Episode 10

It was the third time she ignored Nick's phonecalls in the last 2 minutes. At every interval she would catch the stare of all of them and she kept on wondering if he would ever stop calling. He went further to send her a text which she saw, and then panicked.

'He's coming over!' She quickly excused herself from the dinning table to call him but he rejected it rather because he knew she could talk him out of not coming over.

She sent the call again and he did the same. She went further to text him maybe he wouldn't pull through with his plans of seeing her.

She returned to their dinning table and sat to continue her meal trying as much as possible to avoid Daniel's stare. Fortunately for her, breakfast excluded Daniel's parents because they took a 6am flight to France to enjoy their anniversary.

"Well," Everyone turned to the servant that had began to speak. "Simeon said to inform you that a young man wouldn't stop shouting your name and requests to see you." The servant directed his information to Clarissa.

That was when they heard it, the voice calling out to her and she paled at it. That, she thought was really fast. Was he close by or something? The thought made her confused infact. Why does he have to be so desperate? Nobody needed to tell her that the table was curious of what she would do.

'Clarissa!' The voice started again. 'He isn't going to keep you from me!'

Daniel's expression was void of emotion and that made her a little confused on what to do. He had to stop somehow. She had to do something immediately.

"I'll just talk to him," She said standing to leave but a cold grip made her stop. He had been fighting the urge to stop her and finally gave in. He shouldn't care but he did anyways.

"You don't need to do anything. Just tell the guards to throw him out and they will." Daniel said finally letting go of her, not bothering to look her way.
