His Only

Chapter 5

Klaire woke up suddenly jolting up in bed, it took her a few minutes to clear her vision, and once she did she was amused by the unfamiliar room she was in, the room was dark, windows surrounded her, and it was clearly night as she could see the clear skies, the view of the windows was breathtaking, she could simply imagine what it feels like waking up in the morning to all of this,

"Miss your dinner" the lady announced herself by handing her a plate,

"Who's room is this?" she asked squeezing her temples for a while,

"Monsieur's" the maid replied standing aside, Klaire's eyes widened when the realization hit her. It made sense to her; the expensive looking furniture, the view, the dark themed room, it fitted his character perfectly, for the cold heart monster he is. Her mind drifted off to the room she once had since she was born, her white and gold-themed bedroom in her father's castle,

She missed him dearly. But the fact that he packed her off to Maldives angered her, because of her anger she only waited in Maldives for a few days before sneaking out of the country and flying to Italy, she went by Victoria back there, and now Klaire.

She got out of bed nearly about to fall when the maid rushed to her steading her, she held onto the maid and the bedside table for support till her spinning head stopped, the maid made her sit down on the bed handing her the plate of food once again,

"Miss please eat. The doctor advised you to" she said gesturing to the plate on her lap, she put her stubbornness away and ate the sandwiches on the plate, giving it back to the maid. With a motive to stand up, she did after a deep breath but heald her head right after because of the agonizing siren that ran through her ears, she took multiple breaths squinting her eyes until the pain had finally disappeared,

She left the room immediately not wanting to see Ricardo if he came to his room, she was still lost in the big house until she turned to the maid once more,

"Can you show me to my room" she asked, the maid nodded leading her through a corridor and to the door leading to her bedroom, she thanked her and went inside plopping on the bed, still tired; she lay there for what felt like hours, just thinking of ways to get out of the hell hole she had been put in.

'This is a test'

That's all that went through her head; right now she's in a problem and like all her classes had taught her she must find a solution, not a find 'X' in maths solution, a life solution. Every problem comes with a solution or an option.

Her option here is agreeing to Ricardo, giving him a chance, but that would never happen, getting to know Ricardo has a possibility of meeting his father, and even with her transformation, Jackson _Ricardo's dad_ would always know it's her, he's been with her ever since her birth, how could he not.

Jackson has been like a second dad to her, whenever her father went on dangerous missions or long business trips, Jackson would come over and stay with her, or she would go stay with him at his workplace, Ricardo was older at the time when her father started to get noticed, and it involved him in dangerous missions. But her father would never leave her with his bodyguards, it was either Jackson's place or her best friend's place.

She gets the courage to get up and walk to the balcony looking down, she's on the second story and the jump isn't a big height, about 19 feet. She walks back to the room looking around, she could try knotting all her blankets and climb down, but she thinks it wouldn't be stable for her,

She sighed pushing the thought away, she couldn't get out of here,

Not unless...

Unless she finds a room on the ground floor and climbs out of there.
