Kelly's POV R55 vouchers Klay has been avoiding me . It has been a week since I was abducted and saved by him and it has also been a week since he talked to me . He wasn't even looking my way . I suppose it was because I showed him how scared I am around him . He couldn't blame me but I also couldn't help but to feel guilty . I was wrong for making him feel that way after he saved me . 99 With a plan of making it up to him , I went downstairs one afternoon to cook for him . The maid looked shocked after seeing me in the kitchen . She's been sending me meals , everyday for the past few days , in my bedroom . I have recovered from that nightmare so there's no reason for me to lock myself in my room anymore . " I'll do the cooking today , Ana . " " But , Miss ... " I smiled and walked towards the counter . " I wanna cook for Klay ." She immediately bowed her head and took a step back , giving me access to the kitchen counter . I smiled at her and asked her to chop some ingredients while I prepare the meat and other necessity for cooking . " Miss Kelly ... " " Hmm ? " " Did you know that Miss Emily has been staying in the guest room ? " I paused because of what Ana said . I slowly lifted my face and looked at her , " Emily ? " " That woman , Miss Kelly . I think she's Sir Klay's girlfriend . I don't like her . " Emily ... The woman I saw waiting on the couch on the day I was discharged from the hospital . " What was she like ? " I asked Ana curiously . " She's bossy , Miss Kelly . She's also very clingy to Sir Klay even when Sir Klay hates it ." This is my father's house but he brought his slut here and made her stay here ? He didn't even inform me . What kind of step brother , is he ? After cooking , I prepared the dining table while Ana helped me . It was exactly 7PM when Klay entered the kitchen . He paused after seeing me standing beside the dining table . Even when I'm pissed because he's letting Emily stay here , I gave him a sweet smile . " I cooked and prepared the dinner , " I said as I looked him in the eyes . He glanced at Ana , who immediately averted her gaze , before he looked at me again . He slowly walked 1/4 14:42 Wed , Sep 3 Chapter 43 65 voushiy towards me and crazy as it may sound but I felt my heart starting to beat fast . I sucked my breath and held it in when I thought he's gonna do something like touching me or what but he didn't . Instead , he walked past me without a word . My lips parted . Irritation filled me as I turned around and followed his movement . He opened the refrigerator and just when I'm about to growl at him for ignoring me , he walked back towards me and put the pitcher of cold water on the dining table . He looked me in the eyes as he clenched his jaws . " I know I'm an evil man who doesn't have any hope left in me . But I don't need your sympathy , Kelly ." My jaws dropped because of what he said . " What are you talking about ? I just cooked dinner for us . I didn't say anything . " He didn't take his eyes off of me . His eyes remained dark and cold , shocking me even more . " I've been alone ever since my mother died . I can cook for myself and feed myself , Kelly . Besides , while you were busy dating your prince charming , I was fighting for my own life in the underground . We basically belong to two different worlds . " I laughed sarcastically , restraining my anger . " Look ... I didn't do this because of sympathy or whatever . I did this because I want to apologize and also to thank you for saving me- " " There's no reason to thank me . It's my job to protect you ." I shook my head in disbelief . " I don't know what you're saying . I have no other intention but to cook dinner for you . If you don't appreciate it , you can just tell it straight to my face . No need to say unnecessary things . You didn't even ask for my permission if you can let that woman stay here ." " Is she bothering you ? " He asked coldly . My forehead creased . " She's not , right ? I'm also living here , Kelly . I have the right to invite whoever I want to invite . I also have rules in this house . I don't need your approval on things that don't concern you . " My lips parted . I couldn't say anything anymore because aside from the fact that I'm speechless with what he said , he also turned his back and walked away . I gritted my teeth when I heard him calling his woman's name . I angrily sat on the chair and looked at the food I cooked . He didn't even look at the food or taste it . He's so freaking heartless and cold . I hate him ! " M - Miss Kelly ... " My forehead creased when I realized he's about to leave with his woman . I angrily pulled myself up marched out of the dining hall . " I'm moving out soon , " I said right after he stepped out of the door . and He paused while his woman glanced at me before she left . I gritted my teeth . What should I expect ? He's a man after all . He only wants to please himself . 2/4 14:42 Wed , Sep 3 Chapter 43 " I'm going to move out and you can't do anything about it because I rule my life too . " 1255 4000 Slowly , he faced me . The coldness in his eyes hasn't disappeared . He stared at me and spoke ... " No. How can I protect you if you want to leave this house ? " I laughed sarcastically , " I'm not asking for your opinion , Klay . I will leave this house and you can't stop me- " Why won't you listen to me , Kelly ? I can't let you live on your own because it's dangerous for you outside . I'm risking my own life to save you and you want to put yourself in danger ? " " I didn't tell you to protect me ! " " But I want to because you're important to me ! " I balled my fists as I stared into his cold eyes . " You can't stop me now , Klay . You know that I don't like being controlled- " " I SAID IT'S DANGEROUS OUTSIDE- " " BEING AROUND YOU IS ALREADY A DANGER . WHAT DIFFERENCE WOULD IT MAKE ? " I shouted back . I don't know why I chose those words but I don't have plans to take it back . He stared at me with a blank face . He seemed hurt and disappointed but I don't care . I want to leave this house and he can never stop me . " You said it yourself . We belong to different worlds . My world is not here , Klay . My world is outside yours . I can survive here but I won't be happy , " I paused and shook my head . " You can't just manipulate me like this . " I thought he's finally getting my point but I was wrong . He slowly shook his head and stared at me with a darkened expression . He looked angry now . " You better do as you're told or you will regret it . I already have a lot on my plate , Kelly . Don't cause any more trouble . " Anger overpowered me . I can't believe he still has the guts to say those words to me even after everything I said . I gave him my reason for wanting to leave but he's still too cold hearted . He turned his back on me and was about to leave but I grabbed the nearest vase and threw it on the door . It almost hit him but he didn't even flinch . He paused by the door and slowly looked at the broken vase scattered on the floor . " I understand that you're trying to protect me but if protecting me means caging me in this miserable life ... then I'm better off dead .
