Chapter 697 - Six Hundred And Ninety-Seven: Stay Away From That Girl (1/2)
The third point of view:
Anika and Akim headed down to the road without a word spoken between them. Now the safety bubble they lived in for the past hours was broken, it now dawned on Akim the severity of the situation he was in. His father would be goddamned mad.
But he was snapped out of his thought when someone took his hand and intertwined them together.
He looked at Anika who said, ”If you're that scared, I'll come to the palace and explain to your parents that I'm the one who kidnapped you,” She joked.
Akim offered a small smile, ”Don't worry, I'm his son and the only prince of Lincolnshire, he won't kill me,”
”Well, if you say so then,” she said.
The both of them stood by the roadside and waited for a taxi that would take them back home.
”Thank you for today,” Akim said out of nowhere while they waited, ”Today was the happiest I've ever known,”
Anika pursed her lips, ”You're welcome. Also.....” she took a step closer and then asked him, ”What are we now? As far as I know, friends don't kiss each other or plan to you know,” She wriggled her brows suggestively
Akim went red in the face and he turned his face the other way even when he said, ”Let's date then,”
”Sure, let's date,” Anika wrapped her arm around his, agreeing right away. There was no gain in playing hard to get, especially when she's on a mission in the first place.
”But please,” Akim added, ”No sexting,”
”Fine,” She agreed right away, leaning to his side and breathing in his scent. Anika sighed, ”I wish the taxi would arrive a little later so I could spend more time with you,”
Akim smiled at her comment, however, his attention was grabbed when a car at high speed suddenly stopped right in front of him and men in black suits stepped out immediately.
”Oh shit,” it was his security details.
However, before he could warn Anika, the girl was shoved away roughly that she fell while Akim was manhandled by the men.
”Anika!” Akim was more concerned for her safety.
”Don't worry, Akim, I'm good!” She informed him, getting to her feet, ”Just go with them, please,”
After confirming that she was okay, Akim willingly went ahead with his security, glancing one last look at Anika before the car drove away.
But as soon as the car left, Anika made a call to her mother Fiona, ”The mission was successful, there would be a friction in their relationship from tonight,”
”Good work,” Fiona told her before she suddenly asked her, ”By the way are you okay?”
”What do you mean?”
”Nothing,” Fiona said and unknown to Anika, she was staring down at an image of the both of them captured on the beach kissing.
