Chapter 53: Suspecting the girl

I drove to the parking lot and packed my car. When I opened the car door, I looked and found the girl who came with the princess on calls at the front porch. I didn't like the fact that I was seeing new faces at home everyday.

Then Ethan walked out, I watched him lean toward the pillar, watching her from behind. "Pervert." I rolled my eyes and walked out of the car. My only mission was to see Elena and know how she was doing.

I walked past them without saying a word and found Ava at the step. She stopped and quickly bowed. I walked toward her.

"What's that?." I questioned looking at the tray she was carrying. "She had developed a fever so I made some soup." She replied.

"Give it to me. I'll take it to her." I told her plainly. She looked surprised, but handed it to me, once I glared at her.

"And I need you to do something for me." I told her. She raised her brows.

"Watch the girl outside for me. She looks suspicious." I said and started walking upstairs.

I opened the room and found Elena lying and staring at the ceiling in daze. I was moved at how depressed she looked and walked to stand by her.

"Why don't you eat?." I asked, placing the tray on top of the bed. She didn't move or acknowledge my presence. "Find Stefan." She muttered. "My friend, stand up and eat." I yelled at her. She flinched, turned her face to look at me.

"I want my mate."

What?. I try to be patient with her. "Hey, look. If you keep on acting weak, how would you find him?. Now eat before I…" I didn't finish my statement when she sat up, carried the tray and threw it at the wall. The tray came crashing on the wall and the medicine Ava prepared spilled all over the place. It was a mess.

I clenched my fists looking deadly at her. "Gosh, I'll kill you." I yelled and raised my hand to design her face with a slap.

"Stop it, Naomi. This is not a way to make her eat." Mom(Maggret) said walking into the room. I looked at her, Ava was standing looking unhappily at me, I rolled my eyes. "Hey, you can go fuck yourself, bitch." I shouted and stormed out of the room.

I sat on my bed angrily and shouted, I threw my pillow out of the bed angrily. Gosh, I feel like killing her. Why do I care anyway?.

"Take it easy on her, she just lost her mate." I heard mom say from the door. I rolled my eyes and looked away.

"Noami. You're always hot headed. Why do you care if she eats or not anyway?. This is unlike you."

It was true, I don't fucking care, but deep inside I was hurting. I do not know why I feel this way.

"I don't fuckin care. She's not the only one to lose someone. I lost my family too. "

"Baby. You didn't lose your family. You have me, us. That's a cruel thing to say, besides her mate's not dead but missing."

"I'm sorry mom. I'm just..incapable of loving." I sobbed.

"Come on. You're never cold hearted. Beneath you, you know you have a human heart. Humans are soft hearted. They are beautiful souls."

No. Humans aren't. They are selfish and bloody. My dad is an asshole. The thought of him got me pissed. I quickly stood up, "Mom. I have some work to do, I'll speak to you later."

I grabbed my phone and car key, then exited through the door. I entered my car and drove out of the compound with nowhere in mind.

Standing in front of a small house, I had many voices speaking to me.

Why are you in his house?.

You claimed you don't love him.

You're a fucking lying bitch.

Pretender.

Fuck!. I turned my back to leave and then I heard his voice. "Are you leaving already?." I turned, embarrassed.

"Ah, uhm..I lost my room key so I came."

Oh god!. What kind of a useless lie is this?. I've never felt this nervous before.

"You can sleep in tonight. It's fine." He mumbled and opened the door wider for me. I walked through the steps to the verandah and walked in without looking at him.

Inside the house, it looked exactly simple and beautiful, a small fireplace, couch and a center table. "Sit while I make the bed for you." He said and walked away. I sat on the couch, still looking around. This was my first time being at a man's house. I am not a party person and I do not like to socialize, that's why I don't have friends.

He walked out a few minutes later, and asked me to follow him. I stood up and followed him to the room, the room was dim with colored bulbs. Beautiful…

"I'll make a quick meal for dinner.'' He said and I stopped him. "I've eaten, Max."

He stood with his hand akimbo and looked at me. "This is not until 30 minutes after you left the bar, Naomi. Why can't you just rest while I make something quick?." He knew I hadn't eaten at home. Does he think I lied about losing my key too?.

"Fine then. Real quick." I said and looked away.

I brought out my phone and called Ava. She picked at the second ring. "What?." She asked rudely.

"Are you talking to me?." I scoffed and asked. I heard her clear her throat.

"I'm sorry." She apologized.

"Good. What did you find?." I asked.

"Nothing much. She is as good as clean." She replied. "Not so sure young lady. I can feel that traitorous spirit. My instinct never lies."

"Maybe it lied this time." She said in a whisper. "What?. What did you say?." I asked, in a serious tone.

"Uh-uhm, I mean it could be true..like.."

"You know what?. Forget it. Just keep an eye on her." I mumbled and ended the call.

I looked behind me and found a picture of Max. He looked so young with his mom. I smiled and ran my hand over it. Then, I heard the door open.
