Chapter 14
While I’m thinking about revealing their affair to Elijah, a hand warps around my eyes and warns me not to make any noise. Without any noise, that person led me to another place. That person's name was "Elijah," and I'm not sure whether I should be happy that he was aware of their affair or sad that he doesn't remember me. I looked at his eyes with pain-filled eyes as he hugged me. My heart was racing at first. But wait, it’s not right. I don’t know in what sense he hugged me. Is he going to cheat on them because they're cheating on us, or is he just trying to make me feel better?
while I’m trying to figure it out. He chuckled. "Tina." He called me as I looked at him.
"You have become dumber." He chuckled as he said this.
Why is he talking so casually to me? I thought to myself, but I hadn’t noticed the way he called me.
After sometime, Amelia came to the library. "Sorry, I couldn’t find any maids." She said it with a fake smile.
"How could you possibly find a maid when you've already assigned them work outside the palace?" Elijah chuckled.
"He always does that. Don’t mind him, my lady," She faked a smile, her lip gloss was smeared, and her hair was uncombed.
"Don’t always talk like you know me." He yelled and turned towards me.
"My lady, can we go to the garden?" He inquired as I nodded.
"Ask me, What do you want to know?" He asked me.
"Do I have parents here?" He asked me.
"Don’t fall for the magic here. Whatever you are experiencing here is not true. Search for yourself and your loved ones. Go forward; don’t stay back. Only you have the power to change everything. I can’t and shouldn’t interfere in this matter. " And here's what you thought was lost in your world: take this!" He gave me the book that my dad showed me. That means he remembers everything. I don’t have any words to explain. What I’m feeling right now I feel a strong sensation in my heart. My eyes were filled with tears.
"Sorry, I can’t do anything but watch you." He said this and kissed me on my forehead as I stood like a missing child at a festival.
He understood my feelings and said, "Don’t worry, Tina; I will always look out for you. I won’t let any danger near you."
While we were talking, one of the maids came to us and said. "My lady, it’s time for your daily skin routine."
"What routine?" He questioned her and looked at me as I shook my head, indicating that I didn't know.
It’s just a skin routine. as I finished my routine. Dylan entered the room.
"Honey." He called me as I glared at him.
"Okay, Valentina. If you are bored, can you come and help me with the company?" He asked me.
Woah, this world has company too. I wondered. It’s not a bad idea to help him manage the company. I will be able to know about this world too. But what if he takes advantage of me. Then I will transform into the Death God Yama for him. I giggled because my thoughts were in my mind, but I forgot Dylan was in front of me.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Nothing, Nothing. I can help with your business."
"Okay, then I will appoint your personal assistant. He will explain everything to you." He said.
"When can I start working?" I asked him as he told me, "Whenever you want."
"Then send him today." I said this as I prepared to visit the Dylan company.
In between, I totally forgot about the book given by Elijah.
When I entered the company, everyone wished me well. It seems like they already know me. Amelia is also standing there, as Dylan came to me.
"The assistant who I appointed for you is out of station. Kindly take Amelia as your assistant in his absence. But I can feel the change in Amelia’s expression. She changed her face, like she didn’t want me to be here. I smiled at her, but she forced herself to smile at me. Dylan offered me the room next to his. I could hear the heated argument between Amelia and Dylan from my room.
"Why is she here?" Amelia asked him.
"Do you have any problem with that?" He asked her with a stern tone.
"Yes, I have a problem with that. You are mine, and only mine. I'm not going to share you with any b*tches. Dylan gave her a deathly glare, she said.
"Who are you calling, bitch? You are the bitch. Who is always trying to mess with men or other people’s boyfriends. At first, what made you think you had the right to question me? Huh? Just because I fucked you doesn't mean I'll elevate you in my family. Amelia, Remember this if you offend Valentina. Think of it as your last day on this planet." He warned her as she left the room.
"My lady, Can I come in?" Amelia asked me as she knocked on the door of my room.
"Yes." As she entered the room, I said She acted like she owned the company. She said, "I just have to follow her words, nothing more." I nodded, as I knew arguing with her was completely wasting my time. I assumed Dylan and she were having an affair, but it turns out he is just using her. He lost my full respect. Because using girls to satisfy his desire isn’t something he can be proud of.
After I completed my daily task given by Amelia, she introduced a man, saying he would help me with analysis. His name is Paul.
"Mr. Paul, I would be grateful for this." As he began to teach me how to do analysis, I said.
While I’m learning, Dylan enters the room. "Hummhum," he said to announce his arrival as I and Paul looked at him.
"Hmm, this guy..." Before he could complete his sentence, I answered. "He is teaching me analysis."
"Ohh. Who introduced him to you?" He asked me, and before I could answer, Paul answered.
"Her ladyship, asked me to help her. My lord." Paul answered as I shook my head.
"Amelia is the one who introduced this man to me." As Paul laughed, I said.
"Yes, that’s what I’m saying." He said.
"Why are you calling her a lady?" He asked him in a stern tone.
"Because she is your…" before he could say anything. Dylan told him to get out. After this, Dylan came close to me. "I can explain it to you." He said.
"No need." I said that, and I asked him to leave.
