I was already drowning when someone lifted into the pool with great force. I felt a hand at my waist as it lifted me up to his shoulders.
Gosh I know it was him- the demi god I just saw.
He carried me as he walked out of the pool.
"Hey are you alright?" I heard his calm smooth voice but I didn't say a word, I make sure I closed my eyes very well, I can't afford to see his face a second time. Without doing the mouth to mouth, he carried me all the way walking into the mansion I guess. Ah finally I found a way to go into the mansion without much stress, I swear I'll put on this sleeping beauty drama until they take me to my room.
Dawson's p.o.v
"So son since you've gotten a maid it's hard time we leave and we will be boarding our flight first thing tomorrow morning.." mum said at the middle of the dinner while were all where eating, except for Jeong who probably got lost after I asked him to.
"Okay." I mumbled looking at my food.
"By the way, how do you like your new maid?" She asked enticingly. And that reminds me, I haven't set my eyes on her again after leaving her at the ranch. I took up my bottle water and gulp some down then I continue eating, not replying back.
Mum understand my mood and didn't bother pushing it. suddenly jeong, barged in carrying someone in his hand.
"Kim jeong gyu!" Krystal called as everyone turned to face him.
Wait isn't that carla? He is carrying??
I felt angered at the scenario of those two but I hid it a bit.
Mum and Krystal was in a flap, worrying like she's dead.
Mum: Jeong what happened to the girl?? Why are you carrying her that way??"
Kim Jeong gyu shot me a stare and I flashed him a deadly glare, clutching my knife.
Kim jeong gyu: I saw the strange lady at the pool side staring helplessly at me and then when I decided to talk to her, she twirled suddenly and that was how she feel into the pool."
"Oh my goodness.. Carla was she hurt?? Did she blink her eyes open??" Krystal shreicked as she was stroking her hair tenderly.
The sight was so annoying.
"I'll be heading to my room now.."
I drop my cutlery and walked out of the scene heading to my room, fed up of the drama.
Carla's p.o.v.
I heard Dawson said he will be going to his room but that didn't have any effect on the panicking of lady Kystal.
"Okay let's just take her to her room now.."
Exactly what I want.
"Come with me.." Krystal said and the guy carrying me started walking off with me.
I can't just wait to disengaged from this folk, I was getting itchy. After some time, they finally stopped and I heard the sound of a door, then he carried me in and laid me gently on the comfy bed.
Finally!!
But wait, I felt someone's breath fanning my face and I was tempted to open my eyes but I can't just do it.
"And why are you staring at her lips that way Kim jeong gyu? Are you thinking of adding her to your crew??" I heard Kystal's voice and that was when I felt someone pulled away from me, I couldn't feel the breath anymore. I heard the door creaked open.
I opened one eye to see the Kim jeong gyu guy, walking out of through the door, while Krystal folded her hands facing his direction. Then she turned to me and I wanted to close my eyes back but she already caught me.
"Hey Carla how are you now?" she beamed with a sigh of relief as she came to sit beside me.
"Yeah I guess I am fine now.." I said and sat up immediately.
"You know, you almost drowned minutes ago." She whined and all I could do is nod as my lips form an 'o'
"So Carla tell me how was your first job today as
Dawson personal maid?"
She inquired Changing the topic, turning to face me.
And I remembered how that bastard had tried killing me and what he did to me at the ranch. I bit my lips angrily as I starts to fidget, as if she understood my mood, she smiled and interlocked her palm on mine.
"You see I understand that getting along with someone like Dawson is like hell,
he's as dangerous as a Black Mamba he can treats other people cruelly especially when it comes to ladies but one side thing about him is that he can be a million times sweeter than honey when you get on his good side , and you will definitely be the happiest person right next to him." She urged me on with a smile, caressing my hair and face as tho I was a baby.
She spent some time with me and we talked over so many things, she told me that she's married with a child.
Little wonder she acts so lovely, she must be a lovely mother. Along the line, I found out that they all came to pay Dawson a condolence visit except for jeong whom Dawson is having issues with. Swears I enjoyed lady Krystal's company but too bad she will be living the mansion tomorrow with her mom, it's all going to be me and Dawson now.
Dawson's pov,
"Stay safe honey make sure you keep up your medical routine." Mum remarked one last time engulfing me into a bone crashing hug. I pulled away and Krystal gave him a peck at the forehead.
"Get over it boy." She whispered Audibly patting my back and I smirked.
I drop them up at the airport and in few hours time I was back at the mansion. Suprisingly I walked into jeong and joon-hee having some nice time, they didn't even notice my present until I yelled.
"And what do you think you are doing in my house Kim jeong gyu?" They both looked at me stunned, for a while.
"Oh! Finally you are here.." jeong says tryna hug me but I push him off.
"Chill, okay I guess it's not a crime for a junior brother to pay visit to an elder brother, am I right?" He groaned and I took one of the bottle's they were drinking and smashed it on the wall.
"Kim jeong gyu before the count of three get lost" Yeah Jeong is my junior brother but I hate him with every pieces of my heart.
"So Dawson, you didn't even acknowledge my presence,"Joon seethed and dropped her glass on the table as she stood up clutching Kim jeong gyu. "Actually I came with jeong just to say hi to you." she rolled her eye balls, giving jeong a peck, I glared at them as they put up a lovey dovey show. "So maybe you are affected at our presence here but don't worry I'll leave."
She pick up her bag about walking out, but suddenly stoped halfway.
"Oh by the way Kim jeong gyu told me lady Krystal got you a new maid, but I didn't really welcome that idea.. what you really need is a physician"
Does she really think I buy That idea? Well to some extent, I'll rather have that brat being my maid than some condemned bitches like her.
Tsk
I watch her leave the room but charging at Kim jeong gyu who was still sitting comfortably on my chair.
"Chill bro I'm just trying to see if we can still work things out, but since you are being so hard in the Brian I'll let you off the hook!!" He stood up with a smirk.
Then walked closer to me and puffed cigarette into my face before walking out.
Wait what did those came here for??

Carla's pov
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!" I screamed ruffling my hair as my gaze hit the wall clock.
10:20 Am. I raced crazily to the kitchen first. After tossing around the kitchen, I saw a can of coffee in the cupboard.
Oh, I think this will go right for the morning. I made about three cups of coffee until one of them finally tastes manageable. I took the cup of coffee and headed for Dawson's room. My mind was playing funky beats all the way. what if it doesn't taste good in his mouth?
'Positive! Carla think positive' my inner mind urged me
When I got to Dawson's room, I couldn't find him. I turned around maybe I should check him up in the living room.
I sprinted down the stairs and spotted him at the bar side- drinking.
"Good morning young master." I greeted nervously as his gaze hits me. Gosh, his cold Aura is so scary. Get over it carla' I mentally slap myself.
"And why are you just waking up?" He asked like a pissed man. I gulped hard thinking of what to say, then I thought of saying rubbish.
"The thing is I... I... saw... your g- grandmother in my dream I ... I mean my grandmother and she was telling me some fables and fairly life stories that —always spur me up so I got tied down and lost track of time..."
He scoffed and sipped from his drink "Do you really want me to fire you right now?"
I felt a bang in my head.
No, I certainly can't lose my job for the 11th time. My parents might just cut off my head and exchanged it for a roasted chicken. I stared at him without saying anything, until he spoke again.
"You know I'll never get you fired because being my maid will be the worst thing that has ever happened to you ..." he then looks down at my hands.
"And... What are you still waiting for? I thought the coffee was for me?" I slowly gave him the coffee in my hands and then I shut my eyes not wanting to see his reaction to it. I just hope he likes it.
While I was still closing my eyes, I felt something abruptly splash on my face.
I popped my eyes open to see Dawson's wrinkled face.
"What's this? Did you make the coffee out of roots??"
"N—no sir..." I became terrified
"What kind of coffee did you make?"
"Coffee sir.." I replied
"I mean which one? Didn't you read the content?"
Oh my god, I didn't even check!
"The one at the cupboard.."
"What!!!! That is caffeine and not coffee for amnesia patients how could you not check the content??" He spat as his face turn red.
Omg!
"I'm sorry!!" That was all I could say.
"Sorry is not enough!" He stood up and smash the coffee cup on the floor.
"You stay here, if you move I'll kill you." He walked off briskly using the stairs.
Oh my god!! I am done for.
What's he planning?
After standing for a long time, he finally showed up holding a big mug of coffee as he sprinted down the stairs.
He walked up to me and gave it to me.
I peered in close and it was the same coffee that I made for him, It was filled to the brim. after I collected it,
He collapsed on a sofa and crossed his legs while I wonder what he is up to.
"So you purposely fouled my coffee out of your stupidity now it's my turn to serve you, honey. Drink the entire liquid in that mug right now!" He ordered and my jaw dropped in shock.
"I can't" I found myself sayIng even before I could I stopped myself. that made him grow wilder, he pose a threat that if I waste any more time then I'll be dead.
I stared at the mug of coffee for a while.
If there's one thing I hate most in my life, That's coffee talk more about caffeine. I drank out of the mug, and as expected the taste was so toxic far more bitter than the one I made for him. He didn't even add sugar. I kept drinking it like I don't have a choice. I felt tempted to splash it out but I held myself. I broke down in tears as I was forced to drink out the entire caffeine.
"Now Clear this mess up." He smirked as I was cleaning my mouth with the back of my palm.
What an asshole!
When he left, I had to clean up the broken glasses, I had to clean up the glass he shattered on the floor making me hurt my fingers with the pieces.
Dawson's pov,
"Get the car ready," I told mike my driver while walking majestically to the lot.
When I got there, he opened the door before me and I got in.
"Don't come with me, I'll be driving alone!"
He bowed and I jammed the door. I am resuming this company once again. I parked my car at my personal lot and proceeded into the building.
I walked stylishly paying less concern to the greetings from my workers. When I got to the elevator, I, unfortunately, met Joon hee there. She waved at me but I maintained a straight face not sparing her a glimpse.
"Well I thought you weren't gonna show your face in this company again, maybe planning to also sign it in the name of KIM like you did to two of your companies"
mentioning the name of my late girlfriend was like piecing a two edge sword into my chest.
Kim!
She was the light in my darkened world. When life gave shits on my face she came Into my world and gave me a reason to smile. When my heart went shattered beyond repair she does that magic of picking up the pieces and making them whole again. She healed the laceration in my heart. She was like a sister, mother, and best friend to me.
I don't know what you call it but she wasn't just my fiancé, she was the air that I breathed.
I don't know how I'm still managing to breathe without her in my life anymore. How I could still hold on to this point of my existence, I don't know.
One thing I know is that my spirit died the day Kim died.
Well, you really wouldn't understand, hell you probably don't know how it feels like to lose someone who means nothing but the world to you.
I'll usually wake up to a sweet voice singing in my head asking me to wake up.
I'll usually wake up to see a beautiful woman but now all I see are biographical photos of her.
"Stay safe for me Dawson cause I'm coming back soon for you"
This was her last statement that day she had come to visit me before living at the airport. something that's supposed to be of hope but now, each time I remember that statement, I could just jump off the cliff and die.
I clenched my fist trying to hold back my hurt and anger.
"At least signing In the name of someone dead is quite better than a living corpse," I said in sarcasm.
"Let's not fool ourselves okay, you know that compare to me,
Kim was just some piece of trash and a replacement while I was your real girlfriend.
But come to think of it, no one can ever replace me except they wanna end up just like Kim so whether signing in a company in Kim's name or not, the fact remains that she's already dead.." Joon he ranted.
At that, I was about to hit her hard when The elevator came to a halt.
That was a lucky one for her.
I barged out of it living her behind.
Joon Hee she has the guts to speak such trashes to me cause she was once my girlfriend, I guess she forgot who really I am.
. .
"Good morning sir!" The entire board sprang to their feet immediately bowing their head to me as I walked into the meeting room. I took my seat before ordering them to sit.
Yeah, I'm the CEO of the company. we discussed about the preceding development of the company.
"So we have concluded that we will withdraw our shares from the very estates." Donald my p.An uttered
I objected "No need for that, it has already been finalized."
everyone's jaws came hanging and Donald stood up enraged "But the owner of the company is dead, it's no longer operative."
"Are you interrogating me now? I am the boss and I have the final say." I was still under my control. He started yelling at me making me drive my fingers in my hair crazily. It got to some point I couldn't take it anymore.
"Donald!"
I sprang to my feet angrily, everyone flinched in fear. I gripped his neck as I dragged him to the wall pinning him Against it.
"How dare you raise voices at me huh!!!" I attack his face with a pouch before he could say a word. I dug my fingers into his neck cracking his bones as I unleashed all the anger I felt for the death of Kim on him. I've been having anger issues ever since the death of Kim and he is supposed to be aware of it, I just can't control my temper.
It's in my blood.
