His Dark Side

Nine

  The best is yet to come.....

Evelyn

I slowly open my eyes. And stretched out as now I'm feeling much better than yesterday. Alex is not beside me. And for that I took a long breathe of relief. And then I remember about my present that Natasha gave me.

"I have to ask Alex if he has my present or not." Well I'm pretty scare about that fact. That if I ask him, he will harm me.

"Yesterday was the worst day of my life! Never in my life I want to celebrate my birthday again." I'm breathing heavily and sobbing. "I'm so weak. I feel disgusted for myself." I rub my eyes and got up.

And took a quick shower and found my clothes in my room.  I'm wearing a t-shirt and jeans. I dried my hair and tied it into a braid.
I went out to eat as i didn't ate much yesterday and for that I'm a little weak.

I heard some noises coming from the kitchen.
"Please don't be Alex. Please don't be Alex." I repeat this in my head in a mantra.
Luckily it's his housekeeper Ms Pape. She's really kind and I think she's in her forties. She made me breakfast which was really delicious.

"Where's Alex?" I asked her while sipping my coffee.
"Office Ms Parker" . She says while cleaning the dishes.
"Please call me Eve." I said in a irritating tone.
"Eve." She corrected herself and smiles sweetly.

I got up and decided to take a tour of the house because I don't have anything to do cause Ms Pape won't let me help her.

His house is really big. It's like a maze. I walk around different rooms. At last I ended up in his study.

His study is big.. The floors all wood, at centre is his big table. The rooms all clean. And the laptop is rested on the table. I think he's been working on it.

There's a book self on the left side of the room. Many types of books are there. Different novels and many more.
Beside the self there's a board hanging, and on it there are many locations pin pointed.

"What are these?" I try to look more closely.

"Shit! Alex's been following me ever since my parents died!!" I said while everything in my body freezes.

I try to recover myself and went out of the room, and ended up in another room.

This room.. Looks like most of the room. But it looks like no one much comes in this room.

Something distracts me. "It's the old photos of someone."
But I can't make out whose because it's cover in dust.
I blow the dust out of the photo. And see it's a lady's picture.

"She looks so familiar." I try to remember who she looks like. And then I'm so dumb.
"Who else she could be!! It's Alex's mother." I move around and see there are many others photos of his and he's family.

"Alex looks so much like his mother. He got her eyes and hair colour. There are pictures of his childhood too" I say and place down the pictures.

"Well he got some things from his dad. Like the face structure and a muscular body." I laugh at myself from inside. "I hate it that he looks so good and from inside he's so dark." I'm scared of him very much. His cold demeanour and a face with no emotion.
"I have to get out of here." I say and went out of the room.

As I was coming out of the room. Something hit my head very hard.....and I black out.

I slowly opened my eyes adjusting from the surrounding and I can feel the stinging pain in my head beginning to grow.

"What happened?!" I bring my hand to my head where the pain originates. "And I'm bleeding??!" I stumble but got up on my feet.
"What the hell happened?" I press my hands on my forehead from where it's bleeding.
