Untamed

Broken Pieces

Mitchelle's POV

"I am famished and my effort cannot go to waste," I said and ran off with the plate to my room. Immediately I got to my room I locked the door panting heavily. How the hell did he try to dispose of the food I made with my sweat? "Rubbish!" I yelled and sat down on the bed to eat my food. I ate the pancake and orange juice I carried along while coming to this hell hole of a place. Surprisingly Darren did not yell my name nor did he chase after me. After resting for a while I decided to call my best friend, Ashley. I searched around trying to recall where I kept my phone.

Oh jeez… I left my phone on the counter in the kitchen. OMG, what am I going to do, I thought for a while. I can’t just sit here doing nothing all because I am scared of Darren's reaction. I sat down for a few minutes and decided to go downstairs, I could at least try to dodge so he wouldn’t get to see me. I tiptoed to the kitchen searching for my phone but couldn’t find it. I became confused, wondering where I left the phone. I turned around to go back into my room when I hit a manly figure. I raised my head to see his face. he had a huge frown on his face.

"Is this what you are looking for?" he asked raising my phone. I looked at my phone in his right hand and stretched to get it from him. "Don’t you dare?" he said in a commanding tone. I moved back bowing my head to the ground. "Go over to the sitting room and wait for me there," he said and left the kitchen. I quietly went to the sitting room waiting for him patiently. After about thirty minutes he came outside with my phone in his hands looked at me sternly and asked me to stand up.

I stood up with my legs shaking like I was about to fall. Darren has an unexplained aura, whenever he talks his words come out in a demanding tone, and his attitude scares everyone around him.

He sat opposite me while I stood up bowing my head.

"I have warned you to stay off my path, didn’t I? This will be the last time I will say this to you, and I will be giving you rules guiding your stay in this house, if for any reason you break any of these rules, be ready to face the consequences.

* You are not allowed to go close to anything that belongs to me

* Do not go out without my permission as you could be subjected to public attention.

*Never come close to me except when I ask you to.

*Lastly, the contract ends within two years, therefore within this period, you are not allowed to be seen publicly with the opposite s*x.

I gasped at the rules he had just given, I raised my head to look at him.

How can someone with this blunt and cold-hearted?

"Am I understood?" he asked coldly

"Ye.. Yes," I replied.

I took a deep breath and sluggishly went back to my room.

A few minutes later I heard voices of three people yelling at each other.

"Darren calm down," I heard a male voice call out.

"I said You should get these idiots out of my house," Darren yelled.

"What More do you want to hear from me, I said I am sorry" a lady yelled.

Curiosity took the better part of me, I had to go outside to see what was going on. I stood by the corner peeping through the curtains to avoid getting caught by Darren. I don’t want to get in trouble with him again.

A beautiful-looking lady stood in front of Darren alongside a guy who was trying to calm Darren down but he wasn’t listening.

"So what do you want me to do?? Forgive you and accept you back?? You must be sick“ Darren yelled

"I caught you sleeping with a random guy, you begged and I forgave you. As if that wasn’t enough, you went around sleeping with my employee and then you also slept with my best friend and you dare to ask for forgiveness? You disgust me. Now get the hell out of my house," Darren yelled at her.

The lady didn’t seem to listen to him and he was forced to drag out of the house. I stood in shock at what I just heard, how could he forgive such actions from a person, the lady must have slept with other guys he wasn’t aware of.

Could this be the reason Darren is so cold-hearted??

The other guy who I presumed to be Darren’s friend drew him closer and hugged him like a father would do to his child. At this point, Darren Became calm and embraced the guy like he was about to be kidn*pped.

"She’s not worth the stress," the guy told Darren.

I had forgotten I was supposed to be hiding from Darren, I mistakenly hit my legs on the wall and yelled in pain.

"Who is that?" Darren yelled

I knew I was in big trouble. How did I forget that I was supposed to be hiding? I kept mute. It’s barely one hour I was given rules and regulations and I have broken one already. I thought of running back to my room but Darren will see me.

I heard footsteps coming towards my direction, I decided to move back a little and then I missed a step and fell right on my butt. I yelled in pain.

Darren stood angrily in front of his friend. "What are you doing here??" He asked

I couldn’t answer him, my eyes were filled with tears.

"Were you eavesdropping on my conversation??" He asked moving closer to me.

I still couldn’t answer his question. He then dragged me up to the sitting room like I was a piece of rag.

He threw me on the couch and started yelling.

I sat down there in fear.

Before I realized what was going on Darren picked up the centre table and broke it into pieces.

I curled myself on the couch in fear. He picked up the flower vase and broke it. His friend ran towards him and hugged him tightly trying to calm him down like the first time.

I immediately stood up and ran off to my room.
