Mated To The Devil

Chapter 21: The Announcement

Natasha's POV

My cheeks heated up when I saw Valerian's hand on my waist.

I cleared my throat as I quickly stand up straight and moved away from him like as if I was electrified.

I went back to the chair and sat down.

"What was that?" I heard Valerian ask.

I looked up at him and saw that his eyes are focused on the front of his laptop.

"What was what?" I asked back, playing dumb.

Valerian suddenly looked up at me. I quickly averted his gaze.

He creased his forehead at me. "You have amnesia now?"

I furrowed my eyebrows. "What?"

"What you just did, Natasha. Being clingy out of nowhere."

"What?" I automatically reacted. "I'm not being clingy."

"Then what was that? You suddenly realized you don't hate me anymore?" he retorted.

I heaved a sigh. "When I asked you if Elyse go here, you said yes. It has benefits to show every people here that we're really serious about each other. The news will surely reach Elyse and as you've said, she will be delighted."

Valerian nodded as he stood up.

"Where are you going?" I asked when I saw him start wearing his coat again that he took off earlier.

"I have a meeting," he replied.

Right.

"Can I come?" I asked.

Valerian quickly shook his head. "No, you stay here."

I groaned. "Oh come on.

What am I going to do here inside his office alone?!

"Let me come," I insisted.

"Do as I say," Valerian said with full authority.

I heaved a sigh.

"Fine," I muttered.

If only I didn't swear I'm going to follow everything he's going to say.

Fuck it.

After Valerian fixed his coat and hair, he quickly went out of his office and I was left there wondering what to do now.

I guess I really got used to what my life was in the past years. I would wake up early and do work for the pack and training all day. It was never boring because my plate was always full and now that I have nothing to do, I feel really boring. I know it's crazy but it's really a sickening feeling. I want to do something. I really need to do something for the sake of my sanity.

I can't help but smile when an idea suddenly popped into my mind.

I quickly stood up from the chair and went outside.

Where is Valerian could possibly be?

I roamed my eyes in the surrounding.

Gosh, I feel like no matter how many times I see the inside of Valerian's building, I still can't get over by how pretty it is. The designs and everything are just so beautiful and pleasant to the eyes. Whoever did this made a really good job.

I suddenly remember what Valerian said to me. He said I will have everything he has after our deal and well-- after I kill him.

I quickly tried to shake the thought off of my mind.

As I've said, I don't want his wealth. I don't want anything Valerian possess. I just want to finish what I have to do. And besides, after I succeed with my mission, I'm going home.
