It All Started With Hatred-Chapter 138: Consider yourself dead

When Issac came back. Pearl was already in bed. She must have been waiting for him as she fell asleep. Removing her slippers. He lifted her body placing her in the middle of the bed before he covered her with the blanket.

"You look cute even when you’re sleeping."Issac whispered, kissing her forehead before he got off the bed.

Taking out his sleeping wear. He changed into them before she got back to the bed Climbing it. Pearl sensed his presence in her sleep. Turning around. She buried her face in his chest, rubbing it in his chest like a spoiled kitten.

"Did I wake you up?" Issac asked, stroking the back of her head.

"No. I slept too much today. I didn’t know why but I felt very tired." Pearl replied in her sleeping voice looking up at him.

Issac grinned from ear to ear hearing this. Finally, he’s going to have some fun!

Pearl rolled her eyes knowing why he suddenly existed. "Did you speak with your mother?" She asked him sitting up on the bed reaching for the cup of water on the nightstand.

"Hmm. I Did. She invited you for dinner tomorrow. She was very happy when I told her that she wanted to meet the family." Issac replied, slipping his hand inside her pajama shorts.

Pearl’s hand shot up to stop his wandering hand."That’s good. We have to go shopping tomorrow." She reminded him.

Issac pushed her hand away gently before he brought it to his lips kissing her palm. Pearl watched as he kissed the inside of her hand. Sending shivers down her spine. She knew that she couldn’t resist him. No woman can resist this charming man.

Issac was extra gentle that night. He didn’t push Pearl beyond her limits. He made sure not to be extreme or rough like he usually does.

Pearl stared at the man above her. His deep blue eyes stared back at her. Their hands entwined as he gently thrust inside of her. Her mind was overwhelmed with the rush and the mixed feelings she was going through. This man loves her. He did everything to make her believe that. Yet her heart never felt settled.

She wondered if this feeling would ever go away.

The next day. Petal got up early to go to school. Ethan was still sleeping as he had to stay late last night because he needed to take care of some work. She didn’t wake him up and got ready.

When she checked her phone. She found a message from Lana.

[Come to the mansion tonight. Issac is bringing his girlfriend to meet the family. Don’t be late.]

Petal smiled to herself after reading the message. Lana is considering her as a family member. She always did. From the first day, she met her. Looking at the time. Petal picked up her bag and left the house.

Staring at the ring in her hand. Petal smiled. Yesterday She and Ethan became engaged. Things are different now. She was glad that he kept it a secret for now. She is still not ready and needs some time to get used to everything.

She left a note for Ethan about the dinner and told him that they will meet there because she had to stay until the evening today to practice for the festival.

By the time Ethan woke up. It was already ten in the morning. He noticed that the space beside him was empty. He wanted to wake feeling Petal’s warmth in his arms but instead, he found a pink note on her pillow instead of her dark soft hair spread on it.

After reading the note. He got off the bed and went to the bathroom taking a shower before he went to the kitchen to have his breakfast only to find it ready and made by Petal.

Finding another pink note attached to the tray.

"Eat before you leave." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Picking up the orange fresh juice. He drinks it in one gulp before he eats the rest of the breakfast."It would have been better if you were here." He mumbled to himself, running his thumb over the pink note.

Now he needs to wait for almost another seven hours to see her again. Ethan noticed that he became addicted to her presence in his life. How not? She was the one who captured his heart. Their story is not the perfect one but he’s working on fixing his past mistakes.

Ethan’s phone rang and when he looked at the caller ID. His facial expressions hardened. He picked the call.

"What do you want?" He asked in a cold tone.

A female soft laugher could be heard from the other side of the line."Relax Ethan. Your voice is scary."

"Is there something urgent for you to call me? I thought I made it clear to you. Your service is no longer needed. Sarah." Ethan’s cold voice rings in her ears.

"Ah. That’s what you think. But I know you better than you know yourself, Ethan. You’re a beast and I don’t think that limp girl can satisfy you. That even touched her. It’s clear in your voice. You’re craving for a release. Come to me and I promise you..."

"The next time you call, consider yourself dead." Ethan warned her before he ended the call.

This woman had stepped over the line and he needed to teach her a lesson. Ethan had learned one thing in life. That human who doesn’t follow the rules. They need to be forcibly followed and there are many things to make them do that. The most effective way is fear. Deep fear can make people obedient.

When the evening came. Everyone had arrived. except for Issac and his girlfriend and Petal who didn’t show up until now.

"Ah. There he is." Lana said when she saw Issac walking inside the mansion with his girlfriend.

"Let’s go and welcome them." Alice said, walking towards her brother and their guest.

Ethan checked his phone again for the tenth time. No replies from Petal until now. Something was wrong. She should be here by now. So where is she? He regretted not sending someone to watch over her
