Whispers of love and lies

ESMERY

Love wasn't something I was expecting to receive when I first entered this mension being only 12... But maybe back then I considered receiving space, respect and value which of course were so far away from me that i couldn't see them coming even after waiting for 10 years .

Now at the my 22th year being a human I've gained a huge ass loss of expectations and hopes... I looked at pile of my packed luggage for nth time and still everytime that pile of luggage was able to earn a scoff from me... I never had this much of belongings . I wonder what would they have stuffed in these six suitcases and two big ass of luggage bags.. Two suitcase would have been enough but they both need to show others how pampered I was by them

They had always been so particular about me as if they don't want me but not having me will cost them tones ... And the worst part is I don't know why
From yelling at me for being a burden on them to showing off the world that I much I meant for them.
Fake people

And the least thing I wanted was to be burden on someone else . But my luck's too bad i guess, maybe that's why here I am all ready to fly to newyork with all my so called luggage waiting for my flight to arrive.

A part of me was relieved that I won't have to see the face of my uncle and aunt for almost 6 months but another was too stressed over about being a burden to someone else too . That's why I came
up with a plan . Stupid one but -

"Your flight is here ma'm" a rough voice intrupped my thoughts. It was Nick my bodyguard. If i would get a chance to choose between being lost in another planet or live with a bodyguard like Nick i would definitely choose wisely and run to NASA . "Okey" i replied him shortly and moved into my ride. Not much time later I was sitting on my seat looking out of the window. I Envied those clouds and birds because they could do everything they wanted.
"You would have been sold for a few fucking dollars if i wasn't there"

"You live on my mery. Remember that"

"Get your stuff packed you're leaving for newyork tomorrow and don't you dare to protest, you don't want to go to your new house with bruises"

Bitter words of my uncle crossed my mind.
I just hope it end soon .
I don't even know where and with whom I am going to live with.
I overheard my uncle and aunt talking about that man I was going to live with in newyork .
Weird

I don't remembered the last time I met a men other than Nick and uncle . I was nervous. Something about this was making me nervous
I'll face new people today and my social anxiety was on it's high

Cool. Calm. Collected.

By the time the my flight landed the night had hugged the sky, embracing the sky in beautiful darkness with shimmering stars and radiant moon
Beautiful

I'd always loved darkness. Some may find it scary but it is dvine to me
I don't have to worry about someone in dark
None can see me
Nor I can see them
Peace

"Get in, ma'm"  Nick said pulling the car door for me as I slid in , my eyes never leaving the night sky
It felt nice....

Soon the car pulled over a house
Quit big but not big enough to be called a palace or something.
I entered the main gate ,this time my gaze was everywhere except the night sky
Cars, fountains, trees, guards and the next thing was a main door infront of me .
Nick rang the bell and we were attended by a maid Guessing by her disguise
I entered the house and a masculine sent of spices and musk hit my nose . The air out side the house seemed to be lighter than inside.
A dark aura was everywhere in the house making sure of presence of something. Someone.

I inhaled again feeling already drugged by the scent
The scent thickened as i felt the presence of someone behind me . I turned around and saw a tall man towering me
His eyes, a shade of liquid gold, had the same effect as a glass of fine whiskey—smooth and warming at first, but with an underlying burn that seared through me

I might be delusional but I saw a flicker of something in those whiskey eyes . Something that felt more uncovered more raw.

His body was lean, with muscles that moved under his skin like a panther ready to strike, every inch of him a testament to a life of control, discipline, and danger.

By the time I snapped out of my mind where I was busy sculpturing his features in words, Nick entered the house with all my so called luggage.
Air was thick ... He must've sensed it, perhaps that's why he initialised the conversation

"Mr. Idris D'Arcy...?"

I looked at him,my bodyguard who asked a question only earned a glance or ... Maybe a glare from him.
He shortly nodded and looked at me again

"Esmery Lancaster"

I sucked a sharp breath at his deep luring voice
He wasn't asking a question, he was sure I was esmery Lancaster and he was damn right about it

I didn't replied I didn't say anything being too caught up between his ethereal looks, scent ,aura, voice ... Everything

And the worst part is I can't blame it on social anxiety.

The next second he turned around facing my bodyguard and said

"She's my responsibility now ,drop the luggage and leave."

Nick replied him by a commanding tone
"I won't. I've gotten orders to be with her everytime."

"Trust me you won't like my another way of telling you to get out"

Nick must've sensed it ... Dominance.....
He stepped away and said

"I will let Mr. Alston Lancaster know about this."
 
He left. Not looking back even once

Again now. A part of me was relieved that I won't have Nick sticked around me all the time nor I have to run to NASA anymore
But another one was horrified by the Idea of being alone in this house with this man ... With Idris
