Currently! I'm making my way towards Ace Mansion, with Bellatrix beside me.
Today didn't go as I had planned, but what the hell can I do?
I'm grateful that luck was just on my side.
"Why are you frowning your face?" Bellatrix asked with a friendly and concerned voice.
"I'm a bit tired," I mumble because that's the absolute truth.
"I won't ask... But I'm here if you need someone to talk to." Bellatrix utter.
She's adorable with her words and it's just so cute.
"I won't hesitate to do that big sis." I tease while winking at her.
We finally got to our destination, and I immediately headed straight to the kitchen.
First! I wash my hands, before planning on preparing something nice that Bellatrix would eat.
Just like usual, Bellatrix washed her hands, as she helped me out with cooking.
We prepare a fast meal, which is ramen. "Don't force yourself to eat when you are full, Okay," I said to Bellatrix.
She nods her head and continues eating.
I admire her from afar, because seeing her eat without being scolded is adorable.
I can clearly remember the incident that took place at the restaurant where I used to work
My employer had to rush Bellatrix that day to eat her food fast because according to him, she was distracting me.
Well! My employer is an asshole.
I helped Bellatrix go to bed after bathing her because a kid her age needs to take an afternoon nap after coming back from school.
Since Ace and Abe aren't yet home, I decided to sit down and ponder upon my life, and about the shitty things that I had done today.
"What are you thinking of?" I suddenly heard the voice of Abe.
I didn't even notice the time that he had stepped inside the sitting room. "I was thinking about you," I mumble, smiling wide at him.
"Which means my life is in great danger right?" Abe interrogates, arching his brows slightly.
"Well! It's something like that." I shrugged.
He took his seat beside me, and gazed at the fireplace.
It seems that Abe and his brother have a thing for the fireplace. "Why did you help that lady earlier?" He asked.
I exhale because I don't have the luxurious strength to reply to him. "I also heard about what happened." I heard another voice saying.
"Why are you all investigating me?" I ask because I was only thinking that Abe is the only one I have to answer to, but it seems that I'm wrong.
"I would compliment that what you did at the company is pretty cool, but I still want to know the reasons why you did that." Ace declares once more.
Gush! These brothers are going to be the end of me. "I did that out of instinct. Besides I'm aware that you aren't going to employ her, and the lady seems to need the job badly which...."
"What the hell Natasha! what's up with your excuses and useless lies?" Abe declares, cutting me off from completing my statement.
"You know what. The last time I checked, I could clearly remember that I don't have to explain myself to you." I utter, before rising from the couch.
"You don't have to explain yourself to me. Besides, I'm interested to know if you successfully find a job." Ace said in a concerned manner.
I feel like puking right now Because Ace's behavior is something else.
It gives a cold chill that reaches my spine and clutches my heart. "I hate when you are nice." I sneered, uttering the complete truth.
"I'm sorry if I look interested." Ace quickly apologized.
Now he apologizes? Something is going on, and I can feel it crawling on my skin.
"And why are you suddenly apologizing?" I questioned.
"I don't want you to get a wrong impression, Natasha. I don't like you, and I don't want you to start falling for me." Ace said out of the blue.
"What! Do you think? Gush! Just stop fooling around okay. Me? fell in love with you? Do you think love is in the air?" I asked, rolling my eyes.
"Can I perceive love? Can't you?" Ace asked.
From the look of things, I'm hundred and one percent sure that he's drunk. "Are you intoxicated with whiskey?" I asked, with an imperative statement.
"Hey! I'm not drunk, okay? I'm just trying to be free around you. Besides, couples do that a lot, and to allow this marriage to work, you have to start getting used to this." Ace said while smiling.
I shake my head sideways, sneering at him. "I'll only become free with you when I feel like playing such role."
"You have to be free Natasha. You have to start practicing it because my grandma easily detects fake things." Abe utter.
The fact that both Ace and his brother are trying to force me to be nice, I knew for sure that they are planning on looking for my weakness.
Besides, I have watched a lot of movies where a rich CEO tries to be nice to their maid, just so that they can look for their weak point, and use it against them.
In movies that I have watched, they would always use the weak point of those below them, and I mean they always tend to manipulate people with their weaknesses
Well! I won't fall victim.
"Are you trying to play me? Because seriously you both won't like it when I play back." I declare, forcing myself to smile.
"Natasha! Are you always like this?" Abe asked. I chuckle. "So you haven't realized." I shrugged?
He rolled his eyes. "I have to take care of some business work, so see you two later," Abe uttered, walking out of the sitting room.
Just Ace and I are the only ones left in the sitting room right now.
I need to make something clear to him, so I close the distance between the both of us. "You and your brother should stop playing with me." I sneered. "And do you know what I find sexy in a man? It's intelligent. A man who speaks with intelligence that you can't help admiring....."
My voice trailed, as I brought my lips close to his ear. "You both should stop looking for my weak point because I don't have any."
