Derek stood at the gate with a dark face.
For a brief moment, I just stared at him in disbelief, no, this couldn’t be real.
He couldn’t be here…
How does he even know about me being here??
He took a step forward and instantly, I stepped back from him in fear. There was a weird sensation in the pit of my stomach and soon my muscles started to clench making my legs jelly and I stumbled back.
“Ah…”
Instead of pouncing on me in anger, or becoming a hero by saving me from the fall, this time, Derek did none.
He remained at his place standing like a Greek God, while I, as his low servant sat on the ground flinching from the pain tremendously.
His eyes swept over me and I could see the blood padding at the corner of his eyes.
“Get up…” He commanded, even though I was frowning in pain, he didn’t care, his command was firm and strong.
I know he’s holding back his anger.
Swallowing the immense pain in my foot, I stood up with difficulty.
