"Yes, Miss Weiss I will tell him you'd like to have dinner with us." I said with a fake smile plastered on my face. She's a nice lady but I can't let my guard down.

"Okay dear. See you soon" she said as she smiled at me making me grin back.

I made my way through the farmer's market leaving her near the tomatoes.

This town has an old look to it. Even though we are not far behind on technology it still has the typical ancient bungalows.

Castles to be more real.

There are only two people in this town who really matter. They are the two richest families here.

The pierces and The Maliks.

I happen to live with one of them.

He lives alone unless you count me.

"Miss Amanda Steele." I heard making me spin around.

"Mr. Malik." I replied trying hard not to melt at the velvety smooth sound of his voice.

"It's a surprise to see you at my family's market this lovely evening." He says.

"Oh I must say its refreshing to see such an ancient concept again." I said back with a hint of a smile.

"So how is Mr. Pierce Doing?" He asked his eyes filled with anger and hatred making me wonder if that's what mine looked like.

"He's doing great." I said with a tight smile.

His face was void of any emotion but I could see the sadness in his eyes. "Tell me the truth Amanda." My name floated of his lips smoothly making me shiver.

No one uses my first name anymore. They're scared of what he might do to them if they do.

Shock was written all over my face.

"How did you?" I asked him my mouth opening and closing like a fish.

"I can see right through you and you might be the only one who can see right through me." He said and then he turned around and just left.

Alexander is a very powerful man. He can get away with mass murder. And I'm scared of what he might do to anyone who tries to take me from him.
