Chapter 23
Staring at the Calista from behind and seeing how peaceful and calm she is. Chase couldn’t resist to say no to her request.
If going to college is what she truly wants , then he’ll grant her that desire.
But he isn’t sure if he can protect her. What if his enemies find out there’s a new slave he’s letting out and try attacking her?
He’d make her start online class then.
He’s tired of causing pains to others. He needs to learn to protect himself and everyone around him.
Chase walk to where Calista was sitting , and went to sit on the couch opposite her.
Calista was taken aback when she saw him, but she didn’t say a word and pretended to focus on the movie whileas she wasn’t, not anymore.
Not with Chase sitting over there with his eyes on her.
“How’re you feeling?” Chase broke the silence and Calista turn to look at him.
“I’m getting better. Thank you” She calmly replied.
There’s another moment of silence, each trying to read each other’s mind.
Calista had come to notice something about Chase recently.
He was calm.
He isn’t acting like the bad boy he’s known to be, but he’s actually acting a little too calm.
Chase focused on his phone once more while Calista continued with the movie she’s watching.
It’s already night and she’s feeling a little sleepy but she wants to finish watching the movie before she goes to bed.
CALISTA RAYMONDS
I opened my eyes and realized an alarm had woken me up, I didn’t remember setting an alarm or whatever.
Tired , I stretches my body and sigh. The door of my room opened and a maid walked in.
“Good Morning ma’am” she bowed and I looked up at her, greeting her back as well.
“Breakfast is ready. Boss asks you to get ready, you’re starting school today” The maid announces.
For a second, I thought I have heard her wrong.
I have actually forgotten I talked about college with Rowan because I didn’t believe Chase will ever let me out.
But hearing the maid tell me that I’m starting college today, I was taken aback.
I couldn’t hide the excitement on my face , if it’s actually true, then Chase is not actually as bad as I might have thought he is.
Maybe he just needed help, he just needs someone to talk to him.
Without wasting time, I nodded at the maid and muttered a thank you to her while smiling and then I walk out of the bed and match to the bathroom.
Taking off my cloth, I turn the shower on and as the water fall on my skin , I couldn’t help but think how my first day at school will be.
I really need to thank Rowan, and Ofcourse I also need to thank Chase for saying yes.
Walking to my closet, I searched for the best outfit in there, but I didn’t want to dress too much, just simple but beautiful.
I walked to the mirror and arrange my hair, packing it neatly in a ponytail. Satisfied with my look, I went to search for the best boot to wear.
Actually, before I moved into this room, I noticed that the closet is already filled with beautiful wears, boots, shoes, and heels.
And I wondered how Chase or the maids knew my size in footwear and clothes.
Not to say, but my closet is filled with cloths I never dreamt of wearing in my life.
I’m pretty sure all of them must be very expensive.
Putting on a black boot , I grab my handset and walk out of the room.
Making my way downstairs, I noticed my cheeks were red and I couldn’t stop myself.
When I reached the dining room, I didn’t see Chase there and I was kinda disappointed.
I have intended to thank him and I have gathered lot of courage just for that.
“Did Chase left?” I asked one of maid I saw clearing the table.
She nodded ” Yes, he left ten minutes ago. He said a driver will drive you to school when you’re ready” she explained to me.
Smiling, I nodded.
How haven’t I realize that Chase is actually sweet?
Maybe I’ve come to believe the saying that goes ‘ behind every strong heart, there’s always a soft part ‘
I sat down and the maid poured some teas in my cup. Taking the bread out of the box, I started eating up.
When I was done, I cleared the table myself even when the maid insisted.
I walked out of the building and a man immediately approached me.
“Hey, My name is Tyrell and I’ll be taking you to school from now on. Consider me, your protector”
“Huh?” I raised my brows and stared at him .
.. protector?
“I’m Calista Raymonds, nice to meet you” he smiled and shake my hand .
He led me to a black Jeep Wrangler and opened the door for me, the driver was already in and greeted me when he see me.
When I sat down, I was kinda looking confused as I noticed how everyone was treating me like am a queen or daughter of a Rich man.
My life isn’t really going as bad as I thought it’ll be while living with Chase. These past few months, I have even forgotten that i was taken forcefully away from my parents.
Tyrell, who is actually also handsome scared me at first.
He’s well built and have this mean looking face, I won’t blame him. He’s a guard.
He has a very black coloured hair and that’s all I had noticed about him so far.
He opened the car front seat door and entered , sitting next to the driver.
I wondered why he didn’t sit in the back with me but I didn’t say a word.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
The driver ignited the car engine and drive out of the compound.
It was a fifteen minutes drive.
Tyrell isn’t actually as bad as he looks, he’s fun and had talked to me while the driver drives.
I came to realize that he’s Chase’s right hand solider and he’s been working for him for six years now.
That’s actually a long time to be with someone.
When the car stopped, I looked out of the window and was meet with a very huge building that has the tag
‘ British international school ‘
Students were all walking around and for some seconds, I suddenly lost my confidence and didn’t realize Tyrell saying my name.
How am I supposed to walk into the school as a new girl? The school looks like it belong to some special students.
Every one was looking their best especially the females and they’re all either brought by their parent in a car, or they drive the car themselves.
Swallowing the saliva in my mouth, I slowly opened the car door….
