. Until I felt her lips on mine, sending spark all over my body. Her love drives me crazy, and the thought of getting away from her kills me. I realized I'm still lucky to have her, she's genuine, she's different, She's my everything.

We pulled ourselves from kissed when we're almost breathless. And she smiled at me hugging me tightening her arms around my torso. 

"Thank you." She said. I looked in her eyes emotionless. I grabbed her hand  walking downstairs heading to the garage. I hopping on motorbike, Putting helmet on her and give her a quick peek on her lips. And star the engine, I grabbed her hand placing around my waits and speed up to the highways.

Selina

I closed my eyes and feel the strong blow of winds against my face. It feel so comfortable hugging him tight while riding a motorbike resting my head on his back. I'm going to fix everthing when I got back to school, I'll say sorry to Charles. We arrived at the

Yosemite National Park.

"Woahhhh." The lake, tree, the big stone. And all it's beautiful.

I looked at kiari he stared blankly, There's still no emotion featured on his face. But I know, he loves me, that face would not have time to kidd around. I looked around the place, the gentle blow of wind makes me shiver. I smiled and sighed deeply. I felt kiari arm linking around me I laid my head his shoulder. This day is the best day ever! I love him and the place was perfectly lovely. Kiari removed his hand on my around and stood up behinď me wrapping his arm around my waist and placing his head in my neck. I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. We stayed her for almost 2 hours, before heading home.

We eat dinner together with his Dad. I felt uncomfortable when his around,  maybe I'm not used to his tense presence.

"Kiari." He said putting down his fork and wiped his mouth with table napkin. "When you're done, come to Office." He said and Kiari nodded. He stood up and start walking upstairs, I sighed, that's scared me.

"Stupid, eat up. And drink your meds I'll be in your room later." He said deeply. I stunned to what he say. I looked at Cilia she shivered, I felt my cheeked burning. I cleared my throat and looked at him, Amusement flashed on his eyes quickly.

He stood up emotionless and brushed my hair and he walked up stairs. I don't know but I don't feel good about it. My heart start beating double and I can't breath.

Why do I feel like this? This feeling ruins my happiness. I stood up and walked up into my room.

I laid and in my bed and waited Kiari to come over, Time had passed but he's not here. I wanna come over to his room but I'm scared something stopping me, strange. I laid down scrolling on my phone, It's passed midnight but he's still not comming. What happened my thoughts killed me.

I decide to sleep, I know kiari will come here later maybe his fixing something. But he should've text me. Nevermind, calm down self his doing something urgent. I sighed and slowly closed my eyes, In an instant I stood up, frightened from the bang of broken glass. Outside, What the hell is happening, it's scared me to the highest rate. And another broken glass frightened me again. I cried as I felt really scared and I can't do anything.
