Chapter 31 - Eyes On Her

Baldwin's Mansion

Savannah's POV

We reached the floor which I wasn't familiar yet was familiar with, the third floor where I went when I was exploring the mansion and that guy stomped at me and pushed me all the way down the stairs. It feels a lot better now that he isn't around in there. I mean, he was kind of a weird guy with a red look on his face, "Where have you been for two hours" I hit my face, and it was Blaze's arm.

Since I was so focused on my inner thoughts, I didn't notice he had stopped walking ahead and had turned towards me. I looked up gently caressing my forehead, "Are you okay?" he asked out of concern, probably realizing how strong he is "Why did we stop?" I questioned him back in confusion, thinking we were heading to my room, but he stopped midway in this huge corridor. "Where were you for those two hours?" he replied.

"It only take an hour with traffic to reach the mansion?" I wasn't sure why he was asking me this question, but perhaps I arrived here late and he is worried about his father's recovery as I'm the one treating him "We stopped at several places that Theo requested to me way earlier, but I didn't have time to bring him there." I continued as I looked down at my fingers "I'm sorry I used my patient's time for my own" I looked up and assured him, "It won't happen again" he stared at me with a soft smile.

"Did you enjoy?" The question puzzled me, so I knitted my eyebrows in confusion. "You enjoyed your time on the way here, Savannnah?" he re-explained as he saw the confusion on my face, "Yes, I did" I answered him honestly without thinking twice, I am an honest person, so I won't lie to anyone about whether I get sued or not.

"Then that's all that matters" and he turned around, leaving me at my spot, but before he turned around, he gave me the same smile as he gave me in his study room, which anyone would fall for, but the statement he said now left me dumbfounded, Did he mean if I enjoyed my time? Now I was wondering if he really valued my happiness? But why? But something inside me flutter, I don't know why but it was a loving feeling, so I smiled at his back as I followed him further away, flinging away all the irrelevant thoughts.

We stood in this huge spacious corridor, outside the big wooden door which had some intricate details engraved on it, with several animal prints engraved there, thousands of other details which I don't know the sources of, but it sure looked all elegant like a royal chamber from outside. But there was other door which was plain, but as large as the one in front and as elegant.

He gestured to the plain doorway of the room and gestured his left hand to open it for me and we stepped inside. This bedroom was a world apart from my previous room in the apartment. Its walls are engraved with my favourite colour, a luminous pale blue that creates a sense of ethereality.

"This is your room," Blaze gestured taking his left hand pointing to the room with plain door, gesturing me to go on and we walked inside. After entering the room, I was completely captivated. This bedroom was a world apart from my previous room in the apartment. The walls are carved with my favourite colour on them, a luminous pale blue, which gives the room a sense of ethereality.

The cool blue walls of this bedroom were warmed up by Brexton Cole Interiors with beige accents, and a pair of sculptural black bedside lamps were positioned either side of the tufted headboard to add a graphic element that defined it. On the left side of the mansion, there was even a large glass window that led to a balcony facing the front,.

The bedroom had two other doors inside and I wondered what was inside of them. "Let me give you a quick tour" Blaze said and I nodded and walked up to the glass window following Blaze, opening it we entered the beautiful place, "This will be your balcony so you can read books while enjoying the fresh air" he said and I eyed him because yeah, that's a good idea, but then I noticed something else, another balcony on the right side, it looked like another bedroom maybe?

We walked inside, and he opened another wooden door that I was curious about and the inside was just as big as the bedroom. It was a bathroom with a walk-in closet, okay, so that this bedroom has everything I have ever wanted and needed, yet I have always neglected it.

Seeing all these things makes me feel emotional, but I can't stop wondering how every single thing I see in this mansion is my favorite, first the flowers, then the color of the bedroom and now this, it must be a coincidence.

"Take a break before you go and attend my father, no rush" I declined because for me my patient comes first and I'm already late today, he must get his dose " No, the patient comes first, I have to check him up and give him some antibiotics-" he cuts me off "It's been taken care of" confused, I stared too deeply at him, "I injected the antibiotics, Savannah" he continued, "Now take a good rest here, Oaky?" I nodded.

"If you need anything, the room next to this is mine" he said. "Don't hesitate to ask, simple." So the door that looks like a royal chamber belongs to him, and I was intrigued by the design of it, I was curiously wondering what it will look like inside, is it as royal as it's door design

Somewhere down the basement

Author's POV

People dressed in formal attire stood in a dark basement checking their watches as the time passed. A black Rolls Royce drove into the dark basement, a man wearing a red suit, which looked like he was the pack's head, got out and stood in front of the car when he saw the black Rolls Royce drive inside.

From the passenger seat, Arthur stepped out of the car and opened the back door to let someone out, and then the Black Brushed Calfskin Altavilla Derbys shoes emerged and finally the face of Blaze emerged too.

He walked towards the red suit guy, wearing the turtleneck he wore this morning layered with his black trench coat and sunglasses, "You are finally here" the red suit guy said, tapping his forehead as if exhaling. "I have been waiting here for six hours" he seemed irritated from being stood up for so long. "Lower your tone Edward" Blaze threatened him in his cold voice.

It was Edward who looked at him a little suspicious because he knew what Blaze was capable of and he did not want to get on his bad side for his own good. "I apologise" he apologised for his rash tone. He knew he was nothing to Blaze in anything at all, and he didn't want him as his enemy right now when he knew what the consequences would be, do business and leave, it went like this for him.

As soon as Blaze signaled something to Arthur, he stepped a little further and dialed someone, after some discussion, he walked back to his position. After 10 minutes, a white Land Rover rolled inside, and a few men emerged carrying some white carton boxes and walked up to Blaze their boss. "Here are your orders, take a look" Blaze informed him.

As Blaze told Edward, he walked towards the boxes to check them out. Finally, he held a box and placed it on the ground, and he too crouched down, smiling. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" that happy face soon turned into scared and horrified as he collapsed on the ground leaving that carton box, because he had just seen the terrifying thing in that container.

Freshly cut head drenched in blood and nothing else. All the hair from their head was pulled by force and no eyes were visible, Blaze just looked coldly at him, gestured his men for them to leave the boxes there, "The rest of the items are inside" and he walked away with his men.

Edward, who did not have the courage to check any boxes, told his men to do so. One of the men took out something that looked like a small packet filled with white powder, it was drugs. Yes, Blaze does drug trafficking in the shadows.

Baldwin's Mansion

Savannah's POV

After checking in on Mr. Baldwin one last time, I left his room and walked downstairs to go to Theo's. I had been told earlier that dinner would be ready at 9 so I would be there for dinner.

"Hey Mommy" Theo greeted me as he saw me halfway to his room in the corridor, "Where are you going?" I asked him. "To you" i eyes his suspiciously "Why?" he replied as he took my hand "To tell you about my room" he added "Wanna see?"

I smiled at him as he said, "Let's go there after dinner, we are getting late for dinner Theo" I looked at my wristwatch, it showed 9 sharp. "We're already late, let's go" and we walked away.

I saw Blaze seated at host places when we arrived at the dining area, and It was evident that Blaze was waiting for us when we arrived at the dining area as his plate was still empty when we entered here "I'm so sorry, we are late." I apologized and counted the number of times I have said this word today, "It's fine, I understand, it's your first day here." Blaze replied with a warm smile, he is so understanding of everything that I felt more guilty than I already was.

We sat down on our chairs, I on the opposite side of the host area and Theo next to me, soon some kitchen staff walked in and began serving the food and we ate it. Theo was eating well, he wasn't a picky eater ever, so he ate everything that was served without throwing a tantrum, and I was so happy for that, as for me, I liked the food, it wasn't fancy but it was simple yet good.

"This mansion serves good food" having finished our meal, Theo spoke to Blaze the first time and I was surprised at gow calmly he talked because he never did to any men around me, "Thank you" Blaze replied, "The bedroom is good too" Theo stated again, "I see You are not a picky eater" I guess Blaze noticed that.

"No, I eat anything that's edible, that's convenient for my mom this way" he smiled, looking at me, and I smiled back, "Do you love your mommy?" Blaze asked this question, and Theo and I towered over to Blaze "Yes, more than anyone." Theo answered immediately, and it made me so happy hearing that, it warms me everytime emotionally "But there's someone else who loves her more!"
