Shock was written all over Rowens face.
" Don't you ever, ever mention that name again" with that she stormed upstairs, ran to her room and locked her door. She leaned on it and started crying.
' how does he know about thomas, did Charlotte tell him, does he know my secret' she thought trembling slightly.
She closed her eyes a little to remove the sickening feeling of her past but it was persistent, her hands were shaking terribly as all she went through flashed through her mind. She rushed to her bag and brought out some pills which she took and soon fell asleep.
.....♤♤♤♤
The next day, it was a sunny day even in the morning
She woke up a little sore and with a pounding headache, holding her head, she sat up adjusting her eyes to the light.
She slowly opened them, to see a tall figure towering above her, alerted she flung her eyes opened to see Mr. Chase staring at her with hatred.
"What the hell are you doing in my room" she said squinting her eyes. She stood up from the bed wearing her flip flops.
"You owe me an appology Mrs. Chase" Rowen said with dark eyes remembering how she slapped him.She scoffed and looked at him with disgust .
"I.. am ...sorry.....for you being a pain in my ass" hearing this he squized his hands to a tight ball. As if not seeing him, she bumped into him and left for the bathroom.
In the bathroom, she sighed in relief. She slapped him yesterday out of anger forgeting who he was, he could get rid of her wothout any questioning. Deep down she was scared but hid it with her fierce look, she doesn't want to look weak infront of him. She hates pity so being like this is her best option.
With that she washed her face and brushed her teeth, praying that by the time she was done he would have left for work. She did her bussiness and decided to take a bath to cool off.
She came out wrapped in a towel. She checked the room and found no one, heaving a sigh of relief she walked to her luggage which she didnt have time to arrange yesterday cause of the bastard of a husband' she thought gritting her teeth.
She wore her clothes and used the remaining time to set her clothes. She went down stairs still wondering why everywhere was quite even with the people living in here.
Going down she saw her worst nightmare waiting for her. He was sitting on the couch smoking, he does that to cool his temper.
She cleared her throat and passed him going to the kitchen, she heard no chatering of plates which was weird. No butlers not even the maid of before.' Did he fire everyone or are there on their vacation ' she thought looking around confused.' If no one is here that means we are alone, is he finally tying to kill me' she thought with fear swallowing the lump in her throat.
"What are you looking for" Rowen asked after studying her for some Minutes drawing the ciggerate.
" Well...i ..uhm...am wondering why everywhere is so quiet. Where are the staffs" She asked swallowing her fear, she cant be vulnerable, never!. He smirked
" Simple, i thought i dont need one since i now have a wife. She could do whatever they do and even better. Isnt that right Mrs. Chase" Rowen said with a sly smile and drew from his ciggerate.
"What do you mean, do i look like a full time house wife to you. I need to a look for a job, i have dreams. I cant just sit home doing chores like a maid" she shouted at him, her heart clenching ' how devious can this man be' she thought her anger flaring up, but she took deep breaths calming her self down, staying with him was enough for her to get traumas now they are alone, everything was just messed up.
" You dont need all of that wife....You have me, i have all the money you will ever need, dont you think.. wife" he said with sarcasm his eyes in a playful glint.
" I never said i needed your fucking money. I'm not poor remember and I can pretty much take care of myself" She shot at him, her eyes were hot as she glared at him, if looks could kill he would have been six feet underground.
" Then suite yourself, you can work for me then. From now on you will be a maid and you can only have your meal when the whole house is clean" he said with a calm voice like it was possible, his house was huge, how did he expect one person to do the job.
"What makes you think i would do such" She asked walking closer to him
" Well, simply because i can make your dads hardwork crash in one go, your father is looking for investors and if i give the press something to talk about, that wouldn't be easy, no? He asked with a sly smile.
" You wouldn't dare" she said through gritted teeth.
"What makes you think that" He aaked codly taking a smoke.
" Simple, you are married to me. If you give my father a bad reputation what happens to being his son-in- law" she said with a smirk. Rowen thought about it and she was right, how could he sabotage his father-in-law. She is one smart and calculative lady. In fustration he threw the ciggerate away and stood up angrily towering above her.
They were inches away and stared daggers at eachother. Her phone 'dinged', she took it out from her pocket checking the notifications and smiled.
" Well i guess i dont need your job cause i have one already" she said happily and brought out her tongue playfully making her look cute. Seeing that he scoffed backing away from her.
" By the way, its at your company Mr. Chase. Its an honour working with you starting tomorrow" She said with sarcasm and left to the kitchen.
'How is that possible, at my company, how did this happen under my nose' he thought very disturbed. He brought out his phone dailing a number.
"Hello, happy about the suprise" George said through the phone, laughing.
" So this.... How could you...Fire her immediately" Rowen said, his voice deep and thick.
" No cant do bro" he said hanging up
" What position is she....hello ..george" Rowen asked trying to reach him, he checked his phone and saw that he already hung up
" That bastard" Rowen said in a low tone.Suddenly he heard a 'smash' in the kitchen and ran over. Shattered peice were on the floor covered with blood.
"Are you crazy, if you want to kill yourself not in my house" he shouted at her
" Clean your mess" He said without sparing her a glance, he left.
She glared at him with a pained expression, the least he could do was to give her a first aid kit when he knew she was new here.She rinsed her bloodstained hands in the sink revealing the cut she had on her right hand in her palms.
'How could i be so careless, am starting work tomorrow, how would i do stuff with my hands?' She asked herself staring at her still bleeding palm, she went upstairs to her bathroom and poured some antiseptic making her groan in pain, she then placed cutton wool which she found in her makeup kit, she got her hankie from her bag and tied the wool in place. Looking down at her work she sighed praying it wouldn't get infected.
She went back down and cleaned up the dishes. She turned on the gas and started to cook for both of them.When she was done, she served for two and took it to the dinning.
She went upstairs to call him.
" Food is ready" she told him from outside and he opened the door.
" I never said i was hungry besides, how am i sure you didnt put poison or any love portion inside" He asked and she scoffed.
" I prefer loving an animal than to love you.... any ways suite yourself" she said blankly and went down the stairs to the dinning room, sat down and began eating her noodles.
He came down minutes later to see his food in the cooler still placed on the table, she was nowhere to be found. He sat down and took a spoon of noodles. His eyes brightened in suprise, he never expected her to be a good cook. Diane was bad at cooking so he thought all girls from wealthy homes were bad cooks.
Hearing footsteps coming from the kitchen, he squized his face in disgust.
"This food taste aweful, gosh. Do you plan on killing me" He said as he saw her approaching. She scoffed and took the food away. He felt all sad and gelly inside but stll kept a disgusted face.
" Well, i never said it was for you" She said taking a bite out of it. Feeling embarrassed he stood up angrily and walked out. She kept eating his food caring less, he did say he wasn't hungry, right?
