UNDER THE RAIN OF LOVE : CHAPTER 1 – 10
By Melody.
Chapter 8.
8: 30 am
It was a bright sunny morning on a Thursday. Sean halted the car to a stop the moment they arrived at the traffic light.
The road was really busy and cars were finding every way to move in and out.
Xan was leaning both his long arms on the handrest wearing a bored expression.
He was wearing a blinding black suit. His jet black hair was smoothly brushed way back on his head.
His appearance was very expensive, you could almost pay just to have a glance at him.
Xan brought up his arm and checked the time on the silvery wristwatch.
“Sean. Do you have any idea where Vixen went off to last night?” He asked, raising up his chin.
Sean eyes swelled immediately. His hands went tight on the car driving wheels.
“N..not at all, sir” Sean feverishly replied, feeling very uneasy.
All through last night, he was finding it very difficult to report the incident to xan.
He remembered the look on Xan’s face last night, he was almost like a drenched king of demons.
Xan was his boss. He had studied his character ever since he knew him.
He knew Xan would never take the incident very lightly with him. Perhaps, Xan would slaughter him dead after he politely revealed what he did.
He had been very terrified even to stand and stare at his face. He decided to hold on to the news for a while until Xan was in a better mood.
As soon as the traffic light sparked green, Sean began to drive again.
Xan peeked out the window and squinted his eyes as a thought crossed his mind.
“Quickly…Take the direction to Amy’s home” He said instantly.
Sean heart melted the moment he heard him. He didn’t know for how long he would dine in this fear.
“But, We might be stuck in a huge traffic if we take that direction” Sean said, just to dodge outta trouble.
“I’m less concerned. I want us to pick her up as we move to work as well.” Xan said.
Sean exhaled, turning the wheels to take the other route.
Xan leaned back on the sofa and brought out his phone to go through his message line.
After a perfect momentum of silence, the car finally stopped at Amy’s ‘fairytale’ home and xan told sean to play the horn.
UNDER THE RAIN OF LOVE : CHAPTER 1 – 10
Two minutes later…
Xan was confused. He looked out the glass. Her windows were opened yet she was not giving any welcome signal.
“Why hasn’t she come out?. Could she still be asleep?” He asked, turning to look at Sean.
“I think we should go check her in.” Sean chipped in, acting all innocent.
Xan quickly opened up the door. He got out and pushed back the door with his tall legs.
He scoffed, seeing that passers-by had all stopped to stare at him.
He flipped his hands into his side pocket and manly crossed the road before moving towards her balcony.
Sean fearfully followed him behind. He knew this was it…the war was slowly bubbling up…slowly erupting like a volcano.
Soon, when it burst, he would be doomed for life. Everything he had been imagining all through the night was taking place at their respective orders.
Xan got to her doorstep and without knocking, he pulled the door open. He stared at the door knob looking very suprised that it was not locked afterall.
He was aware that she was probably inside, hiding somewhere. He adjusted his tie..
“Amy…?” His voice pronounced.
He stepped into her livingroom, his shoes kept knocking on the marbled floor.
It was very calm and quiet inside. The blanket of last night was still there.
The livingroom was how he had left it last night. He stared at the blanket again…he could remember the little memory he made there with Amy.
Suddenly, the curtains began to move and a small white creature escaped out of it.
Xan sighted that it was dog, Amy’s dog. He moved back, flinching with fear. Pink barked running closer.
He looked at sean not knowing if to attack the dog or just run for his dear life.
Surprisingly, pink wasn’t running towards his space. It ran towards sean and growled angrily while barking loudly.
Xan stared at the little dog in amusement. How come it didn’t attack him but sean.
He assumed it was somehow passing an unknown message about Amy which he clearly didn’t understand.
Sean bent to pick the little pink.
“I know you are allergic to dogs. I’ll quickly put her away” Sean said, locking it up in its kennel.
Xan looked away, finding his way around her little but spacious house. He left the livingroom scene and ran around Amy’s room, calling her name.
He didn’t get a single reply. His face came into a big frown.
He returned back to the livingroom, feeling utterly confused.
“Something is strange about today. Amy is not in her home yet it’s open. Where could she have gone?” Xan asked, walking towards sean.
Sean sighed, lowering his face.
“I think Amy is actually missing” Xan muttered, taking in sips of breath.
Sean looked up, taking a step forward.
“Boss. I think we should probably go check the office first to see if she’s there before we begin to confirm that she’s missing” Sean said, still acting unaware of the whole situation.
Xan lowered his face, pinching the brows inbetween in his eyes.
He could already sense the face of danger approaching very slowly.

???????????
At Xan Company..’
The elevator opened speedily. Xan walked out, strolling fast towards Amy’s office.
He didn’t stop to answer greetings from his workers. His face was overriden with so much anger.
His eyes and ears were boiling, filling everywhere with it smoke.
He just hoped that amy was in her office…or if not…this whole company was going down.
He arrived at Amy’s office and inhaled deeply, as if preparing his mind for an aftermath, before he slowly pulled in the door.
He stared around her office and was completely shocked and very disappointed.
Good!. She wasn’t here too!!. He felt like he should fall into a h.ot pool of water and scream loudly.
Where could she have possibly wander off to?. This was a big town…he couldn’t possibly look for her in a day!.
He was so dmn worried. He even forgot to breath for a while.
He was walking aimlessly around the room, struggling with his hair like he would pull it out soon.
He slammed his palm on the table and grinned happily. He was now a man!ac!
He could remembered last night. Yes…when Vixen told him he wouldn’t meet Amy in work the following day.
Could it be that?…He shook his head!.
“N..no…no..” Xan nodded his head and kept a good mindset. He stopped his smile from forming and suddenly frowned.
What if Vixen had kidnapped her?.
He picked his phone and decided to call Vixen but instead, his phone suddenly rang out.
Coincidentally, it was a call from Vixen. He angrily picked the answering button but phone and stretched it to his ears.
“I’m sure you’d been expecting this call, Xan. And Yes…I’m with amy.” Vixen started, without a greeting.
“Vixen. You better don’t do anything to hurt Amy!. I’m very serious about this!. Dmn serious!. I could kll you!” He yelled.
The workers outside the room could definitely hear his harsh, course voice.
“Don’t worry. Amy is very safe here. Infact, she has slept on my arm. She’s such a cute little thing” vixen laughed.
Xan gritted his teeth. The thought of the little girl sleeping on his arm was driving him n.ut.
“I need to see her and speak with her!. Bring her to the office immediately!” Xan yelled.
“I don’t think Amy wants to see you or talk to you. But I’ll give you a chance, at least to have your final speech with her.”
“Vixen. I just want her here immediately. The rest of what you are saying is mere trash!” Xan yelled, but Vixen enjoyed talking more quiet since he was on the good sides.
“I won’t be there at the office, Xan. Meet me at the broadway bridge. We will gladly wait for you there” Vixen said.
Xan scoffed. He cut the call with anger staring at the number with detest.
He matched around the room with his feet almost feeling like fire was growing underneath them.
Suddenly, the door pushed open and quincy walked in.
“Good morning boss!” She adjusted her glasses. She was internally shivering with fear just at the sight of Xan’s face
Undoubtedly, He was looking like a loosed h’ll king who would run berserk soon!.
” Y..you have S..six appointments today and…”
“Cancel them all!” Xan muttered, picking his car keys.
Quincy removed her glasses staring at the boss man with a dumbstruck face.
“Cancel them all?. Including the high contract?” She asked, making a square face.
“You heard me right. All!” Xan muttered and slammed the door with a powerful and ear deafening thud.
UNDER THE RAIN OF LOVE : CHAPTER 1 – 10
…..
At Broadway bridge.
Xan quickly parked his car at the side of the road and quickly walked out with haste.
He wanted to meet this Vixen guy and end everything, there and here.
He met another car waiting at the front lane and all he had to do was to walk over.
Vixen was the first to come after sighting him from the rare glass mirror.
He grinned after seeing fire and ice boiling and coming along with him like body shield.
He opened the door for Amy who came out as well still in her nightdress, and a neck scarf.
Her eyes had gotten really red and swollen like as if she had been weeping throughout the car ride.
As soon as xan saw her, he got boiled up with more anger and wanted burst. He couldn’t imagine what Vixen had done to her to have made her weep like this.
“Amy. Are you okay?. W…who did this?” He asked, stepping forward to hold her.
“You!!. It you who did it, bstard!!” Amy yelled, tightening her fist with anger.
Xan was confused the more.
“Amy i..i…”
“Don’t dare touch me with those bI.oody hands, you are such a d’vil. I…i can’t just think and believe you anymore!. You are such a snake!.”
“Amy. I need explanation for all this trash you are saying…”
Her lips pouted.
“I don’t need to explain anything. You know what you did, yourself. You did it, nice try but I know Vixen was there to protect me!. I’m sure by now, I’d been a goner!”
“Vixen!. What did you tell her?” Xan looked up at the dude, who was patiently leaning on his car.
“Don’t call Vixen into this matter!. I hate you and I hate you…that’s all you should know!” She yelled.
She sluggishly brought out his personal card from her pocket and stumped it on his chest.
“Have it!. Thanks for offering me a good job. I really can’t appreciate you much. Yes..I had so much fun. But I quit!. I can’t work for a m©nster who wants my own bI.ood!”
Xan collected his personal card, not removing his stupefied gaze from her.
He was lost. Completely out of this world….Infact he was just internally dead.
Amy sniffed, lowering her face as she talked more like a whisper.
“Vixen promised to balance up my debt. I guess that was what a good helper should have done!. Xan…” she sniffed, walking closer.
“I just wanted to say that I loved you. I cared for you. I brought you to my own home. I trusted you like my own good friend. Yet…i…i…don’t just…understand your instict towards me. You’re. ..a Coward!!” She yelled, biting her lower lip with pain.
Vixen finally came forward and hugged her tightly, rubbing her back and hair.
“It’s okay..it’s okay. I’m sure by now he knows you are very upset with him. He has understood how to learn his lesson after this.” Vixen said, staring up at Xan’s face.
He wished he could laugh right then because of the expression on Xan’s face. He placed up Amy’s head and kssed her forehead gently.
Amy lowered her face, fidgeting her fingers.
“Now, go back in the car and wait for me. Let me have a brief talk with this coward!” he said.
Amy turned aroud to stare at xan for a while before she slowly paced away.
Vixen waited for the sound of the car door thud before he turned to the utterly speechless man.
He grinned happily.
“This is the third girl in a row. First, Stacey. Then, BB. Now, Amy. “He said, counting his fingers happily like a child stating what he needs.
He grinned, his eyes turning dark at Xan.
“Who’s next? I’m still going to make your life more miserable than mine, Xan. This game of war is only getting started.” He said and laughed like a d’vil.
He stopped just to stare at him again.
“Anyways, you can quickly search for another girlfriend. I don’t have the mindset to leave Amy for the time being” He said.
He patted his shoulder gently and walked away leaving Xan totally dead in physical and in spirit.

Amy’s home…
Amy plonked herself on her sofa as Vixen trotted behind with a plate of cereals.
Vixen placed it on the table and stared at her scowling face.
“I’m not hungry” she mumbled.
“Why? You look so pale. Come on, eat something” He nagged
Amy folded her arms, looking away. She crumpled her lip as tears began to flow outta her eyes.
“Amy. Don’t tell me your tears aren’t finished.” Vixen sighed, dropping his shoulder.
She quickly rubbed her eyes, crying again.
“I feel so bad!!” She wept. “I feel so guilty to have spoken to Xan that way!” She said.
Vixen crawled forward, wrapping his arms around her.
“Look Amy. All that’s gone. Xan is gone. It’s high time you live your life back to how it was. Okay?”
“But how?. It’s only been an hour but the incident keeps replaying in my head.” She wept.
“That because you don’t wanna forget about it. You seriously need to work on your brain. okay fine, should we go out and probably do something that will shove the thought away?”
“I don’t think so. I can’t carry my pale face around. I’d rather sit here and eat.” She said picking the bowl of cereals.
She scowled her face again, placing one spoon in her mouth
Vixen folded his hands as he watched her eat with so much difficulty.
“Amy..”
“I’m…I’m sorry. I can’t eat like this. I have to go upstairs!” She said dropping the plate and running away to her room.
Pink barked, following her as well. Vixen looked out in space wondering what kinda girl she was.
He sighed, throwing his back to the sofa.
“Xan hasn’t seen the last of me yet” he scoffed.
