Chapter 24
Lying on the bed, she was exhausted. Inhale now and then, taking in the air greedily.
Keane pulls open the drawer and removes a pack of tablets, throwing them on her body.
With just a glance, she knew what it was. For some reason, staring at the tablets makes her heart ache but she shakes off the thought pushing herself to sit up straight.
She is no lover of medicine but because he was watching her, she didn’t want him to get an impression of her being afraid of tablets.
She swallows the tablets in her mouth with the help of enough water.
Keane just stood there, staring at her. She placed the cup down, pushing herself up.
Her eyes were teary for unknown reasons and she didn’t want him to notice. With her head lowered, she walks to the bath and closes the door behind her.
There was no need for her to hold on to her tears anymore, she let them out, as they kept on falling like rain.
She moves under the shower, soaking herself wet with the cold water. The water wasn’t cold, to her it was hot. Hotter than it has ever been.
All she wants is to calm her aching heart. She let the water fall on her face, cooling down her head.
“What were you expecting? For him to just let you carry his seed in you? Stupid!” She cursed.
“You said you won’t fall for him, you promised…what now? You fell without realizing, dumbass!!” She runs her hand through her wet hair, feeling frustrated.
A mockery of laughter escaped her lips, resonating in the room. She couldn’t believe her stupid self finally fell for the person she was a slave to.
If it was any other time, she would have been happy but it’s different. She is aware of the consequences if she dares confess her feelings.
It’s been only weeks, it didn’t take him long to break through her defense without even trying.
She didn’t know for how long she had been in the bath. There was no one in the room when she stepped out. She muffled a sigh of relief and quickly got dressed. Falling on the already-made bed, she hopes and prays to sleep and carry her away.
As if God was answering her prayer, she slept off in no time.
Waking up in the morning was like waking up to a new life. She felt so good and well-rested.
She hurries, takes her bath, and heads downstairs. It was a work day.
She’s been missing for two days, thanks to Keane who deliberately got her exhausted to the point she couldn’t feel her body.
Breakfast was served. As usual, there was no Keane to accompany her. Quitely, she eats her food with her mind running wide.
“Derrick!” She murmurs. Only now she realizes it’s been more than four days since she last saw him. She misses him, which she can’t deny and she was happy she would see him today. But all her hopes are shattered when the butler walks in.
“Ms, young Master had given an order for you not to leave the mansion” He informs. She stares at him with wide eyes, not understanding why he will give such an order.
Yes, he is the master, making all the decisions but stopping her from working is outrageous. Maybe not, that’s if he has the money to compensate which he has. that she knows.
“But why?” Her tiny voice came. The Butler didn’t say any other word and left. She couldn’t blame him, he was just the way he was.
He always talks when necessary, like if he’s been given an order or asked to say something.
“He should’ve been a robot instead,” She said annoyingly, a line appeared on her forehead.
What else should she be doing in this boring mansion? She almost died of boredom the last time, but thanks to Derrick, she didn’t.
And now, she is asked to stay at home. Is it a test or what? Because if it is, then she will fail. That’s for sure.
The day went by as usual. It wasn’t how she imagined her day to be but she was happy anyway. With the help of the butler, she got a TV screen in her room, where she spent the rest of her day, watching a series of films.
It was dusk, she could barely know because she was immersed in the movie she was watching to even know what was going on outside.
She wraps herself in the covers, bracing her knees. She was scared, it was a scary movie she was watching.
The powder goes off, out of a sudden and the TV light is seized, leaving her frozen. The entire mansion was immersed in complete darkness, her room was no exception.
She sat there frozen in her seat, she couldn’t move. She could feel her feet getting colder from fear, her palms trembling. Only God knows who asked her to watch scary movies alone.NôvelDrama.Org owns this.
It didn’t take long before the power came back. Her room was still dark because the lights were switched off but the tv light lit so brightly. She flinched in fright, thanking her stars.
The movie pops on the tv screen, it was the part where the evil witch with blood dripping down her mouth was walking slowly towards the woman, who kept on moving backward with the help of her hands and butt.
The witch walks until she is close to the woman, and then, she disappears only to appear behind her, stretch out her hands with long nasty bloody-looking fingers, and hold on to the woman’s shoulder.
It was in the movie, that’s what she believed until a hand landed on her shoulder. Out of reflex, she screams out in fear, jumping off the bed. She was the only one in the room that she was aware of, so how come she felt a touch on her shoulder? Could it be the witch lady is chasing her too?
