❝A heartless monster❞ 51

.•*•.

The next day we were scheduled to fly back home and as much as I wanted to leave I also wanted to stay because I wanted to see the Eiffel Tower or some famous Paris places though I never got to do any of that. I sit in the same seat in the airplane and I look outside the window, and I do catch a last glimpse of Paris before we're too high and above the clouds that I can't see any more of that city that I will remember and I'ms till deciding whether the memories will be good or bad. 2

The date we had last night was perfect yet I could not help but feel sad the whole way through. I began to realize that he's trying to charm me into falling in love with him so he can keep me around forever and I'll be in that cage until the day I take my last breath. The ride home after the date was as silent as ever and we never really talked that much, I'm sure he did not want to talk to me, probably doesn't care for anything I have to say. 24

Then again, what more can I except from the man that inspires fear into other people and uses that fear to get everything he wants. The whole plane ride I'm looking outside the window, wondering how my life is going to become now. What is going to happen next? When it comes to Sebastian King, I can never tell what will happen because he's a total wild card. Before I even realize what is happening we are in the car driving to his mansion and the butterflies are flying faster than every before in my stomach, almost as if they want to get out, though I would not mind that.

His phone rings and he answers it. "Speak!" He hardly hisses into his phone. His voice sends chills for all the wrong reasons down my spine and throughout my whole body. He does not only inspire fear into others but also myself because I am terrified of him when he gets like that, however I am slowly starting to warm up to him, though only a little and it's so small that it's even hard to describe how small it is. "I want it done by midnight!" He rudely speaks before he waits while the person on the other line. 1

I don't know what they are talking about but I'm sure that I don't want to know. "Have it done by midnight or you can tell your wife that you are not only jobless but homeless too!" He speaks and I gasp at his words. His emerald eyes aren't long to travel over to me to see that I'm watching him with fear in my eyes, hopefully he does notice that. However, his look doesn't say anything that he feels remorse by that threat or regret it. 2

His face says nothing at all. Not even when he looks over to me. "I'll call you back" He says before he hangs up the phone even if the person is not even done speaking, I can tell he doesn't even care about that at all. His eyes stare into mine and I stare back into his, somehow I refuse to back down. "You can't make that poor person jobless and homeless" I tell him, trying to make him see that what he is doing is wrong. "I can and I will if he doesn't do what I ordered him" He says and I feel this anger rise within me.

"You are a heartless monster" I speak in the state of my anger as I turn around to look outside, wanting to get rid of this anger that has taken over me. Can't he see that just because he has money doesn't mean that everyone has. And that poor man has a wife and perhaps children. No child should ever suffer through that, no one should suffer through that. "So I've heard yet none has ever said it to my face. None other than you. I will let it slide, this time but next time a punishment will be waiting for you" He says and I feel a smirk for on my lips.

I turn to look at him and he looks confused at my smirk but tries to hide it, however I can see right through it. "We both signed a deal and you are supposed to make me fall in love with you, if you punish me, you will not only be set back but you will never achieve it. And for the record, if you make that man or anyone else homeless, I will starve myself until that person has a home and a job" I tell him. 60

He rolls his eyes. "You seem to have everything figured out, huh, wife?" He asks me and I nod my head. Then I see the glint of evil in his eyes. "Starve yourself all you wish, you'll be begging for food by the end of tomorrow. You'll see" He says and I frown as he turns around and looks outside the window. Knowing that it's useless to fight about this, I turn too, and face the window on my side and look outside and notice that we're almost at his mansion.

However I realize something, I stood up to him. And I didn't even realize it. I just wanted what was right for that poor man and in doing so I stood up to the man that everyone is afraid of and I even called him a heartless monster to his face and am the only one who has done that. Perhaps I am warming up to him and perhaps he is warming up to me but only time can tell. Time and a whole lot of hunger that I'm going to be feeling if he makes that man homeless.
