✍️ CHAPTER TITLE ✍️: IN PUBLIC WITH A STRANGE LADY (1)

Annabel let out an exciting breath as she leaned her head a little, outside the car window.
“This city is beautiful,” she admitted to Damien who sat down carefully beside her in the car.
“Too beautiful to hide evildoers,” he mouthed in a husky tone.
Annabel snapped her eyes at him in confusion as she doesn’t understand what ever he says.
“What are you talking about? Is the city not beautiful?” She questioned.
“Crystal lives in this city, it would have been beautiful if it chooses not to hide evildoers,” he rubbed his chin lightly after explaining.
Annabel after hearing him hummed… Caleb was right, Damien’s sanity has changed. Has he ever engaged in a conversation without Crystal’s name popping up?
“You never met her after the incident?” She adjusted her sitting position away from the car window.
“I haven’t, but I will soon fetch her.” He replied sternly.
Although his voice wasn’t loud, but also, it wasn’t calm as it should be. A hint of silence which was laced with anger, clearly revealing itself as he speaks.
“She might have gone out of the country, you are a public figure now, and her tracing your location and everything about you won’t be a hard job for her.” She clarified.
“It’s painful. If she is engaging herself in doing those, then it’s painful that I can’t play the same trick on her,” Damien stated.
“Why is Caleb not helping you with it?” She asked after reminiscing what he said.
“What have you known him to be? A coward who preaches about peace often,” he almost yelled.
In a soft giggle, Annabel raised her brows at him in a funny way. Why did he define his best friend in such a nasty way?
“I would have stopped going after her for a long time if I were you,” she openly said to him.
Damien on hearing what she says cleared his throat to hide his annoyance under the measure.
Hearing Annabel being a whole lot of saint-like Caleb makes him want to yell at her. Crystal is too devilish to be imagined being forgiven by him. Well, it’s just their imaginations anyways.
“When are you visiting the hospital again?” He asked, sliding the recent conversation into a trash bin.
Annabel knew what he was up to, and didn’t bother to drag out any conversation that he doesn’t want to engage in.
“In two weeks. It’s my choice though,” she beamed.
“You don’t have a choice in this, you have to go,” Damien informed.
“I’m healthy! You don’t know what it means to stay up in there for a full week even after recovering totally,” she complained.
“It wasn’t my fault, Smith refused to discharge you,” he told to her.

“He was trying not to be on your to taunt list. So, he kept me there to avoid getting tormented by my brother,” she ranted.

“Good for him.” Damien simply said. Annabel eyed him in a silly way and took her eyes away from his eyes as she feels bored with the atmosphere presently. Damien isn’t obviously fun to chat with.

“Damien,” she called suddenly after looking out of the window once again.
He didn’t speak, instead, he turned his head around in her direction while waiting for her to speak. “Let’s do some shopping before going to your house. I haven’t been outside in a long time and, I want to check new things out,” she requested in a pleading manner, with her eyes glaring sincerely at him.

Damien sighed deeply, dropped his phone beside him on the car seat then said. “This is public Annabel and it will be crowded. You can do shopping later after getting enough rest at home,”

“Why not now? I will just get some things and then we will leave, I’m fine and can walk without slumping,” she insisted stubbornly.

“I’m a public figure. The drama will be created if I follow you out there,” Damien refused.

“What drama? Ain’t you my brother?” She queried. “No one out there knows that I have a sister,” He answered gently.

He has gotten over the anger he felt in their recent conversation, and presently, he was just trying to make Annabel understand the situation of things.
“They should find out now. I won’t hesitate to elbow anyone who tries to poke nose,” she blabbed in excess.

Damien breathes out helplessly. Surely, arguing with Annabel won’t sort anything out. She looks determined and insisted on what she wanted to do.
Easy to do but difficult to carry out. Damien could have asked his guards to go with her but for the safety of his precious sister, he can’t leave her alone to be guided by them.

“Drive to the ShopRite,” he instructed the driver who nodded his head in understanding.

“Aww… You are so sweet,” Annabel rejoiced and hugged him right. Damien’s mouth formed a soft smile, while he patted her hair as a happy brother would.
*
They came down from the car and Damien led the way into the ShopRite with Annabel’s hand in his. Four of his guards are walking behind them. They are to ensure safety and make sure no one comes closer to them, as instructed by Damien.

Steadily and slowly, they both watched their steps into the mall, at the same time ignoring the stares from the people. It’s not everytime that they get the chances to see Damien in public.

Pictures speaks more of Damien than his presence ever done.

Damien feels uncomfortable with the stares, especially the ones which his female fans threw at him, but there’s nothing he could do.

Annabel on the other hand marveled to see the city and the things that it comprises.

Only her knows how long she’d fought with darkness before tracing her steps back to brightness.

She didn’t notice all eyes on them earlier, but when she did, she couldn’t help but blush inwardly.

Her concentration that was elsewhere turned to the attention which was from the ladies. All are gawking because of her brother’s presence? wow!

‘Damien must have been a big public figure’ she wondered in her mind.

Looking up to see his face which he kept forward and cool as they walked, hand in hand.

Her heart danced in satisfaction knowing Damien is her brother and all ladies here must have been jealous of her.

They must have thought of her as his girlfriend. After all, Damien said, nobody knows that he has a sister. Ops! Their bad luck.

“Oh wow! Damien Stewart is here,” one of the ladies beamed from the stand where she was shopping when they both finally walked up to the available items. Annabel wants to grab few items from there.

Everyone who hasn’t been concentrating on what was happening left their businesses to mind Damien’s business.

Irritation was revealed on Damien’s face when he realized the ladies bringing out their phones to take pictures of him. Now, this is the terrible scene Annabel is forcing him to create.

“Let’s get some sandwiches,” Annabel beamed and then dragged him off to where the sandwiches were arranged.

She let go of his hand to pick some for herself and probably for Damien, even though it doesn’t seems like he wants it.

“Everyone is staring at you,” Annabel admitted to him after dropping the items that she picked in the basket which was carried by one of the guards.

“All thanks to you, are you ready to leave? We’ve created enough paparazzi attention,” Damien asked.

Him speaking gave the ladies who are crazy about his presence another bundle of captures on their phones.

“I will get a cup of ice cream and a wine for Disguise, then we can leave,” she told to him in consideration.

Damien’s eyes rolled around the moment he heard that. Lazily, he walked behind Annabel as she scurried away from his sight.

***
They were still by the stand while searching for a fruit wine as wanted by Annabel, when all of a sudden, a female fan of Damien ran out of the people present who were taking their time to mesmerize the presence of Damien with a strange lady, whom they never knew about.

She speed too fast that Damien didn’t get to know of her mischievous act until she was being dragged back by the guards when it remained little for her to bounce on Annabel.

“Let me go!” She yelled as one of the guard held her hands firmly, preventing her from taking a step closer to Damien, or Annabel.

Her coming forward isn’t because of Damien, rather, it was because of Annabel.

No one knows what she was up to until she started screaming at the guard who held her, and at the same moment flashing Annabel deadly glares.

“Let go of my hand, I need to teach her a lesson,” she tried forcing her way out of the guard’s grip.

Annabel took her eyes away from the wine stand to observe the lady.

Entirely, she doesn’t know what was going on. Why is she yelling on her?

“Stay away from my Damien! Else I will show you what it feels like to be butchered,” she threatened non-stop.

Anger built up in Damien’s body. His stomach grumbled in anger after he heard that fool of a fan throwing tantrums at his precious sister. Those genders are really disgusting.

Damien without saying anything took a step closer to Annabel, grabbed her hand, and started heading out of the store room with her.

The remaining two guards came along with him, together with the basket which contains the items that Annabel picked. “Go and pay for those,” he said to one of them.

“Damien, why are we leaving?” Annabel questioned.

“Do you want more of that?” He asked in a heavy tone while he battled with his anger secretly.

“The guards has taken care of her, she couldn’t have done anything stupid to me,” Annabel stated when she realized the reason behind Damien’s sudden act.

“Just another minute over there and I would have joined her scene. We are leaving,” Damien rushed his words.

They walked up to the car outside, and after the door was opened by a guard, Damien made Annabel enter first, then he got into the car too.

Annabel’s hand after being finally released by Damien finds its way to fold below her breasts.

If she had a chance, she would spank that female fan of Damien on her worthless brain. Why would she drop out of nowhere to create a scene that cut her first outing short.

The remaining period of the journey back home isn’t fun. Damien neglected whatever complaints Annabel wanted to make, and also, she stopped trying to speak to him.

*
When the car drove into the mansion, both of them poured out of the car.

“Ask Disguise to show Annabel to her room,” Damien instructed a guard.

“Go and get some rest,” he told to Annabel who’s eyes were looking around the big mansion. Does all of this belongs to Damien?

Damien after saying those left before she could reply, although she wasn’t planning on answering.

She watched as Damien walked towards the house. Even though they’ve gotten to the house and the guard’s presence ain’t needed around her anymore, they didn’t move an inch away from her.

This is not the kind of lifestyle that she wants. She ruffled her hair tiredly and then took the path that her brother is taking to the mansion.

*
When she was closer to the door, Vera came out of the house with a faint smile on her face.

“Ms. Annabel,” she called and moved closer to Annabel.
“Hi! Disguise, how are you?” Annabel smiled sheepishly when Vera stood in front of her.

“I’m fine Ma’am,” Vera nodded her head. This time around, there was no smile on her face anymore.

“A guard came to get you?” She asked as she watched all the guards leaving her after she started speaking to Vera. Good!

“Yes Ms. Annabel,” Vera replied.

“Alright… Please show me to my room, I’m exhausted and needs to sleep.” Annabel requested.

“Should I get your food up to your room?” Vera asked as they appraoched the house together.

“No, thanks. I’m alright,” she declined and they both walked into the house together.

‘New problem has arrived’ Vera’s mind screamed at her.

To Be Continued…

Vera’s mind is mad😂
Okay, Annabel is back home🌚 drama will unfold.
