Seduction under silk sheets CHAPTER TWENTY
Sitting around a large table at the dining area, Alistair’s grandfather would occasionally glance at us with a look of suspicion in his eyes. Maybe he wasn’t buying our false pretense.Nervously, I placed my hand onto Alistair’s and it didn’t go unnoticed by the old man, who smiled at the scene before he looked at me.“Tell me, dear child.” He said and that was when I felt Alistair’s hand beneath mine, move. He. Was moving it away from me and I could tell it had made him somewhat uncomfortable.. not that I was complaining though. “What is your name?”“Chloe.” I replied and he nodded while I managed to take a glance at the lady beside him, who just gave me a straight face. She was hard to read.Though, I could tell that she couldn’t control the anger within her, anytime her face turned towards Alistair’s and it had made me wonder why. What had happened between the two of them? Who was she and why does she hate him so much?“How did you two meet?” The old man asked and this time, it was

The rest of the journey back home, was awkwardly quiet. Neither of us spoke to one another as we were both troubled. Alistair sat beside me with his eyes staring out the car window while a frown settled on his face. His jaw ticked and his brow furrowed in anger while clenching his fist. I stared at him, my heart racing as I thought of what he had done some minutes ago. I was still shocked by the fact that he had gone against his grandfather, whom he seemed so afraid of but it also made me wonder what he had done. Did he really kill someone or was it all just an allegation to put him in the bad light? His clenched fist caught my attention and I could swear that his knuckles were turning white. I hesitantly placed my palms on his fist and with a look of disapproval from him, I immediately withdrew my hand. I swallowed nervously and stared away. Soon, we’ve arrived at the mansion and as soon as the car rolled and parked in the premises, Alistair hastily alighted the vehicle with a dee

I stirred in my bed as the alarm clock that sat on the table, rang in my ears, disrupting that little moment of peace. I knew that my eyes had bags under them and that I was a hot mess. Speaking of hot, the weather had suddenly become a bit warm. Maybe so warm, that it had become slightly uncomfortable for me. Sitting on my bed, I rubbed my eyes before I caught sight of a mockingbird that had perched itself on my window's pane as if adding an ironic touch to the start of the day. It flew off almost immediately but that was just the least of my worries at the moment. I hate to admit it, but I genuinely felt concerned for Alistair. He had been rushed to the hospital last night by his assistant. His condition before he was taken away, broke my heart and it made me wonder what he was going through. He never appeared to me as a man, suffering from a trauma of any kind. Was it related to the girl he had killed? I walked over to the window, opening it to let in some fresh air. Since Alis

Alistair’s Pov My eyes fluttered open, and the first thing that greeted my senses was the sweet scent of jasmine. Before me stood a figure, its features slightly blurred. I could discern the feminine form, hinted by the presence of breasts on the chest. I could barely see her face as her hand stretched out and I felt a soft touch to my hair. Blinking a few times, I was finally able to make out the figure before me. She looked worried and my heart pounded fast against my chest at the realization. “What are you doing?” I asked and her eyes fell on mine. They popped out as if caught in a terrible act and she withdrew her hand in haste. “I…” She swallowed but I could barely hear what she was saying, as my attention was focused on my surroundings. I slowly sat up in the hospital bed, feeling the sterile sheets beneath me. The scent of antiseptic lingered in the air, and the soft hum of medical equipment filled the room. My surroundings were familiar, yet my mind was shrouded in confusi

What?Did he just say what I thought he did?A frown settled on my face as a mischievous smirk, dotted his face. I couldn’t help but feel a bit offended that he had the time to joke around after the way he had treated me last night. It made me wonder if maybe the whip had something to do with it. He probably must have whipped a few screw loose and that might have been the reason he had forgotten what had happened, as well.“Excuse me?” I said, my brows furrowed while expecting a response from him.“Why, did I stutter?” he replied and then I knew he meant what he had said, every single word.Pouting my lips in annoyance, I walked towards him with the bowl of grilled fish and potatoes. The delicious aroma wafted through the air, tempting my own taste buds despite the situation. As I reached him, I stilled for a moment, catching the subtle playfulness in his eyes, evident by the smirk that adorned his lips. His expression hinted at a mischievous challenge, daring me to go along with his

ALISTAIR’S POV“How are you feeling, sir Alistair?” The doctor asked while the nurses pulled out the syringe from my arm.I flashed him a reassuring smile, and he reciprocated the gesture before tapping on a pad in his hand. Glancing around the room, an hour had passed since I woke up, and there was still no sign of Chloe returning from wherever she had disappeared to.It made me wonder where she had been to and why.“What about her?” I asked as I couldn’t hold it much longer and the doctor stared at me with a raised brow before he nodded.“Oh, Mrs. Levon?” he asked and a subtle smile painted my lips.Mrs. Levon – the thought of her hearing such a thing probably left her embarrassed, and the realization that she might have already caught wind of it, with me absent to witness her likely irritated reaction, fueled a strong desire to kick myself.“I asked around and was told she had gone to see her mother.” He spoke, pulling me out of my thoughts while I nodded in understanding.I smiled

ALISTAIR’S POVWiping the blood streaking from my nose, I glared at my so-called brother with bloodshot eyes. The term “brother” held little resonance in this moment, given the frustration that stemmed from the realization that he had set me up.He knew his mother would be there. He knew she hated me and when I told him I wouldn’t make it to the dinner, he kept in persisting. Though he wasn’t at fault either as I choose to be present and wasn’t forced, I just needed someone to transfer my aggression to.“What are you all doing standing there?“ I asked as I tilted my head to the maids, that stood still as they watched the scene before them. “Get lost!“They all sauntered to their heels, moving out of the room in haste before I turned to look at my brother. He picked up a napkin from the dining table and wiped his bloody ass nose.“Are you mad at me or you foolish girl?“ He questioned and once again, my body moved on its own. Before I knew, I had gotten close to him and pulled him tight

I slowly began my ascend up the stairs while massaging my temples as the weight of grandfather’s request weighed heavily on me. After delivering the information, my brother had gone and had confided in me of the reason he had decided to show up, instead of sending someone over.He wanted me to know that he had no resentment towards me for how the dinner turned out and he knew I would believe him without doubt if he showed up himself and he also, wanted to inform me to take it. To accept my grandfather’s request and let Chloe go.Though I had no affection for her, I didn’t want to let her go just yet. She owed me for the watch and maybe twice more, since I had to rebuy it. Though I couldn’t equally refuse grandfather, I also knew that I didn’t want to give her the satisfaction of knowing that I would be ending my contract with herMy first stop was her room and as I walked to the door, I could see the light within as the door was slightly opened. She laid on the bed, obviously engrosse
