Love You Can’t Say

I put away all the tea set and my phone started to buzz again. I was rendered nervous as soon as I saw the caller’s ID. I hurried into the bedroom before I could continue with the talk with Nanny Daisy.

“What are you doing?” I answered the phone as I entered the bedroom. I couldn’t help trembling all over while answering.

Then I heard him chuckling, “Clara, why are you being so nervous? As your brother, can’t I just have a chat with you?”

I hated hearing his insidious chuckles. I bit my lips hard, “Leo, we are not kids like what we used to be five years ago. Now both of us should live our own lives. Please, let it go.”

I would rather die than live in the hell he created.

“Clara, come on, we are brother and sister! How could I bear to depart from you! Even my life has gone meaningless without you. I need you!” though he tried to convince me with warm words, it still sounded horrible.

I was almost driven into a breakdown. I shouted through the phone, “Leo, what the hell do you want from me?”

He had always acted like a phantom, haunting me and scaring me.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

“I want you!” then he hung up the phone after this hair-raising answer.

Before I could collect myself, I got a text from him, ‘No. 221, GF Street. Clara, do remember to show up on time at 4:00 PM.’

Though it was just a brief text, it still took me quite a lot of efforts to regain my calmness. While grabbing my phone hard, I told myself that I would never get trapped once again.

Since I could never get rid of Leo, I decided to figure out a solution to convince him to stay away from me.

Then my phone was buzzing again.

It was a call from Dennis. I picked it up and heard his cold voice, “Dress yourself up and get ready for a banquet with me tonight.”

As I was still distraught because of Leo, I paused and then asked, “Is it important? I feel like staying at home because I don’t feel well today.”

After a few seconds of silence, he asked seriously, “Are you feeling really bad?”

“Not that bad. But I feel like staying at home.” I replied.

But then I asked tentatively, “Is it a really important one?”

“It’s okay. Just stay for a rest.” He still sounded husky and restrained. No one could tell what was in his mind.

After hanging up the phone, I texted Diana. Then I dressed up and drove to the location as Leo texted.

It was still hot and sunny at 4:00 PM. The street was bustling and hustling as usual. When I arrived, I noticed that the location referred to a high-end shop offering tailor-made suit.

I didn’t go straight in. Instead, I tried to dial Leo’s number but no one answered. Then a lady in cyan dress came over from the shop.

She smiled while looking at me, “Excuse me, are you Miss Kennedy?”

I nodded.

She kept the smile on her face still, “This way, please. Don’t worry. Mrs. Kennedy has told us everything we should do. Just trust us.”

I followed her upstairs to the VIP room. After giving assignments to the other staffs, she led me to pick up an evening dress.

Of course I could tell what they were told. However, I still had no idea what Leo was going to do to me. What was worse, my phone was taken away.

Then I was fixed in front of a dresser and then the lady smiled at me, “Miss Kennedy, don’t be nervous. We have the orders from Mrs. Kennedy. Please be patient and sit tight.”

It only took about ten minutes to finish the makeup. I frowned while looking at my face modified, feeling annoyed.

But Leo still didn’t show up. Instead, there was a black Bentley expecting me outside the shop, while the chauffeur of which looked young.

But I didn’t want to get in. I said to the chauffeur with my arms crossed, “Where is the location? I can drive my own car.”

“Miss Kennedy, don’t I deserve your trust?” the chauffeur said with a smile.

I nodded, “You are right about that!”

Perhaps my answer had gone beyond his expectation, he seemed to be a bit surprised. But he still wore a smile, “Don’t worry, Miss Kennedy. Mrs. Kennedy just fancies attending a banquet with you. He just wants to introduce you to his friends.”

“You can just tell me the location!” I still stayed alert because I had no idea what Leo was up for.

The chauffeur got off and opened the door for me. He smiled politely, “Miss Kennedy, please don’t embarrass me. Besides, Mrs. Kennedy has also learned that you asked Miss Diana to come with you. So he has already made his man to pick her up. Miss Kennedy, please don’t fail his kindness.”

Leo actually threatened me with Diana.

After a while of struggle, I smiled and still decently got into the car. There was no doubt that Leo was good at making me give in.

I had no idea where we were bound for at the very beginning. About more than an hour later, the car reached a resort hotel located in S AREA.

When the car entered a golf course in the south part of the suburban area, I finally realized where I was.

Newtown Town had been an ancient place famous for its history. Though it had also been following the development of the modern world, the traditional culture inheriting from the ancient time still remained.

Actually, Newtown Town barely related to military nor politics. It was still regarded as a city of renown as it was the hometown of a lot of eminent persons in history. Thus, most of those privileged elders would like to get a piece of land in Newtown Town for their retirement.

So S AREA had turned to be a focus of the rich and the powerful. Though this city upheld the principle that all men are created equal. However, for most of the common, it took more than a life time for them to even step in a bit.

But still, people had been striving to be part of the class here. Of course, the reason appeared to be obvious-every man you randomly encountered in this area might be the one who could offer you a chance to blow.

The car stopped after entering the golf course. Then someone beckoned me to get off and to get into another black Bently for private use only.

Then I finally saw Leo after I entered. He looked gentle and eminent. Then he fixed his cunning and shining eyes on me, “Clara, it has been a long time.”

I lifted the hemline and was about to get off out of instinct. However, he grabbed me and fixed me on the seat. Then his deep voice sounded, “Clara, just stay. I fancy a romantic reunion.”

However, his sweet words still sounded bloody to me. I tried hard to hold back my fear, “What did you do to Diana?”

He raised his hand and stared at me attentively. Then he answered casually, “She is still fine.” He lifted my jaw and said, looking a bit upset, “Clara, you look thinner. But you are still gorgeous.”

I lowered my head to avoid talking to him.

“the Knight Family has been a privileged family in Newton Town for more than a hundred year. You should know how many high-rank officials were raised in that family, right? They even take dominance in the business world. Just stay with me. You will have the greatest life guaranteed.” Said Leo seriously.

I frowned, wondering what he had done during the past five years when he went missing. How did he turn himself to be one of the top in both the authority and the business world from a hacker only?
