Chapter-21

Vanessa's POV:

Few days later,

morning,

I rushed out to be on time, I bumped into someone in the hallway. I felt like the person grabbed me, I instantly said, "...Sorry..."

But as I eyes went to the person's face my heart went bitter.

I moved away from Robert, he stated, "I was looking for you..."

I walked passing him saying, "You don't need to..."

I just want to avoid him. Why is he doing this to me?

He grabbed my hand pulling me close, Robert said, "Hey! Don't forget, You are suppose to respect me..."

I said to him stern, "And you are not suppose to touch me.... Mr. Morris told you this right?"

His face went bitter, I yank my hand off walking away. What is he thinking all this time?

I can still hear him following me. I said to the maid in the way, "Please.... Listen to Mr. Robert request, he is looking for help..."

I heard him dismissing the maid while I went to stand in the hall. I don't know why he is so much into me, or he thinks I am like any other girl he can use.

I bumped into someone again, I hissed this time as I hurt my head a little. I noticed Seth. I immediately apologize, "Sorry, Mr. Morris...."

He fixed his clothes as he ignored me, he looks displeased. I fixed myself looking away, until I noticed Robert walking in my direction.

God! Can't he just quit!

I turned to Seth as I said, "Mr. Morris, breakfast is ready..... Maids are already waiting..." I just want to end this time with Robert, because once we are out of this palace, he goes somewhere to work and then arrives at the club at evening.

So... it's perfectly fine to not to worry about him the all day?... Right?

I heard Seth, "I am not in mood... I am leaving for work now..."

Now?

My subconscious said, "Isn't it great? I can just avoid that Pervert Robert?"

Yea... Right...

I said, "Ok, Mr. Morris lets go..."

I smirked a little at Robert.

Seth cleared, "I said I am going.... You will take care of Palace with Martha.... I don't want mistakes, I am going out for few days..."

I saw Robert smirking at me pocketing his hands, he cannot leave me with that man, He knows Robert is trying to woo me...

I said, "But... But I work at the club too..."

I saw Martha bringing a coat for Seth, Terry was already near the car, I had a glance from the huge entrance.

Seth looked at me saying, "Greg can handle it... Like he does always..."

I looked down, I know he doesn't trust me. But At club I can at least doing some real work.

Robert mocked, "Your pet, is so upset..... Tell her not to worry, she still has to take care of me..." He smirked.

I was really frustrated. Few days are going to be hard.

I heard Seth, "Robert, You are coming with me..... The coast, doesn't look good after your assurance..."

Robert's face got serious, suddenly his expression became scary. Robert almost hissed, "You are saying they are going against me?"

Seth just stayed silent.

Robert looked away in anger, wow! I don't want to be near his anger.

But isn't it good that he won't be here too.

Soon, Robert got his jacket too, he was leaving as he said, "Let's go..."

I stood there processing, does this means.... I am here without any worry. Maybe I can relax for a bit.

I was all relaxed until Seth said to me stern, "Clean my room..... no one beside you will do it...."

But.. Doesn't Martha does that....

I looked at Martha who was just standing there like rock, she should oppose, saying things like 'I am new, don't trust her'....

I whispered, "Yes... Mr. Morris...."

Before he could go he warned again, "My eyes are on you regardless my absence... remember, your misbehavior will cause problem...."

I glared at him a little, I whispered again, "You can trust me this much at least..... I am not kid..."

He warned, "Yes or no...."

I understood I am not supposed to say much.

I sighed, I said, "Yes..."

I noticed Seth walked away, Robert winked at me before going. I rolled my eyes on these both stupid men.

But as the huge hall got empty, the maids walked back to their work and all the threats left.

I looked around whispering to myself, "This place got bright in their absence.... At least I am going to relaxed these days..." I smiled a little looking around.

After so long finally few days to myself.

Next day, I stood in his room all happy. Happy because today I didn't had to deal with any of them. No need to fix things around as his preferences, make sure he was liking his dinner and stuff.

I looked around the room, yes, his room is clean. Why do I need to clean it again?

Maybe he is a clean freak too? Don't he has so many flaws already.

I should get to work, after this I will have my dinner and sleep early today, I also got a book from Kara, I am thinking about giving it a shot too?

It's been long I read any book.

I started vacuuming his room, His room has different shades of blue closer to black, like the wall is that dirty dusty blue giving it edgy feeling, while most of the furniture is black, even the curtains are black too.

On the wall is his picture showing him all proud. And some artifacts on the shelf. My favorite would be a tv screen so big yet as one of those painting frame. It gives the room a nice touch, like strangers can mistake it for a painting.

But like anyone will walk in his room.

Soon, I was dusting the artifacts, or should I refer cleaning them so carefully. I don't want to be in problem if it gets damaged.

I was wiping a golden car, it was size of a shoe box. But it is so pretty and detailed. I had a closer look at it reading something on its back, I realized it was Seth's name.

It's cute until you realize it's Seth's. Anyways I kept it aside moving on with work. I realized the coffee table was not so neat. I sighed.

I cleaned it up, I went to window where long curtains hang. I looked out of it realizing there is mesmerizing view of the estate. The tall tress aligned in pride, the dark woods at the end of the garden, I clearly noticed the wall too. Some flowers plants here and there, and that majestic fountain.

This place is pretty, but what a shame this place doesn't seem to be pleasing at all.

I closed the curtains walking back to main area of the room. I noticed the bed was not neat at the end, I quickly fixed it walking away. But I found myself sitting on the bed testing it, It's so soft.

Does that inhuman likes his bed soft as cloud, he is really weird in some sense. I should get going, I should spend this time on myself rather than him.

But my feet stopped having a glance at this picture. I sighed.

I feel like I got betrayed, that I though Seth was a good person. And now I can't even call him by his name, because he owns me.

Such a terrible person.

I walked out of the room closing it.

What it would be like if Seth was really what we all thought?

At last blood is thicker than water, He became like his cruel father, regardless his mothers tries.

Seth became splitting image of Alberto Morris.

My subconscious whispered, "Blood is thicker than water...... isn't Seth Mrs. Silvia's son?.... what about that blood?.... won't there be a chance to change him..."

I walked in the hallways almost smirking on my stupidity.

He can't change, a person who kills without mercy can only be murderer..... He won't change, because I didn't saw any regret in his eyes.

All I know is he has this darkness in him that no one can fight.

Seth cannot change.

My subconscious said, "You want pay back Mrs. Silvia's kindness... then what if you could return her son to her...."

I instantly reminded myself, No, there is no way to return.

Seth has already crossed the line.

His mother will only break seeing him like this, it's better that Seth is missing.

A missing son is better than a criminal son.
