“Can you stop that?” He asked with a glare and she stopped laughing immediately.
“Sorry, sir.”
“Come on, tell the truth already.”
“I just told you six truths, none of it was a lie.”
“Yeah, whatever, just tell me the truth.”
“Okay, you are pretty, I think you are cute and you have a nice body.” He said meaning it as a lie and she smiled happily.
“You are not wrong sir, thank you.” She blushed and Hayden shook his head.
“I got everything right so you will do anything I say.”
“Whatever.” He replied.
“My turn.” She said and gulped out of the smoothie then cleared her throat.
“My three wishes are, I wish to have a better life, I wish my mum will get better and I wish to get married to a sexy man.” She giggled and Hayden scoffed.
“A sexy man.” He muttered and rolled his eyes.
“Now, I will say three things, tell me if it's a truth or a lie.”
“I am happy, I have a crush on you, you are hot.”
“They are all true except you being happy, you are sad.”
“How did you know?”
“Obviously, I am hot and every female has a crush on me, even a kid. And you are sad because I can sense the sadness and fear coming from you.”
“Sense?”
“Yes, it's part of me being a demon.”
“Can you stop joking? It's starting to get boring.” She said and he rolled his eyes.
“Okay, I will say three things, two of them will be a lie and one will be true.” She said and he nodded in response.
“So, I like Bryan, I love you, I love my life.”
“What is the truth? What is the lie?”
“You liking Bryan is a truth, the other two are a lie.”
“Why do you keep getting it? And don't tell me it is because you are a vampire or a demon.”
“Just a lucky guess.” He replied and she smiled.
“So, I won. What is in it for me?”
“Nothing.” She replied and gulped her smoothie, she emptied the bottle and picked Hayden’s own.
“Can I have yours?” She asked and he nodded.
“Aren't you hungry?” She asked and he shook his head in response.
“But you haven't eaten all day and during breakfast, you didn't eat, you just drank a cup of coffee.”
“Vampires don't eat, all we drink is blood.”
“Okay, everything you are trying to get me out of this house won't work, I am not scared.”
“You should be.”
“You are so annoying.” She replied and opened his smoothie.
“I get that a lot.” He replied and he suddenly got a text from his phone, he stared at it and turned it off.
“I have to go.” He said and stood up.
“Why?” She asked as she also stood up.
“Nothing, I am tired and I need to sleep.” He said and walked back towards the house, she followed him and they both walked down the stairs.
“Goodnight.” She said as he hurriedly walked away, he didn't give her a response and she shrugged before walking into her room.
She sighed and fell on her bed immediately, she was about to check her list when she realized she dropped it in the game room.
“Ugh, I will just get it tomorrow, I am so exhausted.” She muttered and slowly closed her eyes.
*********
Ashley woke up the next day feeling better and with good energy. She had other things to experience today and she is going to talk to Hayden about it after breakfast.
She walked out of her room and walked downstairs, she got to the dining room and smiled happily when she saw Bryan.
“Bryan!” She called happily and Hayden rolled his eyes.
“Oh, hey Ashley, how are you?” He asked and she sat beside him.
“I am fine, and you?”
“Am good, how is the reviewing going?”
“Good.”
“Is your male character cooperating?” He asked and she suddenly noticed Hayden was also in the room.
“Oh, hey Hayden. I didn't see you there.” She said.
“Of course, you didn't.” Hayden replied and continued with his phone.
“So, is he cooperating?”
“Yeah, sure.”
“But he told me I have to be submissive to him.”
“Of course, it is part of the role you would play.”
“Oh, I had no idea.”
“It is okay.”
“Oh and he also told me some other things.”
“Things like what?”
“He told me he is a vampire and a demon, he said he is three thousand years old, he owns this house, all this being about a movie and a review is all a lie and everything I am seeing and experiencing is all a fantasy.”
“What?”
“Yes, that was what he said.”
“Freeze!” Bryan ordered and snapped his finger and Ashley froze including the maids, he turned to Hayden and glared at him.
“What the fuck is wrong with you?” Bryan asked.
“Did you just cast a spell on them? You know that is wrong and against the rules.”
“Don't fucking try to change the subject dweeb, what if she believes you?”
“She won't, she can't actually believe that.”
“Don't say anything stupid to her again.”
“I will, you are just wasting your time over this.”
“No I am not, I have a good feeling it will work this time.”
“No, it won't work. It hasn't been working for over two thousand years.”
“It will work this time Hayden.”
“It won't.”
“Just don't say anything stupid to her again.”
“Then get her out of my house, I already told you I don't need your help, Bryan.”
“Yes you do and she is the solution to your problem so deal with it.” He replied and snapped his finger before turning to her.
“Don't listen to whatever he says, he is just trying to scare and annoy you.” Bryan said with a smile and she nodded.
“I thought as much.” Ashley replied and stuck her tongue out at Hayden.
“So Bryan, what exactly is this movie about? I really don't know.” Ashley said as she took a spoonful of chicken soup.“Oh, it's about a girl who got sold to a mafia lord at a young age and was submissive to him.” Bryan replied and he nodded.“He is lying, we are both vampires and he is also a witch and we are best friends.” Hayden said and Bryan laughed.“Do you really think I will believe that? I am not dumb.” She scoffed.“Oh, you are so dumb.” Hayden said and she glared at him.“We have a list of things to do today, so get ready.” She said and he sighed.“I think I have to go now.” Bryan said standing up and Hayden glared at him.“Okay, bye Bryan.” Ashley said and he smiled before walking out. “So, what is on your list?” He asked and she smiled.“Hold on, I will go get the book. I dropped it in the game room yesterday.” She stood up and walked out of the living room, she rushed to the game room and picked up the book then rushed back to the dining.“Okay, so what we have to do t
“Can we go already, it's getting boring.” Hayden scoffed as he leaned on the wall, Ashley turned to him and stared at his face. She wanted to talk about him complaining a lot but she got lost staring at him.She noticed how cute he looks! He is, well, different from all the other guys she has been seeing, not that she has seen a lot but the few she met in high school and college count. He is handsome, not perhaps in the conventional sense, but he has that appearance that could make him stand out in the crowd except for his rude and annoying personality. He is fair, he is obscure, and his beautiful black eyes contrasted exceptionally with his light-toned face. His eyes were as deep and expressive, as you could get lost if you stared long enough. He looks so built and she imagined trailed her hand down his chest. You can say he is just one in a million, who was “nothing special, but all the same unique” except for his annoying and rude attitude.“Hmm, earth to Ashley.” He said and Ashl
“Ugh.” Ashley groaned as she tossed around her bed. She has been in the room for hours and she was starting to get tired of it. “I am so bored.” She groaned and sat up on her bed. “Hey.” She called and one of the maids in her room turned to her. “Why the hell am I still trapped in this room?” She asked. “I have no idea, ma’am.” She replied and bowed. “Is this part of the review?” Ashley muttered and sighed, she shook her head and fell back on the bed. ********* Ashley paced around her room and stared at the furniture, that was how bored she was and she was getting frustrated. It's evening already and the maids left her an hour ago, she tried going out countless times but the guards keeps defying her of access. The door to her room suddenly opened and the guard walked in. “You are free to go ma’am.” He said and he walked out. She scoffed and rolled her eyes. “Free to go? Really? I am not a prisoner.” She mumbled angrily and stormed out of the room, she rushed down the stairs
Hayden rolled his eyes and kept staring at the sky.“Of all girls in the world, Bryan had to hire a drama queen.” He muttered and stood up. He walked into the house and head towards his room, he paused when he saw Ashley staring at the dragon’s painting on the wall. She was so drawn to it, she didn't notice when he walked towards her.“Ashley.” He called and she flinched.“Oh my God, you scared the shit out of me.” She gasped.“I thought you were going to your room.” “Yeah, I wanted to but I realized I was trapped in my room all day for a stupid reason.” She said and he ignored her statement.“Can I ask a question?” She asked and he nodded.“What is this painting about?”“I have no idea.”“But it's in this house... ““It's the Empire's house remember?” He asked and she sighed. “Why does it look so familiar?” She mumbled but Hayden heard what she said.“It looks familiar?”“Yes, I don't remember seeing it but I feel like I know about this painting a lot like I have lived it and I am
Chapter Ten*************Ashley stared at her puffy eyes in the mirror and sighed, she had cried all night thinking about what Hayden said to her and if she could get another job. She didn't know why his words hurt her so much but they did, he really didn't have to be mean about everything he says. “Ma’am, are you okay in there? You have been in there for a while now.” A maid said knocking on the door and she sighed.“Am okay, I will be out in a minute.” She replied and wiped the tear that was about to roll down her eyes, she lazily took her bath and she walked out of the bathroom when she was done. The maid in her room bowed on seeing her but she ignored the maid and entered her closet, she walked out of it minutes later dressed in a plain gown, and slowly sat on her bed.“What’s your name?” She asked the maid.“My name is Kira ma’am.”“Okay Kira, can you bring my breakfast to my room? I really don't have the strength to go downstairs.”“Of course ma’am, I will be back.” The mai
“I am not going anywhere till you tell me when you are leaving.” Hayden said and she sighed. She wiped her tears and glared at him. Hayden sat up and she turned away from him.“I seriously don't get why you are upset.” “I just want you to leave.” She said and he rolled his eyes, he noticed her meal was still on the table and he turned to her.“You didn't eat your food?” He asked and she ignored him.“Ashley.”“Just go, Hayden!” She yelled.“Why didn't you eat your food?” He asked and walked to the table.“Don't act like you care, it's none of your business.”“Of course, I don't care.” He replied and she sighed.“See? Get out.”“Why didn't you eat?” He asked and she glared at him.“Leave me alone Hayden.”“It is bad not to eat.” He muttered and carried the tray, he placed it on her bed and sat beside her.“What are you doing?” She asked as he took a spoonful and stretched it to her mouth.“Open up.” He ordered and she glared at him before opening her mouth. He fed her and watched her
Ashley was excited all day and she couldn't wait for it to be dusk, after what seemed like forever, it was finally dusk and she got dressed in one of her favorite dresses. She giggled happily and rushed downstairs, she sat in the living room and waited anxiously for Hayden. She stared at the time and noticed it was still 7:00 pm.“It is still early, he will be here soon.” She muttered and played with the tip of her dress.Minutes turned into hours that Ashley as been expecting Hayden, she stared at the time on her phone and sighed seeing it was midnight already.Tears clouded her eyes and she bit her lip to fight back the tears, she knew she should have kept her hopes high but she thought he would show up since he promised her.“Ma’am.” Butler Lucas called walking to her and she sighed, the tear she has been holding rolled down and Lucas smiled at her.“I think you should go to bed, I don't think sir Hayden is coming home anytime soon.” He said and she nodded.“Lucas.” She called and
An hour passed and Hayden still kept battling with the Fun Gem Claw machine, Ashley sighed as she watched him battle with it. She played with the pile of stuffed animals he has successfully brought out except the bear. She was starting to feel cold and she wrapped his jacket around her.“Hayden.” Ashley called as he wiped sweats off his forehead. “I am busy here Ashley.” He replied and the bear dropped out of the claw again.“Can't we just go home?”“No.”“But it's past midnight already, it's two in the morning.” Ashley sighed and he ignored her.“Okay, I don't want the bear again, let's just go home.” She whined and he ignored her again. “Hayden come on.” Ashley groaned and he ignored her.“I need more coins.” He said and changed the money into coins.“You are wasting a lot of money just to get a stuffed bear.” Ashley laughed and he ignored her.Some minutes later, he finally brought out the bear and sighed in relief.“Told you it wasn't hard.” He sighed and he noticed his jacket
