Heart Stealer

Chapter fifty-two
Jayde
I don't know why he's so angry. At least he knows this marriage is one of convenience. I wonder why he cares if I mention Declan or not.
But is Declan my kind of man? I don't even know my kind of man.
I like the fact that I was able to send him out of here. I don't want anything to happen between us especially since I will be leaving soon.
I'm not even his Hattie.
I get dressed in a black t-shirt and pink trousers. The knock on the door jerks me out of my thought. Is that Henry?
Well, Henry will never knock on my door.
"Yes, enter."
I look up and watch the door open. Regina walks in with a tray of food.
"Good morning," she says.
"Good morning," I reply and watch her place it on the dresser before walking away.
Why haven't I got a call from Everett? He's supposed to call me and give me what I had requested from him.
If I don't return it home, mom will discover the lies I have been telling her.
But I don't want to stop yet, I want Hattie to wake up before I quit. If I quit now, I will only be putting myself in danger. What if people see me and think I'm Hattie.
Ever since the day I've left this house, I've been keeping myself secured with the use of a face mask. I've never been free.
Do I want to try that again? Definitely no.
I take the tray and delve into my chicken fried steak.
My phone rings suddenly, terrifying me for a second. I pick it up and it's an unknown number.
"Hello?"
"Hello dear, this is Mr. Everett."
"Oh," I gently place the food on the bed beside me, " Hi, good morning. I've been expecting your call."
"Yes, I was quite busy. Are you free to come over now?"
I smile, " Soon, I'm eating currently. I will be there. But what's the address?"
" I will text you," he finishes and hangs up.
I smile and hurry up with my food.
After I was done, I take my bag and wear a slipper. I walk out of my room and quickly think of bidding Henry goodbye. It wouldn't be good if I leave like I did that day.
I walk to his door and knock slightly. No one answered so I decides to open the door and peep in.
"Are you about to steal something for me?" A voice says behind me.
I jerk up, frightened. I look back at Henry, "You nearly knocked me down with a feather."
Henry smiles and sips whatever he's in the cup he's holding, " I was planning on doing that," he looks all over me, "Are you going somewhere?"
I nod briefly, "I need to see my father," I tell him, "And I wanted to say goodbye to you."
" I see. I'm jealous," he says and walks inside.
I follow after him even though I see no reason why I should.
" Is something wrong?"
He goes to sit, "you are free to move out of the house and go see your father but I'm not even allowed to do that," he confessed, his eyes on me. His eyes seem pure and I can not help but believe him.
But why is that so? Why will he be denied such? I mean it doesn't even make any sense.
"And now, I will be left home alone," he pouts and sips more of the content in the cup.
I stare at him for a while, feeling pity. I mean he can't be playing with the maids or can he? It doesn't even make any sense.
"How about you come with me?"
He suddenly brightens up, a nice smile curving upon his face, " That will be great!" He whoops with delight, making me laugh.
He's so funny
I watch him walk inside the closet. He looks like a kid that wanted to go out with his mother and got accepted.
Minutes later, he walks out in black jeans and a white t-shirt, and sports shoes. He looks so hot.
He moves to me, "Allow me to be the gentleman," he stretches his hands to me.
I laugh and accept it.
He walks me out of the room. I look up at him, at how tall he is. He topped me with three inches.
Damn! I'm short!
We drove in his car. Henry offered to be the one to drive us.
Within minutes, we arrived at the company. It's a big company. No wonder Hattie was allowed to marry Henry.
These two look so compatible. It's rich plus rich.
I wonder what their children will be.
"Why did you sigh?" Henry says beside me.
I look at him. I didn't even know I sighed, "Nothing, I just had some thoughts. I will leave now!"
I open the door but Henry pulls me back. He stares at me for a while and suddenly moves his head towards me.
