Chapter 244 - 244: Stay

Daniella anxiously looked around. She had transferred all the woman's body in the toilet while Kim's body was still on the bed.

She walked closer to the door and leaned her ear on it, she could hear faint chattering outside. Then she opened the door halfway while her body blocked the space.

"Excuse me. Mr Kim asked for you all to leave."

The man who was twice taller than Daniella looked down at her with a serious face. She could hear how loyal he was and how suspicious he was to her.

"Would you like Mr Kim to come here and tell it himself?" she rose a brow while her head slightly turned to look inside, "Mr Kim, seems like your bodyguard would like you to report to him. Should I let him in?"

The man's eyes swelled, he quickly shook his head and then shouted, "it is fine Mr Kim. We will leave now. Please don't forget that Mr Yato is coming soon."

After the guards left the hallway, Daniella immediately went to the fire exit.

Halfway to the stairs, she saw Evan running upstairs.

"Evan."

"Daniella."

They both called each other names at the same time and the same surprise tone.

"What are you doing here?" she asked in surprised. Suddenly anxious by how revealing her clothes were especially her Bob red hair.

"Your friend said you need help so I came here. Are you hurt?"

Evan rushed to her, his hands on her arms twisted her body side to side checking for wounds.

"I am fine but we need to leave. Some Yato guy is meeting Kim and if they found him dead in the room, they are going to lock down the whole city so we need to leave."

Daniella held Evan's wrists, ran downstairs and exited the place using the backdoor.

Peyton and Patrick were waiting for Daniella in the van, Allan was in the backseat, still unconscious.

When they saw Daniella running towards the car with Evan, Peyton swiftly opened the door.

"Are you alright?" Peyton with wide eyes scanned Daniella anxiously.

"Yes, but we need to leave. They are going to find Kim's body soon and they have our fingerprints in the room. If we don't leave the country now, they will find us."

After that explanation, Daniella turned to Evan.

"Do you want to come with us?"

Evan shook his head. Ken was still in the casino and if he left he was afraid that Jared would do something bad to him.

"Ken is here and I can't leave him alone."

Daniella understood the situation, so she nodded and smiled at him.

"Alright. I will send Robert and Scott here to make sure that you two will leave the country unharmed. What are you doing!" Daniella moved away when Evan suddenly grabbed her chin with his palm and leaned closer for a kiss.

Evan tilted his head in confusion. He just missed her that was why he wanted to kiss her even for a short time.

"Ahm… kissing you?"

Daniella scoffed, with disbelief look on her face, she crossed her arm over her chest and shook her head, "kiss me? Don't you think I didn't know about Camille? How dare you ask for a kiss when you let her live in the villa again!"

Evan's lips parted in shock. A line appeared in between his brows as he tried to remember the message she sent.

"But you sent me a message that I should continue or you will kill me," he said and came into the car uninvited, then shut the door.

Daniella let out a loud laugh, "get another man to decipher the code. I clearly said Continue and I will kill you. I said 'and' not 'or' Evan."

He could see the anger on her face. Evan gulped hard while sweat formed on his forehead.

"well. It's a misunderstanding. I will figure it out."

Daniella rolled her eyes on him and pointed at the door with her lips.

"Leave Evan."

"No, I am not leaving until your angry."

"Well then I guess we will stay here forever!" she blurted with big eyes.

Evan shrugged casually, "fine. I can stay here forever with you."

The two fought gazes, one was determined to throw the other out while the other was determined to stay.

"Oh please! I am not planning to stay here forever with you two bickering!" Peyton yelled and started the car.

As they drove out of the small street, Peyton carelessly turned the steering wheel to the right causing for Daniella's body to drop on Evan.

Evan smiled widely at Daniella.

"You know we won't have this misunderstanding if you just sent me a normal message."

Daniella narrowed her eyes at him, "this whole charade wouldn't have to happen if you just told me the truth from the beginning. Why did you have to break up with me!"

Evan fell into silence, eyes remained focused at her.

"I am sorry," he said eventually, "I wasn't thinking. I should have consulted you first."

This time, Daniella became silent. She thought he would fight back but instead, he apologized.

Evan sighed, he did really miss her but if she didn't want to be touched, he wouldn't force it.

"Fine but throw that woman out of my villa!"

"It's yours?" Peyton looked at her doubly through the rearview mirror, "really?"

Daniella kicked the back of Peyton's chair causing for the latter to curse at her

"You damn witch. After staying at my house for free, this is how you are going to pay me?" Peyton yelled.

"What pay? I just saved your ass back at the hotel room. Do you think that if Jared caught you, you would be here cursing at me!"

Peyton let out a sarcastic laugh and pressed the accelerator, "I wouldn't even be there if it weren't for you. You even brought my useless ex with us," then she threw Patrick a glance and said, "no offence but you are really useless."

"You cut and dyed my hair red. You venomous snake!"

"Oh come on, it looks good on you," Peyton's voice has changed into low and casual, "right Mr Su?"

Evan raised a hand to stroke Daniella's hair, "it's too bright but pretty," he commented and smiled.

Daniella became speechless. She just felt strange getting a compliment from him given the last conversation they had.

A phone rang, everyone looked at their phone and put it down except Evan.

"Its Ken."

After Evan placed the phone in his ear, Daniella leaned closer to listen to their conversation.

Evan smiled, having her close to him made him feel at ease.

But his smile soon faded when Ken spoke, "Evan the woman you bought in the auction. Jared said they will take her back after you use her. Where are you? She is in your room waiting for you."

Evan absently pressed the end button and pursed his lips together. The car fell into a deafening silence while Daniella turned to look at the side road they were passing.

"Daniella-" Evan stretched a hand and held Daniella's shoulder.

"Quiet. You are not leaving my sight until I kill that woman."
