“So you came here when you were young,” Daria asked, amazed by how old the cafe was.
“Yes, with my brother,” he replied. “What!! you have a brother?” Daria's eyes widened in shock.
“Yes but he is no longer available” Nicholas replied nonchalantly.
“Wow you must have really loved him” Daria said, running his palm to comfort him.
“I am okay,I have you” Nicholas smiled, kissing the back of her palm.
“I would be here” she replied tucking her hair behind her ears.
“What was your brother's name?” She asked curiously, as she took a sip of her orange juice.
“Adrian” he replied and Daria immediately paused.
Her heart raced as she heard his name, “Adrian” his name rolled out of her lips slowly.
“What happened to him?” She asked staring at him
“He was betrayed by the girl he loved and abandoned,” he replied, taking a bite of his pancake.
“Why would someone do something so heartless?” Daria asked, annoyed with the mystery woman.
“She will be dealt with accordingly” Nicholas replied, with a hint of determination in his eyes.
“But for now, I want to focus on you and nothing more” Nicholas added, cutting the bacon on her plate.
Daria's heart melted with his words. She watched Nicholas gently serve the table, when he got distracted by his phone.
“I am on my way” Nicholas replied the person on the other end as his aura darrkened.
“What happened?” Daria asked noticing the change in his aura.
“I have some thing to do” Nicholas replied, signaling for the waiter.
“The bill…is” the waiter was interrupted by the card I Nicholas's hand.
Slowly he took the card and retreated, “let's go, I'll drop you off at your office” Nicholas said, helping Daria up.
“Is everything okay” Daria asked, trying to read his already blank expression.
“I have something important to do” he replied as they walked out of the cafe.
Two men in Black suits approached them, subconsciously Daria held onto Nicholas arm.
“They are with me” Nicholas assured her placing his hand over hers.
“The place is ready”one if the men informed Nicholas, with a slight bow.
Nicholas nodded in response as he walked past them, with Daria.
Daria looked at the two men wearingly, they emitted danger as they entered another car they had come with.
“Who are they?” Daria asked as her eyes watched them.
“No one in important, you shouldn't worry” he replied squeezing her hand gently as he drove away.
Nicholas drove into the parking lot of Daria's office. “I will see you later,okay” he placed a gentle kiss in her forehead.
“When is that” Daria sulked, “soon, I have important work” he replied letting her go.
“Okay” she responded as she began to walk into the office.
Daria turned and spared a glance at the car that followed them as she waved at Nicholas who stood still until she entered her office.
“Let's go” Nicholas signaled the men behind, and a sinister smile curved up his lips, as he drove away.
Nicholas arrived at his private airport, “they were discovered at a private island” one of the men said as they boarded his plane.
“Then let's give them a surprise visit” Nicholas said as his eyes burned with excitement and anger.
“Ludwig, tighten the security around the hospital and Daria” he said to the man.
“I don't want any hiccups” he added sitting comfortably on the seat as the plane took off.
Daria sat in her office,her mind still focused on the mysterious men from earlier that day.
Her train of thoughts was caught buy the Elena's shrieking voice.
“Daria!!!!” Elena screamed, as she entered Daria's office with gift bags.
“I am backkkk” she continued running to Daria's side.
Daria gave her a bit hug, as her face brightened up. “Wait, why are you back so early?”.
“Well the fashion week concluded early, so I rushed back to you” Elena replied, dropping her bags on the table.
“Oh I missed you” she continued, drawing a chair for herself.
“So what happened, hit me with it” she added crossing her legs.
Daria took in a deep breath “Nicholas and I are together now” she dropped news, eyes wide and grinning.
Elena paused, calculating what she just heard. “You are what?!!” She exclaimed, her eyes shot wide open.
“I know it happened so fast, we we're stock on the yacht, we had s*x and now I am in love with him” Daria said quickly.
“I thought you hated him” Elena asked excited and confused. “I know but now I love him” Daria replied scratching the back of her head.
“This good news, I can't believe this” Elena happily clinged unto Daria.
“Wait you had s*x” she suddenly let go of Daria, remembering Daria's earlier rambling.
Daria nodded on response, “already?” She asked again keeping Daria at arms length.
“Oh my darling is a grown woman now” she took Daria into her arms and patted her head.
“Don't treat me like a child” Daria protested, wriggling out of her arms and straightening her clothes.
“Was it good?” Elena asked staring at Daria like an eager child. “I am not releasing such information” Daria refused sitting back down on her seat.
“But we have to celebrate” Elena suggested excited. “No” Daria replied immediately.
“I have work to do” she said facing her computer and randomly typing.
“You don't have a choice I'll come pick you up tonight” Elena insisted leaning over the computer.
“Did you come straight from the airport?” Daria asked, noticing the suitcase left stranded at the door.
“Maybe” Elena replied rolling her eyes, “but that is beside the point, me, you, party tonight” she pointed at the two of them.
“Byeee I love you girl” she added as she walked to the door and grabbed her suitcase and left.
Daria smiled as she shaked her head when the door closed. “Crazy girl” she said returning her attention to her computer.
