"How dare you? Ariana, how dare you?"
I could feel the anger from his heart radiate through his ears. the tears that kept rolling down my cheeks were unstoppable. I knew I just hurt him beyond imagination.
"I'm sorry Nick truly am."
"After everyth...
I turned it off and lay down again trying to get 5 more minutes of sleep when it rang again.
What the hell?
I picked up the phone call and without checking the caller, I answered
"What?" I snapped.
"Come out. Now." the man on the other line said and I could recognize that voice anywhere.
Harry King.
My senses immediately shot up and I groaned. How the hell do you wake a girl up at 6am? And I'm guessing it's a really stupid reason . I'm getting tired of this. I should have thought this over before accepting the deal.
Too late for that now missy!
" Arianna? I don't have all day. Hurry up." He said again and I immediately took a robe and covered myself. I got outside to see him standing nby his car in his expensive suit. He looked handsome as always but not as handsome as Nick.

For some reason , the stare he gave me made me uncomfortable. It didn't make my nerves to shoot up and it wasn't electric unlike Nick's.
Why do I compare everything to Nick these days?
"G-Good morning Mr King.." I said holding my robe tight around my chest. It was a cold morning and I couldn't wait to get back inside.
He looked at me intensely before finally taking his eyes off me and biting his lip. He looked like he was debating on something. I couldn't figure out what.
" Morning." He mumbled after a while.
" C-Can I help you with something?" I asked him and he kept staring at me.
" Yes. Firstly, I need you to stop stuttering when I talk to you .." he said as he started walking closer to me "...it's annoying as fuck and you sound like a petulant child. Secondly, you need to drop the formalities. We're supposed to cousins remember? If you don't get used to me, you'll blow your goddamn cover!" He said as he stood in front of me holding my arms that were covering my chest.
He looked into my eyes and for a spilt second , I saw them soften but he regained his emotionless look soon after.
" Am I clear?" He asked softly and I nodded. "Good. Now I'd like you to go wear some clothes and be down in 20 minutes. You have to know more about me so I'll take you for breakfast and drop you at Nick's okay? Hurry up." He said stepping away from me and I turned to leave but he held my hand.
" Wait." He said and I faced him again and he just stared at me without saying anything and then he just shook his head and told me to leave.
