I Can’t Come Like This
Cleaning his mouth with a napkin elegantly, he looked and walked towards me and bent down to me, saying, “Good choice… Make something light for me for dinner; okay sugar.?
Saying that, he packed on my wet lips and left the room, and I dropped my head on the table and cried hysterically.
Why.. why.. why. Why does God always play with my emotions?
Can’t he see how cruel people are? How cruel are they to me?
Getting up from the chair, I walk out towards the garden, using the patio attached to the dining room.
If nothing else, then fresh air will surely help, and at least I can cry here without worrying if someone will see my vulnerable state.
I don’t know how long I have been walking, but finally I reach the small pond where a few swans are roaming around.
I noticed a few additions to the rabbit family, and looking at the small babies made me smile a little.
‘Bella will be so happy to see them. I should bring her here.’
I turned around but stopped when the phone rang, and looking at the number, my heartbeat started running again.
I started walking back and forth, but the phone was not ready to back down. It kept ringing.
Finally, ignoring all the fear, I pick up the phone and gulp down my saliva to grease my dry throat. Nathan, hhiii..” I stutter.
“What the fuck are you doing with him? What games is he playing this time, hmm?” He started bombarding me the moment I picked up the phone, and I closed my eyes after hearing his loud and angry voice.
“You don’t have to stay with him, not even for a minute. I am sending my people to come with them.” I heard his voice, but again, he did not let me speak.
My people are reaching me in ten minutes. You and Bella both come with them. I am sending you their details.” He again spoke, and I closed my eyes.
“Nathan, listen.” Finally, when I did not hear his voice, I assumed he must be sending me details of the people he was sending to pick me and Bella up.
“What do you want me to listen to? First, you took such a big step without informing me, and now you are asking me to listen and calm down?
Sarah, is it you I am talking to too?” He again barks, and I decide to stay silent till he calms down a little.
“Why are you not saying anything now? Say something, dammit.” His anger has scared me now.
Nathan is a person who is always calm, composed, and calculative towards all his steps, and losing his mind like this is quite surprising for me.
“Nathan, I can’t come like this,” I said when he was not speaking anything.
“When I did not get any reply, I checked my phone and saw the line got cut, or, to be precise, he hung up on me.
Shaking my head, I look up at the sky. Closing my eyes, I try to calm my nerves a little.
I walked back and looked for Bella, and she was enjoying her toys in her room.
Bella, come, I want to show you something.” I said I took her back to the garden, and her expression was worth watching.
I took the whole video of her reaction, looking at a small creature running in the grass.
After spending some time in the garden, we finally came back to the mansion after promising Bella to bring her back here in the evening.
It’s already lunchtime, so I thought to make something for her, as I know she must be happy.
Luckily, the kitchen was empty, so I started my work and finished it in no time. I asked Bella to finish her food, and later she could watch TV with her new friend Alvera.
Alvera is a beautiful girl who must be 18 or 19 years old. And by her look, I guess she does not look American at all. With the way she is blending in with Bella, I can say she has a kind heart and is good with kids.
This is the first time I’ve seen it here. The last time I was here, she wasn’t there. And most surprising is that she does not wear a maid uniform, but again, she does all the work as other househelps do.
I guess I need to talk to her to get to know her better, but one thing is clear: she is sweet.
I also invited Alvera to lunch. At first she hesitated, but when I insisted, she finally agreed and sat with us.
Umm, Mam, you are a fantastic cook.” She moaned while taking a bite of the casserole I made, and I bit my lip to control my smile.
I know she is still a child and does not know what she is doing. So I just look down and concentrate on my food.
I looked up when someone cleared his throat, and Eric was standing with all his glory while looking at us, keeping his hands in his dress pants.
I followed his eyesight, and he wasn’t looking at me but at Alvera. And the moment Alvera noticed his presence, she dropped her head down, and her whole concentration was on his food, but I can see that she was uninterested.
I looked back at Eric, and his eyes were still stuck on her. I dropped my spoon.
I started looking back and forth to get some spicy news, as it’s clear something is cooking here or maybe about to cook up, and small fun won’t harm anyone, right?
When I got nothing for some time, I rolled my eyes and broke the silence.
“Hey, Eric.” I gave him a small smile when his eyes landed on me.
“Hey Sarah, how have you been?” He spoke while walking towards us.
“I have been ok, Eric, thanks. How are you?” I asked when I got good vibes from him.
Well, it’s good; at least he is not like Sean.
“I am great. Sarah. So where is our little princess?” Walking towards us, he looked at Bella, and my eyes also followed his gaze with a small smile.
“Oh my god, has a little fairy landed in this house, or am I dreaming?”
He spoke dramatically, closing his mouth with his palm in surprise, looking at Bella, and she could not control her giggle and small blush on her cheek.
I smiled, looking at both, and it was such a delight to see that two ruthless businessmen, Sean and Eric, are so good with kids.
But again, I notice some tension around. There is surely something off between Eric and Alvera.
But again, his behavior with me is also quite normal. It’s getting more and more difficult to get to know these guys.
After chit-chatting with Bella, he looked at me and said, “Sarah, I forgot to inform you to be ready in the evening. You have to attend an event with Sean.” I nodded to him, having no other option.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
He left after saying bye to Bella and glaring at Alvera, who was doing everything to ignore him.
I guess I need to talk to her some time to know what’s going on, but right now I need to see what I should wear.
As far as I know, I have nothing to wear to such a party. I guess I need to buy something.
But would Sean be okay if I went out without informing him? I don’t want to do anything to make his beast side awake, so I decide to call him and inform him I am going out shopping for tonight.
Thinking, I picked up my phone and saw a message, ‘Buy something nice for the evening. Nora will accompany you.
And make sure it’s red in and out.” I read the message twice just to understand what he was trying to say, and when I understood, blush crept all over my face.
This man is not only ruthless, but he is shameless, too.
