Drexel was quiet, not that he had nothing to say, he became interested in the woman fighting for the servant who would have dealt with her if he had not shown up in the first place. Tyler tries to get past her to the servant but Ava was not having it. "Take me with her or better still, let her go. Everything happened because of me" Ava pleaded. "enlighten me, how it happened since you dim me punishing her wrong," Drexel said knitting his brows. "She was only asking me not to touch the painting, but... bbu.. but I was so caught up in its beauty that I ignored her plea to me not to touch it," Ava explained, not daring to look into Drexel's eyes for fear of getting caught. "So everything is your fault not hers right?" Drexel asked. Tyler had moved away from the servant and Ava, the servant was now on her kneels sobbing loudly without saying a word. Ava did not respond to his question, even though she was scared of what he would do to her, but if she denies it, the servant alone wi
******Drexel's POV *******When she asked me what the occasion was, I found my tongue-tied, I didn't know what to say to her the only thing that popped up in my head was her death, I'm not the type to sugarcoat someone, regardless of the reason she's still alive and well, was all thanks to the life bound or what it is, that I don't know.I want to make her happy today, my mood had changed a hundred times since I meet her, I was either happy, sad, or crying, right now I feel so hungry even when I just finished eating.Those fucking emotions are what I never had to bother myself with in the past.and here she's opening the door to my locked-up emotions, I won't let that happen.I will find a way and put an end to this feeling, and after that, I will put an end to her miserable life.I'm only doing her a favor anyway, she should be lucky she was given the opportunity to die in my hand. I thought to myself.the table was already set and I sit in the middle of the dining room. I have never
Drexel took her upstairs to his room, then he called in Tyler who was oblivious to what happened.He meet Drexel seated at the side of his bed and was shocked when he looked around and found a woman lying comfortably on Drexel's bed.Tyler use his hands to rub his eyes as he could never believe a day like this would come when his cold-hearted boss will let a woman lay in his bed.Tyler open his mouth to say something, but he was interrupted by Drexel's commanding voice."Get me doctor Amelia," Drexel said to him.Amelia is Drexel's home doctor right from the early days."Ye..ye..yes boss," Tyler stuttered.he opened the door about to walk out but stop in his trail to ask what had happened. As if Drexel already know what was going on in his mind, this time he yelled at him aggressively."What are you still standing there doing!!"Tyler hurried downstairs, and within some minutes he was back with the doctor.She hurried to the patient's side without many pleasantries.After she was done
Ava slowly regain consciousness, and her gaze fell on a man with his back to her standing in front of the mirror, his back was broad and a beautiful sight to her vision, she stayed like that for a moment bathing her eyelid in the beauty of the man with his back at her. "but wait, where am I?" she questions herself as she stares around. This has to be his room, it has the same aura as the one standing in front of the room. She noticed that she was carefully tucked in a black duvet and inside was a fluffy white color bed sheet, she moved her eyes around the room she was in. it's was different from the first one she had been to. The bedroom interior theme was black and white, the owner of this bedroom must have been against bright colors and also a freak, who else would make the theme of its bedroom black and white? The wallpaper was also designed in black and white, and so was the thick curtains, there was this scary-looking painting of a ghost slightly above the bed interior, it s
Drexel left after giving Mrs. Donovan instructions, he asked her to take care of the young miss and make sure she check up on her. He got to his office early that morning. the early morning of Monday is always a busy day for Drexel, as the production and the package unit needed his signature on all the heaps of files well arrange on his table. Some hour when he arrived, he called home to ask how Ava was doing and he was informed that she had eaten and had gone back to sleep. He dropped his ball pen in thought, it been two days since he had forcefully brought Ava to his villa and no one had filed a missing person. Does that mean no one misses her? Or was it true according to the file reports that she had no one taking care of her, she also had no boyfriend, " he thought. What happened to her, he found himself getting curious and the level of his curiosity about her life grew with a sudden surge.His desk phone rang, it's his villa number. "Hey, Mrs Donovan," he said as soon as h
Tyler ran after his boss and found him on the rooftop of the Mace Company building."I'm sorry, Boss. please forgive me," Tyler pleaded earnestly." Come here, Tyler," Drexel beckoned to him.He walk up to him and stood beside him, the two enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the Central City. Mace Company is built at a little distance from the heart of the city, so standing on the rooftop of his company building and watching others going on with their daily business was calming to the nerves."Tyler, I will give you five hundred million dollars to kill yourself," Drexel said.Tyler was shocked at his words."Five hundred million dollars?" Tyler repeated."Yes, Is it not enough? A billion-dollar then," Drexel added.Tyler can not help but turn his face to look at his boss, maybe he was just teasing him. but Drexel's face was stoned cold and pale, there was no signs of laughter nor a sign of him joking.It made him speechless, he tried to open his mouth but could not, it felt to him as if
****Ava's POV******* The moment Drexel stepped out of the room, I become scared, my imagination was going wild due to my previous traumatic experience in my foster parent's home I hate staying in the dark in the daytime and this room was not just dark but had a painting of a ghost slightly above my head. Luckily for me, I heard a knock on the door. "Who is there?" I questioned. "Miss, your breakfast" came a young vibrant voice. "oh, it's the house caretaker Drexel mentioned to me earlier," I thought. "Come on in," The door creaked open and the familiar face of the old woman came into sight, at first I was scared and I stared at her to see her next action, but she smiled lovely at me revealing her big rows of front teeth. She then gestures to a servant who was holding a tray of food. "you should try to get up miss," she said to me. I wanted to tell her that I wasn't hungry but my tummy growled at the sight of the delicacy in the tray. I will just have a little bite I said to m
****Ava's POV**** I opened and peep through the door, there were no sounds of footsteps, it was so quiet. I tiptoed outside, and luckily for me, I saw a heap of clothes left outside a door, I think someone left it there. The door was a little ajar, and someone had it back at the door. I peek through and saw the slender tall lady that Abigail called Loretta. She was about to the laundry and I wonder who had those clothes, in my quest to get a clue of the owner of those clothes the door creaked and she instantly stops moving, I quickly pick those clothes on the floor heaping them in a way that she can't see my face.

With a tiny voice, I said, "Ma'am asked me to do the laundry," She stops in her tracks, I thought she had caught on and I was ready to put on a fight but I heard her sigh and
