Chapter 20

After everything had been done, Gealic rushed back inside the dressing room to find a way to leave as soon as possible but Mrs Rachel wouldn't stop following her around and she was almost pissed off.

“Am going to the restroom,” Gealic said as shook up quickly to leave but immediately felt the woman's presence which she almost didn't find funny at all. She couldn't help wondering if she was playing a joke on her.

If it were her decision alone, she would have removed the lady from being her assistant or maid… She was able to see through her that if she were to be staying longer she wouldn't hesitate to have her replaced. But too bad, she wouldn't be staying longer, rather she would be leaving any moment from now.

“And where are you going, Mrs Rachel?” Gaelic asked as she turned around with her hands folded under her chest while giving the woman a stare that could put someone in an extremely tough spot.

“Oh, Miss, I am doing my work by following you,” She responded while trying to hide the fact that she was trying to be professional and was doing her work.

“Is this a joke, huh?”

“You're trying to do your work by following me to the restroom? Can you hear yourself, Mrs Rachel?” Gaelic asked, staring at the woman who seemed to be finding the right word to say in response.

“I have been thoroughly informed not to leave your sight. In case you lose your way and find it hard to find your way back, I'll be able to guide you though, miss,” Mrs Rachel said briefly.

“Am not comfortable with you following me to the restroom, wait for me, I'll be back shortly!” Gaelic said in a stern tone as she turned around to leave but almost immediately the woman followed behind without backing down.

Gaelic clenched her fist underneath feeling angry that she almost lost her cool but after breathing in and out, she was able to get through herself.

“Didn't you hear what I said? I said, "I am not comfortable with you following me to the restroom. You should wait for me, isn't that clear enough?” Gaelic asked while suppressing the anger igniting in her heart.

“I heard you Miss, but it's my work, and am getting paid, I have to do work am getting paid for, Miss,”

“Please stop making it hard for me, Miss,” Mrs Rachel said.

“Oh, am I making it hard for you? How? When?” Gaelic asked with a demanding gaze but the woman couldn't find any response to say.

“You know what, I ain't going to waste my time on you anymore, let's go back to the mansion,” Gealic said, and instantly changed her mind from going to the restroom.

She would try to find other means when she gets to the mansion instead of wasting her time and energy on that cunning woman. At that moment Gaelic couldn't help but want that ripped off the expression on her face.

Gaelic sighed helplessly, she had just finished cooking dinner just like the man had said, and she would be the one handling anything that had to do with the kitchen, she couldn't help wondering if the man was kidding her but she needed to freshen up so that she immediately waved the thoughts aside.

Minutes passed, and Gaelic tightened the bathrobe around her body before walking towards the window side checking the guard's movement.

She has been studying their movement for quite some time and couldn't help studying more. She has decided to leave at midnight, probably when everyone has gone to sleep.

Gaelic knew the man didn't come home every day, she knew he wouldn't come back which would help her plans go smoothly.

Suddenly, there was a hurried knock on the door.

Gaelic frowned upon hearing the knock; she couldn't help wondering who dared to disturb her at that time of the day. She was frustrated but what could she do? She's an imposter and doesn't have any right to make decisions in someone else's place.

The knock continued but it was louder this time around. Gaelic guessed the person must have knocked loudly when no movement was heard.

Gaelic pursed her lips before arranging back the window to how it was before that no one could suspect she had just stood over there earlier before walking towards the door.

‘Click’

As soon as the door was unlocked before Gaelic could push the door open, the person outside had already done the deed for her by pushing it open. And before the door could bump in her face, she retreated a few steps back only to have her feet entangled with the plush carpet.

She closed her eyes and braced herself to accept the ugly fall as she couldn't help herself but the unexpected pain didn't come. Rather she felt a huge hand wrapping around her tiny waist while a palm supported the back of her head.

This has always occurred in her dreams, she has always had countless dreams of an unseen man doing something like that for her to prevent her from failing.

Gaelic has always believed the man was her husband Ethan then, and at the same time, she couldn't help but think Ethan had finally realized his mistake and couldn't bear to leave her and decided to come back for her.

Those were the thoughts ringing inside her brain with her eyes closed, she was endlessly blushing just with the thought that he had come back for her. Even though he has hurt her feelings, she wouldn't let go since he came back for her.

She knew it. Ethan has always loved and cherished her, there isn't a way he would decide to leave her alone.

Gaelic let out a sigh of relief as she muttered a “Thank …” before opening her eyes.

The moment Gaelic saw the person in front of her was different from the person she hoped for, she staggered that the person supporting her staggered that both of them ended up failing with Lennox on top of her.

“Ah…” She screamed out with pain and disappointment on her face. The disappointment was written so boldly on her face that she couldn't even hide it at that moment.

She must have gone crazy to think he would look for her to the extent of coming over to someone else's mansion.

She has always been stupid, she could see the reason why she has always been taken for granted and used by her loved ones.

Lennox glared at the woman underneath him who had just made a sound that went straight inside his head. The sound somehow wakes every demon inside him.

Gaelic waved aside the thought of Ethan at that moment and decided to stay focused on the one on top of her. She stared blankly at the man for a moment, she couldn't help wondering if he missed his way.

“You’re drunk. Are you okay?” Gaelic asked with concern. She could see his face was flushed and his gaze wasn't steady like usual.

Comparing his face to when they had breakfast together the difference was much clearer that one could easily see the difference.

He blinked twice like a baby. “I ... .am not.”

Gaelic has read it somewhere that men do not like admitting that they're drunk, they find it hard to always say yes when they're being asked rather they would say they are not even when they don't know what they are doing at that moment.

“Oh really…. I can see you're not drunk,” Gealic scoffed as she raised her index finger to the man's face.

“How many fingers is this?” She asked on the verge of laughing out of her lungs, she suddenly found the man whom she had earlier found cold-hearted and dangerous, she suddenly thought he was cute.

“Damn! Woman easily change their minds,”

The man tried staying focused but he couldn't as his eyes kept wandering around the lady underneath him. His eyes were fixed thoroughly on her lips.

Lennox couldn't help wondering what was wrong with him, he knew the woman had always used thousands of ways to seduce him just to have a child with him but she had never for once woken up his monster but the person under him had woken up his monster even without trying.

“Could it be another form of scheme?” He wondered but he just couldn't bring himself to get the thought away.

The man only focused on the movement of the lips that were moving up and down.

“You can't do this!”

“She's your wife! Why can't you!”

“You want her!”

“Get her!”

The battle of suppressing his emotions and feelings at that moment, unfortunately, didn't work as he found it hard to control them. The man's desire to devour the woman at that moment has reached its climax that he couldn't stop any longer.

The man didn't know when his lips found their way to hers, the moment it touched her, she became so stiff that he immediately felt it but that didn't stop him from devouring her lips the way he wanted and eventually she opened up unknowingly.

“It wouldn't hurt to have a nice time before leaving,” Gealic thought, Afterall she didn't know kissing could feel good to the extent of wanting more despite the fact was once married.
