What did Hayden just say? He’ll deal with me. What does that even mean?
"You should stay here for a while just to be safe and...don’t play around too much..." Hayden said as he looked at his brother pointedly.
"You’re always so strict..." Harvey complained openly.
"Just do as I say," Hayden ordered firmly.
"Sure. What do you plan to do with her?" Harvey asked and I could feel his eyes on me.
I listened to the conversation of the brothers in wonder and was surprised that Harvey had asked the question that was on my mind.
"I haven’t decided. Don’t worry, she won’t be stepping a foot outside. Neither will she speak to anyone," Hayden replied very calmly.
Harvey nodded with agreement before he flashed a smile my way. He’s so evil. He’s just...twisted and evil...
"Well, from what I could tell from my inspection just now...her neck is quite slim, and her skin is soft and tender. It’s such a waste that she’s so stubborn and doesn’t seem to take instructions very well," Harvey commented.
Hayden did not respond to his brother’s comments, he just nodded in agreement. Harvey looked my way before sighing.
The sound of his laughter echoed loudly behind us. We reached the door of the large room, finally, and Hayden pulled me after him out of the door before he kicked the door closed with his foot. The door shut with a loud bang from the force of his kick. The sound echoed along the long and dark hallway. Unlike when I entered the dark hallway, I was making my way out of it along with Hayden.
His grip on my wrist didn’t relax and it hurt with each pull of my arm.
When we made it back to the fork in the path, I was unfortunately reminded that I had a special dinner planned for tonight. Judging from the way things are playing out, I doubt that we would have the special dinner together. Furthermore, I doubt that we would have any peaceful dinner together at all.
It had a been a long while since Auntie called for me to meet her and I hoped that she wasn’t worried about me. I shook my head to clear my thoughts when I realized that I should be worrying more about myself and the situation that I was in rather than worrying about that old lady or anyone else.
Hayden stood next to me with his hand still around my wrist. I summoned my courage and glanced up at his face. As expected, his face was cold and completely void of any emotions. I wondered what he was going to do to me. Would he lock me up in my room?
That idea was certainly incorrect because instead of dragging me back in the direction of my rooms, Hayden dragged me into his wing of the mansion. Although he has brought me here often enough by now, I cringed as I felt that I was in for a not-so-pleasant surprise for this particular visit. A short while after, I found out that I was right.
We arrived at the large doors leading to Hayden’s bedroom, but he didn’t stop walking. Instead, he dragged me right past it without even pausing.
Where is he taking me?
We walked past the door to his bedroom and that was when I realized that I didn’t know what lay beyond in his wing of the mansion beyond his bedroom. After a short walk down a smaller hallway that I had never been to before, Hayden came to a stop at a tall door.
