For the first time I let a girl sleep peacefully on my bed which was still unbelievable to me, it felt like I was sharing my body with someone else and maybe the other person had carried Clara from the gate to my room and placed her on my bed. "But why am I not reacting?" This was the question I kept on asking my self but there was no answer. I had been sitting by the edge of my bed watching Clara while she was sleeping and now I was also feeling sleepy, I needed to rest. For a moment I thought of sleeping on my bed, beside Clara but Immediately I shook off the idea off my head and decided to sleep on the couch instead. I got up to leave but she turned and I froze, my heart began to beat fast like I had done something wrong. Luckily She faced the other side of the room and within a second, she was fast asleep again. I walked to my wardrobe, took out another blanket and went to lie on the couch, though I wasn't feeling comfortable because the couch was quite small and hard. I jolted
Leo's attitude towards me was quite fascinating, never have I thought that he could be all this caring and calm. I always thought he had grudges for me and now he has proven it to be wrong but I was still scared that he might change suddenly and the beast in him might return very soon so I wanted to leave and he refused. I walked slowly to his bathroom with pain all over my body, I checked his drawer for the supposed brushes Leo said he had but I couldn't find it, instead I saw various type of body cleaning agent, sanitizers... I was about to leave when I looked up and saw something like a box and opened it there were lot of new brushes just as he had said but they were all black in color. "Devil" I whisper and took out one. The tooth paste wasn't difficult to locate, I applied some on the brush stood in front of the tap brushing my teeth thoroughly while I looked at the mirror. After I was done, I went to lie on the bed again."How am I suppose to have my bath in his bathroom, that'
LEO'S POVI was so angry with myself for what I had done, what was I actually thinking when I carried Clara on my lap in the presence of those maid and all she could do was embarrass me. Even while we ate, the courage to look up at her or even talk to her wasn't there. I wanted to find a way to just leave the room, if possible disappear after noticing that she was looking at me, it seemed like she knew how embarrassed I was but still decided not to apologize. I was almost done with my food which I had been forcing myself to eat and wondered if she noticed that also. Suddenly I remembered that I was suppose to go and check on my guard and rose up immediately, walking towards the door with hands in my pocket. "She won't even ask where I was headed?" I said aloud while going down the stairs. On getting to my guard room, I saw him entering the mansion through the main door with an envelope in his left hand. My cheeks curled into a smile and turned back into a frown within a second. I co
Clara was so annoying, I wondered if this was how much she hates me. I have been looking after her since yesterday and didn't even get a thank you, talk more of a hug. "To hell with her" I let out a scoff, heading to my bathroom to have a shower. My mind was made up never to be bothered about her any longer, she was just my maid after all. Hours passed and Clara didn't come back, even when I ordered for my dinner she didn't come with the maids. "Seems like she wasn't fully enlightened about her job" I whispered the moment I saw the maids entering and Clara was no where to be seen. After eating dinner, I brought out her diary and began to read. The next page drew my attention so bad because it wasn't about het normal daily activities, neither was it about her life. The heading was boldly inscribed "The features I want in a guy" I read slowly, unawareness that I was reading it aloud. "Is this some kind of joke? Do people actually do this? What a waste of time" I laughed out loud, fli
During the meeting I chose the able bodied men that were going to accompany me for the attack, while the rest were to work from a distance and others from the meeting room . The maps was duplicated and enough to go round for everybody to study from now till tomorrow. Some spies were also sent to the blood moon estate, they were to report tomorrow morning on how things went there over night and tomorrow morning. No doubt that tomorrow's attack was going to be a dangerous one because, majority of the Blood moon lives in the estate so once they find out about their presence, they wouldn't hesitate to attack from different angles. That's why I wanted to ensure that we go into the leader's mansion without a lot of them noticing. After I was done, someone reminded me of the young boys I was going to be training. "Tell them to meet me at the field in twenty minutes" I replied, getting up from my chair and headed to my car. I drove slowly to the field, taking time to look at the surrounding
CLARA'S POVLeo kept on avoiding eye contact with me while he suddenly froze after seeing me with my diary. He had been standing by the door which was still open, no doubt that he was obviously thinking of what to say but this was so unlike him. "Why would he be in this situation because I found my diary under his pillow" I thought, dropping the diary back on the bed and continue to mop the floor. Leo was really acting strange today. I entered his room earlier today and he didn't notice , even though I had been walking behind him the whole time. I concentrated on what I was mopping, hoping that he might say something about it. I finally heard the door close, followed by his footsteps which was too loud. My ears were itchy as I waited patiently for Leo to talk but instead he walked past me without mentioning a word. " Wow! I whispered, the almighty Leo has suddenly gone dumbstruck because of my diary, isn't that bewildering. He threw my diary on his desk and began to remove his shi
I have never been this humiliated in my life. "What did Leo take me for when he kissed me?" I asked myself, feeling so used and dumped like trash. My eyes had become moist and tears threatened to drop while I tried to resist, because some maid passing by were looking, while others were gossiping. I was boiling in anger, clueless on how to react to this embarrassing action of Leo. My hand tightened into a fist and I felt like opening the door and going over to hit him all over his body until blood began to gush out badly, but I couldn't because it will be the opposite at the end. I stood at a spot, looking dumbstruck and confused on what to do. " I hate you! Leo" I screamed before using my leg to hit the door and ran away leaving the mop and bucket by his door. While I rushed down the stairs, the tears I had been holding back began to drop on my hot red cheeks in full force as I tried wiping them continuously. On getting to my room, it was lock which made me wonder who had locked i
LEO'S POVToday is the day, the day Black Dragon was finally going to show the Blood Moon who the real bossed were, if everything goes as planned. My mind hadn't been at rest ever since Clara left my room, her words were like torments to me. For the first time, I was scared about going for an operation. I was restless because of the fear of not seeing someone anymore. "What if something goes wrong and I end up not coming back?" This question kept on repeating itself in my ears. I knew it was all because of Clara, but it was difficult to admit. I had been in my room the whole day, desperate to see Clara before leaving but she didn't come. Evening came sooner than I expected and it was time to strike. My guard came to check on me and we ended up leaving my room together, heading to the father's house where all our members were waiting patiently. By the time I got there, they were all set and we left after I gave certain instructions. We were dressed in black trousers, black shirts, a
