Zack, you'll be the one to join Tom" Killian announced.
"Huh?" Disha darted her eyes to Killian and everyone turned to her.
"What?" Killian asked.
"Uhm.. nothing" Disha said.
"Are you sure you are fine? Will you go back to rest?" Killian asked.
"I think i will go back" Disha said,her heart suddenly beating fast when she saw the stern look Zack gave her.
She has been right all along.
There's something about him.
"I can go by myself" Disha said when Killian offered to help her.
"You sure?"
"Yeah" Disha said and started walking towards the stairs.
"What's with this lady looking suspiciously at him every time, does she knows he's a spy or what?" Zack wondered as Disha walked to her room.
And she had appeared unhappy when Mr Killian announced that he's gonna be the back up bodyguard.
Seems she's starting to suspect him but he has not been acting suspicious. He has been very careful over the years and no one have ever suspected him.
Even Killian trusts him so much.
But this little thing suddenly comes from nowhere and changed everything!
What if Killian notices her behavior towards him, he'll definitely start watching him too.
He must start watching her every move from now on cause he doesn't like the look of things.
Maybe they should eliminate her before Killian.
Cause she might blow his cover.
He's gonna tell Aiden about it.
But he's glad he's now gonna join Tom.
It's gonna make everything much more easier.
The informations will flow freely.
Though he hates Tom, the guy do behave like he's better than anyone else and it hurts to see Killian cherished him too and even Summer who rarely likes anyone.
There are so many people on his death list and of course Tom is one of them.
"So, Zack. Starting from tomorrow, you'll be joining Tom. Please make sure you and Tom protects everyone." Killian said.
"I'll do my best sir" Zack said.
"I trust you both to do a good job." Killian smiled.
He didn't noticed the look exchange between Tom and Zack.
Tom hated the fact that Zack will be joining him.
They both know they don't like each other .
Tom has always had a bad feeling about him,he wanted to tell Mr Killian several times but he had no proof.
Joining him isn't bad after all, he'll finally get to study him and confirm if his thoughts about Zack are true.
"You can all leave now, i have to go fill Summer in " Killian said.
"Okay Mr Killian" they said and left.
Killian sighed and walked towards the stairs.
Disha breathed out loudly as she tossed in her bed .
She's yet to fully recover from the shock.
Why Zack?
Did Mr Killian trust him that much?
Why is she finding it so difficult to trust him.
Why's she so bothered even when there's no proof that the guy is actually bad like she thought but the look he had given her before she left the living room almost confirmed her thoughts about him but that's still no proof.
Her mind do seem unsettled whenever he's around and that happens to her whenever someone has a bad aura.
Zack sure does but she doesn't think Killian noticed.
Should she ask Tom what he feels about Zack?
No. She shouldn't do that.
She resumed just few days ago, she shouldn't go about prodding.
Her mind trailed back to the incidence.
She had been so shocked to the bone when gunshot echoed in the car.
She didn't know when she passed out.
Whatever it is, someone is obviously after them.
Killian had said he's the one they are after and that means everyone around him is not safe.
She's just so glad Summer hadn't been in the car then.
Why's all these suddenly happening few days she got here.
It's sincerely making her feel bad even after Killian had assured her that she's not responsible for it.
Lucien and her mum mustn't hear this or that'll be the end of her work here.
Especially Lucien, if he hears she was nearly shot, he'll do everything to get her out of here and her mum's surgery bill isn't even complete yet.
Everything was going fine and this incidence just have to spoil everything.
Now they're not safe anymore.
Knowing herself, she's gonna start panicking at every little thing .
She hoped the gunshot thing had been a mistake and it wasn't really aimed at their car...
But who was she deceiving?
It had been aimed at their car!
"No! No! Dad" Summer shook her head.
"Com'on princess" Killian said.
He was sitting beside her on the bed.
"I don't want Zack to join Tom. I'm okay with Tom alone" Summer said.
"Zack needs to . Just allow him please" Killian said.
"Why does he need to join Tom. What's wrong?" Summer asked, dropping her candy.
"Nothing, absolutely nothing. I just feel like tightening your security"
"Why? You were satisfied with just Tom alone" Summer said.
"I was but now I'm not" Killian said.
"Is there anything you're hiding from me again?" Summer asked furrowing her brows.
"Well... there's nothing. But having two bodyguards is not bad . So many kidnappers are all over the city now" Killian said.
"Okay but not Zack!" Summer frowned.
"Why?" Killian asked in surprise.
Summer never had issue with Alex and she has never complained about him.
"I..do see him with Lizzy then. They were always together" Summer said.
"Really?"
"Yes dad" Summer said.
"Is that why you don't want him?" Killian asked.
"Yes, Lizzy is a bad person and anyone who associates with her is one also" Summer scoffed.
"Com'on Summer, they might be spending time with each other cause they're both bored. That doesn't make Zack a bad person too. He's a very good guy and you know how much i trust him" Killian said and Summer shrugged.
"So...?" Killian asked.
"Fine, he can be my second bodyguard" Summer rolled her eyes and picked her candy.
"That's my baby girl! I'm sure you will really enjoy his presence" Killian smiled.
"I can't, i only said yes to obey you." Summer said plainly.
"Thank you" Killian sighed.
"I don't want my car getting stuffy and all!" Summer complained.
"I should change your cars to bigger ones then" Killian said.
"No, it's fine. We're having ballet class tomorrow and i need to practice" Summer said.
"Ohh...i should leave you to it then" Killian pecked her cheeks and rose to his feet.
"Is Disha still asleep?" Summer asked.
She was missing her nanny already.
She had selected her wears herself when she got back from school and she didn't feel so excited like she feels whenever Disha selects her wears.
"Yeah, i think she's a bit ill. She needs a lot of rest" Killian said.
"Really? But you didn't tell me she was ill. You only said she was asleep" Summer said worriedly, getting to her feet.
"Where to?" Killian asked.
"I need to check on her" Summer said and Killian watched as his daughter hurried through the adjoining door.
"What do you want for dinner? will you come downstairs?" Killian asked Disha as he walked into her room.
He saw Summer with her and sighed,she had refused to leave Disha's room since then and it looks like they were both working on her homework.
"No, i think I'll just have fruits" Disha said.
"You sure? You didn't have lunch too" Killian said worriedly, he doesn't like the new Disha, she looks weak and bothered.
Well...who wouldn't look bothered after what happened.
"Summer, i think i left my wristwatch in your room" Killian lied.
"Really?" Summer asked.
"Yeah, go help me search your bed for it"
"Okay dad" Summer said, she got down from Disha's bed before hurrying to her room.
"If you're bothered about what happened earlier then there's nothing to worry about, I'll make sure everyone is safe okay?" Killian said reassuringly and Disha nodded.
"I trust you to do that" She smiled and Killian was glad.
"Now that's what I'm talking about! You just smiled, your face has been sad all along" Killian said, smiling too.
"Yeah" Disha blushed.
The sudden lightness of her mood amazed her.
The weakness she was feeling was slowly diminishing..
She knew it was because of Killian.
He had lightened her mood only with his presence, she had been feeling so down that Summer noticed and the little girl have asked what's wrong severally.
"If you're still feeling weak by tomorrow, then don't bother going with Summer to school okay?" Killian said.
"No, I'll be fine. Like, I'm fine already" Disha said.
"You sure?"
"Of course Mr Killian, thanks so much for your care" Disha said, deeply touched.
"Com'on you were almost hurt in my possession, and I'm still so sorry about that, I've checked on Tom and Eric too and they seem fine" Killian said.
"I'm glad".
"So should we go eat dinner now?" Killian asked.
"Yes" Disha nodded.
"Great!" Killian smiled.
The adjoining door opened and Summer stepped into Disha's room pouting.
"What?" Killian asked.
"I searched everywhere for your wristwatch but couldn't find it. Definitely it's not in my room" Summer frowned.
"Ohh..i must have left it in my private living room then" Killian said scratching his head.
Disha smiled knowing he had deceived Summer.
There was no lost wristwatch anywhere.
He only told her that so she could excuse them.
"Ohh..so should we go to the dining?" Killian asked Summer.
"No, I'll just have fruits" Summer said, sitting back on Disha's bed.
"What?" Killian asked.
"Yeah" she confirmed.
"Okay then , sit here alone and have your fruits. Disha and i will go to the dining" Killian said and Disha laughed.
"What! Isn't she also taking fruits?" Summer frowned.
"I changed my mind Summer" Disha said.
"Huh?" Summer asked, glancing at her dad.
"Yes" Disha said.
"Let's all go to the dining room then" Summer bit her lips.
"You said you're gonna stay here and have your fruits. It's not bad" Killian teased.
"I changed my mind" Summer rolled her eyes and got down from the bed.
She slide her tiny feet into her slippers and walked out of the room.
"Copy cat" Killian laughed and Disha joined him.
Disha walked out of the door with Summer and saw Tom and...
Damn!
She had even forgotten Zack will be joining them.
Tom stretched his hand to open the car door but Zack beat him to it.
He opened the car door with a fake grin which annoyed Disha so much.
Summer entered the car and Disha got beside her,then Tom.
Zack got in the front and Eric started driving.
The car seemed tensed and
Disha noticed no one had said good morning.
Zack presence is such a bad one .
Her mind is starting to get unsettled.
"And why is Tom watching Zack that way?" Disha wondered.
She noticed Summer doesn't look happy too.
Even Eric that do make them laugh just kept mute.
Uhmm.
They got to Summer's school after long minutes of tensed silence..
"I'll take her to her class" Zack offered.
"No! Tom will" Summer said, grabbing her backpack.
Tom grinned and held Summer's little hand in his.
He winked mockingly at Zack before leading Summer to her class.
Disha and Eric saw what happened and Disha couldn't hold her laughter.
Eric did a good job in hiding his though.
Zack wore a visible angry look and Summer could see how cruel those eyes looked at that moment.
Like, that's the real him.
Tom returned,still grinning.
They all got into the car.
Disha and Tom at the back seat.
*
Disha smiled as she saw Lucien's incoming call.
"But, shouldn't he be in class?" She thought.
They were still in the car, on their way home.
"Hey Lucien" she said and thought she saw Zack shifted in his seat but she shrugged it off.
"Sis" Lucien said.
"How are you? Why's your voice down? Shouldn't you be in class? is anything wrong?" Disha asked.
"One question at a time sis. Okay, i think I'm fine Disha. I'm actually on my way to school but i have something to tell you.
"You have something to tell me?" Disha asked and Zack suddenly turned in his seat but Zack had not noticed.
She was worried about her brother.
Lucien doesn't sound this way except if something is extremely wrong.
"First, i hope you and mum are fine?" She asked.
"Yes we're perfectly fine" Lucien said and she sighed in relief.
" Okay,so what do you want to tell me?" Disha asked and silence followed.
"Lucien" She called and noticed the call was suddenly disconnected..
What's going on!
Could they have kidnapped him for real this time find out why this night
