This was the third time since he came back to Forden that he was going his confess his love to Lucinda.
After all, he came back for her.
The last two times were unsuccessful because it was either too hasty or someone interrupted him.
He couldnât make the same mistake this time.
It was going to be a success.
Suddenly, a man dressed in a suit came to the floor and greeted him.
âNice to meet you, Mr.
Hernandez.
Iâm Miss Simmonsâ bodyguard.
â
âBut Iâve never seen you before.
â
Larry smiled respectfully and said, âIâm Leon.
Miss Simmons had sent me on an errand last time you visited her villa.
Those who drove you back were Conor and Jose.
â
âI see,â Brinleigh said with a nod, not finding anything suspicious.
Larry really looked kind and handsome.
He couldnât be lying, right?
Brinleigh knew that Lucinda liked good-looking people, and her bodyguards were all very handsome.
Larry nodded respectfully to him and said, âMr.
Hernandez, Miss Simmons has prepared a birthday gift for you.
Sheâs waiting for you on the rooftop.
â
Brinleigh didnât expect that.
Naturally, he was excited.
âReally? Letâs go then,â he said and followed Larry, his two bodyguards following behind him.
However, Larry stopped them and said to Brinleigh, âMiss Simmons is waiting to see you alone on the rooftop.
Will you really risk spoiling the surprise by bringing your two bodyguards?â
Brinleigh pursed his lips in thought for a while about it.
Their presence would surely ruin his romantic moment with Lucinda.
So he said to them, âYou can wait here.
Iâm just going to the rooftop.
Iâm sure Iâll be fine.
â
âYes, sir,â they answered in unison.
The elevator of Doug Hotel didnât reach the rooftop.
They had to go through a safe passage to get to the top floor.
When they got there, Larry helped him open the door of the rooftop and gestured him in.
Brinleigh was already smiling in anticipation of what he would find.
But then, his smile died when he stood there.
The rooftop was empty.
That was when he realized that something was wrong.
âWhatâs going on here? Whereâs Lucinda? You lied to me!â he hissed in anger and turned to leave, but another man dressed like an employee of the hotel came from behind and covered his mouth with a white cloth.
Brinleigh struggled against the man for a while and finally fainted.
