Moonlight

Chapter 45

Daisy ✧

We held our gaze for what seemed like an eternity until I broke it.

"Ange-

He cut me off by putting a finger to his lips, silently telling me to be quiet.

I frowned but didn't say anything.

He motions me to follow him by nodding at the window.

I nod and slip my fluffy slippers on and follow him out the window.

As I retrieved my phone on the way out, he pulled my phone from my grip and tossed it back on the bed.

I didn't question it and just followed him out the window.

He was the first one down, grabbing my waist and pulling me down after.

We walked over to his car, which was parked in front of my house.

My steps come to a halt as he unlocks the car and opens the door for me.

I slip in quietly, and he closes the door behind me and comes around to his side.

He gets into the car and starts it up without saying anything.

I'm confused as I observe him.

What the hell is going on?

He starts driving and I just sit back in my seat, wondering how I'm going to get out of this.

I saw his expression, which remained unchanged from its blank exterior.

Under the streetlights, his light eyes gleamed brightly, making him all the more intriguing.

His features had simply been hidden by the lights, making them all dark and mysterious.

We continued driving till we arrived at a familiar mansion.

The Empire.

He pulls up to the kerb right outside the front doors and switches off the ignition.

After opening my door for me he brings us into the enormous house.

I would have been a lot happier being here if I wasn't so tense right now.

All eyes were on us as we strolled inside.

Men and women looked up from their jobs or discussions to observe us silently ascending the black spiral stairs.

My gaze was drawn to a familiar girl who was staring at me coldly.

The last time I was here, I recognised the girl who walked by us on these stairs.

I averted my gaze from her and followed Angel up the staircase.

We arrived in a room that I had never seen before.
