"Adrienne, I never knew that you were thinking this way. I am perfectly aware that I am a psycho, but you were the only one who managed to stay by my side after hearing it. I never lied about my feelings towards you."
"As long as I am alive I will not let your life be touched by someone else, and most importantly I don't want to force anything upon you."
"These are my sincere words and just like how I always repeat, 'I can't guarantee myself saying these words to you all the time.' From time to time I might also be a heartless monster but right now I am trusting my heart, and it is telling me that you are the one for me."
"If you don't want me it is perfectly fine. Let's forget the fact that we too were even in a relationship for a day."
"The so-called father of mine that you are so scared of is also the person who is responsible for the state I am in. When the psychologists said that I was nothing but a psychopath, he laughed it off and said 'exactly what I wanted.'"
"I stayed home and didn't travel unless it was needed."
"But it is only me who knows what I have been doing all this time."
He had a lot in his heart. For the first time ever she was the only one he could talk this stuff to. He was surprised by the words that were coming out of his mouth but for some reason he didn't mind them.
"Let's just go in for now." He got away from her and looked at the open gate.
"You probably can't see it, but at the end of this flower garden, there is a house that belongs to me. We can't take the car there as I purposely didn't construct a road to the house."
"So we will have to walk there."
The so-called plan he had with him was to spend another peaceful night with her, all he wanted in his mind was to stay with her. The warmth he felt from her the previous night was indulged in his heart making him crave for more of it.
But he knew that he was not in a place to keep asking for that kind of warmth whenever he wanted to. In his mind, she wasn't a toy to her. Though they both were from two different social classes he knew that he was not in a place to play with a fragile life like hers.
I might not know what her true story is and she might not know what my true story is either, but as long as I can be with her I think it is going to be fine. He thought in his mind.
"It's going to take some time to walk all the way there, but the flowers and plants will probably take away your tiredness," so he grabbed her hand and led the way.
"Is this a property that belongs to your family?" She asked as she was curious.
"No, this is a private property of mine that I bought some time ago. More like the place where I used to hide wherever I felt like I was uncontrollable."
"After all, this is such a good place to hide after killing someone, there are no security cameras in the vicinity, and of course, there are no neighbours. There is only a guard and a butler here, that is all you can find here."
"So this is where you were when you went missing last year?" She looked straight into his eyes trying to get an answer out of his mouth.
"Well yes, that time I was almost caught so I was not here from the beginning. I have had this property in my possession since I was 17 years old."
Hmm… she let out a sigh.
"So why exactly are we here today? I thought you were going straight back into the company." She stopped by a flower and kept looking at it.
"Pluck it up if you want to," he said with a smile.
"There is no need, I don't want to run a flower like that. By the way, where is the answer to my question?"
"Ah, the answer to that is," he paused for a second. "I just wanted to show you around. We can stay here for a few days, and look around before we return back home. I hope that you are not opposing this idea of mine."
"No not at all," she replied.
"Come to think of it, we forgot the cake in the car, didn't we?" He asked looking back at the long distance that they both had come along while talking.
"Oh sh!t," she turned back as if she was about to run the next marathon.
"We can have some cake there, no need to worry about that cake. If you really want to eat that cake we can ask my butler to go and bring it when we get there."
"I couldn't tell you, This so-called butler of mine I am talking about, I don't trust him so I didn't tell him that we are in a relationship and are going on secret dates here and there. We both will have to sleep in different rooms tonight," he said looking at the sky with clouds that were flowing along it like spaceships.
"Are you sad about us sleeping in two different rooms?" she teasingly asked him with a smile on her face.
"Damn it! Someone is coming this way," he whispered.
"One step back, Head down and no smiling," he said pushing her onto the back.
"Master, may I know whether there are any bags that you would like for me to carry?" A man asked, bowing his whole body at a 90-degree angle.
"Not at all, instead, prepare some clothes for my secretary here. We had to come here for an urgent meeting," so we had no time to pack up.
"Certainly, sir, I can get that done for you," he looked over his glasses as if he was trying to threaten Adrienne.
"May I know whether our rooms are ready?" Aiden asked and walked past him ignoring the fact that he was standing and waiting for more of his commands.
"Yes, Sir, they are ready and your bath is also ready. I made arrangements thinking that you must be exhausted after the business meeting yesterday. Also Master Aiden the lunch will be ready in about 2 hours."
"I did as much preparation as I could since I got the message of your arrival only a few hours ago."
"Enough with the talking, lead the way!" Aiden walked away and Adrienne followed his lead as usual without speaking a word.
After another 15 minutes of walking, they both arrived at the house, which was gigantic. Adrienne could clearly see why it was not visible to the outside. The huge old trees that were around it had made it invisible to the outside world.
This also made her question him in her mind about how he was able to buy such a house and someone to maintain a place like when he was only 17 years old.
"I need lunch pretty soon and after that, I am going straight to sleep. Adrienne, there is a computer in your room, write yesterday's summary report and send it to the company within the next 4 hours."
"Come down for lunch only when you are asked for", he spoke in his original mode
"Mam, Let me show you the room that you will be staying in." The butler said with his hands pointed towards the stairs that lead upstairs.
