May had been very worried about Heather, she wasn't sure how Heather was keeping up but at least, she was so glad that Heather was made the Alpha Lord's Consort. She asked a maid to know her room but on her way but a maid rushed to her. 'Ma'am? Ma'am your attention is needed' the maid seemed to be tensed. 'Oh uhh, Laura what happened?' 'Ma'am she is eating anything, she has to take her medicine but she eat Ma'am. We have tried everything but she won't burge' the maid explained and May sighed. 'Okay, let's go. Where's the food?' 'In her room Ma'am.'
The maid opened the door and May stepped into the room. She looked at the woman lying on the bed with a worked up face. She was clearly pissed out and irritated by the woman's childness. 'Leave us' May ordered and the maid walked out of the room and shut the door behind her. 'Why have you come here? To see if I am dead?' the woman asked May casually and May just stared for a bit before motioning to the tray of food on the table. 'Believe me that's what I want more than anything' May shrugged while preparing the tea. 'Too bad you'll never get that' the woman snorted. ' Yes it is, and it's even worse for you since it'll increase your punishments' May said as she offered her the cup of tea but she didn't take it.
'Eat and take your medicine. No one wants you alive, but unfortunately, no one has time to waste on killing you either. Stop being a nuisance to everyone and take your medicine' 'didn't the maid that complained to you tell you that I refused to eat anything?' 'Yes she did, but we have no choice do we? I have been kept in charge of the welfare of the person that tried to murder me. And unlike you, I have no time to plan malicious things so behave yourself and eat, Aryan.' Aryan stared at her with seething anger. 'I hate you and your whole existence. You must be ecstatic about me being like this but let me remind you, that I almost put you in this state instead and I'll sure do it at the next trail' Aryan gritted out and May rolled her eyes. She was so bored of Aryan persistent empty threats. 'And how times have you "almost" put me in this state? You have tried countless of times and in all those times, you always get a taste of your own medicine. You never learn do you? Last time you almost lost your life. Be careful my dear, you might actually lose it this time' May said with clear bluntness and placed the tea on the small table beside Aryan's bed. 'Have your food, I have better things to do than listen to your gibberish' 'Why do you want me to have it so bad? Is it poisoned?' 'What do you think?' May shrugged and walked out of the room.
Aryan was burning in rage, May's nonchalance towards to her threats enraged her. 'Ahhh!!' she screamed at the top of her voice and pushed the cup off the table. The maid standing outside rushed in 'Ma'am are you-' 'GET OUT!!!' Aryan shouted and the maid rushed out. She was so angry that she was breathing heavily. 'You think you are immortal! You think you can rule the world! I will crush you... and feed you to the dogs, mark, my, words.' she rumbled to herself with so much anger.
May on the other hand, was so done with Aryan's drama and back to her worry over Heather, she was on her way back to Heather's room. 'I wonder how you would react if I tell you that you're the Alpha Lord's Consort' she mumbled to herself. She knew Heather to well, and from what she could recall? Her reaction would not to good at all. 'Oh gosh, how would I explain to her' she bit her lip, playing with her fingers nervously. Eventually, she got Heather room. 'Dear God please let this go well...' she muttered before knocking on the door.
There was no response. 'Is she still sleeping?' May wondered and tried to open the door and it opened. She peeked inside to check before entering, there's no one inside. 'But this is meant to be her room, now where did she run of to so early. Oh gosh... After this time, I won't be able to see her until tonight' May said as she sighed loudly. 'Where in the world is she anyway?' She went out of the room and asked the maids around. 'Do you maybe know where the Alpha Lord's Consort went to this morning?' 'No Ma'am, I haven't seen her leave her room this morning' the maid replied and May dismissed her. 'What are you up to Heather...?'
May had been worrying for hours, even with all the work she had to do she couldn't stop thinking about Heather. It was almost 11pm now and she had to go to Lord Derek's room. He would be back any minute now and she had to be there before he just to his room. She quickly showered and got ready. 'After midnight, I'll go to check up on her' she said as she knotted the rope of her rope.
She took the elevator and reached his apartment. She knocked to know if he was ready there but no response so she entered the apartment. She entered adriming everything about it. She could picture him here and there, looking readily dashing as always. She was so lost in the thought of him that she forgot about her worries for a second. 'Click' She heard the door open and she flinched. He was back. She heard him enter the apartment, making way for the study immediately. He didn't even acknowledge her presence, he walked straight to the study while he took off his blaser. She watched him until he entered the study and shut the door behind him with his leg. May sighed loudly and gulped before making her way to the study.
She carefully opened the door not to disturb him. When the door was fully opened, she entered inside with gentle steps. He had so much work to do, she tell from the folders on the table and also he didn't raise his head from the folder in his hand. She walked towards him cautiously. He was sitting upright so his broad shoulders stood out. She gulped nervously placed her hands over his shoulders. She closed her eyes, waiting for him to repulse her but he didn't so, she began to massage him gently. At first he wasn't reacting but soon, when she increased her pressure little by little, he started relaxing and his grip over the folder loosened. He leaned further into her touch and let his head fall back into the chair. Small groans escaped his lips with his eyes closed. He was fully relaxed in her touch, May relieved he was relaxing and she also felt ecstatic that she got to feel his broad and firm shoulders. Focus! She told herself.
'Lord Derek, please pay more attention to your health. You seem to forget to sleep these days. You always over work yourself-' She stopped grumbling when she noticed she was talking to an unconscious man. She chuckled lightly looking at his cute and vulnerable look. His face was peaceful and his lips were slightly parted. That the most peaceful she had ever seen him and she was sincerely happy to see him that peaceful. He almost looked like a different person.She was always very concerned about him and his health, so when she came to his apartment last night and found him awake working, she knew had to do something about. It felt like work was actually his first name and not Derek. 'You're very hard working and dedicated but please pay attention to health, no one's saying you shouldn't work, just please pay-' she stopped with his phone beeped. His eyes flashed open at once, staring right at her like a ghost and she flickered a little since it scared her.
He was fully awake and he reached for his phone. May wondered what was so important that he rose up at once like that. She peeked to see what was on his phone and her eyes widen. She was literally unable to speak and her hands started shaking. 'Seems the Heather you spoke so proudly, already has to die' Derek said with all bluntness and nonchalance, ready to discard her chip immediately. He knew she peeked at his phone and saw the message as well but, was totally unconcerned. { Alpha Lord's Consort, Heather Melvin chip has been disabled}
May watched with widened glassy eyes, as he opened the app to see where Heather was. May could hear her heart pounding, it was so fast that it felt like it would pop out of her chest any second. A painful sound between a whimper and a gasp escaped her lips when she saw that Heather was still within ARC's boundaries. If Heather was even half an Inch outside the boundaires, he would her discarded her chip and she would have dropped dead on the spot.
'She has luck on her side. Let's see if she survives her punishment' Derek said and got up, walking out of the room without looking back at her.
May became numb, she lost her balance and almost fell down if she didn't hold the chair for support. She shivered with tears spilling out of her eyes. She was trembling in fear and hyperventilating 'Wh-what is, no- It can't be, Heather can't. Nnn-nothing would happen to her-sshh would be fine. Nnn-no...' she violently shook head and hand telling her nothing would happen to Heather repeatedly. Her shivering hands rumoured her head as she continued to disagree like a madwoman. She managed to gather herself to leave Derek's apartment, though she was shaking every step of the way. Only the thought of something happening to her already got May insane. Wouldn't she kill herself if Heather were to die?
