Something was spinning in the back of my head that hurt from the intensity. My throat feels dry. And, all I could see was darkness. A single point of light appeared when I moved my very heavy eyes. I squinted my eyes to adjust to the dim light that entered. I held my breath a moment later as I looked around the vast room that surrounded me. This room is spacious and luxurious, elegant and really classy. In front of me was a view of the skyscrapers of New York night presented on a glass wall. The glass wall took up a quarter of the space at the front of the room. The other walls are decorated with a dark palette : silver, dark gray and black with several frames containing monochrome abstract paintings. The sofa is located a little away from the bed, close to the glass wall. Then, no more furniture. I turned to the side and saw that there was an IV line standing next to the bed, and an IV line connected to my hand. Not only that that surprised me, I also turned out to be wearing an
After dinner I do nothing. I already want to go back to my apartment, it's better than spending the night here. But Rhysand wouldn't let me. The reason he used it was because I was still completely recovered, and IVs weren't allowed for long trips. I fought him, took my IV to the door but what happened was he locked the door. So all I did was sleep on the bed, with my head spinning while playing with my phone; replied to a message from Gabriella who was worried about me. This is really boring. I can't spend time lying in bed doing nothing. What's more, I'm sure that this time I can't sleep. I've been unconscious for twelve hours, and I have no doubt that tonight I'll spend the rest of the night awake until tomorrow morning. The medicine Rhysand gave me after I ate it didn't even make my eyes heavy at all. "Why aren't you sleeping? It's almost midnight, Amanda." Rhysand's musk voice sounded as he entered. I put down my phone, turned to Rhysand who wasn't wearing his jeans anymore.
When I woke up at exactly eleven o'clock in the afternoon, I couldn't believe how good and sound I had slept. After the last few days of not being able to sleep without the help of sleeping pills, and the pressure I feel on my head, I'm quite surprised that just by the lewd things Rhysand did, he managed to get me back into a deep sleep. What he had taken. I glanced at my hand which felt light, and my IV was gone. Whether Rhysand's personal doctor will be here and examine me, I really don't know. I slept like a fainted man. And that embarrassed me. I sat myself up, staring at the New York daylight scene in front of my eyes for a moment. Feel that my head is light and my body is not shivering like yesterday. Then, I moved my feet to the side of the bed. I don't know what I'm going to do right now because it's eleven o'clock in the afternoon, and I can't possibly come to the office, right? Especially after what Rhysand asked: to be his assistant, and... I don't know what I was think
Rhysand did not return to the table to finish his lunch. He drifted off to nowhere while talking on the phone, and I ended up eating my own lunch. I took a breath, drank the mineral water all the way through, and then looked around this place. Luxurious and very classy place. For Rhysand del Millero is an easy thing to have. But I...I have to try harder to do it. Well, even though I was born into a conglomerate family, that doesn't mean I can ask my mom and dad whatever I want. Not that they are stingy. The reason was because I was already working, and I was sure I could raise my own money. Wouldn't it be even more fun to buy something that we dream of with our own hard work? I've always wanted to do that. Especially after seeing Bellva. The younger sister of that bastard is one of the female figures I admire right now. She can build her own business and her dream without anyone's help. Well, I hope my dream comes true. And that means I have to work hard. But I don't know if I
I immediately moved quickly when my first job at this company was finished.It was already six in the afternoon when I got out and got into the taxi I called. I breathed a sigh of relief as the feeling of freedom inside of me was felt. Like a prey free from a predator, that's how I feel.The notification sound rang again on my phone. And I growled when I saw the message from Jordan was there. This is not the first time, but several times in the past day. I chose not to reply or respond to his calls. It's not a revenge, but...Somehow I wasn't in the mood to talk to Jordan. I'm too lazy to listen to nonsense about what he's been doing for the past few days that he doesn't answer all my messages and calls.And just as I was about to answer the call, I realized I was with Rhysand. His cousin, and someone who did something to me.Realizing that, and how I felt about Rhysand, made me sick of myself and feel bad for Jordan.I took a shaky breath as I remembered that after tonight, tomorrow
I don't want to look at Jordan when I tell the truth. Saying a few things about what happened between me and his cousin. I dare not do that, I'm afraid.I was afraid of Jordan's anger, and I was afraid to see the condescending look he gave me. I had given up on what Jordan wanted about our relationship. But if I were him, then I'd break off the relationship, and then leave without ever wanting to see myself again.The empty silence that had lasted for a few seconds was terrifying to me. I took a breath, and let it out with all my might in my tight chest. "I'm not asking you to forgive me, Jordan. I'll accept it if you want to end our relationship.""Motherfucker."I turned around in surprise at his cursing, and now what I saw in my eyes was his stiffened and hardened face. The anger can be seen clearly. I didn't know what else to say, so I took a breath and started talking again. "I'll give you time to think about it."Jordan turned his face away from me again.After steadying myself,
I was in the living room on the second floor. Sitting on the sofa while holding my hand anxiously.What's wrong with today? Why do I find so many bad luck?I press my head with my hands, and close my eyes so the image of Rhysand's bruised face fills my head.I've been here thirty minutes, waiting for them. Somehow I waited for one of them to meet me, I don't know. But at least I wanted to ask one of them the reason they were fighting.Is it because of me?Or something else?Or because of another woman?I sighed as the throbbing in my head that seemed like yesterday came back. I was about to lie down on this couch, but I heard footsteps. And I opened my eyes.I stood up when I found Jordan. He looked disorganized, there were bloodstains on his white t-shirt and his face was bruised. But the look in his eyes that landed on me was gentle and caring, just like the Jordan I'd seen."Jordan." I called him. I desperately held back the tears that threatened to come out. "Are you okay?" I drew
From : AL.She's fine though she's still unconscious. Doctor said that Renne had been poisoned due to the expired milk she consumed.I took a deep breath as I read the message Rafaella sent about Renne's condition. Poisoned? It made no sense to me since Renne was the most conscientious person I've ever known. She always checked the groceries for us regularly when she was our nanny. She's also very careful when it comes to food. There was no way Renne would be so reckless that she could drink expired milk. And-"Amanda, come here."I gasped. Almost dropped my phone. Taking a deep breath, I turned from my position standing in front of the glass walls of Rhysand del Millero's spacious room. Ignoring my beating heart in my chest. I stepped towards him, doing as he wished. He was already wearing a white shirt that was tucked into the pants of his work suit. The three buttons of his shirt were still open, and I was half afraid of what orders he was going to throw at me."Help me get dressed
