Filthy Rich by Atarah Yvaine (ereader ebook TXT) 📕

He is wearing a shorts with an open beach shirt that exposes his abs. A cool sunglass is covering his eyes. His hands are on his pockets. I don't know what to do. Should I run? but there's no point in doing so. He already saw me and I should not panic because he may not know anything. If I run then he will be suspicious of me. It's better to stay.

"Done checking me out?'' He and his brother share the same boastfulness. He combed his hair using his fingers trying to act cool but he is really cool and hot though.

I rolled my eyes at him and he laughed.

"Hey, what's with that expression. I am hot. I am handsome. Look at this" he flexes his abs and biceps in front of me. I gave him a half-suppressed laugh.

"Hey, hey, hey why are you laughing? I'm serious" his shoulders are slumped forward with his sulky facial expression. Opps he share the same child-like personality with Deus too. I laughed even more.

Tres Cavelli is here. The youngest of the Cavelli's Golden Trio. Among the three Cavelli's he is the affable one because he really has this kind charm or magic effect that makes people like him. I witnessed that the first time we met in the hospital and I confirmed it just today. I already met his older brother and I've been with Deus for months and I personally think Tres is also the most talkative and has the great sense of humor among them. I like his personality.

He walked towards me and help me get up. He quickly looks at my face and arms like he is trying to find something.

"You got bruises. Fuck!" he said as he noticed a small bruise near my elbow. He has the same cursing machine mouth like his brothers too.

"Let me see your thighs." he checked it out too and I feel a bit awkward but I think his intention is not as bad as the pervert man earlier so I let him.

"There's a hand mark. That asshole touched your thigh shit! I'm going to get killed by my brother. Pray for my soul" he seriously checking my arms now. He gently raises them up and down and try to look for more bruises. Next, he intently looks at my face maybe trying to spot some scratches there.

"The retard's hand left a mark on your cheek too but I think it will be gone soon. Just a little redness" He roam his eyes in the entirety of my face and smile.

"So gorgeous. Now I got reminded why my fuck of a brother is fucking whipped" he said taking a few steps away from me.

"Except from the small bruise I think you're fine." He lazily put his hand back on his pocket.

"Thank you" that's the only thing that comes out from my mouth. I don't know what to say actually. A lot of questions are in my head right now. I want to ask him everything to suffice my curiosity but I got my tongue tied.

"No worries, Ellie. Be more careful, okay? I will just be around looking over you, don't worry. See you around." he turned his back on me and walked away.

He is not here to get me? Deus didn't ask him to?

I felt disappointed. I thought.... I thought...

Stupid Heaven, you really think you are that important to him? You're not. My chest tightens and I suddenly wanted to cry.

"Why are you here?" my emotions stirred up so I asked him because there is this part of me that wants to know why. I want to confirm. I want him to say something that will alleviate the pain that I'm feeling.

He faced me.

"I'm looking for a girlfriend." he playfully said while he is smiling so wide and rubbing the back of his neck. So, he just accidentally found me here? Did he know that I runaway? Maybe Deus didn't even tell it to them or to anyone because he didn't care.

"Oh, Goodluck" I smiled at him.

" I'm on a mission for my new Chevrolet Corvette. I'll see you around" he waved and that's all and he left. I didn't see him again the whole night. He said he will be watching me but I can't find him. I am roaming around trying my luck to have longer conversations with him. But luck wasn't on my side.

I was too occupied in finding him that I didn't even notice that the sun already set and darkness already succumbed the surrounding. The party is noisier now that some of the visitors are already drunk. Most of them are dancing and singing.

I felt my legs stiffened because I've been walking for hours. My stomach also starts churning. I'm hungry. I walked towards the mansion and go straight to the kitchen.

"Are you enjoying the festival? " Mama Yen is here drinking some coffee. I think she's taking a break from the noise outside. I sit in the high chair and massage my aching legs. They are so tired.

" Yeah, but my legs are already tired and I'm hungry." I said holding my churning tummy.

"Ok. I'l go prepare you some food." she started preparing me something to eat.

"Have you seen Ali?" I asked Mama Yen. I didn't saw her around. I need to tell her that I met Tres. We need to do some plans. Tres might tell Deus of my location. But do I really want to continue hiding?

" No, I thought you two are walking together." she replied

"We separate ways and I haven't seen her si......"
