"This is the second time my daughter was hospitalized! And you are always with her! "I woke up to the sound of their conversation.
"I did not expect that we would be ambushed by an unknown person. Right now I have ordered my men to find and investigate those people. "Easton said calmly to Daddy.
"Dad, sorry if we didn't tell you right away." Brother Randy joined their conversation.
"Tell me Randy, what do you know about the event that happened to your sister?"
"When Red's fight was near and before, she received death threats. At first, she didn't pay attention to it. Maybe it was just a prank by the fans of her opponents. Until it gets worse and worse," my brother sighed.
"Do you think that the ambush that happened to them is connected to the one sending death threats to Red? "
"That's what I was thinking too, dad. Right now, I will tighten Red's securities even more. And I was planning to give her a vacation. Because I know that she is also going through a lot."
Daddy also sighed.
"You, Mr. Easton Torres. Stay away from my son first. Maybe we don't know that you are the target of those people and my daughter will be affected by this chaos."
"But sir—" He cut Easton off.
"No more but-but, Easton. I don't know what kind of relationship is developing between you and my daughter. But I need to protect my daughter, whose life is also in danger right now. Just leave my daughter alone, I'm begging you." Daddy said to him.
"But you can't keep us apart, dad, when I make the decision." I interrupted their conversation.
That's why the three of them turned to me.
"Red." Easton uttered my name. There was concern in his voice.
Daddy quickly came to my side. And he stroked my hair and held my hands.
"Finally, you're awake." He said with concern. "How are you feeling, sweetheart? Does your wound still hurt? "Daddy asked me one question after another.
I held his hand.
"Dad, I'm fine. It is far from the intestine. " I said jokingly.
"And you even managed to joke, Raniyah." I laughed weakly.
"You are too worried. Easton protected me from those who shot at us."
"But you still got hit. Is that the protection? "Daddy said a little angrily.
I glanced at Easton, I smiled at him. He also smiled back.
I turned to my brother and motioned for them to go out first. He nodded and asked Easton to leave the room.
Daddy and I just talked about what happened and got a taste of the sermon. He didn't tell mommy about what happened. She's in Paris attending a fashion week there.
After we talked with daddy, he left for his meetings. Easton also entered my room, he said goodbye and went home first. He will only visit me the next day because he has a hectic schedule tomorrow.
I spent two weeks in the hospital before I was discharged.
Daddy sent me home to monitor my condition. He tightened the security even more and doubled my bodyguards.
Here I am now in my old room, wondering and rummaging through my old stuff. Until I found my old bikini, I tried it and it still fits me. I thought about spending my time in our pool. So I ordered our maids to fix the pool area of the house.
It was five o'clock in the afternoon when I got out of the water. My white skin was a bit tan because I was also exposed to the sun earlier.
At six o'clock in the evening, mommy called me and said hello. Mommy asked me what happened to me. Of course, I lied. Daddy ordered that because he didn't want mommy to worry too much about me. He wants mommy to enjoy Paris.
When I ate dinner at seven o'clock, daddy accompanied me since he also came home early from work. We just talked about business and that's it. After we ate, I went to my room and went to bed early.
The next day, I couldn't do anything. So I went to our library here at home and I spent the whole day there.
Daddy came home early and we ate dinner together. Brother Randy came home late at night, maybe finishing something at the office. That's why.
My wound is healing little by little, Easton sometimes texts me and asks how I am. That man was also busy, of course, he also had his own company to run.
Justine also visited me. I think the news reached him too, and we just talked and talked about business. He didn't mention his plan to court me.
I woke up early, so our helpers also prepared breakfast early. I was eating when grandpa suddenly came. It was his cold presence that dawned on me. As usual, his strict and cold personality will not disappear. I remained calm with his cold stares at me.
"Where is your father? " He asked me coldly.
I put down the cutlery I was holding and wiped my mouth.
"I don't know if he left early. I will call his secretary if you and daddy have something important to discuss," I said, and I took a sip of coffee.
"Shall I call his secretary?" I added.
"No need, I'll just go to his office. " He turned his back on me and his bodyguards followed him while the housekeepers bowed when they met grandpa.
I shrugged as he left and finished the meal.
I was in the garden relaxing when Randy suddenly called me. I immediately answered.
"Hello, brother?"
"Have you done eating breakfast? " he asked.
"I'm already done, brother. Why? "
I heard his weak sigh.
"Come here to my office, we need to talk about something. "He says.
"Hmm.. okay. Is it now? "
"Yep."
"Alright, I'll get ready." I said and hung up.
I got dressed and called the driver to take me to the office.
When we got to the office, I immediately went to my brother's office.
I was about to knock when the door suddenly opened. My jaw dropped when I saw that Easton was the one opened the door.
"What are you doing here? " I asked him in disbelief.
"I just stopped by to say hello to your brother." I raised an eyebrow at him.
"Really?"
He didn't even stop by our house to say hello, he just texted me.
I gave him the address of our house. I thought he would visit me at home.
I understand that he is busy, but why can't he come to visit me? Daddy is not at home because he has a job here at the company. He can visit me.
Wait, am I going to sulk with this man?
"Why? " Frowning while staring at me.
"Nothing," I glanced inside my brother's office. "You and my brother won't talk inside more? "I added.
"No more, I'm leaving. I still have a meeting to go to. "I pouted my lips.
"Okay, take care. " He stared at me seriously.
I looked away from him.
"I'm gone for a month, so I might not be able to call you and update you."
"It's okay. "
"I'll just call you when I leave the country." I just nodded.
He stared at me deeply, as if he was still waiting for me to say something. So I glanced at him.
"So, you're not leaving yet? I thought you were going to a meeting?" He was about to say something to me, but he stopped himself and shook his head in front of me.
He passed me and I didn't look at him. I entered my brother's office.
"Good morning to you, brother. "I greeted him.
"Morning. Have a seat. " He offered me to sit. I sat in front of his desk while his hands rested on the table.
"What are we going to talk about, Brother? "I started.
"How are your wounds?" He asked with concern.
"It's pretty okay bro. Gradually getting better. "I answered and smiled sparingly at him.
"I called you here because I arranged everything with Danny for your schedule for the next month. "
"So, am I going back to modeling? Since I have just finished my race match," I hinted.
"Maybe you're right, just not in modeling. Since you won the National Cup, it is expected that many people have offered you projects. So Danny and I carefully arranged your schedule. "
"How many projects is that?" I pumped.
My brother took something from his drawer and gave me a brown folder.
I reached for it and read the contents.
My eyes widened when I saw that there were many offers for commercials and photo shoots related to the car. From a famous fuel brand, car accessories, also a famous car brand and more. My brother accepted all that for me. Also, the gear products of our company are also included.
"How is it? I have carefully chosen the accepted brands that are almost on the list that are top sellers and are really loved by the people." I looked at my brother as I couldn't believe what I read.
"Won't my time here be hectic? "
"Don't worry, I'll give you a month off before you go back to work." I couldn't help but smile widely. I stood up and hugged my brother.
I can finally relax.
"You are really the best brother. " My heart was jumping for joy.
"So, where do you want to go on vacation? "
I really have a plan to go. I want to go to Batangas and vacation there at our ancestral mansion. Because it is far away from people.
"I used to plan to vacation at our ancestral mansion in Batangas. You know, Brother, that I love the beach, and it's far from people." I let go of hugging my brother and looked at me.
"The only problem is that mommy has the key, but daddy has a spare. He always carries that. You can borrow it from him. "
"Okie dokie! "I kissed my brother's cheek.
"When will I go on vacation?" I happily asked him.
"You can leave for Batangas tomorrow if you want." I signed okay and left his office.
I went to Daddy's office to get the key to our ancestral mansion. I was about to knock when I heard daddy's angry voice.
I froze when I heard what he said.
"I can't believe that you are the one who initiated all of that! And I can't imagine that you could do that to Red! "
I heard daddy say. I can't believe that he would do the same to me.
