Drunk Owen...

Owen was quiet for sometime before she looked back at Zack.

" I will help you... For one reason." Owen said.

Zack looked at her with his beaming eyes " And that is?"

" You have to promise that you will never, ever hurt my mother." Owen answered.

" I promise." Zack replied.

" Then let's think of a plan." Owen said as she looked outside.

Zack followed her eyes then he noticed a black car packed outside then he frowned.

Then he told Owen " Why don't you talk to your mom?"

" And you think that my mom will agree with me." Owen asked looking at him.

" Yes...Maybe, then what should we do?" Zack asked fustrated.

" I will meet Mr. Flin." Owen said.

" To speak to him...about what???" Zack panicked for no reason.

" To tell him to stay away from my mother." Owen stood up then she walked away.

She was standing by the bus stop waiting for the bus, when she received a call from Ryu.

She hesitated the before she answered the call.

" Heyyy...Ryu." she said .

" Where are you?" Ryu asked,he was standing just next to her.

" Hmmmm ...I...just walked out for a stroll." Owen lied.

" Really with a taxi." Ryu said.

" Amm... What???" Owen replied.

" Where are you?" Ryu asked again.

" I...I am coming I just thought of going out to see Florida a bit,I would be back very soon." Owen said.

" Okay." With that Ryu ended the call, he entered his car and drove passed Owen.

She stood there for a while before she called someone.

" Heyyy... Owen, why are you calling me all of a sudden?" The person asked from the other end.

" Come pick me up." She ordered.

" What??...Are you in Florida?" The boy asked.

" Yes."

" Okayyyy, I am on my way. Don't you leave where you are." The person said excited.

"Waitt..." Before Owen could say anything else the boy had already kept the call.

She shaked her head.

Ryu parked the car in front of a mansion, he climbed down, then he walked into the mansion. A maid who was standing outside immediately spotted him, then she ran away looking scared.

Ryu walked into the lobby, he had this deadly look and aura. He was greeted by Kim, who was waiting for him. His father had called him telling him that he wanted to see all the family members, well surprisingly he wasn't lying all his family members were here waiting for his father.

" Sir." Kim greeted him with a bow, he wasn't like the Kim,who used to play or joke around. He was serious and wasn't smiling at all.

" Ryu!" A girl with a pink hair which didn't fit her at all called. She was his adopted cousin.

Ryu didn't even notice her, he just leaned in a dark corner. He then dialled a number, the phone ringed for sometime before the person picked up. Then Owen's voice echoed through out the room.

" Hi, Ryuichi!"

Ryu smiled as he asked " Where are you?"

" With a friend." She answered, he could clearly hear the music and voices from the background. Ryu massaged in between his brows as he frowned.

" Boy or girl." He asked trying to hide his jealous voice.

" Boy...why are you asking?" Owen answered.

That's when Ryu's father came down stairs, but immediately Ryu said " Wait there I am coming to pick you up."

Before Owen could protest he had already ended the call as he walked away signalling Kim to follow him.

Kim gave a smirk towards Ryu's family.

* Do you guys think my boss we'll stay here and listen to your nonsense... When his woman is with another man.*

Ryu's father looked at Ryu, then he called his Butler who was standing behind him.

" Find out who that girl is."

" Yes, sir."

---

Owen was sitting with her friend as she took a glass of snotch.

" Wowww... Owen take it easy with the drinking." The boy said as he tryed to take the bottle away from her.

" How dare he try to control me... He behaves like an old hag. First of all, he made himself my personal gaurd, then he started controlling my life like my late grandfather. And he wears a mask, even though he can cook he makes me feel like I am useless and can't cook. Like I didn't tell him to cook for me!..." Owen lamented, she was so drunk. " Even if he knows how cook, I don't like him cooking his a bad chef and what If he hurts himself and he mistakenly cuts his hands off. He is so precious, but ugly at the same time. His mother is so nice, funny, caring and beautiful, while her son is so cold, ugly, aloof, prideful, rude, arrogant and stupid. Like who cooks for a girl, even though the best husband material is someone who knows how to cook,I am not his wife!!"

* Who is she talking about?*

Owen looked up then she spotted Ryu watching her, he was leaning by the doorway. The boy traced her eyes to where Ryu was.

" Niki, why is he here?... Or maybe I am dreaming." Owen whispered.

Ryu sighed as he walked towards her, when he stood in front of her. she stood up and touched his mask.

" Hmm... I am not dreaming..." With that she blacked out.

Ryu carried her in a bridal style then he walked away.

" Wait!" Niki cal

led.

Ryu stopped as he turned around, he stared at Niki.

Ryu stopped as he turned around to look at him with his eyes boring a hole into Niki's eyes.

" Are you the first son of the Norman's family?" Niki asked.

Ryu narrowed his eyes, he stared at Owen's face before he looked back at Niki then he answered " Yeah."

" Oh my god... I am a big fan... do you have a personal assistant or secretary. I had studied business management back at school... and I presently looking for a job!!" Niki almost screamed, he was a big fan of Ryu and now he has finally seen his idol. He loves Ryu's way of authority and dealing with enemies, he had first heard of him from Robin. At that moment Ryu was wanted by the whole world but suddenly disappeared, nobody knew where he was or where he had gone to. That was seven years ago and till date no one has heard of him.

So he was kinda of surprised to see him here and that to pick Owen up...that means that.

Owen was talking about Ryu along, so the person who Owen was insulting and slandering was the great Mafia Lord Norman!!!.

Was she crazy or she was on drugs?

Ohhhh...yeah she was drunk.

Ryu looked at Niki as if he was looking at a fool, well Niki was bothered he had expected this kind of reaction from the MLN.

" You don't have to agree immediately, me and Owen have known each other for twelve years now. And I senior her but she has a job and I don't, she feels so sorry for me but she can't do anything for me." Niki faked a tear. Ryu looked at him with disgust before he turned around smoothly then he walked away.

Niki noticed this and tried to chase after him, but he ended up losing him,he sighed at his luck.

...

The next morning.

Owen woke up with a serious headache, she held her head in pain as she sit up.

" Ahh... why do my hurt so much? How much did I drink last night?" She said to herself as she tried to recall what had happened last night.

And that's when everything dawn on her, Owen snapped her eyes open as she slapped her forehead.

" What did I do?!"

Ryu was downstairs with his laptop studying some of the paperworks sent by Kim.When Owen walked down the stairs, he didn't even look up at her.

Owen held her head in pain as she climbed down from the stairs.

" Good morning." Ryu greeted without looking at her.

Owen stopped as she looked at him, her face was red.

" Hey...I am hungry." She said.

" The kitchen is located over th

ere." Ryu pointed out.
