Bea felt down after their snack. But she's not in the mood to eat dinner so he told him that she's going upstairs and that she's not going to eat dinner. She gets it. It's good that he's distancing from her. He shouldn't get close to her because he'll die if he would.

But why does she felt down when he's saying no and pushing her away from all of her teasing? She wanted him badly, but she had no choice but to ignore her needs and just sucked it up. Maybe she should date someone else, so she'll have her mind off her.

​​

She went to the bathroom and brush her teeth and then washed her face as she used her facial brush as it started rolling and brushing her face. It's effective to remove dirt and oil from her skin. She then rinsed her face and gently put a toner on her skin. She changed her clothes into a pair of silk PJs, and she lay on the bed and hugged the teddy bear at her size that Kale bought for her when she's insisting him to buy it in the carnival.

She sniffled and wiped her tears. Why is she tearing? She reached her phone and called Kale. After a few rings, he answered.

"Hey, what's up?" He asked breathlessly.

"Did just had sex? Why are you panting?"

"Nope. I wish I am, but I am currently doing 200 push-ups. From 200 to 300."

"Good."

"What do you need? Is something wrong?"

"Nothing."

"Okay. Tell me about it."

Kale knew that when she said something like 'nothing' it means that it has something.

"He doesn't like me."

"Who? Noah?"

"Yeah."

"Oh." Kale stopped from the other line.

"It's good that he doesn't like me. I mean, with all of those visions, he should probably just stay away from me."

"Who wouldn't like a girl like you?" Kale asked. "You are beautiful, smart, intelligent, talented… I mean, you are everything that a man would want."

"You are only saying that to make me feel better."

"Yeah, I am saying that to make you feel better. But you wouldn't care about lies at this moment. If those lies would make you feel better. So be it. Right?"

"You are the best Kale. That's why girls would cry their balls out because of you." Bea chuckled.

"I know. So, should I start punching him? I need a new punching bag."

Bea laughed.

"That's unnecessary." She sighed. "I think I'll just sleep this. I'll see you at the Academy."

"Yeah, in two days," Kale said.

"Bye." Bea hung up and she bugged the teddy bear.

She couldn't sleep at all. So, she left her room and went downstairs to the wine cellar. She took champagne and then she went to the kitchen to take her ice cream and then a spoon. She went upstairs to her room. She closed the door and sat on the bean bag couch as she turned on her television and watched some drama.

Bea couldn't help but cry as she watched a romantic heartbreaking movie. She stuffed more ice cream to her mouth and drink champagne through the bottle.

Noah saw her taking out champagne and ice cream. Usually, girls like that are lonely or depressed or heartbroken. He wanted to ask about what's wrong. But it seemed like their conversation didn't go well. She was teasing him, and he kept rejecting her. He thought that he was playing on her because she asked it casually like it was nothing.

"So, you wouldn't even bite even if I strip in front of you?"

"No. I have self-restraint and it's not right with you."

What goes in his mind telling him that it's not right to do it with her? Oh, fuck. Yeah, girls could misunderstand such things. He even stopped in front of her room and scratched his head thinking if he should knock and talk to her. But it seemed like she doesn't want anyone to disturb her.

"Which means, you don't like me." She said and he agreed. She laughed. "I got it. It's better that you don't feel anything toward someone in our family because it will be very chaotic."

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"It means that you don't want to be very familiar with the people who are working to," Bea said and she's right. So, he nodded.

"I think, you are right."

But he felt something wrong. He felt like he rejected her before she even confessed. He sighed heavily and he went to his room and checked the security around the house first and the cameras if there are a motion that has been detected.

Nothing at all. The cameras could easily detect a person if that person isn't scanned or enrolled through their security system.

Once that there's none, he took a long bath and thinking Bea makes him aroused and makes him wanted to go to her and just do it break every law that exists.

****

She drank water and she stood as she walked. She stumbles a little and she could see double. She reached the bathroom and sat on the warm toilet bowl to pee as she sings. She reached the tissue and wiped off whatever it is and throw it on the trash bin close to it. She stood and the toilet flushed automatically. She fixed her pajama and she stared at the door and pointed it.

"Walk—straight." She mumbled and she started walking but she's walking in zigzag. She finally reached her bed and she crawled over it to the big teddy bear.

She was about to close her eyes but somehow, she was pulled into a swirling scenario. She froze seeing Noah standing in front of her topless and he's grinning at her. He reached her hand and bring it to his lips.

"There's no camera here."

She looked around. She's in an unfamiliar room. He unzipped her dress and she smiled at him couldn't help it. She's excited and her stomach felt lots of butterflies flapping.

"Are you nervous?" He asked and kissed her nape.

"Yeah."

"Don't worry, I'll be careful."

She couldn't stop grinning, but she stopped when there's something moved from the curtains. Noah also stopped and he zipped back her dress and pulled him to his back. She turned back from him from possible attack from behind.

The movements are fast and suddenly, a slice of the flesh is all she heard. She turned around. Noah fell on the floor and had a deep cut on his chest and a man in a black outfit came closer in a very fast movement and he stuck his samurai to Noah's chest where his heart is located.

"Run," Noah told her.

Bea screamed and she sat up and looked around. She was in her room and she frantically turned all of the lights. She covered her mouth and hugged her knees as she cried. She—She can't be with him. Someone will kill him, and she doesn't know who.

The door open and Noah entered only wearing a towel around his waist.

"Miss Bea, are you okay?"

"Get out!" She demanded but he hesitated. "Leave, right now!" She screamed at him.

"Bea, what's going on?" Noah is so worried.

"Just leave!" She started sobbing. "I don't want to see you."

He leaves. She sighed and reached her chest. She stared at nowhere and looked at the balcony. It's closed. She reached her phone and called her father. It was ringing and ringing and after a few rings, he answered.

"Hey, what's up?"

"Dad, make Noah leave."

"Why? Did he do something?"

"No. Make Noah leave. I don't want him around me." She said like she's in the marathon.

"I can't make him leave at this moment. Tell me what happened? But before that, you need to breathe. Okay? Inhale, exhale."

She did as what her father instructed, and she calmed down.

"Now, tell me what happened."

"I—was in a room alone with him and there are shadows—it was ninjas, but I don't know specifically on what clan they were. They attack Noah, slicking his body, and pushing a sword directly to his heart. I don't know about their next mission, but it seemed like a bigger one. That someone sent an assassin to kill me or him."

"This is serious. So, what's the first that you had envisioned?" He asked.

"Well, we were in a—I think it's a room as well and we were surrounded, and he caught all the bullets for me."

"Then, this is the second one?"

"No. I had a vision of our camping just a while ago. Then, rogues surrounded us and probably going to kidnap us for ransom or sell us to our family's enemy."

"Okay, I will work on this tomorrow."

"Okay."

"Relax and you need to sleep. Good night, darling."

"Good night, dad." She hung up and lay down as she stared at the ceiling. A soft knock on the door makes her stop and she looked at Noah. Her door is half-open when he barged in.

"Can I come in?"

"No." She said coldly.

"You can tell me what happened."

She sat up and glared at him.

"I don't want you around me anymore. You are dismissed." She turned back from him.

Noah stood there for a while and he closed the door as he left.
