“I know about the little game you and my sister are playing, but don’t worry, I won’t tell, as long as you’re careful” Monica added as Adia smiled in relief.
“Thanks”
“Hmm, come on ma’am, it’s time for dinner” Monica led Adia downstairs, who couldn’t fathom whatever she was feeling now, Monica and Monique, has been working for Sebastian’s family, since God knows when, what if they decide to blow her cover one day, besides they’ll be more loyal to their master not her, but nonetheless, she’s gonna be ready to face Sebastian.
“Adia” a voice echoed in the dinner hall, as Adia alighted the stairs, Monica alongside.
“Ace!!’ she exclaimed in surprise, she didn’t expect to see him.
” Sister-in-law” he called, engulfing Adia in a hug, the moment she stepped down.
” I didn’t expect to see you so soon, seeing you ghosted me for even a month, not even a phone call” Adia wrapped her arms around her bosom, wearing a frown on her face.
” I swear I asked after you everyday, but Sebastian never allowed me to come over, it seems as if he’s over protective of you” Ace grinned as Adia rolled her eyes inwardly.
Overprotecting my foot, Adia sneered in her thoughts, he didn’t even ask after her, during that one month, nor was he in the house.
Adia looked up and realized Ace was not the only guest present, Rowan and Sebastian were discussing something over a cup of coffee, a discussion that seemed so important, that they didn’t even spare her a glance.
While Arion sat on a sofa, his long legs stretched out, as he chewed gum lazily, ignoring her as well.
“I was about having dinner, do join me” Adia smiled inviting Ace, the only person that seems to acknowledge her presence in the house.
“Sure, I was already starving. ” Ace responded as they both sat opposite each other, ready to feast on the scrumptious meal served before them.
*****
Adia and Ace sat and gisted jovially about his travel to Florida as he told her about his trip, just then something hit Adia as she called for Ace’s attention.
“My birthday’s next week, it’s on a Saturday” Adia whispered to Ace happily, little did she know the peering ears of the vampires in the room caught what she said.
“Wow, that’s great,” Ace exclaimed.
“Well considering it’s also….”
“Can we talk about that some other time” Ace interrupted, stopping Adia, from whatever she was gonna say, he knew clearly well the others could hear their conversation, and the last thing he wanted was for Sebastian to get suspicious of whatever he planned with him, at least not yet.
“Okkkk” Adia stressed out, staring at him curiously.
“Do you wanna go out, I think you’ll be bored locked up in here” Ace proposed as Adia face lit up.
“Sure, where are we going?” Adia asked enthusiastically.
“Anywhere, fine by me”
“We can go explore the city” Adia suggested as Ace agreed right away.
“Sure, tomorrow”
“Sure”
“You’re so sweet Ace” Adia squealed, hugging him tight, he’s the only one who makes her feel at home here.
“You’re going Nowhere” a deep menacing voice, broke out, cutting Adia’s joy short.
“What..” Adia stuttered, staring at Sebastian in disbelief.
“I say you go nowhere, Ace” Sebastian called in a warning tone.
“But why, you can’t just keep me locked up in here” Adia complained getting up on her feet.
“Yes I can”
“No you can’t Sebastian hunters, I’m not a fucking slave” Adia complained, feeling like walking up to him, and punch him hard in the face.
“Mickelson, take her upstairs” Sebastian ordered, with a stoic face, not in the mood to argue with her.
” Don’t you dare touch me!” Adia yelled at Mickelson, as he ignored her.
” I swear, I’ll kill you if you come any closer” Adia threatened but Mickelson ignored her again.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
” Get lost” she screamed, as everyone focused on her, but she didn’t care as she stormed up to Sebastian.
” You can’t be serious” she sneered, as she stood in front of him, she couldn’t just keep her cool anymore, it was already getting out of hand.
“I am, Adia” he responded, not meeting her gaze as he continued working on his laptop, not giving a shit about her presence.
“You know what, I’m gonna leave this house tomorrow, and there’s not a damn thing you’ll do about it” Adia threatened, hoping to gain his attention but all her efforts were futile.
” Sebastian,” she called again.
” Sebastian” she called again but got no response, that got her furious as a new wave of anger rushed in.
” Listen to me for Christ sake” she yelled, grabbing his laptop away from him, as she held it tight.
“Adia, what the hell do you think you’re doing?” He queried angrily, his patience with her running thin.
“Getting your attention of course, now stay still and listen to me, or else I won’t hesitate to smash this laptop in pieces” Adia warned as Sebastian glared at her in disbelief, how dare a mere human threaten him.
He could have ignored her, and walked away, but his laptop contained important documents that had not yet been backed up.
“What do you want?” He finally gave in, as everyone stared at him in shock, Sebastian never gave in to anyone, their lifeless bodies would have already been on the floor by now.
“Three hours, just three hours to go out with Ace, and I’m sure he’ll protect me, right Ace?” Adia asked, diverting her attention to him.
“Sure, I can very much do that” he responded, ignoring Sebastian’s deadly glares.
“See, he’ll keep me safe, Mickelson can come along too”
” Adia..” Sebastian called giving her a warning glare, but she refused to be swayed, this time around.
” No, no don’t give me that look”
” What look?”
” This look” Adia explained a gloomy look plastered on her face as she imitated Sebastian, which earned a chuckle from Ace and Rowan, at the funny face she made.
” You always give me that look, whenever you want to bully me,” she continued.
“Bully you?” Sebastian asked, raising a brow at her.
” Yes, you’ve never been kind to me, since the day I stepped in, you don’t even spare me a glance” Adia began, but Sebastian was already getting bored with her, so he had no choice but to succumb to her demands.
” Three hours, be back before noon, my laptop” he reluctantly agreed, as he requested for his laptop.
“Thanks” Adia squealed happily, as she rushed to hug him, surprising Sebastian in the process.
“Sorry” Adia apologized, dropping the laptop on the table, as she rushed upstairs shyly, she never intended to hug him, she just allowed her joy, get the best of her.
“Oh, What a heartwarming moment” Arion chimed in sarcastically as he couldn’t help but curve his lips like a sky fox.
It felt so refreshing to see Sebastian being tossed around like this.
“Looks like I’m gonna spend a hell of a long time here” he added as he chuckled loudly.
