David smiled inwardly, while his face still looked flat and cold as he read the short message Elizabeth had sent him about the condition of the girl in his apartment.
'Good, you'd better obey and be a sweet little cat,' he muttered to himself.
When he saw Alina asleep on the floor on his surveillance camera. David immediately contacted Elizabeth who was in her grandmother's mansion to take care of the girl. Because he can't go back to the apartment. There is work to be done and it is urgent.
David is currently sitting in his private plane seat. He'll be flying to California soon.
Edward was his trusted friend. And his representative in the ARL Chapo who is known to people as the head of the ARL Chapo sits in front of him.
David will check on his company in California while monitoring Edward who will take care of the transaction ARL Chapo.
In addition, Edward will discuss the problem of David's marijuana fields in Vietnam while in California with one of Chapo's ARL affiliates there.
ARL Chapo must remain cautious in light of the information provided by ARL Chapo's spies in the government a few days ago.
"Sir, we'll take off shortly," Edward warned.
David nodded, then turned off his phone and put it back in his suit pocket.
It wasn't long before the plane they were on took off and flew towards California.
David was silent and chose to stare out the window of the plane, with his mind floating somewhere. But his mind was only thinking about one thing.
The girl.
Her name is Alina Ramon.
Two days have passed, and David did not return to the apartment, this allowed Alina to breathe a sigh of relief.
Without David. He tries to find a way back out, escapes Elizabeth's surveillance, and tries to get out of this apartment but fails. All his efforts ended in vain.
Now he can only sit in the living room while turning on the television to kill his boredom.
However, everything is still Alina's eyes are not focused on the television screen, she just daydreams.
Alina hopes that she will have the courage to fight David later if she returns to do something like that again. Alina doesn't want to be a bitch who has to serve someone's lust.
'Why should I be stuck in a situation like this?!' his mind is reeling.
Elizabeth looked at the dreamy-looking Alina in front of the television. At least he knew a little bit about how the girl felt. Because several times Elizabeth heard him muttering annoyed and disliked his young master.
Elizabeth understood that. David is known for being very cold and cruel, especially in his black world. He will not hesitate to kill anyone, especially his enemies. No one can fight a David.
The blood has been passed on to all members of the Romano family. David is no different from his grandfather. David was even meaner than his grandfather, Arnold Romano.
Elizabeth followed the Romano family for a long time when she was a teenager. So he already knows how the ins and outs of the Romano family, especially David.
Elizabeth even took care of him as a baby with Luisa when Lucia left David when he was going to travel. She's not a good mother.
Ever since he was a baby David has looked handsome and very adorable.
Elizabeth closed her eyes foreshadowing those times, but the incident that happened to David took away all the smiles on her face, and Elizabeth never saw a stunning smile from David again until now.
Elizabeth took a deep breath before finally deciding to approach Alina and ask her to talk. Elizabeth felt that maybe Alina needed a friend to talk to.
"Miss!" he cried slowly and then he asked permission to sit next to Alina.
Alina was a little surprised but immediately neutralized her surprise.
"I already told you, don't Call Me Miss, I'm not used to that call," she said without prejudice to her respect for people older than her. Because Elizabeth still calls him Madam.
Elizabeth smiled in response. "All Right, Alina."
Then Elizabeth and Alina talked about everything. At least he has a friend to talk to.
"Actually Mr. Romano is nice, it's just that you don't understand him yet," Elizabeth said as they began to talk about David.
Alina shook her head slowly, then exhaled heavily.
"I'm afraid, Elizabeth, what should I do?" he asked desperately.
Elizabeth could not answer Alina's question. Because he was confused, he didn't know what to do.
***
It was night, and Alina could not sleep yet. He could still relax because David had not returned. And Elizabeth said goodbye this afternoon because she had something to do at Luisa's mansion.
I hope he never comes back here!' he exclaimed inwardly.
Now Alina is on the veranda of the apartment and gazes at the beauty of the burning city lights.
This is his favorite place to be while he's here. He could see the city clearly and the stars at night. Only this place makes him comfortable.
Alina clung to the balcony railing and closed her eyes for a moment and breathed in the deep air, with the wind hitting her face.
Everything felt so peaceful and Alina almost forgot about the problems she was facing. Then he slowly opened his eyes and looked at one of the brightest stars.
"Do I have to see you guys?" she murmured.
Alina took a deep breath, then she looked down. The place stands very high and far from the ground.
"If I fall down, I will die immediately. Even my body will be instantly shattered into pieces," he exclaimed by reviewing a satirical smile.
Alina caught her breath again and then breathed out slowly.
Alina held the balcony railing tightly. He tried to climb the fence with a hand that began to shake violently. There is still doubt in him. But he tried to get rid of it.
'Maybe this is the only way for me,' he murmured to himself.
Now not only Alina's hands were shaking, but her whole body was shaking. Looking down there made Alina's stomach seem to be stirred, plus the wind was now starting to blow harder.
Too many things that hurt his heart made him decide to end his life.
There is no safe place for him or her to take refuge.
What does she live for, if she feels pain in her heart constantly.
Tired, Alina was no longer able to.
Her tears began to run down her cheeks. He began to sob.
"I'm sorry I let you down," she sobbed softly with his hands still gripping the fence.
"I never made you happy," she said softly again. "I can't be your pride."
Alina began to close her eyes, gathering her courage to jump from this high floor.
