Chapter 1
"Farm boy, can you treat me some coke and hot pizza?"
Chase raised an eyebrow and looked at his companion Sky. They have just stolen a rare diamond from the house of a rich collector. They will return the diamond to the museum where it was taken.
"And why don't you buy eh you have money?" he spoke rudely.
"I'm tired."
"And you think, I'm not tired?"
A faint laugh escaped Sky and a meaningful look on his face. They were inside its car. It has not yet started the vehicle. From the pocket of his pants the man pulled out the phone.
"It's up to you. You might want to celebrate this one on social media. What would be the comment?"
He presented the phone to him and that was how widened his eyes were when he saw his own picture there. He was just wearing a small towel while front drinking coffee. He raised his right foot and covered a vase with red-roses flowers on his genitals. It was obviously a stolen shot... That picture was taken when they were having fun together at Rouge's house. He took a bath in its swimming pool and that was it. He was brave then because they were the only friends there. And he did not know that someone took a picture of him secretly.
"Am I good at taking angles?" Sky grin evil.
A deadly look he threw at it. It did not budge.
"What, treat me a pizza and cold coke and then you have a chance to delete your sexy-hot pic! Deal or no deal?"
Chase clenched his right fist tightly. He looked at his friend angrily.
"NO DEAL!"
Chase punched Sky in the face. He did not expect what he did and he took the opportunity to snatch his phone. He got out of the car and quickly ran away. When Sky calmed down, he immediately got up and rubbed his cheek. His friend's punch was not solid but he did it just to snatch his phone.
"You want to chase ah! Get ready when I catch you! You'll treat for a week! Wrong, a month!"
Sky wasted no more time. He immediately chased after Chase. Chase looked around, Sky was definitely chasing him now. He entered a small alley and he came to a small compound. He has to hide so he can delete the picture.
"You bitch!" he whispered.
When he found a place to hide he quickly deleted his picture on Sky's phone. He fiddled with his friend's gadget and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he had no more embarrassing stolen shot there. After that he left immediately. He will go home and Sky will take care of his life.
Meanwhile... Gabrielle closes her eyes tightly when she hears her Aunt Mathilde's noisy voice. 'Gratitude', she was tired of hearing that word from here. She was orphaned early because her mother got breast cancer and that is why she was buried in debt to her aunt. But she has already paid all the money she owed from it because of what jobs she entered. And now, all she wants is to be free from its power. It just doesn't want to let her go, of course because it benefits from her... Her aunt was her mother’s cousin and this is the only relative she knows. Her mother is a single mom and she has no idea about her father because her mother does not say anything and not once, she did not plan to ask. Her Mother was enough for her. She did not need her father who abandoned them.
"Open it! Let's talk in depth! Do not be rude! You may forget, I am the... "
She no longer understood everything it said. She already remembered. This case is said to have helped when they were broke. And more blah, blah, blah... She continued packing her clothes and belongings. She just saved enough money so she could get away with it and come what may where she is going to. What matter for now is her freedom.
"I'm going to break down the door of your room and be ready for me when I get in there!..."
It looks like her good aunt lost the gamble again so she has a hot head. And she already knew the reason why it was bothering her again. It will ask for gambling again to make up for it. She is tired. In fact, she paid more than the interest of her mother's debt. She accelerated the packing and when she finished, she quickly opened the window of her room. She came out of the roof and carefully went down. It was not high so she could easily leave. She quickly ran away and when she made sure, she was far away from the place she came from and she laughed like crazy.
"Finally! I'm free!" she exclaimed.
She took a deep breath to inhale and enjoy her freedom. Her Aunt would surely be surprised if she did not see her in the room. That would definitely be a problem for her Aunt because it no longer can ask a money from her to gamble. Her fat husband is a drunkard and helper in a warehouse of a large company. Their daughter did not know what work to do because she was there as they expected. But now, she has nothing to serve them and they will take care of their lives. Feeling that she is Cinderella. That's all, she is run-away type. She was lucky and a bus passed by. She immediately rode there and took care of where she was going. When the bus stopped at the terminal, she got off and wandered around. It's really up to her now. A deep sigh escaped her. She has a problem where she can stay. It's still late in the afternoon. She saw a trail and she followed it. She hasn't gone far yet then... BAG!
Gabrielle fell down when suddenly something hit her. She rubbed her nose.
"Miss, sorry!"
"What?!" her language is stable.
She looked up and saw a tall man looking at her. It was a bit sweaty and it was holding a phone in its right hand. His black raven hair is ponytailed. It has tanned skin and has a light-brown pair of eyes. She stood up and she saw his forehead furrowed looking at her.
"What are you looking at? Why don't you apologize ?!" her sarcastic language.
The man raised an eyebrow at her and frowned at her. Just now, Chase saw the woman he bumped into here on his farm. He passed in the back because he was hiding Sky, he did not go straight home to his house because it would definitely stop him there. He intends to redeem his phone here to be taught a lesson in his foolishness. He stared at the woman again. Her hair was brown, her eyes were round and its iris is very green. It is not that tall, he estimates it is only 5'3 in height. The limbs are only moderate.
"Are you new here, Miss?" he suddenly asked.
"N-New, what's new?" Gabrielle asked the man.
"Are you a new worker here on the farm? I just saw you ah. You just arrived?"
Gabrielle looked at the traveling bag she was holding and at her backpack. She simply shook her head.
"I'm not a worker here. I just passed by and I'm looking for..."
"Wait! You just passed by? You mean, did you pass on my land?!"
Gabrielle's words seemed to resonate with the man. 'My land'.
"It's not about the bed pass. It's just hanging out. Excuse me, I'm going to spend the night on the road."
She was about to walk away but the man quickly blocked her in front of her.
"And do you think you can just go through it like that? You came into my private land without letting me know."
Gabrielle took a deep breath and glared at the man.
"Sorry, I don't know because there is no fence and there is no sign that it is forbidden to go through here. So just excuse me..."
She turned right but the man followed her.
"You can't pass. Pay the entrance fee first."
"What did you say?!"
"You pay an entrance fee. You come here to my place without permission. So you have to pay me if you want to pass."
"I will not pay!"
Chase raised an eyebrow. Hard headed. He wanted to teach this trespasser a lesson but was stubborn. He looked at the trail it traversed. It looks like the broken fence there has not been repaired yet. He will also do that tomorrow so that no one will make a mistake entering his place. Especially and dangerous because sometimes here, his friends and him they practice in shooting. Even so, he had to do this thing so that nothing would happen again.
"You will not pay, you will not pass!"
Annoyed Gabrielle looked at the man's face.
"Arrogant, arrogant, you look like money!"
Annoyed she grabbed money from her pocket.
"Here are five pesos, find someone you can fool, not me!"
She threw it at the man's feet. Chase looked at the five-peso she had thrown at his feet. His eyebrows met and he looked annoyed at it. Is this the one who made the mistake, is this the one who will get angry?
"Your courage to beat me ah?! I will imprison you for trespassing!"
Gabrielle clenched her fist. Alas, he is still handsome. She tried to get through but it was good to watch... She repeated to escape his defense several times but did not really want to let her in. She looked at the man's face in disgust and she saw an annoying frugal smile on his lips. An idea she suddenly thought of...
"What, have you given up?" Chase asked.
He was suddenly comforted by the strange woman stranded in his land. If he had been annoyed before, his mood suddenly changed. As it looks at him deadly it seems to make her look better, he laughs at the thought. Gabrielle took a few deep breaths to encourage herself before she carried out her plan. This man must ready for her... In a few moments, she will be full of courage. She bravely looked at its face and...
"I will not pay!"
After that Gabrielle quickly approached the man, she stretched quickly and kissed his lips. He backed away and was completely surprised by what she did. She took the opportunity, she acted quickly and ran away. She got through it.
"There you are, baby!"
It was too late for Chase to blink and be conscious. He looked behind the woman and rubbed his lips. He suddenly smiled and shook his head. He smirked suddenly and his smile turned to a weak laugh. Okay, that stolen kiss is enough...
Gabrielle suddenly stopped running when she felt an ant bite on her neck. This was followed by a sudden darkening of her vision. Chase approached the woman in a panic when he saw it suddenly fall. He attended it and stared. It has hit by a tranquilizer. He carefully removed the needle from its neck.
"Woh, I missed! I should have hit you eh..."
He looked at the speaker and he saw Sky's smiling face.
"Did you miss it or did you mean it?"
"I didn't mean to. Did the beautiful young lady get hurt?"
Sky approached them. He looked at the woman, he simply caressed the girl's cheek... Chase violently shook his hand. He did not know but he did not like what Sky did.
"Looks like I need to take care of her. I'm sorry, Miss... You got involved in our fight." suddenly its language.
Sky looked at him.
"You can't take her." he suddenly spoke.
