Chapter 28 Scared
Chapter 28 Scared
"Where are those pictures?" I asked, my heart racing out of my rib cage.
He didn’t bother to respond to me as he scoffed. "I need you out of my study room as soon as possible. As you can see, I’m busy." He turned to his desk but I quickly made him halt when I spoke
"I don’t care if you’re busy. Just tell me, what kind of pictures do you have of me and why did you take them?"
"It’s for my pleasure." He grinned ignorantly "You wouldn’t understand even if I told you."
He is right. There is no way I will understand his madness.
I stared at him in disgust and disbelief. I know arguing with him will be baseless. He wouldn’t tell me anything anyway.
"I hate you," I growled
He shrugged "I don’t care." He said.
I felt like hitting him in the head to unleash my anger but I knew better. Malik is a monster, the second I react towards him, he’ll hurt me in ways I’ll hate myself for.
I turned and walked out of the room fuming. When I got to the bedroom, I slammed the door shut, hating even harder.
I don’t know what Malik thinks of himself but he’s gotta stop. I’m so tired of him. He’s the worst person ever. I mean why would he just take pictures of me? He doesn’t own me. He had no right to do that.
The more I thought about it. The angrier I became. I wanted to do something back. To show him that I’m just as scary as he is.
As I kept pacing around the room trying to think of what I should do, I came up with nothing. But that’s not the end, I’ll make sure I get to him. I’ll have to teach him a lesson, one that he wouldn’t forget and will regret ever doing mean things to me.
But first, I need to find Steven. He’s the only one I trust in this house and the only one I want to talk to right now.
~ MALIK’S POV
I lied. Of course, I have no private pictures of her. I’m not a crazy man who will take private pictures of his wife and watch them for fun. That’s just insane. But I had to lie to her about it. I wanted to see her reaction which by the way ear priceless but at the same time, I just wanted her to leave me alone.
Her voice constantly yelling about a bunch of things I really don’t want to hear about was pissing me off. I can’t handle that.
Today was already a bad day for me and I’ve got so much to handle and Eli being here being all dramatic was something I couldn’t put up with. That’s why I lied and thank god I did because it made her shut up for once.
Maybe I’ll keep lying to her just to make her keep her mouth shut and fear me even more. That would be the best way to handle her and keep her on her toes.
I finished working on all the projects. It was a long work but I did it anyway.
When it was nighttime, I headed to the room and found Eli lying on the bed.
This just got interesting. Now I’m going to make her hate me more.
I lay next to her and her eyes popped open, she looked at me in horror and I groaned. "Goodnight," I said and turned off the lights.
When I turned to the left to adjust, I noticed how Eli moved instantly as if she was scared of me.
That amused me. I can’t believe she’s suddenly scared of me. I had given her rules and shown her how much of a scary man I was but it never made her scared but all of a sudden this does. Never in a million years did I expect that.
Just for fun, I moved again, she moved too and it made me laugh slightly.
I did again and again and each time, she flinched until she suddenly fell off the bed.
I laughed so hard.
She fumed "I hate you."
"Oh please, stop saying that," I said with a bit of laughter in my voice
She rolled her eyes and grabbed her pillow "I can’t stay in the same room as you. I’m leaving."
I quickly turned on the lights as I climbed off the bed. "You’re not leaving."
"Watch me," She reached for the door handle but I quickly grabbed her back
"I said you’re not leaving. This is your room and you’re staying here. Do you understand that?"
"You can’t make me."
"Watch me." I grabbed her pillow and threw it back on the bed.
"You can’t do that."
"I just did. You’re staying here. This is the only place you can sleep in this house so stop thinking you have options."
"In that case, I’m taking the couch." She said walking to the bed to grab her pillow, "I can’t sleep next to you anymore."
I scoffed "You will… You must." I made it clear as I snatched the pillow and threw it back on the bed.
She snapped "What is wrong with you! Why do you have to be so stubborn?"
"The only stubborn person here is you. Why can’t you just lie on the bed like a normal person and sleep,"
"Because I don’t want you taking pictures of me that’s why." She growled, "If I lie on the bed next to you, who knows what you’ll do to me."
"I’m not gonna touch you without your consent if that’s what you’re thinking," I said, my voice softened. I hope she doesn’t think of me that badly
"I’m thinking everything because right now I can’t even trust you. First, you take pictures of me, and then private pictures of me. God knows what else you plan on doing."
"I plan on doing nothing, okay? I have no plans on doing anything."
"How can I trust you?"
"Because I lied.." I blurted. Her brows furrowed in confusion. I sighed heavily knowing that I just had to tell her the truth. "I have no private pictures of you. I only lied to shut you up and it worked."
"You’re lying about lying."
I rolled my eyes "I’m not lying. Get over yourself. I have no private pictures of you and I don’t plan on having anyone, so now can you just relax and come sleep. I’m too tired to argue with you tonight." I said, I walked to the bed and lay down.
Eli stood there for a moment looking at me with a bit of uncertainty before she walked up and lay on the bed.
"You really don’t have any private pictures of me?" She asked quietly
"I don’t."
She went silent for a while, and I was silent too. I was starting to fall asleep when suddenly she spoke again "Why did you lie you had them when you didn’t?"
"Just go to sleep Eli, you clearly had a long day," I said turning off the lights. She didn’t speak again and it made me feel so much at peace that I fell off right away.
