What lies underneath man's clothing [War Of Love Triology (Book 1)]

Chapter 12

Ashton's POV

I was laying down on my bed trying my best to sleep when i suddenly felt thirsty.

I got up from my bed and opened the door, i was at the end of the stairs when i heard someone's voice it was like he was talking to someone over the phone.

When i took a peek i saw that it was Regis, i was about to call him out when i heard what he said

" There was no act of suspicions here Master Z. Yes, and a new guy shows up he's currently living with them. The man seems like have taken an interest on him... " i covered my mouth, i couldn't believe what i heard just now.

My thirst turns into shivers, i was about to go back inside my room when i accidentally bump into something and it made a loud shuttering sound

I heard him whispering something before ending the call

" Who's there? " he asked calmly while walking towards my direction.

I can hear my heart racing nervously, afraid to be caught. I was hiding behind the walls of the kitchen.

" I said, who's there? " he said, even more threatening.

I squeeze myself as if by doing that it could help me withstand ny fear of getting caught.

Until i saw Zyon on the stairs looking at me weirdly.

It seems like he understood the situation and went to the place where the broken vase is and acted like it was him who bumped into it

" Why is it so damn dark here?! Brat, why didn't turned the lights on?! " Zyon said and Regis just laughed at him, as if he didn't do anything behind Zyon's back

" Sorry, i was used in the dark, i did not expect you to be here " he said and turned on the lights on the kitchen. I sighed in relief.

" I was thirsty. And it's my house " Zyon said

I silently and cautiously made my way up, back inside my room

I wrapped myself in my comforter. Unable to forget what i just witnessed earlier.

Why is he reporting our every move? Who's master Z? What about Laustre? They seems like they're close.

What did i get myself in to?

I forcibly closed my eyes and tried to sleep

It was already morning when i fell asleep and now it's already noon when i woke up. It looks like Regis has gone home by now.

I heard a knock on my door

" Come in "

" Fox, it's me " Zyon said as he entered inside my room

" Did i wake you up? " he asked

" No you didn't, i just woke up " i said

" you didn't went downstairs to eat breakfast with us "

" are you deaf or something? Didn't i just say that 'I just woke up'? " i asked him sarcastically

" Just kidding haha " he said while laughing and combing my hair using his fingers

" So what brings you here? " i asked and he suddenly became serious.

" What made you nervous last night? Did you hear anything that is disturbing last night? Did Regis made you feel that way? Why were you hiding? " he asked me, and i looked at him as if i was weighing my decision on whether should i tell him or not.

But in the end i decided to tell him the truth behind my actions last night

" I heard him, i–i mean Regis. He's talking to someone called Master Z. " i trembled lightly remembering what i heard last night.

What if they use me to threaten Zyon? What if they hurt Zyon? What am i going to do if i was in the face of danger?

There were so many what if's running in my mind, but i immediately felt at ease when Zyon held my trembling hand and squeezed it lighty.

I smiled at him and continued telling him what happened last night

" He's reporting our every move and that includes me, he was telling that Master Z that i was living here together with you and Laustre and that you've taken a liking to me " i said

He looked at me worriedly but i showed him my bright smile still trembling a little

" It's ok, im alright " i said to cease his worry

He showed me his smile but i can still see the worry in his eyes.

" if it's ok with you, I'll assign someone to guard you from afar so that it won't make you feel uncomfortable " he suggested

And i want to reconsider it for my own safety

" I'll think about it " i said

" Don't worry, I'll do my very best and use everything in my power to protect you " he said and hugged me

" Mm, thank you " i replied and hugged him back

There was a long moment of silence while we were hugging as if comforting each other

When we decided to let go he pulled my hand and we entered inside the bathroom

" Wash your face and take a quick shower " he said before handing me the towel

When i got out from the bathroom there was a set of clothes neatly placed on top of my bed. I smiled at the thought of Zyon preparing it for me.

I wore it and went downstairs to wat lunch with them.

When i arrived at the dinning room, i saw Laustre preparing our food for lunch

" Oh good afternoon master Ashton " he greeted me and i just nod my head

Looks like Zyon didn't tell him anything yet and that thought somehow made me feel better.

Because i don't know what would happen if he knew that Regis was spying on us.
