All Over Me

Clara’s POV

The old woman seems to be very friendly, and I could only smile at all her words; I didn’t even know who she was.

Derick, who was beside me, served the food on the table, and I kept wondering if there wasn’t any servant in the house that would do that. Another thing that was getting me very baffled was how I couldn’t see any servants around. The house was very massive, and with this luxury, it was expected to have a lot of servants.

“Why aren’t you eating?” the old lady asked, and that was when I snapped out from my thoughts and began to eat.

For the entire time, the boss didn’t say a word when he saw me, unlike him when he was used to meanly taunting words.

“My name is Jenni, and I’m Lucas’s mother,” the old woman introduced herself.

I became stunned. Why invite me to a dinner with his mother, and why was she acting so calm and friendly to me? Could he have told her what had happened, or could he have told her why he had kidnapped me? Because at this stage, this is clearly kidnapping.

Lucas?

The name echoed in my mind as it sounded, and for the very first time, I was able to know that this very man in front of me’s name was Lucas.

I faked a smile at the old woman. I didn’t say anything about what had happened, or how I had come into this mansion in the first place. I had expected her to already figure it out, and also figure out that she had a beast of a person called her son.

The meal soon ended, and Derick escorted me back to the room that was being given to me. Just like before, I went to the door to try to open it, but the door wasn’t opening. It seems Derick had locked it before.

I went to the bed, and with a sigh escaping my lips, I fell on the soft bed that was before me.

I wished I could see Lucia at the moment. What if she is in danger? And not only that, what about Otis, my dog? Where could Otis be? I hope Otis is in good condition.

At some point, while thinking about everything, I felt like my head was pulling away from my neck.

The next day, at exact six in the evening, my door pushed open and Derick walked in. Not even a knock could be gotten from him, and that arrogance alone was very annoying.

Could he be here to inform me about a meal again?

I couldn’t tell if that was why he was here, and I guess calling me for a meal wasn’t it, because he had brought me well-prepared food earlier—like he was feeding a prisoner, but this time, I became a prisoner of high class because the food was nice.

“You have a job to do,” Derick informed.

I blinked, still trying to understand what job I was to do. Could it be another stripping session? And if it was, I didn’t even know where I was at the moment. This exact mansion and landscape doesn’t look like Mexico.

And I was about to ask what he had meant when suddenly he gave me a reply. “You have a session with the boss tonight.”

He made this announcement before turning to leave, but all of a sudden he paused, then shifted his gaze back to me. “It really amazed me that boss had chosen you. Among all the girls he had in his possession working for him as a stripper, you should be grateful for that, and I’m advising you to do what it takes to win his trust.”

After ending his words, he walked out the door, and while still walking out, he said before finally closing the door, “Get yourself ready. I will come in the next ten minutes to come take you to him.”

Derick had been a very faithful person to the boss, and I don’t even know why, though it’s obvious maybe the crime boss, who I just found out his name is Lucas, could be paying him a huge sum of money.

After approximately ten minutes, Derick was standing in front of the door waiting for me.

I was putting on something light, just a short gown that looks like pyjamas, but was somewhat stylish. It was among the expensive dresses that were packed in the wardrobe for me.

He walked me through the mansion corridor till we got to another door in the massive mansion, and when he pushed the door, he gestured for me to go in.

I blinked, still feeling a sense of uneasiness rising all over me.

“What are you waiting for? Go inside and do the needful...” Derick’s voice almost pushed me off my feet, though it wasn’t that it came with a wave of something, it was just exhausting.

The moment my feet crossed the door, the door behind me shut close and I jolted in fear.

The room was very massive, with different paintings, and not just that, there was an unfinished painting, as though someone was drawing something. Even as it was not yet finished, I still could tell how amazing it was.

I didn’t see Lucas.

The room was empty. I darted my head around, and when I thought Derick must have taken me to the wrong room, I heard a familiar voice speak: “I’ve been craving for your presence for a while now...”

Craving! My presence!

Those words weren’t making sense to me when he had said it, not until I began to process it that I could tell that something must have actually been going on inside his head.

Though, I still couldn’t see him as he spoke. I only heard his voice from the balcony, which has a massive view of the mountain and the ocean, along with also the beautiful forest.

When he finally revealed himself, I almost ran out of breath. He wasn’t putting on a shirt, and his broad chest was killing me.

So sexy, so attractive, and even though I’m not supposed to like what he was doing to me, I still couldn’t shove that feeling of wanting to touch that chest
