Exquisite. 

Such a luxurious word, wasn't it?

Everything felt that way. 

I was just feeling so exquisite. 

Leo Santiago, Ruler of the world and tyrant of it was now at my beck and call. I'd love to see just how he'd try and kill me now. He was my servant. 

About that, When Paris had told me that Leo was trying to kill me, while it made perfect sense, I wanted to ignore it. Yet after his actions today, when he outwardly threatened to kill me, well I thank Paris for telling me.

Just as I was on top of the world something harshly slammed into my shoulder, bringing me back down to below the world where everything literally sucked. 

I was dramatically shoved to the floor by what I assumed was a wall, becuase goddamn that was some sturdy shit. 

I winced as I looked up to see a pale faced guard looking down at me, his face slack with worry. He held out a hand to me to help me of the floor and just as I got to stand up I saw that I recognised the face. 

He was one of the 2 guards that were always positioned inside the house. I had always found it odd how the House Of Cards only had 2 guards throughout the house. 

Sure on the first day that I came here the house was swarming with them and then again on the day that Leo's siblings arrived but as soon as the day had finished they had all disappeared. 

"Thank you." I sighed out once I was on my feet.

He just nodded and gave a small smile. He was incredibly tall, perhaps around 6'1. When he saw me craning my neck up at him he smiled even bigger. 

There was something about him that was just so cute, he had such a cute smile I couldn't help but smile back. It was like he was genuinely a nice person. 

It was a moment later that I realised that he was leaving and walking towards the main entrance doors in the foyer. 

"Wait!" I called out. "Whats your name? If you don't mind me asking." 

I tilted my head in confusion as he just sadly shook his head. Was there some rule where the guards couldn't speak to the residents or something like that? 

Surely not, I mean the guard that I had purposefully walked into to get my lighter had spoken to me. 

Speaking of which I really needed a lighter. I'd force Leo to get me one, I bet he's thrown the  other in the bin. Stupid man. 

"If your scared to talk to me becuase you'll get in trouble then don't worry I'll explain it to them." I offered. 

He just gave a sad smile again and simply shook his head. What the hell? My eyes scanned the room for the other guard and sure enough he was at his post next to the door looking at the situation with a similar smile on his face.
