Chapter 31

EMMA'S POV

My knees were hurting like hell and now lucius was telling me that that moron didn't mean to do what he did. No I think that he meant it and I was going to make him pay dearly for that, there was no way in hell I was going to let it slide. "Mrs Courtney the young master has asked for your presence." Butler X said emerging out of nowhere, someone could have ended up thinking that this guy was a ghost.

"Tell him that if he wants to see me then he should come to me because I can't walk and it's all his fault." I said still feeling the throbbing pain on my knees.

"I'll go and get some painkillers for you." Lucius said standing up and leaving.

"Alright then I'll tell him that." Butler X said and he left. I was so angry I felt like punching something or someone and I knew damn well that that someone I wanted to hit so badly was non other than that asshole Maynard. The last thing I wanted was him telling me what to do, my knees hurt like hell, it was hard for me to stand up, the pain that I felt while kneeling on the pavement under the hot sun was too much for me to bear. I had never experienced such intense pain in my life, I could literally feel my knees burning, I even prayed to God and begged him to let me faint or die because the pain was just too much. When lucius picked me up I felt as if the skin on my knees was pealing off. I was really going to make him pay for what he had done to me, but I just had to think of ways to make him pay the price for it.

After a few minutes I saw Maynard entering the living room, he was the same, expressionless. He didn't show any kind of emotion on his face it was just plain. He walked in slowly and then he sat down on the sofa that was in front of me. "What is it that you want?" I asked him.

"Nothing much I just wanted to tell you that, we will be going to visit my parents tomorrow." He said.

"What, in my condition!? Sorry asshole but I am not going anywhere." I said.

"If I remember correctly you signed a contract with me and one of the rules in it said that you have to listen to me and do as I say without question, so you don't have a choice." He said. If I was able to stand then I would he jumped at him and beat the life out of him." And stop calling me an asshole. "He said.

"You don't get to tell me what I should say or shouldn't say and trust me asshole I am not going anywhere." I said, I really meant if, but I just wasn't sure if I was really not going to go.

"I see you become bolder now huh? Mayne I should make you kneel some more because you just don't seem to learn your lesson." He said.

"I am not going anywhere and that's final." I said. I really wished that i didn't have to be controlled by this man.

"If you don't want to go because you can't walk then you will use a wheelchair." He said.

"Hey I got the painkillers." Lucius said entering the living room.

"It took you long enough." I said. I was already in a bad mood. He gave me the small packet that had painkillers. The pills looked strange, and the packet had no name on it.

"Sorry to trouble you lucius but can you please get me a glass of water?" I asked him and he nodded, he then made his way into the kitchen. Well at least he was nice unlike his asshole brother that only thought about nobody but himself, sometimes I wondered if they were even related.

After a few minutes he came back and he gave me the glass of water and I drank the pills and to my surprise I instantly stopped feeling the pain in my knees. I looked up at him and he gave me a reassuring smile. "thank you." I said smiling back at him and I could feel Maynard's eyes on us.

"My pleasure." He said. Come to think of it, lucius had a really beautiful smile and he had dimples too. He looked really cute. He looked harmless, and he also had a welcoming aura. Ohh how I wished that Maynard was actually like him, maybe things would have been better.

"Maynard don't you think that it won't look good if your parents see her injured like this, if they ask you how she got injured then what are you going to tell them?"Lucius asked.

"I've told you before and I'm going to say it again, mind your own business." He said, and lucius just rolled his eyes.

"Fine, but seriously stop making things difficult for her." He said and all he got in return from Maynard was a death glare. "Don't give me that look, you are really being an ass you know." Lucius said and I couldn't agree more with him.

"Lucius for the last time, stay out of my business." Maynard said and from his tone, I could tell that he was pissed, but lucius didn't seem to care even one bit. Well at least I had someone to stand up for me. It made me feel at ease.

It was 10pm and I was seating on the bed and I was busy on my phone, when Maynard walked out of the closet, he was wearing his pyjamas. I had really forgotten that he was even here. I suddenly remembered the money that my parents 'Needed', I knew that Maynard was the only person I could ask but we hadn't talked since he had an argument with lucius, and I was and still mad at him. I watched him as he sat down on the bed next to me. "Maynard, I got a call from Eloise ." I said, and he gave me a warning look and I knew what it was all about. It was because I called him Maynard instead of calling him hubby, but what difference did it make.

"Sorry, hubby I got a call from Eloise." I said correcting myself.

"And what did she want?" He asked me.

"She said that her and her husband needed money." I said.

"How much?" he asked.

"800 billion US dollars." I said, I thought that he was going to be shocked or something but he just had a calm expression on his face.

"Tell them that you are not an ATM and neither am I and that money doesn't grow on trees, so if they want money then they should just work for it." He said and I was a bit surprised because I expected him to give them the money.
