Darker than Love- Book 2

Chapter-10

 Chapter-10

Author's POV:

Seth workup sweating, his face was covered in sweat. He covered his face with his hand shaking in anger. He whispered, "Mom...Mom... why"

His eyes were red, not due to tear but it must be because of anger. That nightmare sometimes resurface and he hated it.

It reminded him of betrayal and weakness.

He threw the lamp on the night stand in anger, trashing the room.

Vanessa's POV:

I stood there waiting for Mr. Morris to come downstairs. The maids were standing behind me waiting. I tried to be more presentable because I going to go out of here after so long.

I am just excited for these little things now. I remember how much I hated going out of my house for work, but things change in few weeks.

Mr. Morris said he wants to leave at 9 yesterday but I see the time already is 10:15.

No one dares to enter his room in morning, who wants to die disturbing him? Martha always cleans his room herself. No one else is around unless he ask for presence. So far I realized, Martha, Mr. Max, Mr. Terry goes in that room or sometimes me when he has to yell at me of course.

I walk out of the room each time with new rule or threat. When he brings those women here he usually uses the other room, like the his second bedroom or something. He is indeed a weird guy! Honestly I can't even look at him regardless his good looks.

I got startled when Mr. Morris walks in sitting on his seat, otherwise the whole huge dining table is with empty chair.

The maids behind me quickly worked fast to provide him fresh breakfast, while I stood there hating his existence.

How nice it would be if he didn't exist?

Neither that night would appear nor me in this dangerous palace.

He looked at me suddenly, he looks grumpy. Like he is glaring at me, I lowered my gaze not know what I did.

He got up saying, "We are leaving now... Follow me..." I noticed his breakfast is untouched. He usually eats like an elephant, what is wrong today?

My subconscious taunted, 'It's not like this hulk with starve to death my missing a meal'

I agreed to myself silently.

The whole ride I looked out of window like a kid, I just wanted feel like it's any other bus ride I had all my life. I was sitting beside Mr. Terry. He doesn't speak much to anymore.

And to be honest, he seems like doesn't care about who is around him. He just does what he is supposed to do.

I realized the club is not any close to the place where he lives. But I still walked in behind him

As I was behind him, Terry warned whispering, "Be alert and don't cause a mess." He looked at me cold, I nod silently.

I stood there in a cabin, where Mr. Morris rested keeping his foot on the table. This place looks really black, like the table is black, the tiles are black, even the wall behind him is different shade of black.

If not's for the light and that window, this place is black whole. But somehow it looks classy.

Mr. Morris taunted, "Done side seeing..." He said rudely.

I couldn't help but answer, "Sorry, I didn't knew you asked me close my eyes, Mr. Morris" This earned me a weird expression from him.

Mr. Morris said, "Terry, My pet parrot really speaks well.... as soon as in better shape started to hop?"

I whispered, "You didn't allowed me rest, can't I complain?"

I just can't tolerate silence anymore. Mr. Morris got a smile saying, "No, possessions don't speak to their Master." I was stunned my his choice of words.

Terry warned, "Lock your mouth, or result won't be good"

I just looked at this man, Mr. Morris said, "You heard him.... Or do I need to spell it out?"

I was out of words, Mr. Morris said, "Terry you can go, and take Vanessa with you, show her around and tell her what is she supposed to do"

I was about walk out when I heard Mr. Morris, "If you dare to run, then I will break your pretty feet.... kill that Daniel and his family right in front of you, and then you...."

My hand was shaking, I turned to him as stated, "We have a deal..."

Mr. Morris smirked, "We do"

The whole afternoon I made calls to order supplies for this club. I thought about calling police, or someone I know. But What will Police will do against these powerful people.

I just want my deal to work out. I will won't anything stupid. I am pretty sure, this phone under surveillance.

I dialed another number order for more alcohol. Like they buy some supper expensive things, but sure with this amount of Alcohol my city could be drunk for years.

Seth's POV:

I sat there listening to the calls she was making from the manager's cabin. I don't trust any women, but I am wondering will she be stupid to take the chance she gets.

I heard her saying, "Hi.... This from **** club, I am the manager speaking...... Yea.... We would like to place a order.... please note it down..." I smirked, realizing how awkward she was speaking to them.

She made the order then said, "Can you deliver as soon as you can?..... It's urgent... Ok , thanks...."

The call ended.

Then after few minutes she dialed another number, she is serious about work.

I smirked.

Maybe, She will do good work here...
