I watched as the lady I saw when I woke up disconnected the drip I was connected to after which she cleaned up the are with a soaked cotton wool
"I’ll help you go to the dining room" she smiled looking up to and I nodded as she helped get off the bed. My legs suddenly felt like jelly at first and I almost kissed the ground with my butt but thankfully her hold on was firm.
"To be honest I feel as if this house has turned into my second duty post, please recover quickly so I can stop coming over every second okay" she sighed as well got closer to the dinning table. I am not aware how stressful her career is but the fact that ever career is stressful can not be denied
"I’m sorry," I said fixing my glasses as I sat on the seat she drew out for
"No need to be, just eat properly and recover quickly, also don’t ever get ill then I’ll feel the sincerity of your apology" she smiled
"Are you threatening your patient by any chance?" I looked up to find the guy with red hair dressed in a casual sweater and a pair of black trousers walking down the stairs. His deep, hushed voice sent shivers down my spine as mories of that night returned, although I wanted to look away I suddenly felt hypnotized by his simple but yet alluring appearance.
"No..no I was...i was just trying to tell her to be extra careful with her health, since I’m done with the check-up I’ll take my leave," the doctor said taking to her heels
Well I guess she is also afraid of him, but why exactly are they scared of him?
He doesn’t look like a monster or anything, but still, I have to tread with care and study every single one of them if I actually want to successfully run away from here.
"Good evening brother" Xavier walked towards taking a seat beside just to be t by the cold eyes of his brother which turned my feet cold
"Why are you late for dinner?" Mr. Dean suddenly questioned
"You never ca for dinner so I never had to set a tir for it just like I usually do for breakfast" he murmured
"Excuse you?" Mr Dean responded in a soft yet threatening tone
"I was wrapping up my assignnt, I’m sorry for being late" Xavier quickly apologized but I doubt he ant it
"You must be well acquainted with our quest over here since you both attend the sa art class, so I’ll get straight to the point, Miss Carla.." he called and I look up to et his lazy eyes on "... you must be aware of the condition in which you were brought in here so I hope you don’t try anything stupid like you tried the previous night unless they would be consequences." I quickly adverted eye contact with him feeling my face burning up
"If you don’t know, then I must inform you that I hate wasting money, so I hope you don’t make regret bringing you into my house," he said in a cold tone that made feel like my soul was about to jump out of my body.
"He never speaks more than a hundred words a day but I guess today is different..I just hope I’ll be able to have a good night’s rest today or maybe I’ll be having a nightmare" hitting the plate before him with his cutleries, I heard Xavier murmured for the second ti just to be t by the death stare of his brother
"Can I eat now? I’m starving." he rolled his eyes, and I suddenly felt like I was in a building with a ticking bomb that was going to explode any second.
I looked up to find Mr Dean having a bite of his al, sa with Xavier, so I also picked up my cutleries.
But then..Why was my dish so different from theirs?
I’ve never been a fan of vegetables from a very young age, but here I have my entire plate filled with vegetables.
Am I a human being or a rabbit?
I twirled the spoon I was holding while looking at the unappetizing dish before while bitting the bottom of my lips thinking of what to do
If I don’t have at least a bite from the plate, it may seem rude, but the truth is I can’t bring myself to have a bite of it..id rather fast than do it.
"You don’t seem to like the dish" I looked up through my glasses to find Mr Dean looking down at
I opened my mouth to speak but couldn’t form words so I picked up the notebook Xavier had given earlier
"It’s not that I don’t like the dish, I don’t feel like having it" I lied through my teeths. Not even mother nature herself can convince to eat this dish that I can vouch for
"I see, might be the side effects of the drugs you were administered. Buttler!" He called and a man who seed to be in his fifties dressed in a formal attire made his way toward us before bowing slightly
"Please ask the chef to make a more simple and healthy dish for her, because she’s currently lacking appetite," he instructed, and the butler made his way towards the kitchen.
Weird. Am I getting special treatnt or is this just him being an angel
"Wonderful, he suddenly seems quite observant all of a sudden" our comntator added
"Xavier, isn’t this year supposed to be your final year?" Xavier suddenly choked on his glass of water. Soone never seen to learn.
"Yes"
"Then what are your plans? Do you still plan on living under my roof even after your graduation?" Mr Dean’s question and the temperature in the room dropped
"We..well I do have my plans, I’ll show them to you in a presentation format after my graduation which is in a few months from now" he answered not lifting his face from his plate.
Are they truly brothers or was he also bought by Nix Dean?
"Since Carla attends the university as you make sure you take care of her since you’re her senior," he said before taking his leave from the dining table
"Take care of her my foot I just feel like kicking him in the face" Xavier cursed dropping his cutleries "Don’t get deceived by his good nature, this is just him showing his good side, his devilish side is even much worse than you can imagine" he sighed leaving the dining table as well.
one can say they are enemies rather than brothers just from one look.
"I miss you so much, Grandma," I sighed, resting my head on the table.
For so reason, I find myself between the devil and the deep blue sea as I’m still unaware of who this Nix Dean is and what he wants from .
It’s so weird that soone like him would be willing to pay a huge sum of money for soone like , who would neither bring him any benefit but only bring him more trouble.
Could there be more to be more to what’s happening that I am unaware of?
What could his motives be for keeping a mute girl like in his residence?
"you must be aware of the condition in which you were brought in here so I hope you don’t try anything stupid like you tried the previous night unless they would be consequences" I heard his voice and suddenly felt chilly.
Neither do I want to stay, nor can I run.
What could be the consequences he spoke of?
I guess until I can find a suitable answer to all my questions, I’ll have to stay in this house and discover the connection between and Mr Dean or maybe him and my adoptive family since no explanation can make total sense to as of the mont.
"Madam" I looked up to find Juliet hold a plate and a gentle smile "You food is prepared" she placed the dish before and was about to take her leave
It wouldn’t be a bad idea to make a friend would it?
I tapped on the chair beside and I could blankly see her refuse. I pick up the pen and sheet I used earlier
"Please spend so ti with I feel lonely" I showed her
"I don’t mind spending ti with you madam but taking a seat at the dining table of the master can lead to losing my job" hearing her call madam felt cranky especially since she was older then .
"Please refer to as Carla and I was the one who asked you to seat with . But if you don’t feel comfortable how about we go sowhere you are comfortable with?" I looked up to her and could tell she was already giving up.
"Okay I’ll seat but not for long okay?" I smiled giving her a thumbs up before digging into my dish
"I don’t an to sound rude.." I looked up Juliet to find her fiddling with the hemming of her skirt "Can you actually speak?" She looks up to with curiosity filled eyes and a chuckle escaped my mouth before I nodded
"Oh, I’m sorry if it made you feel uncomfortable but..it’s just that I have never heard you speak" I waved her off. I’ve been asked this sa question In different circumstances and honestly her manner of asking felt more appealing.
"So..how did you and Master get together? If you don’t mind asking .. actually I over heard other staffs saying that he’s had a clean slate and has never brought a lady ho so you’re the first" well I actually have the sa question.
How did I and their Master get entangled ? But even I don’t have that answer so I shrugged my shoulders still maintaining my smile and could see her sigh with a pout
"Must be love at first sight then" I heard her say and suddenly choked on my food. "Oh my goodness sorry, have a glass of water" she brought the glass close to my lips while I tried to gulp it down.
Any order circumstances I could accept but love.. that’s like the most impossible scenario to think about.
