Will she return with him?

"It's getting late. You should rest. Let me show you your room. Tomorrow I'll accompany you to look for a job." Harry led the way while happily speaking.

Arien followed behind him. It was a big villa. Even if it was much smaller than the one Devian owned, it was still enough for a big family to reside in. They walked to the first floor. Suddenly something caught her attention. She glanced inside the room through the half opened door. It was the master bedroom. At the bedside table there was a photo of her. She entered into the room and looked at it closely.

Yes, it was her in the photo. She was smiling brightly. She turned her head towards her left and saw many other frames hanging on the wall. She was there in every photo, smiling brightly as ever.

Unconsciously, she smiled looking at the photos.

Harry stood there leaning at the door. Seeing her smiling face his lips curved into a smile unknowingly. He walked towards her and wrapped his hands around her waist, only then Arien came back to her senses. She instinctively pushed him back.

"Why are you pushing me? Don't tell me that you don't remember me hugging you like this before. I thought you believe me now when I have confessed my feelings. Why are you still acting like you are considering me as a stranger?"

Harry said so much in just one breath as if he had prepared this speech long before.

Isn't this strange. Sudden entry of a man who claims to be Arien's lover. What will happen to the cold blooded Devian!

Harry again reached out to hold Arien.

"Stop" suddenly a cold voice echoed from behind. Harry turned to look who the person was, but there was no need for Arien to turn around to know who he was.

Harry was stunned "Devian Lyle, uh... you? Here?" Harry was chocked by his unfathomable aura.

"Can't I come to your house?" Devian spoke to Harry but his gaze was fixed at Arien.

He came forward, held Arien's wrist, and walked out. Harry was shocked.

"Where are you taking her?"Devian heard Harry's voice form behind.

"Why can't I take her?" he said without looking back.

Harry was infuriated with this attitude of Devian. He was just the director of a small company named 'Visight Innovative Company'. How could he act like the boss in front of the Young Master of Chester Corp.

"Because she is my woman so you can't take her. Besides who are you? Owner of a small company. You don't have the right to enter into my house like this."

Devian continued walking forward holding Arien's wrist as if Harry doesn't even exist.

Harry was frustrated and felt dishonored by Devian attitude.

"Who the f*ck this person thinks he is. I'll teach him a good lesson for what he did right now.

Devian walked out of the house and pushed Arien to the car. He leaned his body toward her, his whole weight was on his left arm resting on the car. She was stuck between Devian and the car. They were so close. She could feel his warm breath on her face and she subconsciously blushed.

He stared at her for a long time.

"Anywhere but at least not with you" he sneered and repeated Arien's words. Even though his face looked calm as usual his eyes were burning with anger and dissatisfaction.

"Wh...what are you doing" Arien spoke with her gentle voice. "What are you talking about?"

"Don't you remember?" Devian raised his eyebrows. "Seems like you will forget about the million dollar if I leave you to stay away even for a day."

"I said I'll pay you the money. Why are you following me like this. I remember everything about your favor but that doesn't mean you can keep me as a puppet with you." Arien raised her voice. Her words showed a sense of vexation and fear.

He pushed her inside the car in the passenger seat, seated himself and drove the car. Arien wanted to escape out but the door was locked and the car was already moving.

He stepped at the gas peddle drove the car furiously at a very high speed and Arien stared out of the window. None of them spoke a word to break the silence.

Finally the car stopped with a sudden break making a wailing sound in front of a beach. He walked and pulled Arien out.

It was the Sea Bay beach. The beach looked beautiful with the moonlight. But they were not in a mood to appreciate the beauty because of the stressed situation between them. Because of this the beautiful scene seemed horrible.

He pulled her to the beach.

"You wanted to stay away from me, didn't you?" He uttered those words and left.

Arien stood there dumbfounded. She didn't know what she did wrong. She just wanted to be free. Only because she didn't remember anything of the past did she stayed in his house. Now that she was well she wanted to live her live according to her own wish. She wanted to find out about herself. She didn't say that she would not pay him. It was just that she didn't want to drive back.

Seeing Devian's car departing she subconsciously bit her lips and clenched her hands. Deep down inside she felt...empty in her heart.

She sat on the sand and two crystal clear drops of tears rolled down her cheeks falling in the sand and disappearing.

"Hey girl! Have you lost your way home?"

As she heard those words her body became stiff. "Come we'll help you find your way back."

She stood up. She saw three plumpy man walking toward her with wobbling steps.

They seem to be drunkards.

As they approached her she took a step back. They stepped forward again. This time Arien took a step back, her leg hit a cliff and she fell on the ground. Her right leg was bleeding yet she tried to struggled to stand up.

The men were still approaching her

"Don't come near me. You will face the consequences." Arien shouted at the top of her voice hiding her fear.

"What will you do, lil girl?" Three of them laughed. "We are going to have a very good night isn't it boys? Let's take this little thing home end enjoy tonight." One of the man spoke loudly.

"I'll see who dares to touch her."

A shadow of a tall man was seen in the dark, not far away.

"Young man this is none of your business. Go back and don't indulge in our job or it'll not be a good decision." One of the man spoke blaringly. All three of them laughed.

"Oh! then let's see who dares to touch my girl"

My girl, really! You left her there and now you dare to say her 'My girl'.

Didn't he just drive back. Why's he back. To save me. No no no it is not him. I'm hallucinating!

The man stepped forward. His deep eyes, which was under his dark short hair, glinted under the moonlight.

He was fair and taller. He was slim, muscular, with a perfectly symmetrical face. He emitted an indestructible vibe.

He walked toward Arien. Their eyes fixed at each other.

"You should be back home by now. Why are you still wandering. You should be punished for this." He spoke sternly with utmost gentleness in his voice. Arien was fascinated with this voice.

"You drove...." She opened her mouth to say something but he pressed his thumb against her lips to stop her from saying further.

"We'll talk about these matters at home."

He continued in his gentle voice.

She nodded obediently and didn't say anything further.

Three of them being ignored badly, made them angrier. "Bastards go catch them" The head shouted but none of them stepped forward. They were choked by Devian's aura. Even the head that shouted right now didn't dare to step forward.

After a while, they somehow gathered the strength and pounced on him but Devian's actions were swift as a gust of wind and the three of them stumbled down at the same time.
