Derek looked at the 2 people in the garden of the mansion who were chatting, the sound of laughter of the two people reached the balcony where he was standing at the moment. Amy looks healthy, with both cheeks flushed in the sun, her smile expanding making two deep-decorating dimples on either side of her cheeks.
Derek takes a deep breath .. The feeling of insecurity continues to excite him after Amy's escape in the woods. The girl never had any intention of telling her about herself who had suddenly disappeared in the forest. Doesn't he think, even if he escapes from Derek, there's still Jack out there who won't stop hunting him.
Derek looked back at the two girls down there. It appears that Amy is leaning her head towards Reggie, whispering something that makes Reggie growled and shake with a reddened face, then again sounding melodious laughter as if she was happy to tease Reggie. Derek turned back to his room, it was time to make the girl know his current situation and position.
******
Amy looked at the face in front of her. Derek looked cold .. as if there was something wrong he had done.
Derek was very gentle when he was sick and hurt. Carrying her in arms wherever Amy wanted to go inside the mansion. Her legs, which were covered in scratches, were painful as they retraced, a soft and happy feeling incarnated in Amy's heart as each attention was given by the man. Derek even carried her to the bathroom, and teasingly would bathe her, so Amy was so embarrassed and threw her away by splashing water.
Then when he was better and healthier, the man began to keep his distance, limiting every movement of Amy in the mansion, he could only go out to the park , even then with the care of several bodyguards that Amy knew were around there even though it was not visible, even though there was always Reggie beside him when he came out of the mansion. What is Derek afraid of?
"What do you think of when you go to escape into the forest? " Derek looked at the girl before him with a flat face. He sat behind a large table in the room to keep his distance from the charming-looking Amy in a pale yellow dress and her brown hair left on her back.
Confusion overshadowed Amy's eyes. The girl said nothing.
"Do you think, when you can reach Bess village, there will be someone who will help you get out of this area!?"
A sharp understanding on Amy's face, her confused eyes stoned Derek, until Derek seemed to see the blue gem glittering.
"Jack is waiting to catch you!! Reggie had already been caught once while trying to escape from the main mansion, the luck was good because Mike was not late. Even if his leg has to be shot again!"
Derek took a peek at every inch of the girl's face. Waiting for her opium-like lips to rebut her words.
"Do you feel .. a foolish and spoiled girl like yourself will manage to escape and be free from the hunt of Jack's thugs! Compared to Reggie who is stronger than you!"
Amy remained motionless in her chair, undaunted by Derek's raised voice and clasping, but Derek's words had just hit her feelings.
The feeling of sadness over Amy, whether since when the hatred and anger at Derek for the murder of his father has changed with other feelings that Amy herself has not dared to confirm. He lowered his face deeply to avoid Derek's sight.
Derek tightened his molars. Amy's bowed face without the slightest refutation made all her conjectures right all along. The girl wanted to run away from him .. escape the protection Derek gave her. Wanted to go welcome his own death at the hands of Jack Langton.
"Arthur should have educated you hard!! teach you how to survive, instead of pampering you and surrounding your life with all the ease and protection...."
"A weak girl like you won't be able to survive out there!!"
Amy felt a puddle of tears begin to gather in both her eyes. As powerful as he could, he held back that his melt would not fall. Derek would have insulted her even more if he started crying now.
"Now follow my orders! don't think of a way to escape! You're my prisoner Amy Sky!! And make sure you understand where you are now. You're no longer the princess in your father's house!!"
Silence filled the room. There was no movement or sound. Derek stared intently at the girl who was looking down before him. Still hope Amy refutes and refutes every word. But the devastated feeling the girl felt towards Derek's words made her feel numb, silence was the only way for Amy to keep her heart from breaking and the dam of her tears from breaking.
I'm nothing more than a prisoner ... Amy whispered those words over and over again in her heart.
The footsteps that entered the room distracted Derek.
"Derek .. We need to talk." Mike stopped his words when he saw Amy's whereabouts.
" Continue on, Mike!" derek's orders.
Mike shut his mouth. Refusing to continue because of Amy's presence. He wants to talk about Reggie's plan to bait Jack out of hiding, letting Reggie get caught after implanting a chip into the girl's arm, so they know where the girl is after being caught. Reggie's right, they can't wait forever in worry.
Mike can't keep his anxiety at bay forever because he feels Reggie's life isn't safe. But the plan must be made mature without any loopholes to fail, because Regina's life is at stake. There's no way to talk about it in front of Amy.
Realizing he was interrupting the conversation of the two men. Amy stood up, turning her body towards the exit without saying a word.
The girl's stiff body and head that was bowed in made Mike feel astonished. His outstretched arm pulled Amy's elbow as the girl passed by, with Mike's fingers propping up Amy's chin so as to see the girl's entire face.
Amy tightened the molars, holding back her tears from falling. Rushes Amy to break away from Mike, No one else will judge her as a weak girl. Enough with Derek....
"I agreed to Reggie's idea to lure Jack out of hiding, Mike! It's just we're not gonna feed Reggie. Jack wants Arthur's daughter, so we'll give her that!"
Amy shivered at Derek's cold words just before he walked out the door.
