"The Witch"

*unknown pov:*

"Have you told them of our arrival."

"Ugh, yes ma'am. The young master and his friends are aware."

"Excellent. Darling , don't you think this was a good idea?"

"..."

"I mean, we're getting to see them after three long years. They must've grown up so much."

"I take it you've already visited the Van Doran' house."

"Of course honey. I had to invite them , afterall , their only son is as good as ours."

"Haah, please inform the boys of our changed schedule. It's going to be busy today."

"No no darling, let's surprise them. It'll be good to catch them unguarded, don't tell them anything yet. Understood?"

"Y-yes madam, y-yes sir.."

"Good, then let the fun, begin."

*(y/n)*

'an individual who's more powerful and more cruel than them....'

"The devil himself or what...haa, this is of no use."

I have been searching through the drawer the entire night for a clue that would help me understand who might be the person that Adrian is afraid of.

But I found absolutely nothing.

To be honest, I felt it was kinda odd. This person must know the boys well enough for them to shit it at the mention of their arrival.

The tension between every word of Luca's last night made that clear enough.

'thats right, Luca said Adrian will see me and tell me today, so let's just wait for him and I'll get to-'

A steady knock on the door made me jolt in place. I turned in the direction as the door slowly creaked opened.

"(Y/n)? Huh? Why are you standing over there by the cabinet? I thought you'd still be asleep now."

I shifted around then towards Adrian who made his own way into the room.

"I couldn't sleep , so I was walking around the room. You're here early."

He let out a sigh and joined me at the couches. I got a better look at his tired features.

'luca wasn't kidding, he looks , mortified'

"What's up with you?"

"Whatever do you mean?"

"I mean, you look like you've gotten hit by a bus."

A small chuckle escaped his lips only to curve into a smile.

"It's a long story. Shall I ask Luca to prepare your breakfast?"

"No, not yet. With the feast last night, my stomach still feels full and a little upset."

He nodded at my reply and turned his head towards the blue sky.

"The view is nice , isn't it."

He smiled , to agree.

"Are you scared?"

"Scared? Of what?"

"The person visiting today."

Adrian took a while before looking at me. And when he did , those blue eyes bore into my flesh.

I could almost feel the heat between us. I knew it was rage , a vein popping in the side of his head told me so.
