Chapter 16

***In mark's room.

Arrggghhh,he yelled scattering the room he was in,he was think about ethan and why he had to come into the room at the second,he felt like destroying him.

He received a phone call which cut his thoughts short.

How was it,the caller said.

It didn't go well,mark said angrily.

What,i thought you gave her the drink,the caller said.

Yes of course,i gave it to the drink server to give it specially to her and i was there when she drank it whole but it didn't have any effect on her,mark said angrily.

What are you saying,what is that possible... that drink is the most effective drugs,it makes one sleep for like a whole day so you can't tell me she was unaffected by the drugs,the caller said.

And i am telling you it had no effect on her,if you can't do this one thing what exactly are you good at,mark yelled and the caller was silent.

She didnt drink it,the caller said after a long pause.

How are you sure about that?,i saw her drink it with my own eyes,mark said.

What if it was switched,the glasses were mixed up and the got the wrong drink,the caller said and mark thought about it.

It would have taken effect on her,that drug takes effect quickly and she wouldn't have being in her right state of mind,the caller said.

You may be right,I'll try and find out what happened,mark said and disconnected the

call thinking about what he said.

That means she didn't have the drink,or it didn't take an effect on her,did someone exchange the drinks,he thought.

He went out from his room and went to order a maid to clean his messed up room,as he was about leaving the palace he heard a voice he wished could dissapear from the world.

Mark,Ethan called.

What do you want?,mark asked.

I want you to stay as far as possible away from lilo ,Ethan said and mark chuckled.

Oh here lover boy is fighting for his love,well let me tell you something lilo will and can never be yours,if i don't have her no one will,mark said and left the palace.

***In Ethan's room.

Lilo had her dinner and was ready to sleep but she was uncomfortable as she was taking someone's space in their own room.

Hope am not inconveniencing you ,she asked as she sat on the bed.

Not at all,he said.

Where will you sleep?,she asked.

I sleep on the couch,he said and she looked unhappy and he noticed it.

It's okay you have the bed,by the way am used to it,he said and she nodded finally going to sleep.

***

The morning came quickly and when lilo woke up from her sleep,there was no one in the room except from her.

She sat down on the bed and the first thing that came to her head was her first kiss with her bodyguard.

It was beyond romantic,she thought.

It was like every bad thing that happened to her yesterday,mark,the bruises and the head injury couldn't match up to her first kiss.

She quickly stood up from the bed and went forward to the mirror,she looked at the bruises on her skin which were almost diminished but weren't clearly visible to the eye.

The only injury one could see clearly was the injury at the side of her head which she covered now with her hair.

Almost immediately ethan came to the room with a slight frown which didn't go unnoticed by her but she didn't say anything.

Good morning princess,he said.

I would like to use my room now if it isn't of use to you again,he said and she frowned.

Why is he talking like this,she thought.

Are you okay?,she asked and he didn't answer so she was leaving the room with a sad face.

She was about opening the door when he said "can you pretend nothing happened between the both of us yesterday",he said and she was shocked but she didn't say anything and left the room.
