"God this is magnificent," Hadley exclaimed looking around the penthouse and Maurice creased his eyebrow in surprise.
Why does she look so excited over a penthouse? I do not think I ever remember Gilbert being short on money so what is going on with their princess acting like a puppet, Maurice pondered."God look at this amazing city view," Hadley jumped in excitement skipping to the glass window that showed the full view of the city below and she couldn't help but yelp in excitement.A/N: Ok, the countryside's much, she is so obvio.The night was complemented with the bright illuminated moon and the city street light accompanying the magnificent view and Hadley couldn't help but exclaim in excitement because of the amazing view."OMG these rich people really know how to spend money," Hadley exclaimed happily not knowing she said it out loud but a voice behind her froze her immediately."Rich people? I do not remember Gilbert being poor," Maurice says looking at the girl that had decided to take on the form of a statue of liberty.Hadley's head was in serious dilemma as she heard Maurice's words. What have you done, Hadley? How could you get flustered and say that out loud," Hadley scolded herself in her head and Maurice waited for the girl's explanation.If it was another day that the cold Maurice doesn't care he would have not given a damn about the girl but this girl in front of him seems off. She is not like the girl he had heard off.Ella Gilbert definitely does not look like this and maybe doesn't act like this."This place just really looks great and moreover since it is your place, I should compliment it right?" Hadley says lying through her teeth hoping the man in front of her would believe it.Maurice stared long and hard at the woman that was looking everywhere but not him and he smirked not saying anything."What was that? He asked me a question but he just walked away," Hadley says glaring at Maurice's retreating back."He is arrogant," Hadley thought but her eyes turned crazy immediately. "But he is handsome," she says, biting her lips naughtily.Living in the countryside for a long time has not really be helpful because she got amazed by a lot of things and maybe also help a lot of people she should not have trust."Where am I going to sleep?" Hadley pondered looking around the large bedroom and she settled her eyes on the big bed.She doesn't know why the bed seems so tempting at that time but she felt herself longing for a jump on it."Of course Mr Elliot would not be so petty to want to share the bed with me," Hadley says, bouncing on the soft bed and she exhaled softly when her back landed on the bed.She had always shared a bed with her mother growing up back in the countryside but laying on the soft bed was enough to send comfort through her soul.Hadley's breathing almost turned soft as she slowly drifted into the Dreamland but a cold voice interrupted her peaceful breathing."What are you doing?" Maurice's cold voice inquired and Hadley jolted out of her sleep wondering if the world was coming to an end but instead of seeing the building crashing she saw Maurice's stony face."Ok what have I done this time?" Laura pondered looking at the man in front of her.Maurice knew it was pointless talking to the woman but he doesn't why he wanted to say everything to her. He just wanted to let her know that she doesn't belong anywhere and it is not why he has to make that statement known."I don't know what this looks like to you but it's obvious I am trying to catch some sleep," Hadley says, shrugging her shoulders, slumping back on the bed but the man looked so pissed."Get up!!" Maurice roared and that jerked Hadley up from her bed in fear.Why is this man behaving like a volcano? Hadley pondered looking at the man that seemed like he was ready to pounce on her."I would be the one sleeping in the bed since I can not sleep anywhere else without feeling uncomfortable," Maurice says, and Hadley looked at him like he had lost some screws in his head."I never see a man like this," Hadley blurted before she could stop herself but the man just snorted, giving her the looks.Hadley knows there is nothing she can do except to leave the bed for him since her father has make don't cause trouble with his anthem.Hadley breathes in and out trying to calm her nerves and she decided to make her way out of the bed but her legs got tangled with the sheets and she immediately lost her balance and she was sent flying to the ground but Hadley saw Maurice standing upright and she had a tiny of hope, he was going to help her.Maurice saw the woman falling towards him and his head raised a danger alarm, she couldn't touch him he had to move out of the way."Pah," the loud sound of Hadley crashing to the ground as Maurice stepped away from Hadley. "Ahhh ahhh," Hadley let out an ear-deafening scream as she satiated on the pain that the fall impacted on her.She raised up her head as she glared at the man that could have helped her."You this asshole!! Who in the world let a person fall when they could have helped except a crazy PSYCHOPATH!!" Hadley shrieked, throwing her composure out of the window and her breath felt ragged because of the strenuous activity she just engaged in.Fuck her father's lecture she so much wanted to yanked the rude man's hair, Hadley thought as she glared at him.Maurice's expression looks ghastly as he hears Hadley's outburst. How could a lady of an aristocrat be so unruly, Maurice pondered as his nose flamed up in anger."Are you this angry because I didn't help you?" Maurice asked through gritted teeth wanting to be petty and Hadley snorted."Then I think I should lay down some rules for you," he said and Hadley wondered what the man was up to.What rules?" Hadley stood up from the floor as she looked into the man's eyes which in return lead to Maurice taking some steps back because of the closeness and Hadley almost lose it."Don't touch my things, stay at least 3 meters away from me ,and most importantly don't touch me," Maurice bellowed, and Hadley was taken aback by what he said.She shouldn't have touched him?That was hella of rules.Hadley gulped at the newly laid rules and the room suddenly felt suffocated to her. The rules aren't much but why does it feel so hard and unimaginable to her.Married couples won't touch each other? Hadley pondered looking at the man that was avoiding her like a plague.Looks more serious than I thought, hardly whispering in her head as she gulps."So you mean I can't touch you? Not even a little?" Hadley inquired, poking her head forward but a glare from Maurice stopped her actions."I know you are not really daft not to understand my words so I am going to implore Miss Ella not to go overboard," Maurice says but Hadley knew that he was threatening her.Maurice looked at the girl that was looking at him with a Stony face and he wondered if she was really the docile Ella he knew."Ok," Hadley answered through gritted teeth and she let out an awkward smile. "Good I was scared that you don't have a comprehensive mind," Maurice says walking to the bed as he lies on it.Hadley turned al
Hadley looked at the man that was just staring at her suspiciously and she wondered if something was wrong with him.Is he deaf?"I am sorry Miss but I don't understand what you are saying," the man says with a soothing voice that suddenly makes Hadley self-aware.How does a man's voice sound so smooth while mine sounds like a frog's?"You.. You bumped into me and my ice cream fell as a result," Hadley explained and she thanked the heavens her voice didn't betray her.The man in front of us was messing with her head. She has never met a handsome blond before but the man in front of her looks extraordinary."Ohh sorry I didn't notice I was actually in a rush, did you get hurt?" He asked, his face laced with worry and Hadley let out an embarrassed smile."No, I wasn't hurt?" She answered and the man looked at her in shock. "You aren't hurt?" He asked not believing that she could go to that extra length because of ice cream but what he doesn't know is that Hadley was pettier than he coul
"What are you saying?" Hadley asked, her voice firm betraying the tons of emotion that were running through her mind."I think you should be the one telling me what's wrong," Maurice says, walking towards Hadley and she kept shifting back in fear until her back hit the wall and had nowhere to run with Maurice standing almost 3 meters away from her she knows it better to stay still than bumping into him."I.. don't know what you are talking about," Hadley stuttered and Maurice squint his eyes suspiciously not believing her but he decided to forgo it.She was weird so there was no reason to be weirder."Ok," Maurice says walking out of the room but Hadley's voice halted his steps."Why are you here? Don't tell me you wanted to sleep in my room?" Hadley exclaimed and Maurice wondered when the docile Ella Gilbert turns into a clown."No I wasn't here to sleep with you," Maurice says emphasizing on the sleep and Hadley scoffed. "I am here to tell you that you would start your internship at
"It's okay," Hadley answered, bored knowing Maurice wasn't asking because he feels like it. Maurice looked around the slumped shoulder of the woman in front of him and he wondered why he felt like she was shouldering a heavy load."I am sure my sister-in-law would find her way out by using her card as your wife," Carolina says knowing Maurice hates it when someone acts dirty like that, she was literally digging a put for Hadley."What? Did you do that?" Maurice asked his voice grave but Hadley didn't even give him a glance."I hope I can do that but I don't want some crazy girl on my back. I heard you are one of the most eligible bachelors in town? I love my head so I would keep it intact," Hadley says and at that time the elevator opened and Hadley stepped out."Then goodbye Mr. Elliot and ..," Hadley trailed looking at Carolina without mentioning her name till the elevator door closed up.Hadley sighed heavily when she saw the door closed and her expression was complicated."It's a
Hadley looked at Maurice eyes wide open and she wondered how she was going to lie her way through this."I..was..I mean..that was..," Hadley stuttered trying to find the plausible lie that she could find but she found none because was she going to say she stopped being allergic to strawberry overnight?Maurice looked at Hadley who was having hard time processing her thought as she bit her lips hard and he smirked not understanding what was going wrong but he knew one thing for sure something was definitely going wrong."What did you mean? I am not allergic to strawberry," Hadley says, trying her luck because she knew Ella and Maurice were not close before their marriage so there was no way he would know about her allergy."Really? That was not what was in the report I got the other day," Maurice says, amused, rubbing his pink lips and Hadley eyes widened.Report? He had his fiancee checked? She gulped at the realization that her lies might have been caught but she still put up a swee
The whole family looked at Maurice in shock not believing what he just said because it was just not believable. How could he say there were no rashes despite the physical touch?He had had the disorder for so many years. How could he get cured of it overnight? And with just a touch?It was hard to believe. They knew better than anyone how he struggled with the disorder for years.They knew how he consulted different therapists and psychologists because of the disorder so what now."What did you mean, Maurice?" Maurice's mother asked walking towards her son and her eyes were already dampened with tears.She can not just believe what she just heard but the spotless face of her son after the physical touch was already enough proof that it was true.Hadley looked at the scene in front of her and she felt like she should just disappear because she just does not understand what was going on.Why are they fussing over small body contact? She could just apologize if it was going to become an
Hadley looked at Maurice and she wondered what was going on in his head. She knew she could not convince herself that what she did was nothing but she must not believe it.She can not tie herself to the family by being what they just assumed she was because she would be leaving soon and that was it."I don't know what you are trying to believe Mr Elliot but it's definitely not what you are thinking," Hadley says firmly and she avoids Maurice's face.Maurice looked at the woman that was trying all her might to not keep a gaze with him and he noticed that she was struggling with herself.Like she was battling with something and he was going to find out."I still think you were different," Maurice says and before Hadley could counterattack Maurice grabbed her hand and Hadley shrieked at the sudden body contact."What the fuck are you doing?" She shrieked looking for any possible rashes on Maurice's body and it was true the rashes were there.They appeared again.Hadley looked at the rash
After the scenario at the ancestral mansion entrance and everyone was sure that the family was no longer acting up, the whole family decided to go in and settle to have dinner.Hadley looked at the big dining hall and she wondered if they were going to have other people joining them because it just can not be only the Elliot family going to dine in the big dining hall. Maybe that is the way of the rich, Hadley thought.The maids started dishing the food and Hadley already started salivating seeing so much food. Did she say that she was angry? Then she was no more angry not after seeing so much feast."Ella," grandpa Elliot called and Hadley teared her eyes away from the food to look at the man. "You really did great today," the man complimented and Hadley felt awkward.Why are they all making it hard for her, she pondered and she saw that almost all of the family were looking at her with grateful eyes.Carolina that witnessed the show of appreciation was beyond angry and she cursed Ha
