32. Naked
Dominic's point of view:
The doctor has checked on Vera. He said that nothing is wrong with her, maybe she's just stressed out and she will wake up very soon.
I know that what happened to her is not just stress, Phoebe must have done something to her. But since the doctor said that she will wake up, I have nothing to worry about, though I know that I won't be at rest until I see her eyes flipped open.
I sat beside her throughout the night. I couldn't sleep, I was watching her. How can I sleep when she's yet to open her eyes so I will be convinced she's okay. Hunter is surprised at our action. I'm surprised too. I have never cared or worried about someone as I am right now with little bunny. My heart won't stop beating in nervousness, the only thing I want is for her to wake up.
If anything happens to her, I won't forgive Maximus. I don't mind taking war to him regardless of our relationship.
No, nothing should happen to her. The thought of something happening to her brought unimaginable fear in me.
Liam mind-linked me, he said that he couldn't find Phoebe. He lost track of her scent. Vanessa said the same thing.
I clenched my fist in anger until my knuckles turned white. My anger will never subsidy if I don't tear Phoebe apart. Hunter is also furious. He really wants to tear Phoebe apart. How the fuck did she suddenly disappear and they also lost track of her scent. As I had presumed, she's definitely using a scent mask.
I will still have to send a warning to Maximus even without Phoebe's head. If he ever tries to do what he did again, I don't mind breaking all protocols. I mind-linked Liam and told him how to go about sending my warning to Maximus.
It was already 4am in the morning. My eyes were still watching little bunny waiting for her to wake up. Luckily, she blinked her eyes and slowly opened her eyes. I have never felt this relief in my life. I felt like seeing her wake up at this moment is the best thing that has ever happened in my life.
“You are awake." I gently kissed her forehead, inhaling her intoxicating scent Seeing her eyes opened, all the anger I was feeling a while ago was washed away.
“My head hurts, what happened to me?" She asked in a weak tone.
“Ehmm… you suddenly fainted at the party. But don't worry, the doctor had checked you and he said that you are fine, it was just stress." I don't plan on telling her what happened. Though I don't feel good lying to her but I have too.
She was about speaking but I cut her off. I know she will ask a lot of questions which I believe that I won't give her a sincere answer.
“Your food will be here in a minute. You are still weak and can't go downstairs." I have already mind-linked Angus to ask one of the maids to bring food in my room. Yeah, it's 4am and they don't have the right to complain.
“Yes, I'm really hungry," she mutters. I know she will, the doctor said that if she wakes up, she might request for food.
In a few seconds, a knock came on the door.
“Come in," I said. A maid walked in with a tray of food. I instructed her to drop it on the bedside table, she did and left immediately.
I fed Vera until she's full. She went back to sleep once again. This time I feel more relaxed about sleeping. I slid myself inside the duvet. I drew her close to myself and hugged her while I slept off, relishing her sweet scent.
In the morning when I woke up, she's already awake but still in my arms.
“Good morning," she greeted.
“You are welcome." I smile and kiss her forehead. “How are you feeling now?"
“I'm feeling good. I want to cook."
I raised my brows. Is she serious? She woke up and felt like cooking…. Unbelievable. I couldn't help but chuckle, this little bunny is definitely funny. Even though she said she's feeling good, I won't let her do anything. I'm sure she's not yet strong enough to do anything. Well, even if she's strong. I still won't let her do anything. She's my princess and doesn't have to stress herself.
“No, I won't let you cook. You have to rest all day," I said but she pouted her lips. She looks so adorable.
“You don't let me do anything. I don't like sitting and lazing around while people do things for me. I love cooking and I want to be a chef in the future, cooking makes me happy. If you stop me from cooking, how will I learn and improve my cooking skills," she said.
“You want to be a chef?" I asked. I was a little bit amazed. Well,I don't see cooking as a career one can choose. Maybe not for me but for others, it is a great career and I think little bunny is one of those people.
I still don't want her to stress herself doing anything but if cooking makes her happy, then I will let her cook. I only want her to be happy.
“Okay, I will let you cook but you won't do any other thing. My servants are there to do it. Also, you will only cook for yourself.
Cooking for everyone will stress you out."
“Cooking doesn't stress me out."
“That's my condition."
“Okay, if you say so but I can cook for you, Liam and Kyle?"
“Why should you cook for Liam and Kyle? You should cook for me only…."
“They are your friends, I should cook for them too," she cuts in. I smile. The way she speaks adorably always makes me smile.
“Since, you want to be a chef. I think I will open a restaurant for you in the future."
“What! You will open a restaurant for me?" She cutely widened her doe eyes. I nod, making her squeal in excitement. My laughter filled the room. She's so sweet. A while ago, I was so scared that something might happen to her but now I feel so happy seeing her excited.
Vera's point of view:
It's been two days since the birthday party I went to with Mr. Green eyes. I can't explain what happened to me at the birthday party. The last thing I can remember was going to the restroom with Beta Vanessa. She was waiting outside the restroom. I was washing my hands… yeah, that was the last thing I remembered.
I believe something happened to me but Mr. Green eyes said that I fainted due to stress. What stress exactly. Since my stay in this house, I have been treated like a princess; they never allow me to do anything so I'm wondering where the stress came from. Also, I was healthy when I went to the party.
Mr. Green eyes answer didn't clarify my question at all but I have no choice but to believe him. I felt that he couldn't lie to me. Besides, I can't think of anything that could make me faint if not the said stress, but I perceived some strong scent at that moment. Did I faint due to that scent?
Gosh! I can't think of anything, I will just let it slide. Nothing happened to me, I'm strong and healthy so I shouldn't think much about it.
I'm so happy when Mr. Green eyes said that he would open a restaurant for me. He enrolled me in a cooking class yesterday so I will get more knowledge in cooking.
I went there not alone, four guards were asked to trail behind me. I tried convincing Mr. Green eyes that I will be fine alone but he won't listen. I don't know why I should move around with guards, it is not like I have any enemy or anyone that wants to harm me. Since Mr. Green eyes was so stubborn, I gave up on convincing him.
Yesterday's class was fun, the teachers were nice too, even the students. It was my first day in the class, maybe I will make some cool friends.
Today, after class. I called my friend Nina on my way home. I told her about the cooking class and she was happy for me. Nina is my number one supporter, she told me that I will fulfil my dream one-day. I also told her about my life in Mr. Green eyes mansion, how I'm treated like a princess and many other things but of course, I didn't tell her about the shameful things I did with Mr. Green eyes.
“Vera, it looks like that fake boyfriend of yours is good. You are now living a good life. I think you shouldn't leave him," she said through the phone.
“Is not all about leaving a good life Nina. He's a playboy and can't love. After six months, he will definitely send me away." I don't know why I feel sad. Isn't that what I want, for him to send me away. I'm getting too attached to him and it's not good.
“Oh! Vera, honey. You shouldn't think that way. You are a sweet and beautiful girl. I'm sure you can melt the icy heart of a playboy and he will fall in love."
I laughed. That sounds funny. I don't know much about love but Mr. Green eyes always make me feel butterflies in my stomach whenever I'm with him.
When I arrived home. I feel so tired, our class ended late today. I need to take a warm bath and rest. Entering the room, I walked straight to the bathroom. I flopped the door open and my eyes met the naked Mr. Green eyes.
“Ahhh!" I scream and quickly turn my eyes away. He never comes home by this time of the day and that's probably the reason I didn't knock on the door because I thought no one was inside the bathroom.
I flinched and gulped down when I felt his presence behind me. He's so close that I could feel his breath on my neck…
