Dangerously Yours Till Eternity

“I told her nothing, Sire.”

Ivy had never heard Elsa’s voice tremble with so much fear in her life, except for the time when they had found her bleeding to death.

Immediately, Elsa seemed to have come back to herself. She was no longer grunting in pain, she seemed normal now.

“We have to go,” Chris said to Ivy.

When he turned to her, he no longer looked wild.

He pressed a kiss against her lips, sending tingles down her veins, goosebumps lacing her skin.

He pulled away, resting his forehead against her’s, before he finally let her go. He turned to the Butler that was now by her side once again.

He wasn’t there before, he must have used his vampire speed.

“Keep her save for me. Koel.”

“Yes, Sire.”

Without another word, he started walking towards Jett, towards the helicopter.

This didn’t feel good at all. It felt like some last goodbye scene right out of a movie and she didn’t like it one bit.

“See you soon, Princess.”

Elsa managed to give Ivy her signature carefree smile, but Ivy knew her too well and she knew that her best friend, right now, was afarid.

So while they all went into the helicopter and disappeared into the sky, Koel started leading her down the stairs, back into the hotel.

Different thoughts filled Ivy’s mind and bugged her.

Why was the brother’s arrival making everyone like this? What did it have to do with Elsa? Was Elsa safe?

What were they planning to do with her best friend?!

Ivy had gotten her dress from the room.

The next thing she knew, she was in the car with Koel, who was driving her home.

The ride back home was quiet and no one said a thing till they finally arrived at her house.

“Thanks for dropping me home,” Ivy said, then she came out of the car, bags in her hand while she struggled to shut the door respectfully.

Koel stepped in, helping her shut the door while he took the bags from her like as if they weighed nothing.

They must weigh nothing to him anyways.

“I’ll help.”

She nodded in gratitude. When they got into the compound though, she met the shock of her life.

Her parents car was in the compound.

Then she saw Davies, who was on his way out, retiring for the night.

That was strange. It must be some minutes to 11. He usually retired for the day earlier than that, especially because hadn’t been at home as of late.

“Good evening, Davies. I can see my parents car here, are they back?” She asked as quickly as she could.

She needed answers and she needed them right now.

“Good evening, Miss Rominnez.” He answered, folding his hands behind him. “Yes, Mr and Mrs. Rominnez are back.”

What was— why hadn’t they told her?!

She had to ask him again, specifically when they returned because she knew that he would never give an answer to a question he wasn’t directly asked, even if the question had been implied.

“When?”

“Tonight, only about 33 minutes and 12 seconds ago. 15 now.”

“Fantastic.”

Davies didn’t say anything back, he only stared back at her.

“May I take my leave now, Miss Rominnez?”

“Wait, did they look like they were nervous or look strange when they got back?”

Davies stared back at her blankly.

“I didn’t observe, Miss Rominnez. I didn’t think it was necessary to.”

She used to like him because he minded his business. Now she wished he was a bit nosy.

“But you are the one who drove them back from tbe airport. How can you not know?”

Now, there was no way for her to get an hint of why her parents had returned so suddenly. Even her Father hadn’t told her of their arrival.

Some minutes of silence passed between them before Davies spoke up.

“My apologies but it not my job to know. Miss. Rominnez, may I take my leave now?”

“Of course.” She smiled to him tightly. She definitely hated him now. “Thank you.”

He nodded curtly then took his leave, not even giving Koel as much as a glance.

Ivy grabbed her bags from Koel, smiling warmly at him.

“I can take it from here.”

She turned around, struggling as she walked closer to the door, getting closer to the stairs.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Then she stopped and turned around.

“Why are you following me?”

“The Sire wants me to keep you save.”

“I know, you’ve done your best.”

She started walking but still, he followed.

She stopped abruptly.

“You really have to leave now. It is not like you planned to spend the night in my place in the name of protecting me anyways.”

He stared back at her, his stance unflattering.

“You did?!”

“The Sire didn’t want me hanging around like I did last time.”

“Last time? What last time?”

“The night you knew our identity.”

“Great. I really have to talk to Chris about boundaries.” She muttered underneath her breath as she huffed. She knew he heard her though. “You still have to go though.”

“I can’t. The Sire believes I must stay with you in the house to offer a greater protection.”

She nodded, although not in agreement, as she took in deep breaths.

“You hung around last time and I didn’t notice you. Hang around again.”

She started walking away, certain that she had dismissed the situation, but then the moving shadow behind her said otherwise.

“Are you serious right now?!”

“No, Sire’s Woman, I cannot hang around. It is against the orders that I received.”

Chris was really getting on her nerves now.

“Orders, blah blah blah. I get it. But what do you expect me to tell my parents when I bring you in?”

He stared back at her blankly, not attempting to give a response.

“I know I have a reputation but no! I can’t say I’m bringing a guy home and all. My mum will plan the wedding! We’ll Mr and Mrs before Sunrise.”

He shrugged, not concerned in the least.

“I make great tea.”

“How does that help anything?!”

Colour her frustrated. It felt like as if she was talking to a stubborn child.

She really couldn’t deal with this right now. She still had worried thoughts about Elsa’s wellbeing filling her brain, then there was the houghts of why her parents were back. Had they just dropped by as they usually did

Her eyes widened as a thought crossed her mind.

Or– oh no! Had any of Chris’s enemies discovered her parents and done something to them?

Suddenly all her worries became unimportant, and she raced towards the door.
