Hard and Soft

Irene's PoV:

I refused to take the medication and now I am waiting in my room for the Mafia Lord.

Why did I even say I wanted to meet him? I don't know… Maybe I just wanted to see how he will behave around me.

I sincerely don't know what to say or speak to him. I just wanted to meet him, so I didn't take the tablets.

The door flung open and I looked at him walking to me, dressed in grey pants paired with burgundy coloured perfectly ironed shirt hugging his perfect chest, with his sleeved rolled to his elbows, he looked insanely gorgeous.

I leaned closer to the window, I felt utterly scared at his serious gaze cutting me into half.

"Why did you want to meet me?" he asked seriously.

This is exactly not how I didn't think he would be talking to me, I expected something soft and sweet.

"What is the matter? Why did you want to meet me and now why are you wasting my time?" his harsh words not just made me feel utterly scared but also hurt me.

How sweet he was yesterday night. He knew that he slep[t with me right? Then why is he being so harsh now?

"How many times am I supposed to repeat? I absolutely hate wasting my time. Tell me why the fuck did you call me here?"

He is now using foul language and I was already in tears, how can he sound so harsh?

His fierce stare scared me and I looked around to find some reason, I looked down from the glass window and I found plants.

I immediately pointed at them.

He looked in the way I pointed and looked back at me.

"What?" he barked.

'Can I go there?' I asked moving my fingers.

"This is not your mansion to roam here and there. You are supposed to stay here and adhere to the rules. Did you forget the rules? Number one is going against what is ordered and you are here exactly doing that" he screamed at me.

Tears streamed out of my eyes hearing his harsh talk, even when I didn't intend to cry falling weak before him. I somehow cried hard.

I felt shitty that I cried. I looked away without meeting his eyes.

"Is there anything you have to say?" he barked.

I didn't look at him as at the moment I am hating him more than, I hated him for throwing petrol and lighter at me.

Within seconds I heard footsteps and I looked in his direction, he had just exit the place.

His steps came to a pause as he neared the door and turned to face me.

"Have the tablets, or else…" his warning was enough. I walked towards the table and gulped the medication quickly.

I felt tears pooling in my eyes and I felt shit for expecting something. At least a bit of normal talk. But he is a devil, not any human. He has no idea what it is to be empathetic.

Ayda entered the room with a book in her hand.

"Tell me if you want something," she added sitting on the couch and reading the book in her hand.

I just sat in silence and my day just passed like any other day back in my home. Marie brought me lunch at the lunch hours and pushed all the protein-rich food inside my stomach along with the medication and now I got rid of the backache.

Will all my life be confined to just a room? Am I only here to make friends with walls? Even seeing only walls all these years why am I still having emotions? Why do I still expect things?

Why does my life have to be so hard? Did I do so many sins?

"Irene" I looked up hearing Marie call me.

"How are you feeling now?"

I nodded in yes.

"Are you sure, you are okay?" she asked again and though irritated I answered as I have to adhere to rules.

"Then come with me, you too Ayda" she added.

I looked up at her and within seconds I felt a cloth being tied to my eyes.

So until now, I was only mute, now I am blind too well done.

I felt her hands holding, I was being led somewhere, I understood that I was being taken in an elevator.

"Guess what place it is" I hear Ayda sing near my ears.

How am I supposed to guess? Do I even know anything except the darkroom given to me?

My blindfold is opened and as I opened my eyes, I was marveled at the sight before in my eyes.

I was inside the nursery, the whole place is filled with plants, I looked up at Marie unable to understand anything.

She warmly patted my back. Did he do it?? Then why does he have to scream so much at me? Bad human.

"Do you wish to water them?" as she asked I nodded quickly.

Plants are something that gives me so much peace, even in the room back at home I have plants that don't require sunlight in my room.

"Come, let me take you on a walk" Ayda held my hand in hers.

She walked me all the place telling me about every plant and I was overjoyed with the fact that he did consider something I want. I touched every leaf and there are many flowers. The whole space is just beautiful with every sort of plant.

Ayda didn't leave me for a second and I saw around, there is no one except Marie who was waving at Ayda.

"You just keep watching the plants, I will get your energy drink" Ayda smiled walking to Marie.

I took a withering rose in my hands and as I walked between the plants, I felt a hand pulling me. Before I can see what or who is that I felt a cloth being tied to my eyes. I am blindfolded again and these arms are soo rough.

I tried to get out of the hold, but I felt my legs up in the air and someone picked me in the bridal style.

Am I being abducted… again?
