Lydia slowly collected the cup from Ryan and  placed it on the table, she stood up and smiled like a cute baby and said "show me around"

Ryan wasn't comfortable, he just didn't want his ego to take control so he agreed and started walking straight to the kitchen since he knew that was the first thing she asked him the first time she entered his mansion.

"Whose mansion.... It yours right?" Lydia asked she only wanted to say something, she had to start a conversation.

"It's mine, it's a secret mansion, only you and I knows this place exist"

Lydia eyes widened she realizes she's the only woman he brought to the mansion. As they left the kitchen, he showed her the rooms and the other large sitting room. Lydia came closer to him as he wanted to show her his yard, she slide her hand into his arm and smiled not looking at Ryan as they walked in the yard.

"What's your name Mr?" Lydia asked

"You know my name Lydia" Ryan said looking straight, he had no idea why sudden heat ran through his body, he was feeling very weird.

"What's you name?" Lydia insisted

Ryan sighed and said "I am Ryan Lucas"

"Hmm... I'm Lydia Williams"

"Why do you lock yourself in your house?" Ryan asked that was the only question he really wanted an answer too.

"You really wanna know huh?... Well I don't like going out and I didn't let myself have friends so I don't get invites, I get invites from my colleagues but I never go out with them"

"Why?"

"Because I prefer to be alone"

"Your parents?"

"I don't talk about them" Lydia said as she slide her fingers into Ryans and turn to look him in the eyes, Lydia looked into Ryans eyes and placed her other hand on his chest and said still looking into his eyes intently "I will ask you questions and you will answer them but while I rest my head on your chest".

Ryan furrowed his eyebrows immediately 'why the hell did she start flirting with him' he thought but he let her place her head on his chest.

"I would be comfortable if we sit" he said, Lydia smiled and nodded as they sat in the yard and the reflection of the water from the swimming pool was reflecting on their face.

Ryan thought she would sit on the other chair but Lydia sat on his lap and placed her head on his chest.

"You said you'd break my chain, do you feel intimidated?" Lydia asked.

Ryan felt really weird, he didn't want a romantic relationship but how would he be happy if he doesn't have one. "I don't... I... I wanted you to talk... I don't trust anyone"

"Neither do I but you are breaking the chains and it's not good"

Ryan frowned again and looked down at Lydia face, her eyes were closed and she looked like a baby.  "Why are you doing this?"

"I want a relationship with you Ryan, I don't want your money"

"Doesn't that scare you? I can't fall in love, I don't want to fall in love... I might cause you a lot pain" Ryan said like a whisper.

"You will, I'm not going to force you, I'm just going to let you free yourself and be happy" Lydia said but Ryan only gulped and closed his eyes
