Why deceive me??
57. Couldn't Face Her

All my life, this is the first time I've walked thus far all because of money. And the beast is sleeping soundly on the bed beside me. How did I manage to include so much wrath and hatred from him? Because one can only do this to his/her enemy. And as it stands, I feel like I'm his newfound enemy. It can't be possible that he found out about me, because he was outside, sitting inside the car when I went in to see my mother in her ward. This is so Insane. Then what can make him mad to the point of him ordering me out of his car to walk that long mile home? Why isn't my life always perfect just when I'm at the peak of perfection?

All these thoughts kept rolling up and down my head till I succumbed to the valley of sleep. DAMON'S POV

What have I done? Why did I do that? I know the distance was massive but I was so angry at her. Why did she hide such a huge thing from me? She tricked me into thinking she was Katie. Then if she's not Katie, then how did Katie initiate this? Is Katie's family aware of this gruesome game? Is it just between Katie and this girl beside me? If her parents are behind this, I won't let this slide.

I was deep in thought when she came inside the room. She stood for a few moments observing me. When she concluded I was asleep, she walked into the bathroom and came out a few moments later without changing her rain-soaked clothes. She went out of the room and came back moments later. She went downstairs to eat. How can one care about food more than health? She amazes me. She entered the bathroom again and I could already guess she was inside the tub. When she finally came out, she was wrapped in a towel, again. I scoffed and shut my eyes. I didn't want to be distracted by how glamorous and lush her skin looked. I didn't want my desires to overthrow my anger. I didn't hate her. She had a reason for deceiving me which I don't see any sense in, but what can I do?

I could sense she was putting on her night dress and was tempted to look but came over it. I felt her quietly lay on the bed and became still like she was afraid to move. She stayed like that for a couple of minutes and I knew she wasn't asleep. Who would sleep when their night was ruined? After a few moments, her body became calm and I could feel he breathing in a steady rhythm.

I felt remorseful for what I had put her in but still a little bit angry I was tricked. I knew it wasn't her fault and she needed the money. Her mother was at the hospital and being given oxygen was a lot of money. Where else could she get the money if she doesn't agree to Katie's terms? It was indeed not her fault. I need to set things right in the morning.

I barely slept a couple of hours when I thought I felt a slight shake on the bed. I turned around and found Katie, or should I say, Ronnie, obviously shivering on the bed. I I felt my pulse raise as I move close to her. I touched her forehead and it was burning up. She had a very high temperature all be wise of me. I stood up abruptly and went over to the kitchen to get a bowl of warm water. I placed a towel on her head and gently covered her up. That seemed to calm her down a bit and she finally relaxed. I was surprised that she didn't even wake up. It was good for me because I don't know what her reaction would be if she found me tending to her. Once I was sure she was ok, I went back to bed. I hadn't even closed my eyes when my alarm rang. I looked at my phone and saw it was already 6:00 am. I growled and cursed. I hadn't even slept up to three hours throughout the night.

I stood up and went into the bathroom to get my face fresh for the morning. Once I was done, I picked up my phone to call my assistant. She picked at the first ring.

"Good morning sir," She greeted.

"Please tell me I have an appointment today," I pleaded. I didn't want to stay at home or work from home. I didn't know the best way to face Ronnie. To my dismay, she replied. "You don't have anything scheduled for today sir," She replied.

"Are you sure? Like nothing at all?" I asked, hoping she'd tell me something good

"No sir. Nothing," She said.

I sighed. "Ok then, have a nice day," I said and hung up.

I went into my study and shut the door. I needed to sign piles of documents and I needed to do it now. I should be done before it's time for breakfast. I buried myself in work.

Ronnie woke up feeling worst than before. She looked at her legs and couldn't believe what her eyes were seeing. Apart from being sick to the core, her legs were like that of a pregnant woman. She gasped but it gave her a burning sensation in the throat. She then picked up her phone to call Estella.

Estella was in the kitchen preparing breakfast when a call came in on her phone. She picked up at the second ring.

"Yes ma'am," She said, knowing it was her madam, Ronnie, or Katie calling.

Ronnie couldn't recognize her voice when she spoke. It was hoarse and sounded like she swallowed something rough. "Estella," She called

"Madam Katie?" Estella asked, confused at the voice. Not sure it was her madam's.

"Yeah, it's me. Don't mind my voice," She said

"Ok, ma'am. Good morning," She greeted.

"Please get me a warm glass of water, now," She politely requested and hung up.
