Chapter 197
“What’s your name?” I asked and she looked reluctant.
“Jennifer.” She answered nervously and averts my gaze.
“Where were you last night?” She looks back up in shock and I found her lips quivering.
“At my room after we were done preparing dinner.” She answered
“You serve at the kitchen?”
“Yes….”Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
I didn’t get my answer but she looked like the most promising suspect. I let my eyes fall to her lips maybe I would remember looking at them but nothing.
“Wait….” I said to her when she tucked in her lips having found me looking. “Never mind.” I said.
What the fuck was I thinking looking at her lips? It gave me nothing.
“You can leave.” She ran instead, I guess I scared her that much especially if she was the lady I kissed.
Those lips didn’t look like one I’d enjoy, I felt repulsed thinking of kissing another lady because that act wasn’t something I’d enjoy doing with someone I didn’t love. I could fuck yes! Because my dick had a brain of its own but even that was difficult to enjoy without thinking of Thea.
I spent half of my day locked up in my room untill Caspian found me.
Apparently Sparrow had gotten the courage to return and was said to attend the next games at the Casino.
I originally had no plans of joining but right now I was more than eager.
“You seem bothered and it doesn’t seem to be about Sparrow.” Caspian said and I sighed deeply.
“I have a lot of things bothering me these days and you know it Caspian.” I answered and he gave me a suspecting look.
“Does it in anyway have to do with your ex-lover?” He said but I glared at him and he apologized immediately. Thea was an off topic he had some guys bringing her up when I was doing everything to get her off my mind.
He left afterwards, shutting the door behind him and after a huge struggle with myself I succumbed to the itching curiosity of confronting Thea. The taste of that lips, the feeling became more convincing by the second.
What if I kissed Thea and not some random lady?
I went to the warehouse where I knew she was working at the moment. I took my time watching her pack some empty cartons to dispose.
It was unlikely she had been there with me the other night but it felt right putting her face to that of the lady I kissed that night.
I tensed suddenly the moment she turned around and our eyes locked.
I clenched my jaw and took my hands out of my pocket.
I shouldn’t be surprised that she turned around to see me. She had the habit of always looking back when I watched her for long. Almost like she could feel my gaze on her.
I put up a hard front and walked towards her.
She looked firm and unwavering with my presence and she looked me straight in the eyes with no emotions evident in them.
I almost felt stupid for coming here.
She pryed her lips to say something after a painful silence between us.
“Why are you here?” She asked, but I kept looking at her lips and thinking of the kiss. I could swear it was her lips I kissed but the way she was acting right now didn’t seem to compliment that.
“Don’t you have anything to say to me?” I decided to play a game, if truly she was the one their would be a glint of confirmation in her expression.
“Why would I have anything to say to you?” She answered instead looking at me like I was crazy and that sealed my suspicion.
I scoffed at myself. She looked disgusted at my display of pride.
“I’m busy, you can see that, so if you have a reason for coming here for ahead with it. I have lunch to meet up with.” She said and waited for me to speak but I couldn’t say a thing.
I felt embarrassed. I looked at her lips again and felt the intense urge to taste them, she didn’t tuck her lip in despite my intense stare at them and when I looked up at her face she had nothing but disgust in them.
Did I irritate her that much? Wasn’t she the same woman that went crazy every time I touched her? Was it really because of her sex addiction that she reacted so fucking good to my touches?
Fuck!!!
She was a really smart one and played me damn well.
I turned around without saying anything else leaving her to dine with her curiosity.
Seeing Thea’s reaction, I was convinced she wasn’t the one. It was around evening and I was taking a stroll within the mansion when I sighted that maid from earlier peeking at me through the wall. Had she been following me the entire day? Or was she always a stalker? Maybe, that was how I bumped into her that night. My suspicion increased in triple folds and the image of me kissing her flashed into my head.
‘You’d hate me if you knew what we did.’
That line popped into my head and I was convinced she was the one I kissed.
It annoyed me that she had tried to decieve me so I approached her with angry steps while she tried to flee.
“Stop right there!” I called and she stopped, shaken from fear. I gripped her arm tightly while she sobbed.
“I’m sorry sir.” She cried.
“I don’t know what happened between us but if you do as much as say a thing about it I swear you won’t live to tell more tales.” I warned and she nodded severally.
I left her arm pushing her slightly and she left in a hurry.
So it was her all along….
I was disappointed, strangely and deep down my heart I had wished it was Thea.
