“Cook your own food!”

Xavier was tossing the spaghetti in the pan when his felt her presence ever before he could see. His body stiffed as his mind flashed the flashback of what had happened just few moments ago.

He could smell the very faint smell of lavender and peppermint, a scent that his tickled his nose everytime she was near him.

And then he heard her.

Paige cleared her throat and looked at him, waiting for him to turn. Even though she felt disgusted of herself after what had happened, but to live and to survive, she had to do what she had to do.

And with that, she packed her self-respect in a air tight jar and put it aside for a moment.

Because sometime, you need to back away to win a war ,only attack back with double the force later.

"Are you cooking spaghetti?" She p

tried too take a took at the yummy looking spaghetti that he was now tossing in the pan. The smell it self made her mouth watered.

"No, I am cooking my brain. Would you like to have some, princess?" He rolled his eyes sarcastically and Paige wanted to flung the rolling pin that was on the kitchen counter , on his head.

"There is no need to be sarcastic. I just came her to tell you that I am hungry. "She crossed her hand around her chest and threw daggers on the back of his eyes her eyes.

Now is definitely not the right time to bury him or burn him with her Lazer eyes.

"If you're done throwing daggers on me I would like to–" Xavier never thought that his captivate would be walking around the house wearing his clothes.

His white shirt looked too huge from her tiny form. And the was she wore is boxers made her look different. Her hair wet and water gather around the collar and some near her chest.

Okay, he really need to stop acting like a horny teenage.

He cleared his throat and looked away.

Quickl tossing the spaghetti in one plate he walked away, not even bothering to ask her about it.

Paige glared at him and stommed her foot.

"I said I need food!"

"Cook your own food!" He didn't even turned but walked away.

"Listen, son. Bring her here by tomorrow before things get out of hand." Nicolas said as he called Xavier to know what the next part of his plan. He for once , trusted his son with this and he definitely didn't disappointed him.

"I know. I have asked for more security. But I don't think so we will be able to reach there by tomorrow. " Xavier looked at his captivate, who was sleeping in the bed, curled up in a ball. Her hands held the small pendant while she snore softly.

"You know the danger ,son. And we can't take risk! For once , listen to me and bring her here tomorrow. And no, it not a request, but an order!" With that he hung up on him.

Xavier knew in a way his father was right. Staying here one more day might cost him their whole place. So moving out from.here would be the best thing to do.

And now that he knows how her father has been searching for her all around, he won't be able to stay here for more than a day.

And now he had to leave this place , and he knew once they goes back, their original plan will take the action.

He sighed as he looked at the wild kitten who he was asked to bring. Just a pawn of the vicious game.

He didn't want to feel anything for her, now even the lust that he was feeling. Her work is only to help them and once they successfully completed the stage , she will be gone.

Nicolas looked at the pictures book and traced his hand on one particular.

"I wish you were here today to see it."He muttered to himself and his hands traced the picture again.

He turned around abruptly and went toward the chart that he had made. Taking one of the pen from the table he crossed another picture.

"Wait for the destruction." He laughed darkly as he looked at the chart around him before walking away.

On his way out, he saw Jonathan walking toward him with a phone in his hand.

"Your majesty, I have a news." He bowed and said.

"Tell me what is it Jonathan." Nicolas raised his eyebrows and looked at his private secretary, who said something, and that made him laugh out loud.

"What a wonderful New you have given me, Jonathan. Now the reign is in our hand. all we have to do is place each player of chess in the right order." He laughed darkly in happiness.

"Indeed it's a great news, your majesty. But you have to be careful with , the task his highness has chosen. I heard the girls father was searching for her all around and this would be a big risk for us." Jonathan suggested and Nicolas nodded thoughtfully.

"I did called him to say the very thing. I hope he will be here with her tomorrow. Or else we have to make use the finally car. And knowing Xavier, I know we will do it perfect but we do need a back up plan. "Nicolas looked down in thought and then gestured Jonathan to go with the back up while we walked toward his room.

Just when he was about to enter, the same girl he say in the jacuzzi the other day.

She looked at him through her lashes and than looked down quickly.

"Pardon ,your majesty." She whispered timidly.

Nicolas looked at her from head to toe and then walked inside his room but the next second, the door flung open and he pulled the girl who looked like she was in her early thirties inside his room and pinned her down the fall.

"Tell me who you are!?" He looked at her in rage but the woman who looked timid and fragile just few moments ago, smirked which looked a vicious like snake.

She arched her back seductively and look at him.

"Your and only your."
