Chapter 36 - For the First Time
In front of a large gate, Sei was standing impatiently as a man in black was opening it.
The gate was around six meters high with thick razor wires covering the top of it, making it impossible for anyone to cross it singlehandedly.
The man pushed open the gate"s door when he saw two men in black, who were obviously among the body guards, lying on the ground, unconscious.
Upon seeing them, the lines on Sei"s forehead deepened as they entered the gate. They had only taken five steps through the gate when Sei suddenly stopped. All of them could already tell that someone was behind them. Ryou, who was the first to turn his head back had a shocked look on his face and his eyes widened upon seeing a girl holding onto a metal pipe, clinging above the gate"s door like a skilled ninja-like gymnast. As Sei turned around, he saw her jump off the gate, as quick as a cat, and land gracefully on the ground behind them. Upon landing, without even glancing at them, the girl ran through the ma.s.sive gates. She was swift like the wind, leaving Sei and his men surprised and speechless.
Sei then glanced at the place where his wife hid herself just now and his face instantly darkened. He could tell that she had just jumped from a dangerous height and as soon as he returned his gaze towards his running wife, the air went unbelievably thick and his coldness reached its peak the moment he saw her running barefoot.
At that same moment, Zaki who was approaching the gate with two men in black behind him, instantly halted Davi. Zaki was stunned upon seeing her. He didn"t wear his mask so he could only stop and stare at the panting girl, drenched with sweat and barefooted, standing three meters away from him. Her beautiful hair was tied up and messy.
Zaki could only bite his lip as he sensed the dangerous wind coming from the man on the other side, about twenty meters away.
Davi was exhausted and seeing that there were more men in front of her, she stopped and put her hands onto her knees, panting heavily, trying to drag more air into her tired lungs. She looked exhausted, with hardly any strength left. She had been running for quite a long time now, trying to figure out where the exit was so she could escape.
What to do now? Davi was starting to lose hope. She knew that she had barely any strength left to fight and there were just too many of them.
"Someone help me." She mumbled as she panted. The first person that appeared in her mind to call for help was none other than Sei. She was surprised by the thought of it herself. However, at that moment, she realized how alone she was and that without Sei, she had no one to even think of to ask for help. She realized that the only one she had in this life of hers was her little brother and the only person whom she could ask for help was Sei.
"Y-young miss!"
In the middle of her thoughts, a voice which sounded like Ryou"s, the man she first met at Gray Mansion, startled her. Davi instantly raised her head and without wasting any time, she turned her head back. What appeared in her eyes in the next second suddenly made her eyes feel hot as she suddenly wanted to cry.
The masked man, Sei, her husband, was standing right there looking at her.
"S-sei?" she uttered and at that moment, her voice, like a magical arrow, pierced through the tremendous frost surrounding the man across her, as if the arrow melted the surge of anger that was enveloping him.
Hearing her call out his name for the first time, he felt something indescribable bubbling within him, as if the words to describe it didn"t exist in this world to him.
He then walked swiftly towards her.
Seeing the man get closer towards her, Davi was now sure it was really him and that she was not dreaming and at that moment, she didn"t know why she suddenly felt emotional.
So wasting no time, Davi then ran to meet him and as soon as she got close to him, tears quietly fell from her eyes. She leaned her head right away against Sei"s chest and her arms evetually crept around his body to hug him tight, forgetting all the depressing thoughts that were running around in her head just a while ago.
