Chapter 5

  • I woke up still in Saint's room. I saw him at the end of his bed facing his laptop and I knew he was serious about what he was doing.
  • I carefully moved my body, and I flinched. It still hurts. He looked at me with his usual stare. He's still wearing his eyepatch, seriously? What's with his eyepatch? Is he hiding something in his left eye?
  • "Just rest Klea, your cheeks are still swollen." I nodded to him and lay down again.
  • Later on, I heard his phone ring. I looked at his back, and because of the silence, I could hear what he was talking about. Am I eavesdropping?
  • "Hellion you need to report here in the underground, asap." It was the voice of the man who was Saint's assistant. Hellion? Who's Hellion? His codename?
  • "Why? Why do you need me?" Saint asked in a cold tone.
  • "The mafia bosses are now livid, they know that the heiress is in your power." I felt Saint approaching me so I immediately closed my eyes.
  • "You don't scare me with that statement, Luther," Saint said with a very dark voice.
  • "Oh Hellion, I know you when you're angry. You and the heiress need to escape." Luther said it clearly to Saint.
  • "If you want to protect the heiress until your last breath, you need to report here ASAP and bring the heiress," Luther said.
  • "Are you fucking out of your mind, Luther? Klea is fragile and you know that!" Saint exclaimed. I want to leave his room. But he could see that I was awake and just listening to him.
  • "Yes, Hellion. I know, just come here a'right?"
  • "Fine!" Saint said and ended their call. I felt Saint sitting next to me. I tried my best to act like sleeping.
  • "I'll be back." He said and immediately left.
  • When I heard the door open and close, I relaxed and slowly opened my eyes. Can Saint handle them? Will he be okay?
  • I went down to the kitchen to drink water first. I saw Sister Mary also drinking milk, she smiled at me and I smiled back.
  • "Why aren't you asleep? And, what happened to your cheeks and arms?" He asked worriedly, I sat next to him and smiled softly.
  • "Some girls bullied me because of Saint.." I said softly, Ate Mary's eyebrows immediately raised.
  • "Who are they? Drop the names, I'll crush their lives." I smiled, he and Saint are indeed brothers. Both have the same attitude.
  • "They will stop, Sister Mary. Saint will handle them." I said smiling. "By the way, this Saturday I have a tour with Psalm," I promised with a smile.
  • Sister Mary's mischievous smile came out. "You don't know what to do! Our Sabrina is really getting older."
  • "That's not a date, Aunt Mary," I said laughing, Sister Mary immediately raised her eyebrows because of what I said.
  • "Weh? Really? Well, if you can smile at that, it's okay." He was teasing.
  • "Well, not really, Psalm is just my friend," I said, Sister Mary just shrugged and patted my head.
  • "Just be careful, right? Even though it's kind, it's also hiding something." He said and I nodded. Psalm is the very opposite version of Saint.
  • And I like Psalm more than Saint. But Saint means a lot to me. Especially because of what he said earlier, that he was afraid I would leave him. But that will never happen.
  • I will always need Saint in my life because he has trained me to always be by my side. That he is my support in everything, and I really appreciate him so much for that.
  • "Sister Mary? I have a question." Sister Mary looked at me.
  • "Yes? What is it?" This question has been bothering me for a long time, even when I was young. But I couldn't ask because I was afraid.
  • "Why is Saint's left eye covered? Why is he wearing an eyepatch? Even at school he still wears an eyepatch..." I was surprised that Ate Mary almost threw up just because I asked. What's wrong?
  • "I can't answer that question, Sat. Only Saint has the right to answer that. But it seems like he won't answer.." Sister Mary said. Why? Is there something wrong with his left eye? Are his eyes not the same size?
  • "Why?" I asked in confusion. "Only Mommy and Daddy know why he covers his left eye."
  • "He doesn't let anyone know, and whoever finds out without his permission, he'll kill him." I blinked at Ate Mary's words.
  • "Oh he, I'm going to sleep. You too." She said and left me alone in the kitchen.
  • Should I ask him about his eyepatch? Or not?
  • I followed what Saint told me not to go in today. And since he left last night he still hasn't returned, what if something happened to him? What if he is doomed?
  • But, he will handle them. Saint is the boss. He's strong enough to beat them. Besides, they won't hurt Saint because he has many connections.
  • I sighed. Sister Mary went to work. So now I'm alone in Saint's mansion. What can I do here? Cleaning up? But Saint's mansion is clean.
  • I was almost surprised when the house phone suddenly rang. I looked at him and he immediately approached and answered.
  • "Hello?" I said.
  • "Hello? Who is it? Is Saint there?" I frowned when I heard a woman's voice. And who is it?
  • "You, who are you?" The woman on the other line laughed a little.
  • "I'm Saint's girlfriend, you? Are you a maid there? Please reach out to him." I suddenly felt nervous because the woman said, Saint, has a girlfriend? Then..he knows Saint's real name.
  • "I'm sorry he's not here," I said and immediately hung up the phone.
  • Who's that? It was vaguely from school because he knew Saint's real name. Maybe that's his girlfriend...wait, what's the point?
  • Saint has the right to have a girlfriend, I don't control his life. I asked. I knew Saint was going to have a girlfriend, but I wasn't informed this early!
  • "Oh? Hija? It's good and the swelling on your face is gone." I immediately looked at Manang Cillia, I smiled at him and nodded.
  • "Ah, yes. Because Saint took care of me yesterday." I said weakly, Manang Cillia just smiled at me and nodded.
  • "Oh, there's your snack, eat it." He said and placed the food in front of me.
  • "Thank you, Manang." I thank him. He left in front of me and I was dumbfounded. What am I going to do now?
  • I don't have any friends that I can approach or send here to the mansion. Besides, Saint might get angry if I send someone to the house.
  • [FAST FORWARD]
  • It was already 5 pm but Saint is still not there so I immediately smiled when I heard the sound of the doorbell. I hurriedly walked towards the gate and when I opened it I was surprised by what I saw.
  • Why is he here? I didn't send him to the mansion, how did he know the address of Saint's mansion? Is he spying on me?
  • "Psalms?" I can't believe it said. He immediately smiled at me and I was even more surprised that he was with more people.
  • "Odette? Cassidy? Rence? Stan? Eren? And Pierce? Why are you all here?" I can't believe it said.
