Chapter 125 - Barging In

Facing Zeus in such a broken state, Eva was badly perplexed, unable to come up with any method to cope up with the situation. Fanning hard in anxiety, she softly tried to hold his grimace in her trembling hands, gazing intensely.

"Zeus...what's wrong? Why are you behaving like this?"

He was still grieving remorsefully, frowning his face and twitching his jowls. But, this time his gestures seemed a bit dizzy. His feet were trembling on their own and leaning his back against the wall, he tried to stand straight, wailing out, "I know it well! Eventually, just like everyone else...you will abandon me too! You will leave me too!" 

"Zeus, why are you in such a wrecked state? What's wrong---" All of a sudden, her speech trailed off as she touched his face cupping within her grip. Rolling his eyes in horror, she screamed out loud, "Zeus, you are burning with fever! Oh my gosh! What am I gonna do? It's too hot..." In trepidation, she started to touch all over his face including his forehead, cheek, jowls. 

He understood it apparently, that it was the feverish sensation that he has felt for a while due to the exposure of the extreme trauma. It hasn't been long since he survived that grave injury. His head was feeling much heavier throbbing in pain and angst. His vision was turning a bit blurry and it was making him difficult to even stand firm.

"Eva...leave me alone...Don't bother..."

Before he could even wrap his words, all of a sudden a complete blackout prevailed right in front of his eyes. In the blink of a second, he lost his consciousness and collapsed in her arms. Alarmed in fear, she screamed out aloud seeing him in such a terrible state holding him closer to her heart. 

.....

DING DONG!

Flinched out hard with the sudden loud voice of the doorbell, Clara jolted up from her sleep and woke up on her bed. Looking a bit anxious, she glanced all around the room and took a peek at the wall clock in her bedroom.

"Did I hear it right? Was it my doorbell? But...it's 3 am right now, how can it be possible?" Scratching her scalp, she was mumbling on her own while yawning.

DING DONGGG!

This time the sound of the doorbell seemed much loud than before as if someone pressed it quite harder. A bit anxious at the sudden interruption, unwillingly she stood up from her bed and headed towards the door, strolling fast.

Before opening the doorknob, she quickly grabbed a big metal rod placed on the umbrella basket near the door for her own safety and kept it hidden behind her. Abruptly unlocking the door, she clenched the rod harder to counterattack over it if it was a forthcoming danger. 

But it wasn't any burglar or criminal standing at her door. To her surprise, it was Czar visiting her at such an unexpected time, fully drenched wet from tip to toe.

"Ma-Master?" Swirling her pupils, Clara blurted out in a loud pitch.

"Why did it take you so long to open the door? I chose to enter your home like any other normal being, but if I had known you are going to make me wait like this...I would have at least used teleportation." He scrunched his eyebrow ridge and sounded quite vexed, and palpitated.

"Master, what are you doing in my house at this hour? Do you know...it's 3 am in the morning--"

"I am gonna stay over for tonight." Before she could wrap her sentence, Czar boldly interrupted her remark and headed straight inside her room in a gallant posture. She was spellbound with his brazen attitude and stood still momentarily at the door in disbelief.

"Are you gonna keep standing at the door?" He took a small glance at her and chose to probe audaciously.

Frowning her eyebrows, she closed the door and impertinently walked closer towards him in the hallway. "Umm, well, I am speechless with your audacity, master. First of all, why are you here in a woman's place at such an absurd time? Besides, you are even boldly proclaiming that you would stay here overnight. So how should I process this whole situation?" Her voice sounded much irked.

Czar took a small huff of breath out and intended to remove his drenched suit coat, putting it in the laundry basket placed near the corridor. "I don't see you as a woman." He declaimed in a deep voice.

"What?"

"I don't see you as a woman. For me, you are my slave and I can do whatever I wish around you. So, I don't find anything absurd about barging in your place right now. I didn't want to stay alone in a hotel so I came here instead. Anyway, prepare some spare clothes for me. I am gonna take a shower." Sounding much bold, he took a small peak at the washroom which was just on the left side of the hallway passage.

"Excuse me?" Agitated at his rude fusing, she headed a few steps closer to him while glaring her eyes in frustration. "Where I would find spare clothes for you, master? You might not see me as a woman...but I am a woman and I don't have any spare men's clothing. So I suggest you, it's better you should move into a hotel rather than staying here."

For a while, he kept glancing at her perturbed reaction with a sly smirk lingering on his face. Folding his arms within his arm notch, he mumbled in a spooky tone,  "well, spare clothes aren't a big issue for me. I don't mind roaming here naked if I don't find clothes. In fact, being like that is much more comfortable for me---"

"But I mind it! How can you roam here naked in my home? Have you lost your goddamn mind?" Screaming in frustration, her voice reverberated like an echo in the entire room.
