“And after the dinner, we have something to talk,” he added, 

I turned my face to him, “About?” I said as I’ll cry now, is any bad news coming? I questioned myself

“Relax, it’ll be a normal conversation like we had before,” his husky voice calmed down my sudden anxiety. “Smile?” he raised his eyebrow and I smiled wholeheartedly, he pulled my cheek. 

----------------------------------

Half an hour ago, we landed at London's airport and were welcomed by chilly winds, Nathan had already covered me with warm sweaters along with a cosy black long coat. The aura was hitting me differently like I’m free now. I didn’t think that my life after that incident would be changed for good. I stretched my arms before hopping into the car. Nathan or Nicolas drove to the place he called his main house which looked more like a palace, he told me that his parents live here and he often visits them. 

He pushed the brake, throwing his car into the parking lot. And like a gentleman, he came all over to open the door for me, didn’t let ‘his’ guards do that. Whoah, he’s an authentic man himself. I got out and he slammed the door behind me, we were standing close to each other. “Welcome to London, this is your home now,” he whispered in my ear with an enthusiasm and I passed him a cheerful beam. I shouldn’t forget that my home is in Houston and my parents would be praying for me to come back. I will discuss this with Nathan after dinner so send me back to them as early as possible. 

His hand pushed me to walk along with him. The castle was pretty far from the parking lot so as we continued passing through the beautiful garden which was bigger than multiplying my house by 10, I was completely lost in admiration. As far as I could see it was only fresh greenery. I was too busy feeling them that I didn’t mind looking at the one standing in front of me, 

“An… Lana?” 

I reshifted my focus on the person who called out my name. For a second, I stood still then my mind processed her and found out that she’s the girl who was kidnapped with me in that Hotel, Melissa! “My God, Melissa!” I hugged her and she tightened her grip around my ribs, “Oh Lana, I’m so happy that you’re okay,” she hoped, “No, I’m not, Mel. Be careful I recently lost my baby and have stitched down here,” I enlightened her. She pulled off.

“Oh my God, Nathan. You didn’t tell me you guys were expecting and… and had a miscarriage,” she said complained in concern while I gave Nathan a dubious look who was standing all tall beside me, I noticed a little tautness between them as he was eye-arguing with Melissa, “Uh, then… whose… kid… it was,” she faltered with longings

“It was not his child. I was raped,” I cleared her head, “I’m so sorry to know, but don’t worry, you won’t feel dejected here, it’s a desire to be with them,” she stated and sauntered to the main entrance, I somehow couldn’t decode her state of tomfoolery, doesn’t she want to go back to her family?

We went inside to the enormous castle and calling it a castle of crystal wasn’t accommodating its beauty. It was huge to observe in one look, Nathan or Nicolas -whoever he is, walked ahead but turned around when he couldn’t feel me following him, “You’ve plenty of time to wander around but now, there are my parents waiting for you,” he said while I was gaping, without a second later, I started following his tracks which led to a giant living room, 

A British accent of an elegant lady echoed around the room, “Nathan! My darling, you’re home!” she exclaimed in pure happiness, her accent was remarkably charming

“Oh, Mother! I missed you,” he gave her mother an adorable hug, just a perfect son would. His mother’s giggles were telling how much she values him, telling the mass of love for her son. I was pleased to see them like this but then a scenario played in my mind of my son hugging me that way, there I blasted a TNT bomb on my rapture.

Before I again had a fit, I blurred that thought and concentrated more on them. His mother was whispering something to him which was not audible to me but my curious cat wanted to listen, “Yeah, she’s mum, careful she’s behind me,” I heard Nathan saying this to his mother in that same British accent. His comment gave me a clue that they were talking about me, my curious cat got more fuel, So, I stepped ahead.

“Hello,” I politely mumbled.

“Ah, Oh lovely, there she is! My beautiful!” the joy that his mother had in her voice lifted up my spirit. It helped me feel better about myself. “Hello!”

I grinned, “How are you?” I tried to ask her with her enthusiastic spirit. 

“Better after you, young lady,” The way Nathan had a winning grin on his face assured me that he absolutely loved his mother’s reaction. 

We introduced ourselves to each other, she asked me about my childhood and family which I enjoyed a lot. Thank God, she didn’t ask anything like my recent past, I was too nervous for that but nothing happened wrong. 

After the talking session, we had a wonderful dinner together and there I met Nathan’s father. He was an amazing man with Nathan's eyes and smile. I really liked him at first glance because the way he treated his wife during the family time was admirable. I was so impressed by his family. 

It was a pleasant time with them. Melissa was on my left while Nathan on my right. I learnt a new fact about him, he normally talks in cockney accent with his family and I can’t explain how manly and sexy he looked speaking in that velvet dialect.

His mother mentioned to me about their daughter who went to her 'mate’s' house for a girl's night over, how cool! They allow them to go. I always wanted to have a night over with friends but never had a chance to as I had no good friends. 

We ate dinner along with our chit-chats. We finished and Nathan excused us from the table.
