Chapter 44
CALISTA RAYMONDS
I lay down on my bed feeling extra weak and tired, it’s evening and I didn’t want to sleep cause I know if I do, I might not be able to sleep at night.
My mind drifted to what just happened on our way back and I sighed. This is like the very first time I’d see a gun and I didn’t just see the gun, I saw the gun being shoot, right at us!
And this means that even in this house, Chase must have a gun hidden somewhere.
I felt scared not because Chase is going to shoot me with the gun one day, but because I don’t know how safe I am.
My stomach grumble and I realized I haven’t eaten anything, I’m hungry. I stood up from the bed and went to change my cloth before walking of my room.
I stop and stare at Chase’s room, it was slightly opened. Normally, I’ll have been curious and walk to peep but this time?
I’m scared of Chase and I don’t think I’ll be able to talk or go out with him ever again.
I’m just a 20 years old lady, I still have a long away ahead of me and I just can’t involve myself in a dirty lifestyle that is life threatening.
I wonder why the Gotti’s family decided to just run a Mafia, a dangerous lifestyle.
And I assume it’s because of this hide and seek game that made their mother walk away from the marriage with her daughter.
She’s afraid of getting killed just because she’s married to him.
Ofcourse I believe if his enemies are to attack, they’d start with the most weakest person and Ofcourse someone that might be precious and part of the family.
I walk into the kitchen and noticed that there was no maid nearby. I assume they must have been in their quarters as it’s not yet dinner time.
Walking to the fridge, I bring out all the things I might need to prepare myself a burnt rice. That’s the only thing I’m craving and also, that’s my favorite meal.
I haven’t really eaten it since I came here as I have only eat just rice.
I bring out two cups of rice and pour it in a bowl then washed it. I was setting up the gas when I felt like someone was watching me. I turned my back but there was no one there but I still have a feeling that someone is in the kitchen with me.
I wave the thought away and focused on the meal I’m preparing.
It took me ten minutes until I’m done with the cooking, I dished out my own food and left the remaining one of the pot.
I carried the plate to the dining and drop it then walk out outside the house.
I called for Tyrell and he answered all must immediately, it’s like he’s always around the house ready to answer when he’s needed.
I smiled at him when he approached me and Ofcourse he returned the smile.
“Good Evening Tyrell. I made burnt rice and I still have some left in the pot, you wanna have some before it’s dinner time?” I asked him.
He smiled and touch my hair. “Local burnt rice?”
I nodded. “Yes”
“I haven’t had that for years and it’s like one of my local favourite meal” he told me.
I smiled, at least the leftover won’t be wasted as I’m sure that the maids will pour it in the waste bin when they see it. Obviously they’re not allowed to eat leftovers.
“Then that means Yes?” I said to him and he nodded.
“Come inside then and join me in the dining table? I’ll dish yours out” I told him.
“You go in first, I’ll finish up with washing and come in right away” he said.
I smiled at him and walk inside the house. I walk into the kitchen and dish out the remaining rice into his plate and take it to the dining table. I dropped it on the opposite and walk to sit down.
A minute later, Tyrell walked into the sitting room and sat down opposite me then bent to the food and smelt it then smiled.
“It’s been years I have this last. Where’s Chase? He isn’t eating this?” He asked me and I rolled my eyes.
“I don’t care, besides, I made this for just two, so there’s no more left even if he’s hungry”.
Tyrell smiled and didn’t say another word as he just started eating. I might not have said this earlier but Tyrell is handsome in his own way.
He have a really black hair and blue eye balls, he had an ear ring on his left ear and that makes him look even more handsome.
Just when I was about to start eating, I heard footsteps and I turned to look at the stairs and it was Chase walking down all dressed up.
As usual he was dressed in all black and I wonder if black is the only colour he knows.
Well, I rolled my eyes and start eating , I shouldn’t be made at him cause he’s used to what happened earlier but I am mad at him because he acted like it’s normal to shot.
He didn’t even apologize for putting me through such risk and I’m surprised on my self that I didn’t lost conscious after the chest pain I felt.
He just smirked at me like nothing happened. Today he’s sweet and loveable, a minute gone by and he’s back to his old self.
“Tyrell… What are you doing?” I heard his voice, since Tyrell was backing the stair way, he hadn’t seen Chase earlier.
“Uhmm” Tyrell stammered and stood up immediately making an attempt to hide the plate of rice.
I sigh and stood up too staring at Chase.
“He’s having meal with me, what’s wrong with that? I invited him in” I told him but he didn’t even look at me and acted like I’m invisible.
“Come over here Tyrell” he said and Tyrell look at me before walking away with him.
I rolled my eyes and sat back down, then start picking on my food.
Tyrell is almost done with his though. Seeing Tyrell’s reaction I wondered if the guards are not allowed to eat inside the house or what?
But Tyrell isn’t just like an ordinary guard, he’s the only one that is very close to Chase.
Minutes later, Tyrell walk back into the sitting room with Chase behind him.
But while Tyrell walk towards me, Chase just opened the front door and without a glance, he walk out of the house.
I turned my eyes to Tyrell. “What happened?” I asked him.
“You worry alot. Nothing happened, he’s just going out and might not be back for dinner.” He said.
“Oh” I mouthed and motioned on him to finish up his meal while I start eating mine. Tyrell suddenly looked up at me and asked.
“Is everything okay between you and Chase?”
I looked at him and nodded positively.
“Are you sure? You guys are acting like couples who had a fight” he smiled at me.
“Nothing happened. It’s just that when we were returning, we got attacked.” I told him.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
He dropped his spoon immediately and stood up.
“Attacked? Like, some men shot at Chase?” He asked and I nodded.
“Oh shit! He can’t leave the house.” Tyrell scream and without hesitation, he rushed out of the dining room and made his way outside.
I just sit and stared at him as I was surprised with the sudden outburst.
