WORRIED
LEO'S POV
When I got to the meeting venue, everyone had arrived and were siting waiting patiently for my arrival. They all stood up immediately they saw me and remained standing until I sat comfortably on the chair. The meeting began and some of top member complained on how there drug trafficking business were crashing and other members complained about one thing or the other. By the end of the meeting, I found out that some of our most trusted members were betraying us, which was the cause for the recently attack we had, but I didn't let them know because I wanted to handle the case myself. I also let them know about my plans to begin training with the young upcoming members, they were all startled immediately I broke the news and I didn't explain any further. The abstruse meeting came to an end and I left, ignoring anyone that wanted to speak to me privately. On getting home, I felt so relieved and maybe excited, I hoped on seeing Clara this time around. When I got to the living room, I walked slowly to the stairs like I had boil in my legs, trying to take glances at the kitchen to know if I might see Clara but I couldn't because my guard was walking behind me.
" What is this on the floor?" I shouted, looking at my guard to see his reaction.I wouldn't have bothered since it wasn't in my room, but it was just to make a scene for the maids to come out hopefully Clara would be among them. They rushed out immediately and apologized. The Renata girl stood by the kitchen door and began to smile at me which seemed absurd, I gave her a deadly frown and walked to my room disappointed that Clara wasn't among them.
I was restless even after getting to my room, if only there was something I could do make her come to my room even if it meant that all the maids were also going to be here. " Exactly! I should order for a massage, She is surely going to come" I felt so ashamed of myself for all this things I was doing but I couldn't help it. The maids came to my room without wasting time, it was like they had be waiting patiently for my call. They were about five that came, including Renata but Clara wasn't among them. "Where is my maid? "I asked them, but they kept on looking at down without any response, then I asked again harshly but they still didn't talk. For so minutes I thought they must have done something to her which made me lose control, I went to over to Renata and raised up at face roughly, for her to look at in the eye, but she couldn't .
"For the last time, where is my maid?" I was squeezing her chin out of anger which was hurting her but she still refused to talk, instead she began to cry which made me so disgusted. Pulling her by her hair, I dragged Renata out of my room for her to keep on crying, for all I care she was able to cry outside but not it my room. After sending the rest of them out of my room, I sat on my bed, angry with myself for reacting this way because of Clara, a girl that hates me completely."She is not even worth it" I thought and lay on the bed, trying not to think about her. I was about to doze off but hadn't had my bath which was necessary. It had just clocked eight and by now outside was dark and the moon shown brightly in the sky with the stars around. I walked to the window and opened it to take a clearer view of the stars, sometimes it usually feel like the stars performs some magic on me because any I look at the stars, my heart and body would feel so calm. From my tender age as kids, mum said I had always loved too look at the stars and I still did till now because it makes me relieved any time I was worried. I stood by the window for about an hour until the night cold began to blow harshly like it was about to rain. After closing the window, I headed to the bathroom to have my bath with warm water. It was as if I heard a knock on my door while I was still in the bathroom but there was nothing I could, whoever it was the person had to wait. The knock had stopped by the time I came out from the bathroom, so I just changed to my pyjamas and hit to bed to sleep.
"It must have been the maids that brought my dinner, well I wasn't hungry so I just hoped they don't come back while I was already asleep. One hour had pass and I was still awake, turning restlessly on my bed. It was so bad to the extent that my body was beginning to ache. I sat uprightly, resting my head on my pillow and I brought out Clara' diary to read. " Psycho, no matter how you hope not everyone in your class would get scholarships" I said out loud and a smiled curled on my face, because I was reading a part where she said she hope and know that she and her classmate will get the scholarship. I also laughed again, when I saw a place she talked about off her classmate in school asked her out with a ring made out of paper and she collected the ring but rejected the offer to be his girlfriend. "That's sweet " I put down the book immediately, startled at what I said because I never say such words. Thanks to Clara's diary, I felt much more better and also sleepy. It hadn't been up to fifteen minutes when there was a light knock on my door but it was capable waking me up from my deepest sleep as I was a light sleeper and woke up at any slight noise. I groaned angry and decided not to respond. "When ever the person was done knocking he or she will leave, I need some moment of peace in my life" I said through to my teeth as I was very sleepy.The person kept on knocking which was starting to bug me making me wonder who the stupid person was. "It shouldn't be one of this maid else maid because I will strangle her to death" I buried my face in the pillow as I lazily tried to stand of from my bed, while I tried to gather some strength to finally go and open the door myself. The knock had finally stopped, the person must has given up .
