' It's weird , he didn't used any sharp method but he is acting so so .... innocent. What could have changed for him to do this ? ' She thought as she continued eating.
Only she knew that this man who looks like a perfect and outstanding person to the outside world was actually very fierce, twisted and possessive.
' I was worried for nothing, my stay here is even better than the Smith 's house. On my first day there, if I had not threatened them with Asher, they would not have given me food. I was ready to fight with anyone who was going to bully me here but instead he is treating me with sincerity that no one can dare to do anything to me. I never thought my villian can be this cute. '
Asher saw that she was in deep thoughts and he could not help but think that she is hesitating to give him a positive answer.
" You didn't replied." He said after not hearing an answer.
" Huh? " She came out of her thoughts.
" Do you still want to run away? It is not going to happen. "
Before he can misunderstand things further Amelia replied with a straightforward answer. " When did I even said I am going anywhere. And I quite like it here ."
He was relieved to hear this but the events from past came to his mind . It's not like he didn't knew her , she hated him not just for one or two days but for months.
" You didn't said you are going anywhere, but you prepared all kind of things to run away yesterday. "
" And why do you think I did that? " She didn't liked being accused without any evidence.
" A servant from your house did that if not for you, who will give them money to do this ? "
" Just because a servant from my house did that, it doesn't mean it's my doing . Did you even asked the servant , that who ordered him? "
His thoughts became more clear , indeed he never asked . He just assumed because his judgement was clouded by the past.
" This servant only obeys your family, so it means that someone else from your family did this? "
" That's right. "
" And who is that? " He clenched his fist , this greedy family agreed for this arranged marriage as he was providing them resources. But they dare to go back on their words.
" It was my sister ." She said casually , she doesn't need to hide it for her. Especially because she knows that her ' sister' wants to hurt her , so there is no need to protect such people.
" Then I will go in the basement and let the servant confess. " He said while standing up after eating his breakfast.
" B-Basement ? Why are you going there ? " She was surprised and thought she is thinking too much. She really hoped they are not kidnapped and taken here.
" Because he is in the basement. " This time he said casually.
" WHAT - ... Who else is there? " It was her time to be nervous now.
" The driver ,who was supposed to give you a ride from the back door." He said as it is a matter of fact.
" Did you lock them up? "
" You are so naive, do you think they are going to come here themselves to be interrogated." He said ruffling her hair .
" _"
Of course, he didn't tell her that not only they are locked but also tied. And he is going to punish them a little for trying to separate him from his wife.
But what he didn't knew is that she knows it all. Amelia was worried about the servant and the driver. She know that they are only following orders. As a person who used to work under other people , she can understand them. So she wanted to save them from any kind of problem that they might face in the hands of Asher
" I will go with you."
" You don't need to go to this kind of place, I will make sure that they tell the truth. " He thought that she is afraid that they are gonna lie and accuse her.
" No, I will go . This matter is related to me . "
Her determined face made it difficult for him to refuse her. So he took his hands and stepped forward.
" Don't leave my hand , that place is used to make people confess , it is not a good place."
" I am not a kid , I am not gonna lose my way . "
She said but truthfully she didn't mind holding his hands. He was the first person who took her hand and didn't left her alone.It was nice a feeling that someone cares for her presence.
They stepped down from stairs and reached the basement. Even though the place was not shabby and it has all the necessity for the guards here. But it was a basement after all , it lacked sunlight and the place was filled with negativity and there were some blood marks here and there.
Guards greeted them but Ameli's focus was on both the driver and the servant and she was relieved to know that they are not tortured yet.
Asher didn't wasted any time and directly questioned the servant. " Who ordered you to bribe my guard and hire this driver? "
The servant was totally terrified , he never knew that he is taking on such a dangerous task. Even though nothing has been done to him yet, but he heards the guard talking. They were talking what weapon to use on him , but it looked like as they were talking about what to eat in dinner. They were so casual with the subject of violence.
He came to know that the only reason he is safe till now is because Mr. Anderson has not given any orders yet. May be because he was spending time with his wife. At that time he truly wished that, they continue to spend time together and forever and forget about torturing him . But it looks like the time has come for his death , the only thing he can do now ,is to be honest . It may grant him some relief and he doesn't need to save a master who pushed him into such a situation.
" It was miss Lily , it was her. I did nothing, please let me go . Please, please, I beg you please."
