I opened my eyes just to be t by a charming soul but everything felt a bit blurry
As the soft glow of the fading sunlight bathed the room I was in,a fine young man erged, his presence casting a captivating aura. With a commanding height that spoke of strength and confidence, he stood so feets away from the bed I was lying at, his gaze penetrating yet enigmatic. His fiery red hair frad a face chiseled with rugged charm, accentuating the intensity of his gray eyes that seed to hold a universe of stories.
As the sunlight danced upon his features, shadows played across his defined jawline, creating an intriguing contrast. Dressed impeccably, he embodied a fusion of style and substance, a manifestation of every girl’s dream including mine.
His deanor exuded a quiet allure, leaving an indelible impression on .
But sothing about him felt familiar although I have never t with him
Am I dead and did I end up sowhere in-between life and death with such a breathtaking angel about to pronounce judgnt on ?
But wait aren’t angels supposed to have wings or sothing? And how co this one is dressed so formally? Do they also wear such clothes here?
My eyes felt too heavy so I closed them back trying to get my strength back and comprehend what was going on but it just felt like I was being drawn into a dark hole.
I could suddenly hear soone calling my na,so I opened my eyes to find soone pointing a touch in my eye and waving their hand,but I couldn’t make out who it was as everything looked blurry to
Is it because I didn’t have my glasses on? I wondered trying to give an explanation to my I have been having these blurry visions.
But I could at least see things this close to so why is everything suddenly so different now?
I blinked a few tis and everything slowly beca clearer and I found a lady looking at with smile. I felt a cold liquid flowing through my left hand and a huge pen on my left thumb.
The beeps of machines could be head repeatedly in the room and for so reason I found it annoying
"Shouldn’t the oxygen mask be taken off now? Or can’t she breath without it?" I heard the voice of the person who grabbed my hand while I was running and turned to find a familiar figure,he almost had similar looks with the man I saw earlier when I first opened my eyes but the difference was he had dark hair and light brown eyes and also looked abit younger than the first man I saw,even his height and deanour was different
"Carla I’ll be taking off your oxygen mask,if you find it hard to breathe then give a nod if you don’t then don’t respond" she said with the nicest smile I’ve ever received before taking off the oxygen mask I was wearing
’But where exactly am I?’ I looked up to find myself in a spacious room..and the mories of the last night flooded in which led to unconsciously touching my lips. I look up at the person beside wondering if he was the sa person from last night but i wasn’t convinced enough because their voices sounded different.
Ah! Carla you haven’t even spent up to twenty four hours here and you’ve started kissing I wonder what would happen if I spend anymore ti here.
"Her vitals her normal,just feed her and give her the dications I have prescribed and she’ll return to her full health in no ti." The lady’s voice interrupted my thoughts
"Alright" he said with a smile
"No need to see off, I’ll take my leave now,call if anything cos up" the lady said making her way towards the door.
"Hello Carla,do you recognize ?" I slowly sat up shifting my gaze from the lady who is about to take her leave to him as I tried to rember where I saw him
"Ha..have..we..t before?" I managed to ask and he nodded picking up a pen and a long note as he handed my glasses
"You can write down your thoughts here if you find it hard to interact with .
So let introduce, I’m Xavier Dean and I attend the sa university with you,also we’re in the sa departnt"he smiled
No wonder he looks familiar
’What am I doing here?’ I wrote down on the paper he handed and raised it up for him to read
"Rember why you were running? Because you wanted to run away from those people..well it turns out my brother was the one you were sold to"
Excuse you? I don’t get what you’re trying to say,I wanted to scream but for so reason I couldn’t help but stare at his face as he smiled
"So don’t freak out okay,and from what I know staying here is the safest for you"he took a seat at the bed end while staring imnsely at
"Damn! Does she even understand what I’m saying?" He suddenly stood to his feet tilting his head to the side
"I’m not dumb,I just find it hard to express myself sotis" I voiced out finding his comnt annoying
"Wow,she’s also sharp tongued what a match made in heaven or maybe hell"he faced smiling from side to side and I raised an eyebrow questioning what he was hitting at
"If you want to live peacefully in this house then I’ll be giving you so tips.
The first thing you need to do is forget about running away, secondly,with ti you’ll get used to the way things are done here but untill then,if you don’t want to get thrown out nor punished then avoid one person ’Nix Dean’ who is my elder brother and your savior or offender or maybe the devil..what ever you see him as.
To be honest,he can be a demon or an angel whichever he pleases to be but most tis he’s a demon so be careful"
Is he actually dissing his brother before or truly worried about ? I couldn’t help but ask myself as I look up to be t by his wild eyes
"Nix Dean is usually ho from 9pm to 8am,so try your best to avoid those hours okay, rember the story of the big bad wolf and the three piglets?" I nodded in response as my curiosity got the better of
"He is the big bad wolf and you,I and one more person are the three piglets so make sure you avoid him unless we’ll all lose our houses" he said with folded hands "And one more thing, we usually have breakfast at 7:30 so please make sure you’re at the dinning table even if you’re not hungry please,I beg you to be there to prevent the third world war from breaking out in this very house and no midnight snaking after 10pm,he can send one to jail for that if they are caught.."
Jail really? Why exaggerate? I said inwardly
"So good luck and welco to Nix Dean’s house" he showed two thumbs up as he made his way out of the room closing the door behind him.
To be more precise I just landed in house which I believe is much better than the one I was living in but more of a prison? I guess.
Destiny surely knows how to shoot it’s shot.
As if taking grandma wasn’t enough,I had to get sold off to a man who’s more like a demon and sotis an angel according to the description I was given by my so called Uncle and aunt. I turned to left to find my hand connected to another IV drip and I sighed trying to co up with a plan to break myself free.
Xavier was surely right about one thing,the safest place I could be at right now is this house,but I don’t plan on staying here forever,I surely need to co up with sothing,but what given my situation?
I reached out to the side of the bed and picked up my phone to find a lot of missed calls from Suzy and editor Damian
"He.."
"Carla are you okay? Were you able to get away from them? Where are you" Suzy panicked from the other end of the phone and I suddenly felt at a lose
"I’m okay" I said and I could hear her sign in relief
"That’s good news to my ear,but where are you staying? I even had to reach out to your editor to check if you were with him but he said no"
Well if you let speak I’ll tell you everything in details,why did I even have to be created with such a phycological patient?
According to the psychiatrist I wasn’t born that way and it was due to a traumatic event,but for so reason I can’t rember that event nor overco it.
"I’m at the house of the person I was sold to"
"What?!" She scread and I had to extend my hand from my ear a bit
"I’ll..I’ll also be staying here for a few days so don’t worry,it’s not as back as we thought" I smiled doubting if what I actually said is true especially after hearing what the strange man of yesterday said
"I hope so,call if anything happens okay I’ll try talking with my friends as well"
"Okay..bye" I ended the call to find a ssage from editor Damian
’Suzy told what happened with you,I don’t want you to feel pressured about your book I’ll try my best to calm the readers.
Make sure to take care of yourself and call if you need any help’ it read and the smile on my face suddenly drained.
Everyone is ready to take my side and support but can I actually help myself?
Will I be able to survive living with the so called Nix Dean or will I be succumbed to running away?
Well only ti can tell.
A knock on the door called for my attention and I looked up to find a lady dressed in a maid uniform
"Madam,I am the one the master as placed in charge of taking care of you. Please feel free to reach out to if you need my assistance with anything or you want anything" she said with her head bowed.
Madam?
That title felt kind of off because I shared no relationship with their master
"What.. what is..what is your na?" I inquired with a raised eyebrow
"Juliet "
