CHAPTER 11TAYLORWith the blanket in hand, I got off the couch and walked over to the kitchen to see what Fernandez was up to and I stood by the doorway to watch him set up dinner on the kitchen island.Once he was done, I cautiously walked into the kitchen and made my way to the island. Watching him closely as I gently pulled a chair back to sit, he stopped arranging and looked at me and I paused too.We held eye contact without saying a word but then he looked away and went on with what he was doing like I wasn't there and I blinked in surprise before deciding to ignore him too.So I sat down, pulled my food closer to myself and picked up the cutlery before I took the first spoon. Immediately it hit my buds, my eyes widened in surprise at how good it was.It wasn't my first time eating what he'd cooked but I had to admit to myself that his dish this time was exceptional. I immediately became curious about how he was such a good cook and even though we hardly spoke to each other, I

CHAPTER 12TAYLOR I didn't see Michael for another two weeks. He never showed up, never sent any messages to me via Fernandez either, and after the last conversation I and Fernandez had, the mood between us had turned icy.Ever since I asked him that question about the mysterious Blair, he defaulted and returned to the way he was when I was newly brought to this mansion. The friendly aura around him disappeared, and in place of it, he carried himself with an icy air, which scared the life out of me.He started to act like I was non-existent in the house even though it was just the two of us and it was only when he left to get a job assigned to him done that I could finally relax and feel less pressured by his presence. Then, the boredom began to set in. I got sick and tired of staying in a particular place and didn't care if the house was a mansion. It didn't matter if there were many rooms, a pool, gamerooms, and even a garden in the mansion.All I wanted was a change of environmen

CHAPTER 13MICHAEL “Repeat what you said, Fernandez. Taylor left the house alone?” I asked my bodyguard in disbelief over the phone and I heard him sigh loudly. “Yes, boss. I returned from my assignment only to see that she and the car I left behind were both gone” he replied and I quickly inhaled sharply to control the anger that took over me. I was fighting the urge to slam my fist against the table before me.I warned her. I warned her not to make the mistake of thinking she could escape me and not only did she run away, she did so along with my car. I was going to find her and when I did, I was going to make her regret what she'd done.“I can find her though, boss. I'll track the car to figure out her whereabouts because I know she can't be that far yet” Fernandez said and a little of my rage dissolved when he offered a solution.“Then do that immediately and get back to me once she's been found. Do not take too long because I don't have the patience” I ordered and I could visua

CHAPTER 14TAYLOR Minutes passed since the shooting began and it still hadn't stopped.My fear was starting to eat too deeply into me and it made me wonder if I was going to leave there alive.While I had thoughts of regret, a bullet suddenly hit the car and I screamed in horror as I stared wide eyed at Michael who was outside and had his back facing toward me.I watched him grab another gun from beneath his jacket before he began to shoot even faster than he did before in different directions and less than a minutes later, the whole place went silent and I wondered what had happened.The door to the car’s backseat pulled open at that moment and I flinched in fear before realizing it was Michael and I sighed in relief upon seeing he was okay. So I scooted over to the other side as he came inside and sat beside me and a dreadful silence filled the car for a moment.I opened my mouth to ask him what just happened out there since my curiosity couldn't help it anymore but then he snapped

CHAPTER 15TAYLORImmediately the car came to a stop in front of the mansion, I pushed the door open and rushed out to get some of the fresh air into my lungs and I struggled to calm my racing heart while I relived through every scary moment that I spent back at the cemetery. The bodyguard who drove us back got out of the car just as Michael got out too and all I heard was Michael dismissing him so he left and it was me, him and Fernandez left.The thought of knowing my life was now in danger because of the same man who bought me against my own will made me sick to my stomach and acknowledging the fact that he killed those assassins made me even sicker. I couldn't breathe. Neither could I even vomit it out so it suffocated me and my face got hotter while I ran my hand over my neck.While I knelt on the ground and struggled to get a grip, a pair of glistening shoes stood before me and while I still gasped for air, I raised my head to see who it was and I saw Michael staring down at

CHAPTER 16TAYLOR“I'm sorry I messed your shirt up. I didn't mean to” I apologized while wringing my hands again and to my surprise, all he did was shake his head as he returned everything he used back into the first aid box. Then he locked it shut and looked up at me.“You don't have to be sorry, Taylor, it's fine” he replied calmly and my eyes widened.“Really? you're not mad at me?” I asked in surprise and he shook his head.“Why? should I be?” he asked me and I looked away for a moment.“What did I say about eye contact?” he asked and I quickly looked back at him.“I'm sorry” I said and he tilted his head to the side as that studious look in his eyes returned and it became hard for me to keep eye contact with him but I had to… even though he made me feel like he could see through me.“Why are you always apologizing?” he asked and I sighed while rolling my eyes. Did he always have to ask me such difficult questions?“Yes, Taylor? I'm going to always ask them. So give me an answ

CHAPTER 17TAYLORWhen Michael said he was going to work on the fear I felt around him, I should have known it was going to involve me doing things with him. I should have known he was going to make it difficult for me too since he was a very difficult person.It started from the first night he spent in the house with me. Immediately I stepped into the kitchen, clad in my night dress with a hurting knee that caused me to limp, he handed me an apron and a knife and at first, I was too surprised to utter a word.“Fernandez did everything on his own without asking you to help because I ordered him to do so but he isn't here today and if I'm making dinner, you're going to help” he said while I stared at him in surprise and my mouth fell open upon hearing him say that.“You don't know how to cook, Taylor?” He asked when I wouldn't move yet and I shook my head.“I… I can cook. I cook a lot” I answered after recovering from my shock and he gestured toward the carrots waiting for me on a cho

CHAPTER 18TAYLOR “Congratulations, Mr Rover. I never knew you got married” Mrs Lewis decided to walk in on us at that moment and I was quick to take a step back from Michael even though on the inside, I missed the touch of his fingers against my face.“Thank you, Mrs Lewis. It was a private wedding” he replied and she nodded her head once she heard him say the word, ‘private’. I knew she had already figured out why no one knew about us getting married.“We'll be taking our leave now. My bodyguard, Fernandez, would take care of the bills for me” he told her while I stood beside him in silence and without warning, he grabbed my hand and together, we walked out of the store.He led us over to the car he brought and for the first time, opened the door for me. I looked at him while wondering why he was acting so differently and he gestured toward the passenger seat when he looked back at me.“Aren't you getting in?” He asked me and I shook my head before getting into the car and he shut

CHAPTER 19 TAYLOR “Hello, dad” Michael began the pleasantries with his father while I and this Miss Blair just stared at each other. Then he turned to the other man I saw back at the hospital weeks ago and his face looked even more stern as they both looked at each other too. “Hello, Carlos” he greeted, his voice cold and aloof and Carlos smirked just as I finally broke eye contact with Blair and looked at him. “Hello, little brother. You look very happy to see me” he said tauntingly and sarcastically and I looked at Michael. He had the usual blank look on his face while they did a stare off contest even though their father was right there and I knew I had to do something. It was my first night with the family so I couldn't let it start out like that. It could probably spoil their minds toward me and I didn't want that. So I decided to break off the tension in the air. “Hello, family. I'm Taylor Fitzroy. Nice to meet you all” I said out loud with the most cheerful voice that I

CHAPTER 20 TAYLOR I couldn't speak. I also couldn't move an inch or fight back because what if Michael ended up scolding me for retaliating back at Blair? I wanted to hit her so bad though. I wanted to make her pay for getting me all wet with juice but what if she also had a gun too? I couldn't take the risk and end up bearing the consequences so motionless, I just stood and stared at her since I had no idea what to even do and she just enjoyed the view. “This should teach you not to speak to me the way you like” Blair taunted while she held the empty glass in hand and right then, I started to hear footsteps from behind me. So I looked back and after seeing that it was Michael, a sense of relief took over me because I believed that he would defend me and scold Blair for what she did to me. I waited on the same spot for him to get close and once he did, he looked me over in silence. Then he turned to Blair with a gaze that was quite hard to explain but at the same time,
