Chapter Twenty-Five

Madeline's POV:

I smuggled in the pillow feeling something warm and hard under my head.When does my pillow become so hard?. I opened my eyes leisurely and blinked at the bright light in the room.Then my eyes moved to the pillow where my head was still resting.

I felt like gulping at the sight of abs that looks like someone has sculptured them. His tan skin was shining under the sun light almost making me feel like I'm staring at some statue made up by chromium. My eyes moved to his almost bare chest and my head shot up from it.

I sat up on the bed and stared at the man that's laying beside me with his shirt raised up from his stomach almost showing his well sculptured body.

Then I remembered everything from entering in my room to hitting my head but how the hell did we end up in a same bed is something I'm completely oblivious.

Then a fair strike me and I screamed loudly.

"What?". Sebastian groaned sitting up on the bed.

"What are you doing in my bed? What the hell?". I screamed scrambling away from the bed and his warmth.

"Don't scream woman! It'll not look good on my part if my stuff hears you". Sebastian said while massaging his head.

My face exploded in anger at his double meaning words. I don't care who the hell he's at that moment, picking up the pillow I hit it on his face.

He fell backward on the bed and I started pressing the pillow on his face, blocking his oxygen. He was still sleepy and his reaction was sluggish. He tried pushing me but I was strong at that moment, the one with the power while he's struggling beneath me.

"Get off me woman". I heard his muffled yell.

His hands were trying to push me off his stomach as I was straddling him and focused on killing him by blocking his oxygen.

"You're so going to die. What do you think yourself. You arrogant dumbass". I said pushing a pillow with more pressure but finally he got the grip on my arm and flipped me down.

I was to shock to react and before I could do anything Sebastian was over me pressing me down on the bed with his heavy legs. His both hands were pressing down on my shoulder to keep me from moving.

His face was red maybe due to lack of oxygen courtesy of me or maybe he's angry.

"Are you insane?". He asked me in a deadly voice while hovering above me and I lay beneath him unmoving.

His beautiful grey eyes were glaring at me coldly.

"No. You're an asshole". I spat making him clench his jaw.

"If I'm asshole as you say I would've left you on the bathroom floor bleeding or I would've thrown you out of my room and be done with it. I would not let you sleep in my bed all night while I sleep on the couch and get the aching muscles. I would not call a doctor to bandage your head that you've hit pretty badly". He said in anger.

My mouth was drop open at his speech. First time in my life someone made me speechless.

Moving my hand I felt the bandage wrapped around my head and the pain that I noticed.

Suddenly I was really embarrassed at my harsh reaction towards him. I looked at him nervously while my face was surely red due to the embarrassment.

"I...uh..". I tried saying something but the sentence were died down in my mouth when he smiled at me.

His pearly white teeth were showing dazzling me from their brightness. He surely have a beautiful charismatic smile that for a second I forgot what I was going to say.

"You can say thank you Mr.Sebastian you're very kindhearted man". He said smiling at me teasingly.

When his words settled in my mind I blinked and scoffed at his arrogance.

"Thank you Mr.Sebastian for not throwing me out and letting me sleep on your bed and for the bandage". I said with the smile.

He smiled at me brightly at hearing my words like he have accomplished something.

"And yeah thanks for being a kind-hearted asshole".I added pushing him away.

"You're so hot headed woman. But that's the only thing hot in you". He grumbled.

I swatted him on the head at his comment.

"If you slept on the couch all night then what were you doing on the bed when I woke up".  I asked him glaring.

He smiled at me sheepishly looking so cute. What hell am I thinking?

"I came here to wake you up but the bed looked so inviting and I thought I'll just lay down for few minutes to relax my aching muscles but I fell asleep".He said.

I nodded my head and got up from the bed.

"Where are you going?". He asked me.

"I'm going to my room". I said patting my crumbled skirt and shirt.

"You've another room here?". He asked.

"No I don't. I'm going to the quarter you provide to waitresses for living". I replied.

"If you've a quarter and you're a waitress here then why would my father's special guest book a room for you?". He asked frowning.

"Special guest?". I asked him baffled.

"What was there name? Yeah Nick Emerson?". After taking few minutes to remember the name he said.

"Apparently he's my father's brother. I just found out yesterday". I said.

"Holy....". He was ready to curse when I glared at him and he stopped changing the word at last moment.

"Ship. Holyship". He completed his sentence.

"So they booked a room for you on this floor. Why?". He asked.

"Because they wanted me near them as they've just found me". I said.

"Oh". He said rubbing the back of his head and standing up from the bed, dressed in white sweatpants and black V-Neck t-shirt.

"You're the Boss and your staff shouldn't have lended your room?". I said pointing out the mistake from his part.

"The culprit for this whole mess is paying". He said shrugging his shoulder.

"Good". I said strapping my stilettos.

I took the few steps away from bed and the pain in the head hit me making me stumble back.

Before I could've fallen flat and hit myself again I felt arms around me, steadying me.

"Ugh! Shit". I mumbled feeling the extreme pain and things around me turning black.

"Hey slow down". Sebastian said lightly pulling me back and making me sit on the bed .

"I think you should rest and have a breakfast before taking a walk to the quarter. You might faint again?". Sebastian said.

"I'm stinking. I need to shower". I groaned.

"If you don't mind I can tell someone to bring your clothes here and you can take a shower here". Sebastian said sounding hesitant.

I wanted to say no to his offer but my aching head was something that's making difficult for me to think straight.

"It's not like you can walk to the quarter looking like this". He said making me frown. I looked at him and down where his eyes were focused. There was a lots of blood on my white shirt.

"People will call the police thinking you've murdered someone". He said in a humourous way.

"Shut up". I grumbled.

He laughed and went to call someone to tell them to bring my clothes while I went to the washroom to take shower. Leaving my head that's bandaged up, I washed my body feeling myself relaxing at the soothing sensation of water.

After shower I put the towel robe around me and came out of the washroom to see my jeans and simple grey long sleeves off shoulder shirt laying on the bed.

I picked them up and went inside the washroom to change into them.

After changing into my clothes when I came out I found the center table in lounge filled with breakfast.

The sausages, pancakes, juices, bacon, toast, sandwiches, fruits and coffee, almost everything was there.

"Wow did you ordered everything the restaurant have in menus?".  I asked Sebastian who was busy in munching toast and bacon.

"I eat a lot. And also I didn't know what you like. Come have seat". He said making my heart flutter.

I felt my mouth watered at the side of pancakes.

Taking the seat on the couch opposite him I made the plate for myself filling it with the pancakes and Maple syrup.

I moaned at the taste of the soft melting pancakes and maple syrup in my mouth.

I started stuffing my mouth without noticing how much of a pig I look while eating.

When I was done eating a full plate of pancakes,two sandwiches, fruits and a glass of juice were missing from the table.I realized that Sebastian is watching me with his mouth agape.

"Sorry I usually don't eat like a pig but I haven't had a dinner last night and I was starving". I said with the blush.

"Totally acceptable". He said bobbing his head.

"And here I thought I eat a lot". He mumbled.

I glared at him and he just smiled at me cheekily.

After we were done eating, he got up from the couch and came back. He placed the two white round pills in my palm.

"Is it the moment where I need to scream?". I asked him,staring at the two pills in my palm.

"Nah. I haven't even started doing anything to you yet". He said suddenly leaning his face near me making my breath hitch. Then laughed at my face.

"Stupid jerk". I mumbled blushing at his innuendo.

"These are pain killers, the doctor left them here last night to give you if you feel pain in head". He said.

I narrowed my eyes at him not believing him.

"Take them they'll help in easing pain". He said.

"Really?". I asked him still suspicious.

"Yup". He said picking up his phone and tapping something.

"I don't trust you". I said making him froze.

"You slept in my room all night, you took the shower in my bathroom and then had a lovely breakfast with me few minutes ago. I find it hard to believe that you don't trust me". He said making me loss of words.

"Okay fine. I trust you but not completely". I grumbled.

"Acceptable. Now take your medicines". He said eyeing the pills in my hand.

I threw the pills in my mouth and sipped from the glass of water that he's placed on the table in front me.

We heard the loud knocks on the door and froze.

"Who's at the door this early?". He mumbled.

"Your room how would I know who's outside?". I said shrugging my shoulder nonchalantly.

"Right". He said getting up from the couch and walking to the door.

I hear the voice and whipped my head around to look at the door.

"Eehm. Madeline". My uncle cleared his throat and asked while staring at Sebastian incredulously.

"Oh she's inside". Sebastian said recovering from the shock of seeing my uncle.

I must say my uncle looks intimidating with the tall height and sharp features, I think it's a family trait we all carry. My own features are sharp, I've a prominent cheek bones and my figure is lean.

"What happened to your head dear?". My aunt Nina asked walking closer to me.

"I hit my head on the basin and blacked out". I said feeling stupid.

I mean what are they gonna think now, about me. Like I'm some clumsy stupid girl with the habit of fainting.

"Oh God". Both my uncle and aunt said in unison. Looking at me in horror like I just told them I've a cancer.

"Let me check". Nina said.

"It alright Nina I'd it checked by a doctor". I said.

"Really?". My uncle asked me.

"Yes". I assured them.

"Who's he?". My uncle aunt staring at Sebastian with scrutinizing gaze. What I didn't missed was a sudden care and protective gleem in his eyes.

Before I could scratch my mind and make a lie Sebastian said extending his hand towards my uncle "I'm her friend Sebastian Carrington".

"You're son of James Carrington?". My uncle asked shaking his hand.

"Yes". He said.

"Mr.Nick Emerson. My dad and I'm very glad to have you here. I've made it clear to my stuff to give you best of our services. That's least we can do for you for saving the lives of our employees". Sebastian said.

"No problem. It was our job to do". Nina said going back to stand beside her husband.

"She's my wife Dr.Nina.She was with me in the team working beside me all day and night". My uncle said placing a hand behind her back and looking at her proudly.

"Nice to meet Mrs.Emerson. I hope you're enjoying your stay here". Sebastian said smiling charmingly at her.

"Don't mention it Sebastian and I'm enjoying here. You've a very beautiful place". Nina said with the small smile.

"Thanks". Sebastian said.

"Uhm can someone please tell me what you all are talking about?". I asked making all three heads turn to my way.

"Oh I know your uncle and aunt. Two months ago one of my restaurant caught a fire and Mr and Mrs.Emerson was in the head team of doctors and saved many lives".  Sebastian explained making me nod my head.

Suddenly my aunt asked "And how do you guys know each other?".

"We met in a restaurant" I lied.

"We met in a club". Sebastian said.

Both of said that at the same time. Then looking at each other with the glare.

"We met in a restaurant first time then in a club and from that moment we become friends". I said feeling proud on myself for making a lie.

"Okay". My uncle and aunt didn't look convenance one bit but nonetheless nodded their heads.

"We're thinking of leaving so we need to talk to you. We would like it very much if you'll join us for a breakfast". Nina said.

"I've already had a breakfast with Sebastian".I replied feeling bad.

"Oh". She said.

"You guys go have breakfast I'll come down in minute and find you". I said.

"Okay". They said leaving us.

When they were out of the room I turned to Sebastian and said "Why did you said club? Do I look like a girl who goes to club".

He made a face and said "Why did you said restaurant? Do I look like a guy who goes to restaurant and make friends".

"You're impossible". I said.

"I'm not impossible, you're unpredictable". He said crossing his arms distracting me by showing his bulking arms.

"Whatever bye Mr. Sebastian Carrington I hope I won't see you again____ever". I said leaving his room.

"I have a feeling we're going to see each other very soon". He called behind me in a singsong voice.

I left without giving him a second glance and went to the ground floor to find my uncle and aunt sitting in the open area of the restaurant and having breakfast.

"Hi". I said taking a seat across them.

"So what's that you want to talk about?". I asked.

"Uhmm we want you to come with us?". Nina said.

"Where?". I asked confused.

"Where you belong, to your house". She said looking little nervous.

"I... I'm not getting what you're trying to say". I told her truthfully.

"We want you to come to New York with us". She said tapping her fingers on table.

"New York?". I asked open mouthed feeling my heart beat increasing.

She wants me to come New York with her. I can go to university there and start my life again.

"Yup. That's where your other Uncle and Aunts live as well as your grandparents". She added.

I've a family there. I think I should go with them and start my life all over again.

"Okay". I said.

A smile that spread on my uncle and aunt face was something that made me happy. They genuinely look happy and glad that I agree to come with them.

Brandon POV:

When reached at the resort we'd to lie and tell them that we want a tour to book the resort for our friends bachelor party.

They didn't looked convince but they took us to show their halls, gardens swimming pool and when we reached near the restaurant I slipped out of the group leaving Jake to deal with them.

I entered in the restaurant and stopped a waitress.

"Hi, do you know if someone named Madeline works here?". I asked.

"Uh Hi. Who are you to her?". She asked.

My heart started beating like a rocket in my chest at her question. It means she knew where's Madeline.

"I'm her cousin". I lied.

"Okay. I don't know if she's still here or not?. I saw her last time yesterday night when she got fired from the Job". The girl said looking at her back at every two seconds.

My heart stopped beating after hearing her words.

"She got fired?". I said.

"She had an issue with the customer last night and he demanded the manager to fire her". She explained.

"So where's she?". I asked her.

"She might be in her quarter if she haven't left the resort yet". She said

"Where's the quarter?". I asked her.

"They're at the back of the resort". She replied.

"Thanks for the help". I said running out of the restaurant.

I was running looking at signs that's leading to quarters.

After fifteen minutes of running round and round I finally found the way.

The rooms have numbers written on it and they were around fifty rooms there.

I knocked on the first door and a girl dressed in towel came out then seeing me she shrieked and went back inside shutting a door at my face.

I tried another door a grumbling man come out.

"Hi, Do you know in which room Madeline live?". I asked.

"Are ya stupid boy I don't know any garl". He said shutting a door.

I knocked on another door and a girl come out looking at me with narrow eyes.

"What?". She asked me.

"Do you know what's Madeline's room number or anything. There's fifty rooms here and I really want to find her". I pleaded.

"Madeline Hamilton?".She asked me with raised eyebrows.

"Yes". I said nodding my head.

"She just left fifteen minutes ago". The girl said making my heart drop down in my stomach.

"If you're lucky maybe she's still in the parking lot waiting for the cab". The girl said.

"Thanks". I yelled while running back at the parking lot.

I was sweating at the time I reached in the parking lot. Despite being athlet and playing football all my life I was panting because the resort is really vast.

I tried looking for her everywhere but no luck. I was running round in round to see everywhere when I slammed into someone and heard the crack and noise of something falling down and breaking.

"Fú*k my phone". The boy mumbled.

"I'm really sorry man. I'll pay you". I said picking his broken phone from the ground.

"You should". He said looking extremely angry and snatching the phone from my hand.

At that moment Jake found me.

"Man where did you disappeared?". Jake said patting my shoulder.

I shrugged my shoulder feeling defeated.

"Did you find her?". Jake asked me.

"She left already".I said feeling my heart aching.

"It means she was here". Jake said and I nodded my head.

"Damn! we should have come earlier". Jake said looking angry at nothing pa

I just nodded my head feeling my heart breaking and something ripping out from my body.

I turned around pay the man for breaking his cellphone and found that he's disappeared without saying anything.

"Let's go Jake". I said.
