CHLOE Pov:

“Hey.” I greeted as soon as the door was opened after a few knocks and standing right before me, was Kate’s father.

He looked at me with a look of surprise on his face, as if he was shocked to see me and although I had deduced that it must be because he never expected my visit, his looks said otherwise.

“You are alive.” He said and from his tone, I could tell he was relieved but it only got me wondering what had happened. Did they think I was dead? Why would they do that?

Before I had a chance to speak, he pulled me into an embrace and his sweet scent, filled my nostrils. It reminded me of freshly baked cookies and I knew at once that it probably was because he was baking before I interrupted him.

Other than being a trained soldier, her father was also a good cook. He knew how to bake and was always ready to prepare both our favorite dishes when we were younger.

“It’s good knowing that you are alive.” He said and I could tell he was actually relieved.. relieved for me and i

    Jacob stared at me with a smile on his face while I just smiled back before moving out of the way, letting him walk in. As I stood by the side, I watched as the two love beds, played with each other and a certain warmth settled in my heart as I watched the affectionate scene.Watching the two, I could tell that they were truly in love with each other. At least, she was truly in loved with him and that’s for sure but I couldn’t say the same for him but maybe it was simply because I was just being paranoid.I wanted Kate to remain happy. She deserved that much and I didn’t want her to fall back into depression just like we had both done in the past. It would kill her and I wasn’t ready to watch another loved one die all in the name of love.Soon, she walked away to get ready, leaving both her father and him to discuss while I trailed right behind her. As soon as we got to her room, I leaned on the door shutting it, while a questioning look replaced my expression.“C’mon now, spill it.”

    Sitting before the dressing, I stared at myself. Rue was working on my hair while I still contemplated on what Alistair had said to me earlier.When I returned, I was relieved to know that I didn’t go past curfew this time and that whatever punishment be had for me, he was going to mete it out on me. Alistair had told Rue to inform me that I was to get ready as I would be heading for a family dinner with him, which came as I surprise.I was taken aback by the new change of plans as I had earlier assumed that we would be heading for a ball and it was then and there that I also realized that I had overlooked something else . It was the fact that’s though I had stayed with him for as long as I could remember, I never bothered to ask if he had a family.“Done.” Rue announced, pulling me out of my thoughts while she flashed a smile at me, clearly impressed . “I know I have said this many times that it had become a routine but you look beautiful. “ She complimented as she stared at me from

    Sitting around a large table at the dining area, Alistair’s grandfather would occasionally glance at us with a look of suspicion in his eyes. Maybe he wasn’t buying our false pretense.Nervously, I placed my hand onto Alistair’s and it didn’t go unnoticed by the old man, who smiled at the scene before he looked at me.“Tell me, dear child.” He said and that was when I felt Alistair’s hand beneath mine, move. He. Was moving it away from me and I could tell it had made him somewhat uncomfortable.. not that I was complaining though. “What is your name?”“Chloe.” I replied and he nodded while I managed to take a glance at the lady beside him, who just gave me a straight face. She was hard to read.Though, I could tell that she couldn’t control the anger within her, anytime her face turned towards Alistair’s and it had made me wonder why. What had happened between the two of them? Who was she and why does she hate him so much?“How did you two meet?” The old man asked and this time, it was

    The rest of the journey back home, was awkwardly quiet. Neither of us spoke to one another as we were both troubled. Alistair sat beside me with his eyes staring out the car window while a frown settled on his face. His jaw ticked and his brow furrowed in anger while clenching his fist. I stared at him, my heart racing as I thought of what he had done some minutes ago. I was still shocked by the fact that he had gone against his grandfather, whom he seemed so afraid of but it also made me wonder what he had done. Did he really kill someone or was it all just an allegation to put him in the bad light? His clenched fist caught my attention and I could swear that his knuckles were turning white. I hesitantly placed my palms on his fist and with a look of disapproval from him, I immediately withdrew my hand. I swallowed nervously and stared away. Soon, we’ve arrived at the mansion and as soon as the car rolled and parked in the premises, Alistair hastily alighted the vehicle with a dee

    I stirred in my bed as the alarm clock that sat on the table, rang in my ears, disrupting that little moment of peace. I knew that my eyes had bags under them and that I was a hot mess. Speaking of hot, the weather had suddenly become a bit warm. Maybe so warm, that it had become slightly uncomfortable for me. Sitting on my bed, I rubbed my eyes before I caught sight of a mockingbird that had perched itself on my window's pane as if adding an ironic touch to the start of the day. It flew off almost immediately but that was just the least of my worries at the moment. I hate to admit it, but I genuinely felt concerned for Alistair. He had been rushed to the hospital last night by his assistant. His condition before he was taken away, broke my heart and it made me wonder what he was going through. He never appeared to me as a man, suffering from a trauma of any kind. Was it related to the girl he had killed? I walked over to the window, opening it to let in some fresh air. Since Alis

    Alistair’s Pov My eyes fluttered open, and the first thing that greeted my senses was the sweet scent of jasmine. Before me stood a figure, its features slightly blurred. I could discern the feminine form, hinted by the presence of breasts on the chest. I could barely see her face as her hand stretched out and I felt a soft touch to my hair. Blinking a few times, I was finally able to make out the figure before me. She looked worried and my heart pounded fast against my chest at the realization. “What are you doing?” I asked and her eyes fell on mine. They popped out as if caught in a terrible act and she withdrew her hand in haste. “I…” She swallowed but I could barely hear what she was saying, as my attention was focused on my surroundings. I slowly sat up in the hospital bed, feeling the sterile sheets beneath me. The scent of antiseptic lingered in the air, and the soft hum of medical equipment filled the room. My surroundings were familiar, yet my mind was shrouded in confusi

    What?Did he just say what I thought he did?A frown settled on my face as a mischievous smirk, dotted his face. I couldn’t help but feel a bit offended that he had the time to joke around after the way he had treated me last night. It made me wonder if maybe the whip had something to do with it. He probably must have whipped a few screw loose and that might have been the reason he had forgotten what had happened, as well.“Excuse me?” I said, my brows furrowed while expecting a response from him.“Why, did I stutter?” he replied and then I knew he meant what he had said, every single word.Pouting my lips in annoyance, I walked towards him with the bowl of grilled fish and potatoes. The delicious aroma wafted through the air, tempting my own taste buds despite the situation. As I reached him, I stilled for a moment, catching the subtle playfulness in his eyes, evident by the smirk that adorned his lips. His expression hinted at a mischievous challenge, daring me to go along with his

    ALISTAIR’S POV“How are you feeling, sir Alistair?” The doctor asked while the nurses pulled out the syringe from my arm.I flashed him a reassuring smile, and he reciprocated the gesture before tapping on a pad in his hand. Glancing around the room, an hour had passed since I woke up, and there was still no sign of Chloe returning from wherever she had disappeared to.It made me wonder where she had been to and why.“What about her?” I asked as I couldn’t hold it much longer and the doctor stared at me with a raised brow before he nodded.“Oh, Mrs. Levon?” he asked and a subtle smile painted my lips.Mrs. Levon – the thought of her hearing such a thing probably left her embarrassed, and the realization that she might have already caught wind of it, with me absent to witness her likely irritated reaction, fueled a strong desire to kick myself.“I asked around and was told she had gone to see her mother.” He spoke, pulling me out of my thoughts while I nodded in understanding.I smiled

I couldn't shake the uncertainty of whether she would embrace me or regard me with the same disdain as the rest of Alistair's family.
