SAD SHE IS NOT BEING KEPT AGAINST HER WISH

While there was a commotion going on in the court room, a woman was pacing back and forth in her chamber, nails in her mouth. She made a swift walk like that of light to the closet and searched it. The thread was definitely not with her, who could have it? She glanced at the other older lady standing by the door, with a worried face.

When she could not longer take it, she asked. "Do you think he has taken it?"

The older lady lazily smiled and walked towards her. Patting her shoulders slightly, she calmed the scared woman. "It's impossible for a thread to vanish from that cave, unless it's from the higher ups and no one knows about it yet." the woman did look like she was persuaded so she continued. "I am sure you will find it. It special glow is itself a protection against predators."

The other woman nodded frantically and tried to stay calm. "Truly. No one should remember if all is well right?"

The older lady nodded.

The woman changed her expression and wore a poker face as she gave a cold look at the other lady. With her sharp nails digging into her chin, she tilted it up and asked. "Then tell me how you remember the thread?"

The older lady widened her eyes as she surprisingly saw the death look in her eyes. Before she could speak, a breaking sound was heard and her head turned limp as she fell lifeless to the floor with a thud.

Phantasy didn't know what to do with the gold silky hair that was in her face. She gently pushed him into the bed and proceeded to press a bell when she felt a loose hold on her finger. Whipping her head in the mans direction, she could see his struggling face. Phantasy gently patted his face and the man calmed.

She seem to get that he did not want anyone to know he had fallen unconscious again and so she stayed like that for a while until his face was totally calm. She then proceeded to press the bell again, but this time she was forcefully pulled into a bundle of hard muscles.

She heard a whoosh from the man and could feel the air directly on her forehead. As if she was on fire, the air traveled into her head, causing her insides to burn lightly. Phantasy did not dare move and could only stay in that awkward position, her head on his chiseled chest. If she moved her head a bit, she would definitely be able to get a peek of his great body.

Since she had to be quiet and let the man wake himself, she could not help but drift herself back to sleep. When she woke, she no longer felt hard muscles under her head but soft fluffy pillow and for some reason, it annoyed her.

Nicholas was patiently sitting, opposite of her, a document in his hands and gold frame resting on top his arrogant nose bridge. The serious look on his face as he read the document and tyeped in something on his laptop, made him look very arrogant and unapproachable. His extended long legs were tapping the table softly and his shoe was definitely shining brighter than her future at the moment. Nicholas was yet to notice the little girl and only focused on his work, so he did not know someone was ogling him until he felt something strange as if a pair of eye was on him. Knowing it was a sort of blue curious eyes, a glint passed his eye before he slowly looked up from his document and stared back at her.

With a faint smile, he removed the glasses and placed the document and laptop away, then he walked to her side of the bed and extended his hand. Phantasy knew she had been caught and didnt bother hiding it, so she took his hand which surprisingly felt hot again. He clasped her hands in his and helped her up.

Nicholas placed his hand on her lower back and guided her to the bathroom like a child his hand on her lower back was dangerously close to her bum and she knew he did it on purpose. The man would not pass a chance to touch her anytime.

She frowned at him and moved forward so she could no longer feel his hand where it was. Immediately she began to regret it as she felt the vast emptiness and coldness that now engulfed the area. "I know the way to the bathroom and can walk on my own."

He smirked at her and urged her in. "Are you telling me to pass a chance to touch you?" it was not a question as he replied again. "Never Miss Winter."

Phantasy could not talk back as she didn't know what to say to this man and could only angrily walk in.

Shameless Nicholas!

After breakfast, Nicholas who was usually silent at the dining suddenly spoke. "I will get my men to give you a ride home." he then gave her a side glance to see that Phantasy had stopped what she was doing.

She stared at the guilty man with a hard expression. "I thought you wanted to keep me here. Not that I dont want to go back but..."

An amusing smile slowly began to creep on his face. "Is someone sad they are no longer being kept against their will?"

She puffed and answered immediately. "You wish! I want to leave."
