Chapter 16
CALISTA RAYMONDS
I stretch my body and yawn , I don’t know what time it is but I know I woke up late. I opened my eyes and noticed I wasn’t in my room.
Flashing back to last night, I remembered to have falling asleep watching Chase.
I couldn’t deny the feeling I feel from last night while watching him sleep. His cute face and his handsomeness is something no one can resist.
Not for too long.
But who could’ve thought that the Mafia Chase gets worked up because of a girl?
I don’t know the full story about his past relationship but I could already tell that he must’ve loved his dead girlfriend a lot to not get over her too easily.
And it must’ve hurt him more than it should be that he didn’t find her killers.
Whatever that happened…Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
I think Chase have to let go of the grudge, even if he can avenge her death, there’s no way he can achieve that if he hates himself.
I stood up from the bed, Chase wasn’t in the room and there’s no sign that shows he might be around.
Waking up to see myself on his bed, I couldn’t remember climbing onto the bed last night. I only know I was sitting on a chair and then I fall asleep.
I made my way out of the room and closed the door behind me. About to head to the room , I meet a maid and I stopped her.
“Sorry, have you seen Chase this morning?” I ask her.
“Yes ma’am, he’s out” she said and I nodded.
“I came to ask what you’ll like for breakfast?” I raised my brows and stare at her, surprised.
“Sorry?”
I said and she looked at me, looking confused too.
“Oh.. I’m sorry, but didn’t Madam Therason write what’s for breakfast?” I asked.
“She did and the chefs are already working on it but boss said we should ask you what you want to eat when you wake up” She explained and then I just nodded.
“Uhm… I don’t know, I’ll just have my bath and come over to the kitchen first”
She bowed and walked away.
I couldn’t hide the confusing from my face. I got confused about my reason of being here. Everything started becoming suspicious to me.
From having roommates to having my own room and then, from having to make foods for Chase to now being asked what I wish to eat.
I sigh and walk into my room, my body is kind of feeling weak to me so I decided to take a warm water bath.
After taking my bath, I brushed my teeth and put on my cloth. My closet is filled with clothes of all type.
I walked into the kitchen and the maid from early was right, the chefs where in the kitchen and making breakfast.
They’re prepared five different dishes while the maids carries them out.
“Good Morning” I greeted them when I stepped in.
“Good morning ma’am” they all greeted.
“Sorry, My name is Calista” I said to them not liking how they addressed me as ma’am.
Some of them are much older than me and it’d be disrespectful to let an elderly person call me ma’am.
I tried to offer them a helping hand to finish up the cooking but they all refuse saying they’d get fired if I’m seen in the kitchen with them.
According to one of the chef whose name is Martha, who seems to be the nicest one.
“Please ma’am, take whatever you what to take here , Boss will get us all fired if he’s to find you here”
I didn’t want to cause them any problem on their work so I heed back inside, a maid rush up to be and stopped me.
“Boss called for your presence in his library” she said.
“Chase?” I raised my brows and she nodded.
I didn’t hear the sound of the cars drove in or the bell rang that was supposed to announce his presence.
And did the maid just said he’s calling for me?
“When did he came back?” I asked nervously biting my lower lips.
“Just now. Do you know his library or you need help finding it?”
I replied her I didn’t know much place around the building and so she offered to help me.
She stopped outside a door and told me to input the password I was given then she backed me, more like preventing herself from seeing what I’m to press.
“Password?” I muttered to myself. The only passcode I could recall having is the one of Chase’s room.
Without wasting much time, I inputted the passcode and the door opened. The maid bowed down and walked away.
I stepped into the library and was taken aback, I didn’t ever think their would be a library in such a house. It was filled with books neatly arranged.
Not wanting to get too drawn to excitement, I swallowed nervously and heed inside the library.
I sighted Chase standing before the fireplace and backing the entrance of the library.
I felt my hand heating up as I walk to him nervously. I stopped when I was just some feet’s away from him.
“You sent for me sir” I said not looking up at him.
For the next six seconds, there was silence and then he turned to me.
I couldn’t resist the urge to look up at him and as usual, I saw myself drowning helplessly for his handsomeness.
He is a complete and total definition of an angel, a Greek God and I wondered how many of them are still out there.
“What happened last night?” I heard him ask and then I looked down immediately.
His deep voice will make one piss on themselves. Nervously, I stared at my feet not knowing what to say.
“I won’t like to repeat my self… What happened last night!!” This time, it seems like he was about to yell but is pushing his self back not to.
“I ….. Don’t know sir! I .. I.. just saw you breaking stuffs in your room , that’s all. I’m sorry” I immediately said as I don’t know the best way to say it.
He isn’t drunk yesterday and I’m pretty sure that he can still tell what happened last night so why does he have to ask me.
“Whatever you see last night…. If I hear you tell anyone about it, I’ll make sure you don’t see the light of the next day”. He said strictly.
“Huh?” I find myself squeezing myself before I could stop myself.
And despite the face that I’m scared of the threat, I was pretty mad at him.
“Ain’t you so ungrateful?” I asked him looking up at him directly to his eyes.
What if I wasn’t the one that saw him last night but a maid? She could have went round the building telling the other maid about Chase.
But I saved his butt and all he have to say is that he’ll kill me?
He still have a bandage around his palm but a new one different from the one I placed yesterday.
“Don’t you dare talk back to me!”
“I’m not talking back at you but you are ungrateful!! You almost hurt me yesterday with the glasses you were breaking ! And you hurt yourself too!” I said pointing at his palm which he looked at.
“I have to make sure I calm you do despite the fact that you’re a rude brat! I dressed your wound and all you’ve to say thank you is to threaten me? And so, what if I tell people how weak their Chase is? What can you do….?” I smirked.
I didn’t know why I’m saying alot but I’m so pissed off at him right now.
I was taken aback when Chase grab me by my neck and pin me to the wall.
“If you dare….” His face was already so red and boiling in rage and I feel so scared.
He suddenly let go of me and I fall on the ground almost choking. He seem to regret his action immediately as he scattered his hair and sighs.
He made to walk out of the library but stopped and turned to me.
“You’re mine, Your life and everything about you is my hand and no one can save you. You belong to me and I can do whatever I want with you”
With that, he walk away and shut the door. Still on the floor, I felt tears clouding up in my eyes.
He’s a bad boy! I shouldn’t have talk back to him, he is right. If he wanted to kill me right away, he can do that and no law will question him.
Finally, the tears fall on my cheeks. Not because I was scared of him, but because I can’t imagine how much longer I have to continue living under the same roof with a monster.
I shouldn’t have even entered his room last night. I guess from now, he’s just showing me the dark side of him.
“How much longer until I’m out of this disaster?”
And then, an idea pumped into my brain. There, I said to myself that I’m going to do it… I’m going to do that one thing Sophia told me not to.
…. Attempted escape” and that’s the only way I can get out of the mess.
I stood up from the floor and dust myself then walk out of the library.
