Maybe I shouldn't get used to it, because he is not my brother actually, nor I am his sister I'm just an imposter trying to survive the fated end.
After returning to my room I began reparing to leave ...i need to shift as soon as i can.
I felt like dancing, I was over the moon. I no longer have to use a fork and knife to eat my food, finally! my fingers had began hurting because of using those stupid silverware and no more of those high heels that made my foot hurt and definitely, no more of the weird tight dresses and makeup.
Doctor life was 100 times better than this life, who said being rich fixes many things? Even if it does it also increases body pain, I shuddered at the thought and massaged my feet after sitting on the bed and taking off the block heels.
If I do shift this week I will get more time to plan the escape from death...and I will be able to do so comfortably without having to fear for Katherine to check up on my stuff.
And things went how I had planned, within the same week i was in the apartment Kalix had bought for me, it was a proper complex— gym, convenience store, dinners it was all in the complex.
"Here is your bag." Kalix kept my handbag on the vanity as he jumped on the bed, sprawling all over it.
"How will i stay in that home with that woman, especially now, without being able to irritate you?don't you think you are being mean?" Kalix groaned with that thought of having to live without me.
"Then buy an apartment for yourself in this building, you can shift here too it will be easy to pick on troubles knowing you'll be there to take care of them for me."
"Like you would need me there to protect you... And another thing young lady don't forget that the owner is my friend and I have specifically told him to keep an eye on you...and if I ever get to know that you brought a man here or picked a fight with someone, I won't spare you!." His threat was really doing its work as if i really had planned to bring a man here or create troubles for myself.
I scoffed at him
"Like i would bring a man here, I'll just go to a motel for a night it's more convenient you know." I winked at him, and I was successful in infuriating him as he got up from the bed.
"I dare you to do anything like that and I myself will get you married to a guy of my choice then you will have to spend your whole life with him!" He glared at me walking out of the master bedroom and walked in the living room as i followed him outside.
Picking up his jacket from the couch he draped it on his arm as he patted my head.
"Okay I'm now leaving I have an important meeting I will bring something for us for dinner okay?" He left me alone with a smile as I got back to setting the apartment.
It took me almost a whole day to set up everything, clothes jewellery, watches, shoes, perfumes, makeup, crockery and some beautiful decorations pieces.
After 7 hours of hardwork i was finally done as I slumped over the couch heaving out a sigh relief while staring at my home with a pleasant smile.
As much as I was hating being born as a character in a world where she is bound to die, i was loving it too, getting all the things in weeks which I couldn't achieve in 29 years of my life.
Not just a house, but a home.
It was 7 p.m when door bell rang and I went to open the door, at first I thought that it was Kalix but when I opened the door, it was his friend, the one who owned the entire complex, Luca Black.
Inviting him in I brought water for him as he sat in the living room.
"I'm sorry but I can only give you water I actually haven't bought any groceries yet." I was feeling so ashamed bringing plain water for a guest. That man just smiled and shook his head.
"No no it's fine, I just came here to check if you had settled properly or if you are in need of anything, especially now that you are my friend's sister and rest assured, you will find many people living here who also belong to elite class like yourself, So you won't have any problem with feeling at home and if you do have any problems you can ask the apartment representative she will fix them, or you can call me I will fix them."
Despite his young age he sounded not respectful but also professional, as he excused and then left.
After that I sat in the living room watching TV, waiting for Kalix to arrive. This time when the door bell rang i checked through the peep hole, it was Kalix.
I hurriedly opened the door, since I was starving, Kalix had came not alone but with two other men dressed in suit, who I did not know, both of them had heavy bags filled with I don't know what as he told them to keep all the bags in kitchen and after doing their work they left.
"What is all this." I said going through the bags.
"What do you mean what is that? It's food, idiot!" Following his words he began taking out things that were in the bags, some basic vegetables, drinks, snacks, some sauses, some lther basic ingredients and steaming hot burger takeouts with fries.
"Burgers!" I squealed and quickly picked one french fry from it taking a bite of it.
"Oh! heaven!" I let out a satisfied hum at the delicious taste, food after hard work feels like heaven.
I took my portion and went to the couch and began devouring it, and soon Kalix was also sitting on the couch in front of me eating his food.
He stared at me and then at my plate.
"Since when did you started eating fries with mayonnaise?"
I looked down at my plate, where there was ketchup and mayo squeezed on it, I had no idea how Laurel would eat her fries.
"I tried the combo of both ketchup and fried together, and liked it, so maybe it has been some... time."
He simply nodded and resumed eating, but he kept looking at me after every second.
"Laurel are you okay? I don't know why...but I feel like you are hiding something from me."
My hand that had a fry in it stopped midway and I looked at him, bewildered.
