SPELLBOUND

After Ethan left the dinner hall he went straight to his room to get some rest, he spoke to his personal assistant about some business related issues. He then made some business calls. When he was done he checked the time, he noticed it was already late and it was time for Morris to take his leave. He stood to go check up on him if he is already done and ready to go so he could walk him out or rather drop him off.

When he left his room to leave for the dinner hall, his gaze caught a small posture walking so lifelessly. Already he knew who it was.

She was not focused at all, she just kept walking pondering on nothing. He wondered what she was thinking about as she climbed the stairs without concentration.

He decided to wait and watch her for a while till she successfully enters her room.

But she just kept walking staggering a little even without her realization.

He subconsciously moved forward to her direction, he wasn't even aware of this. It was just on instincts.

She walked on till the point she came closer to him. He thought to stop her but it was too late as she has already bumped into him colliding with his rock hard chest.

Before he knew it, she was already falling, it was so fast, so without thinking he immediately reached out his hands to her and pulled her up by her waist.

All this just happened in a fraction of seconds but it felt like forever, like it was executed in slow motion.

He watched her as she tightly shut her eyes. He knew she was expecting a fall, he kept his eyes on her all this while noticing every single expression on her face with his hands still wrapped firmly around her small waist.

His eyes were down, staring right at her. She opened her eyes so slowly and men! that move got him off guard as his throat worked In an up and down movement.

She then raised her eyes, tracing it from his chest to his neck till she reached his jawline up to his beautiful lips and pointed nose, finally their gaze met. How he loved that innocent expression of hers.

Her hands were placed on his shoulders as their eyes locked to each other.

No one was ready to look away, it was like they were cursed to stay that way.

Kamlyn kept looking at him right in the eyes. She knew she was scared of that fall which she was about to experience, but suddenly someone saved her, just when she had readied herself for the hit.

She needed to see that savior of hers so even if she can't thank the person, she can repay in some other way. Honestly she didn't think it will be anybody else apart from one of the maids.

Because the whole family members were all present at the dinner hall. Well! all except Ethan.

Her mind did not even wander in that direction, that was just..... just absurd.

But behold he was the one she saw, holding her so securely in his arms like it was a normal thing to him.

She could not look away from those eyes of his, it held her so spellbound.

They were both lost just looking into each other eyes like they could see through one another. The whole proximity turned so silent as if the were the only ones around.

But their little time was cut short as they heard some footsteps coming in the direction they were in.

Morris walked up to them when he finally found the person he was searching for.

He has been searching for Ethan for a while now, he didn't think they guy will be in his room. He checked the study, the Library, the balcony as places like that sooth his character more.

But he didn't find him in any of those places. Then he thought about checking his room.

And when he did, he came across the little drama going on in the lobby, but he decided to watch from a distance.

But for a while now nothing had been going on except both of them just staring at each other.

With a smirk he walked over to them making his presence noticed.

Ethan reluctantly let go of her little body, and when he did kamlyn moved back a little separating herself from him, putting a little distance between them.

His arms suddenly felt so empty the moment he let her go. He stared at his hands strangely,

He didn't know what was going on with him, but he knew that he does not like this feeling.
