Escaping Reality.

Chapter eighteen

Regina's pov

Days passed so fast since we settled in the new house. I seldom see Gwen these days , perks of being a doctor.

Blue seemed too busy too . He goes out early, even before I wake up ,same with Gwen. They leave me alone in this big house. Not that I'm complaining though, I also had classes in the morning and sometimes in the afternoon , Cole always gave me a ride but unfortunately I never run into Blue.

I usually make good use of my free time , trying new recipe for different food . It was fun but with no one to try your cooking, it gets frustrating . What's the use of hiring a cook when you don't eat a three course meal .

Today, I don't know if they'd come home early or not but I don't really care anymore. If they don't come home early for dinner I'll just finish all the food myself.

With a satisfied smirk, I packed my brown messy hair with a rubber band. I plan to make some Korean dish I saw online.

At 6 , I set up the food on the dining table and I sat down , clasping my hands together to pray.

" Dear God , I thank you for this wonderful meal you brought my way . I pray you help me fulfill my dreams. "

Immediately I opened my eyes, I almost fell off my seat.

There , a brown eye human and another blue eye human is siting right before me . They seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

" What is wrong you you guys! Are you trying to give me an heart attack! " I bursted at them while they were just laughing at my expression.

" Is this funny? " I asked bewildered because they really scared the s**t out of me !

" It is. " Blue said smiling, finally cutting off his laughter . I glared at him.

" Hmm , what did you make ? " Gwen asked staring at my food.

" Hey! Don't stare at my food. I bet you had eaten out " I told him drawing my bowl of black noodles closer to me.

" I didn't , really. " He replied , his hair bounce sightly . " Besides, you are paid to cook "

" Oh , really! I thought I was paid to warm the house. " I replied with sarcasm .

" You have the house to yourself. You don't like it? " Blue asked tilting his head slightly.

He caught me off guard. I never thought of it that way ' I have the house all to myself? ' . Not like I own the house .

I smiled at his teasing words .

" What are you saying? " Gwen grumbled out .I eyed him before going to dish their food.

" What's this " Gwen asked curiously as soon as the bowl was place in front of him .

" It's a Korean dish called jajamyeon . " I said seriously.

" Ja—what " Gwen asked dumbly .

" Black bean sauce noodles. I was checking the fridge today and I found the ingredients. Korean food are so nice . So I just decided make this one ." I told him .

" Really? I'd surely never miss dinner again " he said and I laughed. He gets easily hooked with food.

" So... it's just noodles" Blue said shattering my moments.

Just noodles ! Excuse me , I put potatoes, pork , cabbage, cucumbers , and so on in it .

" Hey ! What do you mean by just noodles ? " I asked annoyed .

" It's just some instant noodles covered with black sauce. What's the fuse all about ? " Blue muttered turning the food with his fork .

" If you don't want to eat it , I'll just make some plain noodles for you " I replied through gritted teeth as I moved to grab the the bowl .

It's so obvious that his nasty side was on today.

" Forget it. I'll just eat it" he said grabbing my hand tightly. I gasped at the contact.

I tried pulled my hand away but I was surprised he held on with an iron grip . His palm was very warm and wide since it covered hand , almost hiding it in his palm.

" You won't say that when you taste it " Gwen said . Thankfully, he buried his face in his meal , smiling .

After a few moments of pulling, I successfully jerked my hand from Blue's grip . Glaring at him , he smirked playfully.

I focused on my food, taking giant bites to ease my emotions.

....

The next day, was not much different than the past few days.

I woke up by seven and I found Gwen and Blue gone . It was not surprising anymore, it seemed like they always have early morning businesses and they are not used to eating breakfast .

Waking up in a big house with no one around made me feel somewhat comfortable. I strolled through the house thinking it is definitely an exercise. The grey designs on the walls was simply elegant . There were frame pictures of inspirational quotes that hung boldly on the walls.

"Facing mistakes and failure is a rebirth"

This one captured my attention for a good while.

I wondered if Blue or Gwen ever face failure or mistakes . Their life seemed pretty perfect but me , I am so good at making mistakes, the Wilson family was one of them . All my efforts failed constantly that I almost thought I was getting dumber by the day . Living in the Wilson family was exhausting and depressing and I never thought I could see through it . The life I am living now is a rebirth and I will cherish every moment of it .

I had breakfast and went to upstairs to prepare for school. On getting down, I saw Cole and one of the guard ushering some people with cleaning tools in .

Oh , so they clean the house while everyone is out , no wonder the house was always clean. I walked towards Cole greeting him , he smiled and gestured that we should leave.

" Good morning boss " A woman said to me and I paused pointing at myself in question . The woman walked up to me .

" I'm sorry for taking your time Miss Regina, I just wanted to thank you for the generous pay you gave us on this job. Thank you ." She bowed slightly and I was looking as shocked as I should be .

How did she even know my name?

I wanted to tell her that I was not the owner of the house but Cole cuts in .

" Miss Regina, let's go" he said with a serious expression as he hadn't heard how the woman address and I followed him out in my confused state .

When we got into the car , I couldn't wait to ask.

" What's with that woman? How did she know my name? " I asked him.

" I was just following mater's order " he replied.

Master? Blue.

" What! Why ? I own the house? " I asked him although I already got the idea that he doesn't want people to know the real owner of the house. It was simply dangerous.

" I can't figure out what he's thinking. You should ask him yourself " Cole replied.

I looked out of the window lost in thoughts . Seeing that we getting closer to the school, I asked him to drop me off at a distance.

I walked into the school gate without a hoodie or a face cap like I did in the past . My hair was tied in a high ponytail , bouncing at every turn .

I slowed down when I saw four girls standing in my way, Wendy's lackeys . I resisted the urge to ask them to move away and I tried to go around them . To my surprise , they still moved to block my way .

" It's too early to cause trouble , move aside. " I told them clutching my bag . I took time to look into the eyes of each one of them . Hoping to convey a ' don't mess with me ' look . I heard that your eyes speaks louder than you voice.

Bella , Clara , Mirabel and Chloe , that's their names . I could never forget them , since we went to the same high school.

" Hey , who do you think you're ordering around" Bella said giving me an evil smirk.

Well ,they still think I'm the adopted daughter of Wilson family .

" You're not even part of any family yet you still have the courage to order us around after you almost killed Wendy " Mirabel buttressed and I sighed.

What lies have Wendy been feeding this girls with?

" Oh , I did ? I didn't realize it sooner. I think you should be scared too and try as much as possible to stay out of my lane before I hurt you too ." I told them. They look furious, they seemed not to have anticipated that I would admit hurting someone.

" You... you are so shameless ! " Clara screamed angrily. Some students were gathered around us , watching the show and whispering to themselves.

" Yes . I know I'm shameless and believe it when they tell you I'm a bad person. Can I go to my class now? " I asked them. Their faces turned red with anger . They came to fight for their friend but ended up gaining nothing. They are not even worth my anger .

" You guys are so boring " I muttered to their hearing when Bella's hand suddenly flew towards my face. I caught it easily, gripping her hand tight as she yelped in pain .

Everyone gasped in surprise. I have always been strong, I just had to bear their bullying in highschool to protect the Wilson family reputation , but now I won't.

" Seriously, what has your family been feeding you with , how come you are so weak? " I asked shaking her hand effortlessly . The students watched us with amazement.

I let go of her arm when I saw her brows twisting painfully. Sure enough, there was a red print of my hands on her skin . I pressed my lips together. What if her family came to cause trouble for me in future ?

' Regina you should avoid troubles in school ' I mentally told myself.

I watched Bella who was holding her arm in pain and I glanced at her for a while before walking away.

I had barely taken three steps before an egg hit my head and burst open on my clothes . Yuck !!!

I turned to see Clara holding a crate of eggs, smirking. I didn't have time to recover from my shock before she continued throwing more at me while her friends joined her . They really came prepared.

I raised my hands to protect my face from the assault . I closed my eyes bracing myself for the pain to come yet it never came. I felt someone arms wrapped around me tightly , shielding me from the eggs . I slowly opened my eyes to peek at my saviour, only to find a pair of blue eyes staring down at me .
