CHAPTER 9

Elena's POV

I reached for the medicine on the table, the doctor had left and he instructed to lay back in bed for the whole day because there was nothing to worry about, maybe he didn't understand when I told him I had 6 months to live and a year if Miracle would happen.

I took two pills and placed it on my tongue, pushing it down with a glass of water, if I had my way, I would have ended it all today but deep down, I knew I still had to stay alive.

I heard his car pull in, the pain had gone down a bit and I could walk, so I stood up from my bed and made my way downstairs.

"Jamil" I called his name, he stopped to look at me.

"I'm really sorry about the coffee, I followed everything the housekeeper did, I don't know why I still messed it up, I'm really sorry." I apologized.

"It's fine." He said and a lady she came out behind him, she walked upstairs to his room like she had been here too many times.

"Did the doctor come?" He asked.

"Yes, he did. He also dropped some medications for me, I feel a lot better,thank you."

He nodded and walk upstairs, I sat down in the dining room expecting a loud music or loud moaning but I didn't hear any, maybe they were showering together.

"That's not my name." The girl yelled and back downstairs,clothes open with her shoes in her hands.

What was happening?

He came out few minutes later as the lady started putting her clothes on.

"I thought you said you loved me, you'll bring me home and make me feel loved, I suspected that you were up to no good,our dealings were always transactional but you suddenly started using those words on me, I knew something was wrong."

She turned to look at me "better leave for your own good, he has nothing to give you, he'll make you feel loved one minute and the next his putting his fingers in our vagina and calling you someone else's name, his ex's name. Asshole."

I say down there in confusion, watching the drama unfolding in front of me.

"Here." He said throwing her a wad of cash, she picked it up and walked out the house while he went back upstairs.

I stood up and brought out a bottle of water from the fridge, a lot of things were happening at once and I needed to calm myself down.

Why would he fight with his women with me in the house? What if she was dangerous? The more I thought about it the more I realized I wasn't safe here, his lifestyle would eventually kill me before the sickness gets me.

I walked up to his room door and placed my head on the the door, there was no sound, I didn't see him leave so he was definitely in there.

"Jamil." I called out while knocking on his door.

He opened and stood there in bare chested, his biceps pointing out at me, my eyes lingered more than I had planned to.

"Anything?" He asked looking right into my eyes, making it hard for me to find the right word.

"Uhmm.. well.. I wanted to talk about the girls that come here if you don't mind." I stammered.

"What about them?" He asked opening the door for me to come in as he walked away to sit on his bed.

The way his back moved with every stride he took, made my mouth water.

"Well, with what happened tonight, I don't think I am safe here anymore. What id that girl had harmed me? I don't want to be in a situation to face your girls anymore."

"So what do you want?" He asked not taking his eyes off me.

"I want to leave the house often, when do I start working? Your dad promised I would start immediately I sign the contract but we've already had the wedding and nothing has changed."

"Well, I Remy him telling you that we would have to clear the space for you, you came at a time when we had already settled our recruitment process for the year, but I can assure you that you'll start as soon as possible."

"How long will it take?" I asked.

"A week."

"So I'll still have to see the drama going on between you and your girls for a week? The world saw me getting married to you and e even if it's fake, I deserve some respect and my safety should be guaranteed at all time, maybe you want us to go over the cont–"

"What do you want me to do then?" He asked cutting me off.

"I want heads up whenever you're bringing those girls over, it's not like I'm asking you to take permission from me but I should know beforehand so I can lock myself in my room and put everything I need there."

"Okay, I'll let you know."

That was pretty fast, I was expecting him to throw a fit and order me out of his room, that was the Energy he always gave but right now, he was chilled.

His hands were on his, he looked at me like he was going to send me out of his room, I was in his room after all, this late, disturbing his privacy.

Talking about his room, it dawned on me that this was actually the first time I had stayed in here for long, this time, his lights were on and I could see the interior of the room, I had expected his room to be scattered for weird reasons or because of the absence of the housekeeper but it was neatly arranged, my room would bow in embarrassment at the sight of his.

"Anything else?" He asked standing up to probably lock the door when I was out.

"No nothing, I'll leave now." I said turning to leave.

He followed behind me, I tried opening the door but didn't know how to, he reached from behind to open the door.

The sudden feel of his breathe on my neck made me turn abruptly, slamming my back against the door.

We maintained eye contact for a minute, his left hand steadying me as he looked into my eyes, his breathe sending trails of shivers down my body.

"How much will it Cost me to have you here Elena?" He whispered.

I froze.
