Tanya's heart skipped several beats seeing Alexander like that. She quickly placed the bowl of fruits on the table near the bed and moved closer to Alexander. He didn't look as if he was breathing, and his chest wasn't even moving either. Tanya then moved her finger near his nose, trying to figure out if he's breathing, but suddenly, her wrist was grabbed tightly, firmly, and roughly. Due to the sudden movement, tanya fell forward and fell on Alexander's chest.Alexander's hand on her wrist was as firm as steel, and she couldn't even move her wrist an inch. He held unto her wrist too tightly that tanya thought if he exerted more force, her wrist would snap into two. The pain coming from her wrist made her oblivious to the position she was entangled in with Alexander. “Let go of me. You're hurting me.” Tanya said. Her eyes had already started turning red in pain. Seeing that there was no attempt of Alexander leaving her wrist, tanya raised her
After Alexander closed his eyes, tanya took the bowl she brought into the room closer to her. She found a small black face towel on the table, which she picked, and then dipped it into the bowl of warm water. After making sure it was fully soaked in the water, she took it out of the bowl and squeezed the excess water out of it. Then, she gently placed the towel on Alexander's forehead. Alexander, who had his eyes closed, was surprised by the sudden warmth on his head. So this was what she wanted to do all along? He opened his eyes slowly, and his eyes met with Tanya's eyes.For a moment, it was as if the time had stopped. “Close your eyes and sleep. By the time you wake up, I'm sure you won't be as cold as you are now.” Tanya said as she withdrew her gaze away from Alexander's eyes. She then pulled the black duvet to cover his body all the way to his neck. For some reason, Alexander closed his eyes back. He also wanted this moment to last a bit longer.
An hour ago, Samuel had arrived at the pink house to check on tanya. He had tried contacting her phone, but it wasn't going through. Seeing how Alexander said he was going to punish her personally that day, Samuel has not been at rest ever since then. He had imagined all kinds of punishment Alexander would have given to tanya. What if he makes her clean the whole house? What if he doesn't feed her? What if he locked her up in a room? Samuel even imagined Alexander beheading tanya. When he couldn't control his curiosity any longer, he decided to come over to check on tanya. He had first gone to his fist apartment but heard from the servants there that he had moved to this place. So he came running here while he imagined the worst-case scenarios. Upon reaching here, he was told to sit at the living room for a while by a servant, while the servant went to call josh over. When josh arrived, he told Samuel to sit some more, with the excuse that tanya may still be sleepi
“Is that how you repay me for the kindness I've shown to you?” Alexander asked with a brow raised.“What kindness?” “Should I get him to come back into this room?” Alexander asked.“Yo….you…..you are really crazy. Why would you call him back here?” “Never mind. Let's button you up first.” Alexander said the supported his weight by placing his elbow firmly on the bed.Then he started buttoning up the top.“What are you doing?” Tanya asked nervously. “Just stay still. I'm almost done.” Alexander said.Then, after buttoning up the top, he helped her adjust it well, then up layed back on the bed. Tanya quickly jumped out of the bed as soon as he got down from her. Without saying anything, she ran out of the room like a rabbit who's running away from a wolf. “She's cute.” Alexander said to himself. Tanya ran to her room as fast as she could. After entering her room, she quickly locked the door behind her. Then she rushed to the bathroom and turned on the shower.
“Yes you can. I'm glad you liked it.” Josh said.Alexander just stared at the both of them feeling somewhat lost. The duo seemed like couples, and he seemed to be the third wheel there. As he was about to say something, he saw Tanya's disturbed face looking a bit calm.It seemed that whatever was inside the bottle calmed her down a little. As for tanya, she enjoyed the drink josh had given her. The sweet and sour taste of lemon, probably containing a small amount if honey, soothened her. While drinking, she felt the taste of the drink felt familiar to her. But she was sure she had never drank something like this before.Why did she feel it was familiar? She didn't know. After drinking it all, she handed the bottle back to josh.“Thanks.” She said with a polite smile.Josh accepted the bottle and continued driving.Tanya also went back to staring outside the window. While Alexander looked more lost.He looked over to josh from the rear view mirror, and to his grea
“Hello.” A deep voice said from the other end.Hearing the unusual coldness in his voice, Tanya's words got stuck in her throat.No matter what the situation was, Samuel was always gentle with tanya.Although tanya knew about his other side, the side where he could be a cold-hearted person, Samuel had never shown her that side. Meanwhile, Samuel, who was on the rooftop of an uncompleted building with a lit cigarette between his fingers, stood with his back resting of the railing. When his phone rang, he answered the call without checking who it was. The number was his private number, and only a few people knew of the number.But after saying ‘hello’ and no reply for seconds, Samuel took the phone away from his ear and checked who called him. But it was just a couple of numbers that weren't saved on his contact.Hearing no sound from the other end, Samuel was about to end the call when a low but gentle voice said, ‘Samuel?’ Almost immediately, Samuel recogni
“Where's she?” Alexander asked.“What? Where's who?” The waiter asked, not really understanding what Alexander was saying. “Don't make me repeat myself.” Alexander said in a more bone-chilling voice. “But… wait… do you mean the lady who came into the restaurant with you?” The waiter asked but didn't get a response from Alexander. “When i came to deliver the food, I didn't see anyone here.” “Are you sure of what you are saying?” Josh asked.“Yes I am.” The waiter said. “When you didn't see anyone, why didn't you report back to me?” Josh asked.“Well, I thought she was in the restroom, so I just left the food here and left.” The waiter said.“Are you sure you are speaking nothing but the truth?” Josh asked.“Yes. That's all I know. I wouldn't dare lie to you.” “You can leave.” Josh said.The waiter quickly stood up and ran for her dear life. Immediately, the waiter left, Alexander's hand was wrapped around a flower vase. “Master, it seems like she's missing.
Samuel just sighed at his fate. He raised his hand and grabbed a book from the bookshelf behind him.“You know you should be the one reading to me. Because I've always been the one reading for you for ages.” Sameul said as he opened the book.“Nah I'm not listening. Start reading.” Tanya said with her eyes closed. “I will. Spoilt brat.” Samuel said and started reading. “Read a bit louder and stop murmuring. I can't hear you.” Tanya said. “Okay.” Samuel said and increased the volume of his voice. “Put some emotions into your voice. Stop reading blankly.” Tanya said again. Samuel sighed and tried his best to do just as tanya said.“Stop exaggerating what you are reading. Can't you read normally? Why are you reading like i am forcing you to read?” “Okay. I've heard enough. I'm not reading to you again.” Samuel said and closed the book. “What? Why?” Tanya asked.“You should read it to me instead. I'm very tired. I've been working without rest for weeks now.” Samuel said.
