Padgett Eve

"Careful, Mrs. Knight." Olga shouted, once again. I have been trying to make myself a Mac & Cheese for lunch as I am the only one at home. Sebestian is out doing God knows what and Bradly is gone with him. To be honest I was tired of being warned time-to-time by Olga and every other worker. But I am trying my best to let it pass because the last time I baked a cake Sebestian scolded the whole staff for not stopping me and the time I made diiner because Olga was sick he immediately assigned another maid to help Olga in the kitchen. I have bet it all on my luck hoping he does not find this time, and I am quite positive that he will not because he was in a hurry today. It'll only be a few more minutes and then I will have my meal. I wasn't really picky over the food which was served because no matter what the dish was Olga made it the best, but today I really wanted to eat Mac & Cheese, so I requested to make it myself instead of bothering Olga, but it seems like I was bothering her more today because she was requesting every now and then for me to leave and let her do the remaining work or was busy giving me warnings to be careful.

"Mrs. Knight, now please it's just the serving I can do it, you must be really tired and you can get hurt, so please let me do it." She said coming forward in attempt to take the stove from me but I just took a step backwards making her sigh.

"Leave it, Olga." I said sternly earning a smile from all the other maids. She just stepped backwards making me smile.

Finally, after such a long time I was having my Mac & Cheese. I took a bite moaning at the taste because it was good, and I was happy after a long time. But something's still bothered me. What was Sebestian hinding in that room, what was Sebestian hiding from me that Brad and Albert are aware of, and I still didn't get the answer to my question regarding the trip. Everything in my life is a big question mark now that I am married to Sebestian. I still think that me feeling this way about him is not right and Sebestian hinself is not right for me, but then I hear a voice in my head saying that this is not wring, becaise I felt nothing like this when I was with Cole, I don't think that was right. But is any of this right, moreover, do I really have a choice to decide what's right for me and what isn't?

This is all the side-effects of bieng locked up in this insanely huge mansion by myself. I sighed to myself as I walked to the bedroom, it was 3:45 and I wished to take a nap, a sudden tiredness took over me even when I haven't done much, must be my mental exhaustion. I laid down on my bed, thinking about the day, which was not yet complete, thinking about how upset I was knowing that Sebestian wasn't the one to tell me about the trip, how Sebestian was the one forcing me into things, how Sebestian was the one hiding things from me but he expected me to open up to him and how Sebestian was the one making me feel all insane things about him. How I was the idiotic one to always give in to him, submit to him, never stand for myself, and slowly falling for him.

I just closed my eyes, sighing trying to take the nap, relax my brain and just hope for everything to be fine. And it was working as I slowly found sleep consuming me.

I woke up, after about a couple of hours later. I slowly opened my eyelids, roaming my eyes around to find nobody and the room just like it was when I slept. I sighed getting up from the bed, using my palms to straighten my hair. I made my way towards the hallways, searching for Olga becaise she was the only one I could spend my free time with, instead of getting bored. I was in the hallways of the second floor and it had been around 15 minutes I was searching for Olga.

I decided to drop the search for Olga and made my way towards the garden, I'm sire Olga will come around the garden.

I was enjoying the beautiful flowers in the garden, feeling the frass beneath ny bare feet, enjoying the beautiful colour of the sky as it was the sunset time when Olga came running to me, she was trying to catch her breath and speak at the same time which was a total chaos. I walked up to her worried and held her shoulders hoping she would calm down, but she didn't.

"Oh my god... You need to..... Mr. Knights study..... he is ...... hurry please." I couldn't really understand her but I tried my best.

"You want me to go to Sebestian's study?" I asked hoping it was what she was trying to say and she just nodded.

"Please hurry." She said making me worried as I ran to his study, I was lucky enough to reach there without getting lost.

I was in the hallway when I found a very stressed Alex, holding his temple and walking infront of the door of Sebestian's study. He noticed me and stopped walking.

"Mrs. Knight, please he needs you." He said, confusing and scaring me at the same time. I just nodded when he pointed towards the door, telling me to get in. I twisted the door knob after calming down a bit, I could feel Alex getting impatient behind me, wanting me to go in as soon as possible. I finally went inside gathering the little courage I had, but it was of no use as it shattered as soon as I came in the room.

I saw Sebestian pinning a guy to the wall, choking him by his throat, the guy was pale, his eyes were closed, he was in worst condition than Sarah. The office which was once very beautiful and neat was a mess, half of the books from the book shelf were all over the floor, the caise was broken, mixing the glass pieces with the books. Brad was also there he was stressed and serious simething in Brad I reareoy see. What scared me the most was Sebestian, he was angrier than he usually is, and his white shirt had blood, mostly covered in blood. Brad was trying his best to pull Sebestian but Sebestian wasn't bulging, his hold getting tighter each passing second. Lastly Brad managed to free the guys neck from his hold, by holding Sebestian's wrist while shouting at him. Sebestian just pushed the guy to the floor and kicked him hard on his stomach, which resulted the guy in coughing blood, which made the floor more messy than it already was. I just stood there unable to process anything, both of them didn't notice me, they were to busy cursing and shouting at each other. Sebestian was standing besides the guys body, and Bradly was oacing around him holding his temoles telling Sebestian to relax. Sebestian was fuming in anger a bit less than before, thanks to Bradly's effort, but it all went in vien as the man, mumbled something making Sebestian look down at him in anger, as he strangled the man and started punching him, I could hear a crack assuring me that Sebestian broke the poor guys jaw. Bradly was again annoyed. He walked away from him, and sighed, massaging his temple, he finally noticed me and his eyes were enough for me to tell that he wanted me to stop him.

I hesitantly made a few steps towards the raging Sebestian who was releasing his wrath on the poor boy. I stood behind him, not too close to hurt myself with the rythmic motion of his arms, but close enough to gently put my shaky palm, on his shoulder, I was careful to make my touch the lightest I could, I wanted to make sire that his injuries, if there any, weren't hurt because of me. I wasn't even sure if he felt my touch until he stopped ounching the man and looked over to his shoulder, ready to kill anyone who was daring to stop him. The look was enought to make me questiony decision. Was I signing myself a death sentence by stopping him?

He got up, towering above my small frame, holding my forearms in his grip ignoring the almost dead man he left behind. It wasn't hard for me to understand that he was more angry on me for getting inside his study.

"Who the fuck brought you hear?" He asked me calmly, but I knew better, it was the cakm before the storm, the raging storm I was going to face. He didn't wait for my reply and continued,"Alex brought you here, didn't he? That son of a-"

"I w-wanted t-to see yo-you." I said, ever so slowly, resting my hands on his biceps hoping calm him down, he just looked in my eyes and I bit my lip knowing what he was trying to do, but still I tried my best to remain confident, and not him be aware of the fact that I was lying.

"Lie" he muttered, furiously, grabbing a hold of my elbow and turning to Bradly.

"I want him in the basement, make sure he answers or I won't wait to kill him, and tell someone to clean my study." He said while walking towards the door, opening the door,only to face a worried Alex, "We'll talk later." He said regarding him bringing me here, while Alex just seemed a bit relaxed on seeing Sebestian out of the room. Without waiting for his reply Sebestian started to drag me, to what I think is our bedroom, making me scared than I already was,but I didn't miss Sebestian saying that he will kill the guy, I knew he would do it, because Sebestian clearly wasn't the one who went around throwing emptly threats. He would do it if he wanted to.

He entered our bedroom, closing the door with a loud bang and then roughly pinning me to the door. His grip on my elbows was so tight enough to hurt, no signs of tenderness. I let out a whisper as he slammed me on the door, his hands which were on my elbow were now pinning my wrists besides my head, his body was pressed onto mine. He dug his face in my neck, inhaling my scent and he had one of his knees between my legs, he was practically leaning on me, we were so close that I could feel his breath and the warmth which came from his body was comforting but the anger radiating from him wasn't. I knew I messed up, again, I shouldn't have disobyed him but I had no other option, he would have killed the poor, innocent guy. He was burying his face more deep into my neck and I just closed my eyes and tried to stabilize my breathing. I was going to say something but he beat me to it.

"Why the fuck were you in my study?" He questioned taking his head out and staring right into mine. The fear which was crawling out came back running into me.

"I w-wanted to se-see yo-you." I said pushing myself against the door, hoping I could distance myself from him or even best, the door opens up and swallows me.

"For fuck sake, Padgett! Stop.Fucking. Lying. To. Me." He said through his gritted teeth, his jaw was clenching his had this dark and dangerous he always does, he scared me more than usual. And it was all signals, they were a call for me that I shouldn't lie to Sebestian or else I'm digging myself a grave. I was visibly shaking, I was ducking my head in fear as he shouted, it was the first time he has been this angry with me. His inner demons, his anger were the ones controlling him right now. He was so much blinded by anger that, I barely doubt that he knew what he was doing. His grip on my wirsts tightened more, surely it will leave a bruise. A whimper again left my mouth, on hearing that he loosened his grip a bit, enough for me to not get hurt by that. He waited patiently for my answer, but I knew better than to further test his patience so I answered him.

"Yo-you were g-going to k-kill that i-innocent man." I said as tear rolled down my cheek. He just let out a frustrated sigh.

"It shall be none of your business to worry about who I kill and who I spare." He said angrily, nearly shouting at me.

"And what did you say? Innocent?" He said and let out a scoff.

"That fucking 'innocent man' was a bloody assasian." He shouted and left my wriat walking to the bed and sitting on the corner and holding his head which was down, while his elbows rested on his knees. And did he say, assassin? I suddenly felt a bit of guilt but just becaise he was an assasian that doesn't mean he has to die. I mean he can just be reported and spend his life in jail, or just be in jail till he has learned his lesson. He didn't have to kill him.

I walked up to Snestian with my wobbly legs and sat next to him. I took a deep breath and placed my shaky palm on his shoulder, I could feel him relax a bit.

"Sorry." I said. I accept I shouldn't be meddling in his business, though that hurt a bit. I am no one to interfere in his businness. I will be gone soon. I hope.

"No you're not. You keep on disobeying me. If you were really sorry you wouldn't disobey me again and again." He said staring into my eyes. The only thing I could hear in his voice worry. No matter how much he tried to hide it, I could still feel him worry about me. It made me have a small, subtle smile on my lips, and again that foriegn feeling in my whole body. He turned towards me and picked me up and placed me on his lap and connected his forehead with mine. He did all so easily like I weigh nothing. His forehead on mine, his arms circled around my waist, his palms caressing the back of my lower back, his breath mixed with mine, my arms circling his neck, my fingers playing with the hair at the nape of his neck, my legs wrapped around his torso. Though I tried to ignore the subtle smell of blood coming from his shirt, and avoided touching his clothes with mine, because I didn't want to be covered in blood like him, the blood on his clothes was scaring me more. As much as I tried to stay away from him because he had blood, the more he pulled me towards him so at last I stopped struggling, I gave in. He managed to give me comfort and warmth even if he wasn't in his best state. But no matter how much I try, I still can't figure one thing out right now.

If he was an assasian who was he here to kill?

"You." Came his voice.
