Chapter 13 My knight and His temper
My life depends on them. Surprisedly, the car still chased me, break through the hurdles, objects and anything that obstructed its path.
My breath almost ceased from the race I had began but never ended. I couldn't even move any longer. My scream wasn't heard and it seems I was leading them to an isolated route around here. Where were the humans around and what do this driver want from me!
I panic as the car raced at me again with so much speed that if I crush me, there be nothing left of me. I was whined, trying to get a hold of my breath and shaking. My weak legs could neither move any longer and I was stucked to where I stood. The bright head lights shone on my face. I got the feeling the driver intensionally wants to run me over.
I couldn't feel my body anymore as flash of my past life moves pass my eyes.
Only the fear of death came to mind and I wished someone would appear to save me. I elbowed my hands to my face, shutting my eyes when I felt my body suddenly land on something soft.
Jumpy, I opened my eyes and found myself on ravyen. How did he get here? I was stunned, but scared too and almost cried. We both exchanged breath and my stomach twitches. He came for me.
Once again, gush of emotions flush me as his hands were stranded on my waist but I sensed anger in his look, his burning eyes and angry face.
He came saving me at the right time. My heartbeat was so loud that anyone could hear it. However, it stopped when his fierce gaze met mine.
He took me up to stand, my body shook as I couldn't hear the whirling sound of the vehicle. Perhaps, it lost its way or crashed somewhere else. Ravyen held my arm firmly, his rage almost consuming me.
"What are you doing here!" He asked wroth and at the same time having worries in his eyes.
"I..."
"What? Couldn't you just obey a simple instruction?" He snarls not letting me express myself as I winced because his grip was hurting me. I noticed his eyes search around, as though getting alert of something was coming at us.
"I was o.nly.try.ing to su..rpr..ise you" I stammered as tears choked me. I was drawn so close to him, feeling the heat and tension motion from him.
"By dying? Ariana!" He barks and I became speechless, holding up the tears as I would look too weak to be frighten by his hollers. e was mad at me and I flinch, terrified. Tears brewed up in my eyes as he scolds me, I duck my head to avoid the flaring out saliva from his mouth.
"You're hurting me rav"
This man wasn't even listening as he voiced our his mind, furious. If he'd tell me why he wanted me inside the house like a bird in the cage, it wouldn't have been a bother.
"Don't you dare defile my orders!" He pressed on, gnawing his teeth at me and my soul skip out of my body
He pulled me to a car that drove close by, got the back seat open and harshly threw me inside.
He fasten the seatbelt on me and took a long glance at me. My hair had covered my face but I could still see his eyes. Rayven raised his head and replaced my muddle thought with the loud bang of the car door.
I shuddered, as I became despondent reminiscing over what I have done to instigate this anger in him.
His secretary, drop from the car and handed him over the keys as he would be taking the drive which sent chills down my body.
Nothing was more terrifying than having an angry man take over the wheels. I couldn't even move from where he kept me bounded by the seatbelt. I held the handle of the door, just to be prepared for his furious ride.
Our eyes kept locking through the rare mirror and I looked away finally, upset and pained.
He increased the speed of the car and air trapped inside my lungs. There was silence between us as my brain tries to recoil what transpired earlier. A call suddenly came in and he picked it up immediately.
"Have them handled" he ordered through the phone and terminated the call as soon as he gave that order. Our eyes merge through the rear mirro again and mine read curiosity.
When he halts the car, I almost hit my head on his seat. We had gotten home quicker than I thought. Possibly, he might have used a shortcut.
Before I could blink an eye, he had opened the door, unfasten the seatbelt and I almost stepped a foot on the ground but he carried me in his arms.
"I can walk" I defended and he grimanced at me, not giving me a response. My body jolt on his and my eyes noticed his chest which was partly opened.
It wasn't button up completely and I felt like touching him but that would be shameless of me.
I shouldn't be thinking of how alluring he looks despite being angry but what lies before me. As he walk me inside in his arms, the maids burst out from every corner.
The maids had panic in their eyes that read they were near to their end. Their feet and body cleared the path for us and I felt bad to placing them in a mess. He took me to my room and place me to stand erect and face him.
It was time for another down pour of his anger. Everything his said felt empty as I was far too wretch to listen but the declaration that jerk me back to reality was his final judgement.
"You won't be leaving this place!" He commands and I sulk my breath.
"I have a right, if you would just tell me what's wrong..."
"That's none of your business, the sooner you stick to the contract, the better for you" he concluded, having a shady gaze at me. He further made it clear that I remain in this room until he calms down. I saw him stomp towards the door, holding its jam.
He would be locking me up! I knew it because he took my room key from the table.
If he were done with me, he'd go after the servants and maids. What happened to the gentleman I thought or believe he was? Could he have been under a disguise and only got to reveal himself tonight?
I was wrong yes but then I couldn't tell if he was pissed off with me or just his way of expressing his concern affection.
My fear turned to a glower as he was annoying and just too much! Even if he was made at me, he shouldn't lock me up like some kid or slave.
"Rav don't!" I beckoned panting softly. He gave me no response and slammed the door and I heard the lock turn.
