I don’t know what’s with him that makes me nervous every time he’s near me. That kind of nervousness that didn’t leveled any nervousness I’ve felt in my whole life. His dark aura that surrounds him makes me want to hate him more. He looks young to be a successful business man, and mind you I’ll lie if I say he doesn’t have the looks. Because he’s looking fine.
But I’m far from being superficial. His looks doesn’t define what’s inside. The fact that he bought me from my father is enough reason for me to conclude that he is a bad person.”I’m here now. Why don’t you talk to me?” he raised a brow.I bit my tongue because of irritation. I’m so good at pretending to be strong and portraying indifference. So after his question, he chuckled because of my silence.”I do not just fuck, Ms. Hampton. I also can talk.” he mocked me.He should have just told me that he needs house help or something! I was so damn mad after I did the dishes. I was even sulking when I went back to my room. It’s not the fact that I had to do the chores. I hate it because he seems to have the last cards in everything that I do. And I hate it. I hate it when he’s always the one to have the final say. It’s not supposed to be like this. I should be annoying the hell out of him until he gets tired of my attitude. But what’s happening is the other way round. I’m hella annoyed! This shouldn’t be like this. I need to think of ways from now on. Because if this set-up goes on, then I think I would really end up being his slave. Not mentioning what kind of slave though. I look at the clock. The evening is still not at its peak. I stood up and went outside the room wondering where his room was. I convinced myself not to be impudent. Even though
I’ve been too weak my whole life. But being in this kind of circumstances is awakening. Being sold into someone for a lifetime is something I couldn’t forgive. It’s something that I couldn’t bear.I will not for sure settle for a life like this. So far of my stay here, he hasn’t shown me any sign of sexual desires. I’m surprised that he even gave me a separate room. But who knows? Maybe that man’s evilness is being kept in a deep hole that’s waiting to burst out any moment.As soon as he left, I came into the door and peered into it. I’m not shocked to see some uniformed bulk men in there. Just like what he told me. He will not bring me into his errands but he will tighten my security. That’s much better, rather than being with him.Even though I’m alone in his whole unit, I sneakily came into his room’s door hoping that it’s not locked. And gladly
He did come back that night. I acted as if I didn’t do anything unusual this morning. Like as if I didn’t sneak into his things without this permission. Like he said, we went out for dinner. I busied myself by watching the night city. Before, this was so far out of reach for me. I’m jailed inside our house and forbidden to go out. So looking at the view, I still can't help but to be amazed. ”What did you do in the unit?” I was a bit startled when he suddenly asked me. I gulped thinking that he knew what I did this morning. ”Did you get bored?” he added. I breathe in relief. I thought he’s talking about the little crime I committed. I smiled lightly and shook my head. I then remove my eye on him because I can’t bear to look him in the eye after what I did. I would never look at him the same way. I thought he’s just one of these rich businessmen but
”Yes. Ros. I’ll be needing that.” My lips are in a thin line.. For the whole trip back to his penthouse, my mind became busy. All I did was to listen to Elijah having calls every now and then. The next thing I knew, I woke up with Elijah’s calling. ”Emma,” he whispered.I opened my eyes and saw him standing and leaning at me at the open car’s door. His face is inches away from me. ”We’re home.” I blinked my eyes realizing that I had a nap on our way home. His fingers ran into my hair while still in the same position. My heart pounded a bit, and I don’t even know why. ”Hmm,” I shrugged and started to move. He helped me get out o
Whatever that kiss may mean, it was nothing. I expected worse actually. Sure, he makes me a bit nervous every time he’s around but maybe that’s just because I’m intimidated and my reflexes as well because of past experiences. ”Are you going now?” I asked when he stood up after eating the breakfast that I prepared. He looked down on me and it seems like the amusement on his face will be forever embedded when he’s talking to me. ”Yes. I have an early meeting.” ”Uh, alright.” I pursed my lips. I stood as well and started to fix the plates. Deep inside, I am rejoicing. I’ve been waiting for him to leave. I busied myself in the kitchen and like usual, I felt his presence on my back, I didn’t react and just continued washing the plates. ”You don’t always have to wash the plates. I can make my house help do that.” My m
The days passed just like that. With the same routine and the same act of pretending and going undercover. Sometimes I would talk to Lulu, when she’s not busy. I ask for updates and sometimes, I just want to have someone to talk to. Meanwhile, Elijah is still the same. What’s between us stays the way it is. And that’s unusual for someone who just paid millions for a fuck buddy. Lulu is right. But as I've said, that is more favorable than me. I’ll just focus on what I must be doing while he’s still preoccupied. ”I’m still in the process of looking for him. I went into your house but it seems like nobody lives there.” Lulu said, one time when I called her. ”Of course.” He might have left by now. ”You think he moved out?” ”That’s what I thought too.” That’s how far I’ve known. With the phone I have there’s on
Whatever it is that he said. I tried not to dwell much on it. I don’t want to lose when I’m not even starting yet. ”How was your day?” I looked at him when he suddenly opened a topic in the middle of supper. I don’t know why he’s suddenly been friendly to me these past few days, but maybe also because I’m casual to him? I don’t know. I’ll just fake it till I make it.“Fine. How about you?”He didn’t answer me, he just had this slight smile on his lips. I shrugged and continued eating. ”I’ll be leaving for the countryside this weekend. There’s a business matter I need to attend to.” I listened to him. Though I didn’t know why he’s suddenly saying this to me I just nodded. ‘That’s fine then. No presence of you for days.’&rd
Going back to the car, I almost felt the raging fire that’s building in him. I slowly removed my fingers in his hands and that made him look at me. I glance at him and his hardened expression. Damn, he’s mad. He made some gestures with his hands, and with that Ros immediately handed him the key. I stood there watching them. He’s gonna drive?”Get inside.” he said coldly. I shrugged and walked into the other side of the car. Sibal opened the shotgun seat for me. I almost looked at him begging eyes. Seriously, I don’t want to be left with this man! I wore my seat belt silently and glanced at him once again. His hardened expression is still the same. I cursed myself inside my head. I know I’m trying to be hard-headed but I admit this is the wrong timing to do that. ”I’m sorry. I just wanted to g
