CHAPTER TWENTY

I walked towards the voice and got closer to him. He really commanded attention. He was a man of immeasurable beauty, nice deep blue eyes and curly blonde hair. He looked more like a model, but he was way younger than depicted in his voice. He was really cute. I stood there amazed by his handsomeness when he continued speaking. "Fiona, if I'm correct I'm Alexander, my brother has told me so much about you, it's a pleasure to meet you." He said, "it's a pleasure to meet you Alexander, it's really nice to finally meet someone from his family's" I said as we both laughed it out. I wondered why he never talked about any of his family members except that one time he talked about his dad, it was a really dreadful combination, it was full of admiration and despair. But why didn't he tell me he had such a cute brother.

"Where were you off to" he asked with a smile on his face.

"I was going to the dining room, I was really famished but you called me and my hunger disappeared." I said, jokingly while we both laughed it out.

"Then please go on, I would have loved to accompany you, but I have to go meet dad for something, it's really urgent. So if you'll please excuse me I'll leave now." He said as he moved away from me.

I stood there lost in my thoughts digesting what he just said "Dad?" I asked myself. I thought his Dad was dead, if his Dad was still alive then why is he king I asked myself. And why didn't he bother to tell me they lived here or attempt to greet them yesterday. Everything was really confusing, Sebastian lived in a web of secrecy and it was really overwhelming to think about it. But, this was different. Why would he not tell me he had family members? How would his father look at me when I finally met him? Everything sounded crazier than I had thought. And my stomach growled, increasing my frustration. I had to settle my problems one after the other.

I walked down the stairs and asked one of the guards for Sienna, and he went to help me get her. Well since she's a woman and was in charge of taking care of me I thought I'd ask her some questions. Sienna moved briskly towards me. " Please follow me. " She said as we moved together to the dining room.

Everywhere was crowded and noisy but, I've never received so much attention and care like I was receiving now. I really loved it, I was always working and in turn I'll not get appreciated and I'll still get abused after. I really loved the setting since Sebastian entered my life. But, the more I got to know him the farther I felt from his life. Secrets upon secrets that didn't seem to end. I wish he'll open up to me someday, I would really love that.

The dining room setting was amazing: a long glass dining table with chairs, filled with fruits and delicacies from different countries. I wondered where I would start from as I sat down to grab some food for my growling stomach.

The pain au chocolat really grabbed my attention, made with a flaky croissant and smooth chocolate centre, it was perfect for the morning, but it could not satisfy me so I added the chicken waffles made with southern fried chicken and Belgian waffles. It was a perfect match for the hunger the worms that were singing in my stomach.

It was delicious. It was definitely made by the best chef in the world. It tasted absolutely nothin like anything I ate in the past. I was really engrossed with the food. I was really a big eater. I thought won't my stomach get big? I didn't want to get fat, but I was so hungry it felt as if I hadn't taken anything for a whole week.

I continued eating until I was full and I cleaned my hands as I sat there wondering what I would be doing without Sebastian around. Everything was no fun without him and I was just a stranger here without him. What should I do? Should I just go back to the room and watch tv? I really didn't want to explore. I want to walk around and have a tour of the whole place. It looked so exquisite and nice I really wanted to know how big it was.

"Sienna, would you take me on a tour around the place?" I pouted as if I was a child asking for a chocolate packet from her mother.

" Well, that's my duty… you don't need to ask. I'd love to take you on a tour around the place. In Fact it'd be my pleasure. So are you ready now, or in a few minutes." She replied with a smile playing on her face.

"Alright in a few minutes,I really want this big breakfast to digest a bit." I said as we bought it and laughed it out. "Alright I'll come back at ten." Sienna said.

"Thank you so much, I'll be waiting." I said as she walked away from the table. I was pleased there was someone that understood my language in the house and I really enjoyed speaking with her. She looked pretty nice and beautiful too and she seemed accessible. Maybe I'll ask her one or two things about Sebastian in the long run.

She came back and was ready to take me but a sudden question burned my mind and out of curiosity I threw it at her "who's Alexander?" I asked and her eye brow furrowed as she turned to look at me "why'd you ask my lady?" She said with curiosity burning through her gaze. Why was she suddenly behaving as if I mentioned a ghost's name. "I met him upstairs this morning." "You… you did what…" she said stammering. I was really confused, why is she behaving this way because I mentioned a name, was he really a ghost?. My heart left me in fear as the thoughts of a ghost haven spoken to me dawned at me.
