{ BE MY GIRLFRIEND/THE ESCAPE }
<NEXT MORNING••AMELIA’S PLACE>
After dressing up,Amelia peeped through her door to see if Raphael was in.
“Thank goodness!” She sighed out and stepped out of her room only to be grabbed in the hand by him as she did.
“You think you can escape from me huh!” Raphael yelled and almost slapped her but Amelia dulged it.
“What is it again dad?” She yelled,trying to loose from his hold.
“You’re seriously asking me that? If you want a recap,then I’ll remind you… Have you forgotten? You haven’t fulfill your end of the deal!” Raphael yelled back.
“So what? Were you really going to sold your only daughter for money?”
“Of course,what’s the use of us working if we can’t live comfortably? And you agreed to do it if I gave you the CCTV footage,do you know how hard is it for me to get that?!”
“I don’t care. I don’t like him, I’m never agreeing to this….” Raphael slapped her hard before she could finish.
“Dad!!!” Amelia held her reddened cheek.
“I have no choice then,if dragging you to him will make you come into your senses,then I’ll do it!” Raphael smirked and the door opened immediately,Sebastian came in with his mens.
“Dad what is going on?” Amelia asked fearfully as they launched towards her.
“It’s exactly what you’re thinking,take her away!” Raphael pushed her to them.
“I don’t want to… Let me go!” Amelia struggled from them but one of the men kicked her tummy and she passed out. He carried her.
“She’s all yours to do wh@tëver you want with!” Raphael grinned as Sebastian hand him some money.
“Thanks for trusting me with her,father in law” Sebastian smiled.
Raphael nodded with a smile.
“I’ll see you at the hotel!” Sebastian lead the way and his men followed with unconscious Amelia in their hand.

“You’re late!” Rudy said as Minnie entered the car.
“Sorry,this is our first time going on a date after a long time. I have to look my best” Minnie said with a pout.
“Really?”
Minnie nodded.
“Of course,by your way where are we going?” She asked.
“A surprise!” Rudy smiled.
“I can’t wait then!” Minnie said as Rudy started the car.

<ROSES AND PETALS>
Lily was busy staring at her phone when Mrs Rose came in.
“Don’t tell me she’s still not picking up?” Mrs Rose asked.
Lily nodded.
“What can possibly happen to her? She’s not the type to skip work!” Mrs Rose mumbled.
“I know right,I’m really worried.. I hope she’s okay” Lily said.
“What are we gonna do now?” Mrs Rose suddenly panicked.
“Why? What’s wrong?” Lily went to her.
“We just got a lot of orders! The graduation ceremony of famous Joyride highschool is in three days and we’ve to prepare for all their kinds of flowers!” Mrs Rose explained.
“What are we waiting for? We should start now?”
“We both can’t do it alone and you know it” Mrs Rose chuckled.
“But we can try to make the end meet,it’s still better than nothing and as for Amelia I’m sure she’ll be back tomorrow!” Lily assured.
“I hope so!!”
“What kind of flowers did they want?”
“They want a few hundred roses, tulips, and carnations. I’m still not sure what colors they want. Anyone will do” Mrs Rose explained.
“We’ve got this okay?” Lily said and Mrs Rose smiled.
•••
<THREE DAYS LATER>
Lily rushed out of the house after getting dressed. She suddenly spotted a strange vehicle parked in front of the house.
“Rudy?” She said,a smile on her face.
But to her surprise,the driver’s door opened and who stepped was Ricky,not Rudy. Her smile faded.
“Disappointed?” Ricky asked.
“I thought you were Rudy” Lily muttered.
“Rudy? Who’s that?” Ricky raised his brows.
“Why are you here?” Lily asked ignoring his questions.
“I’ll be dropping you off at work today!” Ricky smiled.
“But why?”
“What do you mean why? Since we had our last kiss,you’ve been avoiding me and…
“Fine! Fine! Stop talking about that okay?” Lily rolled her eyes before getting in.
“Happy now?”
Ricky nodded.
“Very happy!” He said.
“Wh@tëver!” Lily scoffed.
Ricky started the car. It only took ten minutes before they got to the front of the shop.
“Thank you,and see yah!” Lily waved and get off.
“Wait…..” Ricky came out of the car too.
“Lily!” Mrs Rose called from behind and Lily turned.
“Thank goodness you’re here. The school just called me,they want their order as soon as possible,or they’re going to cancel it”
“What?” Lily’s eyes widened
“What are we going to do now? What about the bus we requested?” She asked.
“They are not picking up! What should we do Lily?”
“Wait here….” Lily stepped aside and tried Rudy’s number,he didn’t pick up at first.
When he did,it was Minnie who answered it.
“Why are you calling my boyfriend so early in the morning Bîtch? What do you want from him?” Minnie voiced over the phone.
“I’m not ready to pick a fight with you Minnie,can you put Rudy on the call,I really have to speak with him,please” Lily pleaded.
“My answer is no! You know why? Cos he ask me to told you he’s busy with me! I’m hanging up now cos we’re quite busy!” Minnie smirked and hang up.
“That w*tch didn’t just hang up on me” Lily scoffed.
“Is everything okay?” Ricky asked beside her.
“Yes!” She nodded and went back to Mrs Rose.
“I’ll find a way to take care of this okay? We can still get a new bus and…
“I can take you there if you want!” Ricky interrupted.
“It’s fine,you don’t have to!” Lily said.
“Can you really handle this alone? Let me help….”
“Don’t be stubborn Lily! Just allow him okay!” Mrs Rose smiled patting her shoulder.
Lily sighed.
**
Lily’s phone suddenly beeped during the drive.
*I’M FINE*
It’s from Amelia.
She had been trying her number for the past three days but she never pick up and now she’s only texting her that she’s fine.
No matter how she stared at the text,it’s just kinda weird.
“This isn’t how Amelia text!” She mumbled.
Ricky turned to her.
“What’s wrong?” He asked.
“Nothing!” She fake a smile.
“Are you sure? You can tell me anything” He said.
Lily explained everything to him.
“Are you trying to say she’s in danger?” Ricky asked.
“I dunno,I just hope she’s not” Lily replied.
“Why not go to her house if you’re worried,we can head there first before going to the school…”
“I wish we can,but I don’t even know where she lives” Lily said.
“Is that even possible? I thought she’s your friend?”
“We’ve been friends for years but Amelia can be very secretive. I feel like I don’t even know her.. it’s my fault for never trying to,we’re always talking about me but I never ask about her family” Lily sighed sadly.
“You don’t have to be sad about it now,you can always make it up to her” Rudy said.
Lily nodded.
“Thank you!” She smiled.
The rest of the drive took fifteen minutes.
“Is this the place?” Ricky asked and Lily nodded as she stared at the address on her phone.
He pulled the car to an a halt and get off first,he opened the front door for Lily to come out.
As they pulled up to the school,a few guards were waiting outside to help them unload the flowers.
But as soon as they stepped into the school grounds,Ricky noticed a few of the students staring at him.
The girls in particular were giving him intense looks.
“Do you have any idea what’s going on? They’re all staring at me like I have two heads” He whispered to Lily.
“I’m not sure!” Lily just shrugged.
It only Increased when they got to the school hallway.
👥 OMG! Who’s he?
👥 He’s so handsome!
👥 His he even real?
👥 I doubt it! He’s so handsome!
👥 Please look at me!!
Lily’s anger was boiling over as she listened to the girls’ whispers. And to make matters worse,Ricky was smiling and nodding at them.
She was fuming as they walked into the auditorium and were led to the stage.
Lily started arranging the flowers,doing her best to focus on the task at hand and ignore the stares. But it was getting harder and harder to concentrate as the whispers grew louder and louder.
Ricky suddenly grabbed a girl’s hand.
“You shouldn’t take anyone’s picture without their permission. Delete it!” He said.
“I’m sorry but you’re really handsome. Can you tell us your name? Then we’ll delete it!” The girl said.
“UHM… Jun hee!” Ricky replied.
“Awww, you’re even a Korean. No wonder you’re so handsome Oppa!” The girl gushed.
“Can you delete the photos now?” Ricky asked.
The girl nodded and immediately delete it.
“You’re too hot to be real!”
“Oppa! My foot!” Lily scoffed.
“Really?” Ricky was still smiling at the girls, oblivious to Lily’s growing frustration.
She couldn’t take it anymore.
“Seriously? Why is he smiling so much huh? I’ve never seen him smile so much,not even with me!” Lily said clenching her fist together.
•••
<FEMALE RESTROOM>
Lily raised her head from the zinc and stared at her reflection in the mirror.
“He took more than week for me to know his name but he told them so quickly! Such a jerk!” She scoffed and walk out.
“I won’t mind having a night stand with him if I had the chance,he’s too hot!” A girl said.
“You can say that again,I can’t help but imagine himself inside me. Füçk!” Another said and they both laugh.
“But,the girl he’s with! Do you think he’s his girlfriend?”
“Never! Why will he stoop so low to date someone like her? She’s so ugly and he’s too good for her!” The second girl scoffed.
“I agree with you,we should do everything we can to get to him!”
“You don’t have to,cos he won’t even look at you” Lily said.
The girls turned to her and scoffed.
“Says who? You might be older but you can’t doubt we are more sëxier than you! You look like some old grannies!’ The first girl said and they both laughed.
“He’s mine okay,stay away from him!” Lily yelled.
“And if we don’t?” The girl pushed her chest.
“What’s going on here?” Ricky ask from behind.
The girls rushed to Ricky.
“We didn’t do anything to her,she suddenly started picking a fight. Saying you’re hers!” They said.
“But we don’t believe her….
“You should!” Ricky cut in.
“What?”
“You should cos she’s my girlfriend and I love her so much!”
The girl gasped.
“You should get going cos the party has already started” Ricky said with a smile. The girls glared at Lily before walking away.
“Are you seriously fighting a highschool students because of me?” He faced her.
Lily scoffed and tried to leave,he grabbed her hand.
“I thought you don’t have feelings for me? But you just said I’m yours huh”
“Forget I said anything….
“I don’t want to” He pouted like a kid.
“So what? I said it out of anger….”
“Does that make you my girlfriend now?” Ricky asked.
Lily went mute.
“Should I just go to them and tell them I was only joking…”
“Don’t you dare!” She pulled him to her level and pecked his lips.
“Does that answer your question?” She turned away from him.
“I love you!” He kissed her forehead and hugged her.
“I love you too!” Lily said hugging him back.

<NIGHT••MP MANSION>
“So,what happen to the pizza you promised to get for me?” Cody asked as he got to the living room,meeting Trace.
“Right! I got home soaked and the pizza was ruined so I threw it out!” Trace replied.
“Why? I could have had it like that!” Cody groaned.
“Foodie,you can always order another if you want” Trace scoffed.
“But…”
“No but,I’ll transfer the money to you since I promised okay?” Trace said and Cody smiled.
“Thank big bro!” He jumped on him,Trace pushed him off.
“Stop doing that frequently or anyone will get the wrong idea!” Trace rolled his eyes and got up.
“You’re no fun at all!” Cody sneered and sat on the couch,he grabbed the remote and changed the channel.
📺 THIS IS TO INFORM YOU THAT, SEBASTIAN MONTES,THE FAMOUS SUCCESSOR OF MARYVILLE HOTEL HAS A NEW FIANCE AND THEY’LL BE GETTING MARRIED SOON 📺
“Another fiance? What the f*ck? Get married? This isn’t his first time introducing his fiance? I feel bad for the girl who got trapped this time,she’s really pretty” Cody hissed and changed the channel.
“Return it back to the channel!” Trace shouted,Cody did ad he said.
“What’s wrong?” Cody asked.
Trace glared at the TV for minutes.
“Who’s he?” He asked,his eyes still glued to the TV.
“Sebastian Montes,a rich famous share holder of Mr Cooper’s hotel and also an influencer. He’s a two faced jerk,he acted all nice on TV’s and shows with his supposed fiance but goes demonic off screen. He forced them into an unlawful marriage with them a week after dating and start maltreating the girls as soon as they are married. He does that every week,how come you don’t know him?” Cody explained.
“Really?”
“Of course,he’s very famous and dangerous. In short he’s a mafia lord!” Cody said and Trace eyes widened. He turned and immediately grabbed his car key from the table.
“I’ll be back!” He said and ran out.
“Trace wait! Trace!” Cody shouted after him.

<GREENVILLE HOTEL>
“Help! Anybody! Help me please!!!” Amelia cried out as she banged the door nonstop but nothing happened.
It was as if she has been taken to a private island where no one can find her. Cos since she was abducted,the only time the door opened is when Sebastian’s men brought her food which she almost didn’t touched.
But she had to eat something to keep living anyway.
“Help me please!” Amelia continue crying.
“It’s pointless finance,nobody will help you here. Why not just accept your fate?” Sebastian voice said from behind.
Amelia slapped him.
“You jerk! How come you’re still living happily? You’re an animal in human clothing,I h@të you so much!” She yelled.
“I’ve heard that a lot so I’m not really moved sweetheart. If you know what’s best for you,strip before I finish washing up,we’re about to have a long night together” Sebastian smirked and entered the bathroom.
What did she just hear? Is her virginity going to be taken away by a man she didn’t even know just like that.
“Help me!” She cried out, her voice growing more frantic as she heard the shower running in the background.
Moments later,Sebastian stepped out from the bathroom,wearing only a towel around his waist.
His expression was dark and menacing.
“I see you’re not going to cooperate.” he said and grabbed Amelia’s by the hair and threw her onto the bed.
He came on top of her and started trying to rip off her dress.
“Let me go!” She struggled to free herself from his grasp,but he was too strong.
“You want it the hard way huh? I’ll give it to you!”
“Let me go…..” She bit his hand and Sebastian yelp.
“Aargh!”
Amelia pushed him off and kicked his balls hard before running out.
She got into the elevator and pressed all the buttons shakingly at once.
She don’t care where it took her,as long as she get away from this beast.
Luckily,the elevator doors opened on the top floor.
Without thinking,she ran out and pushed through the first door she saw.
She found herself in a large,open parking lot. She started running towards the exit,searching for a way out.
Suddenly,a car raced towards her,and she froze in terror.
She thought it was one of Raphael’s men, and she turned to run. But then she heard a familiar voice call out.
“Hey,wait!”
It was Trace!
She ran towards him and threw her arms around him in a tight hug.
“What took you so long?” Amelia broke into tears.
“Huh?”
“Aren’t the male lead supposed to come in time to save the female lead in Kdramas? Why are you just coming now?” She cried as she held onto him tightly.
Trace continue staring at her in shock.
