chapter 3

Roselyn Bell

I was currently running like a maniac. If anyone would have seen me like this they would have thought that I was running from some murderer maybe. I quickly pushed the top floors button. I was becoming restless so I decided to dash there. It was three floors above. I quickly took the stairs.

"Mr Rashnikov," I said as soon as I opened his cabin's door. I was now huffing and puffing. Ross was standing and it seemed like they were about to leave.

"Wow Kitty are you okay," Ross asked me while giving me a glass of water.

"No! Look at it" I gave them the paper. Adriet snatched it away from me. He was looking at it intensely. My breath was still not normal.

"Where are you living," he said while the paper to Ross.

"I am live with my friend just a few blocks away," I said.

"You can't stay there now. You'll have to come with us" he said in a dead-serious tone.

"What?" I didn't know what to say. I mean he was a complete stranger and he was asking me to come with him.

"I think Kitty you should come with us. Because after reading this I don't think they will leave you alone from now. So it's better that you come with us" Ross said while waving the letter in front of my face.

"Wait wait wait," I said hurriedly, "I am not going anywhere with you people. I mean I don't even know you, you people might be some serial killer or psychopaths. I am definitely not going anywhere with you" I said, "and what am I going to tell Chloe" I asked.

"Look Bell I don't care what you do but you are definitely not staying here, it's not safe," he said in a dangerously low voice.

"But-" I was cut off by Ross.

"Kitty you have to come with us. You don't have a choice" he said while sighing.

"What am I going to tell Chloe," I asked in frustration.

"That is your problem. Do whatever you want to. We are leaving in 5 minutes" he said and walked out.

"Your time is ticking away Kitty," Ross said while tapping his watch and he too walked out. What am I going to tell Chloe? I went to my desk Chloe wasn't there. I decided to leave her a note.

Dear Chloe

I am sorry that I am going with informing you personally. I don't know when I will come back. Don't worry about me I will be safe and yes I will call you once I'll reach the place.

Rose

I quickly folded the paper and left it on her desk. I collected my bag and went outside. I saw Ross standing casual near one of the Ashton Martin. He was looking at his phone.

"Kitty," he said as soon as he saw me. He kept his phone aside.

"Where are you guys taking me," I asked. I was scared because I didn't know these people no matter how rich or how good looking they were.

"Relax we aren't kidnapping you are something. This is for your own good" he said with a smirk.

"Where's Adriet" I asked when I was not able to spot him.

"He's in the car. Let's go" he grabbed my hand and directed me to one of the cars.

"You go in this I will be coming in the other car," he said.

"What I don't want to be alone," I said while making my puppy eyes.

"Adriet is in there," he said with a chuckle, "Don't worry"

"Now that's what I need to worry about," I said while rolling my eyes.

"Don't worry I'll meet you at the airport?" he said with a laugh and then went away.

Wait, what airport?!?!?!?!

I quickly entered the car. The interior was very beautiful and classy. I saw Adriet going through his phone. He looked very intense and I don't know but he looked just like an ideal businessman was supposed to look. I looked away from him and stared out of the window. This is so boring. At least if I would have been with Ross I won't have been sulking like this. He would have entertained me. I looked again at Adriet he was still glued to his phone. Argh. I decided to start the conversation but before I could say a word he asked.

"Why are you being so restless" by his voice I knew he was irritated.

"Well I am not being restless I am being bored and here you are glued to your phone like a magnet. Anyways I just wanted to know where am I going and for how long will I be gone" I said it in one breath.

"You speak a lot. And for those unnecessary questions let me tell. First of all, it will not be only you but I and Ross will also be gone secondly you don't have to worry where are we going and last but not the least, try to keep that pretty little mouth of yours shut in front of me" he said in a cold arrogant voice.

"Oh, and why do you think I'll do that. Last time I checked United States grant each and every citizen of their certain rights and you can certainly not snatched them from me" he looked at me with amazement as if I had just cracked some joke. I think I had said it is a pretty tough voice. Damn him. Damn everyone. I looked at him again he was still looking amused. I frowned at him.

"Hey you what are smiling at Mister," I asked him. He was getting on my nerves. He just laughed and started scrolling through his phone again. What a jerk. I thought to myself.

When it finally seemed like forever and I was about to doze off when the car stopped. Where are we? It was an airport. I was just looking from the window here and there when Mr Arrogant Jerk said.

"Now I think you have your right to walk or do you want me to call my lawyer so that he can tell you your rights to walk," he said in an amused tone and then walked out. What asshole. I quickly made my way out of the car.

"Kitty" suddenly Ross said which made me skip a heartbeat.

"You...." I was so pissed at him right now. I was already scared and he was not helping me either.

"So how was your ride with Adriet" he asked with a smirk.

"Boring," I said in a flat tone.

"Ah..... don't worry you can sit with me in the plane," he said and went away. I was trying to keep my pace with him but it was impossible to do so.

"Bell. Can you just walk faster" I heard Adriet yelling at me?

"I am trying to. You guys are walking way too fast" Jerk.

We soon reached the check-in area. I didn't have any luggage with me. What am I going to wear for the next few days? I wasn't able to see where Ross or Adriet were. Were they planning to leave me here?

"Why are you roaming like this" Adriet suddenly said from my behind making me jump.

"Will you people stop scaring me" I said while keeping my hand on my chest.

"Come now. We are getting late" he said and grabbed my hand. He leads me to a corridor where no one was there. Soon few aircraft came in my view. They all had Rashnikov written on them with red in italics.

"Are they all yours?" I asked in amazement. They were around ten.

"Make a wild guess" sarcasm dripping from his tone.

"Okay, I get it" they were really dumb of me to ask that.

"Mr Rashnikov the plane is ready" one of his guards came up to us and said.

"Thank you" the guard went away and then Adriet turned to me.

"Now you listen to me. Once we reach Montana you will stick to my side whenever I say. You will keep away those claws of yours and try to behave like a civilised person" he commanded me as a little child.

"Okay mother," I said. I didn't like to be ordered around but I guess he will do that anyway. We were now on the plane. The interior was exotic and classy. It had comfortable looking seats. There was a lot of his bodyguard's seating already. I was finding Ross but he wasn't anywhere. Where is he?

"Ms Bell" I turned and saw a man in his late twenties smiling at me. He was as tall as Adriet and Ross around six-foot talk and had sharp features just like them. Why the heck are they so good looking.

"Yes," I said when I was finally done with my daydreaming.

"I am Will Brown. Adriet must have told you about me" he said with a smile. He had a very charming smile.

"Ah..... was he supposed to," I asked with an awkward smile.

"What is this Adriet you didn't tell her about me," he asked him as he entered the plane. Rashnikov, as usual, gave him a glare and then walked away to his seat.

"He can be rude at sometimes," he said with a chuckle.

"Yeah tell me about it," I said and rolled my eyes at that.

"Come let's go the flight is about to take off," he said and sat near one of the empty seats near Rashnikov. I went and sat beside Adriet.

"Where is Ross isn't he coming with us?" I asked while fastening my seat belt.

"Kitty I told you I will be coming," Ross said and came sat in front of me, "couldn't have left you alone," he said with a wink.

"Oh right," I rolled my eyes at him. Soon we were in the air. Just then an air hostess came. She gave Adriet his laptop and few files to Ross and Will.

'Thank you Chelsea" Adriet said in a low husky voice and that too with a smile. Weird. But it was really very beautiful smile. They all soon started going through their work. I was again getting bored man why do they work so much. God. I didn't even have the window seat so that I could look outside. I don't know how long I was like that but then I finally fell asleep.

I woke up when I felt someone was fastening my seat belt. Adriet. Of course.

"Go back to sleep will wake you up," he said. I wasn't able to process much but I fell asleep again.

______________________

I woke up when I felt something moving. I heard a few people talking.

"Do you think we should tell her" it was Will.

"I don't know what do you say Adriet" Ross asked.

"I think we should tell her at least then she will trust us," Adriet said.

"Adriet from when do you care if people trust you or not," Will asked. But before Adriet could answer I stirred a little bit and then woke up. It was all dark I was not able to see anything clearly. I then realised I was sleeping on someone's lap all the time. I was sleeping on Adriet lap all this time. Goddddd that's so embarrassing. Thank god it was dark otherwise everyone would have seen how furiously I was blushing. I quickly stood up.

"What time is it" my voice was very dry.

"It's seven in the evening seems like you had a very good sleep on Adriet's lap," Ross said. I could feel him smirking.

"Just shut it," I said it in a duh voice. I was kind of embarrassed. But why was I even like that, I mean he could have woken me up.

"We are here sir," the driver said. Swiftly everyone got out of the car. I followed Adriet out. We were standing in front of a hotel in the same hotel where I worked.

"Mr Rashnikov here are your room keys," the receptionist said and gave him three keys.

"Why did she gave you only three keys we are four I guess," I said.

"Yes but you will be sharing your room," he said while pressing 39 on the elevator.

"With?" I asked.

"Me," he said. Why should I be sharing my room with him? I mean I was a girl and maybe he should be sharing his room with one of the boys, but where were they.

"Don't you think you should be sharing your room with Ross or Will?" I asked him suspiciously.

"I hope you remember what did I say before coming here," he asked while narrowing his eyes at me.

"Fine" he is such a jerk all thinks is about himself and his stupid ego.
