I didn't even hear when Charissa came back because i cried myself to sleep. In the morning i woke up to find myself tightly wrapped in her arms with tear marks on her face. I knew she was crying because of my state but i was just fine, as long as we could be safe and she was happy then thats all that mattered. I slowly pulled myself from her and headed to the kitchen. Gladly I didn't find Mason awake..i quickly started helping Maria, one of the workers,clean as she prepares breakfast. Once everything waz ready i quickly went back to the room ,woke up Charissa then heades to take a bath.
"Morning Poppy" I nodded my head to her direction and signed it back to her which made her smile.
I quickly told her that breakfast was ready to which she agreed to taking before having her bath.As we headed down stairs i could feel my heart pounding as i was sure Mason was there.
"Morning Charissa,Morning poppy" Zane greated us as we took our seats. I was glad that Mason didn't create a scene but i guess i celebrated too soon.
"Who said you were allowed to seat, let alone join us for breakfast!"
On imstincts i quickly kneeled on the floor and held Charissa leg from under the table to prevent her from doing anything because i could literally feel the rage coming off her.
"Mason what is wrong-"Zane started but was cut off by his glare. I shook my head at him from stopping him from getting into any more trouble. I wasn't worth the trouble.
Everyone on the table continuined eating its like nothing happened while i just remained on my knees. Charissa didnt eat anything even when i tried to sign to her that i was fine.
My thoughts were interrupted by Mason getting up.
"Follow me" he said as he passed me.
I gave Charissa a sad smile as i hurriedly followed behind my doom.
Once we got inside his office he quickly shrugged off his suit jacket which i would have found attractive if i wasn't in this situation.
"So have you decided to start talking?"
I just stared blankly at him because it wasn't like i could just decide to talk. Which seemed like a bad idea especially when he threw his pen at me which i tried dodging but instead ended up cutting my cheek.I didn't even dare try to stop the bleeding but instead kneeled before him as a sign of an apology.
"Go clean your f*****g face before you ruin my carpet which you could pay even with your life."
I quickly nodded my head and rushed out. It felt like deja vu meeting with Zane and Charissa again as i ran out of the office but only this time she was not laughing but instead angry especially after seeing my face.
I was about to quickly go upstairs when i was stopped by Charissa's words to Zane.
"I will reject you if my sister continues to hurt this way. Mark my words." she then proceds to hold my hand and rush me to our room leaving me confused and Zane...well heartbroken.
