Female Novel
Chapter 2021
“Just tell me if you need anything," said Luke. He thought that the reason why Vivian chose the Capitalwas mostly because of Gordan.
Although she had made up her mind to leave Gordan, she still missed him in her heart.
"Alright. I'll not hesitate to ask for help if I need it." Ray nodded. Vivian was the one who could decidewhere she would be going. He could not interfere.
Ray had friends all around the world, after all. Even if Vivian wanted to travel to some state in Africa, hewould still be able to make arrangements for her.
However, he did not encourage Vivian to head to countries that were lagging behind other countries asshe would suffer there. That was why Ray agreed right away when Vivian chose to head to Luke'scountry, and he had already begun to make arrangements.
Ray glanced at the time. It was late. Luke was his guest, so he should not be taking up his time to chatwith him. Hence, Ray said, "It's late. Let me ask the maid to bring you back to your room."
"Sure." Luke did not reject him. He knew Vivian had arranged different rooms for each of them. Hewould like to return to his room as soon as possible to see what Luca was doing.
The maid pushed Luke's wheelchair and sent him back to his room.
Luke asked the maid to leave as he did not need her to serve him.
The maid turned around and left.
Luke had asked where Jason's and Luca's rooms were. Jason's room was opposite his room, and hisroom was right beside Luca's.
Luke maneuvered the wheelchair closer to the wall.
There was no sound from the other side.
Perhaps the soundproofing was too good, or Luca was already in bed. Luke could not hear a thing.
Luke picked up his phone and sent a voice message to Gale, "They don't have to keep an eye on hertonight. Let them rest earlier."
Gale had arranged for his men to keep an eye on Luca to prevent her from disappearing all of asudden. Thus, there were still people following them even when Luca was just beside Luke.
However, they were currently in Ray's villa. The security here was good, and Luca was unfamiliar withthe environment here. Even if she wanted to leave in the middle of the night, it was unlikely that shecould leave without alerting the security guards.
Luke looked at the pajamas Vivian left on the sofa. It was a brand new set of pajamas. He quietlychanged into pajamas without showering this time.
He had showered at the hotel before he came here. That was why he did not feel uncomfortable even ifhe did not shower here.
Luke held onto the armrest of the wheelchair and stood up slowly. He landed steadily on the floor withjust one leg. Then, he slowly turned around and sat at the bedside.
He had become familiar with doing this while experiencing the inconveniences of his injury after the caraccident.
Luke lay down on the bed and tucked himself in.
His ears were still listening to the movements in the next room. However, he did not hear anything untilhe fell asleep.
Luca did not sleep well.
She felt something was wrong in the middle of the night.
Luca opened her eyes and looked around her in the dark. She sat up on the bed with beads of sweaton her forehead.
Due to the restless sleep, not only was her forehead full of sweat but her body was sweating too.
There were footsteps and noises. Those people were gabbling away in Russian as though they wereafter someone.
The noises were far away, and Luca could barely catch any information.
Someone had broken into the villa.
Danger!
Luca turned on the lights immediately and looked around her. She was afraid that she might be takenaway while she was asleep. That was why she hung a cup on the door handle before she slept. Thecup was still hanging on it. No one came in.
Where were Luke and the others?
Luca climbed out of bed right away. She was worried about Luke.
Ray was a famous leader of an underworld organization here. The person who dared to break into hishouse must be as powerful as he was. Luke was defenseless now, and he had an injured leg. It wouldbe dangerous if he was taken by those people who broke into the villa.
Luca could not be bothered that much. She ran to open the door barefooted, thinking of rushing toLuke's bedroom to protect him.
Luca had just opened the door when she saw Jason standing behind Luke's wheelchair in front of herroom.
“Mr. Crawford, are you alright?" Luca asked caringly.
"I'm fine. Are you okay?" Luke woke up earlier than she did. That was why he managed to hear moreabout what was happening. The person who broke into the villa was hiding somewhere, and Ray'ssubordinates were checking every room now.
Luke was worried that the person who came was the man manipulating Luca, and he was also worriedthat she might be taken away. Hence, he asked Jason to push him here to guard her room.
Luca pushed the door open while Luke was hesitating if he should open the door.
“I just woke up..." Luca glanced around her and realized that she could hear the noises clearer aftershe pushed the door open. However, they were some distance away. She asked, "What happened?"
"Someone broke into the villa and triggered the security system. Ray is looking for the intruder now. Isthere anything strange in your bedroom?" Luke asked. He was not worried that Ray's enemy wouldcome looking for him. After all, Ray had many men with him, and he could solve this. Luke was onlyworried about the person who was manipulating Luca.
"I'm fine. The windows are locked. No one came in." Luca let out a sigh of relief when she saw Lukewas safe and sound.
She was glad that Luke was alright.
The moment Luca knew someone broke into the villa, she worried about Luke's safety the most. Nowthat she knew that Luke was safe, she set her worries aside.
"Okay. Ray's men are looking for the intruder. Stay in your bedroom, close the door, and lock it. Don'topen the door if it's not me asking you to open it," said Luke. Luke was assured knowing that Luca wasalright. He planned to look for Ray and find out what was going on.novelbin
Luca listened to his words and frowned. "Mr. Crawford, are you going over there?"
"I'd like to see if there's anything I can help with," replied Luke. Ray's villa had always been peaceful. Itwas only after they spent the night here that someone broke into his villa. He was afraid that this hadsomething to do with them or Luca.
Luca was about to say something, but she hesitated and looked at Luke.
Luke was good at fighting, but he was injured now. What could he do?
Luca selfishly thought of asking him to stay in the room together with her and stop him from risking hislife.
Before Luca managed to say anything, she saw Vivian walking toward them hurriedly with twobodyguards behind her.
"Brother Luke, are you alright?" Vivian saw the three of them standing outside the door. The expressionon her face was serious. It was obvious that it was her first time encountering such a thing.
Previously, even though many were against Ray, those people were not dumb enough to send peopleto break into his villa and assassinate him. After all, it was not a guaranteed success.
That was why the villa had always been safe.
"We're alright," said Luke.
"That's great. Ray told us to stay in a room together until he finds the intruder," said Vivian. Then, sheglanced at Luca's bedroom and said, "Let's just stay here."
Vivian knew nothing about this. The only thing she could do was not to cause trouble for Ray. Takinghis word for it would be the right choice.
"All of you stay here. I'm going to look for Ray and see if there's anything I can help." Luke looked atthe two mighty-looking bodyguards. He was assured that having them guard the door would be enoughto stall things for a while even if someone came for Luca.
