TBHM 12

That man, I knew he was a good man. He led me to his place this morning while his sweater was covering my head and my face. I didn't know he was a rich man, why would I know? Well, he led me to the highest floor of this well known building that only the richest people in this country can afford - RMK Bldg.

He led me here and told me to rest and eat, he even told me to feel at home. He says that he has work today so I can use anything in this house that I find necessary.

I've slept this whole morning and when the afternoon came, I just sat near his glass wall overlooking the whole place. It's just a waste that this place looks so bare, like he only goes to this place to sleep.

Since I was here without anything to do, I tried searching for a good anime to watch - you see, I may be busy but still I love anime and all those Manga stuff and other reading apps. While searching, I found this Vinland Saga and so I watched it without much thinking.

While watching, I can't stop myself from crying. Thorfinn, son of thors. He became one of those vikings just to have revenge for his father's death. It hurts because he was still a kid but his desire to have his revenge is greater than his safety.

Click!

I stopped everything that I was doing when I heard the click from the door, followed by footsteps.

I waited to see who's walking, I saw his face first. He was looking around.

' Leigh?'

I heard him call me when he didn't find me on the couch. The place I am is a little far from the couch so it just makes sense that he did not notice me.

' here!'

He looked at me and noticed that I was currently wiping my tears away.

' hey. Why are you crying? Are you hurt? '

I shake my head no. He's making his way now to where I sat when I confirmed that he's not alone. Well, the footsteps I heard earlier indicates that he's not.

' who's he? My groom?'

I asked him while he's helping me to stand on my feet.

A few seconds passed and he didn't say anything to answer my question, I looked at his face and his looks said that he's angry but he still didn't say anything. I suddenly felt like I was slapped in the face when realization struck me, maybe he doesn't want to help me anymore? Maybe he'll kick me out now? Maybe he found me talkative? Annoying? With this in mind, I touched his hand to get his attention since he's looking hard on the glass at my back.

I just look at him and whispered

' it's fine. you just have to say the word. Okay?'

He looked at me with a question in his eyes like he didn't get what I meant but just let it slide.

He took away his hand from my touch and just say

' he's a doctor, he'll look at your injuries.'

I just nod and sit on the couch.

-

The doctor leaves the moment that he's done checking me, like he's afraid? But I wonder why? '

We eat in silence, I really feel like he was angry at me. But I don't know why? Maybe he doesn't want me to keep on asking about the groom thing? Hmp, then when should I ask about it? I don't have many days to spend, that old bastard will surely call me soon and demand my whereabouts.

--

Night came and he assigned me to the other room. It's like the other part of the house, bare. I washed myself and wore the things that he gave me. As per my request. It's a trunk suit since I'm comfortable in it.  

---

' Leigh, can you give me the share that you have in our company?'

' What?' I asked Levi, I don't know what she's up to but she suddenly brings up the shares.

' C' mon, mom gave you the bigger share in that company even though you're not around for 5 whole years, your share dividend is still there and waiting for you to claim! You didn't do anything for the company to prosper and yet you have the biggest share! You see, I'm still a good girl to give you choices. You can choose, it's either you gave me your share or I'll have dad to kill you while you're asleep. '
