Klaire jolted up at a sudden trying to catch her breath, she thought about what she had dreamt of, her nightmares were rare but when they came, they took a lot out of her, sometimes she would wake up crying and screaming alone inside her apartment,

When she wakes up from these she doesn't remember any of it, only that something scared her, something inside of her made her heartbeat at a speed uncontrollable, it took out all of her energy. She got up going to the bathroom to wash her face, she took a glass filled it with water, gulped it down at once and shook her head a little to set her conscious straight. Looking into her closet she found something reasonable, all she had were trousers and dresses and the trousers looked like they were meant for the night. She took a refreshing bath and wore the dress going out,

She walked around the house trying to find Ricardo, she had to talk to him, thinking he must be outside she looked for the front door and went to open it when she was stopped, "going somewhere Amour?" Ricardo asked leaning on the wall with his hands crossed, Klaire turned around to face him straight in the eyes with a cocky smile she retorted,

"Looking for an ass. Have you seen him?" She held her posture to mock him with her hands on her hips. He chuckled deeply not answering her, "what? Cat got your tongue?" she questioned,

"l'unico gatto che può prendermi la lingua sei tu, bellissima" _the only cat who can get my tongue is you beautiful_

"Fuck you" she cursed at him,

"Are you sure?... Cause you're not in the right mood right now" he smirked replying, Klaire's cheeks heated up as she turned and walked out of the living room. Over the days she had gotten used to the big mansion and its confusing corridors, she was a fast learner anyway and had a good visual map of the place in her mind.

She walks into the kitchen to grab a juice box from the fridge; skipping the ready-made breakfast plate, "I need to talk to you" she says with no emotion,

"Posso ascoltarti per sempre" _I can listen to you forever_ he says smirking,

"Go flirt with your sluts asshole" she curses sitting on the couch, enjoying her juice box.

"Why would I when I have an even prettier slut in front of me" She was taken back by the comment he directed at her, it made her feel weird inside when he called her a 'slut'

She couldn't come up with a retort and mumbled a "Whatever". She started to overthink what he had said, 'he called me pretty' she thought to herself. He had an effect on her, and she's yet to find out how, and also how she could stop it because she was convinced she would never fall for a murderer like him. 

Coming back to her topic she started, "I'll be graduating this year and I need to get back to my work, I need the extra credits" Her tone was serious and Ricardo knew when to fool around and when to be serious. 

Seating himself next to her on the couch he spoke, "Fine, but..."

"There's always a but" she groans slouching back on her couch. 

Ricardo chuckles and continues, "After your classes you come straight home. Emily will be with you the entire day" Emily is Marcus' wife, who was pregnant which made Klaire furrow her brows in confusion,

"The pregnant lady?!" she asked while Ricardo nodded, "ARE YOU CRAZY? Letting a pregnant women walk around. What if she has the baby on the way? I'm not going to deliver a fucking baby" she jolts out of her seat and reasons with him dramatically,

"She's due in 2 months, and you graduate next month" he says getting comfortable in his chair,

"Then what about my freedom?" She asks hands on her hips,
