Chapter 7.:Curiosity Got Her Up All Night

Zoey kept on tossing and turning all night long.She couldn't help but wonder what she had gotten herself into.And how her life was going to be just working as a maid for a man she hardly knew. A man that made her be allured into his green glittering eyes and his fine face.A man that seemed so imperfectly perfect and gorgeously evil.

Zoey got out off bed and went over to the huge glass door that led to the balcony and slit it open.As soon as she stepped out, the cold breeze of the night brushed against her face.Slightly causing her to shiver from the coldness. She was just in her silky black short nightdress and her hair was all over her shoulders.Even though it was dark outside, the view of the backyard was still splendid with itself quietness and darkness all over. Zoey smiled to herself before something caught her full attention. From a bit far away she saw the sluggish running of peaceful water and how the moon from above managed to glitter down at it.It was a lake.And Zoey never felt so blissful than she was right then.Knowing she'd certainly befriend the lake and visit it every time she was done with her chores in the house.

Leaning her body forward,she rested her arms on the glass that surrounded the balcony and breathed in and out with ease.

Dinner had went well with only her brother and Mr handsome-devilish himself. Apparently his 'girlfriend' had something to attend and had to postpone coming over to join them over for dinner.Although many men would be slightly disappointed at times like that when their girlfriend postponed having dinner with them and their guests, Xander was really-really quiet calm and his mood did not change even for the slightest.That really mesmerized Zoey,and to say she had came to observe what kind of a man Xander seemed to appear to be like...it really got her shocked. Xander seemed like the possessive and dominant type. Those type of guys expect submission and obedience right?Something just didn't add up and Zoey was so determined to find out what it really was.

As the dawn rose from an angry bed,Zoey was already awake.She made sure to take a bath as early as possible before Xander could wake up and be able to clean the house and make him breakfast before he left for work.

Within a few hours of going up and down,left and right cleaning the house, it was left sparkling at her touch.Almost all the furniture was made of glass,so she had been utterly cautious when shifting everything around to clean.

Zoey was in the kitchen making breakfast when she suddenly heard a throat being cleared behind her.She was wearing her black Nike leggings with a white long tee that covered all her curves and bums. Which she was gladly of because she knew she'd be bending down every now and then to clean around the house.She didn't stop what she was doing and definitely dared to not turn around.

Silence roamed in the room for a moment.

As soon as she heard footsteps fading out of the kitchen,she suddenly let out a huge breath out.

Finishing up with the breakfast, she took everything to the dining table where her eyes were soon captivated by Mr handsome-devilish himself as he sat down on the table, staring down at his phone.

Zoey walked further in and placed what she was carrying on the table before she went back to the kitchen to get more.After arranging everything,she excused herself and went up to her room.Xander had not said a single word to her all morning until he left the house for work.Somehow she was glad but it still pained her that he was not giving her any attention. But brushing it all off,she decided to go for a quick jog just to clear off her mind.She checked her time and it read 08:08 am.

The weather was fantastic for a jog,not sunny and not windy. She had on her jogging legging,sportbra,some comfortable shoes,handsets on,hair tight up in a ponytail and she was good to go.

She was about to leave when one of the guards spoke to her.

"Sir said you must not leave the compound under any circumstances." The man said to Zoey.

Zoey couldn't believe her ears.Xander had instructed them to watch over her and not let her leave the house?

"Who does he think he is?" She scoffed .

The man remained silent and did not answer her.

"What's your name?" Zoey asked

The man raised his eyebrow but told her in the end."I'm Matteo ma'am."

Zoey smiled at him."Nice name.Okay Matt,I'm leaving. Tell your 'sir' that I had some errands to run,okay?" She did not wait for Matteo to speak.

And then she jogged her way out.The park was where she was headed because she loved how serene it was.

It was around 9am when Zoey decided to take another shower and go out to buy some toiletries. She was wearing a simple short white floral dress with some flat shoes on.Her hair was again tight up into a cute tight ponytail.

She sneaked out when Matteo was out.She knew she was going to get into trouble when she came back later but somehow that got her a little excited. Seeing Xander so angry and possessive?She enjoyed that.
