CHAPTER 13

Kimberly grabbed the pamphlet, sat on the couch, and began to read starting from the beginning. She realized that he had lots of allergies. 

He is allergic to crabs, too much chilly pepper, sugar, and too much milk, very cold food, and many more

"How will he even enjoy himself when he is allergic to almost everything? And he has the money. I wish I had this huge money without allergies." She thought looking around the house again.

She kept reading when she heard someone walk behind her. She quickly looked back and she saw it was Landon. This time, he looks calm and better than earlier. 

"Why are you sitting down here?" He asked with his hands in his side pockets.

"Because I have nowhere to sit. How are you feeling?" She asked still sitting.

"That is none of your business, get up and go up to your room," Landon said and Kimberly's eyes widened.

"I have a room! I have a room in this mansion?" She asked aloud in astonishment before she could caution herself.

"Ruby didn't show you." He mumbled rubbing his forehead carefully.

"She didn't," Kim replied standing up.

"Follow me. And, don't you even sit down on my couch again. It's more expensive than you think." Landon declared and Kimberly felt hurt.

"So I can spoil or make it cheap by just sitting on it." She asked.

"I don't care how you feel about it. You listen and obey me." Landon said leading the way. He loved the way he controlled and spoke to her. In no time, she would understand how to talk to him.

Kimberly followed behind him making funny faces at his back. Landon turned his head slightly and Kimberly quickly cautioned herself.

Soon Landon stopped and pointed at a door in front of him.

"That is your room." He said and Kimberly quickly walked forward. She turned the doorknob but the door didn't open.

"Why isn't it opening?" Kimberly asked trying to open it. Landon stood there and glared at her. He enjoyed the way she wasted her time instead of asking for help from him.

"Will you just stand there? Or you will help me with this." Kim said in frustration and Landon kept mute looking at her. 

Kimberly immediately understood why he was acting weird so she decided to act calm, cos if she doesn't she would be the one to sleep on the floor.

"It's not coming. Can you help me out?" She asked promising herself never to use, please.

Landon walked towards her and then picked out the key to the door in his pockets.

"So it was locked. And you couldn't even tell me." Kim said angrily but Landon ignored her.

He opened the door and walked in dipping his hands in his pockets again. That was Landon's charm, he looked super hot doing it.

"Wow," Kimberly yelled inside her head. The room looked very beautiful and extravagant.

She walked around the room trying not to be so surprised in front of Landon. She didn't want to give him another cause to be full of himself.

"I would need to go pack my  at home." She said looking at Landon.

"Pack what stuffs?" He asked coldly.

"Ladies stuff." She said nothing knowing how to say it to him.

"What ladies ?" He asked.

"You don't have to worry about that. I need to get somethings at home." She insisted and he sighed.

"You won't be needing that here. All you need are right there in the closet." He said pointing to the closet. 

Kimberly walked up to the closet, opened it as saw casual dressings and more uniforms in it. She sighed rubbing her head in frustration.

"How do I tell him I need to pick up my ?" She thought looking at him.

"I guess I can leave now," Landon said turning his back to leave.

"No! Wait! I need to pick up my shoes." She said in a loud tone making Landon stop.

"You won't be needing shoes because you won't be going out," Landon said and Kim bit her lower lip pretty hard searching for the right words.

Landon turned to leave when Kimberly spoke up again.

"I need my underwear! I  stay In the same underwear for weeks." She muttered very fast and Landon smiled. He knew what she meant but wanted her to say it.

"You can wash them and wear them again." He teased with his back still turned against her.

"What? Would you even advise your girlfriend or wife to do so?" Kim asked irritated by what he said.

"You are nothing compared to my girlfriend so don't compare yourself with her. You are just a maid, and I am your boss." He said turning to look at her In the face and Kim felt so angry.

She wanted to give him his dose when she remembered her sick dying father. 

"Father, why are you sick? I would have kicked him in his balls if not for you." She cursed under her breath with a frown on her face.

Landon turned to leave with no expression on his face. 

Kim sighed crashing into the mattress. 

"Why is my life so messed up?" She questioned herself with tears heating her eyes. 

Suddenly her phone began to ring in the apron pocket interrupting the emotional moment.

She reached for her phone and saw her mother calling.

"Oh no. This is not a good time." She thought fearfully before picking up.

"Mother. I..." She said but stopped abruptly when she heard a familiar voice she didn't want to hear at all.

"Hey," Alexander said with a smile on his face.

"Where is the mother? I need to talk to her." She told feeling a little pissed.

"Calm down Kimberly. She asked me to talk to you." Alex responded staring at her mother.

"And did you have to use her phone?" She asked knowing her mother was trying to play games with her.

"Will you at least listen to what he has to say?" She heard her mother say underneath and she kept her cool.

"I don't know why you hate me so much, Kimberly. You should know intentions are true. I love you." He said and I shut my eyes trying so hard not to yell back at him.

"Alex we talked about this okay? I don't love you." I muttered.

"You don't love him yet you wait for him to take care of your responsibilities. If not for him your father would have died! And the only way you can repay him is telling him you hate him?" Kim's mother said in anger taking the phone from Alex, who was feeling so hurt by her words.

"Mother please stop. I already found a job and I was going to help pay father's bills." Kim said calmly.

"So his kidney would wait for you? You owe Alexander Kim, let that stick in that dull skull of yours." Her mother yelled hanging up.

Kim's phone fell from her hand as she busted into tears. 

Landon who was passing by heard Kim's conversation and it got his attention. After she stopped talking he could hear her sob.

He reached for the doorknob and opened the door. Immediately Kim heard him walk in, she wiped off her tears quickly pretending to be fine.

"Have you changed your mind? Can I go home now?" She asked ignoring his face.

"I need you in my bedroom now." He said walking out and Kim's eyes widened.

"In your bedroom?" She repeated in shock.
