Escape ..
Camilla ducked as she saw some men approaching .
Thank goodness the place was not heavily guarded due to few goods there ..
She looked around and noticed the two men taking another direction and she heaved a sigh of relief .
She moved further there and she met Dos waiting .
She really wanted to hug , kiss and do anything close to him now but she knew this wasn’t the right time .
Without saying anything she jumped on Dos back and he threw down the rope as they slid down immediately .
Dr Albert had already opened the escape door for them and they quickly ran out.
The emergency button went on immediately and the guards became alerted .
” They are escaping , get them ” the head guard shouted and they started firing bullets but they were quick to enter Dr Albert’s car which was already waiting for them .
Before the doctor could get in and drive off , a bullet grazed his hand leaving an injury there .
The gunshot not deterring him , he got in and drove off as they chased them .
Dr Albert knew something like this was bound to happen so he had devised a road which they won’t know off and he quickly turned in through the road , through the other and they lost them .
Camilla breathed a sigh of relief as she laid her head on Dos chest while Dos stroked her hair .
” We lost them , good job team ” Dr Albert said and they smiled .
Camilla got up and drew out the first aid box there and brought out some cotton wool , aspirin, spirit and a plaster .
She applied the spirit to the cotton wool and cleaned up the little trickles of blood on it and he winced a bit .
” Who would think that the doctor would need to be treated ” Dos said in a mocking tone as they laughed. .
” Here, all better now “. Camilla said as she placed the plaster on the hand .
Albert smiled appreciatively as the pain reduced .
” Here, have some painkillers ” she said handing him the aspirin with a bottle of water .
He halted the car and threw the drugs into his mouth , gulping some water to push it down .
” So where are we headed now ?” Camilla asked .
” The airport , we are leaving the country this night *” he said and Camilla gasped .
” What !! , Where do we go to , I don’t even have any of my credit cards here . What about our education , what about Korea ” she said and Dos sighed.
” Everything would be fine. It’s already arranged, you will start school as soon as you get there while I start working . If we as much as spend a night or day here . We would be caught and my dad won’t relax this time ” he explained and Camilla sniffed as she hugged Dos .
” She would really miss Korea , Seoul ., Ma’am Kim ” she teared up as she thought about these things and Dos felt his heart break at her tears .
He caused all these by falling in love with her and making her fall also .
If he even leaves her and stop dating her, his dad would still come for her so what’s the need than to just leave with her.
They were brought out of their thoughts as Dr Albert pulled up in the airplanes parking spot .
” We are here ,,,
” Camilla i think you should wipe those tears of yours to avoid suspicious looks ” he said and Camilla nodded as Dos handed her a handkerchief to use in wiping her face which she did .
Dr Albert arranged his shirt properly and he picked up a jacket to cover up the wound .
Dos arranged his shirt and used his hand to style his hair .
He kissed Camilla lightly and gave her a reassuring smile .
” I love you ” he said and kissed her again .
” I love you too ” she said smiling .
” Enough of the lovey dovey , let’s go out before we miss our flight ” he said as he came down and walked to where his family were seated .
His pregnant wife and two kids .
” Flight 234 California announcing ” the sound blasted and Camilla looked at Dos .
” California ” she said with a surprised look .
” Yes babe ” he said holding her hands as they walked towards the flight . They got in and their sit numbers were on same row .
So they occupied the two seats there with Camilla close to the window .
Mr Albert and his wife took a seat while the children were taken to the children section of the plane since it was an executive flight. .
They all were looking forward to a new phase of life for them and they hope it would be a good one .
The plane ran on the tarmac before taking off into the sky ..
…….
Lucia washed up the plates and carefully dried them up before arranging them.
She met Lucien picking out a movie and she returned back to the kitchen and got popcorn , and two plates of icecream .
She joined him and sat down handing him the plate of popcorn .
” Thanks babe ” he said snuggling her closer and Lucia blushed going closer.
Lucien stroke her hair as he thought of possible ways to tell her of his trip .
Lucia remembered the love test and concluded she would begin tomorrow .
She noticed how tensed Lucien looked but decided to wave it off .
” Lucia ” he called softly and Lucia raised her head up .
” Hmmm ” she answered paying rapt attention.
” I will be going on a trip tomorrow and will return after two days ” he said and Lucia jerked up.
” Oh a business trip I guess ” she said and Lucien nodded cupping her face.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
” I promise you , you won’t miss me too much , you would go to work with one of the cars and you can go shopping if you want and if you feel like getting pizza , burger or anything use the card ” he said and Lucia nodded sadly
” I will miss you ” she said and Lucien chuckled as he hugged her.
” I will miss you too and another thing, …
He paused for a while not knowing how to break the news .
“Lucia, I and my secretary are going on the trip , she signed the deal ” he said and Lucia pulled back immediately .
” What. ! Sleeky snake ” she said with anger .
Lucien palmed his face as he tried to touch her .
” Don’t touch me ” she said and with that ran up the stairs …
Damn ..,,
