#Book 2 Chapter 10
” What?! He looked like he will do something to you and our child!”Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
“I puked! It’s totally normal and he helped me get through it.” He took a step closer to me which I didn’t back off, fearlessly.
” It didn’t look like that to me! God! I just woke up and that’s what I see first thing in the morning?” I raised an eyebrow at him and took a step back from him.
“So it’s my fault why you had to wake up in a bad mood?” But he followed me down.
” No. He’s what makes my morning bad!”
“Don’t blame him about all this! It’s not his fault.” He bit his lip and trapped me in a counter here in the kitchen.
I held his chest away so he wouldn’t squish me.
” He trespassed in this island and this house! He’s suspicious” he coldly stated out.
I looked my eyes up at him.
” I’ve known him for almost 2 years! He helped me a lot Keian! He’s there when you’re not!” His body froze but his eyes are still focused on me.
” He didn’t run away when I needed him. He didn’t hurt me when I was in his hands, unlike you!”
Yes, I was always alone in those times. But he always went out to look for me to help in any way he can.
” You really think I hurt you?” Without thinking twice, I said…
“Yes!”
It was my turn to froze.
Because of what I just said…
I ultimately regretted what my mouth just blurted out because his face fell because of the pain my words left to him but his expression turned cold immediately.
” K-Keian” He distanced himself away from me. He closed his eyes for a while before coldly looking at me.
” I’m sorry then” I watched him leave the house, heading to a place I don’t know where.
I bit my lip.
” Stupid, Nass”
—
After a few minutes of thinking, I finally decided to go out of the house to ask Keian for forgiveness.
I went to the tent where we slept but didn’t found him there or anywhere near outside the house.
I furrowed my eyebrows.
Where is he?
Don’t tell me…
That he left me here on my own?
My eyebrows creased deeper at the thought. Should I check this whole island on my own?
Maybe he’s just in some other parts…
” Maîtresse” I turned to whoever called my name out. Someone wearing a black uniform. Keian’s men.
“Yes?” He lowered his head a bit.
“Maître Andrew left for a while to town. He wants me to tell you not to leave this island till he comes back.” My mouth gaped.
He did leave me here!
“What? Why? What’s his deal?” Kuya slightly let out a smile.
“I’m afraid he didn’t say anything much. Maître just told us to guard you.” I was sad upon hearing this so I just nodded.
“Oh okay, I’ll just head back to the house.” He bowed again and that’s where I took my cue to walk back inside.
I sat on the sofa in the house. Where Lem and I were sitting on earlier.
I forgot I haven’t cooked anything for breakfast yet. Which only means I haven’t eaten anything this morning.
I’m not that hungry yet and I’m not really in the mood to cook.
Why did he leave the island???
Yeah, I know that he was hurt with what I said but I didn’t mean to say those to him straight in the face.
But why did he have to leave me here all alone??
Is he running away again?
I can’t help but feel frustrated…
Because!
Does it seem like he’s the only affected person here?!
Hmph.
I crossed my arms to my chest and tried to calm myself down.
I wonder what is he going to do in town without me?!
Huh.
I saw a piece of paper lying on the sofa which I noticed just now. I confusingly grabbed it and what I saw inside was a number.
Is this from Lem???
I pouted…
So I tucked it inside the pocket of my jogger pants.
.
.
.
The whole surroundings fell quiet mainly because it’s just me here and nobody else.
” Ow!” I held on to my baby bump as I felt something moving inside… more on kicking.
My mouth hung open.
It’s the first time I felt our baby’s kick!
I rubbed my baby bump, feeling the sweet sensation of happiness.
Surely Keian would be happy to know this news.
I stood up, intending to go after him but I stopped midway as I remembered that he actually left me here all alone.
I bit my lip and got the piece of paper that Lem left.
I went on and dialed his number on my cellphone. After a few rings, he immediately picked up.
” Hello? Nass. I’m glad you saw the piece of paper I left. I was about to hand it to you but then your husband arrived.” I took a deep breath.
“I’m terribly sorry about what happened to you earlier, Lem.”
“That’s alright, don’t bother. I understand why it’s that way, it’s my fault since I intentionally went to your private island.”
“No, it’s not your fau—”
“That’s enough, Nass. It’s not much of a big deal to me. I’m okay and you are too. That’s what’s important.” I winced at what he said since it’s a big deal for me but I thought of not mentioning it to him any further.
“By the way, could you bring me to town?”
“Huh? Would your husband let you?” I frowned at this.
“He’s not here.”
“But what about his men? I might get in jail in the most unexpected time haha.” He joked but we never know it might come true.
I don’t want to drag him into this… Keian might hurt him once he caught us together.
“Hey, Lemuel. I changed my mind. I just might pull you in a lot more danger.” I can’t help but sound forlorn about it.
If Keian is in town, I should be there too!
“Hey, what are you, I’m just kidding. It’s okay if I get in jail, as long as you’re happy…” I smiled at his statement.
“Are you sure? I just might be a disturbance.” I said through the phone.
I heard him chuckled.
“Yes, I swear you’re no disturbance. Any time you need me, I’ll be there running to you right away hahaha.” I laughed and somehow I felt lighter.
” Thank you, Lem, for everything you’ve done for me.”
“It’s nothing. Stop saying thank you, I’m feeling butterflies here hahahaha.”
“Joker”
” Haha. Just kidding. But sure, I’ll be there. Wait for me, I’ll just run to my boat.”
” Haha sure, thanks a lot, Lemuel”
” I told you to stop saying—” before he could even continue his statement, I dropped the call and happily went out of the house.
Now, let’s figure out how I can convince Keian’s men to let me leave this island.
Hmmm…
