Playing With Fire

Chapter 2

    •~CASSANDRA SCARLETT~•

I woke up to my brother shaking my arm. As soon as I opened my eyes I saw a beautiful modern mansion coming into view. My brother continued to drive along the long dirt road and eventually pulled up to the security gate showing the guards his id. I was too busy gawking at the house to pay attention to what my brother and the guard were talking about. It was late at night but the house was lit up so perfectly. My brother then pulled up to the front of the house and put the car into park.

"Alright Cass let's get you settled in" my brother said getting out of the car.

I grabbed my purse and phone before undoing my seatbelt and getting out of the car. People had already started to grab some stuff we had in the car and take it into the house I was still admiring.

My brother grabbed my arm and began to drag me into the house. I ripped my arm from him and shit him a glare before taking in my surroundings. My eyes grew big as I focused on the interior of the mansion. A grand staircase splitting off into two directions, beautiful paintings all around. The more I looked around the more I was in awe.

However this was short lived when a few men started to walk into the main area where sawyer and I were and give me looks. My brother introduced me to the men. They came over to great me and gave me smiles while giving me some half assed compliments hoping they would get on my good side.

Eventually my brother told the men off and lead me to my bedroom. My mouth dropped open when I realized that my room had already been set up for me. All my stuff was unpacked and put away neatly and all my decorations were put up on the walls giving me room a more welcoming feeling.

"What! How! When! Who?"

"The movers unpacked all of your furniture but Margot our maid did the decorating and put everything away."

"That's was so sweet of them. They didn't have to do that."

"Well it's kinda their job so yes they did. Anyways it's been a long night and I'm beat. Goodnight Cass sleep well."

I gave my brother a wave before he left my room shutting the door. I walked over to it and locked it before turning around and taking in my new room. I noticed that there were new bookshelves along the window seat. The window seat had fairy lights strung from the bookshelves and a window looking out to the land. All of my books were neatly put on the bookshelves along with my vinyls. I let out a sigh of contentment before walking into my closet and changing into an oversized shirt. I walked over to my bed, plugged my charger in and plugged my phone in before hopping into bed and closing my eyes. Drifting into a deep sleep.

I awoke to the sound of heavy footsteps walking around near my room. I rubbed my eyes and looked at the time. It read 3:45. Who the fuck is awake at 3 am on a Monday morning!

I sat up in my bed and got up wrapping myself in my blanket before padding over to my door, unlocking it and pulling it open. I stepped out into the hallway and followed the footsteps. I tried my best to keep quiet as I walked down the long hallway. A door cracked open caught my attention and I slowly made my way over to it. I cracked the door open more and peeked inside. It was a beautiful office with a bookshelf full of the most beautiful books I've ever seen.

My curiosity got the best of me as I stepped into the office and walked over to the bookshelf. I lifted my hand and ran my fingers along the various books that were sat on the shelf. I was so caught up in the books that I didn't hear anyone come into the office.

"What the fuck are you doing in my office?" A deep voice said from behind me.

I let out a gasp before spinning around and seeing a man in front of me. He had black fluffy hair with a few red highlights in it. Tattoos all over his arms and neck but none on his face. He had a sharp jawline and bright silver eyes. He was tall and muscular his shirt barely fitting him along with the pants he was wearing.

I didn't realize I was staring at him so intensely until he cleared him throat and spoke again.

"Are you going to answer me or just stand there looking like a fucking idiot."

For someone so hot he's kind of a dick.

I finally picked my head up and looked him in the eyes before speaking to the mystery man.

"First off watch your tone. You don't need to be so rude and second off, your loud ass stomping woke me up and I was trying to follow the footsteps I heard to tell you to be more quiet when I saw your office door slightly open and I peeked inside and saw your books. I got curious and walked over to them to get a better look and here we are."

The man looked at me with angry eyes and I couldn't tell he was furious. However I wouldn't have snapped at him if he weren't so fucking rude.

"I suggest you watch your tone with me. I don't know who you think you are but you don't speak to me that way. You talk to me like that again and I'll slit your throat. Do you understand me?" He said through gritted teeth as he walked closer to me.

I looked him in the eyes and smirked. He really thinks he scares me.

"Ok buddy. No need to get your panties in a twist. Also you have a horrible attitude. Maybe you should lighten up a bit." I said patting his shoulder and walking out of his office before he could say another word.

I walked back to my room and closed the door, and locking it, before I walked back to my bed and flopped on top of it falling back asleep.
