As soon as the car arrived she got inside and he was right on the driver's seat deliberately she sat on the back seats but he didn't say a word . She was still seething with anger when he cleared his throat adjusting the review mirror to face her . " And which blood sucking leech did you kiss today?"he said and she glared at him. "What are you-"she paused and his eyes narrowed. She touched her brushed lips and pouted looking outside the window . "I asked you a question , do well in answering it ."his voice call as he said but she could feel the car getting more icey . "I don't remember."she said ,oh now her nerves were getting relaxed. He raised a brow, "You don't remember?"he said and she shrugged . "I mean it's a loveless marriage, a contract on paper, performance infront of people what do you expect me to do ? I'm twenty two. My hormones are always active."she said looking outside the window. He nodded his head ,"True, that it is ."that's the last thing he said to her the entire night ,even when they arrived at Leister Reeds place, he only kissed her hand and pulled her chair, putting food on her plate but that was it . He gave her compliments and chatted away well more like jabs with Leister from what she picked up they had history a long toxic one. Leister's wife was accommodating and fun honestly but what really bothered her was the fact that her revenge to make him mad didn't even affect him .
After the dinner ,Mrs Reeds ,ushered her to a tea room. While Leister and Shaun had a little chat. To Shaun it was like meeting the only grudge he could ever have. "Cute wife you got. Stole her from her sister?"Liester said while lighting his cigarette ,Shaun only smirked . "Shs manhandled your sweet not so biological daughter didn't she ?"Shaun replied and Leister gave him a cigarette but Shaun refused it. "We're getting old man. Besides my cute wife that manhandled your daughter hates smokers ."he's lying. Leister chuckled putting out his cigarette. "You're right, how do you want this to handled?"he finally asked. Shaun looked at the trees outside this man that used to be his best friend. "I would have handled it in a messy way but my wife wanted it to be within the laws . Warn your daughter or else the last thing she'll be crying out is her tounge or fingers."Shaun said softly ,then leaning on the balcony rails on his back .
Leister smiled knowingly, his tattoos peaking he sighed . "Alright, why do you keep her identity hidden ?"he asked and this time Shaun finally looked at him directly in the eyes . "Cause she's worth being hidden. They took Celest from me . I don't want my things to be sullied with ."he said, both men not daring to break this eye contact they have. One with brown eyes and one with pale grey eyes. "You know what to do this time right ?"Leister asked his old friend who just shrugged. "Mind your business buddy , you still owe me your loyalty ."clearly with enough of this chit chat that doesn't amuse him. Shaun cut it short,and started walking off. Leister watched his figure retreating back into his study room,Shaun has good qualities, hs isn't a snake , if he wants to bite you he will do it upfront, he's honest and loves loyalty ,he's the kind of person you would tell your last wish . But Leister knew he ruined that by himself, and that was okay. If Shaun wanted him dead he would have done that a long time ago ,and he would do it himself. Otherwise with him being alive still means that ,Shaun sort of trusts him ,not need him . If everyone in this circle knows about Shaun is that he needs no one, nor will he ever be what lesser men mock about . His precision is deadly and he is unpredictable . But he is direct somewhat a diabolical approach that makes people fear and give him respect.
As for Celeste's death? He knew that he didn't care except for the one he had now . She was trouble in every shade you can see of her , just what Shaun likes . Meanwhile Mrs Reed and Eva were chatting about random stuff. It still didn't register with Mrs Reed that she was the girl that made her daughter eat paper and from Eva perspective it was fine. Mrs Reed wasn't a bad person, just that spoilt kids will always make it difficult for their parents . The door swung open ,Shaun leaned on the doorframe his casual yet striking outfit made Mrs Reed stop with her chat with me. He wore black pants,a loose silk shirt and black shoes with a black coat . His arm rested on the doorframe while he pouted at Eva shocking her but she gathered her wits ."Can we go home ?"she said carefully and he sighed then he waved his hand for her to come to him which she did . "I missed you honestly darling, did I come back to soon ?"he said and she shook her head. "No actually I missed you more , no we were just talking about paintings and other stuff right ?"she said to Mrs Reed who nodded her head smiling. Then Leister entered, and made his way to his wife ,kissing her cheek.
"Yes, we were talking about paintings. I wanted to invite her to Brianna painting launch but I didnt know how she woulld react." Mrs Reed said with a smile, she hoped that she would say yes.
"Sure ,why not ? When is the launch day ?"she asked while Shaun rolled his eyes at her kindness and she pinched his arm which seemed to have no effect at all ."Oh my okay I'm so glad you said yes. It's next week Saturday ."she replied and Eva smiled . "Yes but we have to go . Leister ,m' lady ."as if he couldn't wait to interrupt , Shaun said pulling Eva into his arms. "Please ,take your leave. We wouldn't want to disturb a couples time."Leister said and before his wife could say ,Shaun turned to leave while dragging along Eva . One thing was for certain, his patience has worn off and he wanted to know who the help kissed her to have that bruise ,that's what Eva thought but it wasn't the case for Shaun . He just didn't want to be there anymore, he hated overstaying in places where memories snd emotions would tire him out .
