Chapter 28
Calista was surprised seeing Rowan there instead of Tyrell, but same time she’s happy to see him.
“You’re back?” She said and walk up to him.
Rowan smile calmly at her and touched her cheeks, Calista laughs nervously.
“Get into the car. I’ll drive you, but not home” Rowan said and Calista’s widened her eyes.
“Not home? Then where?”
“Let’s go to an eatery and have lunch? Don’t say no…” Rowan said .
“Rowan… I don’t think it’s a good idea. Chase will ..” Rowan cut her short.
“Don’t worry about Chase. C’mon, get in”
Calista nodded and got into the car, Rowan ignited the car engine and then drive out of the garage.
While driving, Rowan take the moment of silence between them to ask Calista about how she have been coping with school and how Chase treats her.
Calista felt glad that Rowan is here and at least she isn’t going home. She don’t understand why, but she doesn’t like Charlotte one bit. Confused on since when she started hating on people even without knowing them.
Maybe she doesn’t hate Charlotte, she’s just worried about who she might be or what she might have with Chase.
Appearing out of the blue all of a sudden and having Chase treat her nicely , she couldn’t stop thinking and that’s what she hates the most.
Why is she suddenly getting worked up about who comes and goes in Chase’s life.
She shouldn’t forget the fact that she’s just a slave and doesn’t have a place in Chase’s heart.
Heart?
Or maybe she’s just overthinking, Chase have also been nice to her. It’s not like he have treated her badly in anyway.
Then why couldn’t she get the thought off her mind?.
Maybe if she ask Rowan about Charlotte, she could get an answer to her question and at least stay at peace.
Rowan didn’t know how far she had gone with her thoughts until she heard the car door open. She looked up and it was Rowan opening the door for her.
She grab her backpack and then step out of the car. Rowan held her hand and they walk into the eatery.
The eatery is quite an expensive one and Calista didn’t fall to point it out.
She took the moment Rowan was talking to the waitress to admire him. Also, she doesn’t understand why Rowan is extremely nice to her.
Even when he had once been punched by his brother for speaking up for her.
He had not only been nice to her, but he had given her every reason to hold on tight. He treats her like she’s someone special, or someone who’s part of the family.
“You seem to be thinking alot, you good?” Rowan interrupts her thoughts as he led her to a chair in the corner.
She sat down and smile nervously at Rowan before muttering. “I’m good”
Rowan nodded and pull out his phone, there was silence as he dialed a phone number and place the phone on his ear.
Calista just looked away and admire the simple but expensive good looking eatery.
The waitress from earlier soon walk up to them and drop a plate containing a piece of cake on her table and then a white wine.
Calista thanked her before she walked away. She turn to Rowan who she noticed didn’t order for anything.
“When did you come back?” She asked picking up a knife and a fork to cut a slice from the cake.
“I came back at 14. Had to stay over to have a discussion with my family and I decided to meet you”
“Rowan… I really wanna thank you for talking Chase into considering my request. That was one of the least thing I expect him to accept. Thank you”
“Don’t thank me. I told you Chase isn’t as that heartless as he might look”
Calista nodded and give out a small smile then put a slice of cake in her mouth. Not sure if it’s right to ask but she’s gonna ask Rowan about Charlotte anyways .
“Rowan” She called and Rowan, who was on his phone look up to her.
“Uhmm.. you know, there’s this strange lady that suddenly appears at Chase’s house and have been all over him. I don’t mean to interfere but do you have any idea who she might be? ” She ask nervously.
“You mean Charlotte?” Rowan raised his brows.
“Yes” She nodded.
“She’s Madison’s twin sister, pretty sure you know who Madison is?”
Madison was about to reply him when she suddenly smelt a familiar cologne.
She looked up just in time to see Chase walking right towards them with his expression looking like someone who is just about to commit a murder.
“Uhmm…. Rowan?” Calista called out nervously.
No matter how close or comfortable she sometimes make herself feel, Ofcourse she can’t deny the fact that she’s scared of this man walking up to her.
Chase stopped at their table and Rowan stood up immediately to talk to him but Chase raised his index finger shutting him up.
“She should either be in school or at my house. Not flirting here with you!” Chase said with a cold voice.
Without a word, he took Calista’s hand and drag her out of the eatery. Calista looked back at Rowan and waved at him.
Rowan bent his head, feeling hurt.
As they walk back to where Chase packed his car, Calista can’t deny the fact that her heart also beats faster whenever she meets Chase.
Looking down at how he was holding her hand firmly, Calista swallowed the lump on her throat.
She’s in danger for hanging out with Rowan and instead of thinking on how to get out of it, she’s admiring this monster!?
Chase stopped at his car and push Calista slowly forward making her rest her back on the car, Chase looks at her..
“What do you think you’re doing!? Hanging out after school with some man? Just Incase you forgot and need someone to remind you…. You are Mine! And you fuckin belong to me, don’t you dare, try to mess with me. If I see you flirting with any man including any of my brothers, I’ll destroy you!” Chase yelled at her.
His voice was just so deep that scared Calista couldn’t help but burst to tears.
He is a monster!.
Chase sigh and walk around a bit before turning to her again.
“You are mine! You are my property! You fuckin belong to me!. How is that hard to understand?..!” He yelled.
Calista pushed him back taking a step away from him.
“I am not your property! I won’t have you look down on me as if I’m nothing. I didn’t do anything to you. What are you jealous?” Calista asked him with tears in her eyes.
How can this man be unresistable and yet a heartless man!.
“All you know how to do is make me feel like I’m nothing. I didn’t do you no long! My father did!. Why are you like this? Why do you have to be this Cold hearted , why are you a monster and still…..”
“Keep your mouth shut!” Chase yelled and push her to the car. Calista hit her back on the car and wince in pain.NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
She looked up at Chase who was already boiling hot.
“Are you this pathetic? You also go about hitting ladies?. I’m your slave and I know that Chase! But why can’t I also have my right? I accepted to stay with you so you won’t hurt my family. That doesn’t mean you have to make me miserable and control my life! You don’t have the right. I’m not yours!”
“That’s where you got it all wrong” Chase said to her.
“The moment you step into my den… Is the moment you become Mine! I don’t need you to agree to it. I just want you to know about it” He said, this time he wasn’t yelling but his voice is still strong.
“I fuckin hate you!” Calista yelled at him and punch his chest in tears.
