That day when i came down to eat breakfast it was unusually quite. Not that this house wasn't quiet but today you could feel the silence biting you . My feets carried me to the kitchen to find it all empty. I knitted my eyebrows together . Then tried several other rooms to find the same results .
Where was everybody I thought. I went back to the kitchen to see plate of freshly baked pancakes , streaming cup of coffee and scrambled eggs . After I was done and washed my dishes . I went upstairs only to see one of the picture on the floor rather than the wall . I picked it up to see Holden arms flunged around Stacy McQueen and a guy who looked like he belong to the cover of vogue . They all were smiling at the camera.
I tried to reach for the nail but I was too short . Even if I tried to jump several time to reach the height. I dragged one of the chair nearby and pushed it lightly to the wall . Then I stood on it . The chair a bit shaky but then it stopped. I stood on the tips of my fingers and finally I managed to put the picture on its rightful place . The most horrific thing happened one minute the chair was stable the next it toppled over flinging me forward . My eyes widened in fright because the chair was near to the staircase . I was going to fall to my death just like Thalia knight.
Someone snatched me from from the air and I was engulfed in my savior arms . He was practically cradling me like a child. My eyes widened to see it was no one other than Holden. He gently put me to the carpeted floor . My legs swaying and before I could kiss the floor his arms has gone around me . Finally I managed to stand straight with the support of his arms around my waist . Free myself from his arms by unwrapping them . I mumbled a thank you and I tried to walk away. Keyword tried to walk away .
"I am not done talking to you yet " he hissed at me his tone angered me he wasn't my dad ordering me around.
" Maybe besides thankyou I don't want to say anything else to you " i glared at him . My arms crossed and my tone rising .
"Is that so princess " he cornered me against a wall . His hands placed on both sides of my head . His minty breath fanning my face . My stomach did this weird flip . I tried to move but he was pressed to my body his lips touching the side of my face. If someone saw us now they would think we were making out against the wall . I tried to push against his chest several time but he was a freaking wall . Then he stepped aside turned sharply on the heels of his polished shoes and he was gone .
Leaving my mouth agape at the scene that just unfolded right now . I needed fresh air too much closeness to him was contagious. I sat on the balcony with my laptop in my lap & some files that were still remaining. I skipped through the files my brain blank . The scene from previous events still replaying in my head and for ones I couldn't concentrate. I put the files on the table and straightening my leg. I was carving for coffee now but the only thing was I don't know how to cook besides burning water or worst kitchen. "Coffee " someone pushed a streaming cup of coffee in my cold hands . I turned to see Holden standing there looking at me with a blank face holding a cup of coffee in one and the another in his pants pocket . He sat down besides me .
We both sipped on our coffees in comfortable silence . "Why is this place empty today " I asked randomly he raised his eyebrow at me ." I mean there is no maids , staff and I haven't seen Celia " . He shrugged then stood up from his place " They are on holidays for one today besides you , me and the security no one is here . " Then he pointed to my files you are the sole heir of your dad company right ".
"Yeah every property that he owned 80% shares goes to me in the companies and the flats and mansions are mine now ."
"What about the 20% share he asked ?"
"Well these 20% goes to the charity . Since his death 3 years ago I am the person who is obligated to hold charity events every year . The 20% goes to different charity organisations ."
"So how's the business world treating you ? I mean you are a girl it's not too easy for you to gain trust of investors and all . "
" It wasn't easy in the beginning but with my work I proved them wrong on many points. I am still struggling but the road isn't as bumpy as it was before ." He smiled at my example.
"If you ever need help you can ask my brother . I know you don't need his help but still if you need some guidance or any sort of favor just ask my brother . Besides how is Serra ?" I was taken back by his question should I lie that we aren't in touch any more . But he will catch my lie he knows we are best friends. " she is fine too . Thanks for asking She asked about you " he smiled
Then he checked his watch and his eyes widened "I should get going now . Take care Anna " and just like that he turned away to leave.
