CHAPTER TEN.

OWEN'S POV.

A soft knock jolted me off from my bed. There was this one knock that I was waiting for but faces I was not interested in seeing, kept appearing on my doorstep. I sighed deeply before opening the door halfway. A smiling Mikayla grazed my doorstep.

"Hey," she greeted me softly in her angelic voice. Eyes beaming in joy and excitement..

Wasn't she an Angel!

But sadly, she was not the angel I wanted to see at the moment.

" Can I come in? Or are you busy at the moment?" She asked as she peeked into my room through my shoulders.

"Uuuuhm..." I stuttered not really finishing what I was about to say.

My focus had swiftly shifted to Luna who stood behind Mikayla.

Mikayla no

ting that I was not paying attention to her, she turned to look to where my eyes were focused.

"Do you need anything?" Mikayla asked glaring at Luna.

"Not from you." she replied bluntly not even sparing her a glance. How rude!! "But from him yes," She added holding eye contact with me.

Before Mikayla could speak, and she was obviously not going to say anything nice, I interrupted her already opened mouth before she could utter a single syllable.

"How may I help you Luna?" I asked pretending to be clueless. I completely knew exactly why she was here.

She glared at me sharply and she looked damn annoyed and pissed.

What the hell did I do??

"My key card please," she uttered. No emotion detected in her voice or on her face. Just pure bluntness and straightforwardness. Who upset her? I questioningly thought to myself.

I took the key card from my pocket andvas soon as her eyes landed on it making its way out of my pocket, she swiftly snatched it.

"Next time, take only what belongs to you!" She sternly scoffed and walked away.

"Maids in this hotel are so rude!" Mikayla exclaimed shaking her head in disbelief.

"I agree," I nodded in reply.

I wonder what happened to the sweet shy girl I had met earlier.

She opened her room and banged the door behind her. The bang was so loud and it sent both me and Mikayla looking at each other in shock.

"What is up with her?" Mikayla annoyingly asked.

"I don't know." I muttered.

"May I come in now?" She asked

"Yeah sure, come in," I replied standing aside for her to come in.

She made her way towards my bed. She looked around, surveying the contents of the room then she sat down on my bed. As I sat down next to her, all I could think of was Luna's attitude. This sudden side of her was making me wonder what I found attracting in her. Looks can surely be deceiving.

Dismissing thoughts of her, I turned to the beauty next to me.

We sat there silently, nobody saying a thing to the other. The silence that filled the room was deafening and disturbing.

"Why did you have her key card?" Mikayla suddenly asked breaking off the silence.

Luckily somebody knocked on the door before I was forced to reply.

We both looked at each other. "Were you expecting someone?"

"No I was not," I answered as I got up to go and open the door but it was opened before I got to it.

It was Matilda and her recently found boyfriend. Alpha was his name I guess. Just what I needed more drama. Behind her, Karen scurried on as they all got in without even waiting for my invitation to do so.

Karen sat on one of the chairs next to the dressing table and faced Matilda and Mikayla's brother who sat on the sofa opposite the bed.

They all seemed pretty dull. What was up with people today!!!

"To what do I owe this unexpected visit?" I asked as I sat next to Mikayla.

"Well we were just bored and we decided to check up on you," Matilda smiled at me.

We then all carried on some meaningless conversations. The girls were planning on what to wear to the welcoming party that was being thrown for us after dinner. I tried making conversation with Alpha to no success. The dude and I were totally different. He was everything I despised . His jock behaviours were everything I hated seeing fellow dudes portraying. No wonder him Matilda got along so well.

"Can you Imagine that worthless maid! she has the guts to disrespect me like that!" Karen out of nowhere began conversing about a topic that everyone seemed to be acquainted to except me.

"And worst of all she did it in front of all those people," Matilda said.

"You should make her pay." Matilda suggested to Karen who nodded in agreement.

"I hear she is also part of this programme." Mikayla said.

"How can she afford this, Its way out of her league," Matilda exclaimed.

"Maybe she is a charity case," Matilda scoffed.

"Or maybe its her way of finding some rich fella to marry her! " What a gold digger!" Mikayla added sneering at the thought someone stooping that low.

"The things poor folk would do for money..." Alpha said nodding his head in disbelief.

"What are you guys talking about?" I asked wanting to have some of this tea I had clearly missed.

"Its that maid who was here earlier," Mikayla answered.

"What was she doing here?" Karen and Matilda asked eyeing me suspiciously.

"She came for her key card. Owen somehow had it," Mikayla explained.

"By the way what were you doing with her key card?" She asked this question for the second time and I again did not answer. I just shrugged my shoulders and turn to ask , "What did she do?" Wanting to know what Luna had done to Karen to make her so angry.

One by one they explained how Luna had badly treated Karen or rather put her to her place. From how Karen explained her side of the story, she did seem really hurt and somehow it bothered me to hear how Luna treated her.

Behind the mask Karen put on in front of everyone, there was a soft,selfless,caring scared little girl who was trapped in a never ending suffering and suffocating pain of being under her mother's claws.

When the two of us dated, she was always open with me and the fact she was vulnerable with me and let me in completely, made me fall for her all the more. Even after our break up, I always had a soft spot for her, and I couldn't stand seeing her hurt or anybody hurting her. If people actually were patient enough to see she was not all that bad, they would find her character quite friendly and caring.
