Chapter 23 - C-23

SARAH'S POV.

My eyes roam around the room in search of my phone, finally, I saw it placed on the little table at the corner of The room, I all towards the farther end, clutching hard to the invitation card,

I dail at Eric's number and he picks up just after the second ring causing me to grin

"Where are you this time young man?" I ask him yelling Into her phone,

"Woah, calm down, I'm home in my room. What's wrong?" he adds almost immediately.

"Well that's just perfect, come on into my room this instant" I yell once more before ending the call.

I sit on the bed waiting for him impatiently, wondering the best manner to ask him all the questions which bother me at the moment.

Not long after the door was pushed open but I had bolted it closed from. behind.

I thread carefully with slow strides towards The door as I unlock it, Eric walks by casually before laying himself on my bed, sprawling evenly as he stretches himself from every inch and breath possible.

I glance at her unsure of what to Say and how to go about it. He has shown little or no interest in speaking with grace even when he knows how dear she is to our family at the moment.

"What is it? I guess you didn't just call me in because you missed me?" he asks Passing me a wink and a sly smile that I would love to slap out of his face

Well of course why would he not be happy, he has zero idea what made id with child, just how at peace he looks makes me wonder how long he and she had a thing going for

"Grace came around," I say to him and I watch his facial expression fall almost immediately.

"oh she did," he says almost with a minor and barely speaking, the words coming out more or less kike A than actual Words.

"Yes, she did, and she made it clear to me that he called you but could not reach you," I say, walking closer to watch him fret a bit.

"yeah, I was glad I could not pick up the battery at the moment"/ he is easy to tell from how he doodles with his fingers on the bed.

"You could not call her back? Your phone is well charged now, isn't it?"

He looks at me and averts his gaze almost immediately, I walk closer to him till I finally stand to talk with my face aligned with his.

He looks up at me but he time doesn't avert his gaze,

"Did you call me here because of grace? I have better things to do like rest, I'll nest how she is later. Besides I don't know what the whole fuss is about. She would not be kind. Why are you acting up? '' he reminds me in the most arrogant yet nonchalant manner that makes me want to beat the life out of him.

I once did but I can't, not anymore, is way bigger than I am now but that doesn't stop me from doing what I want.

"better things, I can see what that is, speaking of which last time did you speak with Marie, I mean had anything fun to do with her or anything at all?" I ask and I can see the look in his eyes change. I'd more, this time he makes cold gas expressions but I know better than to be fooled by his gestures and words.

"don't bring Mare into this, it'd been a long since I last met her. I've tried to stay away from her and not even cross paths with her for a very long time.

You made it clear what you would do to her and I approached her again, and I've been sticking to that rule by heart, I

Remember your threats okay?'' Eric answers but I know he's far from being honest.

Although I do like that he's avoiding meeting my gaze, that shows how much respect he still has for me but then I felt I had trained him well and I had been careful long enough, just

When did he have time to go around meeting with her in secret?

"I did see you both exchanging words today and you both seemed really excited about it," I say to him and I hear him Cough awkwardly.

"It's been long I saw her it was just for a greeting that was all, see I don't get the reason why you keep stalking me around, I want to be as calm as I can right now but you aren't helping matters"

"Is that why you lied to her about being I'll?, a sudden sickness Eric, I told you to move away from her yet you keep acting in the exact same opposite manner.

Have you no fear for what I do and would do to her, anything that happens to her it's all your fault, I gave one simple instruction, one car as crystal instruction, stay away from her but did you?"

'What have you done to Marie?' he asks with a glare gritting his teeth together, I can see a few and fear in his eyes but I choose to ignore them.

"that would not be important for now, I have you simple rules you didn't listen you caused it..." "Where is she?!" he asks once more, this time serving me off the edge.

I take two steps away from the bed giving me enough view of his whole body and facial expression, by now he's seated on the bed, glaring and angry.

"She's in her room, well beaten, almost bleeding to death and I would not stop there, you can dare me, take a step towards her room, and then you will see just how ruthless you can be and I will be just to make sure your future is secured in a perfect manner."
