Chapter 30: Chapter 30
The first rays of sunlight lit up my room. The dawn chorus of melodic birdsong drifted in. The rising sun cast a rosy hue across the morning sky which made it look mesmerizing. Golden fingers of sunlight lit up the scene. I loved mornings the most and looking at the blue sky with white clouds. I giggled but soon stopped when I sneezed some movements in the garden.
Yes, my room had a garden view and I had to say it was glorious, absolutely magnificent that I dashed away from the window and left my room.
"Morning Ms…"I was greeted by someone immediately I stepped out of my room but I didn't stay for long however I just nodded with a smile and proceeded to the stairs
The house was nice and clean and as always empty. I guessed Victor was already gone which was a good thing
"And where are you going?" as I was rushing down I heard a cold female voice ask and I stopped right away and innocently turned around to see Monica standing there. She was still in her white nightgown with her hair in bed curlers
"Hey good morning Monica," I said innocently and looked at her with innocent eyes,
"Where are you going...don't tell me you found something to cause trouble again"oh god, I am doomed now'. Last night I didn't know what happened to me, I guessed some people were worked up over nothing but I was fine
"I'm going in the garden to get some fresh air" I replied in the most sincere way possible and I waited for Monica to scold me more but she just cheekily walked away leaving me standing there
"Oh well"I regained my joyous mood and rushed to the door. It was a beautiful morning. No grumpy man to bother me, no servants to interrupt my sleep, and certainly nothing to stop me from exploring the garden
"Morning Ms" I was greeted by the security guard as soon as I stepped out and I nodded with a smile and proceeded to the garden. It felt weird how they treated me. Too strange for my liking but I went my way and when I got to the garden, I climbed some stairs to get all the way up
Wow, this is beautiful" I muttered checking out all the trees, exotic flowers, and some strawberry trees. It seemed the grumpy man created heaven for himself. The atmosphere was pleasant and the air was so fresh that I closed my eyes and stood in the open sky as the cool gentle breeze caressed my exposed shoulders and arms. I was wearing cute little gray shorts with a small strapped crop shirt that showed my belly and shoulders. I started twirling in happiness loving the way my hair was blowing around
I started giggling while twirling, it was fun and I could do that the entire day unless
"Ahh" I gasped loudly when someone suddenly grabbed my hand as if to stop me from twirling. My heart raced as I tried to open my eyes but my hair was covering my face. Slowly I removed the hair from my face and lifted my head to look up only to feel fear
"What are you doing?"The person who I thought left a while ago was holding me in his embrace. He looked angry or was it just his resting face. I scanned him and he was in his training gear, behind him came a tall man with black hair and he was holding files 'oh geez...I messed up big time' i cried in my heart seeing victor looking at me with a disdainful look which drilled holes if it could
"Mr. Ellison...I didn't know you had such a little beauty in your house "the black-haired man brought me, no no brought us back to reality and I cleared my throat and forced my way out of Victor's arms. He didn't react to the man's words but maintained his cold aura
"The meeting will continue later...you can go," Victor said looking at the man, but the man had his eyes on me. He was smirking and his gaze made me feel uncomfortable and I knew it was because of what I was wearing
"Sure...what's your name, little doll?"The thin man replied to Victor without looking at him and came straight to where I was standing. I moved a little backward not sure why he asked me.
"I'm…"
"Get going Mr. Davies, I'll see you in the afternoon," Victor said coldly cutting me off from saying my name and turning his attention to the man looked at me for a while then chuckled and left from there descending the stairs
"Ms. Payton...do you need anything?"Victor asked and I lowered my head obediently, I didn't mean to interrupt him. I thought he was already gone
"No...I well"I didn't even know what to say as an excuse, the victor was rather a scary man
"Go and get ready...you are coming with me," he said and walked past me, and only when he was gone die did I exhale in relief
"Such an iceberg of a man" I muttered and turned around to go but I stopped and froze in place
"What did you say?"Victor asked me and I just wanted the ground to open up and swallow me whole. I thought he left already, how come the grumpy man was standing right in front of me looking all hot and sexy. Instead of answering him. I smiled secretly counting his visible abs and his biceps and triceps dripped hotness that I couldn't look away from him
"Trouble" I heard him murmur and shook my head only to find myself standing there with no victor around
"Damn it, Vivie..he will think you are a pervert" I scolded myself and waited for a while before I headed back inside.
