Chapter 8
328 Words
Earlier, Maddison was terrified at the events which unfolded before her eyes. She remembered screaming for Sebastian to stop hurting the maid because it was her fault. Devita was innocent but Sebastian was livid with anger!
“Are you alright?” He asked after sending Devita away.
“Was that even necessary? I want to go home,” she said.
“Do you think I want you here? You’re not one of us, woman!” Sebastian yelled at the woman for being selfish. He put his life on the line when she called for help and she’s being ungrateful!
“I have a name!” She shouted when Sebastian kept referring to her as a woman.
“Oh, you have? Then say it,” he challenged the stranger he had the misfortune to meet.
“It’s Maddison Ryan,” she replied. “Can I ask you a question, Sebastian?”
Sebastian was furious but every time she called him with his first name, his anger would vanish into thin air, and he hated himself for being affected by her presence. Maddison has something mysterious about her. Perhaps, it was the fact that she’s the only person who summoned him outside the cursed Kingdom of Bexwell. Or was it her glittering blue eyes and the freckles that spread delightfully across her cheeks?
“Maddison,” he tried saying her name and like the sound of it coming from his mouth. “You can’t call me Sebastian when there are other people around us,” he informed her.
“Why the hell I can’t? Did you lie about your name?” She inquired with a clenched jaw and she couldn’t pinpoint the reason why being lied to was a big deal to her.
“Let’s talk again later. Go to sleep now,” he ordered and cast a spell for the woman to be drowsy.
A minute ago, she was worked up to find out everything about Sebastian Clarke, and then she had a hard time opening her eyes. When he assisted her in the massive bed, she didn’t object. “Sebastian…,” she whispered his name before losing herself into the oblivion of sleep.
