Chapter 4

Sia needed a new therapist since the last one suddenly quit and left town. Kenneth pulled some strings, made Sia and vanessa meet and just as he planned, Sia liked Vanessa alot. V.R had to hire her for Sia's happiness. He'd do anything to keep her happy.

V.R loved his family more than anything so he kept them away for their safety. He couldn't risk It. She could be a spy. His only condition for Vanessa to be able to work here was to live-in. Yes, live-in.

It was hard to let a stranger In his home but for Sia he would do anything. Even If he let Sia have her way, he wasn't just letting a total stranger In his teritory without a background check run on her. So he did Run one.

He got Nothing much just that she's an Orphan, raised In an Orphanaged and was kicked out when she clocked 18. She had to fend for herself and was currently staying In a hostel with her bestfriend Anna.

She Is skilled In work and helps people In every little way possible. She also does Therapy. There was nothing fishy about her so he was okay with her staying. She looked Innocent after all that anybody would conclude that she was harmless but he knows more than that. How the Innocent faced people are used for this kind of business was nothing new to him.

Vanessa agreeded to his condition and moved In the next morning.

She was given a room and she settled In.

She was about to get In the shower when she noticed her ring was still on her finger. She took It off and placed It carefully on the dresser like It was going to shatter If anything did happen.

She had a quick Shower and put her clothes on. She wasn't sitting Indoor all day so she decided to walk around to see the mansion.

She put her Sandals on and was headed towards the door when she saw her ring still on the dresser.

She walked to the dresser, picked the ring up and studied It closely.

The top looked like a locket. It can actually be opened.

She tried to open It and It did open. That was when she saw a tiny piece of folded paper. She opened It and there In It was a picture of her and Ken. It was taken when they both went on a picnic.

She was laughing with her hair moving In the direction of the wind. Her eyes closed, mind at ease. Her face Sunkissed.

Ken was staring at her with love visible In his eyes. His love for her. She had no Idea he was looking at her or that a picture was been taken. They both where so happy and free minded then.

She smiled at the memory.

"Well the cop can be a little romantic "

"I had no Idea that this was taken". She chuckled. She wiped the tear drop that was about to fall down her cheek.

"Everyone here thinks I'm a single lady and I can't risk It, So... you are better of hidden." She didn't want to just keep It somewhere,she wanted It around her always. That's when an Idea came to mind

"Around my neck would do for now Just not on my finger Okay." "I'm Sorry..." She spoke more to the ring than to herself.

She took of the chain around her neck, Slid her ring In It, wore It back and put It her dress to stay hidden. She looked at her reflexion In the mirror, breath out and smiled.

She walked to the door and held the knob

"Lets do this" and with her head held up she opened the door and walked out.

I met Vanessa earlier today and surprised her with a Ring. I gave her a make-up kit.

A make-up kit Is what It Is to the public's eye.

Its a transmitter. A means of communication between Us. I know that with Vanessa In V.R's territory we can not be careless. One wrong move and the game's going to burst.

"So how does this work Ken?" Vanessa asked. I took It from her hand and started fixing them In place.

"You put this brush looking thing In here, by the side" I placed the first brush In.

"This One In here, and this here. Then you can say anything to me"

"Even an I love you" she asked

I pinched her nose and she chuckled.

"You can't just use It at anytime or you could get caught"" By the way I know that already" I smiled down at her.

"You can call me at anytime Babe and I'll hear you. And yh, If you feel like you're In any problem or your cover Is about to get blown just call me and I'll be there. You don't have to be under pressure first. The slightest guess that you are almost getting caught, you call and I'll do anything to get you out of there. I'll be there always, on time" I gave her a geniune and the warmest smile I could.

"So I'm not going to be seeing you any time soon" She asked. Her demanour was changing. Her spirit was going low.

She tried to keep her voice as normal as possible but she couldn't. Seeing the most Jovial girl I know this way hurt.

Keeping the make-up kit on the table, I pulled her to my chest for a hug. She melted In and hugged me back. Her head on my chest.

"I love the Ring" "Thanks Ken"

"You deserve It"

The air surrounding us was too low and I hated It.

"Wanna go to the park, eat out or maybe do something else?"

She looked up at me

"Lets get out of here" and then she smiled.
