The Billionaire's Ghost Roommate; Identical Impersonator

Asher Ryder arrived at the airport, and his driver approached him.

"Welcome back, sir." Mr. Kaye, his driver said with a bright smile, and collected him luggage.

"Thank you, Mr. Kaye. Although I know you enjoy it more when I was away." He teased.

"Of course not, sir, I had really missed you, and besides my wife and I are currently having issues, so home is not so sweet to stay." Mr. Kaye said, and they both laughed.

Mr. Kaye opened the door for him and he entered the car, he has been in Florida for three months launching their new project there, but he made sure to finish up so he could return home to start preparations for his wedding, which is in a month.

.

"Sir, are you heading straight to the mansion?" Mr. Kaye asked, referring to his parents house.

"No, take me home first. I need to prepare somethings at home."

"Ok, sir."

*

They pulled off at his resident, and he get down from the car - after exchanging greetings with his few staffs, he head straight to his room to freshen up before working on the summary he is to submit to his father concerning the project success. He worked on that for hours and ran out of time, so he sent a message to his fiancee who is already at his parents mansion awaiting his arrival; he notified her that he might join them late, or perhaps visit tomorrow.

He worked till late in the evening and heard a knock on the door, he could tell its his maid coming to serve him coffee, because they all knew him well, he never take a break to drink at least coffee whenever he is working.

"Come in." He muttered, loud enough for whoever is by the door to hear.

"Sir, I brought you coffee, your favorite wine and deserts. You should have the coffee while it's warm." The maid said, and he smiled.

"Thank you, I will have the coffee." He said, and slipped from the mug of coffee.

"I will excuse myself now, sir." She said, and he nodded before she left.

Asher got clad on a causal wear and drove off, heading to his parents' mansion. He arrived at the mansion - exchanged greetings with the few staffs and was directed to the garden where his parents were.

"Asher, you are already up." His mother said with a smile, confusing him.

"Already up? I don't understand."

"Leave that, you haven't send the summary to me, I let it slide yesterday because of Olivia." His father said.

"I sent it to your mail this morning. But I don't understand what you meant by letting it slide last night. I couldn't come yesterday as agreed because I had to work on somethings, and I finished up late." He said, and his parents seem puzzled.

"What do you mean by you didn't come last night ?" His mother asked, obviously baffled.

"It was Axel." His father muttered with clenched fist, and it hint on him that his twin brother had probably impersonated him again last night. He made a fist, and his eyes widen when he realized that his fiancée was there.

"Olivia." He called, and ran off, heading inside. He ran to his room and slugs the door open to see his fiancee on bed with his twin brother who is fully awake.

"Hi, Twine." Axel said, with a smirk and Asher's jaw dropped.

"Olivia." He called, trying to control his emotions.

"She is still asleep, shhhh... you are going to wake her." Axel said, with an evil smirk plastered on his lips.

"You b@sted." Asher shouted, and bounced on his brother, they both engaged in a fight and Olivia woke up looking confused.

"Asher." She called, and they stopped exchanging punches. She covered her mouth with her palm as she realized what she had done; she failed to differentiate between her fiancé and his brother.

"I'm so disappointed in you." Asher said, and left.

"Babe, Asher, babe." Olivia shouted, running after him.

He passed by his parents who have identical sad expressions, he headed straight to the parking lot and Olivia failed to catch up with him before he drove off.

*

He parked along the road and hit his car steering in anger. He and his twin brother are very identical that their parents always failed to differentiate between them. But as they grew up, their behaviors shows their differences, they might be identical, but they have opposite personalities. His first girlfriend in high school failed to differentiate between them during prom night, and danced with Axel instead leading to their breakup, and his next girlfriend after that also went to kiss Axel at an event that they both attend together, clad in identical clothings. Axel always rubbed it off his face, that he can easily fo0l any lady he date. But it has been different with Olivia, they dated for two years, and she has never mistaken them for each other, until now. He felt betrayed, even if no one could differentiate between them, he expected the woman he plans to spend his rest of his life with to be at least different.

*

He got home and went to his room, sulking on his pillow, he hat£ the fact that he had a twin brother who does nothing but impersonate him in every given opportunity. He was lost in his thoughts, reminiscing all the time Axel had impersonated him when he heard a knock on the door, he didn't respond to the knock but the door open - and he could easily tell that it was Olivia. He might be generous with his workers, but there are boundaries to his generosity, they can never barge in without getting a respond.

"Babe, I'm sorry, please I'm so sorry." She cried.

He glared at her in furry, he could forgive anything, he might have forgiven her if he caught her with someone else, but his brother is different, because she thought it was him, and that's the worst sin that he could never forgive.

"Why were you with Axel ?" He asked, he hope she could give a different reason, that differ from the obvious, but he knows better.

"I'm sorry Asher, I was deceived, even your parents were."

"Olivia, you are right, my parents were deceived, they always were because Axel is good at manipulating people while impersonating me. I told you about my past relationships and all the obstacles I had faced because of him. But you promised to be different, the only promise i requested before we started this relationship; but you failed to keep it."

She sniffed in, tearing up. " I'm sorry Asher, I'm sorry. But believe me, nothing happened between us, nothing happened, believe me; I'm on."

Asher laughed. "Either anything happened or not, it doesn't change the fact that you failed to identify us. If you weren't on, something would have happened. And if we were married, same is bond to happen. You didn't cheat on me, but you failed your promise to me." He said, and uncontrollable tears flow freely from her face.

She has always managed to identify them even if they are on same outfits, and even at times when she fails; she always plays it smart, but now it's gone, she failed to identify him in the worst way ever.

*

Asher left the house since she refused to leave, he went to his best friend, Micheal Grey, to pour out his pains.

"Gosh, man. Now there is no wedding to plan." Michael said, in disappointment.

"Is that your concern now?" Asher asked, obviously angry. Micheal is always nonchalant, no matter the situation; at times he wondered how they became that close since elementary school.

"Man, the deed is already done. So we shouldn't sulk on that, but brooooo, we were planning a f¥cking wedding. A wedding, mannnn...". Micheal said and Asher sighed in disbelief.

"I don't know how to react to this, I'm fed up. We would've been married a year ago, but we had to adjourn it because of my busy schedule and now, see what happened, when our wedding is just a month away." He lamented.

"Man, are you crying ?" Micheal asked, when he noticed that Asher eyes swell in tears.

"I don't know what to do man, I really love Olivia." He cried, and Micheal patted him gently, unsure of what to do.

"You need a break, Asher, since you became the Vice Chairman, how many times have you went on a long break ?" Micheal asked, and Asher looked at him.

"I don't know, I doubt if I ever had a long break." He muttered, his voice barely above a whisper.

"That's the point man, now you need to take a break, take a break from all these drama, take a long break, and resume when you heal. That's the only remedy to solve your heartache." Micheal said, and Asher took the advice.

*

Asher left later when he got a message from his father, so he headed to the mansion to see him.

"Son, I don't know the right words to say. Axel was supposed to be in France." Mr. Ryder said.

"Dad, I believe you didn't call me here to reflect on that. I don't want to talk about it."

"I'm sorry, son, I hope you can forgive your mother and I for making the same mistake again."

"Can I leave now ?" Asher asked, already fed up.

"Olivia came to me, what will happen to your wedding now ?"

"I don't think I have to answer that, she failed to identify me and went to bed with my brother. What do you think my decision will be ?"

"Asher, but calling off the wedding is a great loss to us."

"Dad, what do you advise I do ? Marry the woman that failed to recognize me ?" Asher said, with wide eyes.

"Have you forgotten that you are messing with the Wilson's?"

Asher shake his head in disbelief. "I have worked so hard all my life growing the company, I barely had time for a break. But I love it, because I choose it, and now you want me to sacrifice myself to be with a woman that can't even recognize me."

"Asher, do you think it's easy to differentiate between you two? Did you know how hard your mother and I suffered to tell your difference? Axel is good at manipulating others, and his hubby is impersonating you. You can't blame anyone for that."

"That's the problem, Dad, I am yet to find someone who loves me genuinely, someone who can differentiate me from thousands of people no matter how identical we are, even my parents aren't that person, neither is Olivia."

"Do you think you will ever find that person ?"

"I wish."

"Asher, you can't call off your wedding like this."

"Dad, I want a break, a break from everything."

"A break ?"

"Yes, I want a break."

"Till when ?"

"Till my head settles." He said, and took the exit.

*

He went to his room, searching for nice places to go for his break, he decided to go for a change, so he looked up places in the countryside - there he saw a nice vacation house that has been on sale for over a year at a very cheap rate. He checked the view wondering why it's so cheap, without hesitating, he contacted the agent and purchased it.

"Amazing, this is the best thing I have spent my money on so far ." He thought happily.

*

He parked his luggage ready for his trip when he heard a knock on the door.

"Come in." He muttered and one of his maid came in.

"Sir, are you set ?" She asked.

"Yes, you can carry my luggage downstairs now."

"Sir, your luggage is so big, how long will you take this time?"

"I'm not sure yet, but I hope I won't stay too long."

"We're going to miss you, sir."

"You can all take a break as well, drop by to tidy up the house; you don't have to lounge around here all day." He said, and headed out.

He gets outside and saw Olivia alighted from her car, she has been flooding his cellphone with messages and calls which he ignored, so he wasn't surprised by her visit.

"Asher, please let's talk." She said, and she saw the maid dragging out his luggage. "Are you going on a business trip again ?"

"No, I'm taking a break, excuse me." He said and intends to leave but she held him back.

"When will you be back?"

"Don't wait for me." He muttered.

"Asher, our wedding is in a month."

"I thought, I made myself clear the last time."

"How do I explain this to my parents?" She said in tears.

"The same way I did with mine, should I do it on your behalf?"

"Asher, this isn't fair, let's talk when you are back." She said and entered her car.

He let out a sigh and his driver helped him put the luggage in the trunk, before opening the backseat for him.

*

*

He entered his new vacation house and felt chills, so he decide to get some rest. He went to the room to take a long nap and was already fast asleep when the light suddenly went off, he opened his eyes wondering what was wrong with the light. He has never experienced a blackout before so he was confused. He got up and on his phone flash to go see what's wrong - as he twist the doorknob, he started hearing strange footsteps, which took him aback.

"Mr. Navil, is that you ?" He asked, wondering if it was he house agent.

"Why will he barge it?" He thought and went out, then the light suddenly came on again - scaring him more, and he almost jumped.

"Who is there?" He asked, in fear, as he felt shivers down his spine.

"Who are you ?" He heard an echo, and the light suddenly went off again.

"Arrghhh...." He screamed in panic when he felt a hand touch him. He composed himself to be sure of the feelings; when the light went on, he turned to see a young beautiful lady. His eyes widen in fear, and his vision went blank.

.

Asher woke up the following morning feling pains all over his body, he touched his head and remembered the nightmare he had.

"Gosh, what kind of nightmare was that ?" He thought.

He heard the water from the bathroom running, he blinked rapidly wondering when he forgot to turn off the tap; then it hit on him that he didn't even take a shower before going to bed last night - as he look at himself, and realized he is still on the dress he wore after freshen up which is unlike him. He never felt comfortable going to bed without a shower.

He put all the thoughts aside and went to turn off the tap when then he heard the door click open.

"Who is there ?" He shouted, already angry, he went outside and saw no one. Which made him reflect back to nightmare he had. He remembered the light going on and off, and he passed out afterwards. He wondered what it's all about - but refuse to bother himself with it.

He looked at the doorknob to be sure if anything is wrong with the door, but the problem is not from the door, the problem is from the house.

He instantly felt shiver down his spine, at the thought that the house might be haunted, although he don't believe on those stuffs. In order to get his mind off it, he went to freshen up and decide to prepare breakfast. Cooking is a hubby he practiced since childhood. If he wasn't born into a conglomerate family, he would have loved to be a Chef.

He went to the market to get groceries, there he overheard people talking about the house he is staying.

"I heard a man moved in there."

"A man ? I wonder how long he will stay?"

"That house is haunted, but gullible people keeps falling victims to the agents, and running away after few days."

Asher got alarmed by their words, and it recalled to him that what happened yesterday wasn't a dream and even today, was another mysterious experience, so he went closer to them to get clearer information.

"Excuse me ma'am ,how do you know the house was haunted?" He asked, his curiously piqued.

"It is haunted by a virgin ghost. The first residence there all died in an accident, remaining their only daughter. She wandered alone in the house because everyone avoided her, blaming her for her family's misfortune. One day, she was found d£ad; her body rotten inside. No one knows when she d!ed and no one dared to touch the body until it dried off, and the pieces were thrown into the ocean. Since then, she haunted every new residence in that house; no one ever last two nights there. She scare them away to de@th, and she even almost k!lled the last resident that moved in there four months ago - the man tried to prove smart, but he managed to last two nights before he ran off." The woman said, concluding the story.

Asher's eyes wide in shock, as everything makes sense now,; the reason why the house was cheap, and everything that has happened so far, it all makes sense. He left the place without uttering a word, he even left the things he bought behind dumbfounded.

"Who is he?"

"He seems new in this area, I haven't seen him before."

"Gosh, could he be the new resident in that house?"

He heard the women say, as he stopped a taxi, with intention to move out.

**

Olivia tried to convince her parents about her wedding, bringing up an excuse that Asher went on a business trip, so the wedding would be postponed.

"That's very lame, he fixed the date to fit in his schedule, so why the sudden business trip?" Mr. Wilson shouted.

"Livy, you can be honest with us, what is the real cause of the sudden postponement, are you two having misunderstandings ?" Mrs. Wilson asked.

"No, there is no misunderstanding, the wedding was simply postponed because of his business trip, why won't you just understand and bear with us ?"

"Bear with you ? Do you think this wedding is only about the both of you? Do you know how far my invitation went? You are getting married, my only daughter is getting married for crying out loud."

"Dad, no one asked you to invite heaven and earth to the wedding, I might have asked once, but I take it back now. Right now, I just want to get married when Asher returns." Olivia cried, confusing her parents.

Mrs. Wilson held her husband's hand to warn him against further questioning, and they watch Olivia ran to her room.

"Do you think all is well ?" Mrs. Wilson asked, confused.

"Something doesn't seem right, I will call Mr. Ryder and discuss this with him. They can't just push us around as they please." Mr. Wilson said and dialed Mr. Ryder's number.

.

The Wilsons' are well known billionaires, who invest in various successful groups. They don't have a company of their own, but they have been famous in three generations as billionaire investors, they invest highly in successful companies, and they are one of the highest shareholders in Spectra Group, the group owned by the Ryders; having equal shares as the Ryders in the company. Besides that, they are known to have large amount of shares in other groups as well, no one knows how many companies the Wilsons' had shares, which earned them their respect among the conglomerate, even the Ryders' highly respected them.

**

**

Mr. Ryder pant hard, pacing tho and fro in the living room, making his wife curious.

"Honey, what's bothering you, you have been panting since you dropped your call." She said, obviously concerned.

"It's Mr. Wilson, it seems like Olivia lied to them that Asher went on a business trip, which warrant their wedding to be postponed. He wants to discuss that, he refused to agree to the postponement. He feels disrespected that we came to that conclusion without consulting him. How will I handle this?"

"Were you able to reach Asher ?"

"No, calling him sent me to voicemail."

"And Axel?"

"I summoned him, he will be here shortly."

"What are you going to do to him this time ?" She asked, worriedly.

"I don't know, I already disowned him and warned him never to return, but look at what he did - he returned to impersonate his brother and caused this mess. What else can I do with that boy? Should I lock him behind bars ?"

"Come on, honey, that's too much to joke with."

"I don't know what to do, we are at the brick of losing our investment with the Wilsons'. Do you know how hard I worked to get that investment?"

"Honey, please relax. Asher and Axel are both our sons, you might have disowned him ,but that didn't change the fact that our blood flows in his vein, so let's try to hear him out."

**

**

Asher alighted from the taxi, and the taxi driver gave him a second look before he drove off, and Asher could already tell what's on his mind. He went in with intention to carry his luggage and flew back home or abroad; wherever he could think of, far from here, the haunted house, and the virgin ghost.

He entered into the compound, and felt shiver down his spine as he suddenly got scared.

"Should I just leave the luggage and go home ?" He thought.

"Come on, be a man, you can't be scared over a lame story. The only reason why you are leaving is because this place didn't feel like home, you have nothing to fear."

He was trying to convince himself, when an insect hit his face and fly off - he jumped in fear and almost passed out .

" I should go get my bags, and get out of here." He said out loud.

He tiptoed in fear, his body shaken and different thoughts running on his head, he went in and the door closed even before he could close it - scaring him more.

"Arrgghh..." He screamed, and turned around in fear to see a beautiful young lady, he blinked his eyes rapidly to be sure of his sight, and yes, she was still there.

"Whoooooo...." He trembled, pointing his fingers at her, he didn't believe she was a ghost because she doesn't look scary; he thought she was an intruder - but he was still scared of her.

She looked at him and tried to trace his finger elsewhere, but it's accurate - he was pointing at her.

"You can see me ?" She asked, her face brighten.

"You can see me ?" Her words echo in his ears, and he was unable to control his bladder; as he peeped on his pant in fear.

.

Axel arrived at his parents mansion and went to his father's living room; there he met his parents obviously discussing something important, but they stopped when they saw him.

"You ba$tard." Mr. Ryder shouted, aiming at him, but Mrs. Ryder held him back.

"You sent for me." Axel said, feeling unconcerned.

"Is that what you have to say? Haven't I told you never to step foot in this house again ?" Mr. Ryder shouted.

"You did, but you summoned me. I don't know which to obey."

"Why did you impersonated your brother again? Do you want me to send you to jail before you learn ?"

"Dad, I didn't impersonate anyone. I came here, but you all failed to recognize me."

"Why did you came to begin with? I already disowned you, I warned you never to step foot here again."

"Is that the point Dad? You failed to differ between my twin brother and I, and you called yourself our parents when you can't even tell our differences. What was my crime, why did you disowned me a year ago? Because I impersonated Asher and approved a losing contract, tell me, who asked me to attend that meeting in the first place ? And when I came home the other day, did I claimed to be Asher ? No, but what did you all think? You thought I was Asher and I felt welcomed; I knew you would send me away if I revealed myself. So, please tell me where I went wrong ?"

Mr. Ryder calmed down a little. "And Olivia, is that why you fo0led her ?"

Axel laughed sarcastically, and shakes his head. "She claimed to love Asher, so why couldn't she even recognize him ? Was it my fault that she couldn't recognize the man she claimed to love ?"

"Axel, honey, this is beyond exchanging words, you approved a losing contract in the meeting you attended on your brother's stead which cost the company a great loss. We sold off part of our shares to settle it, and we ended up with equal shares as the Wilson's, and now, Asher is adamant to call off the wedding because of your mistake, and that will make us lose to the Wilson. The company stability will be threatened, and we might even lose our ownership rights. That's why your father is blaming you." Mrs. Ryder said, and the two men calmed down.

"How can we sort this ?" Axel asked.

"Asher is determined to call off the wedding, but hopefully he will change his mind when he is done whining; it's not like Olivia cheated on him" Mr. Ryder said.

"And if he doesn't, do you want me to marry Olivia instead?" Axel said, and his father glared at him.

"What on earth are you saying?" Mrs. Ryder shouted.

"I don't understand why you summoned me, and besides, I don't nderstand how I can take responsibility for this." Axel said, obviously confused.

"Yes, you will take responsibility by looking for Asher and explain the situation to him."

"Dad, we both know that can't work. First, where do you expect me to find him, and how will I even convince him when we are never in terms ?"

"That's left for you to figure out, you have two weeks to sort that out, unless I will sue you for impersonating your brother and causing the company a huge loss." Mr. Ryder threaten.

"Dad, this isn't fair, you asked me to impersonate him, you plead with me to attend the meeting in his stead."

"Since you have no prove, just do as I say. Go find your brother and sort out this mess." Mr. Ryder said, and took the exit.

"Mum, what's he even saying ? How do he expect me to do that ?"

"Axel, just try it first, I have a feeling that Asher will listen to you."

"Goodness, Mum."

**

**

Asher blinked rapidly, looking at the strange girl in front of him bemused, and he touched his pant in embarrassment - but the girl didn't seem to notice.

"What do you mean by I can see you, is it proper to barge into someone house uninvited?" He shouted, and the girl face brightened.

"Wow, it's you, you are the one I've been looking for." She said happily.

Asher gave her a weird look. "Why were you looking for me ?"

"Please can we sit down?"

He looked at his wet pant and sighed, wondering how she didn't notice - so he decide to act cool. "Well, normally I should have sent you out, but considering the way you asked politely, you can sit. "

She smiled in gratitude, he turned to have a seat, and saw her on the couch. His eyes widen in shock and he tried to calculate her pace; but he shoved the thought away.

"Do you care for some coffee?" He asked, and her face brighten happily, he managed to chuckle, wondering who gets all excited over a mug of coffee.

He hurried to his room, to wash up and change, wondering how she didn't notice what happened. He tried to compose himself before going to the kitchen to brew two mugs of coffee, and gave her one.

"Thank you." She said, and collected the mug, with eyes wide in bewilderment; as she look at her hands and back at him. He looked at her in amusement as he realized that she might be hungry, immediately he remembered that he left the groceries he bought behind.

"Thank you for the coffee." She said, and smiled brightly and he found himself admiring her beautiful face.

"Excuse me for a moment, I'd like to mop up that." He said, and pointed discreetly at the pee. She nodded feeling unconcerned, and he started to wonder maybe she really didn't notice.

He shoved the thoughts away and hurried to clean it up, sparing some fresher to subside the smell. He can't remember the last time he peeped on his pants. Unlike his brother, he matured earlier. The uncontrollable fear that made him pee was slightly amusing. He finished up, and tried to act natural as ever, before sitting on the couch across her.

"Alright, sooo... what's this about?" He asked.

"Thank you for the coffee." She politely said.

"You're welcome. So tell me what you want ?" He asked, with hands akimbo, as he realized that he is being too friendly.

"First, can you tell me your name ?" She asked, and he gave her a look.

"I think I'm being too friendly to an intruder, I even offered you coffee, and that must have made you feel too relaxed. What do you want, why did you barged in here ?"

"I live here." She said and he was taken aback.

"What? You live where ?"

"Here, I live here."

"What? How long have you been living here? Because the last time I checked, I bought this house yesterday and the agent didn't tell me it's a shared house."

"I lived here for almost three years now, the agent probably didn't know."

"What ? Why did you sneaked in and lived in someone else's property? You can be sued for this; but I will keep my mouth shut. As the new owner, I will let it slide. So just leave now and move somewhere else while I'm being nice."

She pouted her lips together and looked at him sadly.

"But I have nowhere to go." She muttered, playing with her fingers.

He let out a sigh, a part in him wants to let her stay; but the other part protest, she is an intruder and it's illegal to stay in someone else property.

"Listen, young lady, I can sue you now for what you are doing, you are intruding and as the new house owner, I order you to leave my property." He said, avoiding eye contact with her; because looking at her will make him feel pity for her, and he must avoid that.

"Ok, I will leave if I make you feel uncomfortable, but I might come back." She said, and he turned to look at her to understand why she said she will come back, but she was already gone.

"What? When did she leave? I didn't hear the door open." He said out loud, and went out to look for her, but she was already gone.

"How is that even possible?" He thought, and went back inside to see if she hid somewhere, since she claimed to have been staying in the house for about three years; then she must know the house well, but there was no trace of her.

"This is amazing." He exclaimed, with wide eyes.

*

He went to the room to freshen up, and tried to put his thoughts together, remembering why he hurried back, but everything is clear now, the intruder have been the one in the house the whole while.

"But how come I didn't sense any trace of someone the entire time ?" He thought.

e put all those thoughts behind and went back to the market to get groceries, ignoring other people opinion concerning his house.

He bought all the groceries he needs, and returned home. He turned his other phone on, and joined the live chat on his cooking class group, to learn a new delicacy.

He requested to be added to the livestream; he was added, and the Chef directed him as he prepared the meal.

"Yummy." He hailed after preparing it, and everyone on the livestream started hailing him.

He served the food in a plate and went to eat, enjoying his meal, still on the livestream when he sight a message on the livestream that caught his attention.

*where are you ?* He clicked on the profile and wasn't surprised to see it was his twin brother. He might run away from everyone, but his twin brother always has a way of finding him. He knows all his hubbies and what he does when he is on break. He guess that's part of their bond as twins, although they were never in terms.

He ignored the message, but many more bombast the livestream, leaving many of the viewers with questions, so he left the stream, and turned off the phone to enjoy his meal.

To his surprise, as the day goes by, he couldn't help but think of the intruder who had no where to stay, and started wondering if she has found a place; he shove his mind off, with thoughts that she isn't his responsibility and he has no reason to worry about her.

He stepped out later to receive fresh air, because somehow the air inside made him uncomfortable because he kept thinking of the intruder; as he stepped out, enjoying the view, he decide to take a short stroll , it's late in the evening, it's not a perfect time to go sightseeing but he still decide to take advantage of the fresh air.

He stepped out to the gate, and was startled to see the intruder there, the girl he couldn't stop worrying about.

"You, you startled me." He said, and she turned her pitiful face to him.

"I'm sorry." She muttered, and that was when he heard the melody in her voice, she might be down but her voice is beautiful.

He snapped out of his thoughts as he that he was already wooing a strange girl that he doesn't even know, but somehow he couldn't help but worry, considering how pitiful she looked.
