Thankyou

Fear. Fear is common to everyone. Even the most powerful people can experience fear. The emotion makes people do stuff they would normally never do.

Kyle was alone long enough to think deeply. So far he had been in one piece since the day he was sold, which was good. However, he had assessed his situation and realized that it would be almost impossible for him to escape.

The mansion he was in was super huge and Calista had a lot of guards. All this meant she was really rich and powerful. If she wanted, she could easily kill him but she didn't even hurt him badly.

All this didn't put him at ease, it only made him feel a sense if fear. What if she got tired of him? What would happen then? No, he needed to escape, fast!

Just then Nolan came in and Kyle felt happy thinking he would be released. However, Nolan had a look of sympathy in his eyes. Kyle could only breathe out deeply.

"I tried speaking to her but..." Nolan said, "Do you want me to try again? Blink twice if yes." Kyle didn't blink, he just stared at the ceiling. He might as well plan his escape. But how could he when his mind was clouded by his tiredness?

Nolan saw the tired look in Kyle's eyes and sighed before leaving. Sometimes, Calista was too much. If only the poor butler knew Calista was going easy and both she and Kyle knew it.

As Nolan passed by the living room he heard his madam speak to him, "Why do you care so much?"

"It's normal for me to care. You're hurting him," he replied honestly.

"He shouldn't have broken my rules..."

"You bought him, it's only normal for him to even harm you."

She chuckled, "He is incapable of doing that."

"Harm does not only come externally."

"So he can harm me internally?" She chuckled again, "My heart is dead."

"I wouldn't say that. You feel bad for him right now, don't you?"

"So what if I do? Just get back to work," she said and ordered.

"As long as you're still alive, your heart will always be alive. You can ignore it but it will come back."

With that Nolan went back to his respectful persona and left after a respectful bow.

"Tsk, why does everyone think he's so innocent? Deceiver!" Calista muttered under her breath before she walked to Kyle's room.

Kyle had his eyes closed but he was not asleep. He heard the door but didn't open his eyes thinking it was Nolan. Once the door was closed, he felt that something was wrong. Since when did Nolan have such a strong presence?

He opened his eyes and his dimmed sapphire orbs met with cold hazel ones. His breath hitched, he didn't know if it was because he was shocked or because he was scared.

Calista watched him amusedly. His eyes were first dimmed,then shocked, scared and now they narrowed as if he dared her to touch him.

"What? You don't want me to touch you? Then I won't de-paralyze you." She said making his eyes glow in confusion. How did she know what he was thinking?

"It's kind of easy to tell with your eyes," she said again reading his thoughts. He was shocked but the remembered something.

Seeing his pleading eyes she chuckled. The way they were teary too... It was just too amusing. She didn't let the moment last though as much as she wanted to.

She pressed her bracelet and soon, he could move again. Weird.

What was weird to Calista was that Kyle didn't immediately speak and when he did he said something that she was sure would always shock her, "Thank you."

Thankyou. Thankyou? Thankyou! How? Why? Who was he? So many questions flooded her mind. However, he continued shocking her,

"I'm sorry for breaking your rules."

"Are you okay?" She had to ask.

"Yes, master, I'm fine." Now, Calista had to lean on a wall. She preferred when he was stubborn and she could scold him and threaten him.

"No, you're not fine. I think I overdid it," she muttered to herself. She then touched his forehead and shook her head. He didn't have a fever.

She turned him around and he but his lips to avoid groaning. He what been paralyzed for so long and his body felt very sore so her turning him like that was painful.

Calista scanned and scanned him for ten whole minutes until he could no longer hold it in.

"Stop it!"
