Chapter 10

Kate rolled around in her bed in the morning as the sunrays scattered across her face through the window. Her brain began functioning after a cloud of confusion and with trepidation, she turned to check the bed for him. She let out a sigh of relief when she found herself alone. Other side of the bed was cold and she assumed that he may have got up an hour ago.

Does that man ever sleep?

Her face became a darker shade of red when she rubbed off the sleep from her eyes and thought of what happened between them last night. She gently probed her lips that were trapped in his mouth last night and her body tightened as she remembered the rest of his deeds.

She casually glanced around to look at the clock and cursed because her online classes were about to begin in a few minutes. She rushed into the bathroom without making her bed. After brushing her teeth, she washed her face and rearranged her hair but also desperately wanted to wash away Quisito's touch from her body. She would have done it if she had time.

When she came out, a servant brought her breakfast, kept it on the night stand. Before leaving the maid also made her bed that looked like it had been hit by a tornado.

She had woken up really late and was very hungry. After checking whether the class has started, she sat on the edge of the bed and began eating. That's when someone unlocked the door and stepped in. Kate was looking down the moment the person entered, but she immediately tensed up as her eyes travelled up the person's body, finally setting on a stoic face – It was Quisito.

"This afternoon we'll attend an art auction that will be attended by many of the elite members of the mafia. I'll sent a package to your room shortly; wear a dress from that collection" He said, as if nothing happened between them.

That was weird.

"I won't go" Kate snapped, chewing on her food.

"If you won't then get ready to face the consequences once the video reaches your father" He stated before exiting her room and slamming the door behind him.

She knew that she had no choice other than to obey him but what startled her more was his indifferent attitude, because the warmth she saw in his eyes last night has been completely replaced by a cold demeanor.

Kate lost her appetite but some how managed to shove down the rest of the food because she didn't want to appear weak, especially since she was going out. She attended the classes till afternoon and after that began scrambling through the dresses Quisito had sent her, just like a raccoon digging a dumpster can.

At first, she thought he would try to insult her by sending up cheap and poor-quality dresses but...

Boy she was wrong!

All the dresses were breathtakingly gorgeous and she was having a hard time picking one. After what took like forever, she settled on a velvet dark blue cocktail dress that revealed a little bit of her cleavage. It also had a small slit on one of the sides that reached up to her knee.

Her heart fluttered with happiness when she tried on the new dress and looked at herself in the mirror. She was slightly nervous because she was going out after a long time and was super excited to meet people other than her maids and body guards.

"Ma'am...sir is asking for you" a maid informed from outside the door.

"Tell him that I'll be down in five minutes" Kate called out as she fixed her hair.

She didn't put on any make up because she hated it, but she was addicted to lip gloss. She gave her lips one swipe of her tongue, dried it and applied a thin layer of cherry flavored lip gloss. She wore black heels and tiny stud diamond earrings that matched with a simple chain around her swan like neck. When she checked herself in the mirror one last time, she was more than happy with her handywork.

She gave a flying kiss to her reflection on the mirror before twirling once and exiting the room.

Kate could literally hear her heartbeat when she walked down the steps of the mansion after spotting Quisito next to a black car. He wore a black tux and looked like a perfect gentleman.

His eyes devoured her approaching form like a hungry wolf. She looked stunning. When she gave him a nervous smile, he immediately wanted to pull her to him and kiss her till midnight but restrained himself and proceeded to open the door to the passenger seat. When she elegantly got inside the car, he shut the door, rounded the car and got in the driver seat.

Her palms became sweaty and her lungs complained about lack of oxygen at his proximity. She rolled down a window to get some air but midway Quisito rolled it up and switched on the A/C. She gave him a stink eye before rolling down the window again, but he closed it completely and locked it. After a few more irritated tries she gave up with a huff and sunk back into her seat and crossed her arms, her face pouting in anger.

Quisito smirked at her reaction and put the car into gear and began driving, after checking the status of the escort cars in the front and back.
