Chapter 3

It felt like I was sleeping in the sky, wherever I am was so soft.

Where was I? Carrie, Carrie!

I shot up from whatever I was sleeping on. My lips came in contact with something soft and wet, but I was too worried for my Carrie to care.

I looked around confused. Where was I? I spotted Xavier, what was he doing here? He was touching his lips.

I looked away from him.

"Carrie,"  I muttered repetitively. I turned to look at him again.

"Where is my child?" I asked him, hoping he would know where she is. He looked shocked for a moment then composed himself.

"You kissed me." He said unbelievable.

What he just said didn't enter my head.

"Where is my baby?" It came out as a cry.

"She is sleeping." He replied. I jumped out of the bed. "Where is she?" I asked him looking around the room. I have this knowledge if she is okay.

He pointed to a door, I quickly rushed there. There was my Carrie, She was sleeping comfortably. I sighed.

Then everything came back right into my head. I came out of the small room, so I won't wake up Carrie.

I glared at the man before me. "How did I get here?" I asked him rudely. His two hand was in his pockets.

"Is that how you're going to talk to a man who saved you?" He asked. Save? It then came to my sense.

Those guys were going to rape me, I sighed.

"Thank you," I said.

"What?"

"Thank you," I said again.

"I didn't hear you."

He knows what he was doing and I know he heard me.

"I said thank you!" I snapped at him.

He smirked, he probably didn't get the snapping.

"I'd be leaving," I told him.

"Where would you go, as far as I am concerned no one would accept you to work for them... and you have no place to go."

Arrogant much?

I glared at him. "Are you threatening me?" I asked him.

A smirk was playing on his lips, tucking his hand back in his trouser pockets. He was enjoying this. I wanted to smack him in his handsome face.

Handsome face? Seriously Lily, stop this!

"If you put it that way then yes." He said.

"Just know that if you leave this house... There's no shelter outside of here." He said rather arrogantly.

"There's shelter if you just leave me alone!"

"And why would I do that, you insulted me, a thing no one has ever done."

"Ugh! Fine! What do you want me to do? Kneel and plead with you?! Would that make you forget all this?"

"You're not helping the situation, miss."

I scoffed.

"What do you want me to do?" I asked calmly this time.

"I'd make you an offer."

Now he's making an offer?

"Be my assistant." He said.

I was expecting something bad you know. But first, he didn't want to offer me a job, how would I even know if this isn't a trap or something much worse.

I eyed him suspiciously. "First you didn't want to go me a job, now you want to?" I asked him.

"The job is not as easy as you think. You'd have to follow me everywhere I go.."

"And you think I'd accept that?" I asked sharply.

"Enough of the talking back at me, you seem to have forgotten who I am." He said.

"Fine," I said defeated.

Remembering what happened yesterday was enough to make me quiet, if something like that happens again, there might be no one to save me. And I might be endangering Carrie's life.

"Good, you can come out later to sign the papers." He said leaving the room.

I sighed frustratingly.

I went back to where Carrie was, she was already awake. She sat up in the small bed, I carried her from the bed.

"Good morning mommy." She said. I smiled at her.

"Good morning. Now let's go take a bath." I told her, that all I wanted to do was to protect her.

There was a door 2 feet away from her door. This room was huge. We went inside.

"Where are we?" She asked.

"At a friend's house," I told her while cleaning her. Soon we were done, I wrapped her in a small towel.

Where was my bag? I spotted it in a corner, I went there, I brought out one of her gowns, it was pink.

I dresses her, made her hair. Then went to do my own. Soon we were done.

"Stay here, mommy would go look for food okay?"

"Hmm" she replied nodding her head.

I went out.

Wow, everywhere was beautiful and everything looked expensive. I was walking trying to look for that man.

How would I see him in a place like this? I walked for a couple of minutes before I saw the kitchen. There was no way I was going to touch his food.

The kitchen was spacious, it was really bad demand nails were sparkling.

I left the kitchen looking for the front door. I have to be quick before Carrie starts looking for me.

I was opening every door until I reached a door, I looked inside. Woe, just wow.

I stepped in, locking the door behind me. I've never seen a room as beautiful as this. Just then a door inside the room opened.

Oh no.

I quickly hide behind the door. Then I saw him. He was in nothing but a towel.

He is smoking hot! Seriously! Oh god! What was I thinking!?

He was about to pull the towel, my eyes widened and I screamed.
