Chapter 11
“What are you doing out this late?” It was Rowan asking and Chase just stared at me with a straight face.
“Uhmm… I, just came to grab some water” I replied biting my lower lips.
“Water isn’t in the sitting room rather in the kitchen” Chase snapped and start walking to my direction.
I stood there wishing the ground could open and cover me. The only thing in my mind is the punishment he’ll give me.
I could’ve just stay in the room instead of coming out here and to add to it, I just lied.
I shallow the saliva in my mouth and waited for the worst.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Chase got to where I was standing and without a word he walked upstairs leaving me standing there with Rowan looking at me.
Rowan waited until Chase disappear into his room before he turn to me.
“I know you lied” He calmly said and walks towards me.
“You’re the lady I bumped into early, huh?” He asked and I just nodded finding it hard to look him in the eyes.
“Am Rowan, I’m sure you know me” he smiled and that was when I noticed his white gap set of teeth.
I didn’t see this earlier because I was in a hurry when I bumped into him, but I just noticed how handsome he is.
“Calista” I told him.
“You should go to bed. Chase won’t be lit with you if he comes down and see you again” he said and I nodded.
I turned and immediately dash up to the room.
I shut the door behind me and slowly walk to the bed, the heavy lump I felt in my heart seems to have disappear.
I wasn’t sure if Chase will do anything or just ignore but I’m scared of him.
Despite him being handsome, his face isn’t always the one you could think of messing with.
He’s always keeping this strict face that you can hardly read. I decided to just forget thinking of him and go to sleep.
The ray sun from window shines to my eyes and I opened my eyes.
“Good Morning” I said to Sophia and Isabella when I saw them walking out of the bathroom dripping wet, obviously they just finish their bath.
“You’re awake, go take your bath. Chase wants all of us downstairs” Sophia said to me.
My heart spank, and the only thing I can think of is about what I did last night.
I didn’t do anything wrong though, he just saw me downstairs while others are asleep but why is my heart beating faster than usual.
“Is everything okay?” I asked biting my lower lips in curiousity.
“I don’t know. One of his personal guard came in here to announce that our presence are needed. So, go get ready”
I nod and slowly walk out of the bed. My leg is kinda heavy for me to carry but I managed to reach the bathroom, I stare at my reflection in the bathroom mirror and sighed.
I felt my beauty fading away, I can’t even see the happy girl in me again.
The only thing I see is the girl who has to do anything to satisfy another so she can be free. A caged girl that has no say of her own.
I removed my clothes and turn on the shower. It took my seven minutes to be done and I walked out of the room with Sophia and Isabella.
Sophia and Isabella chatted all along but I couldn’t even say a word, each step I takes makes my heart beat faster.
Was the meeting called so he can decide my punishment?
“You okay Calista? You’ve been dull since you woke up” Isabella asked and I forced a smile.
“I’m done, just had a little fever” I lied and she nodded.
We got downstairs and I realized Amelia and her crew are already there with her acting all bossy as if trying to seducing someone.
Well, of course she said she’s interested in Chase.
Chase wasn’t in the sitting room yet so we had to wait, and my heart still wasn’t beating normal.
Soon Rowan came downstairs and when our eyes meet he smiled at me before walking out of the building after saying hi to everyone.
“Did he just smiled at me? OMG! I wished that was Chase smiling at me” Amelia whined and I scoff.
Sophia turned to me and whispered,
“Have you meet Rowan before now? I noticed the eye contact” She raised her brow and I couldn’t bring myself to lie to her.
I have already lied alot recently.
“Yes, Yesterday. I bumped into him when I was walking out of Chase’s room” I told her and she nodded smiling.
“It’s not what you’re thinking though” I told her seeing her blush even more. She didn’t say a word and just nodded.
Seconds later, I sighted Chase walking down the stairs, and I went to stand behind Isabella.
Literally I’m scared of him and whatever he had to say.
And again, he’s dressed in black and have a brown glove on.
He’s still looking like the Greek god in him I saw when he came to my parents apartment.
“Good morning” everyone said, I was thinking far so I wasn’t able to say good morning too.
Chase’s eyes meet mine but he immediately looked away.
The expression on his face is undefined and that makes the air more tense.
He went and sat down and we just stood looking at him, I was standing at the back though.
He cleared his throat and looked up to all of us.
“Five of you will be leaving to the quarters today. New set are coming in and i need you all to be out. Only one person can stay” he said calmly.
Amelia seductively touched her self in an attempt for him to notice him and perhaps let her stay. I scoffed again, everything she does disgust me.
She brings herself so down just for a man that is not even interested, a man that didn’t even care if she exists.
I was relieved that the call was not to talk about last night or about me, but about something.
I literally felt my heart start beating normal and I prayed I’ll be among the girls to be moved but his next word left me shocked.
“Only Calista Raymonds can stay”
He said and all eyes turned to me.
What? I forced myself not to say it out.
The eyes prying into mine could kill me for a sec especially that of Amelia.
Including Sophia and Isabella’s expression is tensed and I wondered why.
Is there anything to gain staying here in the main apartment as a slave?
