Chapter 4

• Chapter 4 :
• Nyla's POV
• The next day when I went down downstairs, I could smell the fresh cooked breakfast coming from the kitchen. It made my mood better because last night I didn't have enough sleep, I still cannot forget the sudden kiss he did to my lips! It made me angry at how simple he kissed my lips without any care. Damn it.
• As I arrived downstairs the maids that were busy cleaning the furniture in the living room stopped what they were doing and turned to look at me.
• " Good morning, Mrs. Adair." They all greeted me in unison. I was surprised they called me Mrs. Adair.
• I smiled at them despite my surprise at what they had called me. " Good morning everyone" I greeted them back.
• When I was done greeting them, the maids went back to what they were doing. Something is different from the maids today than yesterday but I can't find what it was, well whatever. I just hope I don't run to him because I still can't get over what happened yesterday.
• I walked towards the front door to get out , suddenly someone grabbed my arm and that surprised me.
• "What?" I turned around in confusion to see who grabbed my arm.
• Damn it.
• " Where are you going?" He asked me in a cold voice while looking at me.
• While looking at him I can't help but look at his lips which reminds me of how he kissed me suddenly. I just hope my expression is not weird in his perspective.
• " Good morning Mr. Adair," I greeted him.
• His cold expression turned more colder with an annoyed look with it " I ask where are you going?!" And he repeated his question.
• I looked at my arm that he was still holding. " Can you let go of my arm Mr. Adair?" I asked him. Trying my best to act normal to him.
• " No , answer my question " he demanded and refused to let go of my arm.
• " I am going out to buy my breakfast?" I awkwardly replied to his question.
• His hold became tighter but it was not that painful, suddenly without saying anything he started to walk and was pulling me with him as we made our way towards the dining room.
• “Hey let me go!” I demanded him when we got inside the room.
• He looked at my eyes with anger in it “ No I will not “ he replied.
• What does that mean?!
• “ Why?! Let my arm go Mr.Adair, it is getting painful” I demanded again while telling a lie that it was painful.
• He looked surprised and glanced at my arm that he was holding. I thought he was going to let it go but he loosened his hold a little bit.
• “H…mm ahahahha” suddenly someone we heard laughed that surprised both of us.
• I glanced to see who was laughing and it was an old woman who had boy cut gray hair and was wearing a maid's uniform even though she is old , the old woman is beautiful despite her old age.
• “ Sorry I can't help but laugh because both of you are just so cute to look at!” she explained while suppressing the urge to laugh again.
• “ Victoria!” He shouted in anger at the old woman maid.
• The old woman whom he called Victoria, who had a happy expression, has changed into a cold and strict persona. I got chills when I saw the sudden change in the old woman's expression.
• I also saw his expression turn pale after seeing the sudden change of the old woman he called Victoria.
• “ It's Mrs. Victoria, Van Adair “ She said in a cold voice, reminding him how to address her.
• So cool.
• “Whatever” He replied coldly to her.
• She got angrier after hearing his tone of voice “ I think you need to be taught again about respecting your elders and how to treat woman Van “ She said to him with a threatening voice.
• He got paler after hearing Mrs. Victoria’s words. I think he just swallowed his own saliva in fear.
• Mrs. Victoria just smiled again going back to normal “ but that's for later , for now let me apologize on behalf of Mr.Adair’s treating you badly “ Mrs. Victoria apologized to me.
• “Mrs. Victoria you don't need to apologize, I understand Mr. Adair behavior towards me and you don't need me to address Mrs. Adair you can call me Ms. Wixx or Nylan in short “ I reassured and corrected Mrs. Victoria about how she should address me.
• Mrs. Victoria raised her eyebrows in confusion “ But Mrs. Adair you are his wife so I need to address you like that “ she said.
• “Ahmm… that is true but I am just his wife in the paper Mrs. Victoria so addressing me like that will be a waste of time. I prefer calling on my name or original surname” I explained to her.
• “ Well you married in the church right? In front of a priest right?” Mrs. Victoria asked again in a serious tone.
• I nod in response to her question “ Well then I will call you Mrs. Adair then” she said in a final tone that made me confused if I needed to protest at her or not.
• “But-”
• “ Mrs. Adair , I officially welcome you at Adair’s household as our second employer” Mrs. Victoria interrupted and welcomed me officially as she bowed to me with respect.
• I look at him for help but he was just looking away , not saying anything at Mrs. Victoria. I felt hopeless and confused about what I should do.
• “ Just give up Mrs. Adair once the head maid slush head butler Mrs. Victoria had her final words: she won't back down anymore and it's too late. Mrs. Victoria is already welcoming you as a new member of the Adair’s Family” one of the maids explained to me while smiling as she also bowed in front of me in respect like what Mrs. Adair did.
• I was really speechless and surprised that I didn't not notice some maids helping me sit in the chair. I have no choice but to force myself to eat the food that was in front of me.
• Van’s Pov
• When I was done eating my breakfast which was forced on me to be eaten. Victoria pulled me out of the dining room and inside a storage room.
• “ Let's talk “ She seriously said to me.
• God I hate when she is like this to me.
• “ We have nothing to talk about Victoria” I replied to her and tried to leave but she grabbed my arm, put it on my back which was very painful.
• “ Damn that hurts !” I cried painfully at her.
• She just chuckled hearing me cry “ you deserve that bastard for being disrespectful to me and the young lady “ she said to me.
• “ What's your deal Vic-arhg! That Hurts Mrs.Victoria!” I was about to ask when she pressed my arm in my back harder.
• “ You know what I mean Van, are you planning to divorce her or something like in the drama’s?!” She asked in a serious tone. When she calls me by my first name , Victoria means it very seriously.
• I didn't answer her because it was the truth which made her press my arm in my back that was very painful like my bones are going to break.
• “ God Mrs. Victoria stop!” Begged her to stop hurting me.
• “ This is my final warning Van, do not continue what you and that young lady is planning because it will not happen and I will make sure of it “ Victoria warned seriously as she looked straight in my eyes.
• “ Ha! What do you know about the plan Mrs Victoria?!” I sarcastically asked her.
• “ Divorce, a very sinful act against the church and God , you will just regret it Sir “ she replied with fair warning in her voice.
• I clicked my tongue in annoyance “ What do you know? You have no Idea how hard it is to be forced to be engaged to someone whom you don't know for years and to think it was done when I was just a kid!” I coldy told her “ so you don't have the right to say those nonsense to me Mrs. Victoria “
• “ Van-”
• “ Stop it , you are not my mother to nag me like this, you are just a mere employee so stop meddling!” I shouted at her in anger, losing my temper.
• She immediately stop holding my arm and stepped away without looking at me “ Yes of course I am sorry for crossing the line sir, for I am just mere head maid and head butler in this house” Victoria apologized and bowed in front of me “ if you excuse me Sir I need to start working “ she politely excuse herself and walk away.
• I just realized the words I said hurt Mrs. Victoria “ Victo-Mrs. Victoria I-” before I could finish my words she already had left.
• “ Fuck”
• Damn it!
