He got up on his feet and clenched his jaw by staring at her sleeping face. The place he had given her to stay wasn't enough, now she needed his room to sleep. Her audacity had finally made him lose his control. He strode towards her side and then grabbed her shoulder but before he would pull her up, he heard her hissing badly.
His hold immediately turned gentle by watching her calm face twisting in pain. He looked down at her elbow which was bandaged and he himself didn't know why he didn't want to add more to her pain.He released her shoulder from his grip and she slightly shifted towards his direction, causing her long blonde hair to fall all over face. Her soft snores again started echoing but his eyes got completely stuck at her face which was covered with her hairs.She slightly rubbed her face on the pillows, indicating how her own hairs were disturbing her precious sleep. On its own, his hand decided to get closer to her. He bent his upper body a bit and then pushed her hairs away from her face, mindful of not disturbing her sleep.That irritating frown left from her face as soon as he removed her hairs away from her face. She gently rubbed her face against the soft pillow, just like a tired kitten. He had given her a perfect name.His eyes thoroughly stared at her face, completely forgetting the things which were angering him a little while ago. Her disobedience had been long forgotten and now was that invisible cage of allurigness in which her enchanting innocence had successfully trapped his thoughts. What was so special about this girl that he always ended up staring at her face? He had seen much more fascinating women and girls than her but they had never gained his attention the way she was doing.He was gazing at her face when she again shifted on the bed and then slowly opened her eyes. Those beautifully gleaming sapphire balls come in contact with his dark eyes. She gently batted her lashes at him, making him astonished until"Look, now your scary face is even troubling me in my dreams, piggy," she softly breathed out and again closed her eyes, turning him stunned.She turned around and pulled the duvet more and started snoring again. He scoffed and then snatched the duvet from her."Get the fuck up right now," he roared in his extremely deep voice but it wasn't enough to scare that sleepyhead. He clutched her other shoulder which was not injured and forcefully made her up and sat on the bed.She frowned but her eyes were still closed. He shrugged her, taking her back to this world. Slowly unlatching her eyes, she glared at him."Why are you disturbing me even in my sleep? Trouble me when I am going to wake up. Now shoo shoo..." She spat and was about to lay down again but he clutched her arm and didn't let her sleep."Get up from your precious sleep before I throw you out of my house again and make you sleep on the road," he warned her in his seething tone.She scowled and then opened her sleepy eyes a bit."You're even threatening me in my dreams, you pig,"He chewed on his inner cheek before shrugging her aggressively. Her head started spinning. Her heart started beating faster."What is wrong with you, you rude germ?" She yelled at him but her eyes widened when she noticed something. It wasn't a dream. He was really standing in front of her.He gave her a once over grin by watching her shocking reaction. She lightly slapped on her cheek to make sure it wasn't a dream and guess what? It was not.He crossed his arms against his chest and slightly bent his head before her."A very good morning, your highness,"She gulped at his words and pinched herself to make sure it was real. The way he was glaring at her, she was sure he was going to eat her alive.She wandered her eyes around her and congratulations, she was sleeping in his room, on his bed. She was so gone now.She hurriedly tried to get up from the bed but in her desperate attempt to leave, her palm got slammed against his cheek as his head was still lowered at her.Within a second, she found herself pinned against the bed and him, hovering over her. She gulped when he clutched her jaw in a little harsh grip.His darkened gaze bored deeper into her azure ones."You are finding this game very funny, don't you?" He breathed out against her lips and then leaned more down, almost brushing their noses."But be careful, kitten. This game can make you lose so many things and can even hurt you too," he warned her.His words were far from her understanding. She looked at him, untidily."But what game are we playing?"Again speechless. Her reply made her speechless but a sly smirk crept on his face by watching that naive innocence engulfing all over face. For the first time in his life, an innocence had started enchanting him so much.He released her jaw from his grip and then grabbed her both wrists. Pinning them above her head, he noticed how tender and small she was in front of him. Too soft, too warm and too fragile to break. Too virtuous and innocuous to taint.He scanned her entire face and tried to find fear in her eyes of his closeness but there was none instead she was looking sleepy again. How brave of her?"Don't you dare to sleep?" He warned her, by watching her trying to close her eyes."Why were you sleeping here in my room?" He asked. She amiably yawned before answering."I was cleaning your room and then your bed but then my elbow started hurting and I got tired too and your bed seemed so soft and cosy. I thought to take a little nap before you came but then ended up sleeping a little long," she explained everything to him without hiding anything.Her answer amazed him. He held her both wrists with his one palm, gently and then the other used to support his weight over her, careful enough to not crush her under him but the question was why she wasn't feeling nervous by being in a state like that with him. She was far away from getting intimidated by him."And didn't it scare you that what if I caught you sleeping in my bed?" He questioned looking into those celestial azure eyes.She shook her head in her answer. Very fearless. His smirk turned devious. Gently grazing his knuckles over her soft warm cheeks, he whispered"And why were you not scared of getting caught by me?"She thought for a second before answering"Because I knew it, you won't punish me even if you caught me sleeping,"Amazing, so now she had started understanding him more than he knew about his own self. He continued to caress her cheek"And what makes you think that I won't punish you for sleeping in my bed?" He asked. She shrugged her head."I don't know,"Her reply made him to lean closer to her ear where he whispered those words in her ear"And what if I just punish you right now here in this same bed in which you dared to sleep, my kitten?""And what if I just punish you right now here in this same bed in which you dared to sleep, my kitten?" His hoarse warm voice grazed against her ear which caused her ear to tingle. She tilted her head only to find his deep brown orbs extremely closer to her."First of all, I am not a kitten, piggy," she uttered, frowning and he just stared at her adorably cute face."Secondly, you can't punish me because I am not your student," His smirk turned more vicious at her answer."Really?" He breathed out while brushing his thumb over her warm soft cheek. She nodded her head."But you're my maid which means I can punish my maid for her disobedience,"He saw her pouting her lips in annoyance after hearing him. His gaze shifted to her dark pink petals."But I am not disobedient," she defended herself. He chuckled at her answer."Surely, you're not. Sleeping on your boss's bed on the very first day of your work. Yeah…a very obedient maid I have gotten," his remark was filled with sarcasm. She
Next Morning, Violet woke her up early. She took her shower and did her morning routine. Wearing black jeans and a pink shirt, she got out of her room, which Violet had brought for her yesterday."Wow, looking so adorable and beautiful, Cia," A small smile crept on her face by hearing Violet."Thank you, Violee," she answered. Violet noticed that she was looking less enthusiastic like she used to be, so she asked her."Is everything alright, Cia?"She looked at her through her doe blue eyes before again taking her eyes down "Last night, he scolded me and told me to get out of his room,"she softly breathed out.Her statement widened Violet's eyes."What? But what were you doing in his room?""I was cleaning his room and then mistakenly slept on his bed while making it," Violet's eyes turned more big at that revelation."You were sleeping on his bed?" Violet asked again like she didn't hear her properly. She slowly nodded her head.Violet rubbed her palm over her forehead before sigh
"Mr Alcazar is calling Cia in his room right now," Cia turned off the tap and then turned around to face that maid. "But why is he calling her?"Violet asked because she was still startled after hearing that maid's words."Mr Alcazar ordered me to tell Cia to take his coffee to his room right now," the maid notified. Violet exhaled a breath at her words and then tilted to look at her."Cia, go and give his coffee to him," Hearing Violet, she softly breathed out and then nodded. Violet told one of the maids to pour his coffee in the mug and then she handed the tray of the coffee mug to Cia."Just remember what I told you," Violet said to her in a slight warning tone.Cia nodded her head and then took the tray from her, keeping that thing in her head to avoid him as much as possible and to stay away from him as far as possible which Violet had taught her.Clutching the tray in her palms, she walked out of the kitchen whereas Violet just stared at her retreating figure with that quest
She got out of the bathroom and saw him wearing his shirt. She strode towards him and stood beside him."You should rest for today and check your feet by a doc…""It's fine,"he shut her up without looking at her and continued to button up his shirt.Her brows wiggled in confusion. Until now he was staring at her like a creep and now was ignoring her like she was plague. She stood in front of him"But your feet…""I said it's fine…" he spoke and finally took his head up where she noticed that empty darkness had again erupted in his demeanour. His gaze had turned firm and cold."Now go and do your work," he uttered, curtly and then turned his back on her.She was so confused by the sudden changes in his behaviour and before she could quire further, he dismissed her by saying."Don't come in front of me until and unless I call you," Bewildered, she was bewildered after hearing those words from his mouth. What was his problem? How could he call her whenever he wanted and then tell her to
"Alsher Hudson wouldn't want to marry his only daughter to an already married man," Stunned. His words left Richard stunned. He looked at him, untidily, especially at his devious smirk but before he could ask anything further he speak out"Lock this room and make sure nobody comes closer to it as usual," is all he said before leaving that room, leaving Richard behind him with that same exact question that what was going on in his head.Stepping inside his mansion, he walked inside the hall where his eyes fell on a group of his maids who had circled around a chair on the breakfast table."What are you all doing there?" His loud and firm voice alerted everyone. They all turned around and bowed at him and made a space for him to see what exactly was happening at the table.He saw Violet and then his gaze travelled down to the chair where his eyes fell on those sapphire orbs owner who was sitting on that chair. She also stood up on her feet and stood beside Violet, making sure to avoid h
Her azure eyes met with those dark brown ones again. The hands which were clutching his shirt for support, immediately pushed him away and stepped back from him. He let her go, who was talking to someone on the phone."Okay. Continue to update about it to me," he uttered and then hung up the call, all the while looking into those sapphire orbs which now were glaring at him.She gave him an annoyed glare that he didn't even know how to walk properly. He surely needed to learn so many things but then she remembered Violet's words and this time, she didn't want any trouble with her Violee because of this scary rude pig.She was about to walk past him but his remark made her halt."Why don't you use your head like your mouth?" She snapped her head at him at his words. He stepped a bit closer to her and then took a brief glance of her entire face."And if not head then use your feet and eyes properly because we can cooperate with your empty head but not with your stumbling legs and defect
She twirled around and glared at his deep brown orbs. Their bodies were so close but they were not touching each other in any way because he had made sure about it as now his own thoughts had started betraying him around her."Now what else has left to say to hurt me?" She finally opened her mouth, still crying. He said nothing."Say it, hurt me and then get out of here," she blurted out at him, angrily. Wow…she had just told him to get out of the room he had given her to stay. The audacity but he wasn't here to upset her more, so he sighed and opened his mouth."I am sorry," he uttered and his words even shocked his own self because he had never thought he was going to say this to a person, especially to an 18 years old teenager.She teared up more at his words."If I slap you, kick you, punch you for no reason and then say sorry to you, will you accept my sorry?" She asked, glaring at him. Interesting question which had almost made him laugh but he restrained himself by watching t
"So the deal is you have to become my wife," She spit the water on his chest and started coughing badly at his words."You…" he raised his palms to choke her neck because she had just wet his shirt but by watching her coughing, he started rubbing her back."I have finally gotten infected with your germs. You won't believe what I have just heard you saying," she spoke, taking deep breaths and then handed him the glass."I misheard like you said, you have to become my wife," she uttered, completely sure that she had misheard it because he could never say such things to her until."Because that's what I have said to you," he roared at her, widening her eyes."You have to become my wife for some hours in front of some people," She gazed at him like he was talking in a foreign language."You know what? Give this glass to me," she said, trying to take that glass from him but he didn't give it to her."And what are you going to do with it?""Breaking it in on your empty head," she seethed
"Now before blowing the candles, make a wish, Zia," Zia smiled at her mother hearing her words and nodded. She closed her eyes slowly and made her wish. After that she opened her lashes and the very first thing her gaze caught was those green orbs staring at her because its owner was standing in front of her. She gawked at him through the fire of those burning candles. "Now blow the candles…." Cia's voice made her shrug and then she blew the candles. Everyone started clapping and wishing her whereas she grinned at everyone except that one person. She did her best to avoid his entire presence as much as possible because his mere presence was making her remember what had just happened between them just a while ago and she didn't want to remember it, not even in her dreams again because that was a living nightmare for her. "Once again, happy birthday," Zale fed her the cake to which she smiled and returned the gesture. Zia fed the cake to her parents and grandpa and then extended it t
A knock on the door grabbed the ladies' attention who were present inside Zia's room. They turned their heads and saw Zale standing at the door. Cia passed him a smile before siding away because she knew he was there to see how beautiful his little princess was looking in that dress which they both had selected for their daughter's birthday party. Zale looked at his child and immediately his smile turned more wide by watching Zia. He walked towards her and Zia wrapped her arms around her dad. "This dress is so beautiful, dad. Thank you so much for this," Zia uttered, smiling. Zale took out her face and planted a gentle peck on her head. "It's looking beautiful because my Zia has worn it," Zia giggled hearing her father. "Well…you can also compliment the other ladies present inside this room too, boss," Violet said, who was also there along with Zia's best friend, Riley. Zale chuckled and complimented them and then fixed his eyes on the love of his life, his wife…his Cia…. Cia'
"Happy birthday, Zia….," She slowly unlatched her dark black lashes hearing her parents' voice. She adjusted her sleepy vision to the light of the morning and a big smile crept on her pouty rosy lips by watching those two favourite faces of her life.She got up from the bed and opened her arms wide for both of them. With a smile, Zale and Cia hugged their daughter and kissed both sides of her temple."Happy birthday, Zia. Many many returns of the day, my child…." Zale spoke, caressing her light brown hair. Her alluring light blue eyes gleamed up in happiness."Thank you so much, dad…." She again hugged her father. His smile widened as he caged her back. His daughter was his life and the ultimate source of his happiness."Did you already forget about your mamma, Dad's princess?" The father-daughter duo pulled back and chuckled by hearing Cia. Zia stepped closer to her mother and embraced her."How can I forget about this beautiful face of my mamma. It's my everything," Zia said and p
"Careful, Cia….. " Zale uttered while watching his 9 months old pregnant wife who was playing with that kid, Damien. They both were chasing behind a butterfly in the garden of his manor. She was taking her steps slowly while holding the hand of Damien. They both were giggling which made Zale chuckle too. That kid had grown really close to both of them, especially Cia in these past 9 months. Once in a week, he always came to visit Cia with his father or sometimes even with his both parents during his weekend days. The Karlson family had also developed a very close relationship with Cia and Zale because of their elder son growing fondling towards Cia, Zale and their coming baby. "Oh… . No… it flew away… " The kid, Damien whined, watching that butterfly fly away from the flower. Cia chuckled at his tiny pout."We were not supposed to catch it, Damien," she caressed the boy's head who was pouting in anger."Because if we would have caught it then it might have turned very sad because it
"Damien Karlson," the little boy replied. Both Cia and Zale smiled at him. That boy had beautiful honey tanned skin and jet black hair. His eyes had the lightest shade of green which were twinkling like stars every time he smiled through his pearly white teeth. "Beautiful name and how old are you?" Cia asked, stroking his soft cheeks. The boy beamed in Zale's arms and answered. "I am five," "You didn't get hurt somewhere, did you?" Zale asked the boy in concern because that kid fell with a slight force and it was evident in that thudding sound of his falling. "No. I am fine, sir, " the boy shrugged his head while looking at Zale. "I am a brave boy. I don't cry," Zale chuckled at that kid's answer. Indeed that little being seemed brave. He patted his head. He didn't get very well with kids but this kid appeared to be different and he liked it. "Damien…" that voice grabbed the couple's attention and they saw Mr Karlson approaching them. "What are you doing here, Damien? Your mo
Soft and gentle blow of air was grazing against her face, making her golden strands of hair bounce in happiness. A small smile was playing over her lips as her azure eyes were staring at the beautiful horizon through her window. She closed her lashes and inhaled the fresh breeze of the evening which jolted her heart in content. She was enjoying the alluring sunset when she felt those arms wrapping around her waist from behind."I love you…." That raspily husky voice whispered in her ear and pecked below her ear tenderly. Her heart tingled, hearing that voice and feeling that touch. She wrapped her arms over his and leaned against his warm chest."I love you more," Her answer brought a beam to his face. He pecked her temple and embraced her more firmly. "So how was your day at work, Mr Alcazar?" She asked him, staring at the sky which had worn an enchanting shade of orange and slightly yellow. "Well…I attended some meetings, signed some papers, scolded some of my employees and miss
"Erya…?" Zale uttered, bewildered, by watching her there but he felt relaxed too as he thought she had come there to rescue them. She had come there with his men so that they could help them in standing against Blake's men but his relaxation turned into confusion when he felt Cia tightening her hold around his palm.He tilted his head and found her glaring at Erya with her glossy eyes. His brows wiggled in untidiness until he heard those words coming out from her mouth."Stay away from him, Erya…don't you dare to hurt him," Zale's eyes widened, hearing Cia. He couldn't understand what was happening there. Why would Erya want to hurt him when she had stood by him always? She worked for him then what exactly was wrong there?Cia gritted her teeth at Erya who was silently peering at both of them until now and then her gaze trailed towards Blake's lifeless body which made her fist her palms."So you succeeded in killing him,"Erya finally opened her mouth. Zale tossed his head to look at
Zale got back his consciousness which made him slowly unlatch his lashes. He opened his eyes and his gaze met with nothing except darkness. He blinked and tried to move but that was where a sharp pain engulfed almost each and every part of his body, especially his head and arm. He growled in pain and attempted to clutch his head but a sound of iron chains rustling echoed in that darkness, making him aware that his arms were tied with them so that he couldn't move. Clenching his jaw, Zale started wiggling in those chains aggressively when suddenly a dim light shot open, penetrating that voracious darkness. "So my dear cousin is finally awake,"That voice made Zale snap his head upward and his bloodshot eyes filled with a rapacious deadliness by watching the owner of that voice who stepped inside through the door.A cunning smirk was playing on Blake's face as he approached Zale whose wrists and legs were chained and the iron chains were attached to the walls. "I was waiting for you
"Drop your gun, Blake Alcazar….," That rapaciously cavernous voice roared, making Blake grit his teeth. After he and Ashton attacked Zale's main warehouse together, he found out that it was a trap to catch him in it. Zale and his guards were already aware of his attack and they were already prepared about it and not only this, Ashton and his men were playing with him too as they were all involved in Zale's plan of trapping him and betrayed him flawlessly. Zale, Ashton and their men guarded Blake and his men completely as they were more in number. "The game is over now, my dear cousin," Zale's predatory gaze met with Blake's furious ones for the first time in half a decade. Both the men were standing in front of each other after almost 5 years. The last encounter they had with each other was at one of the hideouts of Blake's where Zale invaded his territory and killed each and every man of his there on spot because he got the information that Blake was planning on attacking him and
