The Diamonds

Episode Five

"No! No! Get off me!" Eva yelled in great fear as her heartbeat raced.

She began to hit him but he held both of her hands pinning them above her head while his other hand got busy.

"No please.. Please don't do this, please." Eva pleaded as heavy tears poured down her cheeks.

She seriously wouldn't be able to stand the trauma if he ever succeeded in what he was about to do.

"Please I beg of you. Don't hurt me." Eva cried.

"Help!" She yelled and he let go of her hands slapping her hard across the cheek.

“Ahh!" Eva cried at the stinging pain.

"I asked you to keep shut " He growled and punched her gut.

The upper part of her dress got ripped as she shrieked in fear.

"Please don't do this... please.." she cried heavily.

"HEY! GET YOUR HANDS OFF HER!" He suddenly heard a voice and Eva gasped as a renewed sense of hope enveloped her.

**

"Fvck!" Andrew grunted running his fingers through his hair.

"Why the he.ll is my car becoming so faulty?." He groaned getting out of the car to check it out when he heard screams.

Not just any type....it was a lady screaming for help.

Huh?

He began to approach the direction of the scream when he saw them.

A man was trying to take advantage of a girl.

"Hey! Get your hands off her!" Andrew snapped rushing to him as the man got off in shock and tried running off but wasn't lucky enough to run fast as Andrew caught him by the shirt and sent blows at his miserable face .

"Coward!" Andrew yelled pushing the man away and he ran off.

He quickly turned to go check up on the girl as she was in deep tears clutching to her torn dress.

"Hey...it's okay now.. he's gone." Andrew cooed reassuringly as he looked at her face to get a big shocker.

It's the same girl he had helped earlier that afternoon.

**

Oh God!

Her hero came back to her and she looked at him to see he was the same guy that afternoon and Eva’s heart leapt in surprise.

"My word!. You?.. you...what are you doing out this late?" He asked in shock as Eva sniffed.

No!

She seriously couldn't afford to lie at that moment.

It was no longer safe out there for her.

"I...I don't have a home." Eva soberly replied as hot tears formed in her eyes, running down her cheeks freely and he wore a crumpled look.

"You mean you live in the streets.?" He asked with a tone of shock and she nodded heavily.

"I'm sorry I lied. I am so scared. Please help me." Eva pleaded as more of her tears flowed endlessly.

"Gosh! It's all right now. I will help you...I promise." Andrew assured and she stared at him in shock.

"Really?"

"Yes ..but for now,we need to get you out of here. My car's over there." He replied and helped her up on her feet as she held on tight to her already torn dress.

Andrew paused, staring at Eva for a moment before taking off the hoodie he was wearing and made her pull it on.

It felt cosy and Eva felt a lot safer..with him.

***

Andrew tried the car again and it picked up just right.

He then glanced at the girl who was seated by his side before speeding off into the night.

He really hoped and prayed that Miguel wouldn't get mad if he brought her home but for now...she needed help.

Eva was glad.

Thank goodness he had arrived at that time else....it would be a different story by now.

The ride was long and finally the car rolled into the premises through a large black gate but she didn't see any houses. Instead she saw rows of beautiful flowers and numerous trees.

Beautiful street lights lighted up the place and up ahead ,Eva saw a beautiful silver gate.

They had almost approached it when it slowly began to open on its own.

Whoa!

Her mouth dropped open in awe as she gawped at the large beautiful premises with a mansion much larger than hers back in Nigeria.

There were rows of flowers,a small pond with a fountain situated at the middle of the premises made right out of gold!.

The car stopped in a beautiful car park having three flashy cars.

Wow!

"C'mon...let's go." Eva heard him say as he alighted the car and turned over to open her side.

She carefully stepped out and he closed the door.

"You live here?" Eva asked.

"Yeah.."

"Alone!?" She asked open-eyed and he chuckled.

"No. Not really. Com'on." He began to move ahead as she walked behind him admiring the entire place

They both arrived in the living room and as expected,they had all been waiting for Andrew.

"Andrew.... Where have you been?"Jerad asked as Andrew sighed.

"Around.."

He noticed they stared at the girl he had come with deeply.

"Who is she? And why is she looking like that?" Daniel asked, raising a curious brow.

"Look guys,she needs our help. I will explain later but first ..we need to settle her in." Andrew replied and they obviously felt really uncomfortable with it.

Eva…

It was as if she was right inside heaven and standing before two effing hot angels!.

Like seriously!?

"Com'on.. follow me." Her hero said and she nodded gently sparing the two guys a short glance before they both headed up a long beautiful stairs and passed a few doors before entering a room.

No doubt,it was stunning and she released a really quiet gasp.

The room was so big and cool!

Hers’ in Nigeria was a complete counterfeit.

"Make yourself comfortable. I will have the maids get you something to eat and some clothes." Andrew notified and Eva beamed.

"Thank you so much.. you've really helped me a lot." She appreciated with a neat smile and he mirrored it too.

"Welcome."

With that,he left the room.

Eva glanced around excitedly.

Finally!

A place to rest.

Eva quickly headed for the bathroom for a tough bath.

She hasn't really taken a bath in days now and she needed to wash off that animal's touch off her body.

****

Andrew had a maid take up some clothes from his room to the girl and some food too.

And as for Daniel and Jerad,they didn't take their eyes off him for a moment.

"Mwo? [What]" Andrew asked accidentally letting his Korean tongue slip in and he arched a brow as Daniel stood up.

"Andy.... are you thinking straight? How come you just came in with a girl who we do not know from Adam and just decided to let her stay here?" He asked in awe and Andrew sighed.

"Look, Andy.... Daniel is totally right. We all know Miguel wouldn't want to hear of it. About a girl living here now."Jerad added.

"Guys...y'all have to help me. Please...that girl almost got r*ped as a result of her living in the streets. I had to help her. Probably,if we come together, we will be able to convince Miguel to let her stay." Andrew pleaded and they sighed.

"Fine ..we will support you but...we have to know who she is." Daniel conditioned.

"Fine by me.. where's Miguel at?" Andrew asked.

"His secret room." Jerad sighed.

Hmm...

****

Two maids earlier arrived in the room with some clothes and food as Eva ate to her fill.

She decided to pull on the clothes they brought when she found out they were fancy t-shirts for boys.

Eva deeply inhaled the shirt as it had the strong cologne of her hero.

She smiled and decided to pull on the red one which was covering enough.

She glanced at the injury she had gotten earlier today...it was still fresh and hurting.

Aish!

Her eyelids became too heavy and she climbed up the bed and laid down drifting off to sleep.

••••

Morning...

••••

They all sat down to have breakfast but without Miguel.

He didn't come down in time.

"Andrew,how is she?" Jerad asked.

Well,he had to admit,he was concerned.

"She's fine I guess. I haven't really checked up on her this morning." Andrew replied gently.

"I do hope Miguel takes the news of her being here lightly." Daniel hoped.

"What news?.."

They all heard his cold voice.

Miguel's voice.

They all looked up from their plates, turning their head to look at him as he stared at them expressionlessly.

"I am asking...what news?" He repeated.

Just then, they heard someone alighting the stairs and looked in the direction to see her!

Miguel immediately read their expression and furrowed his brows.

He turned to see what they were staring at and his entire body stiffened.

Uh-oh…

**. **.

Eva had woken up feeling really refreshed and happy.

Yeah!

Eva got off the bed carefully as she looked around the room.

She really hadn't noticed how pretty it was due to how exhausted she was.

The white furniture made a great spice to the room decor and she sighed contentedly.

She felt…safe.

Eva began to wait for so long for any maid or her hero to show up but it was almost impossible.

Like everyone had gotten really busy to remember her.

Taking the bull by the horns and Eva decided to exit the room.

She got to the stairs and saw four guys at the dining area but one had his back against her.

They all pulled on a stunned expression when they even laid their eyes on her and suddenly,the other guy who had his back against her turned and their gazes met like two chemicals that weren't meant to touch.

Eva felt a wobbly feeling in her legs as she held the stair railing for support.

Gosh!

He…he …

Wow!

He was the same guy she had seen on TV!

Leader of the Korean Diamond Boy Band.

Jeez!

She clutched her chest in surprise as he stared at her deeply.

Like she was something he wasn't meant to see.

Like he could perfectly dissect her body with just that look.

"Who is she?" Miguel asked but with a very cold tone that sent really terrible chills down Eva's spine.

She gulped heavily.

"I ASKED WHO THE H*LL SHE IS!?" He thundered and Eva flinched in shock.

"Please Miguel,I can explain.." Andrew said as he stood up.

Miguel was silent as Eva could feel his gaze boring holes in her skin.

Ugh!

She really wished there could be a way she could disappear from his mean gaze totally.

Eva glanced at her hero who she noticed signalled her to go back to where she came from and she quickly nodded, rushing back to the room.

Once she was back in,she released the breath she never realised she was holding.

She felt the pace of her heart beat which was so powerful and she sighed.

She has never felt that intimidated because of a guy before….. never.

But him,ugh!..

It was different.

Something else!

****

Andrew was glad that she had left already.

"You'd better start talking Andrew." Miguel drawled.

"Miguel,... you really have got to calm down and understand. I saw her almost getting abused last night and I decided to help her out. It was then I found out that she had no home to live in but the streets. I felt her plight honestly and had to help." Andrew explained and the silence was too thick.

"Andrew…" Miguel called and scoffed.

“You brought in a girl without even telling anyone. Not even me?!" Miguel demanded as he tried keeping his voice at bay but the upsetting look he had on betrayed his aim as he had turned to look at Andrew who signed deeply.

"Please Miguel…you've got to understand me. I could get her out of here soon if you don't like the idea of her living with us." Andrew assured and Miguel didn't say anything more.

He gave them a quick short glance before storming out of the house.

****

Eva laid on the bed biting her nails intensively.

Gosh!

She really wondered what was going on out there.

If only she had stayed put in the room!

The door suddenly opened and Eva quickly sat up as he walked in.

Her hero..

Gosh,she loved calling him that.

"Hey…" He cooed and sat down next to her.

"Good morning." Eva greeted softly and he smiled.

"Did you sleep well?" He asked and she nodded.

Eva noticed how he glanced at the injury she had sustained the previous day and she tried to conceal it.

"You're hurt…you never mentioned it." He said reaching to touch her skin which sent a terrible signal coursing through her body and she bit her lower lip.

"I'll have one of the maids treat it." He offered and Eva grinned.

"Thanks a lot." She appreciated with a light smile.

"I'm Andrew by the way." He introduced and she arched her brows.

"Huh?"

He chuckled.

"Andrew…." He recapped.

"Oh. Right. Andrew…" Eva affirmed and he exposed his fine dentition.

"What about yours? Mind telling me your name?" He asked and she smiled.

"Eva…"

"Eva?. Sounds sweet" he complimented and she felt her cheeks burn up.

“Any native name? You're from here right?" He queried and Eva felt her heart thump heavily.

"N..not really." She replied truthfully and he was mute for so long that it sent chills down her spine.

"B..but I do have a native name." Eva spluttered.

“Kim Yoo…" she whispered as the thought of her mum clouded her head.

“That's a cute one.." Andrew complimented and she really couldn't hold herself from blushing at his compliment.

"We will talk later alright?. I'll send down your meal and also….new clothes." He notified staring deeply at her.

"Thanks a lot." Eva only muttered as he nodded getting on his feet and began to make his way out.

She suddenly had a thought about what must have happened back in the living room.

"Andrew…?" Eva called cautiously,standing up and he stopped walking with his back against her.

"Am...am I still accepted here?" She asked in a stutter and he craned his neck to gaze at her.

"Forget about that Eva. Just feel.. free."

With that,he left.

Gosh!

Eva flopped back on the bed.

She had so many questions but she really did hope they would be able to help her while she was there till she was able to find a way to get back to Nigeria.

Luckily,she had the photograph and travel documents in her tights the previous night so they were now safe with her.

But thinking about that guy …the one with the cold expression….

She had seen him sing on TV and he was known to be the leader of the Korean Boy Band that her schoolmates back at home has always been talking about.

She gasped as the realization hit her hard.

Goodness!

She was living right inside their mansion!.

She was with the popular Diamonds!

“O my goodness!" Eva exclaimed in shock and her cheeks heated up like crazy.

She had really thought they were as rude as people gossiped but,they were the complete opposite.

Well .. except for the leader.

Hmm…

Eva got off the bed and headed for the bathroom.

Her crazy injury that was gotten as a result of that crazy driver was really aching so bad.

Gosh!

****

"I'll go speak with Miguel. He must be terribly mad at me." Andrew said and they shrugged.

"But Bruh...that girl is totally one good package yuuno." Jerad teased and Andrew glared at him.

"Don't even think of it Jerad. You still have Dayne to toy with. Leave her alone." Andrew warned and Jerad chuckled.

"Don't mind him Andrew. Just go speak with Miguel while I order some new clothes for her." Daniel offered.

"Thanks. I know you are always thinking straight unlike Jerad." Andrew sighed.

"Hey! Don't say that!" Jerad snapped and they laughed.
