Genius Girl-Chapter 155 - 155: Midnight Visitor
Chapter 155 - 155: Midnight Visitor
Daniella's face darkened with what she heard, she immediately ended the call from Scarlet and looked to her right where she had a view of Selena's classroom.
Sitting on the branch of the tree, Daniella quietly seated with eyes staring at Selena like a hawk.
When Aaron's face flashed in her mind, a wicked smile curved her lips.
Soon, the bell rung, Daniella jumped down and walked with big steps towards the building.
Selena let out a loud sigh as she reached the last step of the stairs, she still has three subjects and she's completely drained.
Daniella stood in front of Selena, a calm expression on her face, "I have some important place to be, can you-" Selena didn't let her finish.
The girl lifted a hand in the air to stop her, and she nodded, "go but can you leave your motorcycle?"
Daniella took out the motorcycle key from her pocket and handed it to her, "be careful driving," she knew that Selena was only thirteen but still, she gave the key to her.
As she watched Daniella's figure disappear, Selena rushed upstairs.
"Maddie! Let's ditch the class and go for a ride!"
When her friend looked at the key in her hand, both of them yelled in excitement.

It was past midnight; Daniella still hasn't come home and Evan was starting to get worried.
Standing by the door with his arms crossed over his chest, Evan's face dimmed.
He took out his phone and checked the tracker he installed in the necklace he gave to Daniella. His eyebrows furrowed when he realized that she's at Aaron's address.
Shaking his head, Evan decided to go back in the bedroom, she's Daniella after all, she wouldn't come home late if it's not important – he thought, though his heart was pounding restlessly.

Meanwhile...
Aaron parked his car in the bas.e.m.e.nt of the building he was living, then he proceeded to the elevator and pressed the building floor of his apartment.
When he stopped in front of the door, his lips pursed. The door was destroyed, which means someone was inside.
He took out the gun he has in his bag and quietly entered his apartment.
The place was dark and cold, and there were sounds of the wind coming from the open balcony and flowing water from the kitchen.
Suddenly, the lights turned on and showed his apartment which was untouched and clean.
"Are you back?"
Aaron blinked to hear the voice of a woman. His breathing quickened as he watched a woman emerge from the kitchen with an apron over her shirt.
"Daisy," he gulped hard to see Daniella with gloves in her hands, he blinked repeatedly in disbelief.
Daniella removed her gloves and tossed it away. She has been waiting for him for hours that she got hungry.
"I hope you don't mind but I got hungry so I made myself a dinner," she winked at him happily, while her dimples were deep in her cheeks, "I think I made enough for both of us, why don't you join?" her smile faded, "I hate to eat alone."
Still stunned by her appearance, Aaron took a step back, he pointed the gun at her while his heart pounded uncontrollably.
Daniella rolled her eyes, "can we eat first? I don't want to die with an empty stomach!"
Arron shook his head, eyes went narrow, "you know," he said, seeing the beautiful smile on her lips somehow made him feel uncomfortable.
She gave a half shrug, "I really thought you were the boy in the cave," she walked closer to him fearlessly, not afraid that he would pull the trigger.
"You almost had me there but, then you made a mistake Mr. Wesley," as the time passed, the smile in her lips turned wicked, "want to know what is it?" she stood in front of him and felt the coldness of the metal on her forehead.
She watched as the Adams apple in his neck moved anxiously, she lifted her chin to meet his eyes.
"What?" he said without moving the gun away.
"You went to my friend Scarlet and asked for my number."
His eyes narrowed in confusion, "it doesn't make sense."
Daniella laughed, "it does dear you see," her hands went to his chest and patted it lightly, "you asked for Daniella's number and not Daisy's'."
Daniella's words forced Arron to take a step back. He was not careful, he didn't know or even realized that he called her Daniella earlier when he met her friend.
He was utterly speechless, his arms holding the gun became heavy that it dropped in his side.
Seeing his reaction, Daniella's wicked smile disappeared. She took the gun from his hand and quickly dissembled it.
"Can we eat please? I am famished," then she turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
With no words coming out from his mouth, Aaron followed her. His eyes widened when he saw the table.
He blinked repeatedly; the table was indeed full but not with food but with knives, three silent pistols, and chains, there were also syringes with liquid inside.
"What are these?" his voice broke down.
Like a girl who's being tickled, Daniella laugh, "I was kidding about the dinner, its midnight, no one eats dinner at midnight," her laugh disappeared, "you know what I like to do at midnight?"
Aaron was scared to ask, the smile in her face that almost reached her ears and the way her eyes shine, it was beautiful yet frightening.
"Come on, ask me!" Daniella picked up a straight knife, it was so shiny and sharp that it can cut anyone's skin without putting so much force.
She tapped the tip of the knife on the table when she didn't get his answer.
"COME ON!" this time she yelled together with her eyes swelling impatiently.
"What?" he replied in an almost whisper.
Daniella placed both hands on the table, opposite of her was Aaron with both hands in his side clenching anxiously.
A mischievous smile curved her lips in satisfaction, she leaned forward, her lips parted, "torture," she blinked and picked up a small but sharp knife, "I like best to torture people at midnight," and with rush, she looked up to him, her smile widened as she tossed the knife at him.
Aaron has anticipated it, he knew Daniella very much, so he avoided the knife swiftly.
He smiled; he finally didn't need to fake his life. He can now resign from his job as a journalist and focus on his real life - and that's being a spy.
His face turned to look at Daniella but a sudden pain on his left shoulder caused him to groan.
His face screwed, he didn't know that Daniella has thrown another knife at him, it was so fast, he was not expecting it.
He moved backwards until he hit the wall, then his body slid down.
