Fall For Me

Carson’s pov

The blood in my body boiled as I picked up a vase and flung it across the room. He dared threaten my Valerie, He crossed a line and there was no going back.

“Benson, pull out anything you can find, leading to Mr Longe’s illegal activities” I commanded Benson, trying to maintain my cool, He doesn’t know the lengths I would go to for Valerie.

“You mean everything?” Benson asked me curiously

“Every single thing you can find, and send In some maids” I instructed.

“Will do sir” After I said those words, Benson left my side immediately, I was enraged, I wanted to put Mr Longe in his place, I didn’t think of anything else, He would surely pay for mentioning Valerie’s name, He will regret the day his spy told him about my girl, Such guts, I will have to find the person. Some maids knocked and walked in a few minutes after I had instructed Benson.

“How may we serve you sir” One of my maids, Martha asked, She had been working in the mansion for three years and had grown to be one of my favorites.

“I want to bathe,” I said, already boiling with anger. I needed to cool off.

They arranged for me to have a bath, When they were done I walked inside and closed the door behind me, Since I met Valerie I haven’t let another woman touch me, they scrub my body, I prefer three to six of them, But something about Valerie made me despise another woman’s touch, I only wanted her to touch me, To accept me for the messed up man that I am, With time she will learn to love me, I spent time in the bathroom, Thinking and worrying about Valerie, Her face was plastered in my head, No one had ever made me feel this way, I was ready to do anything for her, I finally got out and wrapped a towel around my waist, When I stepped out I saw the maids waiting for me outside.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

“Has she eaten?” I said vaguely and I knew they’d understand because there’s no other person I would care so much about to ask after their well-being, She is making me soft, I don’t mind as long as I’m with her I can be anything she wants me to be. I smiled inwardly

“Yes sir” Martha replied, I nodded and waved my hand dismissing them, Not less than a minute I heard a knock again

“You may come in,” I instructed. They swung in with trays and the like, My table was set up and I sat down to have my breakfast.

“Anything else sir,” Martha asked with a smile on her face, She always had this welcoming smile.

“Get one of the bodyguards in here quickly” I commanded and the bodyguard marched in at my call.

“Good morning boss” He greeted, I finished chewing before I nodded and spoke.

“You should give the lady a tour of the mansion” I figured she must be feeling trapped, I should at least let her be free in some kind of way. And I figured she would need security in case she tried to run away. I got back straight to having my breakfast

After some time my table had been cleared and I soliloquized about the next course of action I would have to take to put Mr. Longe down. I heard a chaotic scream and I heard fast approaching footsteps, The bodyguard barged into my room.

“Sir there’s something wrong with the girl, she’s unconscious,” The bodyguard said in a panicked voice, I sprung up with fear and wild thoughts running through my mind, We were just coming back from the clinic and she hadn’t fully recovered from the injuries she sustained from her failed attempt of running away.

“Where is she? Take me there right now” I said in a loud and thunderous voice, If I find out Mr. Longe is involved in this. I will make him pay for all the days of his miserable old life.

“Follow me sir” The bodyguard led the way, He had picked her up from the floor and had carried her into her room, I started asking questions on our way to the room

“What happened? I sent you there to look after her, What is this news I’m hearing” I said with anger filling every word that I uttered.

“Everything was perfectly fine Sir, We got to the gallery and she collapsed on the floor” After hearing these words from the bodyguard, I quickened my walking step, My heart grew heavy at the thought of the amount of pain she was passing through because of me, Perhaps I should let her leave, She might be safer that way. As we approached her room, The door was opened and I saw her maid standing still beside her.

“Tell Benson to call a doctor immediately, Go now!” I yelled and I rushed by her side, Kissing her hand, I saw her lips turning blue. The fear in my body only heightened more as I saw her in such a state. She didn’t deserve to be punished like this, I turned to the maid that was beside her.

“Are you just going to stand there? Tell me what happened” I demanded and I saw her shaking before she answered my question with a frightened voice

“We- we were having a tour of the mansion- of your mansion Sir before madame screamed in pain and fell to the floor, losing consciousness” Janet narrated to me.

“Did she eat anything?” I asked immediately and she said the last word.

“Yes she had soup” Janet replied

Perhaps she is allergic to soup? I wanted to enquire more about what had caused her to suddenly collapse but the doctor came in with Benson. After a few tests, He gave her some injections.

“She was poisoned,” He said to me

“Food poisoning or allergic reaction?” I asked because she might have an allergic reaction to the soup that was served to her earlier.

“No sir, This was a poison that was intended to kill her” The doctor answered.
