The Youngest Blade 🔪

Chapter 60 (Panicking And Gunshots)

Anastasia Rosaline Blade's POV

I didn't really sleep well yesterday.

Nightmares after nightmares were playing in my head.

Memories of John and my stepfather was running like a movie marathon.

I was terrified and didn't sleep a wink.

Once, I saw that the had sun risen, I took a long bath.

It was 5.30am.

I lazily walked downstairs, mentally cheering myself up, as I didn't have go to school today.

I ate an apple and watched some TV.

I was watching a show called the 100,it was really interesting.

At around 6 00, Ace came out from his office.

He gave me a kiss on my forehead, bidding me good morning.

He asked me how, I was feeling.

He also told me to get some rest later, apparently my face looks really tired.

Something tells me that Ace knew, I was lying about being sick but didn't say anything about it.

He made me eat 3 pancakes, which Fiona made.

He drank coffee and ate a waffle.

Ace told me that he needed to go somewhere.

He gave me a hug and told me that Elijah would be home with me today.

I held onto him, hugging him longer.

His hug made me feel comforted.

I also really wanted to know, how it was like to be hugged by my father.

Ace is probably the closest thing I have to a father.

"Are you ok little Rose?" He asked me, still hugging me.

"I'm great" I said, letting him go.

He pulled me into another hug, giving me a kiss on my forehead before leaving.

"So darling, what happened to your parents? Why are you living with just your brothers?" Fiona asked me.

I was appalled by her sudden insensitive questions.

"Uh. My parents are dead.But that was really insensitive for you to go around asking. You should really stick to your job of cooking instead of being nosy" I told her.

Wow, I was proud of myself for standing up for myself.

What Fiona asked was really rude.

I was also missing my mother dearly and felt angry at her question.

Just as I finished saying that to Fiona, Xavier came in.

"Four pancakes" He said to Fiona, before turning to me.

He talked to me in French.

"Bonjour Ana. J'ai entendu ce que tu lui as dit. Pourquoi as-tu dis cela? Qu'a-t-elle fait? Parlez-moi aussi en français. Elle ne comprend pas" Xavier said.

(Good Morning Ana. I heard what you said to her. Why did you say that? What did she do? Also, talk to me in French. She doesn't understand it)

"Elle vient de poser une question vraiment insensible. Ne t'inquiète pas. Tout va bien" I said.

(She just asked a really insensitive question. Don't worry. Everything is alright)

"You know, I can fire her right now?" Xavier said in English.
