" Good morning sir, We are here to take her ladyship back to the clan, " the man spoke un-hesitantly, hitting the ball straight into the goal, wearing a thin smile all the time.
Hearing his direct approach, Cizzle's dad felt disturbed. He thought they were ready, however, confronting it head-on, he couldn't budge an inch, as if time took a pause. This minute, they need to let go of their precious daughter's hand and send her away with the man standing ahead of him. They don't even know whether the decision they took is right or wrong. Only time can be the deciding factor.
The man, who seemed to be in his late 50's, stood still, waiting for the response. Not getting it, he called Cizzle's dad, who seemed to lost in the moment.
" Sir," he called, his face still maintaining the commercial smile.
" Ah....yes," shaking his head, Cizzle's dad lent way, guiding the guest inside hall.
Soon, he saw Cizzle and his eyes lit up with excitement, " Good morning Madam, if everything is set, we could make a move, " he greeted and got down to business.
One could say he is quite diligent at completing the tasks assigned to him effectively.
Although he seemed rude, his actions and words made him look quite dedicated towards work.
" Please take a seat Mr.Paul, " Cizzle's father immediately caught up and started a conversation.
Though Cizzle didn't respond back, Paul still wore his pleasant expression, not showing any bitter emotions.
Smiling, Cizzle's father continued, " Don't you think it's too early to come and pick up? You should atleast give us sometime to prepare, " his words flowed, as their actions did felt rude.
They called late at night and ordered them to send their only daughter, whom they raised with blood, sweat and tears. Now, without giving as much time, they came knocking at their doors as if collecting some delivery goods. How could they take it lying?
Paul, who looked like he could solve any worldly fight, opened his mouth with an apology, " We apologise for our curtness. Surely it is lacking from our end, however, it's in the best interests of her ladyship and for her safety. So, we hope you understand the situation. You do know darken lands aren't any near here, " He spoke, still wearing the commercial smile.
His explanation seemed plausible, as Cizzle's dad nodded his head in agreement, while Cizzle couldn't understand their language. It seemed English, but why does it sound so foreign to her?
Facing Cizzle, Paul continued, " We sincerely feel sorry to cause inconvenience for the lady, however, we request you to understand us and start with us soon," he politely called out Cizzle, while Cizzle simply hummed in response.
Getting up from her seat, her steps went towards her room, to packup her luggage.
" We can set in an hour, " she confirmed and turned around to walk.
Paul, who understood the situation, guessed why they should wait, so he spoke earnestly, " Lady, we already prepared everything you might need and if anything was lacking from our side, we could also get it for you. So, please only grab anything important to you," his words ended, leaving a bitter silence in the room.
" Why are they already bossing around? " Cizzle wondered, not at all Liking any piece of this sh*t.
"Should she just run away?" She thought of that possibility, but where could she even go? In this age and time, is it that hard to track down a person? Not to mention, they are beasts, what would happen to her after getting caught in their hands?
Shaking her head, she immediately slipped into her room, and saw her mother already picking everything which seemed important to her.
Their family album, gifts she received, her diary, and such are neatly got packed by her mother inside the room.
" I didn't know you wanted me to leave the house as soon as I can. Am I a burden to you?" The Cizzle who accepted everything till now, finally opened her mouth, only to spout her negative thoughts out.
Her words left her mom speechless, " No baby, you got me all wrong. I just wanted to spend more time this way. Please don't misunderstand, " her mother immediately spoke, attempting to clear the misunderstanding.
Though Cizzle knows what her mother's intentions were, she still couldn't let go of the bitter feelings inside her heart. Why does it have to be her? Just why? All she wanted to be was normal, so why did it happen to her?
As she thought, without realising herself, tears trickled down her cheeks and following, her mother hugged their daughter, who still seemed like a child in their eyes, making them worry about her life and her survival.
Maybe his instincts called him, her father too joined them and tried his best to console the ladies of Valentine house.
After having a session of family bonding, Cizzle went to her dearest little brother to bid goodbye. Looking at him fast asleep without a care for the worldly problems, she felt a tinge of jealousy.
She scoffed at that thought and gave him a peck om his forehead, leaving something beside his pillow.
As soon as he woke up, he used to flock around her, now what he will do in her absence? Will he forget about her and continue as if she never existed in his life?
He is the most precious treasure in her life, looking at him, her resolve loosened and she couldn't get herself to move.
" Cizzle, " upon hearing a call from her dad, Cizzle finally left Steve's room and bid bye to her family.
Guiding Cizzle, Paul happily lead the way to the car.
Opening the car door, he broke the ice and took the initiative, " Madam, it's going to be a long journey, so please tell me if you feel any discomfort during the trip. We can take short breaks," saying that, he swiftly closed the door and went to sit beside in the front seat, beside the driver.
Unlike his earlier image, Paul seemed like a talkative and nagging type. His words continued to flow non-stopply, "Madam, I know it's heart breaking to leave behind everything, but you can expect everything to the place we are going. Though it might be not so smooth at start, I am sure you will get used to it. I am sure, many people are waiting for your return and they will be happy to hear that you finally came. People ...
As his words flew like a radio, without knowing the herself, Cizzle drifted to sleep.
Looks like none of them woke her up, as the sun nearly set down the horizon. She don't even know where they are headed to. How can she be so foolish?
Sensing the little movements, Paul immediately turned to address her, " You looked like you were sleeping peacefully, so we didn't wake you up. Soon we will reach the mansion, " he spoke, smiling excitingly.
He said soon, but that soon only ended after a full 30 minutes.
" We are here, " Paul declared and rushed out to open the door for her.
Bowing lightly, he spoke, " Madam, please come out, the alpha is waiting for you, " he said and rushed her out.
She just don't understand why they are rushing. Does the alpha have a bad temper for them to be on their toes? What is he like? Is he an grumpy old man just like Paul?
Many such questions arises in her mind, which got thrown into Pacific Ocean, as a good looking man approached her.
Cizzle's eyes seemed to pop out of her eye sockets witnessing him getting closer to her. He is the real feast for her eyes. Black hair, with a well toned muscled body. His t-shirt didn't do a good job covering his busty body, which could just get ripped out of him if he took a deep breath. His blue hue eyes sucking the life out of her, and his long eyelashes made him seem like a boy out of anime. His high bridge nose and those sharp cheekbones, adding to them, his perfect kissable lips, he just felt surreal. He felt like such a tease to her and made her wonder whether her eyes are playing tricks on her.
When she thought she would be meeting beasts, the man approaching her totally made her a fool out of her own imagination. How can a beast be this handsome?
No, the phrasing is wrong. How can someone this handsome be a beast?
When he reached an arms lenght, she immediately strechted her hand to greet him.
" Owwww~ my heartuuu, please control," Her mind screamed like a crazy fangirl she is.
.....
A little extra words to respect extra's feelings.
Paul: sniffling ~~~ How could you change your attitude facing beauty and treat me cold? And did you just call me an old man? I'm hurt, I will leave this place this instant.
Author: No....You can't. We still have a long way to go.
Holding the leaving butler who is saddened to his heart's bottom upon calling him old, the author tried her best to continue the story together with him.
