Lord Dom went to the mini bar in his quarter to get a drink— while thinking about everything that has been happening; with the Boss in the West d£ad along with his other Bosses bothers him a lot.
He looked through all the wines but he couldn’t find his preference. He loved wines a lot that he always spent a fortune to get them in every given opportunity.
He left his quarter, heading to the wine bar in the mansion when he saw Jake lurking around.
“Boss,” Jake called, and bowed slightly.
“Why’re you here?”
“I tailed someone here,”
“An intruder?”
“No,”
“Then what?”
“Boss, it’s Rick, he came here with Celia I don’t know where they went exactly but they’re around here,”
“Why would he bring the nanny here?”
“I don’t know, but I sense a foul play,”
“Ok. Keep searching for them,” with that, he continued on his way.
He entered the bar and heard a loud cry for help so he stormed out immediately and saw Jake heading that way as well.
They both headed to the direction together and saw Celia and Rick together. He ordered Jake to deal with Rick while he went to Celia.
She fell to the ground trying to get up, and he let out a sigh wondering why he has to be caught in such situation with her.
He helped her up and she smiled cutely creasing his face.
“I was right. You’re the real Mr. Dragon,” she said, and placed a kiss on his lips.
Before he could respond to the kiss, she passed out on his shoulder.
“Boss,” Jake called and hurried to them immediately.
“How’d you handled the pervert?”
“I locked him up in the dungeon, I’ll take her with me,”
“No, I’ll take her, lead the way,” he said, and Jake gave him a weird look before he obliged.
*
He placed Celia gently on her bed and was about to leave but she held him back.
“Your hand… it’s so warm,” she mumbled.
He stared at her blankly, remembering the women that has ever said that to him were his mother and his wife.
He released her hand gently and went out to Jake who was standing by the door.
“Boss, what do I do with him? Rick?”
“Should we feed him to c0ward, or send him to the East?”
“Boss…”
“He messed with the wrong person, he messed with Aria’s nanny. Aria chose her herself, so what better punishment does he deserve?”
“Boss… Celia followed him vulnerably,”
“So? Is that reason enough to take advantage of her?!” he snapped.
“I’ll follow your orders, Boss, but I believe we should hear Celia’s opinion on this too. She might end up blaming herself for his punishment,”
“So, you want me to receive order from her?”
“Not that—“
“That’s enough. Let’s do that, but that will be after I return from the West. Till I return, keep him locked up and keep your eyes on the nanny,”
“Boss, to the West. . I’ll station more guards to Lady Aria’s quarter,”
“Yeah, find a replacement for Diego and the pervert,”
“I’ll do that right away before our journey to the West,”
“Our?”
“Boss, you can’t go to the West alone. Remember what Lady Bianca did to you,”
“I know. I won’t be going alone. Mr. Cason is back and I have other capable men as well. Our brave Caroons will also be there. Jake, being here with Aria is the only way I can be settled in the West. Even if I get attacked again, Aria just need to be in safe hands,”
“Boss, you should be safe there as well. You’re the only one who can protect the Little Lady,” Jake said, and Lord Dom chuckled.
“I’m sure Bianca can’t be stupld enough to attack her guest. That will be all,” with that, he left and Jake bowed slightly at his retreating back.

Celia yawned quietly and turned on her bed before opening her eyes the following morning. The throbbing headache that welcomed her made her shut her eyes back immediately, and she opened them back gently.
She looked around and tried to remember how she got to the room because the last thing she remembered was having a drink with Rick.
“Yes, Rick. So what happened afterwards?” she thought, trying to scan her memory but she couldn’t remember anything.
After thinking for a while, she went to freshen up with intention to ask Rick about it later.
*
She opened the door and was startled to see Aria and Jake by the doorway.
“Aria, you startled me,”
“Why did you slept in? I waited for you for my morning jog!” Aria blurted, and she gasped.
She didn’t check the time when she woke up, but checking it now, it was past 10am.
“What? How could I sleep for that long?” she gasped.
“It’s fine. It happens,” Aria said.
“I’m so sorry about that, Aria,”
“I just said it’s fine!” Aria snapped.
“Oh, yeah. You said so. Did you have breakfast?”
“Yes. Daddy went on a business trip, so I had breakfast alone in the dinning room,”
“Oh…”
“You can return to your room or have breakfast, I’ll be in my room,” with that, she left.
“Gosh. How can a little girl be that intimidating?” she grumbled.
“You call that being intimidating?” Jake said, and she shot him a glare wondering why he was starting a conversation with her.
“What?” she grumbled, and walked past him looking for Rick.
She searched around and was confused to we new men instead of Rick, so she went to ask one of the men she was familiar with after him.
“Hi, have you seen Rick?” she asked.
“No,” he blurted.
“I know where he is,” Jake said, approaching her.
“Really? Can you take me to him?”
“And why should I? The last time I checked, my job isn’t to follow your orders,”
“Then you shouldn’t have jumped into a conversation that you aren’t involved in,”
“Come with me,”
“So you got no pride,” she grumbled, tailing after him.
They left Aria’s quarter and she started wondering if he was setting a trap for her.
“He can’t hurt me. I’m certain about that because I’m Aria’s nanny,” she thought.
“If you aren’t, I would’ve fed you to c0ward long ago,” he blurted, and she gasped.
“What? Did I say that out loud?”
“We’re heading to a basement, it’s not a trap. That’s where Rick is,”
“What? Wait. If he is detained to a basement is not a a must I see him…” she grumbled.
Thinking about it, they’ve nothing important to discuss, she just wanted o ask him what happened the other night.
“Exactly! Why do you what to see him after everything he did to you?!” he yelled.
“Everything?” she muttered, “Did he hurt me last night?” she asked, and he let out a sigh.
“Don’t you remember?”
“He really did?!” she shouted, and the memory of the night flooded by in her head.
She ran off the moment she remembered everything; from when she got drunk to Rick trying to take advantage of her, and when HE showed up to her rescue.
Mr. Dragon, the real Mr. Dragon who was the Boss, and it all collide to the memories of her nightstand.
“Celia, why’d you suddenly ran off?” Jake asked, approaching her.
“Did Mr. Dragon really went on a business trip?” she found herself asking.
“What Dragon?”
“No. Not that. How did you know that Rick was there? No, was Rick transferred to the basement because he hurt me?”
“No. He is imprisoned there,”
“Really? What will happen to him?”
“I’m not sure. The boss will decide that,”
“What do you think his decision might be?”
“I’m not sure, but you can save him if you want to,”
“Why would I? He deserves whatever punishment he gets!”
“Even if the Boss feeds him to c0ward?”
What’s c0ward?”
“The dogs,”
“So be it. He almost took advantage of me, so he deserves whatever he gets,” she blurted, and Jake stared at her in disbelief.

Celia did nothing much all day because Aria was still pouting over her tardiness. Aria stopped pouting eventually and they spent all day together having fun.
The day was spent well and she was able to think about Mr. Dragon at night. They did same routine the following day and the day after until Lord Dom returned from his business trip.
Everyone assembled by the entrance as his car drove in, and one of his men went to open the door for him.
“Welcome back, Boss!” they all bowed.
“Daddy!” Aria shouted, and ran into his embrace.
“I’ve missed you so much,”
“That’s an obvious lie!” she snapped.
Mr. Cason alighted from the next car, they bowed to him as well and Aria ran to embrace him.
“Grandpa!” she shouted.
“Little lady,” he called and carried her up.
They all went in together later and Aria spent most of the day with Lord Dom and Mr. Cason until Lord Dom took Aria back to her quarter when she was already asleep.
“Oh, I’ll take her to her room,” Celia said, and collected the sleepy Aria from Lord Dom, trying to avoid eye contact with him.
She collected Aria and put her to bed before returning out and was startled to meet Lord Dom there.
“That startled me!” she shouted.
“Didn’t we have some unfinished business together?” he said, walking closer to her.
Each step he took closer, she counted backward until her back touched the wall.
“Not what you’re thinking. We will discuss that later, for now, come with me,” he said, and he spun around to leave.
“Who’s he to know what I’m thinking? What does he thought I’m thinking?” she grumbled, cursing him quietly.
“Stay at least five meters away if you’re going to talk behind my back,” he said, and she gasped at the thought that he heard her.
She covered her mouth with her hand, tailing quietly behind him
