Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 37

❝The truth is hard to see yet is there❞

.•*•.

My eyes open yet the tireless is still present in my whole body and I'm almost deep in sleep but my eyes catch a shadow. My hands go up to my eyes to rub them and then I open them once again to see Sebastian siting next to me. He's up against the tree and in the faint light I can see that his eyes are closed. He's asleep. What is he doing here? As I try to move around I feel that my body is under a soft mattress, a pillow under my head and a blanket over my body. 84

The two of us are still outside yet the confusion is clear in my head. Thinking about this whole thing, how he left me here alone and locked me out here, I remember falling asleep here, alone, cold and hungry. The hunger part is still present but I'm no longer cold. Why did he do that? I keep wondering this question to myself, though I can't find the answer that I'm looking for nor am I sure that I will ever get it. Sebastian still wears the suit that he wore at dinner, but the tie has been removed and one button has been undone. 1

I sit up and lean against the tree beside him. Though the cold is trying to bite me but I don't let it as I have the blanket tucked against me to keep myself warm from the bitter cold. My eyes never leave him, it might be dark but I can still see him. Not as clearly as I would in the daylight but still I see him. He looks so calm and collected and not like the Devil at all, the Devil that I know he is but I can't help but find myself questioning it with everything in me. 10

This doubt has risen inside and it is hard for me to understand what is going on and it leaves me utterly confused and with strange feelings that I don't know what are. Feeling like he might be cold, I move myself closer to him and wrap the blanket over him so we are sharing it. The blanket isn't that big but being close to him helps to keep both of us warm. My heart pounds in my chest when I'm close to him, but I don't want to not touch him. 6

My cheeks warm up, though I do feel hot and cold at the same time and that does confuse me, but I don't dwell on it. His soft breathing tells me he's asleep and I find it strange how a man that can be so cruel, sleeps so kindly and relaxed. Like the whole world doesn't hate him at all, like none of that matters at all. "You are my greatest riddle that will make me come undone" I whisper to him softly and calmly, knowing that he's asleep and he can't hear me.

After a couple of minutes pass, I lie my head on his shoulder and close my eyes. But, I find that I'm not tried at all. Even when my eyelids feel as heavy as rocks, I can't seem to find it inside my to be tired. Opening my eyes once more, I stand up. When I'm standing, I put the blanket over him to keep him warm like he did to me, or at least I think he did that for me. The reason why does confuse me to the limit, and I might never understand what he does and the reasons behind them.

I walk around in the cold with my hands hugging myself, to keep the little heat that I have in my body as the dress I wear does not give me much warmth. "He cares about you" A voice behind me speaks that startles me and I turn around. The man that lead me from Sebastian's bedroom before stands there. I give him a puzzled look as I walk over to him. "Mr. King, he cares for you, deeply" He says again, understanding my confusion. I shake my head at him. "No, he doesn't" I tell him. 14

He doesn't care for me? There's no way. He despises me if anything. "He does, just doesn't show it. Why do you think he did this?" He asks me and I look down at the grass and my toes. "I don't know. Maybe because he would be blamed if his... w-wife would freeze to death" I tell him. Sebastian doesn't care about me at all, he only wants to win a deal so he can keep me forever, as his trophy. That's all I am. Just a showpiece that he can use to show his status in society. 5

"You may believe that but you will find yourself wrong. I've been serving him for years and never has he taken time to spend with another as he does you. None has ever slept in the same bed and there is not once that he has refused a woman like he did tonight. All because he has begun to catch feelings for you" He tells me and I almost roll my eyes. He's lying. Sebastian King is the Devil, or is he? All of this confuses me too much and it is hard to understand what is happening half the time. 60

"Believe me or not, that is your choice. However, I shall leave you to your thoughts" He says to me before he leaves without another word. I find myself walking over to Sebastian as he still sits by the tree with the blanket that I gave him. I sit beside him and pull the blanket over me too and then I just look at him, at his face that once I used to cower because of. Wondering to myself if he has started to have feelings for me because I know for a fact that I'm starting to have feelings for him.
