NAVARRO SERIES 1:Caged By The Ruthless

CHAPTER 40

Socorro Ricks

Pair of eyes are all on me, on us to be specific. Questioning look from others that's the novel expression we've gathered so far and seems they don't have the guts to spit a word, as if they aren't allowed to speak so they're letting their expressive eyes convey their curiosity. That's more ideal tho especially if they'll just spit negativity and unjustified words.

The stares from the servants creep me out. It's rude to stare I'm aware of that yet seems they aren't notified that it is like that. I wonder what's running to their minds, do they already create their conclusion? I guess so because if not they rather face their task than letting their curiosity rule over them.

" You must be the woman who captured my grandson's stone heart. I'm impress Exur, you picked a girl of my liking.....a submissive one. ", An old man enunciate flashing proudness when his gaze landed on our wrist, where the cuff situated.

Picked, his choice of words struck me undeniably. For Pete sake I wasn't a thing nor a whore that can just be pick by someone else for their own purposes. I'm not born in this world just to be use, either sate their desperation. I'm not a trophy that can be won by anyone else.

For what the old man stated, he got it all wrong. I wasn't the woman he is pertaining I never captured his heart and not isn't listed on my goal list. And submissive? Did he just insulted me? Where he got the nerve for bestowing such tittle? His eyes probably deceiving him then that he can't sense the rage on my eyes.

" Pardon, may I share with you some of my words? ", Aside from the old man, people in this room exchanges glances with gasp probably they didn't thought I'll butt in, that's what made them wrong again.

Almighty gave us mouth to use in talking correct me if I'm wrong.

The old looking man gestured ' go on '.

I heaved a deep exhale just when I felt the tightening grip on my wrist. That must be his way of warning me to choose rightful words that won't cause him to be furious, and that would be the words that can't make someone offended.

For a second I averted my gaze to his face to take a glimpse of his reaction. Nothings new, stoic, calm and the unreadable emotion masks on his eyes.

Clearing my throat I faced them, " Let me introduce myself first Sir, I am Socorro Ricks from New York. And here your grandson - ", pointing Exur besides me. " - abducted me for the reason I don't know. I swear I won't report this to the authority as long as he and all of you will set me free. "

Good thing my cool remained during I was saying those words, the flat tone adding to it's cleverness and affirmation, though deep inside I'm intimidated by how the old man glance me. There's something on how he stare at me, or maybe it's just my intuition messing me.

Minutes after he threw his grandson a weighing look ushering to explain what I just said nor object my speech.

Exur's piercing eyes darted meet mine his dark expression resurfaced yet plastering the fake smile sending shiver down my spine. Behind that smile I know that he wasn't pleased by my words and sure thing I'll get something in return either good or bad punishment.

He never failed to affect me with his unpredictable gestures. This again a proof on how the world is unfair.

He laughed. " My bad wife haven't I told you that we Navarro's made our own rule and law? Unfortunately abducting the woman we love is not prohibited by our law. ", There's the proud grin smudged on his lips.

My lips voluntarily twitched. " The question is are you my husband for you to call me your wife? Do you really love? And will I ever love you? ", I taunted earning for him to hit me with a burning stare.
