Escape

Xavier looked at himself the mirror of his room. Two big bruise was sitting on his shoulder proudly.

He winced in pain as he touched the dress wound.

He never thought this wild kitten would be so wild. She definitely did knew how to fight, and give bruises. And his left shoulder was the proof of what she was capable of doing.

He opened the button of his shirt and looked at himself in the mirror. Two big teeth marks near his shoulder blade was very much visible. It was turning blue and purpleish in colour. He never thought she would have the power and strength to attack him.

He definitely didn't thought she would be this wild when he saw her video of punching bulky guys in a boxing ring. He never thought she would be this good in fighting.

And that was the biggest mistake he has done.

And if he might add, she did a pretty good job in protecting herself.

He sighed and got the anticiptic from the shelf next to the mirror and treated the mark with cream.

He looked at himself in the mirror and sighed again. The way she looked at him while he was leaving the room printed in his mind. She looked at him with rage, fear and anticipation of what could have happened.

But despite all of this, he didn't missed the slight bit of vulnerability in her electric blue eyes. He didn't wanted to overthink about anything at this moment, but the way she looked at him, something stirred within him.

He knew it wasn't right. Him feeling sympathetic toward his captivate isn't right. And she was not just a simple captivate, she is a big pawn in the game of thrones ,his father was playing.

One mistake and things will be crumbling down like a sandcastle.

He but his lips as a sudden thought hit his head. He knew this would be risky but this was the only way to at least have a civil conversation with the wild kitten.

He chucked as he remembered the was she looked while glaring at him with her piercing electric blue eyes.

Just when he was about to pick up his phone to call his father , to update about the progress, he heard an ear piercing scream that came from her room.

And ran out as fast he his legs could take, not bothering to put in a shirt. On his way , he got a sharp knife on the table and just for safety purpose , he grabbed the knife and opened the door. Looking here and there in alarmed ,he found no one, but the reason behind his distress , looking at him with her innocent big blue eyes.

"What the fuck has happened? Why did you screamed?" He glared at her and she looked down , blinking her eyes rapidly.

"I –I am hungry and I want to pee." She looked down nervously, and he frowned at her weird behavior.

He shrugged and was about to walk away, when She called him again.

"Please. I ready need to go to washroom." She pleaded, while he stilled, thinking of what has gotten inside her mind suddenly.

Paige crossed her fingers and send a silent prayer to almighty that her plan should work.

She held her breath and waited for his reaction. But neither did he untied her nor did he walked away. It almost looked as if he was in deep thought.

Did he understood what she was planning? She thought and sunk in the bed , scared of what will happen if he finds out about her plan.

"You can guard me, I know you don't trust me but neither do I . But still I am trying here you see." And just like that, she threw an arrow of words in air, hopping it would hit him.

He turned towards her and looked at her from head to toe, something about his gaze send shiver down her spine.

"Fine! First I will bring food which you will eat like a good girl and the I will guard you while you do your ..erm business." He said sternly , while his eyes held a threading look that made her gulp, but she nodded nonetheless.

He looked at her one last time before walking out of the room , shutting the door loudly in process.

Paige let out a breath of relief and thanked God for the success of her plan.

She bit her lips and looked around, trying to find a window , or anything that would help her escape, but sadly she found non.

May be she can find one when she would goto the washroom? She looked at her tied hands and sighed.

And after few moments , the door swung open again. And he pushed another trolly towards her.

"I got your food." His voice held no emotion for she almost mistook him as a robot.

She nodded and gave him a weak smile.

She held her breath again, waiting for him to untie her hand, but this time he did nothing for that sort. Rather he sat next to her and pulled the plate from the top of the table and placed it in his lap. He turned to look at her with a small smirk and raised a piece of apple near her mouth.

And at that moment, she knew this wasn't going to be easy. He was a cunning man, and he definitely knew what she would do if he untied her.

"Eat , Princess." He nugged her lip with the apple, urging her to open her mouth to take a bite.

And as disappointment filled her, Paige took a bite from piece of apple rather aggressively.

She turned to look up at him and her heart stopped for a second. He was looking at her with a dark look that made resulted goosebumps around the nape of neck.

She gulped the fruit and looked down. Not wanting to see his eyes.

And that when he has forwarded a strawberry with chocolate coated in top of it.

She gasped and looked at him.
