My Mate And My Revenge

7-Unknown

Tara POV

Something dark is coming, i just can’t stop that overwhelming feeling that something bad is about to happen. My dreams have become more vivid, i’m feeling anxious and more paranoid than i was before.

Last night i was home alone and a brick was thrown into the kitchen window, with the words “you going to die b***h” apart of me knows it’s either lexi or one of kai’s crazy women he sleeps with.

I think it’s time i gave kai a call and told him that our deal is off and he should keep to his word about not harming kim. I have done enough and i think it’s time i close that door with kai.

I just want to be happy and i want to experience things other kids my age are doing, i want to make good memories. I sighed and walked into the kitchen, the window is boarded. The maintenance guy will be coming today to fix it.

Who would make such a threat? What have i ever done to anybody to deserve such vile treatment?! I grabbed a glass and poured myself some juice , just then my phone rang.

I arched my brow, i hate answering unknown numbers so i put my phone back on the counter. It rang again. Maybe it’s my parents calling from a work line , i decided to answer.

“hello” i spoke with a soft voice

“hey how are you?” a deep and husky voice spoke through the phone.

“good, may i ask whose speaking?”

“you called for your window to be repaired, i’m just calling to tell you i’ll be at your place in a few minutes” he answered

“oh yes, no worries i’ll see you soon”

The line went dead and i shrugged then took a sip of my juice the cold sweet and sour liquid soothing my thirst. Once he leaves i’ll go to kai’s place and speak to him in person about our deal.

I was just about to go to the dining area when the doorbell rang. I placed my glass on the table and went to open the door. I don’t know what i was expecting a maintenance man to look like but i sure as hell wasn’t expecting someone so attractive.

My voice hitched in my throat and my heart started beating so fast, it could pop out my chest any moment. Dark brown siren eyes met mine and they instantly locked.

He is beyond handsome. And so tall and big he could swallow me whole. My eyes went over his features and i was certain he had to be a god because no human can be this good looking. His natural tanned skin looks so soft and warm.

His wavy straight hair was so black with a little curl on his forehead. Hard angled brows and such long eyelashes and his pink plump lips look so sweet and juicy. What the f**k? I cleared my throat. And he smirked revealing his deep dimples i almost melted at the door.

“uhm i am at the right house , tara jenkins?” he questioned with his deep sexy voice

What the hell is wrong with me? I cleared my throat and tried to gather my words, but he left me speechless.

“hello”

I was pulled out of my inappropriate thoughts and finally found my voice.

“i’m sorry about that. Please come in.” i moved aside so he could enter.

Sandalwood and mint invaded my nostrils the minute he walked past me. Our skins slightly grazed and a moist liquid formed at my core. I shut the door harsher than intended.

“uhm erh please excuse me” i didn’t wait for him to say anything i ran upstairs and shut my room door. I rushed to my bathroom and splashed cold water on my face.

What is wrong with me? And why the hell did my body betray me like that. I splashed more water on my face in hopes that it will remove my dirty thoughts about the stranger in my home.

I looked in the mirror and felt ashamed of myself. I’m not that type of girl but why did i behave so shamelessly downstairs? I took deep breaths and decided to go ask if he needs anything. I put my glasses back on and looked in my mirror.

“you won’t have anymore dirty thoughts about that gorgeous man downstairs” i reassured myself then made my way to the kitchen.

I walked into the kitchen and all my reassurance went out the window.

He was f*****g shirtless. He was facing his back to me. And a dragon tattoo was on his spine with its mouth open like it’s ready to attack it’s prey.

It caught my attention it was scary and beautiful at the same time.

Then my eyes trailed to his muscles and that same feeling pooled below.He was strong and toned , his girlfriend is very lucky.

“you do know it’s rude to stare” he spoke with his back still facing me.

My cheeks heated and i know they definitely red. I got caught being a creep.

“i’m sorry i just wanted to know if you needed anything” i answered with my eyes focused on my toes

“no, i don’t” he answered bluntly and i felt even more foolish for being a weirdo.

“okay” i turned to leave but his words stopped me. I turned to face him

“ragazza sciocca”

{“silly girl”}

“i’m sorry what does that mean” i asked confused

“i said you very beautiful ” this time he looked at me.

My cheeks got more hot and i know damn well i look like a tomato.

“uhm thanks” i said with a smile.

“do you live alone” he asked while turning his attention back to fixing the window

“uhm no i live with my parents” i walked closer and stood by the counter.

“i see”

I chuckled nervously and stood there like a fool. We were both silent as he continued putting a new window and i decided to break the silence.

“so you’re italian? I asked with a smile

“yes” he gave me a simple answer but what was i expecting?

“so why a repair man? I’m sure you got offered a lot of jobs in modelling” i asked curiously and he chuckled but it was like music to my ears. Control yourself girl. I reminded myself.

“i like to fix things” he turned to face me and looked straight into my eyes.

“but i also enjoy breaking them”

I looked at him confusion smearing my features and his lips went into a tight line.

“i’m not sure what you mean” i spoke honestly.

“maybe one day you will” he said with a smile that sent shivers down my spine.

~ ~ ~

I’m on my way to kai’s place to ask if we can end the charade. I just hope he agrees so we can go our separate ways. His girlfriends are not happy and he needs to understand that.

After the repair man left i couldn’t stop thinking about him and also about what he meant by maybe one day i will. Once he was done fixing the window he was in such a hurry to leave, i didn’t even get to ask him his name.

I guess i made him feel uncomfortable so i totally understand his reaction. The car came to a stop and i took deep breaths. Alex the chauffeur came to open my door and i got out.

“thank you alex”

He only nodded in return. He doesn’t speak to me unless it’s necessary and i’m okay with that. I walked into the mansion and kai met me at the door.

“hey” i spoke with a shaky voice

“come inside” he moved out the way so i could get in

I turned to face him and calmed my nerves in the process.

“we need to talk” i spoke softly

“go ahead i’m listening” he answered rudely as usual

“is your brother home?” i questioned

He arched his brow, and looked at me like i said something weird.

“you came here to ask me if my brother is home” he asked annoyed

“no, i just don’t want him to hear what i’m about to tell you”

He folded his hands and gave me a bored look. And i sighed

“we need to break up” i didn’t know the right words to express what i was trying to say.

Anger flashed in his blue eyes

“this again, are you f*****g serious”

“i am getting death threats, it’s time to end this” i spoke louder than i intended to

He grabbed my throat and smashed me against the wall. I winced at the impact.

“kai pl-please”

“why are you in such a hurry to end this hmmm?” he sniffed me. Like literally sniffed me.

“and why the f**k do you smell like that” he questioned with anger brewing every word. He let go of my throat and fisted my hair in his hands.

“aaahhh” i screamed as his hold on my hair tightened

“i asked you a f*****g question, why the f**k do you smell like that”

I was so confused, this is how i always smell. I couldn’t understand what he meant or what he was trying to insinuate.

“like what” i asked with tears in my eyes

“like another man” his jaw clenched and he pulled my hair back to face him. He looked like he wanted to say something but he stopped and slapped me hard on my face.
