CHAPTER 83

TAYLOR

Days passed and the mood between me and Michael remained ice cold. At work, all we did was communicate only when it had to do with work and back in the penthouse, all I did was cook but I always made sure to eat alone in my room.

I was determined not to warm up to him except he apologized to me. So things remained stiff between us until a week later and it was the weekend.

I didn't want to share the same space with him. I didn't want to speak to him or see him either… so I decided to go out for a while and I didn't care if he would get mad or not.

I got dressed and left a note on the refrigerator to let him know I was out. Then I left for the destination I had in mind and it was the cafe where I worked before Malcolm changed the trajectory of my life overnight.

The doorbell rang as I pushed it open and the owner, Mr Freddie, rose his head to look at me and he beamed once he recognized me.

“Taylor darling! Its really you” he gushed happily as I walked toward the coun

    CHAPTER 85TAYLOR I walked through the rain nonstop. My clothes got soaked immediately but I didn't care. I didn't even seem to notice because my mind was elsewhere.Michael killed Malcolm. He claimed he did it to protect me but he took a man's life and I didn't know how to feel about it.Or maybe I could say that I felt guilty to know that a part of me was relieved to know he was gone for good.Because Michael was right. Malcolm was going to hurt me again. He was going to come back and do something worse to me if I didn't get him any money but apart from that… the son of a bitch was the reason why I got sold off to Michael in the first place. He betrayed me so a part of me believed he deserved it… but that part was hard to accept. Because I didn't want to live like Michael. I didn't want to think that killing people was a normal thing.At that thought, I saw I had reached an intersection and I stopped as the lights turned green. Then I looked up to watch the cars speed by and I won

    CHAPTER 84TAYLORI arrived at the penthouse, and immediately I walked into the house, I rushed toward Michael’s room and knocked on his door as hard as I could. He pulled it open to face me and we both stared at each other. “I just found out Malcolm's dead” I started and he folded his hands across his chest.“And?” He asked and I took a step closer to him.“Do you have something to do with it?” I asked and he tilted his head to the side before he gave me a once over like he was trying to read me.“Why do you care about his death, Taylor?” He asked and I paused for a moment. He didn't look a bit surprised to hear that Malcolm was dead. It seemed… almost like he expected it.“You had him killed, didn't you?” I asked him as I narrowed my eyes and held my breath while waiting for his response and he eyed me.“He killed your cat” was his defense and quickly, I took two steps back to stay away from him.“How could you?... How could you just… Why?” I screamed as horror ran through my blood

    CHAPTER 82TAYLOR Wielding all the strength I had left in me, I charged at Malcolm and I sent him a punch straight to the face. My knuckles hurt upon the impact but I didn't care because I successfully broke his nose.For me, it was enough to justify Mane's sudden death because of him. So while he writhed in pain from his broken nose, I grabbed the bag of seasoning and sauce I bought from where I dropped it and walked away without another word to him.I reached the penthouse and pausing before the door, I wiped off my tears and stopped myself from shedding anymore tears. I didn't want Michael to know what happened because I didn't want to feel like I owed him if he ended up getting me a new cat. Then I adjusted my dress and exhaled heavily as I mentally readied myself to go in there and act like I didn't just lose my cat… like everything was normal.So I pushed open the door after putting in the code and as I walked in, standing before me was Michael and he had a deep frown on his

    CHAPTER 81TAYLOR“Taylor. It's really you isn't it?” Malcolm spoke again as he walked closer to me and cautiously, I took steps back so he wouldn't get too close while my heart thundered against my ribs from fear.“Why aren't you saying anything? Did the mafia lord who bought you that night cut off your tongue?” He asked me and I stopped moving back.I remained in one spot and sent him a glare as I recalled everything that happened that night and I wished I could send a bullet through his head… or at least hit him. Just as payback for his betrayal.“Aren't you going to apologize to me for what you did?” I asked him while holding onto Mane even more and he meowed loudly and continuously… he even sounded like he was terrified too.“Why should I apologize? You're the one who was gullible enough to trust me so much” he retorted and I scoffed in anger and disbelief as his words sank in.“You pig. You were my boyfriend and we were at a party! You're the reason why my life is this way now!”

    CHAPTER 80TAYLOR“Who does he think he is to talk to me that way? Why the hell would he suddenly care and want to know what’s wrong with me?” I murmured while aggressively rummaging through the kitchen for ingredients. Then I stopped for a moment to calm myself down, and after a moment, I felt stable.With that, I reached for the top cabinet to get something, and my heart fell when I saw it was finished. With a sigh, I closed the cabinet and walked out of the kitchen. Then I left for Michael’s room, and standing before the door, I wondered if it was okay to talk to him after the episode we had just had.But then again, i had to make dinner. So i had to talk to him. Whether I wanted to or not. So i dragged in a long breath and after mustering enough courage, i knocked on the door twice and i heard footsteps from the other side before the door was pulled open and he stood before me, shirtless.I tried not to look at his body because I was bent on not letting him sway me any onger. So i

    CHAPTER 79MICHAELWork came to an end for the day and Fernandez returned to drive me and Taylor back to the penthouse.She still didn't say a word as we walked to the car and even after getting in, she didn't bother telling me what she was making for dinner like she did sometimes.An eerie settled in the car as Fernandez drove us back and when we arrived, he had the car parked and got out to get the door for her but just like in the morning, she got out on her own.With a sigh, I did the same. Then I walked around the car and Fernandez sent me a puzzled look. Immediately, I understood he was referring to Taylor's cold attitude but I shook my head in return and he nodded in response.“Good night, boss” he said and I nodded at him. With that, he returned into the car and left and I joined Taylor to enter the elevator. She wouldn't look at me even as I got the door to the penthouse for the both of us and her cold distant self kept me feeling unsettled. I had to know what was wrong or I

    CHAPTER 78MICHAEL “It was so so”... Taylor's vague answer rang in my head as we had breakfast and I got a sense of dejavu as I wondered if she was distancing herself again.I wondered why she would do that but didn't ask. Instead, I said nothing as we made our way into the car and Fernandez drove us to the company.She didn't look my way in the car either. All she did until we arrived was stare out the window in silence. When Fernandez had the car parked in the parking lot, she got out before he could get the door for her and she didn't wait behind. Alone, she left for the office and that was when I concluded that she was indeed distancing herself from me again. Though, I had no idea why. So I decided to ask her by the end of the day. Together with Fernandez, we walked into the elevator. Then he handed me a flashdrive and I took it.“What's in here?” I asked and he nodded toward it.“Remember you asked me to monitor what Carlos has been up to these days?”“Yes, I remember. Have y

    CHAPTER 77TAYLOR Feeling deflated after I'd lost my appetite, I returned the bowl of popcorn to the kitchen. Then I picked up Mane and made my way to my room.There, I crawled into bed and covered myself up with a blanket but I couldn't help but go back to what I saw on the TV back in the living room. The image of Michael with a prettier woman clinging onto his arm tortured my mind and it hurt like hell.Most of all, I was pissed to know that it hurt me because I wished it didn't. I wished I didn't care so much about which woman Michael related to because I wanted to get him out of my head.Reaching for my phone on the bedside table, I turned it on to watch something to distract myself and stop my mind from reeling with self sabotaging thoughts and cat videos were the only comforting videos I found.Soon, I dozed off while the video played. Then I woke up with a startle when I heard the front door ro the penthouse beep open and when it was closed, I figured it was Michael who had d
