Sold To The Wicked Him

“You are awake. Wanna have some coffee?”

Opening her eyes, Lea finds herself sitting in a car. Wearing a new set of clothes, a seatbelt locking her from having her balance out of how the car was moving. She can even feel the air from the road as the car have no ceiling and is completely wide open.

“Where…”

She asked only to have her head be in pain. Even her body feels painful. It is more worst than what she felt back then. But there, a voice answered her question. It was coming from a man.

“Ah, maybe you are curious why you are here with me?”

Slightly nodding her head, the man looks friendly and kind yet she finds something wrong. The moment she look at herself, she could not help but have her eyes wide open.

“My dress…”

“Ah about that, you don’t have to worry. I ask the maids in there to change your clothes so rest assured no man saw your body”

Taking a bite of the toasted bread he had on his hand, he saw how Lea look at him.

“Want some?”

He said offering the bread. But a frown can be seen on her face. Thinking about what happened to her, she knew that something is not right.

‘Why do I feel like… I am forgetting something? Why…’

“Who are you?”

She mumbled, still looking at that man,

The car then stops. They are in front of a gate. The place was wide and in color of dried leaves. Even so, one can’t fully tell if they are dead dry or if is it just how they look like.

“Master Brylle, welcome back. Up here again to take photos?”

Smiling at the man who was talking to him, Brylle let out that friendly aura. None can deny how he have that smile that makes him charming.

“Yes Wilner”

He replied with his bright smile.

“And it seems like you have a company with you today” trying to tease Brylle, the guard put a smile on his face as he let the gate open.

“Yeah, lucky to have a beautiful girl join me here today” giggling, he looks at lea.

Nodding his head in agreement, Wilner can’t remove the smile on his face. It was Brylle’s first time bringing someone in here. and knowing that Brylle is not alone makes him be more at ease. After all, every time Brylle would come here, he is not as bright as what he was today.

“Have a nice day Master Brylle”

“You too Wilner”

And even if they not say such thing, one can tell with just one glance that the two of them would surely have a nice day. It was written all over their faces. It was something that one can find it hard to deny. And by that, the car of Brylle keeps moving forward. Heading inside the protected animal forest.

‘It seems like my wish is finally granted, I am grateful to finally see you happy at last, Master Brylle’

Lea just looks around. It is not a place she knows or is familiar with. Even the man beside her, it was her first time meeting him. but she does not have a chance to get mad as he doesn’t look harmful at any point. But there is one thing she was certain of. No matter who he was, no matter what his reason is for bringing her with him, she have the right to know where she is and why she was there.

“Where am I and who are you? Why am I here?”

Stopping the car, they finally arrive in the location where Brylle would go. Giving her a smile he pick up some of his things and had his camera hanging on his neck.

“Sorry for the late introduction, I am Brylle Leonard. About your question, mind joining me for a walk? I’ll tell you what I know”

Walking as Brylle brought a mat for them to sit at.

“Here, you may sit in here”

“Thank you”

“Here, I bet you are also hungry”

And as he sit in front of Lea, he started to explain what happened.

“I was on my way here when I saw you being carried by two men. They didn’t saw me since there are tall bushes. And as soon as they left, I check who that was. There I saw you. Covered by just weeds”

Putting his hand in front of him, he gestures as if he is waving.

“But I covered you immediately. Okay? So no need to worry about that. I also went in a hotel. There I asked the maids to clean you up and you know what happened next”

“You… bring me with you…”

Nodding his head, he agreed in what Lea said,

“I can’t possibly leave you there. Even if it was a famous hotel, I can never leave someone unconscious like you to be in their place alone”

Not saying any words, what he said do make sense. After all, what he just think was for the better. He means no harm at all. That is what Lea was thinking right at this moment.

“How long is it since you saw me?”

“A day? Probably”

Only the calm breeze of the air can be heard as silence covered the two.

Click

The sound of Brylle’s camera clicking caught Lea’s attention.

“Indeed, you are a natural beauty”

He mumble to himself as he look at the one shot photo he took. It was stolen shot yet the result was so amazing.

“Now that I think about it, I still don’t know your name… ”

He giggled as he waited for Lea to speak.

“My name?” thinking about it, it took her some time to blur out her name.

“Lea, my name is Lea”

Brylle was a bit confuse. But judging by what he saw, he can’t help but want to confirm something.

“Do you know why you are there? Who are those people and… where are you from?”

Thinking deeply about it, Lea can’t seem to find any answer. No matter how much she thinks it through, she just can’t find the right reason why. As if there was a hole on her mind. As if… someone cut of what she know…

“Do you know your address? Or even phone number of someone you know?”

Shaking her head, she closes her eyes feeling pain. Brylle notices it and hold her hand.

“Don’t push yourself. It seems like you had a memory loss… We need to go to a hospital”

Pulling his phone, Brylle dialed a number. It soon answers.

“Hey Sam, I need your help”

Lea just look at Brylle having a worries written all over his face. But no matter how much she tried to remember, nothing comes to her mind. But still, the worries in that man that was in front of her, sha can say it was true. And for that… somehow… she was thankful. Thankful that someone saved her… in something she could not even remember…

“Thank you….”

And a sweet smile escaped Brylle’s lips.

‘She is really beautiful… just like an angel…’

“Where is she?!”

Pulling the shirt of the man inside the cell, it was the same guy that wears a black shirt back then.

“I told you I don’t know”

Annoyed by the answer he heard, it is not the reply he wanted to receive.

“Son, you have to take rest first. Look at you, you haven’t got any sleep at all”

Menandro put his hand on Aiden’s shoulder. But that made his son be annoyed. Gritting his teeth, he can’t help but shrug Menandro off.

“I lose her, I was there yet I didn’t had the power to save her… just what is my difference with you?”

Soon people came as Menandro put his hand gesturing them to head inside. A shot was given to Aiden. Since he doesn’t want to sleep, that was the only thing that Menandro can think of doing. And with that, Aiden finally lose control of himself and fall unconscious.
