Chapter 13
Jacqueline gulped as her eyes fell on his lips that were close to hers and she had to crane her neck to meet his gaze.
It felt like she progressed from bad to worse with him, she had been embarrassed about the incident that had taken place in the pool and here Alexander was now, placing her in a more precarious position. Alexander was close, way too close that she wasn't thinking straight anymore.
"You can't have me, I'm not yours to begin with" Jacqueline replied fiercely as his temporal charm seemed to have worn off and she was back to her senses.
Alexander chuckled deeply as he retracted his hands from the sides of her head and he tucked his hands in his pocket as he stared at her with intrigue.
"Remind me, whose house are you in?" He asked as his perfectly carved eyebrows tipped up.
"Yours" Jacqueline replied and it took everything within her to not roll her eyes.
"And then again, whose orders do you follow?" He asked.
Jacqueline badly wanted to blurt out 'Chain' to his face but then that would make her end up bound in chains for her high level of stupidity.
"Yours" Jacqueline mumbled but it was loud enough for Alexander to hear.
"Doesn't this mean you belong to me Jacqueline? After all, you are my personal maid" he said while emphasizing on the 'my' making Jacqueline's insides twist.
"Yes but I'm only here for work related purposes" Jacqueline said and she shrank backwards as he continued to stare at her. If it were possible, she would have entered the wall.
"Of course, what other purposes did you think I had in mind aside from doing your duty as a maid?" He teased, leaving Jacqueline tongue-tied.
He was right, what had she been thinking? She almost banged her head on the wall in frustration. She wished he would just leave her alone instead of frustrating her.
"I.. nothing" Jacqueline sighed. "Please leave now, I'm very exhausted" Jacqueline said which was the simple truth.
This man had exhausted her with his tactics and now she just needed some sleep to place her mental health in shape.
Alexander smirked as he stared at her and Jacqueline clung on the towel around her body as if she knew he had plans of tugging it away from her.
"How about we go for a little checkup tomorrow, wouldn't you love that?" He asked as he leaned closer to her.
Jacqueline gulped, this devil, he was so hellbent on torturing her.
"Thank you but I'm fine now, granny Penelope has nursed me back to health" Jacqueline quickly said.
"I insist, have a goodnight Jacqueline" Alexander said before leaving her room completely.
Jacqueline quickly locked the door with the key, just to make sure he won't be able to come back even if he wanted to.
Jacqueline fell on the bed in frustration, the hell!!? Why couldn't he just forget about it or better still, just leave her alone. She groaned in frustration as she was torn between telling him the truth or going for the checkup. If she told the truth then she might make her lose her job but then wasn't going to the hospital with him even worse? All roads lead to hell!!
Although Alexander had wished her goodnight, she knew he had known she would have a terrible night as she kept turning restlessly on the bed.
………..
The next morning, Jacqueline combed her long black hair in front of the mirror as she tried to compose herself. It felt like she was standing on a ticking time bomb. She wondered what Alexander would do if he found out she had been faking, would he really fire her?
Jacqueline sighed as she began brushing her hair which reached her ass. Her black and white maid uniform was clean and free from wrinkles, it stopped inches above her knee.
She dropped the comb on the table and she wore her black flats before leaving the room. She met Penelope in the kitchen making breakfast.
"Good morning" Jacqueline beamed as she back hugged her and Penelope gasped in shock making Jacqueline quickly break the hug and she shifted backwards.
"I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me" Jacqueline rushed her words and she bowed her head repeatedly making Penelope laugh.
"Oh Jacqueline, it's fine, I was just a bit startled," Penelope said as she placed her hand on Jacqueline's shoulder in a comforting manner. "You look a lot better" She pointed out with a smile on her face.
"It's all thanks to you but for some odd reason, Alexander wants to take me to the hospital for checkup" Jacqueline pursed her lips. She constructed the saddest expression she could think of, she wanted Penelope to talk Alexander out of the horrible idea.
"I think that's good news, that way, we can know what's making you sick and give you the best treatment" Penelope said and Jacqueline's face instantly morphed into one filled with dread.
"Granny, I'm fine, I don't want to go to the hospital" Jacqueline said and she was ready to cry if that was what it took for Penelope to help her out.
"Help me stir this chicken sauce dear, I need to use the restroom" Penelope said and she handed her the spoon before leaving the kitchen.
Jacqueline pursed her lips as she stirred the sauce, she was at the verge of losing her life and there was seriously nothing she could do about it. She continued stirring the sauce and when she was sure it was cooked enough, she switched off the cooker.
Jacqueline turned to leave but her head bumped into a hard surface, she took a step backward and her eyes widened when she saw a tall handsome figure with blood red hair glaring at her.
She recognized him from the Dynasty club and with the way he glared at her, Jacqueline feared he might have recognized her too.
