Chapter 118 - Realizing his feelings

Clara looked lost and just kept staring at the beautiful men she has insulted numerous times, standing right outside there, vulnerable to anything.

What if these people aren't just after money and want his life?

Is this how he would foolishly come, just because they told him that she's kidnapped? What was he thinking?

Could it be that he really likes me like those people said. They said my lover. Could they have heard something? 

Leo loves me?

While Clara was battling her thought and looking at Leo, who was reaching inside his pocket to bring out his phone, her abductors were still over the moon.

"I told you that we should ask for more money Dean. It seems like he would do anything for his lover," one of them said to the leader, dropping formalities like they were friends.

This also shows that they just pick one person to pose as leader to make it look more convincing. They were probably just beginning to chase these lines. They are still experienced.

Clara glared at the one who said that they should have asked for more money.

"We shouldn't be too greedy. If we ask for too much, he might involve the police." the supposed leader said, the authority in his voice was gone now.

"Ouch!" one of them shouted as Clara hit him from behind.

When he turned around, he met with Clara's cloudy white eyes, "kneel." Clara said and the guy went on his knees immediately.

"What are you doing?" the others were shocked and one of them rushed towards her.

The first one that tried to grab her, got a kick delivered to his tummy, which made him cry out loud in pain, stunning the other three.

Getting hold of his neck, and making him look into her eyes, "kneel." Clara said again, making it two guys falling on their knees.

She looked up at the other three, who were now weary of her. They reached out their hands in front of them to make her stay back.

They were just normal guys in need of money. If they charge at her and manage to hurt her, Leo will kill them.

"You've been cooperating since the start, miss. We only want the money." The one who poses as the leader said, while another one spoke up, "what's with her eyes?" he asked, making the others concentrate on Clara's white eyes.

"Kneel." Clara said and just like that, the three of them obeyed, looking like a dummy.

Unfortunately for them, she didn't need to get too close, she only needed to make her victim pay attention to her eyes.

"I am the only one that gets to rob him off his money." she said and commanded them to forget the name Raymond Leonard, same as her face.

"Have a short nap guys." she said and their body hit the floor.

"Good boys, the food was awesome by the way," Clara said, before taking her mind off them and made her eyes regain its emerald hue.

During the scrimmage, she noticed a phone ringing continuously. 

She didn't know why her mind got unsettled as she picked up the phone and saw Leo's number displaying as the caller.

She began walking outside the room, while she stared at the phone that kept ringing nonstop.

She was about to step out, where Leo could see her, but she didn't know why she felt the urge to pick the call and hear what he had to say.

And that's what she did.

Leo who has been calling since he arrived has begun to panic, immediately the call got connected, he felt his heart beat increases.

"Hello? I have the money here with me, just please don't touch her. I didn't involve the police as well, I just want her and everything will be fine." He said.

Clara heard Leo's shaky voice through the phone and felt her heart beat fast as she listened to it.

The word lover kept ringing in her mind again and again. This voice she's listening to, is unlike that of the Leo she knew.

"Could he have fallen in love with me? is that why he is behaving weirdly lately?" she asks herself as she walks out of the door, toward Leo who has stopped talking as he saw her appear with a phone pressed to her ear. 

It was  at this moment that Leo realises that he never thought about the fact that Clara is a supernatural being. His only thought was that the woman he loves has been kidnapped.

Seeing her approach nearer, he forgets all rationality just by looking at her. The tension of the whole thing hasn't dissipated.

With quick steps, he met her halfway and pulled her into his arms. He hugged her so tightly like his whole world depends on it.

Clara's heart rate increased as she was being hugged so tightly. She couldn't even get angry and push him like she was supposed to.

She could deny and insinuate a lot of things when Leo was trying hard to confess to her, but right now the rate at which Leo's heart was pounding into her ear that was pressed to it couldn't be mistaken.

Her mind drifted to when Leo looked like he wanted to tell her something important at the training base then. She couldn't believe Leo was trying to confess then.

But what's the big deal about it? Tim confessed his feelings and she didn't felt like this.

What if she likes her, she hated him and was supposed to pull back and talk him off it, like she did to Tim, but she tried to pretend like she hadn't just realized his feelings and actually like the touches of his body to hers right now.

The way his heart was racing and his hand tightly wrapped around her, it made her feel like she meant something. Like she's a very important person to this man, aside from just needing her voice.

"Leo." She called his name and began pulling away from him slowly and looked him in the eye.
