Fear

Adele's POV

My eyes are sore from too much tears, I never choose this life. This is not the life I wanted, I'm still confused on how I got here. 

He came in here just to sleep with me, I mentally facepalmed myself as the memories of last night peaked in. All I could see yesterday was Jacob even though he has proven to me so many times that he's not or maybe he chooses not to be my Jacob anymore.

I was stupid to wish he'll be gentle with me but my legs and in between are still suffering from his fierce thrust the night before.

“What do you think you are doing here?” a sharp voice cut through my thoughts. I realized I've wandered into a garden that looks pretty with flowers, the atmosphere here is breathable and not toxic like the rest of the mansion I've been to. 

“Are you deaf? You can't speak?” The full tattooed lady glared at me with hatred, I've never been looked at like this in my whole life. She ran her eyes up and down my body as if accessing an unwanted product seeing if it could be of any use before trashing it. 

“I don't know, I was just taking a stroll and I met myself here” I gave myself a pat on my back mentally for looking into her eyes while I answered her. Even if it was for a few seconds before my eyes flew back to my feet. 

My eyes went back up to her face when she took long to day anything back, I can feel her eyes tearing my skin so I took my time sizing her from her feet. I have a bad habit of spotting the bad things about people's bodies or posture. 

She had bracket legs and was putting on tight pants as if showing the world how badly shaped she was. My eyes moved from her flat tummy up to her bust area and I closed my eyes for a few seconds, pretending to pinch my nose to control my laughter. 

“So you mean your legs carry themselves without your permission and bring them selves here right?” she snared at me, I took a step back in fear. 

“You are truly everything I've heard about you” She circled me “But we both know this isn't who you really are and I bet I'd have as much fun as I want with you” She finished stopping right in front of me right after sniffing me. 

Are these people dogs? What with them and sniffing me. 

“You smell spoiled and rotten, you just make the atmosphere too toxic to breathe in and I'd hate to be in the same space with you. I hope you know what that means?” She moved closer to me, putting the very strand of my hair behind my ears. 

“Stay off my path” she whispered in my ears before brushing my shoulder with hers 

“You should breathe,” she said as she walked away. 

I didn't realize I was holding my breath until she mentioned it. I breathed out like I was under the water for a long while and I'm now on the surface for air. 

My heart was beating so fast, I feared my heart might jump out of my ribcage so I held my chest tightly securing it. 

Since I stepped into this house, my heart rate has been abnormal. I fear I might develop heart issues if I've not already, every day I'm faced with more fierce looking people. 

They all look like that could eat me whole, the men look like they've been training to fight a giant. They are all tall, broad and scary and the few females among them look like they would love to switch gender. 

They look like they're training towards ghat already. 

Alex is the only person that has been a little nice to me since I got here. 

Dragging my jelly like legs back to my room with my head bow, my hand gripping the sleeves of my clothes tightly. Everyone in the house has something to say and I still couldn't figure out why they're all cruel and rude to me, I know my dad has business with Killian which was why u was here in the first place but I don't think I've done anything wrong to anyone to deserve this. 

“Look at her, like father like daughter” My feet stopped moving on their own, I raised my head slowly to look at the lady who said it. Cold brown eyes met mine, I felt a chill down my spine and I unconsciously looked away as it kept warning me of how dangerous the owner was, my eyes met with my feet nervously and I continued dragging my feet because they got heavier. 

I spared everyone in the room one last glance as my eyes swept around the room but instant regret washed me from my head down to my toes, the hair on my body stood and I immediately wished the ground could open and swallow me whole when I stumbled on my dress clumsily. I hugged myself as I felt cold like when u just got out of an Ice bath. 

I feel tears pickled at the back of my eyes but I blinked them back. Funny enough, I've never been the shy type or scared one but with these people that occupied everywhere in this mansion. The room was stuffy for me as they've sucked up the air in the room. 

Feeling strangled, I started struggling to breathe. I tried to pack my breath in breath out tips but It wasn't working. 

“Are you okay?” I looked up just in time to see who it was, my eyes rolled in and my legs gave way. The world spinner and I saw the room running around the people in there. 

“Adele! Adellee…..” I heard Alex screaming out for me as the room closed in fully.
