Chapter 6 Cutting Connection with the Outside World-1

Chapter 5

*Cutting connections with the outside world-1*

Jeremy made her wait in the living room while he went to call Noah... He went to Noah's room, knocking on the door once and the door opened unexpectedly, he almost fell on his face, Noah was standing behind it.

"What is it, Jeremy?" he smiled weirdly that had Jeremy flinch from his spot like he was going to be eaten, He arranged his suit properly, one of these days, Noah was going to kill him.

"Uhmm... Boss, the girl is-"

"You're a minute late. what were you doing checking her out, huh?" The boy was mute, that girl wasn't his type, he'd prefer famous models, the ones he'd always admire in some of the magazines he kept in his room.

"Go quickly, she must be drinking in the beauty of my mansion now. keep her company, will you," he instructed.

The young vampire left the room. His Boss was a strange man, and being in the same room with him was like a real mission he had to put effort in. he always knew what news there was but yet he wanted him to report to him.

When he got down, he dropped the papers in front of her and went to the sculptured pillars by the side of the room, which held a vase, he was busying himself with the marbles in the vase, supposedly keeping her company as Noah had said.

She stared at the contract paper nervously, chewing her inside gum without saying a word, it was still the same as the last time she had rejected it, nothing altered. once she was done looking at them, she squeezed herself at the end of the chair, checking out the house, from the chandelier to the paintings on some part of the walls and then

trying not to look so much and sound stupid, the man was taking so long, but he'll be here soon, Jeremy assured her.

As soon as Noah walked down the steps, the whole air changed, he held a cigarette between his lips. His hands were buried in his pockets and he was not afraid of staring directly into her eyes which made her feel more awkward, she broke eye contact, keeping her gaze to herself.

He came to sit on the most beautiful and reserved couch in the hall, while Jeremy rushed to him with a tray that had a packet of cigarettes in it and a plate with burnt out cigarettes.

She was feeling idle and not wanting to strike a conversation with him, she stared at the contract papers, though the words were boldly written and she had seen this same content before, and unchanged, she could not stop looking at them.

His pair of grey eyes never left her, he was seated opposite her, making her uneasy. she wondered why he was staring so much, it made her feel heated. he noticed the way she shifted her position and then he gave her an encouraging smile.

"Take your time princess, make sure you check If you agree with every single request of mine," he said as he lit another cigarette, taking a quick draw before letting the smoke out between his lips and letting the smell feel the air. this was the third he had lit in how many minutes, he was a fast burner and it seemed like he was addicted to them. she shook her head quickly, now was the time to make an important decision of her life and not let thoughts of how many cigarettes he had in some minutes crowd her head.

"Go on dear, sign it." he urged her with a wide smile. She finally made her decision, picking the pen and putting her signature on the contract. but his face did not look concurring. Noah turned to Jeremy, and he did not need to be told, he walked out of sight, leaving just the both of them.

"You're so naive," he commented. Noah got up from his seat, strolling to her, he did not have the same smile as before. She was getting uncomfortable the way he moved closer to her, she imagined him to be a demon. She adjusted herself on the couch properly, clutching her purse, her mind was giving random ideas of how to escape if he decided to do something bad to her. she was looking to shove the sharp edge of the purse in his eye.

Seeing he was so close now, Jasmine tried to stand up from the chair, but he pressed her on it, His breathing landed on her ear, it was enthralling, she has never been close to any man in this way before now, it was incredible to see a grown-up man breathing so peacefully like he was asleep.

"Where do you think you're going to, Ms. Ricot?" he asked, his question going directly in her ear.

"I- I..."

"You did not leave your signature on the papers as I wanted," she knitted her brows in confusion, she did that a minute ago. she was going to tell him that but his finger suddenly press her thumb, causing her to feel a sharp pain, she winced in pain but he did not let her go until red liquid poured out from her thumb.

He drew her hand in front of him while she stared at him quietly. Noah brought the paper closer and pressed her thumb on it. once he removed it, he smiled at the paper, "Ah, that's better Ms. Ricot."

She looked at her red thumb with a question, "Why did you cut my finger?"

"Because flower girl, this here..." he said, breaking the pen into two halves, "It's nonsense. where I come from, a real agreement is made with blood," he explained. she did not like what he did, this weirdo she cursed inwardly. her finger was itching so she licked off the blood from her thumb, soothing the pain. Noah copied her and licked the red stain on his fingers, shutting his eyes to relish the taste, it was refreshing. he also felt the urge to help her clean the existing blood from her finger with his tongue.

He wanted more, but he could not have her, she was not a meal. for long, he has not gotten a sufficient amount of human blood, he only drank blood from his kind and those boring Bunnies Jeremy reared at the back of the Mansion. as much as he wanted to chase and hunt down his meal, those hopeless things had no strength for a race, they were just overfed weak little Bunnies.

"You smell good, Ms. Ricot." he complimented, tasting his fingers again.

"I'll leave Jeremy to explain the rules to you. Jeremy!" he called. the boy appeared from one of the doors, it was almost as if he was waiting for his name. he went away, leaving the both of them.

"I'll show you to your room and we will send someone to get the things you need from your home by morning. is that ok with you?" she nods her head slowly. she had no home already, Janet made it clear that she did not want to see her face around the house.

she followed behind him while he read out some of the house rules to her.

"Your room is downstairs, my boss is so considerate, he doesn't want your walking down the stairs to be a problem for you when you turn heavy. so you have no business on the first and second floors. If you have anything you might need, you'll have to send me a message on your phone. you are not allowed to go outside the mansion once you're pregnant, Noah wants to keep you and the baby healthy." he tried to remember the other things he needed to say, "And cooking, you do not need to do that. he will hire a helper and a chef also. you are not allowed to enter the kitchen or any other part of the house without supervision." it was almost as if they were scared of her that she may steal something.

"All these I'm telling you, you'll find them very handy shortly." he fixed the key in the lock, twisting it before pulling the knob and entering first.

"he doesn't like intruders in his personal space. I hope this room is sufficient enough for all your Businesses. the bathroom is by your left." she picked a printed paper that was lying on the bed, "What is this?"

"It's a copy of all the rules you'll have to follow here, In case you miss them. same goes for the one on the wall." she looked at the glued list, they even bother to put another, she was not so careless that she would lose the one she got! she felt like punching his talkative mouth, He kept on repeating one thing ever since she got here. maybe he was scared of that weirdo, but not her.

"Ms. Ricot? are you even listening?" he sighed. "You should take everything seriously. my Boss does not joke, maybe he does, but they don't get funny. and also." he muttered, "When the boss could have easily gotten someone from the hospital, I don't know why he decided to choose you." she heard it but he did not care. he was already so stressed out that his job was reduced to a babysitter to this little human.

"I'll leave you to revise the rules. come down for dinner at 7 pm." he bowed at her, adjusting his glasses before leaving the room.

She exhaled out loud, ruffling her hair with he hand, "Arghhh..." he did not look like the Jeremy who convinced her to see his boss some days ago.

she checked her pocket for her phone, she just wanted to text Debby and ask her not to worry, she won't be coming back tonight and also Inform her that she started staying here at the mansion, she did not find it. she looked around the bed, it wasn't there and her mind flashed back to Noah, the time he got too close to her and gave her a cut, the pain was not the only thing she felt, she felt some relief from something, did he collect her phone?

Jasmine walked out of her room, she had to find him and take her phone back, what would he be doing with it? he was a thief If he took it!

She looked at the first and second floor and a quick chill ran down her spine, Jeremy gave her a rule order to follow and one of them was not going upstairs, she had to message them when she needed something, but now he took her gadget.

she had to ignore the rules, climbing up to the first floor with her heart roaring for her to go back, but she cared less.
