Chapter 8 All Alone

After the long drive we finally reached our destination.

I didn't reply to his apologies hours ago because I was a little hurt by his words even though he spoke the truth, yes we just met and kissed, we still don't know know each other and that strange feeling is still there telling me to be careful.

I wanted to keep ignoring him but once I looked at him I was captivated by how focused and serious he looked while driving.

Looking away I nodded but I doubt he saw that.

"We are here" I know i sounded tired, but I was. That was why I opened the car door myself and walk straight to my house door, hoping to get a wink once I glance at my bed.

Opening the door I stepped inside, walking to the kitchen to quench my thirst and then heading for my room, that's when I heard a voice.

"I believe we still have something to discuss" came a manly voice that startled me.

"Ahhh you scared me" I said with wide eyes. "What? How did you get in?" I said breathless

Tilted his head to one side, he looked me as if i was crazy. "I followed you in but it seemed you were out of this world because you reaction just said it all" he stressed out.

"You, you just got me by surprise but why are you following me" I was totally frustrated "besides you've seen my house so what's left to discuss or do you want me sign some papers as a prove that I'll pay you the debt?" I could barely hear myself, I believe if I had, I'd have bitten my tongue.

I saw something flashed in his eyes but unlike the other time his expression this time was blanked and held no emotion.

Slowly he worked towards me like a predator and I felt like I was the poor prey.

He reached me in no time and eyed me like a prey making the feelings heightened. Grabbing my arm he ushered me forward, locking our gaze. I could see his clenched jaw.

"Do you really think the money in your bank account is worth my attention?" he was gritting his teeth.

"You had the privilege you should be thankful, yet you aren't but I'll save you the stress of paying because that's how much of a gentleman I am" I thought he was bragging but then I slowly realized my mistake.

"I-I didn't mean like.." but I was interrupted.

"You can keep your meaning while I pass you my words" his hand tightened on my arm but not in a hurtful way.

"You'll sign the papers as promised but you'll start the payment first thing tomorrow" he said in a low breath, I didn't know he was that angry.

I slowly nodded digesting everything he said. He also let go of my arm looking displeased with himself, he contemplated before turning his back and walking to the door.

"I will send my assistant over to complete the rest" he said still walking and then he was gone leaving me alone with his scent which gave me a lingering feeling.

Feeling all alone again I made my way to my bedroom to get a wink, hopefully.

Monday morning came but I woke up late as a result of thinking all night due to a certain person.

Thinking about it, it's been almost two days since I last thought of my tragic past.

I wore a simple light pink dress, a knee-length off shoulder dress, the lower part was a A line. I paired it with a white loafers, then dressed my hair in a ponytails.
