Bound Forever

Draco went to bed early on time, and I think I stood pretty well why he is so fast asleep. Thinking of the ring.

Why would Jane steal a ring? A ring? Oh my God. Repeating the words doesn’t make sense to me.

Jane could get a better ring for herself. Because she has the money. Jane was rich , like her dad gave her a share of his property. I mean why would she steal a ring when she could get one for herself.

Thinking of the ring also and her health. How do I find it to save her?

I was restless on the bed. I swing to both sides, changing position constantly. Sleep couldn’t be found close by, my little eyes were freed from the captivity of drowsiness. My eyes couldn’t tear off the ceiling as well. I decided to get off the bed instead. Maybe if I take a stroll outside the room, I would began to feel drowsy. I stood up tying the rope of my pink nightgown to my waist. I slide my feet into the slippers underneath the bed and made my way out. I slowly open the door to reduce the creaking sounds. I can’t disturb Draco from his sleep by this time, so I ought to be careful. After I got out, I also shuts it quietly behind me.

The nights seem so quiet and the winds were still. The moonlight shone onto my face as I walked to the aisles. I could see my reflection from the rail in the hallway.

Suddenly the calm wind, swept my hair across my face. I was enjoying the sweet nature. The breeze was cooling down to my soul. I shuts my beautiful eyes, letting the breezes into every holes on my skin.

” Nature is beautiful ” I smiled, lifting my head to the sky. The stars were dancing and smiling at me.

Out of the blue, I heard a sound and a shadow crawls out, out of nowhere. I saw the shadow sneakily out of the house slowly. It walked down from the stairs to the exit way.

” Who is that?” Fear crept up my skin. This interrupted the connection I was having with nature.

My eyes were fixed to the walking shadow, till it went out of the house. The light in the living room was always switched off when it is late. This is why I couldn’t notice the person who was walking like a thief by this time of the day.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

After the shadow disappeared from my sight. I quickly ran down steps, to see who it was. I followed the shadow out, while I was still smart doing it, if not I might get myself hurt if it’s truly a thief.

I continue and saw the shadow’s back it was a lady. Her hair drop down her back gently as she took the scarf soon after she was outdoors. It was a lady, I quickly held it again. Who could it be Amal? Or Juliana? I got stunned. In the middle of the street light, I was able to see who it was. My eyes bulged out in disbelief, what would she be doing out by this time? I mean where is she going to by this time?

I watched her as she ran to the roadside, stopping a taxi. In less than a minute she boarded a taxi and drove off.

Gradually the suspicion I have in mind were beginning to clarify.

It was getting so late at night, I walked back to our room after shutting all the doors.

“I decided not to think of anything, there were becoming too much already. My mind is so occupied and I need a break. I gulped down some water from the bed the I fell asleep after ward.

Draco woke up in the morning while I was still asleep. When I woke up I couldn’t find him but he left a note. Says I shouldn’t step out of the house and he would be back soon. Just have some business to take care of.

I dropped the paper back in the night stand after reading. Then I thought of something else. Now that he was away, it would be better I go out to find out about the ring. And where it could possibly be or who it could possibly be with.

I removed the sheet from my legs, I climbed out of the bed and held to bathroom. Quickly I took my bath, and dressed up. Taking my white handbag and the necessary stuff I need and well. Draco had always left me a guard ever since that stuff happened to me at Cassy party. I informed the guard about going out then he prepared the car, to make us go out.

I thought of where to go. That would be going to the hostel. I don’t know I might find something who knows. We were staying together in a room at the hostel. In that case I would check properly where she keeps her stuff, to see if I would find the ring. After thinking thoroughly, I got into the car from the back seat. While the guard got into the driver seat. He turned the engine on and drove off to my hostel also in Seattle.

Draco took out all his gun, with few bodyguards with him, going to seek thoroughly of what is going through. First on his mind how did Jessica died? He called out his guards he had instructed to find Jessica, including Danovo. They met in a hotel to discuss.

” Who killed her without my permission?” he interrogated holding his gun in with left hands close to his kneel, he paced around with anger swallowing the better part of him.

The guards were mute, no one dares to talk while he was still angry. Suddenly he called out the lead.

” Danovo” his voice sounds scaring and threatening.

” Yes boss” he stood up on the chair he was sitting and lower his heads. As he gave him feedback.

” How did this happen?” He asked with the bloodshot eyes, and his intense eyes contact.

” I don’t really know boss. We did exactly what you said, to find her. That is what we were doing before we saw on the news that she was murdered.” He explained, lying through his teeth.

” Hmm… “He gruff

” We need to find who did this. If I didn’t give the permission to kill her, no one dares to. So who is this damn person playing with fire?” He clenched his teeth.

” Sorry boss we would surely find out who did this” the rest of the guards mumbled, still had their heads low.

” Do your job well” he said with that scaring tone again.

Then he left them off to their job. Danovo on the other hands thinking of a plan, how to make Draco proud of him also not to make him suspect he was the culprit . He thought of who he could blame of killing her instead.

After an hour driver with the body guard, we stopped at the hostel. I asked him to wait for me outside, while I go in to search for what I was looking for. He parked the car in front of the house and stood in front of it. Watching or guiding. His eyes were more focused on the path I took while going into the hostel. I had my spare keys, so do Jane do. I got to our room and unlock the door. I walked in slowly, with some cobwebs over the place. I waved my hands in the air to avoid them touching my first. After I was sure it was free from cobwebs I moved further. Then I got to Jane’s cabinet where she do keep her stuff, most of her jewelries, make up, lips gloss and the like. I got my hands into it to search if I would find any ring at all. But to no avail, I couldn’t find one. I left the cabinet, and kneel to the ground as I lower my head underneath the bed, if I would also find anything, just like the ring but no. There was no ring in the house.

” When the heck is this ring if she has truly stolen it from that old man?” I stood up from the floor, sighing. I had started to secret water out of my skin, just because of this search. Yet there is nothing.

I was fed up and walked out of the room. Shutting the door behind me and of course locking it with the key pad. After I did, I made my way out of the house. I was walking down to where the guard was waiting for me. Then I saw someone called my name.

” Daniella…” A male voice. I instantly turned backwards to see who was calling me. It was Raymond. Jane’s make friend in college. I know that Jane was quite fond with someone in that school. Even though she wasn’t the type who could explain or expose her feelings, but I always see the expression on her face each time Raymond was around, or close to her. As I friend I could tell she likes him but I doubt he would. Because Raymond, once had a girlfriend whom he broke up with, but according to Jane he planned on accepting her back. Nevertheless she has never for once told him about how she feels for him.

” Heyyy Raymond” I swung my back to see who it was. I steppe back a bit, while I was attempting to get into the car.

” long time no see Daniella” he added and let out those cute smile of his. I chuckled and replied “Long time no see Raymond” I blushed, my lips formed into a big smile.

” How have you been?” I asked because it has been a while. Our lives had changed ever since Draco came into the picture.

” I have been good. I thought you had moved out from Seattle ” he asked. Seattle was the town I was brought up in, even though my parents got tired of the place and left. I was obstinate to stay back, this is where I got to know my friends and where I truly wished to stay until I successfully got admitted to the college.

I smiled at his question ” I have been around Raymond, it is just that I had gotten married. That is why it is scarce to see me” I added with a big smile on my face, I steeped my fingers together.

“Oh wow congrats,” he said smiling.

“Thanks” I responded.

” Hmmm, do you hear from Jane?” He asked running his hands through his hair.

“Of course, but Jane isn’t well,” I said, changing my tone into a sad one.

” I’m sorry about that, I have been looking everywhere for her. I’m lucky I met you today” he said smiling.

” You’ve been looking for her?” I asked again to confirm I heard right.

” Yes, I have been looking for her. I realised I had fallen for her and I wanted her to be my girlfriend but she was no where to be found” he said, speaking right from the bottom of his heart.

” Oh wow that’s nice” I gasp out. Had it been Jane was here, she would have been the one blushing right now. I had a faint red colours on my cheek.

” I’m sorry you did mention she is sick?” He asked.

” I would love to see her please” he plead.

I thought for a moment, if I take him along with me. I hope Draco doesn’t find any fault in it.

After thinking thoroughly I replied back.

“Jane is at my place, would you mind coming into the car? ” I asked.

” Ok sure” he smiled, dropping his hands downwards while he walked to where I was standing.

I turned and got into the car, while he followed next. Also sitting at the back seat. The guard got into the car and turned on the car engine. He began to drive us back home.

While I was enjoying the drive, my eyes swayed down for Raymond’s finger. Then I saw a need at his middle finger.

” Hey Raymond are you engaged ” I deadpanned.

He blushed at said ” Someone special gave it to me”
