She walked to him silently, not daring to say a word, and stood by the side, with her head lowered…
” Welcome back, Master” It felt weird for her but she was left with no other choice…
“sit” his voice was cold. She quickly takes the seat on his left.
“Mr. Chin is the Butler, go to him if you need anything” She nods a yes. The room went completely silent, she just stood there staring at the empty plate before her… He was so busy with his phone that he didn’t realize she wasn’t eating…
“why are you not eating?” she swallows her accumulated spit in her mouth…
“y-you haven’t… ordered… me” she stutters causing him to stare at her in complete shock but he was quick to wipe it off…
“Go on and eat” by his command, she moves and starts serving herself… She didn’t get to enjoy the food when a man walked in and whispered something to him…
“Leave now to your room” his deep baritone voice vibrates sending chills down her spine… there was something wrong with how he spoke. Without delay, she climbs up the stairs to her room… silently crying because she didn’t get to eat her food and she could hear her stomach grumbling…
Frustration and sadness were writing all over her face, as she stumbled into her room in anger…
“How can he just tell me to leave without any reason? Is this part of my punishment for having damaged his car?”… not long after, a knock came on the door before opening… the butler walked in with a tray of food…
“for you” She watched him place the food on the small glass table… she was surprised he brought her food, she was happy he did…
“Guess he isn’t all that bad” She starts digging into the food like a hungry dog that has been starved for days…
“What are you doing here?” Keane’s deep baritone voice vibrates in the room, void of emotion…
“what now? can’t I visit my son any time I please?” the man walks in, and takes a seat ignoring his deadly gaze. He was none other than Mr. Austin, Keane’s dad…
“you can’t just barge in without any notice” Keane wasn’t happy with his sudden visit but there was nothing he could do, the deeds had been done…
“you just won’t change..” Mr. Austin sighed tirelessly… would there ever come a time this son of his would be nice to him? even just a little bit… there was just something he knew he would never understand…
“Why are you here?” Keane had no time to waste as he gazed at his father impatiently…
“At least, a glass of wine will do for a welcome” Mr. Austin knew this ice-cold son of his had no intentions of entertaining him… Keane stares at him with no words left, his dad has always been a pushy one. Always wanting to create a room where it was impossible to… With a wave of his hands, A middle-aged lady walks in with a tray of expensive liquor and a wine glass…
“you’ve got what you want, now is my turn” If not for the fact that he was his dad, he would have thrown him out without batting an eye…
“Always so impatient” Mr. Austin pours on his glass and sips it with a carefree smile on his lips…
” Are you expecting to see someone other than me?” Keane crosses his arms and stares at him with a serious yet displeased look…
“Are you hiding her from me? your dad?” Mr. Austin asked instead of answering. How could he have forgotten that this dad of his has a way of digging into people’s lives without permission? nothing was more aching than hearing him ask about his personal life…
“That’s none of your business” His voice was loud and harsh. The last thing he wants is to get interrogated by him…Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“right… your old man wants to see you,” Mr. Austin informs. Knowing how dangerous his son can be when angered…
“What for?” he blurts out… Mr. Austin stood up from his seat and finished his drink.
“When you get there, you will know” He walks out not bothering to explain any further… that’s so much like his dad, always leaving him in suspense and he hates it…
“make sure he never gets an inch close to her,” He said sternly to the man behind him…
Smiles were just from getting a hot bath. She stood before the mirror with her towel tied around her chest as she brushed on her moist hair while trying to untangle it with her fingers… The door flew open, startling her. She leaps in fright and the towel around her body falls to the floor leaving her bud naked before the man… As fast as she could, she picked on the towel and covered her body but no matter how she struggled, she couldn’t hide completely from his view as the side of her breast was still exposed…
“What the hell, don’t you know how to k…” her last word got stuck up in her throat upon seeing the person before her… she thought it was the butler or the maids. He was the last person she was expecting, with wide eyes, she stared at the man without blinking…
“Sorry master didn’t know you were the one” she quickly apologized with a bowed head. silently hoping he would turn and leave but to her dismay, he didn’t…
He strode to her ever so gracefully, making his every step heard. The door closes with a loud bang, sending shivers down her spine… She raises her head, meeting his gray eyes staring at her with so much ardor. she frisson in fear as her heart fights to free itself in her chest… She wanted to move, but it was as if her legs were stuck to the ground as she stood there, frozen and lost in his hot gaze… the closer he approached, the more the blood in her withers off… It was unknown to her and she only realized she was stuck when her bare back hit the wall, stopping her from moving any further… Her heart was beating faster like a raging thunder. She wraps her arms around herself in panic and stares at him with slightly parted lips…
