It's just me and you

Chapter 24- Karma pt. 1

Y/N's POV

If I were to make an affirmation, expressing that I'm disappointed right now, it would certainly be the biggest understatement of my life.

After I abruptly departed from Scarlett, leaving her alone as well as leaving her office, my father immediately ended the phone call.

I grew a little worried and quickly attempted to call him back, no answer. I then patiently waited for him to eventually return the call, Instead I was instantly hit with a text message.

"Come home, we need to speak."

My eyes quickly skimmed through the text and that message alone made me incredibly anxious. I absolutely dread it when people send me vague text messages, they lead me into a spiral of overthinking.

However, I knew well enough to know that I had to follow my fathers orders and oblige to his demand, I just really hope that the matter of the issue is truly significant.

. . .

After a couple minutes of nonstop driving, along with the melodic sound of music vibrating against my windows, I finally arrived at my fathers house thus ending my short lived journey.

I then graciously park my car, stationing it carefully and taking the keys out. I eagerly make my way up the entrance steps, which happens to be quite a few might I add. I then confidently compose myself while knocking loudly on the door, no answer.

Usually Alfred immediately opens the door to welcome me, however, it's not the case as of today. This is pretty unconventional, out of the ordinary. I guess I'll have to resort to plan b.

I then walk towards the direction of a nearby plant, which actually isn't even real. It's a fake plant, meant for decoration. However, guest's certainly aren't aware of that. That's because it's also a secret safe. I twist the top clockwise and it clicks open revealing a key. My fingers grasp the key and I head back to the entrance, successfully unlocking the door.

It's quiet, almost dead silent. It makes me wonder if anyone is even home. I've watched one too many horror movies and I know that this is usually the part where a jump scare occurs. So to avoid any conflict, I quickly start running towards my fathers office. Im fast, if there's a murder they won't be able to catch me. Not on my watch.

I then aggressively burst into my fathers office basically damaging his doors in the process. I then instantly notice him sitting in his chair and he gasps frighteningly while glancing up at me disapprovingly.

"The fuck is the matter with you?!" He furiously asks.

I'm so confused, and so out of breath. I tiredly shrug my shoulders in response as I stare at him with concern.

He then removes his glasses and stands up worriedly "Is everything all right? What happened?" He questions curiously.

I laugh mockingly "I could ask you the same. Why'd you call me? No actually, why'd you call me and then proceed to ignore my calls?" I ask agitatedly.

He frustratedly sighs "I needed to speak with you about something but it certainly isn't important enough for you to go down destroying my office!" He bitterly states.

I scoff "What about our deal? You only call me when something important happens, you told me that." I inform.

He frowns and shakes his head "It was a mistake, honey. I forgot about our little deal and it was already too late. I was dialing your number when I realized, so I decided to send a message instead. I'm sorry, it's my fault. " He defends apologetically.

I impatiently sigh "Where's Alfred? What is it that you had to speak with me about?" I ask concerned.

He clears his throat and gestures for me to take a seat across his desk, which I hesitantly do so. He then slowly takes a seat on his own chair composing his demeanor and a cold tension fills the room.
