Chapter Twelve
Maxine’s Point Of View
After I ate the food that they served for me, I decided to take a bath to calm myself. I stayed in the bath for 30 minutes, and I think it was not enough for me to calm myself down. However, if I stayed there for a hour long I might get a cold. I don’t want to make them worry again, especially GH who really cares for me. A care that I did not felt when I was with my foster parents and siblings. Sigh, I remembered again how I was enslaved by my supposed siblings. I wish I could get to an accident and my memories of my past will be gone forever. And if possible all that will be left in my memory are the happy memories or the memories that really precious to me.

I went outside and went to the garden to breathe fresh air and calm my mind. I have been thinking, how is GH now? When will he go home? I missed him even though I haven’t been with him in a long time and I have never had the experience of talking to him when we were just the two of us. I want us to have time for each other. I want to thank him for what he did to me even though he doesn’t really know me yet. If you think carefully, who will take you to their mansion without even knowing your whole personality, especially with whom or what kind of family you have. So I’m just very grateful to GH because he adopted me. He gave me food, a dress to wear and home to shelter. He was like my guardian angel. Damn, Am I being dramatic? haha!
“Hey,” I turned my head when I heard someone. “What are you doing here? Admiring the view?” Giles, added.
I rolled my eyes, “If you already know, stop asking and leave already.” I replied and looked back at where I had been looking before. “I don’t want to be bothered by the likes of you.” I added.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
He heaved a sigh, “What do you mean by ‘the likes of you’? Am I kind of toxic or something?”
“You are an animal.” I answered in an instant.
“Heh~ What?” he walked and blocked my view.
I glared at him and stood up. “You’re a Monkey.” I rolled my eyes and turned away.
I heard him chortling but I did not stop walking away from and just ignored him. Maybe he couldn’t just believe what I said. Of course, they think highly of themselves. That’s why they would not believe me when I said they look like a Monkey. Many people admire them and are amazed by their said ‘charisma’ ‘charm’. I don’t know if the people around them have been rapturous or they really just had something wrong with their eyes.
I was about to enter the house when Louis showed up. He looked a bit startled when he saw me but it immediately disappeared from his face. He removed something from his ear and when I looked at his hand, I saw one pair of his wireless earphones. My gaze went back to him and he was still looking at me.
“What? Why?” I asked when I felt uncomfortable with his stare.
He shook his head and returned to his ear what he had taken there earlier. “It’s just nice to see you.”
I felt like my blood was all rose in my head. Gosh, why is this happening to me? And when did it start? Every time he talks to me I have this feeling in my stomach, it feels strange and it seems that there are butterflies dancing inside my stomach. I know it sounds crazy but this is what I actually feel. Gosh, I will need Angela to figure out this one. Sigh, what I felt when Louis was around me was the opposite when I am with Alyn. I don’t know but he gave me this vibes that will make you hate him for no reason. And as for me, I get irritated just by looking at his face. That’s why I couldn’t understand why… Why does everyone like him more than Louis and the others? Why does Alyn get more fans than Louis? If you will compare the two, it is obvious that Louis will win. Argh! I just don’t know. I get annoyed every time I think of Alyn’s face.
“If you are planning to go inside, just go.” I stopped in thought when someone spoke behind me. And when I realised that, that voice sounds familiar, I turned around to confirm it. “Why are you standing here at the door? Are you waiting for someone to push you?” he continued.
My gosh! Speaking of the devil! He’s here with her evil queen! Wait, this girl seems familiar but I don’t know where I saw her. Maybe I was just mistaken?
“What? Want me to push you?” he arches his brows. I did not give him an answer and just walked in.
Argh! That devil! I really hate him. My gosh, I feel like my blood pressure will rise up because of him. Took a deep breath and shook my head before I entered my room.
“Calm yourself down, Max. It’s just Alyn, get ahold of yourself.” I said to myself.
I once more took a deep breath, and I felt like I’m already calm. I lay down on the bed and opened my phone. I would have called Angela to ask about how I was feeling before but it stopped when I remembered something. Who was the girl with Alyn earlier? Is she his girlfriend? Then, who was the girl in the frame back then? That girl earlier and the girl from the picture frame were definitely not the same. How did I say that? Well, the girl from the picture frame was simpler than the girl before. Hmm… She’s full of makeup and she looks ugly. Tch, I look better than her!
“Argh!” I pulled my hair when I realised that I was giving them a lot of thought.
Gosh, who they think they are to mess with my mind? I don’t care whoever he dates, whoever he brings here and whoever the woman is there in the picture frame. Gosh, don’t ever wanna think about those ugly people again they only annoyed me. Tch. I’m too gorgeous to think about them.
