Rushing into the bathroom, Lilo gasped seeing how big it was. I have never seen a chandelier in a bathroom before she muttered, "not a diamond chandelier" she said with awe.
She continued her survey in the bathroom forgetting the [demon]was in the room, he might lose his patience any time. Suddenly she stumbled and fell in the pool of water.
Ahh.. it's so cold! she shivered. I am definitely going to catch a cold again, she sighed.
It would have been better if it was the hot water pool, he said with a chuckle.
What? how can you say that? How heartless of you, she frowned.
It was just a thought.. he gave an infectious smile.
A pervert thought you mean.. she rolled her eyes.
"How can a man as beautiful as this be so evil?" she thought to herself, no..no..she shook her head in distaste.
Quit smiling at me you sadist, she said with a sterning look
"Language Lilo", he warned. You should quit calling me names, he said titling his head.
Why not? You're obviously a sadist, she blurted out.
Jaden looked at Lilo for a fleeting seconds and then said,
What can I say.. "it's who I am".
She was taken aback by his response.
I am glad that you admitted.. she said feeling relax.
Yes.. yes, he nodded and said, "I am glad that I will do the honors in bathing you", he said with an evil smirk plastered on his face. Waiting to devour her.
What?? she almost choked. No.. I will do the honors myself, she narrowed her eyes at him.
Let me! he galloped towards her and she grasped.
You can't do that.. she said helplessly.
I can! he said finally standing in front of her in the pool. She almost vanished when his gaze on her was unwavering.
Turn around! he said with his deep voice, "he wasn't asking", "he was commanding"
Please you can't do this! she tried to escape from him but her hands went weak. She was "helpless" in the hands of the devil.
I will show you "I can", he replied.
You took so long to bath.. so I decided to help, he said with a whisper as his lips lingered on her shoulder she shuddered.
He tore open the night gown that she wore and left it halfway exposing only her back. "I am definitely going to throw you out of the window one day curious one", he kissed her neck and it stirred something dark inside her.
Next time I won't stop..he whispered to her and left.
Lilo was speechless and began to shiver in fear, she quickly took her bath and wore a new dress before she would catch a cold again.
I am ready, she said not looking at him.
Let's go then, he replied with a grin.
They walked down a long corridor, there were several portraits on the wall, ones with extremely beautiful women. "Oh if only her camera was with her..", she wondered whether it grew legs and escaped. There was a portrait of a man whose eyes were sea green in colour, the same as Jaden's, He must be his father, it was the only thing he took from his father, Lilo thought. it was as if she had seen them before.. there one portrait, it was a woman with long black hair with blue eyes, "mermaid" she muttered. The disturbing thing was that the woman in the portrait look exactly like her mother [Mabel] except that her mother's eyes were black in color. What a coincidence, she thought. The portrait were strangely familiar and Lilo was disturbed.
Lilo didn't dare to say a word or even touch anything, to avoid unnecessary attention. After what transpired in the bathroom she was extremely careful.
They finally walked down the stairs and headed to the dinning room.
Good morning mother, he went to kiss her.
Good morning Jaden, she responded.
He has a mother? of course he does have a mother, she thought to herself. She was an "extremely" beautiful woman with wavy blonde hair, she was of an average height. She looks so familiar, Lilo thought. Oh of course it was the portrait, she was the blonde woman with
hazel brown eyes, [nothing special to think of] she said inwardly.
Sit Lilo, he urged her, the food is not going to eat itself, if you keep standing, he teased.
Lilo was fascinated by the decor of the mansion that she forgot to sit. Everything about this mansion "glitters", she wondered who designed the mansion.
Uh? Oh I'm sorry.. Good morning uhm...
She's so adorable, Harriet said admiring Lilo.
Lilo gave a small smile. [Of course I'm adorable, unless your son wouldn't agree.., she said inwardly.]
Thank you milady, she responded.
Oh it's fine, you can call me Harriet, she said with the same infectious smile Jaden has..
Okay, she nodded slightly.
You must be Lilo, Harriet said.
Yes I am, she responded.
My son has told me allot about you, I hope he doesn't trouble you? she asked
Lilo was stuck between saying "yes or no", of course he troubles her.. it's even worst than trouble, she thought. This 'pervert'. Not at all.., she responded with a small smile.
Oh.. don't worry he will change..
Uh?
Mother! he called.
What? I'm only speaking the truth, she chuckled.
Come sit! you must be hungry..
Lilo nodded in response [ extremely] she thought.
Gloria! Harriet called
Yes milady, the maid responded.
Bring some more food for Lilo, she said.
Yes milady!
Prepare a room for Lilo, she smiled at her briefly.
Why is she asking to prepare a room for me? Lilo wondered
...And uhm go to my room and get the box that is laid on the bed. Place it in Lilo's room, once you're done. okay?
Yes milady, she responded and left.
Pardon me milady, but I don't intend to stay any longer than I have stayed, Lilo said.
I bet you would, Harriet replied with a warm smile.
Why does it sounds like a treat to her? or was she just scaring her? no..no.., she shook the thoughts away.
*****
Have you tried calling her today? Daniel asked.
Yes I have.. I don't know why her phone was switched off for almost four days.
Are you sure she's okay? Mabel asked disturbed.
She's fine.., I have sent message to my agents in Devalon, you don't have to worry, okay? Daniel assured.
I hope we get to hear from her soon..
I'm worried Daniel, she said.
Come on momma.. she will be fine, you know how stubborn Lilo is sometimes..
I know but this is too much of it..
