Chapter 26: Runaway

Joy's POV

Why do they keep avoiding my questions these days? Why does Chimera run away when I talked about that fatty man? Wait… I'm part of them. Is it true that I am really related to them? It's really confused! Ever since they came, my life is ruined! Suddenly, my grandpa appeared from nowhere, and I am nobility. Then again, a lot of random people appeared from nowhere. After that, a fatty man who claimed that I am related to them kidnapped me! Now, my mum said that we are moving!

Why does my mum being so afraid about me when I'm with them? Also, who am I exactly? I'm so confused!

Wait? If I am related to them, maybe they'll know who is my daddy! Maybe they'll tell me everything!

But… How am I able to look for them? I don't even know where they live! All I know was a fancy room, big bed and… fancy beautiful and expensive stuff! But, there are few fancy estate in Gardenia… I don't think they live here…

Maybe they live in a fancy hotel like grandpa?

Then I know where they live. Cause there's only two 5 star hotel in Gardenia.

Since nobody is gonna tell me anything, I am gonna find out myself.

"So you're saying that daddy abducted your daughter, then Bloom and dad… quarreled?" Diaspro spoke, "You're serious?"

"Me and mum seen it with our own eyes." Said Brandon. "Do I look like I'm joking?"

"She's asking for death man! I mean, her family still owes us money! They got to thanks us for helping them out when they are in financial crisis. If not, they will be living like what those poor lowly commoners do." Continued Diaspro. "Without our help, they would have their noble titles stripped off."

"I know." said Brandon. "Besides, here are only few nobilities left in this world, especially someone like Stella's dad! For goodness sake he's a descendant of a duke! Also the distant relatives of the imperial royal family of Genovia! Who wants to lose their nobility title these days anyway? Bloom's father is already an example."

"Seriously... Diaspro and Brandon, " chuckled Sky. "Can we don't talk about the Domino and Solaria family? It's making me sick."

"Ohh…. 4 eyes freak…." Sing Diaspro, "4 eyes freak…"

"If you're not my sis, I would have surely slapped your face." Sky snapped back.

"Come on, you just don't have the balls to."

"You! —"

"Guys, shut the fuck up!" yelled Brandon, "Geez! Get a life man!"

The both of them just rolled their eyes, as Brandon just sighed in relieved.

"Sir, Ms." Spoke the Driver as he stopped the car in front of the entrance. "We have reached the airport."

"Good. I'm tired of staying here anymore." Snapped Diaspro and she opened the door and walked out. Bodyguards are there for her to carry her luggage and protecting her.

"Yo dude, aren't you going out?" called Sky as he noticed Brandon was dazzling.

"Dude." He sighed. "I'm not leaving. I just can't…"

"Can't let go the feelings of your daughter and her?" he said, Brandon nodded and sighed.

"How I wish I could be there for them you know." He sighed, looking down. At a moment, Sky's face changed. He looked down at his brother, and suddenly felt guilty and feared for what he has done between Brandon and Stella's relationship. A sudden though appeared in his mind, telling himself that he should tell him exactly what really happened at that night. But once again, his darker side took over that thought, making him decided not to tell Brandon.

"I am really scared that dad will do something stupid." Said Brandon, "I mean, he and mum are staying. It's pretty obvious that he wanted his granddaughter back! What the fuck can I do?"

"Hey, maybe we should defy dad's order… just for once." Brandon looked up at his brother with his eyes widen, and was surprised that Sky, a son who listen to his parents actually dares to use the word "defy".

"Wow… Bro, that is the first time you said that." Spoke Brandon, surprised. "Besides fucking around with girls, you didn't have the guts to defy dad's order before."

"I mean, come on! We're brothers! I do not want to go back and look at the four walls okay? We should have some fun! Come on! We are in our twenties! We should—"

"I think the only reason that makes you wanna stay is Bloom, right Bro?" Sky stared at his brother who spotted the answer.

"Yeah… She's really… attractive now. And after all, I do not want to see my fiancée date a commoner! I mean come on! She belongs with me! We are engaged at the first place!"

"Seriously bro…" Brandon looked at him, "If Bloom is happy with the other guy, you should give her your blessing."

"Ya ya, but she's not even married yet. That means I still stand a chance, right?" Brandon nodded, as he knew that he's right after all. But at the same time, he knows Sky wasn't attracted to Bloom's inner beauty, he is only attracted and loves her current beauty. But he can't stop his brother, right?

"So… Should we get the chauffeur make a u turn?" Brandon nodded. Sky smiled and looked up at the chauffer, ordering him to make a u turn. The chauffer nodded and start the engine and drove off.

"Hey!" one of the bodyguards yelled, the rest then give the car a chase. But after a while, they stopped as the car disappeared.

"Dad." Stella looked up at her father. "Do you think I made the right choice?"

Her father sighed. He looked down at his daughter, put one of his arms around her as he strokes her hair. He deeply knows that Stella was forced to make this choice, a choice that she was forced to pick.

"Stella, it's all up to you." He managed to put on a smile while looking at his daughter. "Whatever choice you made, I will always support you."

"Thanks daddy." Stella replied coldly. "But I still think it's a wrong choice. I felt guilty whenever it is really unfair that I forbid Brandon to—" She immediately keep quiet after she mentioned his name. Instead of seeing Radius being angry, instead he sighed and looked at his daughter.

"Stella, answer me honestly." He said. "You still have feelings for him right?"

Stella kept quiet after hearing that question. But Radius continues to ask anyway.

"Actually deep in your heart, you don't want to leave this place, especially avoiding him. You, like any other women wants a perfect family. You want him to love you and Joy, you want him to be by your side whenever you need him."

"Daddy I—"

"I don't blame you Stella." Continued Radius. "I can see how much he care for Joy, I can see how much he eager to take the responsibility. But because of Joy, you can't. You don't want her to let her know how she is created, and that incident that night, am I right?"

"Daddy please!" cried Stella, who is now covering her ears. "I do not want to talk about this anymore!"

"Sir!" Suddenly, Cassandra dashes into the room and looked up at Radius. "We have a problem here."

"What is it Cassandra?" asked Radius, anxious.

"Chimera called." She said, Stella immediately grabbed Cassandra's arms anxiously, as she knew it was about her daughter, Joy.

"What happened? What happened to my daughter?" Stella shouted.

"She runs away when Chimera was away for a while." Cassandra replied. "And left a note."

AN: Sounds familiar? Geez, I am really good at the game of hide and seek. Bet I have pissed a lot of people off, seriously. Guess Who is Joy gonna dump on this time.

Seriously, do you think Joy has been a really good and sweet girl? Think again. She has her mother's personality and her dad's eyes and hair. Looked at Stella's temper and you'll know what type of girl is Joy, but... I put it to the more extreme just to make her look like "The little sweet girl who holds on a knife." Yes, she's a little devil isn't she?

Anyway, review! Leave me a review about your thoughts on how Joy's reaction will be when she knows the truth. But don't kill her because she's just a little girl =)

REVIEW!
