Ciara's POV
We got to a huge black gate,that opened on its own allowing us to drive in.We drove into a huge mansion. My eyes fell out of it's sockets not literally,after seeing the mansion before me. It spoke of luxury. It was exactly like the huge, luxurious houses I saw in movies. The mysterious man stopped the car,came down and opened the back seat for me. Leaving me behind, he got into the car and drove off. I stared at the mansion before me,there was a huge water fountain, a large swimming pool, beautiful flower designs. The architectural design was amazing. The mansion was large and took the space of an estate. I was still admiring the work of art before me when I heard a familiar voice,a voice that gave me butterflies in my tummy,I was praying I heard wrongly but unfortunately he was the one
"you coming in or what?" Isaac asked with a straight face
(What was he doing here, could this be his house?) I wondered
"Hello!! Earth to Ciara" Isaac called out still wearing a straight face
"You... you live here?" I finally asked
"yes and you should come in,it's freezing out here" Isaac said and walked into the mansion through the door I assumed he came out of,the mansion had different glass doors and you can literally see inside of it. I followed him, and entered through the same door. Entering the mansion,I was greeted with a large sitting room that had beautiful furnitures around,a large TV,a huge wine bar that had beautiful light designs and was furnished with really expensive wines,I could tell from their bottles that most of them were old and expensive.There was a huge glass staircase,an elevator at the corner, huge air conditioners stationed at every angle. The lights were beautiful and made the sitting room look more magical. There was a fire place, huge beautiful curtains and a massage chair at the corner. I felt like I was dreaming and didn't want to wake up. The sitting room in front of me was bigger than my house as a whole.
"You really live here!" I asked still finding it hard to believe
"yes" Isaac answered and shrugged his shoulders
"You like it?" He asked
"like it?? I love it!!,it's so beautiful,I have never seen something this beautiful in my life!" I replied still staring around. Isaac stared at me with a poker face without saying a word. He walked towards a telephone in the sitting room,picked it up and dialed a number,
"Hello Molly, Please can you bring those clothes to the guest room on the second floor,I have a visitor,okay,thanks Molly" Isaac spoke into the phone and hanged up
"Who was that?" I asked
"Come with me,I will show you your room" Isaac replied, ignoring my question.
Unknown to Ciara,Isaac was mad at Ciara for taking the risk of walking home alone at that time. She was too sturbbon and declined staying at his place and almost got herself raped. He had a feeling she might try something stupid and had to put one of his high class and well trained security personnel, Kelvin in charge of watching her every move. Kelvin was the mysterious man that saved her from the men that captured her. Kelvin had given him reports about everything and he was mad at her for taking such risks.
I was wondering why he was acting weird than usual,it was obvious he was angry at me.
Isaac walked towards the stairs,with me following behind. I wondered why we didn't take the elevator. We kept on walking and I wondered how long it would take to get to our destination,the stairs was not ending at all. I had to stop and breathe,I was really tired and could not continue,I was sweating profusely but Isaac looked normal and fresh,I wondered if it was not the same flight of stairs we both took.Isaac stood and stared at me as I breathed like a cat that was being chased.
"We could have used the elevator,you know!" I told him, breathing heavily
"But we didn't" Isaac replied without any emotions. It was like he was trying to punish me.
"You know what, go up,I will catch up with you,I am exhausted" I replied back. He was getting on my nerves with this attitude of his.
"You're lazy and sturbbon at the same time, luckily for you,I'm a gentleman" Isaac replied sharply.
"What the fuck do you mean by...." I could not complete my speech after seeing Isaac grab me like I was some paper doll, carrying me Princess style and walking up the stairs.
"What do you think you're doing" I asked with a serious face
"Can you be quiet for once!" Isaac replied, causing me to roll my eyes at him. I stayed quiet to avoid annoying him more, because it was obvious he was angry already. We finally got to a particular door where he dropped me. For some reason I was angry he dropped me,I was already missing his touch, what was happening to me. Isaac opened the door to the room, revealing a huge beautiful bedroom. It had a king size bed,a huge wardrobe that made me wonder what number of clothes could fit in it. There was a beautiful furniture at the side with a table,a lamp at the side of the bed, placed on a side stool,a massage chair and a huge TV. A tablet was placed on a table in the room, and a telephone too. There was a huge glass door that had it's curtain open. Moving towards the door,I opened it and it led to a balcony. The view from up there was heavenly. I could see outside the mansion, the city lights and trees, although it was late and dark but the city lights made the view beautiful. It was cold out there and I walked back inside and found Isaac still standing quietly as I admired the room. Being rich was really nice.
"You will be staying here until you're ready to leave. Molly will get you anything you want just don't hesitate to ask by ringing her up with the telephone over there. You can use anything in the room you desire to use,the TV, massage chair, Tablets,etc. Molly will be bringing you something to eat soon. Have a goodnight rest" Isaac said with a poker face and turned to leave. I was getting tired of this attitude of his
"I'm staying here alone?" I asked with a sad expression. The room was huge and comfortable but too big for me to stay alone.
"Yes" Isaac replied and paused in his movement
"And where are you staying?"I asked, surprising myself
"my room,why are you asking?" Isaac asked with an eyebrow raised
"Can you um....can you stay with me for the night, please" I asked, playing with the hem of my skirt nervously. I saw a smirk appear on Isaac's face but it disappeared quickly.
"No I can't" Isaac replied with a straight face
"Oh" I replied, totally emabarrased
"Cause if I do,we won't do any sleeping this night" Isaac continued with a smirk.
"Pervert!!" I replied with an angry face
"I'm not the one asking a guy to sleep with me,am I?" Isaac asked with a smile, and Isaac was back. He was right,I was the shameless one after all.I kept quiet and was blushing.
"Goodnight Princess" Isaac told me and closed the door to the room, leaving me alone.
I walked towards the king sized bed and slumped on it,I was really tired and hoped the day will finally come to an end. I had gotten into enough trouble that day. Just then a knock sounded on the door,
"What now Isaac!!!,I don't want you sleeping with me again,okayy,let me be!!" I shouted,deep down I was happy he came back.
"Sorry young miss,it's Molly,young master Isaac instructed I brought you some food,if you don't mind, can you please open the door?" Molly asked. Molly was the cook of the Max household. She had served them for 20years,and was Isaac's nanny when he was younger. She acted like a mother figure to both him and his sisters who were currently not in the country.
"Oh" I whispered, realizing i had said too much to the wrong person.I walked to the door and opened it, revealing a middle age woman with white hair and a loose long gown,she looked beautiful even at her age. She was carrying a tray, containing a glass of milk, sandwich, some delicious looking cookies and some clothes.I tried to take the tray and clothes from her but she insisted on taking it in herself.
"Thank you ma'am,I'm Ciara by the way" I told her with a smile,
"What a beautiful soul,no wonder you captured the heart of young master Isaac,you can call me Molly" Molly replied with a smile. She was a nice lady I thought but I think she misunderstood the relationship between I and Isaac.
"I think you're mistaken, there's nothing going on between Isaac and I" I replied nicely. She smiled without saying a word and walked towards the door after dropping the tray on a table and the clothes in the empty wardrobe.
"How many girls has Isaac brought into the house" I asked surprising myself and Molly,Molly stopped in her tracks and turned to look at me. She stared at me without saying a word
"I'm really sorry,I don't know what came over me,that should not be my business,I'm sorry" I replied embarrassed
"No need to be sorry, for your question,my old brain can't count them all" Molly replied with a smile, making my face fall immediately. Was I jealous,no way.
"But you're the only one he has tried this hard to respect. He thinks you're special and you definitely are,else you would have been warming his bed by now" Molly replied with a straight face before smiling again.
"I have said too much for one night, have a goodnight rest young miss" Molly told me with a smile and walked towards the door
"Please just call me Ciara, goodnight Molly" I replied with a smile and she closed the door.
I thought about everything Molly had said but was finding it hard to believe that Isaac thinks I'm special. I waved off all the thoughts as I was really tired and hungry. I ate the food Molly brought and went into the bathroom to shower. After that,I went through all the clothes Molly brought and found just one night wear. It was a black short gown. It was practically exposing every part of my body but thankfully I was sleeping alone. After throwing on the cloth,I slumped on the bed and slept off. I had series of nightmares, memories of everything that happened during the day,from Xander's shooting,my mom's death,the scary men,to the mysterious man beheading Jack came rushing in and I woke up sweating profusely.I checked the time on my phone and it was already past midnight. I went to the balcony to take fresh air. When I opened the balcony door,a very cold breeze hit me and I stood there for a while observing the surrounding,it was really quiet in the mansion.I assumed everyone was asleep already.After standing for a while it was getting really cold and I was about going back inside when I saw two shadows. I looked down inside the mansion and saw Isaac standing with some guy,I observed them for a while and they seemed to be discussing something discreet. Something was not right. I went back into the room quietly, grabbed a jacket,threw it on and headed downstairs.
