Dying in silence

What?

“Find a way to distract him, Sam”I chimed in.

“What?, a way?”she scoffed.

“Yeah. Sam. Bore him with unnecessary talks and I’ll also be there very soon”I breathed rapidly.

“What type of talks, I don’t really know what to say to him”Sam lamented.

“You know what?, just ignore that call, okay?. Ignore it”I said and she gasped.

“Gosh, do you wanna get rid of me that much?”she said.

“No one is getting rid of you, just do what I say and I will deal with the rest”I replied and she hung up.

I dug my teeth hard on my lips and fidgeted with my fingers which has surprisingly became wet.

Geez.

This isn’t good.

My phone started ringing and I quickly picked it up without looking at the caller thinking it was Sam.

“Hello, Fontana?”Darrel’s voice came out and I sighed and relaxed back on the seat.

“Hey”I managed to voice out.

A dead silent stepped in making me wonder if he has disconnected the call.

I removed the phone from my ear and glanced at the screen to see the call was still ongoing.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

What’s up with him then. Why did he suddenly went silent.

“You have something to say?”I asked as I placed the phone back on my ear.

“No, yeah, well, yeah. You suddenly left even without coming in, why?”he asked but somehow he doesn’t sound like the Darrel I know.

I mean, it was Darrel but he was talking unlike himself.

“Something came up, I’m sorry for missing your party”I apologized.

“It’s.. it’s okay. Be safe, Bye”he replied and I nodded as if he could see me then disconnected the call.

The driver horned the car and I looked up to see we are at the gate.

Oh.

Mama mercy.

You really showed me what your name really holds this night.

Thanks Mama mercy.

“We are home”I said.

“Seems like”the driver replied and drove in when the gate man opened the gate.

Darrel’s Pov

I inserted my phone in my pocket after Fontana ended the call and turned to the guys.

“Happy now?”I asked clearly enough for them to hear because of the ear blasting music that’s being played in the room.

Harry had asked me about Fontana and when I told him she had left, he thought I was lying to him and tell me to prove it to him by calling her which I did.

“Not so happy. We miss another opportunity so you don’t expect us to be happy”Harry scoffed.

Okay.

So, I noticed Harry is more obsessed with the bet than others. What’s up with him.

“I don’t like what we are planning one bit”I said and Harry scoffed.

“I don’t know what is between you and this girl but you have to get yourself together, man. This is unlike you”he ranted.

Yeah.

Totally unlike me.

Why I’m i trying to protect Fontana from them. Totally unlike me but, I just don’t want to hurt that timid girl.

Harry sighed and glanced back at the people that was drinking and dancing.

“We hosted this party because of that girl and since she won’t be coming anymore, let’s just end it here”

Fontana’s Pov

I rushed inside my room and met Sam sitting on my bed with her phone she was on a call, probably with Dad.

Thank God.

She sighed and gestured for me to come closer.

“Go wrap a towel”I read her lips.

I nodded and took the towel from the hanger then moved inside the bathroom.

I changed into the towel and walked back to the room.

“You can call her now, sir. She’s done bathing”Sam lied as she saw me walk out.

The call ended and she drop her phone beside her.

“Ah, I almost had an heart attack”she breathed out, holding her chest.

“And this is all because of you”she glared at me and just stared back at her.

“Gosh, why won’t you say something”she groaned.

“Something like what?”I asked.

“You almost got me into trouble so are you asking me what you will say right now?”she scoffed.

My phone started ringing and glanced at it then back at Sam.

“You got yourself into this mess yourself. You are way too busy with that guard to forget about the show I had tonight”I snorted and walked to the table where my phone was.

I swiped to the right when I got to the phone and dad’s face popped up.

“Your face doesn’t look like that which was just coming from the shower”he said.

Geez.

I should have sprinkled some water on my face.

“That’s because I dried my face”I lied and he nodded.

“Anyway, so, Sam said she had forgotten to tell you about be the show so I’m just gonna reschedule it back to tommorow”he explained.

“Tommorow?, I’m… I’m busy, I mean, I have a lot to do tommorow so I don’t think I’ll be free”I answered.

“Busy with what?”he asked, narrowing his eyes at me.

“Okay, dad, that’s being nosy and don’t give me that look, it’s a private thing”I said.

“Did you get yourself a boyfriend and you plan on spending the day with him tommorow?”Dad asked and I rolled my eyes.

“I didn’t get a boyfriend”I replied.

“Alright, fine, I’ll reschedule the show back to next tommorow which is Monday”he said.

“So, Monday are also hectic but I’ll be less busy on Tuesday”I folded my lips in.

“Okay…. then, Tuesday it is”he nodded reluctantly.

“I’ll hang up now”I said.

“Yeah, good night”he smiled and I also smiled too then I interrupted the line.

“That was a relief”I sighed and slide my phone back on the table and turned back to look at Samantha.

“Yeah, a relief cause I almost lost my my job because of someone”she rolled her eyes and get off the bed.

“By that someone, you mean the guard, right?.. cause I don’t know how he did it but he did it, to fill all his memories inside your brain enough for you to forget about the show”I replied and she scoffed.

“Good night”she said and tried walking out.

“Tell him not to give you so much hickeys cause the one he gave you this morning was pretty much”I joked but she pretended not to hear anything as she finally walked out.

I smiled and threw myself on the bed.

Hm.

I stared at the ceiling and my mind drifted to Darrel and I found myself smiling.

I could remember what he was putting on even though my brain didn’t registered it but I could envisage it but I can’t describe it.

He looked really handsome in the outfit.

Hm…

Unknown pov

I entered the room and met boss with some other guys in.

I bowed to him and looked up at him.

He sniggered and removed the cigar from his mouth.

“How are you?”he asked, rather grumpily.

“I’m fine”I replied even though I didn’t get why he would be asking about my well being.

“Who said I was asking about you?”he scoffed.

“How are you with the girl”he asked.

“Uhm, I’m still at it”I replied.

“You’re still at it?”he scoffed again.

“Yes, sir”I bowed.

“Hm, anyway, I received an information from our informer, she said the girl went out this night but how gutsy of her to go out late at night after knowing well that someone is after her life”
