"I want you"
Those words kept ringing in Mia's ear.
She shivered as she heard those words.
She felt emotions she hadn't felt before.
She was having butterflies at the bottom of her stomach.
She gulped as his breath was fanning the crook of her neck.
She stared into his burning gaze, looking at her with lust,
But she couldn't answer him with the way he was looking at her.
So she avoided his eyes, then answered,
"I...I can't, I can't do what you requested"
She said as she pushed him away from her.
She couldn't just allow him to get his way with her, not when they are even a thing.
She then looked at him with an angry gaze.
"Why would you just say those disgusting words to me, do I look like one of those whores who you could go ask and they will give in to you"
Mia retorted, she was angry he could just say that word anyhow to her.
'it means I'm nothing to him' she thought sadly.
Right now, Jasper was also annoyed.
He looked down at her with a mocking gaze,
" You are ahead of yourself, who do you think you are, huh, just because I asked you to give me s*x you are making a hare out of it, who are you, a holy mary, I wonder how many guys have made way with you, you are such an annoying whore....."
He was still saying when a resounding slap came in contact with his face.
Mia just slapped him, with tears rolling down her eyes.
She was furious, how could Jasper say those hurtful words to her after saying those false confessions to her the other day?
"I curse the day I met you, I regret even knowing you, please don't you ever show your face to me anymore."
She said angrily as she was about to storm out of the room, but Jasper's voice halted her.
"And don't you ever raise your hands to slap me again. Remember I'm still your boss"
He gritted the words out as he also stormed off into his bathroom.
Mia broke into more agonizing tears, she couldn't believe Jasper would say such to her.
She promised herself then and there never to love again, she just had two heartbreaks in a roll.
She won't try to love again, never she thought as she also left the room.
Aria's room***
"Pearl!!!!"
Aria called angrily as she threw some things on the floor.
The room was already a mess.
Eva was standing shaking as Aria continued her madness.
She had tried consoling her but it was all in vain.
While Nutella just stood there watching how Aria was displaying her madness instead of her to think wisely.
"I promise to kill Pearl with my own hands, how dare she talk to me like that"
"Yes we are going to kill her, but first, calm down"
"How would I calm down when even the master didn't say anything when I reported to him"
Aria had reported to Fred about it, but he had ignored her and didn't say anything, mad that alone angered her more.
She needed him to give her permission to deal with Pearl or to deal with her himself, as per Pearl insulting his favorite mistress.
But no, all he did was ignore her and send her away from his room and it's all because of Pearl.
"You all are fools, instead of you to plan on dealing with her you are here displaying nonsense, tsk"
Nutella who was quiet since, said as she scoffed.
Aria and Eva turned to her, she doesn't mind her insult because that's how she had always been and she is quite dangerous.
"What are you implying?" Aria asked.
Nutella smirked as she gestured for them to move closer.
They did and she whispered some words to them.
Aria smirked evilly
"Wow Nutella you are best at scheming"
"Your end is near Pearl," she said as they all laughed.
***
"Pearl"
Pearl heard her name being called then she turned back.
She just came out of her room to stroll around and also for her to plan how to make Fred feel sorry for his actions.
She wants to teach him a lesson so that next time he would know how to treat a lady rightly.
As she turned, she saw Mike approaching her.
"Mike" she muttered happily as she cackled running into his hands.
He was the only member of the clan who cares for her in a friendly manner.
"Where have you been all these days? I have missed you?" Pearl pouted cutely.
Mike saw her expression and smiled at her, he loves her pouted lips.
He grabbed her face and squeezed her cheeks lightly
"Why were you looking for me baby doll?"
"Baby doll.....I like the pet name"
"Anyways I have been hoping to see you because I have been bored, no one to talk to since Mia has been busy recently, both in the kitchen and in Jasper's room"
"And also I have missed your jokes, why don't we stroll out together?"
She whined with puppy eyes.
Mike couldn't resist
"Ooh Pearl you know Master has been sending us on different missions"
"Yeah you are right the master," Pearl sighed sadly.
She likes Mike as he stood as a brother figure to her, she never had any siblings anyway.
Now this cruel master is sending away her brother to different missions making her bored.
But who was she to object to his orders anyway.
"Could you teach me how to fight? I wanna be strong I'm too fragile."
She pouted again holding her hand while wriggling it.
Mike laughed hard as he saw her funny display.
She looks cute right now he couldn't help but look at her pouted lips and had the urge to taste it.
He knows he couldn't do such a thing to her, not now though.
" Okay then if you want me to teach you, I will. However, you know it won't be easy".
"Yeah, I know. You know I'm partially a member of the clan too, and all clan members know how to fight. I don't want to be left out"
"Not all can fight."
"Are you going to teach me or not?" she folded her hands under her chest.
"Alright, alright, I will teach you, but let's go to the field first."
Mike urged her to follow him and walked away together.
They talked as they walked, while Pearl laughed heartily.
Passerby looked at them curiously, wondering how they became close and surprised at how Mike was laughing heartily too.
They were about to reach Jasper's room when they bumped into Mia.
She was in complete tears looking pitiful.
They halted in their pace.
Pearl moved closer to her,
"What is it Mia why are you in tears, who hurt you?" Pearl asked concerned
Mia continued sobbing, even hiccupping.
As Pearl saw that she wasn't answering, maybe because Mike was there. She turns to Mike,
"I will take her to the room."
Mike understood so he nodded and looked at Mia.
She was looking down avoiding his gaze, he sighed and then said,
"Okay I will wait for you in the garden"
He walked away and Pearl turned to Mia
"What happened Mia?" she asked wiping away her tears.
"Let's talk in the room," Mia said between her sobs.
Unknown to them, Fred was standing at the far end of the hallway.
He had seen when Pearl was walking alone so he followed her curiously.
He followed her till she met Mike, it took him his whole to not go and punch Mike right then when he was holding her like that.
He fisted his hands but didn't go to them.
He walked away to his room, angrily.
***
Mia was now calm.
"So what happened?"
"I can't explain, I don't even know how to say it"
Mia said feeling ashamed of herself for falling in love again, not only that but with a Playboy.
" What do you mean?"
" I fell in love with Jasper, I know I'm stupid right now but I couldn't help it. He made me fall for him and I fell helplessly"
" And what's he saying about it?"
Mia explained everything and Pearl sighed.
"I don't blame you for falling in love easily, but you have to know who you fall for first."
"How about I teach you how to make him regret ever hurting your feelings, and make him fall completely in love with you?"
Pearl smirked knowingly.
