Chapter 5: The Incident
Derek was momentarily stunned. He expected Alex to ask the question, but he didn't think he would do so so early. He had decided to leave the talk for later as he didn't want Alex to get worried during the ball.
So, now that it was the time, he collected his thoughts and started with a bit of uncertainty;
"Well, I don't know where to start..."
Alex realised that things were worse than expected and reassured saying,
"Don't think too much. Now, recall the whole incident to me."
Derek couldn't help but let out a heavy sigh. He stopped the car at a corner in the street and after taking a deep breath, started recalling the events from the airport...
- A few hours ago, Veturia Central Airport -
When people saw that the man meeting the beautiful woman had her paper name plate in his hands, they realised that he was just someone to meet her. It was most probable that she wasn't even a local, as they would have known if such a person was from around here. Realising that that she was about to leave, a few men decided to approach her and try their luck. They started looking at each other as if waiting for the first one to make a move so that they could better assess the situation.
Soon, someone's patience run out. Moments after Siana took the lead towards the exit he blocked her path. She tried to bypass him but he moved at the same time as her not letting her move forward. She stopped and furrowed her brows questioningly looking at the man in front of her.
Seeing that he succeeded in stopping the woman, the man said with confidence but with slightly suggestive way,
"You don't seem to be from around here. I happen to know all the best places here. How about I take you for a tour?"
He stopped, looked behind Siana and now continued with a lewd smile on his face, "That guy seems to be just a guide. I guarantee I am better than that guy in a lot of aspects," lowering his tone he said in a lecherous way," including night activities too."
Siana stayed expressionless. Derek was about to come forward and put the guy in his place when the other men took the chance to play the heroes. Moments later they were surrounded with men and even women who were arguing with each other about what was the best for the girl.
Derek realised how out-of-control the situation was getting. He started looking for gaps to get away from the crowd, however, the situation escalated fast and now there were way too many people surrounding them. He moved his body closer to the girl trying to protect her from people surrounding them. However, those people were persistent and were trying their hardest to pull the girl to their side, after all, one wouldn't see someone with such a unique disposition that was not acting all disgusted with common people.
The scene was chaotic, looking like a famous celebrity being surrounded by die-hard fans.
Derek quickly collected himself and looked at the direction of the hidden bodyguards. He was about to take his phone to contact them and allow them to come out of their hideout when a group of bodyguards in black approached the group. Initially no one was paying attention those men but someone soon realised something after seeing the emblem on the men and with a trembling voice stuttered; "Gre... th..the Greydale guards."
The name 'Greydale' soon spread among the crowd like a wildfire. The men's presence and the oppressive aura alone were enough to suppress the crazy crowd. Everyone, including Derek, looked at the guards with withheld breaths.
All people could think of at that moment was a name: 'Cain Greydale', and the name alone was enough to give them shivers. Those guards being here could only mean one thing: Cain Greydale was here and the fact that he sent his guards meant that they somehow disturbed his peace. This was no good news: they needed to quickly get away from here.
Derek had the same thoughts as others. He was analysing his surroundings to devise an escape plan for the young miss when one of the men spoke to the lecherous man with a tone that could freeze people alive, "You sure are brave to dare and hit on master Cain's woman."
It took a few seconds for people to digest these words. Though his words were directed to that first man who didn't behave properly, they somehow felt that the words were a warning to everyone present. Once the meaning of the words sunk into people's minds they started panicking and shivering in extreme fear. Even though a lot of people didn't even offend her or try to hit on her, they were still frightened that they might have angered that tycoon's woman.
Meanwhile the newcomers swiftly moved to open a path for Siana to exit the crowd. When the guards started moving, some people close to them lost their footing because of the weakness in their legs while some that had tried to take liberties with the woman almost lost consciousness.
No one dared mess with Cain Greydale. It was the same as signing your death sentence with the devil. Afterall, he was not called 'The devil king' just for show.
The lewd man from before almost peed his pants. Gathering all his wits he loudly crushed onto the ground and taking a kneeling position said with a shaky voice,
"I...I am sorry. I am s..so s..sorry. Pl..please, let m..me li..ve."
His voice cracked in the end leaving nothing of the previously arrogant man. Many people that have tried to touch Sia before, followed suite and kneeled to apologise. Soon, the voices of people apologising could be heard everywhere.
From the beginning till the end Siana stood there in silence. However, after the guard's statement there was a shift in her expression and a dark glint flashed through her blue-grey eyes. Looking at the people around her she soon got tired and took the chance to walk through the 'escape route'. Noticing that Derek was still in a daze she turned and told him, "Let's go."
Derek didn't even have time to process her words and in his stupor mechanically followed her. When they reached the man whose single sentence caused the current situation Sia stopped. Despite the man being taller than Sia, her gaze alone was enough to make her seem bigger. She looked the man in the eyes and finally told with detached tone that covered layers of anger,
"Please, convey my thanks to your master Cain for helping me out of this situation." Before continuing she took another glance at the man in front of her as if trying to see through him.
She then went on,
"Oh and please make sure to tell him, that he shouldn't go around and randomly claim other people as his. I have nothing to do with him and am definitely not his woman! He better remember that!"
She said and proceeded towards the exit without sparing another glance at the man. She also did not seem to mind the fact that her words caused everyone's hearts almost stop from horror.
Well, not exactly everyone was horrified as her words actually caused a slight arc to appear on the devilishly handsome face of the man in a certain corner of the airport.
