33

After eating, i had a little conversation with Deborah before retiring to my room.

As soon as i opened her door to leave, i saw a figure run past me.

"What the fuck was that?" I asked no one in particular.

I quickly ran upstairs to my room.
I locked the door behind me as soon as i got in, but was shocked with the sight that beheld me.

What just happened here? Why are all my clothes scattered? My wardrobe was also wide open with all my clothes hanged removed from it.

I think someone is here to steal something, but who could that be?.

I arranged everything back to where there were before going downstairs to talk to Deborah.

While walking downstairs, i met with that creepy guard who got recruited today.

I really don't know how to say this but he looks really bad. His face is twisted like those demons in movies.

I quickly left when i realized that i was staring too much.

I got to Deborah's room and placed a knock on her door but there was no reply.

I guess she's asleep. Now i have to go back to my room.

While heading back to my room, i cane to where the new guard was. But he was no longer there.

Now I'm creeping out, what's wrong with him?. Well that's non of my business. I walked back to my room to take a nap, as i have nothing to do.

I was already very close to my room, when a ruffling noise from the room close to mine made my stop on my track.

I went close to the door and placed my ear to hear what was happening inside but was disappointed as i couldn't hear the sound anymore.

I stood there for a while to know if i was gonna hear the sound again but there was none.

I turned back only to see that creepy guard back on his position.

I really wanna scream but i don't know how to do that without disrupting the peaceful atmosphere in the mansion.

I sluggishly walked to my room when i couldn't think of anything.
I could only picture myself in my bed.


Writer's POV

Nickolas was sited on a golden chair with a phone in his hands.

A maid walked up to him holding something in a white handkerchief and handed it over to him.

"Where is he?" He asked.

"He's outside, waiting for you" she bowed.

"Bring him in" he commanded.

"Yes Alpha king" he scurried out to avoid being penalized by the Alpha.

She got to the hall where Jake was standing and invited him in.

"The Alpha king wishes to see you" she said waiting for him to go with her.

They finally got to where he was and the maid left.

"Was this the only thing you could get?" he asked furiously.

"Yes Alpha king, i couldn't get more because i was been stalked by a girl in his mansion" Jake defended.

"And who is that girl that kept stalking you?"

"She's the one next to Nathan's heart"

"How did you know that?"

"She was the reason why he employed me"

"How close is she to him? I'm thinking we would be changing our plan anytime soon".

"As I've heard he wanna make her his woman but she refused".

"Why don't we take that to our advantage. We can make her do this job for us"

"I don't think she would work. She also have feeling for him too".

"How beautiful is the lady"

"So beautiful that she can melt the heart of a lion and make the devil an Angel".

"hmm, With everything you've said i think she's my kind of woman" he smiled for a while and soon he was frowning.

"I need those documents before the day after tomorrow" he warned.

"Yes Alpha king. I'll do my best"

"Don't do your best just get me the documents" he growled.

"Yes Alpha king" Jake trembled and quickly stepped out.

"They are just bunch of fools. You can't bring me just a document. A simple task you can't even perform".

He picked up his pipe and inserted it into his mouth bringing out smoke.

"Just what i need to calm my nerves down" he smiled to himself.


Vanessa's POV

I woke up early in the evening and decided to go for a walk in the garden.

That has been the only place i find cool with the beautiful flowers and butterflies.

That always made me remember my childhood day where i would go out with Alex to the garden to catch butterflies.
Alex has always gotten more butterflies than me and that alone would make me sad for the end of the day.

He always made me believe that butterflies always let good people catch them and whenever I'm unable to get any, he would say i have a bad mind.

Those memories would always remain with me.

And now i wish i could go back to being a child without problems.


I stood there watching the butterflies as they perch on the flowers.

"I never knew you also loved the garden like i do" i heard a voice from behind me.

"Yes i do" i answered without turning. Well i don't need anyone to tell that was Nathan.

I started feeling nervous all of a sudden.

He walked closer to me. I could practically feel his minty breath on my neck.

"Are you still mad at me?"

"For what?"

"Stop acting like you don't know what I'm talking about".

"Well i don't know. Do you mind explaining better"

"About what happened yesterday between me and Isabella"

"That has nothing to do with me".

"But i know you're mad at me"

"I'm not, beside it's your life and not mine"

"with what you just said right now, i know you're mad" he came to my front.

"I'm not stupid. I know your mad at me, but I'm so sorry. I never really knew what i was doing. I was so mad and then she came to me. I wasn't the one who called her in".

"Why are you telling me all these?"

"I just want you to know. When she came, she asked to have sex with her, i refused. But she kept forcing me and i couldn't control myself anymore, i... i.... fell for it"

"So what do you want me to do?"

"Forgive me and let's go back to the way we were before".

"Did anything change? I mean we're still close. Ain't we?"

"Not like then"

"How were we then?"

"We'd laugh and share things but now you're avoiding me like a plague"

"I'm not".

"You are and I'm hurting inside. Please forgive me"

Just then i remembered the bet i had with Isabella and this is the right time to show her who i really am.

"Okay, you're forgiven". He immediately broke into a wide smile.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you" he kept chanting like a kid who was given a candy.
