BILLIONAIRE IN THE DARK

Chapter 8: Lara

After changing my dress to something more comfortable, Stephen took me on the house tour, he wanted to postpone it till tomorrow, but I did not want to stay alone in my room at that time.

"And this is your room" Stephen said finally ending tour. There was not really much to see, but what did I expect before. Why would a useless and lazy person have anything bigger. Nevertheless, the house is really nice and cozy surpringly. But what I don't get is that he showed me around the whole house, we entered every room except Nathan's room, which I'm still shocked that we have separate room because from the rumors I've heard even though this is the only rumor people are not really sure of, that he does not stay with one woman, he is like a womanizer so I was expecting him to start kissing immediately we entered the house. But thank goodness for now, that he did not. I just hope nothing will happen this night.

“Ohhh thank you” I said peeking at Nathan’s room next door to mine a little “goodbye” I said to Stephen and opened my door to enter

“Hmmm ma’am” before he could continue, I interrupted him

“Please call me Lara. I have been saying this since the tour”

“Ohh sorry ma.. sorry L..Lara” he said struggling to call the name which made me giggle a little bit because is it so hard to call me by my name

“Anyways, your dinner would be ready soon, so it will be arranged in the dinner room. So you can come down after you freshen up a little” he said with a straight face, standing straight and like 3 feet away from me

“Ok, thanks” I said and entered my room.

Immediately I closed the door, I peeled my clothes off my body immediately and went to the bathroom. Fortunately, there is a bathtub, this is perfect because I am so tired. I filled it with hot water and entered.

Ohh this is nice.

“Ahh what happen” a knock woke me up from my sweet sleep.

Wait I slept off in the bath tub.

Another knock came.

I quickly come out of the now lukewarm water in the tub and took towels to cover both my body and hair.

"Am coming" I shouted after hearing another knock.

After my body was covered, I opened the door a little to peek out and I saw Mr. Stephen.

"Yes sir" I said with only my head poking out of the door.

"Your dinner is ready. I have been knocking since, what happened ma'am" He said still standing in his usual straight posture. And again he is not calling my name.

"I slept off. And I will be down quickly. Thanks" I said and he bowed lightly and left.

After I dressed up in my night gown, I went down stairs to the dinner room because I'm famished.

When I got there, surpirsingly Nathan was not there already.

ohhhhhhhhhhkkkkk

But luckily there is food, Spaghetti and meat balls, with some garlic bread as side and a slice of cheesecake

Wow a complete dish

I said sitting on one chair where the meals are.

That’s when I realized that the meals here are for only one person

“Mr. Stephen” I called out to him standing at the door of the room straight

“Yes ma” I said not approaching me, just standing there

“Where is Nathan’s meal. Isn’t he eating”

“Sorry but Mr. Nathan don’t eat meals in the dinner room at night” he said still standing there but now looking at me while he talk then faced to his previous view when we stopped talking

Ok that’s surprising and disappointing, I thought and hoped that we will able to at least have a proper conversation

I just ignored my thoughts and started digging in.

After a really delicious meal and a full and satisfied fill for my stomach, I went to bed, at least now I can have a proper rest.

"Ahhhhh, why cant i sleep properly" I said standing from the bed frustrated because this is like the 3rd I have woken up this night and the time is only 3am. Let me just grab something from the fridge down stairs to maybe keep myself busy.

I slowly opened my door then peek my only head out for check if there is no one at the passage and luckily there is no one.

I tiptoped out of my room hoping no one heard but I tried to close the door, it squeaked.

"f**k f**k f**k" I whispered while trying to close the squeaking door.

I just hope no one hears this.

After I closed the door, I tiptoped to the kitchen. Luckily, I made it without anyone detecting.

As I opened the kitchen's door it squeaked

Ahhh what the f**k is wrong with all the doors

The doors are making feel guilty. Is it bad to wake up at night to get a glass of orange juice and some snacks.

I said in my head while closing the door.

The kitchen was dark so I had to on my phone's flashlight, thank goodness I brought it with me.

After I had gathered all I need from the refrigerator. I tiptoped to the door again but before I could open it, I heard a noise and I immediately off my flashlight to peep through the peepole of the door, hoping no one enters the kitchen or spots me.

But what I saw confused and shocked me.

It was Nathan, in a black suit different from the one I wore at our wedding

Where did he go on our wedding night

And a guy at his back, I have not seen this guy before, at his back. They were whispering to each other.

Did he go a club?

I'm not sure, he is wearing a suit and it is not rumpled even though his beards are still tattered and unkempt.

Where did he go to?

By the time I have silenced my thoughts, I saw him and the guy upstairs now and they opened his room and closed it.

Let me not waste my time on worthless beings or reasonings. Maybe the guy is also useless partner.

I waited for some minutes before I opened the door and tiptoped to my room and luckily no one caught me.
