A Monster's Mute Bride. chapter 10
I stared at the wall for hours without moving a single muscle.After Cane and I returned to the mansion, I walked through the front doors and made a beeline for Elijah's room.I needed a quite place to shut everything out. But the moment I stepped in to his room, my mind started playing games with me.I tried to shut the voices out.I tried to block the horrible images from entering my head. But I failed miserably.If I was back at home, I would have successfully escape moments like this by letting myself get lost in the beautiful colours of the paints.I would use all the anxiety and fear as a strength to wield my weapons.I wanted to do the same here. But of course, I couldn't.So, I ended up dropping myself on the edge of the bed and stared in to the wall.I didn't realize how long I'd stayed frozen until I heard the door open.I moved my eyes over to the door and tensed up when I saw Elijah walk in.The second he stepped in to the room, he roamed his eyes across it before he settl

I woke up three times last night, and it wasn't because I couldn't find comfort in the bathtub. It was because of the nightmares that would poison my sleep.I kept trying to get some rest but each time I close my eyes and sleep tried to drag me in to the deep, I would startle awake, soaked with sweat and trembling with fear.By the time I woke up for the third time, I realized that trying to sleep was useless. So, I decided to leave the bathroom.The amount of care it took for me to unlock the door was unimaginably challenging. I couldn't afford waking Elijah up with the loud click of the lock.When I walked out of the bathroom though, Elijah was not in bed.Even though it was dark in the room, the glow coming from the bathroom provided enough light for me to see that there wasn't anyone laying on the bed.I glanced towards the walk in closet to see that it was wide open, but Elijah wasn't in there either.With a frown, I walked to the middle of the bedroom and wondered what to do nex

Cane was waiting for me by the car outside of the mansion. When I approached the car, he held open the back door for me until I got in. My mind was elsewhere, constantly thinking about how my sister didn't tell me about something that big.I did not want to go shopping, and to be honest, I didn't want to go back home either. But I was given an order, so I followed it.The drive to the store felt long. I kept my eyes outside while my fingers picked at the corner of my phone case.When we finally reached our destination, Cane parked the car and turned around to look at me."Mr. Smith said you can pick which ever dress you like. It's owned by Smooth Smith so everything is free... Well, just for you." He added before he got out of the car and walked around to open the door for me.Letting out a sigh, I hopped out of the car and looked towards the store we stopped in front of.From where I was standing, I could see most of the inside of the store through the glass windows and I have to s

I fished my notebook out of my pocket.'It was you last night?' I wrote before I tossed the notebook to Cane.Cane effortlessly caught the notebook with his right hand and read what I wrote before he nodded his head."Yes, it was me." He replied with an apologetic smile. "I... tend to sleepwalk sometimes. I don't know what's happening at that very moment, so I always check the security feed every morning."A small mischievous smile crawled up his lips."The cameras might have caught you running like there was a ghost chasing after you." He chuckled.Oh, how embarrassing.I was too scared at that moment. My one goal was to run away from the tall figure and make my escape. Cane tossed the notebook back to me."It's best if you avoid taking a walk at night by yourself. The mansion might be safe but it has its own flaws, and sadly, I'm one of them." He warned.I nodded my head as I shoved my notebook and pen in to the front pocket of my hoody.The woman, Amy returned with many dresses dr

Getting ready for the dinner party was hard. All I had to do was put the dress on and tie my hair, which could have only taken a few minutes. But I ended up using an entire hour procrastinating, not wanting to go with Elijah. However, something told me that if I stayed a minute longer, Elijah would come to get me and that would not be a pleasant situation.After I pulled the black dress on, I tied my hair in to a neat bun.I looked at myself through the mirror and made sure that the turtleneck covered my neck well, along with the hideous scar.I slipped the black heels I'd worn to my father's grave and once again looked at myself.I looked pretty plain.From the few glances I've caught of these dinner parties, I've noticed that everyone comes to showoff. Every person I'd seen come to the house were dressed to impress, looking flashy in their expensive dresses and jewelries.With the simple tight dress that reached below my knees, I knew I would be able blend in to the background so w

Elijah Smith...I could feel how nervous Ella was beside me. Everytime someone approached us to have a conversation with me, she would shrink further behind me, trying to get unnoticed by everyone.And to her credit, she did go unnoticed except for when her family members approach.I could tell that she has a very shy nature to her but with how her own sister didn't want her here at the dinner party and how her mother kept shooting her a fake smile, I wondered if she was shy or was just unwanted to the point that she was convinced that she was shy.I've been carefully watching everyone around the hall and I did manage to catch her mother glancing our way. The loving gaze was no longer in her eyes as she stared at Ella from a distance.I could tell that there was a heavy tension between the Williamsons. I've always wondered why I never saw the other twin before Custo passed away.Now, I have an idea that maybe they were just hiding her. Why? That, I do not know. It did manage

Ella Williamson...I kept a strong hold on my phone as I tried not to think about the man standing really close to me.I was still in shock from what happened a few minutes ago.Running in to Elijah in an empty hall was one thing, but getting pressed against the wall was another.I knew Elijah would be mad if I left his side to go see my sister in her room. But she wanted to talk to me and I wanted to hear her out.The risk I took to go see her was all in vein. The explanation Elizabeth gave me didn't make much sense to me. How would having a party in the house upset me to the point that she wanted to hide it from me?I mean, I got married to a man I didn't know just a few hours after our father was buried. How would her engagement upset me more than that?I realized that Elizabeth didn't want to tell me the reason behind her lie and it really bothered me.I would have believed her more if she'd just said that our mother didn't want me at the engagement party.After apologizin

Elijah Smith...I led Ella out of the Williamson's Mansion with her hand in mine.Ella didn't complain as I pulled her out through the front door, which was a surprise. I assumed she would want to stay here much longer.I let go of her hand when we got to the car and unlocked the doors before I hopped in to the driver's seat.I waited for Ella to get in to the car and put her seatbelt on before I fired up the engine.Ella sat tense beside me as I drove away from the Mansion. Her head was turned towards the window, blocking the gorgeous view of her eyes...Wait, what?I glanced at her with a frown before I returned my eyes to the road.Gorgeous was not the word I was aiming at.My phone rang, thankfully distracting me from my thoughts. I tapped the earbud in my right ear to answer the call."Are you out?" Cane asked."Yes." I replied."So, what did you find?" He asked again."Nothing much." I replied."Nothing much? You made me work overtime for nothing much? I had plans tonight
