Vanessa’s POV
“That was one hell of a stunt you pulled yesterday, I guess I underestimated you. You're crazier than you look Vanessa”
“What do you want? Demon”
It was a weekend which means a work free day and I was enjoying my sleep before the devil decided to pay me a visit.
“Let me in” he said and I pushed the door towards him more trying to close it.
“Get the message boss, you're not wanted” I was too tired to allow him inside because he'll definitely complain about something and I'm seriously not in the mood for an argument today.
“I'm not here for you in any way, I'm here for the baby” I finally succumbed and opened the door for him.
He entered the house with a box
“What's that? I thought I told you I don't need anything from you”
“You think I'm this nice to buy you a present, I saw it at your doorstep. It's a package and the name on it…. it's your name”
“I didn't order for anything, it might be from a friend, just help me put it there” he dropped the package on the floor and put his hands into his pocket.
“I'm not your slave, you can't order me around”
“Ooh I totally forgot, I'm sorry, your royal highness” I picked up the package myself and placed it at the corner of the room.
“What?” I asked when I saw him staring at me
“Who forced you into that dress?” He asked looking at me as if I just dropped from the ape's dormitory.
“Don't even go there, I'm two months gone and you expect my clothes to fit”
“Then buy new dresses, what happened to the money I gave you. I didn't give it to you to keep, I gave it to you for your upkeep. What happened to it?”
“Not your business. It's no longer your money, so back off”
“Wait, do you have a boyfriend?”
“No”
“Your case is a special one, you don't have a boyfriend, yet no new dresses, where did the money go then” I ignored him and went into my room to take a quick shower before making breakfast.
“I need to take you shopping, let's go and I mean now. If you try to argue or resist, I'll so much surprise you. You know me well Vanessa, don't tempt me” I glared at him.
Knowing fully well the consequences of failing to follow his instruction, I dragged myself out of the house with him in tow to where only God knows.
After ending up at the Victoria secret store, he literally did all the shopping himself
Picking up clothes by himself without asking for my consent or permission to choose them.
As arrogant as he was, he didn't ask me what my shoe size was when we got to the shoe section that he ended up buying a shoe size 42 instead of 40 and I've decided he'll be the one to wear the shoe himself, I won't tell him about this until we get home. If he decides to be arrogant, then I'll be little miss dumb.
“Can you please stop at MacDonald down the street there and get me a hamburger? I want it really bad” I requested
“No, I'm not your servant and I won't in anyway stop and buy you anything”
“Richard please” I gave him that innocent look and he groaned outwardly before stopping the car in front of the shop to get me one.
“Thank you…. You even included a milkshake” I stretched my hand to collect the milkshake and the hamburger.
He started the car while I munched on the food with joy.
On getting to the apartment, we noticed the door was unlocked and that's strange because I locked the door myself
“What! Don't look at me like that. I'm pretty sure I locked the door”
A worried look appeared on his face immediately I said that.
I screamed immediately I got inside when I saw that the whole house had been turned upside down. The chairs, tables, cloth and even my room was worse.
The package that Richard brought in was already opened and when I checked it, I couldn't hold back the fear that ran through me. I was shocked to the point of just standing in a position as years roll down my face until I was pulled into a warm embrace
“It's going to be fine, you need to calm down for your sake and the baby's sake. I'll try my best to find the person who did this”
“That was my picture torn in the face with blood all over it. I can't stay calm when someone wants me dead” I moved away from him a little.
“You can't be sure that's the message that's been passed across. Everything will be fine, I promise”
He held my hand and pulled me into him again
“We need to get you out of here first, I can't afford you staying in a place like this and I can't let you stay alone either. Move into my house” I looked up at him to refuse but then, the look on his face made me realize I'll regret it if I say no to his Royal Highness.
“Okay I'll stay with you but it's going to be for a while”
“Thank you for your cooperation”
“As if I have a choice” I glared at him before walking out of my apartment to his abode.
