世界上最不安全的人

Chapter 241 - Two Hundred And Forty-one: Ailee And Allen

The third point of view

"Alright, you\'re hurting me now,"?Reina cried out as Andrew led her to a secluded corner of the passageway.

He had been the one who rescued her from being seen by Niklaus and drove her home right away. But what she couldn\'t understand was the reason behind his anger. Yes, meeting Niklaus was not part of the plan but she could have handled it her way. Moreover, she\'s the one at the risk of being discovered, not him, so why was he furious?

"Andrew, let me go, now!" She managed to free her hands from his grasp but looked up to see his eyes full of anger, what the hell was wrong with him?

"He could have found you," He said, his voice taut with outrage and locking her in by placing both hands on either side of her.

"That\'s the whole point of this revenge!" Reina yelled at him, eyeing the prison he formed around her, "He finds me and the fun begins,"

Andrew didn\'t like the sound of that, no, he didn\'t want her to be found by Niklaus at all. Yes, he had been a douche by breaking up with her then and had seen it as a curse being forced to work for Sakuzi.

However, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise, he was currently educated in most courses he wouldn\'t dare to take on when he was still ordinary, young, inexperienced Andrew- Sakuzi wanted capable, qualified, and educated personnel around his daughter - and being a member of the mafia wasn\'t that bad.

He gets to go to places he wouldn\'t have been able to and associates with men of power as part of Sakuzi\'s entourage. Aside from the dirty works, being a part of the gang wasn\'t that bad; they get to rule the economy from behind, threaten governors who fail to meet up on their own part of their deal, and control half of the police force like they were toys, they had power.

But as much as that lifestyle was fun, it carries a risk far higher than the pleasure; he was at risk of losing his life in the hands of a rival gang, being betrayed by fellow gang members, or cast away by Sakuzi if he turns out to be a liability.

"Now, you get off me" Reina laid hands on his chest to push him away. As much as she has loved flirting with him earlier, his domineering attitude right now was a turn-off.

"You were right," He said.

"Huh?" Reina was confused.

"As you suspected, we dated,"

"What?" she was short of words this time.

"We were a couple and loved each other so much," Andrew drew closer, tilted his head, and kissed her.

Reina blinked, still not understanding what was going on while his lips moved against hers. They were a couple? like really a couple? Then why didn\'t he answer earlier when she confronted him about it.

Lately, she had been getting snippets of her past, and sometimes it didn\'t make sense or she was unable to remember the people in it. But Andrew\'s case was clear and he had just confirmed it. But the question she had on her mind was why now? Something was being kept from her. Reina might have lost her memories but that didn\'t render her dumb.

Andrew knew this was a lame move but he couldn\'t help himself, he didn\'t want her to return to Niklaus. He loved her and regretted what he did to her in the past and would do everything to make up for that. They could be happy together once more.

Watching her over the years, he had done his best to restrain his affection, but after seeing Niklaus almost get to her tonight, he couldn\'t hold back anymore and knew he had to act fast or stand to lose her again.

"Andrew," Reina pulled away from the kiss trying to make space between them but the guy was too strong. He grabbed her waist and pushed her against the wall.

"I love you, Maya" He confessed.

Reina went still, that name had been banned for years from her memory that hearing someone confess his feelings to her with it shocked her so much her jaw dropped.

She just couldn\'t believe those words came from Andrew. The man had been so cold and nonreciprocal to her over the years that she had gotten used to it, so this sudden affection was weird. What had brought on the change?

"I need to go," she tried to go but he still wouldn\'t let her.

"Please listen to me, Maya -"

"It\'s Reina!" She corrected him sternly.

She hated that name, it just kept reminding her of how powerless and miserably she had lived.

"Alright, Reina -"

"What\'s going on here?"

They turned in the direction of that voice and Andrew broke apart from her.

"You answer that," Reina pushed Andrew out of her way and strode past Emerald who didn\'t fail to capture her messy state.

"It\'s nothing, just a minor argument,"?Andrew answered and tried to walk away but the giant grabbed him by the collar, uttering in a low growl warningly,

"If I get your paws on her again, I\'ll smash your brain to a pulp," Was his threat, and pushed him away roughly.

Andrew didn\'t say anything, Emerald was his superior. After Sakuzi and his family members, his words were the law here. Though Andrew being Reina\'s guardian promoted him above the normal guards but that big man could still finish him off and no one would question that.

"Am I clear?"

"Yes, you are, sir Emerald " He lowered his head as a sign of submission amid the fire burning in his eyes.

"Now, get out of my sight!"

And he obeyed without hesitation-with a clenched fist.

When Reina got to her room, her feelings were in turmoil. She had so many questions and yet no answer, that was so frustrating! She hated being helpless.

She had no choice but to go into the bathroom and cool down her hyperactive brain with a cold shower. Fine, just forget about tonight and focus on your mission.

Reina was sure Niklaus would start an investigation after seeing her at the club tonight but she didn\'t worry anyway. He wouldn\'t be able to get any information from the club or any other sources. The man would only get the information she wanted him to see no matter how much he dug into her background.

Done with the shower, Reina had just donned a nightgown when the laptop on her bed lit up with a notification. She hurried to her bed, having a faint idea who was calling her by this time.

"Hi, mummy!"?Ailee\'s gorgeous face filled the screen- she was still adjusting the position of the laptop.

"Hi my sweet cherry," Reina kissed the screen which made her daughter giggle at her silliness.

"I miss you, mummy"

"Me too," she cooed when her eyes suddenly narrowed, "Where\'s your brother? "

"Oh, Allen?" The girl shifted the camera to another location which captured a boy sitting on a couch swiping through the pages of a book, nonchalant to the discussion going on.

One look at both kids and one couldn\'t help but notice the resemblance between both regardless of their gender and they were Reina\'s kids.

Thanks to the incident, her body had been too frail to carry not only one but two kids at once. So at her sixth month, a cesarean operation was performed and the babies were kept in incubators till they were matured enough to be taken out to the outside world.

Amid the myth that incubated kids were much weaker than the normal ones, her kids were an exception- in fact, they were much stronger than normal kids their age.

Though Ailee had taken her father\'s shade of brown hair, the girl was her split image, unlike Allen who took everything his father had to offer facially. Ailee was the more vocal twin and was quite unruly while Allen was as cold as ice water - he must have taken that trait from the father\'s side.

Ailee would rather be out there saying hello to the world and making friends till her friend list was full, Allen was keen to observe and thus, making him more mature than his sister.

As influenced by their background, both kids were intelligent since Sakuzi went all out in giving them the best of education.

"Hey, Nerdyallen, come say hi to mommy,"

And yes, Ailee was a troublemaker.

Allen simply glared at her, returning his eyes to the book - which was turned upside.

Reina scratched her scalp, sometimes she couldn\'t understand her son\'s mood swings. It would have been a lot better if he were as carefree as his sister - that way she would only care about compensating the damages from their pranks.

"Allen, nerdy, nerdy, come speak to mommy," Ailee said in a singsong which provoked the boy to drop the book and come over to the laptop.

"Are we coming over there, else we have nothing to discuss," He went straight to the point.

Oh, Reina realized, he was still at that again. She gave out a great sigh, "Allen, we\'ve discussed this already, and as I told you, it\'s dangerous over here and my staying is only for a short while and then I\'m back to you guys," she persuaded him.

"Sure," Allen agreed or so she thought,

"We can have this discussion when you\'re back to us," He sassed and left.

"Seriously Allen, come on," Reina threw her hands up

"Don\'t worry, mom" Ailee smiled at her, "I\'ll talk to Allen,"

Yeah, that was what she was afraid of.
