Keane woke up to an empty bed, she was not by his side. Looking around, there was no sign of her.It was strange how he felt so deep asleep with her by his side, normally he wasn't the type to drown in his sleep but it was different with her around.Climbing down the stairs, he was met with a delicious dinner served. Manhattan clam chowder and bread with some nice french fries.He walks to his seat quietly watching the tiny figure before he walks in and out of the kitchen. She only stops when the fishes are all on the table.She quickly served him some on his plate, before taking her seat by the side, on her usual."Why didn't you stay longer?" His baritone voice vibrates, it was the first time he spoke since he woke up and the sound of his voice in her ears sends shivers down her spine as she stares at him in disbelief. She didn't expect him to say much."Sorry master…I couldn't fall asleep so I thought it wise to prepare you dinner" she explains with her head lowered. He nods and d
Derrick walks in and sits on Smiles desk, he's always like that. Seats didn't go well with him and Smiles wasn't complaining either, she just stayed quiet ignoring him."How long do you plan on ignoring me?" He asked but she didn't flint and just kept on working like no one was there.This got him angry, like no one has dared to ignore him except Keane but here she was, doing it as if being a big boss somewhere.Normally, he would have walked away or even made them pay somehow but because it was her, he couldn't. There was just someone that was different about her, she was special and had the ability to bring him to his seat without a word. Why was it that way? Is there something he isn't getting?...only unanswered questions lingered in his head."As long as it gets you far away from me!" She tells him nonetheless."Really? Is that how it's going to be now?" He asked in a dissatisfied tone, not liking her words.She flashes him a quick smile and continues working."Why not let me exp
Smiles wipes away her tears staring at the window trying so hard not to cry out. Her eyes caught sight of someone, it was the lady who bumped into her and didn't bother to say sorry but that was not her concern, the one thing that caught her attention was…Keane.He was talking to her, smiling. Strange at what she saw, she turns to Derrick checking if what she's seeing is only her eyes that's seeing it . He follows her gaze, seeing the two love birds.Keane looks very much happy and lifelier as if he just started living today. The smile on his face was something Smiles has never seen since she started living with him.Her gaze never left them, her throbbing heart was as if it would lose functioning if it continued beating.Nothing was more hurtful than the sight of him, hugging her and opening the car door for her.The atmosphere becomes even darker when she kisses him.She didn't realize her eyes were already teary until she blinked. The tears came rolling down her pale cheeks.Derric
Later that day, Derrick drove her home, she didn't resist and just let him. There was no Keane to ride her back home anyways. Sitting in the car lost in thought, Smiles was brought back to reality by Derrick's baritone voice."Here we are!" He informs me. She nods and pushes on the door."Sure you're ok?" He asked. He noticed her silence all through their ride home and it got him worried. She nods before saying 'yes' but her face says otherwise.Not wanting to bug her anymore, he nods, waves her goodbye and kicks off.She was left alone standing, her once dry eyes were now clouded with tears threatening to fall.Since she heard about Keane having a girlfriend, she's been feeling uneasy inside. She just didn't know how to feel about it, all she knows is that she's hurt by the news.When she entered the mansion, the butler was climbing down the stairs. They met but she didn't say a word and headed upstairs to her room.Only then could she cry out, not too loud though. The room was gh
Smiles walked out of the company building, and stood by the road side as usual waiting for a taxi. There was no Derrick to drive her home today, because he had to go search more on his missing sister.Not like she needed him now, all she wished for is to be left alone. Thank goodness he wasn't here, like that wish of hers wouldn't have been granted Behind, was Keane and Lisa coming out of the building hand in hand with each other.She saw them and was quick to divert her gaze away from them. She knew herself better than to watch them being all lovey dovey.As usual, his car stopped before him and they drove away. She watches them leave, with no form of emotion. She's learned to brace up herself and not be the emotional type she's always been.Stopping a taxi, she buds in quietly gazing at nothing, seemingly lost in thought.Her drive home was somehow long because of the constant stop they had to make but it didn't bother her one bit, she wasn't conscious of her surroundings either.
The door to her room opens, and her head snaps to the side with a sweet smile on her face. She knew it was him and her heart couldn't stop beating in excitement.So she thought until the person behind the door made himself visible.Her face drops at the sight of the butler, standing by the door.Her once excited heart was now twisting in pain. What was she expecting? For him to leave his sweet Lisa and come check on her, His worker? That's ridiculous of her to think he will do such a thing."The young Master demands your presence, Ms" the butler informs, and leaves.As the obedient slave that she was, she climbs off the bed adjusting her dress. She was wearing grey sweatpants and a sweatshirt. Her cherry brown wavy hair was messy but it made her look even more beautiful.Bracing herself, she walks out of the room climbing down the stairs.Her gaze caught sight of Keane sitting in the dining, eating.He was alone, guess that's why he remembered her. Always the second choice."Heard you
There was absolutely nothing she could do, and it was so annoying to know her sluggishness would worsen with time.Keane was not at home, and she didn't get to think about him, thanks to social media and her online games.A knock came on the door, grabbing her attention as she stared at the door, ordering the person to come in.It was the butler, he walked in with a shopping bag and placed it by her bedside. She didn't bother moving an inch, not like she couldn't but because the butler always doesn't accept help saying he isn't that old and is capable of doing things himself.So much like everyone in this mansion, not interesting at all."Good morning, Ms" he greets. For the first time since she entered the mansion, he smiles at her.Her brows furrowed in disbelief, like is she dreaming or what? She thought, staring at him in utmost disbelief."G-good morning, Mr" she struggles and says, blinking."Your dress for the ball" he informs. She could only stare at him with no words left. Gu
As soon as they got into the building, she was taking in a tight hug. stunned by what was going on, her eyes met Keane's who responded with a nod."welcome pretty one!" She heard her say. quickly, she snapped out of it and returned the hug."Don't mind me, child, I am just so excited to see you?" grandma Shiley said coaxingly. She responds with a smile before saying"It's ok…" she left her words in suspense not knowing what to call her. Grandma Shiley was quick to notice and chuckled at her facial expression."You can call me grandma…I don't mind having beauty for a grandchild…" grandma Shiley said.Smiles was happy grandma Shiley was a social and open type. With all the numerous times she thought about this event, the last thing she expected was meet his family and the question she can't answer is why did he bring her instead of Lisa? Just what's going on?"Knowing I will get a super cute little Keane and…" Grandma Shiley trials of not knowing her name."Smiles…" She tells her but g
