CHAPTER 8

TAYLOR

We walked out of the church hand in hand, but immediately we were a distance away from the church building, Michael abruptly let go of my hand and the gesture felt so cold and dismissive.

Fernandez rushed up to him at that moment and whispered something in his ear and immediately he took a step back, Michael pulled him aside to talk to him so I was left to stand alone and it was awkward.

I remained in the same spot while I watched him converse with his bodyguard and the longer I watched him, the more it felt like the kiss we shared was nothing but a dream. I didn't want to believe that I just felt his lips upon mine just seconds ago.

So I made myself think… that it wasn't real. It was just an act because Michael Rover didn't find me to be attractive one bit. He had never even looked my way for longer than a few minutes and I couldn't count on one hand how many times I'd seen him in person since he bought me. So the kiss was nothing to him… and I had to think nothing o

    CHAPTER 9TAYLORThe hitting didn't stop. Instead, I was forced to sit side by side with Michael and watch Fernandez hit Mr Thomas on and on until he was nothing but a weak and bloodied mess on the floor.I suddenly felt the urge to vomit while I helplessly watched. Then Fernandez finally stopped hitting him and turned to Michael while he straightened his jacket with a look of satisfaction on his face. But I was quick to push the urge to vomit back and when I looked at Michael, I realized he had been watching me closely.“I told you that you'd have to get used to this life now. So don't look so pale, Taylor. This is just the beginning” he said softly and I blinked while staring at him in disbelief.“You could have taken him to the police. Why do you have to take it this far?” I asked while my body shook with vigor because to say I was traumatized would be an understatement.Mr Thomas's cries of plea and the sound of his bones breaking as he got beaten kept ringing in my head and Mich

    CHAPTER 10TAYLORAfter managing to find a bathroom, I rinsed my mouth and face there. Then I took some minutes to collect myself together before I made my way back to the room where Michael and Fernandez were and upon opening the door, I noticed that both Mr Thomas and Fernandez weren't there anymore.I froze by the doorway as many thoughts began to run through my head. I was scared that they may have done something horrible to him and I slowly turned my head toward Michael only to see him furiously typing away on his phone with a scowl etched deeply onto his face.Then he returned the phone into his pocket, pinched the bridge of his nose like he was stressed about something and as if he knew I was watching, he turned toward my direction too and a chill ran through my body when our eyes met. “Do you feel better now, Taylor?” He asked after eyeing me from head to toe and I nodded without uttering a response because I still didn't want to talk to him and he too, looked away once I con

    CHAPTER 11TAYLORWith the blanket in hand, I got off the couch and walked over to the kitchen to see what Fernandez was up to and I stood by the doorway to watch him set up dinner on the kitchen island.Once he was done, I cautiously walked into the kitchen and made my way to the island. Watching him closely as I gently pulled a chair back to sit, he stopped arranging and looked at me and I paused too.We held eye contact without saying a word but then he looked away and went on with what he was doing like I wasn't there and I blinked in surprise before deciding to ignore him too.So I sat down, pulled my food closer to myself and picked up the cutlery before I took the first spoon. Immediately it hit my buds, my eyes widened in surprise at how good it was.It wasn't my first time eating what he'd cooked but I had to admit to myself that his dish this time was exceptional. I immediately became curious about how he was such a good cook and even though we hardly spoke to each other, I

    CHAPTER 12TAYLOR I didn't see Michael for another two weeks. He never showed up, never sent any messages to me via Fernandez either, and after the last conversation I and Fernandez had, the mood between us had turned icy.Ever since I asked him that question about the mysterious Blair, he defaulted and returned to the way he was when I was newly brought to this mansion. The friendly aura around him disappeared, and in place of it, he carried himself with an icy air, which scared the life out of me.He started to act like I was non-existent in the house even though it was just the two of us and it was only when he left to get a job assigned to him done that I could finally relax and feel less pressured by his presence. Then, the boredom began to set in. I got sick and tired of staying in a particular place and didn't care if the house was a mansion. It didn't matter if there were many rooms, a pool, gamerooms, and even a garden in the mansion.All I wanted was a change of environmen

    CHAPTER 13MICHAEL “Repeat what you said, Fernandez. Taylor left the house alone?” I asked my bodyguard in disbelief over the phone and I heard him sigh loudly. “Yes, boss. I returned from my assignment only to see that she and the car I left behind were both gone” he replied and I quickly inhaled sharply to control the anger that took over me. I was fighting the urge to slam my fist against the table before me.I warned her. I warned her not to make the mistake of thinking she could escape me and not only did she run away, she did so along with my car. I was going to find her and when I did, I was going to make her regret what she'd done.“I can find her though, boss. I'll track the car to figure out her whereabouts because I know she can't be that far yet” Fernandez said and a little of my rage dissolved when he offered a solution.“Then do that immediately and get back to me once she's been found. Do not take too long because I don't have the patience” I ordered and I could visua

    CHAPTER 14TAYLOR Minutes passed since the shooting began and it still hadn't stopped.My fear was starting to eat too deeply into me and it made me wonder if I was going to leave there alive.While I had thoughts of regret, a bullet suddenly hit the car and I screamed in horror as I stared wide eyed at Michael who was outside and had his back facing toward me.I watched him grab another gun from beneath his jacket before he began to shoot even faster than he did before in different directions and less than a minutes later, the whole place went silent and I wondered what had happened.The door to the car’s backseat pulled open at that moment and I flinched in fear before realizing it was Michael and I sighed in relief upon seeing he was okay. So I scooted over to the other side as he came inside and sat beside me and a dreadful silence filled the car for a moment.I opened my mouth to ask him what just happened out there since my curiosity couldn't help it anymore but then he snapped

    CHAPTER 15TAYLORImmediately the car came to a stop in front of the mansion, I pushed the door open and rushed out to get some of the fresh air into my lungs and I struggled to calm my racing heart while I relived through every scary moment that I spent back at the cemetery. The bodyguard who drove us back got out of the car just as Michael got out too and all I heard was Michael dismissing him so he left and it was me, him and Fernandez left.The thought of knowing my life was now in danger because of the same man who bought me against my own will made me sick to my stomach and acknowledging the fact that he killed those assassins made me even sicker. I couldn't breathe. Neither could I even vomit it out so it suffocated me and my face got hotter while I ran my hand over my neck.While I knelt on the ground and struggled to get a grip, a pair of glistening shoes stood before me and while I still gasped for air, I raised my head to see who it was and I saw Michael staring down at

    CHAPTER 16TAYLOR“I'm sorry I messed your shirt up. I didn't mean to” I apologized while wringing my hands again and to my surprise, all he did was shake his head as he returned everything he used back into the first aid box. Then he locked it shut and looked up at me.“You don't have to be sorry, Taylor, it's fine” he replied calmly and my eyes widened.“Really? you're not mad at me?” I asked in surprise and he shook his head.“Why? should I be?” he asked me and I looked away for a moment.“What did I say about eye contact?” he asked and I quickly looked back at him.“I'm sorry” I said and he tilted his head to the side as that studious look in his eyes returned and it became hard for me to keep eye contact with him but I had to… even though he made me feel like he could see through me.“Why are you always apologizing?” he asked and I sighed while rolling my eyes. Did he always have to ask me such difficult questions?“Yes, Taylor? I'm going to always ask them. So give me an answ

I'll take you to your room” he said to her and she groaned while clutching onto her stomach.“I'm starving, Michael. I'd like to have dinner first and both of you are joining me” she said and he threw his head back tiredly before he placed the luggage on the floor and faced her.“Alright. Taylor can set something up for dinner. She's a great cook and you'll love her dishes” he replied and she looked at me with a smile.“You don't mind making dinner for me, Taylor. Right?” she asked and I shook my head.“Of course not. I'd be delighted to” I told her and she grinned while clapping excitedly. Then she waved at Michael before she followed me into the kitchen and together, we set up the dining table since she offered to help.Soon, we were done since I already made soup earlier and Mich

    CHAPTER 61TAYLORThe air felt awkward between us as we stood side by side in the airport and waited for someone I'd never met before.Minutes passed and the crowd started to lessen with time. I was already starting to wonder if this so called cousin even got on the plane when I heard a voice yelling out Michael's name and I looked toward the direction to see a petite lady waving dramatically at us.“Come on, let's go. She's here” Michael told me, his voice carrying a hint of exhaustion and I nodded before following him while I gave his cousin a curious look.Compared to his hard exterior, she looked fun and easy going. Her wide smile and beaming eyes were enough to give that away but what she wore caught my interest too.I expected to see someone sophisticated. Probably dressed in a skirt and blazer like she was heading for a meeting but instead, she wore a blue jean jumper, her hair was held up in a braided ponytail and her nails dazzled with different colors of nail polish. She wa

    CHAPTER 60TAYLORI was making dinner but I was absent minded. I just stared into space while stirring the pot of soup before me until it began to boil and still, I didn't realize I was supposed to turn the burner off already.“Taylor! What are you thinking?” Michael's scornful voice suddenly filtered through my empty thoughts and I flinched as he came up from behind me and turned the burner off.The soup splashed and little of it got onto my hand and I winced in pain while holding onto my hand in pain.“I… I wasn't…” I had no idea what to say while I struggled to endure the pain from the burn and he grabbed my hand before pulling me to the dining table.“Sit!” He ordered before forcing me down onto a chair and I watched him rummage through the kitchen for the first aid box until he found it. Then he returned to me and sat beside me before pulling my hand toward him again.“You have been acting differently these days, Taylor, because you have never zoned out like this. What's the matt

    CHAPTER 59MICHAELTaylor felt distant and different. At first, I assumed it was because of how I spoke to her in front of Blair and Carlos and I thought it would be like the usual… it was only going to be a matter of time before she would let go of the anger.It was like within the time that I asked her to leave my office until when Blair and Carlos left, she had built up a wall around her and her eyes looked so unreadable. It was like she was unrecognizable.I couldn't forget when I walked into the office where she learnt with Miss Blackwood to get her so we could leave. The look she had in her eyes was so foreign. She didn't smile or give any reaction as she saw me but still, I assumed she was just merely pissed at me. But then, her body language began to say otherwise. The way she kept a steady distance between me and her as we walked to the car, the way she scooted away from me inside the car and didn't look my way at least once until I spoke to her throughout the drive, and ho

    CHAPTER 58 TAYLOR We entered the car and I was quick to scoot away from Michael as he joined me in the backseat. I didn't look his way either and instead, rested my head against the window to look outside. The car felt suffocating having him beside me. I wanted to scream, run for as long as my feet could take me or even sob my anger and solitude out to let out the misery I was feeling but I couldn't do any of that. He was going to ask what was wrong and I wouldn't be able to tell him because if I did, I would look stupid and desperate for him and I didn't want that for myself. Not when he didn't see me that way. With a sigh, I scooted away from him even further. Then I started to roll the window down so I could feel the night breeze against my face but then Michael placed his hand over mine from behind me and I froze. Slowly, I turned to look back at him and he was watching me with questioning eyes. “I don't want the windows down. It's ventilated enough” he said and I rel

    CHAPTER 57 TAYLOR Blair walked into the office at that moment and I froze when our eyes met. Ignoring my presence in the room, she looked away and walked toward the desk to meet Carlos and right in front of me and Michael, they shared a kiss. I was so close to asking out loud what she was doing there but I held myself back and watched their exchange in silence until Blair decided to speak. “I came to pick up my fiance only to see blisters on his face and I can also sense a lot of tension here. So tell me… what's going on here, Michael?” She asked and Michael looked at Carlos. “Your fiance was harassing my wife so I gave him a taste of my fist and I think he liked it” Michael told her and she immediately snapped her head toward Carlos with wide eyes. “You know I wouldn't do that, baby. She just wants to make me the bad guy” he said to her and she narrowed her eyes at him for a few seconds. “Are you sure, hun? Are you certain that you didn't try to harass her?” Blair asked him l

    CHAPTER 56 TAYLOR Two weeks passed by and I was doing the same thing everyday. I fed Mane, petted him when he wanted me to, made breakfast and dinner everyday for me and Michael and learnt from Alissa. She never stopped encouraging me throughout the two weeks that I spent learning from her. All she said to me were kind words, she was patient enough too and to impress her the more, I stayed up every night to learn more on my own for at least an hour with Mane’s company. Life didn't feel so bleak and lonely for me anymore and even though that unavoidable distance was still there between me and Michael, I was still glad to see him everyday because it made my day. Fernandez got busier with many jobs to do thanks to Carlos who chose to be a menace so I hardly saw him around compared to before. I couldn't help but wonder though what he'd found out about Carlos so far because I knew he was nothing but a pain in the ass that needed to be taken out of the way. The third week started and

    CHAPTER 55 TAYLOR Walking into the penthouse, Michael got to the door and waited for me to walk in. Then he shut the door after me and just as he walked past me to head for his room, I called for him and he turned around to face me. “I'm going to make dinner after I change my clothes. Is there anything you'd like to eat?” I asked him and he shook his head. “Don't worry about dinner tonight, Taylor. I'm good” he turned down my offer to get him something to eat and I was the one who shook my head this time. “But you haven't had anything today. Even during lunch, you were away for a meeting” I said and he sighed. “I'll decide if I want to eat or not, Taylor. Drop it” he replied and with that, he walked away. Standing alone in the living room, I felt conflicted between listening to him or my guts. I knew he was starving. Maybe it was Carlos who spoiled his mood and made him lose appetite. Or maybe it was something else, I couldn't say. All I knew was that my parents or grandpa nev

    CHAPTER 54 TAYLOR “You really want to know what I'm thinking about, huh?” I asked him while trying to look tough even though I was cowering In fear deep inside and he eyed my face. “You heard me the first time” he replied and I sighed while folding and unfolding my hands as anxiety rolled over me like a blanket. I was still contemplating on whether to actually ask him what was on my mind or to just lie about it. I was confused and scared of what his reaction would be once I let it out of my mouth. But then a thought occurred to me. I realized that there was no way I was going to get the answers I wanted so badly if I didn't ask the question that weighed down on my mind right then. So I decided to take the opportunity and ask him regardless of what would happen afterward. He asked for it so he was going to get it… even though I had no idea why he was so curious about what I thought. “I'm talking to you, Taylor” he pulled me out of my reverie and I sighed in defeat.
