Sophie pov

I can't still believe that jobe will kill them. How could he.

This is all my fault.

If I didn't involve them into this shit, they would still be alive.

I was walking around the house with no direction. I've being crying ever since I met jobe this, morning.

Mistakenly I tripped on a small rock and fell down.

My legs hurt me badly

I couldn't stand up and I didn't want to stand up

Jobe pov.

Where the hell is she going to, I thought. She's being perambulating for the past 3 hours. no matter how unaffected I looked, I didn't like her face and mood like that so I figured out she's a crazy girl and I should keep my eyes on her for a while

Suddenly she tripped on a rock that she didn't see and fell down. She didn't get up. she just looked ate blank space in front of her. I felt the pain on my legs because of the potion I drank

I decided to walk towards her and talk to her because she was scaring me.

"why are you on the floor" I asked her and she acted as if there was no one there.

She ignored me

"I'm talking to you" I said again but she didn't bulge.

"I just wanted to tell you that I didn't kill your maids." I said and she looked at me immediately

"they're locked up and would be released tomorrow" I added and she replied dryly

"am I suppose thank you now?" she dryly replied.

" I just want you to know that leaving me is not an option." I told her still sitting on the floor. She got up and looked at me with intense eye contact. Her eyes were swollen and red because she has been crying, but she still looked as ravishing as ever. My eyes went down to her lips and I suddenly had the urge to kiss the life out of her.

I looked her brown eyes again and she smirked .... At me?!!!!

"leaving you is a necessity" she replied.

I couldn't take it anymore.

I crashed my lips into hers. She was shocked and didn't respond to me but I didn't leave her. Her scent was heavenly. She tried fighting back but I was too strong.

She slowly gave in and I could feel her lips move.

The softness of her lips made me want her more. She slowly opened up and immediately she pushed me away.

She was out of breath walked away from me.

Sophie pov

I dashed into my room and shut the door. I was so mad right now,

At myself.

Why did I respond to him like that?

I'm so embarrassed right now.

I touched my lips with my fingers. He had this woody and citrus scent.

What am I thinking about right now?

Arghhh!!

I slipped into my bed.

Wait?? He said he didn't kill Bernice and Benita. I'm so relived. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself. but why does it feel I'm forgetting someone. but who?

Melanin!!

What happened to her

The way everything went I doubt if jobe knows that she helped me

She must have hidden herself very well.

How will I even face him now...

The next day

I was ready as early as 7hours after midnight. I was really excited to see Bernice and Benita. I waited patiently at the sitting room of my chambers. But no one brought them to me

I was tempted to go outside but crossing paths with jobe was the one thing I didn't want at all

I waited and waited but no Bernice and Benita

I couldn't wait anymore...

I walked out of my chambers to meet lord jobe in his study

I knocked and Lucas opened the door. He had a shocked look in his eyes.

"is lord jobe in here" I asked

He coughed and smiled and reply

"yes he is" he said and open the door wide for me to enter.

I walked into the study. It was like it was renovated and I couldn't see his table but a lot of shelfs which I've never seen.

We walked and climbed a staircase before I saw him and his table. Was this the right room or I'm never noticed how big it was.

His hair was messy as usual and he still looked... focus!!!!!

I snapped myself out of it

"to what do I owe this visit to Sophie, Lucas leave us" he said to us

I waited for Lucas to leave then I said

"where's Benita and Bernice?"

"who??" he asked as if he didn't have a clue

"my maids in the dungeon" I replied

"is that the only reason you came here?" he asked as he closed the book he was writing on looking at me with those eyes of his

"what other reason will I be here for, oh right, your apology" I said. That was pretty smooth I thought

"for" he said and sat back patiently waiting for my reply

"you know, umm, forcing me to kiss you" I replied and I could feel my face getting hot

"you actually responded very well for a kiss I forced on you Sophie" he with this annoying facial expression. Why did I bring this up?

"I pushed you" I added

"after realizing if you didn't we would have gone further right?

Correct me if I'm wrong" he said as he got up. And walked towards me. I walked backwards and he walked towards me .

I stopped because of the wall behind me and he came so close

" stop where you are" I said but he didn't. he stopped when we were like an inch away from each other.

He precipitously hugged me.

I didn't move because I was shocked.

"What are you doing" I asked with the weirdest voice ive heard of mine

"just stay like this for a moment" he said holding me tighter.

His scent was so unique

"you smell like roses Sophie" he said and I could feel my cheeks get hot.

"lord job..." I wanted to say something before he cut me off by saying

"right now

You're the most important person, woman and thing right now

And I'll never let you go"
