CHAPTER FOURTEEN:I rushed upstairs the moment we got home,my whole body felt sticky I took off my clothes and tied a towel round my chest.I turned and was shocked to see Xander standing there,from the look of things he might have got in when I was undressing."What..what are you doing here?" I asked battling my eye lashes."I wanted to check up on..you ran upstairs like something was wrong?" He responded with a smirk and started walking towards me but I stepped backwards."Why are you worried I saw you" He smirked naughtily"Um..I didn't know that you were following me,I....am..fine" I stuttered miserably."You seem to lose your confidence,where the bold and daring you?" He teased "I am not bold,since when did you start caring about how I feel?" I asked and he stopped on his tracks,his demeanor changed."I came to give you this and also no going out with out my permission" He said sternly and drop my sweatshirt before walking out of the room.I exhale hard and scoff, maybe I should
CHAPTER FIFTEEN:I walk down the stairs in a hurry and saw that the maids had already set the table,I also made dinner so I can formally apologize for what I said last night.The servants as usual stood in front of the house in a straight line,I sighed deeply as he got down from the car and started heading towards the house.He ignored the maids and climb up the stairs acting like I wasn't even there."What a cocky jerk" I huffed but still am at fault, knowing what happened to his parents he's not to be blamed for his cold attitude.I climb upstairs heading towards his room when I saw him standing in front of my room,I cleared my throat then he look up I summoned some more courage on how to start a conversation with him."About what I said last night, I'm sorry I wasn't in my right senses..."Get dressed we're attending a mask ball party," He said and left me standing."Did he just ignore my apologies?, What a arrogant jerk" I scoffed.I took my bath and got dressed in a long sparklin
CHAPTER SIXTEEN: I froze in shock then I turned around to see him walking towards me,he stop right in front of me."What why do you look so shocked?" He asked then a step closer.I just stood there speechless then I turn to walk away but he held my hand."You haven't answered my question,why are you always avoiding me?" He asked staring back at me.Did he just say I was avoiding him,he is always ignoring me like i never existed until now."I don't know what you're talking about,let go of me" I said trying to release my hand from his grasp."We've a important meeting tomorrow so get ready, and also stop cooking for me you're in no position to do that" He said and kissed my hand then he left me stunned.Gosh what was I thinking when I sighed up for this now am the one who's being seduced instead,I just wanted a peaceful life with my brother and now I got myself entangled in this mess.I went back to my room deep in thoughts,why is he suddenly interested in talking to me, what's that su
CHAPTER SEVENTEEN:Debris sat opposite her therapist with a blank expression on her face."You need to let go of your past and face your future" the therapist said and she scoffs."I can't cause am in love with him" She remarked sarcastically."Xander Knox is your past,you need to face your life you've a career..."Just shut it if you don't know what to say,now you listen to me tell my dad the only way I can be fixed is when I have Xander by my side" She snapped and dashed out of the office.The therapist sighed and pick up her cell phone."Yea Mr Fallon she left already" She reported."No sir I think you should take her to rehab,yes cause she's in stage one of depression if it's grows beyond that she might go crazy,trust me she'll come around after three months or four" The therapist assured and hung up.***I woke up and started my daily routine but this time I felt like jogging.Then I dressed up in a joggers and sweat shirt then pack my hair in a ponytail.As I walk down the stair
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN:The maids bowed their heads as they saw Xander."Welcome Master" they said in unison and He nodded then stopped."Dinner isn't ready yet?" He asked and the maids shook their heads."Who is in charge of cooking dinner today?" He asked with his hands on his pocket." Miss told the chef not to,she said she'll take care of it" one of the maid said."Where is she?""In the kitchen sir" The maid replied and Xander head towards the kitchen,the maids watched him till he was out of sight."What am I seeing?" the first maid asked."Master has never been to the kitchen before" the second replied."Goodness,a lot of things has been happening lately, come to think of it don't you think Miss Marianne is different from the others?" The third asked."Yes she is decent and she has manners, imagine her doing the cooking and cleaning she even have conversations with us the chefs also said she's nice and easy going" the first maid said and the others nodded in agreement."Gosh if I were
CHAPTER NINETEEN:I kept pacing around the living room as I waited for Xander, we have to talk about him going to his so-called office.He even skipped breakfast to have time with his whor*s, is he kidding me? Wait, why do I recall all this?Either way, I deserve an explanation because I lied to grandpa and Tiana on his behalf. I walked closer to the window and took a peep."Dinner is ready Miss," Zuna informed me and I glanced at her, dinner is the last thing on my mind.I feel this anger burning deeply in me, I am so mad at him but I don't understand why. This is a contract relationship I don't have the right to feel all this."Master is back," Zuna announced and I turned in the direction of the door, waiting for him to walk in."Good evening Master," I heard some maids greet him as the door opened and he stepped in.Xander ignored them and headed upstairs as usual but he stopped when he noticed something, he turned in my direction."Why are you standing there? It's late," he uttere
CHAPTER TWENTY:I raised my head to look at his blazing eyes and responded, trying to stare away."Uhh."But he's got some sort of magnet in his eyes that draws me back."Who's calling you?" Xander repeated the question and I was forced to bite myself.His eyes were cold and I could sense anger, why is he angry? Is it because I kept him waiting? I promised myself not to be scared of him but I am.I have to pull myself together, or he is going to keep treating me this way."I believe your tongue is still working," he mocked and pulled me closer, my phone stopped ringing and I felt a sense of relief but I am yet to be free.What if he requests to see my phone? He can't do that, it is my phone, my property."Yeah, why do you ask?" I questioned him back before he could give a reply my phone rang again.Why is Pedro bothering me today? Why now? I rolled my eyes mentally as I wished I could slap some senses into his head wherever he is. "Aren't you going to answer the phone or do you want
Chapter Twenty one "I am not cruel, you are the one with the problem," Xander replied after taking a sip from his coffee.I raised my teary eyes to question him, how can I be the one with the problem when he is born with a stoned heart?"What do you mean?" I managed to question him without breaking down in tears. "You dream big," he replied staring coldly at me, I felt the urge to pick up the fork and stab his eyes. What does he mean by I dream big? Is he saying he is unapproachable? I can't reach his heart? Why is he being impossible? I groaned with my eyes closed, and his sexy voice which I wished would sound annoying rang in my ear. "If I were you, I would know my place."I scoffed lowly, why is he making it about me when he is at fault too? I didn't give a reply but simply sat in silence and waited for my food to be served, I would have rushed to my room on a norm but I realize I don't have to do that. Since I am the problem he should learn to deal with me. I pulled my pla
