"Are we under attack?" I whispered and he stared at me.
"No, don’t say that word again."
"What attack- don’t." Ares spoke; he had always been serious before, but this time it sounded scary, like he was going to hurt someone, I have never seen that dead look in his eyes, I have never seen him stare at anyone like that.
The house is a chaos, the moment I woke up from sleep; all I could hear were noises, people heading into the house, like they are working on something, the more I stared at all of them, I had so many questions.
They didn’t look like they were reorganizing the house if looked like they are doing much worse, it looked like they are taking precautions, with the guns, the many men getting positioned, and the way they added another brocade to the windows.
I am not going to run away again, he will not do this just for me.
"Where is Luca?" I whispered, we haven’t seen since last night and I had a feeling that maybe, he was in my room, I felt his scent last night.
"Luca is busy, you need to go to your room." He spoke and I didn’t know what to say, it felt like I kept on seeing things in this house, first that woman, then the boy, now this.
"I want to don’t make me say it again Olivia, you need to go to your room." Ares spoke cutting me off.
What happened overnight, why did it seem like they were being rude, why did it seem like they were behaving as though something horrible was happening?
If no one is going to tell me, I will have to find out in another way, maybe my way.
As I marched into the hallway, I didn’t see anyone, I felt my breath hitches as I headed into his office and I locked the door from behind, I stared across the room, it felt like he was here.
The memories of last night can rushing to me, the way she spoke, the way he stared at me, the way I ran into the room, it felt unreal, I was even more scared now that I am awake, the things that are happening, I can’t run away even if I wanted to, I can’t try to even if I wanted to.
He won’t let me and this time he may not be good to me if I try to run away.
I glanced across the area of his office when I reached for the side drawers, trying to find anything, anything that could tell me what was going on, I needed to figure out what could be going on.
When my hands slipped out of a brown paper, my heart anticipated with questions, my breath hitches with a lot of questions when I watched as I read the first word written, I recognized my name anywhere.
The sound outside made me drop the paper, I quickly hid the silver back into its place and I rushed to the door, I could hear a noise coming from the door, like someone was heading toward me.
If he finds me, he will be hurt and I don’t need him not trusting me right now, he needs to trust me if I ever have a chance at leaving again and if any of his men find me, it’s not going to be well, Luca may end up killing them for even trying to touch me.
Either way; it’s not so great
I glanced across the area, the only option being jumping out of the window and I would do that, I would have to turn for that to even happen, if not I would end up getting hurt.
I would have to come back later to even get to see those papers.
"What the hell?" I breathed out when I walked into my room to find something on my bed.
I can help you leave the house, but you need to meet me under the tree toward the end of the garden by eleven pm tomorrow.
It’s a handwritten paper, there is no indication that someone walked into my room, and even if someone did, I would never know, there are so many men in the house, and some of the wolves I have not even seen before, I could feel my heart beating against my chest as I stared at the message.
What if someone else walked in, Luca would have walked in looking for me or even ares would have just to make sure that I am truly in my room like I told him, it could have been anyone yet the person didn’t care, but did the person know that I would be the one in my room and no one else.
I was able to sneak out of his office through the door after I heard someone yelling and I heard footsteps heading out of the hallway, I didn’t even realise what was happening, because I rushed out of his office and headed into my room.
There was no one outside of my room or anywhere near it, who could have done this
I am tempted to see through this, but this could be a trap, it could be something else, and it made me scared and worried, it made me ask a question, it has to be one of his guards, they are the only ones that know that I tried to run away, I tried to leave the house.
I didn’t know want to think, I didn’t think any one else would tell other about it, I did want to leave the house, I wanted to do all I can to escape form here, Luca is confusing and I don’t want to fall for him, I don’t want to feel for him and I am worried that if undone stop, I would end up liking him more than I should.
I waited for as long as I could, in my room and I stared at my letter as if I knew who it was, as if I could be able to tell who it was by just staring at it but even I knew that I couldn’t know, I couldn’t know about it.
I don’t even know what their writing looks like, I have never seen it before, and this time it made me feel worried, who could it be, who could want to do this, why could anyone want to help me? What could they gain from helping me, I can’t trust anyone.
I kept the letter on my table, my nightstand As I stared at it, I hid it behind some jewelry so no one would know about it, I didn’t want anyone to see it, maybe I am worried that they will see it and I didn’t want any of that. I didn’t want to have a conversation about who did this.
After three hours I realized Luca was not even home: and maybe this is the perfect time for me to find out what that envelope entailed, I desperately wanted to find out what it was and what it could mean, it has to do with me, the thought of that scared me.
I tiptoed toward his office, I could hear voices coming downwards downstairs and I realized it was one of his wolves, they can’t find me here, I doubt any of them would even lead to coming to the hallways, I never really see any of them.
I headed into the room, I could fele his scent, just like I did easier but this time stronger yet I ignored it, I headed toward the table as I took it out this time, I am not going to make any mistake, I can not be stupid.
So I hid under the desk in case anyone would walk up to me, I didn’t want anyone to walk in and find me, I could feel my hand slipping through the paper, my heart beating against my chest as I stared at the envelope.
"What is it Something I should not find?" I breathed out, I didn’t want to think hard about it, I didn’t want to think about the possibility of having to see something that could shatter me
I had already even shattered, I was about to slip out again when the door opened, it felt good knowing that I hid under the desk, I was still scared, I held the envelope and I crouched my leg perfectly so no one would see me.
"He is not here, we should get going. He would not like it that we are here." I heard someone say and I smiled And soon I heard the door close and I felt a wave of relief wash over me, I felt a bit better.
Knowing that I didn’t get caught, when I moved away and I placed the envelope on the ground.
"Come out of hiding Olivia." I heard a voice and I froze.
