Three
Angelina's POV
" Arnold?" Katherine's voice came from behind and I spun around. I wasn't sure whether to say she was scared but she looked scared.
" Vanessa and the rest are waiting for me. I will see you tomorrow," she practically ran into the club without me.
" This way." A man dressed in black got out of the car and rushed towards the open door.
I hesitated before getting inside the car. The drive was silent, and after a few minutes, he car entered through a black giant gate.
" Where is this place?" I asked as I stepped down." From now on, this is your home." His deep serious voice said, and I turned my eyes to look at him. His mysterious, dark blue eyes stared back at me for a few seconds." Marco will take you to your room." He started towards the huge building." I have a home," I said, not sure if he heard me but I did have a home. Not sure what to do, I starting my steps behind him but I slipped on my heels after a few steps, hurting my feet.
I hissed as tears blurred my eyes, I bent to take off the heels when I felt a present beside me." Needs help?" He was holding a burning cigarette between his fingers and staring coldly at me.
" Come on, I will show you to your room." He shoved the cigarette on the floor and stepped on it." This way " he pointed to the other side.
" After you." He said and I picked my heels from the floor.
I don't know why I agreed to wear these damn shoes. " I don't mind carrying you." He said and I stopped walking, stared at him awkwardly." I will manage." I tried to walk fast, but the pain was unbearable, and before I knew, I had been scooped off my feet.
" What are you doing?" I asked, and he chuckled, " Stopping you from wasting my time." I held tightly onto his black jacket.
As we stepped into the mansion I couldn't help but peek around the luxurious space.
The inside was as beautiful as the outside. I couldn't look anymore because of his fast footsteps.
He walked up the stairs and through a long hall before coming to a stop. He twisted the doorknob and pushed the door open.
" We are here?" He placed me on the huge bed." I will get you something for your feet." I was able to see his face clearly, and he wasn't bad looking, but a bit scary with that scar on his forehead.
" Where is this place?" I asked and he stopped." What did he tell you?" He asked and I shrugged.
" He just asked me to get into his car."
" And you did?" He stared at me like I was stupid and I think I was.
I don't know this person, but I got in his car when he asked me to." I did because Katherine seemed to know him." I explained and he nodded." You trust Katherine?" I don't know but I think I did.
" I will be back." He left the room without another word.
I tried to get up, but a sharp pain ran through my feet, and I hissed." Goodness."
The door pushed open after a few seconds," I will help you apply it." He went on his knees, took my feet, and gently placed them on his lap before applying the ointment." You have soft skin." I pulled my feet back in an instant." You don't have to be afraid, I'm a man, not an animal." He chuckled.
He placed my feet down after helping me apply the ointment." Have a rest." He left the ointment on the bedside.
" Can I leave tomorrow?" I asked and he chuckled." Let's wait till tomorrow." He said, shutting the door behind him.
Goodness, why was this happening?
I looked around the room, and it wasn't bad, especially the soft mattress.
I didn't know how I fell asleep quickly, but when I opened my eyes, it was morning, and the rays of the sun were lingering in the room through the open curtains.
I stepped down from the bed only to realize my feet hurt less.
I smiled as I walked to the window to close it, but when I got closer, I saw the man from last time walking out of his car; he was dressed in the same black pants and suit with that crazy aura surrounding him.
Why was I here?
I remember Katherine called him Arnold, and yes, I didn't forget the reaction on her face when she said his name.
" Miss Davis, breakfast is ready." Startled, I turned away from the window." No, I won't eat breakfast. I will leave right now." I grabbed my heels and rushed out of the room.
I rushed down the stairs only to come face to face with him, Arnold?
He didn't seem surprised as he stepped towards me with slow steps.
" Where are you going?" He asked, something about his voice made me speechless as I stepped back.
" Don't you like it here?" His question made my lips tremble.
Was he planning to keep me here against my will?
" What did I tell you last night?" I frowned, staring back into his dark green eyes. " If you have forgotten, I don't mind repeating it for you." He halted after my back hit the couch.
" I just want to go home." I said in a low tone, my heart pounding in my chest." This is home, Angel." He said, his looking intensely at me. What did he me by that?
