Chapter 17 – Her driving lessons begin.

    Lillian opened her eyes slowly, and it met with a familiar ceiling. She took her hand to her face and managed to sit up, groaning in the process. She looked around and confirmed she was back in her room.


    “How did I get back here?” She muttered slightly, rubbing her head.


    She remembered she had almost fallen off the cliff with the car. She looked around her body to check for any form of injury or bandage wrapped around her, but there was none.


    “How did it happen?” She thought within herself. Be entered with a tray in her hands and came towards the bed.


    “You’re awake.” She announced, walking towards the bed.


    “How did I get back here? Did anything happen to me?” Lillian asked the questions in her mind with a puzzled look.


    “As you can see, nothing happened to you.” Be shrugged as she dropped the tray on the bed in front of Lillian and sat down.


    “But, I had almost fallen off the cliff with the car, so howe I didn’t get any injury at all?” Lillian asked, still perplexed at the whole thing.


    “Were you wishing to be badly injured?” Be stared weirdly at her.


    “No. It just looks so unreal that I’m even stronger after what happened.” Lillian defended, trying to see if she could recall anything back in the car after she screamed.


    “Okay. You’re right, you had almost fallen off a cliff, but someone saved you before you could fall.” Be answered softly.


    “Really? Who is the person? I seriously need to thank him/her. I can’t imagine what would have happened to me if I had fallen off that cliff.” Lillian rushed her words with her hands ced on her chest.


    “You would thank the personter, but now, you have to eat.” Be said, uncovering the te of French toast.


    Lillian stared at it for a while before picking one piece, as she took a few bites before sipping the tea. She finished the piece in her hand and took another piece, munching in delight.


    “Where were you off to, by the way?” Be said, as she focused more on her.


    “Huh?” Lillian paused for a second.


    “Before the incident happened, where were you off to?” Be repeated and Lillian finished munching on the piece in her hand, then sipped her tea.


    “I was going to the Spa, and a guard I had seen outside asked to drive me there.” Lillian replied, with her mind drifting back to how it all started.


    “So, what happened after that?” Be inquired further with her finger in between her teeth.


    “On our way, he took an unusual different turn and I asked about it, but he said it was the fastest and suddenly, he jumped out of the moving car, leaving me to my fate.” Lillian narrated with a shrug and took thest piece of toast.


    “Have you ever seen the guard since you came here?” Be asked, raising a brow at her.


    “I don’t think so. You know there are plenty of guards here.” Lillian replied as she threw thest bite of toast into her mouth before sipping all the tea content in the cup.


    “Thank you.” She muttered audibly as she kept the cup back in the tray.


    “Alright. Anyway, I have good news for you.” Be announced, making Lillian stare at her in curiosity.


    “You would be starting your driving lessons today, so what happened won’t repeat itself ever again.” She announced, and Lillian’s lips widened in a bright smile.


    “Are you serious?” She asked as her eyes widened.


    “Yes. So, get ready and meet me outside. I’ll be waiting.” Be said with a small smile as she took up the tray before leaving.


    “Yes!” Lillian said, throwing a fist pump in the air as she jumped out of the bed, going to the shower.


    Be went to the kitchen to drop the tray and went back upstairs, heading to her brother’s room. She went in, and he seemed like he was preparing to go out.


    “And where are you going so early in the morning?” Be asked as she rolled her eyes.


    “To the new warehouse. I need to be certain it is secured enough.” Don replied, fixing his button.


    Be stared at her brother through the mirror with her hands on her waist, and he noticed this but didn’t say a word.


    “How is she?” He said again after a while.


    “She is fine and awake now.” Be answered.


    “How the hell couldn’t she drive a car?” Don scoffed out and Be rolled her eyes.


    “Don’t act as if you don’t know how she’s been kept like a prisoner almost all her life. Of course, there was no way she would have known how to drive.” Be defended.


    “I hope you have started the search for the damn guard who almost had her killed?” Be said again with a small frown.


    “I asked Drake to do that.” Don replied quietly as he wore his shoes.


    “I want you to seriously deal with him when he’s found. He must not go scot-free for what he did.” Be said in rage.


    “I’m on that already.” Don replied, ncing at his little sister.


    “Anyways, I have to go now for her driving lessons.” Be said, turning to go.


    “Right, for the little princess herself.” Don said sarcastically, and Be red at him before walking out of the room.


    She went outside to start getting the car prepared. Lillian came downstairs shortly and walked up to her. She turned to look at her.


    “So quick?” She asked with raised eyebrows.


    “I’m just excited that I’m finally going to know how to drive.” Lillian replied with a wide smile, and Be smiled in return.


    “Is it just me, or do you actually look stunning this morning?” Bemented with a little smirk.


    “Yeah, yeah. Can we start already?” Lillian said, making Be chuckle.


    “Just a minute.” She said.


    Don came out of the house with Rex and Draco behind him. He just spared them a second nce before finally looking his way.


    Rex opened the back seat for Don and he entered. Rex and Draco both opened the front seats, with Rex entering the driver’s seat, and he drove out of thepound.


    “Why does your brother always look so cold?” Lillian asked, staring at the car as it drove out. Be paused for a second and nced at her.


    “Is he that way from birth?” Lillian said again, taking her gaze to Be.


    “No. Something made him.” Be replied with a frown, but she immediately reced it with a straight look and Lillian wondered what it was.


    “Oh!” She muttered, deciding not to ask further questions.


    “Come on now, let’s start.” Be said and hopped into the driver’s seat.

    *HOURS LATER*


    “Jeez, I’m so tired.” Lillian said dramatically as they entered the house, and Beughed.


    “I never knew learning how to drive was this stressful.” She said again, this time wiping off the little beads of sweats on her forehead.


    “It isn’t. You’re only stressed out because it is your first time. Trust me, you’ll be more cool with it after you’ve be used to it.” Be defended with a light smile.


    “I pray so.” Lillian breathed out.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    “It’s just the fact.” Be assured, still wearing the smile.


    “You know what, let me prepare something for us to eat.” Lillian said, changing her direction to the kitchen.


    “Why don’t you make one of the Spanish dishes as you promised?” Be suggested, and she halted, turning back to face her.


    “Okay, but I don’t think we have the items here, so???” Lillian questioned with a shrug.


    “You don’t have to worry about that. Just write out the list of things you’ll be needing, and the maids will go and get it while we take a shower.”  Be stated and she nodded.


    “Alright.”


    AN HOUR LATER*


    “Mmmm this tastes really good, just as it looks.” Be moaned out as she took in yet another spoonful of her food, munching in delight.


    “What is it called?” She said again, trying to savor every bit of the taste.


    “Patatas bravas.” Lillian blurted out.


    “Huh?” Be said as she paused.


    “The food is called patatas bravas and it is a Spanish dish.” Lillian exined with a chuckle.


    “Wow!” Be said as sheughed.


    “The name sounds funny, right?” Lillian asked with a small smile.


    “Kind of.” Be replied.


    “I would love to have more of the Spanish food, so I can always hear funny names.” She said, taking her attention back to her food.


    “Is it just the name you like about it?” Lillian said, staring at her in surprise.


    “Not actually, I also love the taste.” Be replied sincerely.


    “I know you would love it, especially when it ising from me.” Lillian boasted as she spread her hands in the air, and Beughed out at her attitude.


    ******************


    “The goods will be well secured here, boss.”


    Don looked around the ce for a while.


    “Are all the security devices fixed?” He asked, taking his gaze to the man in front of him.


    “We’ve already fixed some of them inside, and we would fix the rest of it outside before the goods arrive.” Greg replied in a nod.


    “But boss, when will it arrive?” Greg asked quietly, hoping he doesn’t annoy him.


    “Soon.” He stated simply.


    “Is that the only thing that needs to be done?” Don said again after a while as he put his hands in his pocket.


    “Yes boss. Other things have been done.” Greg replied and Don nodded.


    He walked away from the warehouse and went to his car. He entered and drove out of the environment, going back to his business house.
