Damien POV:
I can't believe it no nightmare last night. I felt safe and warm in her hands.
Gosh I feel so relaxed, it's been a really long while I felt this way. No muscle sourness, no splitting headaches and no dizziness.
But why? I couldn't just get that answer. I have never felt this way with any woman after what happened.
I felt her pull herself away and stepped down from the bed. Opening my eyes, I tilted my head to the other side. She was looking through something. Realizing what it was, I stopped.
Dropping the empty container, she made to leave.
"Wait" I stopped her . She turned around slowly her eyes filled with something I don't even know how to explain .
"Why did you come to my room" I asked and she sighed in relief.
"You looked stressed out and angry, I wanted to help you" she replied and a smirk curved on my lips.
"Did I ask you to do that" I asked, standing up and coming closer to her. Moving slowly towards her and watching fear eat her up. She stepped backwards.
"Am …sorry" she whispered, looking down at the floor.
I moved around her , like a lion circling it's prey, then stopped ar her back. My hands flew around her waist. She shivered under me and gasped.
I placed my lips just before her ear, my hot breath on her skin. She trembled.
"I never asked for your comfort" I whispered, my voice dangerously calm.
"Am sorry" she said, her voice filled with fear.
I smiled in satisfaction.
"I was suppose to write someone's blood ledger last night , should I write yours instead" I whispered
"No" she shouted almost immediately. Then added " please" she whispered.
"Good, then don't act when i did not ask you" I replied, giving her a light push away from me before leaving.
She staggered forward.
Scarlett POV :
I regained balance, almost falling.
Here I thought he actually enjoyed it, due to the way he also cawdled me close.
I stepped out, walking like a reawakened ghost. His actions really hurt me, I just wanted to help. He looked messed up last night.
But what did I get in return, a hard warning and a push to the floor. I know he regards me as nothing but at least, I am also human. He should be considerate.
I went into my room feeling weak. His actions just killed my spirit.
I heard a knock on the door, whispering a 'come in' I laid down on the bed.
It was Eva, she looked worried.
"Ma'am are you alright" she asked. I just nodded and adjusted my position on the bed.
"You should be careful, the boss's anger is really bad and can't be tamed, I surprised you aren't hurt" she said and I gasped.
So I got lucky last night— I thought in a sarcastic way.
"Thanks" I whispered.
"You look bored and tired, everything alright" she asked, sitting by the edge of the bed, close to me.
"You should maybe walk around or get something doing" she suggested but I just laughed it off.
The last time I tried walking around, I almost ended up in bed with him and even got chained.
Then an idea popped in. Rising like sleeping beauty, I turned to Eva.
"Do you mean getting something to do, like a job" I asked and Eva shook her head, vigorously ,in disapproval.
"No no I don't mean that, there's no way boss is gonna let you take a job" she said and I frowned.
"I will convince him" I said with full confidence, my eyes looking at her for some kind of motivation.
"Ma'am he won't, please don't risk it" she replied.
I felt disappointed. Why does he have to always disapprove of everything.
"Alright"
I said and she stood up.
"Let me prepare your bath for you" she said and I just nodded, falling back down on the bed.
But that job idea, won't stop popping in my head. I actually needed one, I won't enjoy his luxury for ever. It's just a matter of three months.
I walked into the bathroom, pulling my clothes off, i kept a towel close to the bathtub, before sinking myself into it.
I scrubbed my body, thoroughly—taking my time to think over this job of a thing. After that, I stepped out, wrapped the towel around me before heading out.
I went into my dressing room, cleaned my body properly before applying my body lotion.
After that, I wore my inner wears before proceeding to pick an outfit.
I picked a crazy tight blue jeans matching with a white tank top. I slipped the end of the top underneath my bra— exposing some parts of my slender waist.
I went downstairs for breakfast and discovered Eva wasn't the one serving me as usual. I asked
"Where is Eva" I said, referring to the maid arranging the dishes.
"Ma'am she is compiling the list of food stuffs, needed" she replied and I nodded.
"Is she also gonna be the one doing the shopping" I asked
"Yes ma'am, it's her turn" she answered before heading back to the kitchen.
Then i realized, I haven't actually seen the outside walls of this place. I wonder what it looks like.
I kept eating, enjoying my meal. Then an idea popped up. Rushing my food, I ran upstairs heading towards Mr Grey's room.
I knocked severally but got no response.
"Mr Grey, it's very important" I whispered through the door. My voice like I was trying to enchant him.
I knocked twice more before hearing his authoritative voice, ordering me in.
"This better be important" he warned, sitting on the couch with his legs crossed and sipping from his wine glass.
I swallowed.
"Mr Grey you know since I came, I haven't seen the outside walls of this mansion, talk more of the place at large" I said, trying to make sense of my upcoming request.
Without taking his eyes off the glass, he said "get out before I loose it, you have nothing meaningful to say " he warned, his voice calm but with a lurking danger from within.
"I swear Mr Grey it's very important" I replied, my voice filled with determination.
He didn't say anything and just sipped from his wine.
I will take that as a yes
"Mr Grey, please can I go out with Eva today on her shopping, I just wanna…" I couldn't finish. His black bottomless eyes shutting me up.
I inched backwards.
I don't think he liked what I said.
