Chapter 12

Chapter 12.

One week later, inside Keandre Niels castle.

"Oh my….! I'm really bored right now…."

Calista Kay was sitting leisurely on a lounger in the castle garden alone. He looked up at the sky covered by a large tree beside him.

"It's only been a week since I've been living with Keandre. I'm already very tired of being locked up here," said Calista, speaking to herself.

"With all of Keandre's possessiveness, he's never allowed me to leave the castle. I'm totally unemployed right now."

Calista continued to grumble and complain to herself. There is no interlocutor for him at this time. Saturation is very hit in Calista.

"Miss Calista, I have come with cold chocolate for you."

Suddenly a maid came to her with something in her hand.

"Oh, Oren. Thank you." Calista welcomed the little maid. He took a glass of cold chocolate drink that the waiter named Oren brought.

"Fine, then I'll go back inside..."

"Eh… wait a minute!" Oren's steps that were about to leave were immediately stopped by Calista.

"Does Miss need anything else? Can you tell me?" said Oren.

The maid felt that the lady was in need of something from her. That's why he didn't walk away.

"How long have you worked here?" asked Calista.

"Oh that, I've been working in this young master's castle for more than 2 years," replied Oren politely.

"Really? I see, it looks like you're only in your 20s. Don't you go to school or college?" asked Calista again.

Calista found it strange, Oren looked younger than him by a few years. But already did not work as a servant in his youth. Calista is curious about the story behind it all.

"My family can't afford to continue my education. That's why I work to support my grandmother and also send my sister to school," replied Oren.

With the tone of his voice, it seemed that Oren looked sad after telling the reason. For the sake of the family, willing to leave the beautiful youth and instead work hard and be confined in the castle Keandre.

"So that's how it is..." for some reason in Calista's little heart suddenly there was a painful stab.

"I used to work hard for Jason's sake too and leave all of the Kay family fortune behind. It was really painful even if only for a few months," Calista thought.

"And Oren, he was able to survive even 2 years in this castle. All for the sake of his family. He is even younger than me, it must be very difficult to face all of that," the love inside Calista.

When compared to Calista who lived a self-sufficient life, she even left all of that and innocently followed her stupid will.

His heart was very moved after hearing the story of Oren who worked hard to earn money for his family. Calista realizes now, that there are many people who need a helping hand in this world.

"Haven't you been to your house all this time?" asked Calista.

He really wanted to hear Oren's full explanation.

"Over the past two years, I've only been able to go home a few times. Young master doesn't allow all the maids to go out for too long," replied Oren.

Oren did his best to answer every question his lady asked. Try to answer wholeheartedly according to the situation.

"Is Keandre always rude to the maids?" Now Calista is asking her opinion about her husband's attitude towards other people.

"Young master, although he is very cold and harsh, he never gets angry with the servants in this house," said Oren.

"Not much to say, but young master never complains anything about the shortcomings the servants do here. Young master Niels is very kind to all the servants," explained Oren.

Oren who stood up, he explained about his young master in his view. Very good on the inside, that's what Oren describes about Keandre Niels.

"Oh really?" there is disbelief in Calista's heart.

"That's right miss. During my work here, young master has never been angry with me even though I made a mistake in front of his eyes." Oren dismissed Calista's disbelief.

"Keandre's cold attitude only exists outside of him. Actually he is very gentle in his heart. I should have realized that a long time ago," Calista thought, who had a little regret.

If he always remembers about his past life, Calista can only regret now.

In her eyes, Keandre was the rude man she hated the most. But actually, don't just look at people from the outside, you have to look at the contents to get to know them better.

Calista realized that now. Keandre Niels is actually a good person who is masked by the cold from the outside.

Luckily Calista got the chance to be reborn now. He had plenty of time to mend his relationship with Keandre now.

"Oren, do you know where Keandre is now?" Calisa asked the waiter again.

"This afternoon the young master went to the office and will probably come back this afternoon," replied Oren.

Calista nodded as she pursed her lips. He understood the answer Oren.

"Miss, can I say something?" said Oren asking permission.

He knew this seemed inappropriate, but there was something bothering Oren about Calista.

"Hmm?" Calista looked at Oren.

"Miss, do you love young master? I know this is very presumptuous. But I am very curious about your feelings for young master Niels," said Oren.

"I've always heard that you hate the young master a lot. Now it seems that you are being very kind to the young master after marriage."

Oren let out all his curiosity. He was very curious about Calista's feelings for his young master.

"Keandre huh..."

"Aa… sorry miss! I must have been very presumptuous. You don't have to pay attention to what I said earlier," said Oren hastily.

Oren already felt out of bounds to ask the host. Just a little maid, it was very inappropriate to ask personal things about her master.

"No, you don't have to feel guilty like that," said Calista, getting up from her seat.

He slightly stepped towards the big tree beside him.

"There is a very deep feeling of regret in me. Keandre, I should have been nice to him from the start. Not even hating him at that time," said Calista.

His right hand reached out to touch the big trunk. With a tone that shows sadness, Calista expresses her feelings.

"I just hope, now and until the end of my life, I will stay with Keandre. Atone for all my sins to him in the past," said Calista who turned his back on Oren.

While staring at the dark brown log, Calista recalled the past that was so full of regrets. Just hope, everything can be fixed one by one from now on.

"Miss, you love young master, don't you? It's obvious in your eyes," said Oren.

"Love Keandre...?"

Calista's eyes opened limply as if powerless.

"Do I still deserve to love and be loved by Keandre? With all the bad treatment I did to him, just hope all the bitter past never happens again."

Curious what's next?
