Chapter 8
The sound of a plate hitting the ground as it fell echoed though the room.
I stared at her dress in disbelieve,but their was nothing for me not to believe, I had just spilled food all her and she looked raging mad .
"I'm so sorry"I muttered in a composted manner .
"Sorry,are you serious"she scoffed at me rolling her eyes dramatically.
"It was an accident, am really sorry"I said not wanting to cause any trouble,but it was already too late for that."Carson, are you just going to let this maid disrespect me like this ?"Kelsey asked in anticipation turning her head to face him .
My eyes met with his for a brief moment and I could see the hesitation lingering In his eyes as his locked into mine. I wasn't the one at fault and everyone knew that but he didn't say a word non of them did.
I knew I wasn't going to let some spoiled little daddy's girl get it the way she wanted ,I didn't care if I was going to get in trouble, but I wasn't going to all act weak and pathetic.
"Stop standing there and clean it up"she snapped back at me.
I didn't move, I wasn't going to submit to her ,not in a million years,I wasn't.
"Clean it up!"she yelled at me but I didn't even flinch."clean it up your self,"I said boldly. Her mouth flung open in disbelieve .
"What did you just say?"her voice shook in anger as she stared daggers at me .
"Everyone clearly saw that your the one who walked into me ,so clean it up your self,"I said my voice not changing even a bit.
"Excuse?, me who do you think you are to speak to me like that ?"her voice was clear evidence of anger and disbelieve."I'm just speaking facts here, there's no need to get offended miss Kelsey,"I spoke my voice calm ,I could feel all eyes on us but I didn't care , not even the slightest.
"What facts are you talking about , you ruined my dress?"she snapped at my ,and I had heard enough from her scrappy big mouth.
Without a word I picked up the plate that had fallen, intending to walk past her"facts that your little brain doesn't seem to be able to grasp"and with those words I walked past her not minding to look at her shocked expression, Lucas turned his face away from the table spilling out the water he had in his mouth, chocking a laughter, and from the corner of my eye I cought sight of miss.Freya's smile , but Carson being Carson just stared at me with an unreadable expression on his face,as I walked out of the dinning room.
Apparently that all had happened two days after my encounter with Carson at the home library,I knew I had just made a new enemy but I couldn't careless, someone had to put her in her place.
Surprisingly I didn't receive any punishments or getting scolded, instead Lucas became more humourous with me always bringing up the fact that I actually stood up for myself from her whenever we met and Carson's mother even started noticing me and always passed me a gentle smile when we encountered one another , which made my nerves relax, I thought they were going to stand up for her but I guess I was wrong.
A few days passed and apart from the occasional , Kelsey trying to get on my nerves , everything else was fine,I would encounter Carson at the home library some afternoon's but that was it we bearly talked only a simple greetings and an acknowledgement nod . In one of our quiet reading session's, I found myself smile due to a line I had just read, a small chuckle escaped my lips and I felt Carson's eyes move towards me from his book, I lifted my eyes and looked at him with an apologetic look.
We didn't seat at the same place coz apparently Carson decided to add another table the, I would mostly seat in.
"Why are you keeping me here?"the question slipped out of my mouth one day, he looked up at me from his book at his tablet,"you wouldn't understand"his voice was calm and full of authority.
"Well, I would like you to explain it to me then"I stared into his eyes from my seat, not wanting to back down.
"I don't have time for that"he said with a cold voice, that almost sent a shiver down my spine, returning his gaze back his book with an unreadable expression.
"Your lying"I said clearly holding back my anger.
"What do you want Evelyn,?"he asked in an irritated voice, looking up at me ."I want to know the true reason of why I'm being kept here against my will,"I said my voice raising by a small fraction.
"Because I don't want you going around giving information about us to other people, there you happy now?"he asked standing up anger evidence in his voice as his eyes remained unreadable"why do always have to be such an ass, what have I ever done to you, to deserve this,I told you I won't tell anyone anything but you just can't seem to get that"I snapped at him also standing up.
"Because I don't trust you and if you think I'm treating you unwell then you don't know what am capable of, so don't say things your not sure of"with those anger words he took his book and left, I stared after him until he disappeared behind the door, just leaving me standing there without the answers I needed, in disbelieve.
I felt my chest tightening and a ringing sound echoed in my head, followed by a small head ache. I sat back down at my chair to prevent myself from falling, I felt helpless, weak and angry at the same time.
That night I didn't get much of sleep, I had almost managed to start my escape plan but a guard walked in on me and I had to pretend it was nothing.
I stared at the ceiling my tired limbs resting on the bed that seemed to be softer than usual due to my tiredness, I was trying to understand his point of view but he just didn't make sense.
As I layed there my mind running with a thousand thoughts, my mind flashed an image of dark grey eyes forcused on a book, I wanted to end him but I was smart enough to know he wasn't to be messed with, he kills people , how did I know that?, I over heard one of their conversations and it was clear he wasn't as good as one would think.
My eyes slowly shut as I let my tired body relax 'why are you doing this to me Carson?,why' was the only question running through my mind as I fell into darkness.
