Breakfast the next day wasn't as usual. There was no annoying statements, foolish smirks, eyes rolling and curses. In fact the table was totally quiet and very uncomfortable. After breakfast when Darien left for work, Beryl also stood up. Before going to her room, she told Nanny Julie not to prepare her lunch since she was going to skip it. She forced herself back to sleep. It was four that she that she came out of her room. She sat on the couch in the living room. Nanny Julie came to her with a tray of fresh mango juice and two sliced toast. "Please take this. You must be hungry." Beryl smiled at the woman's kindness. "You didn't need to bother yourself but thanks." Beryl told. "It's my job." Beryl smile faded at her words. "Nanny please can ask you something?" "Sure, please go on." "How long have you been working here?" Beryl asked. "I was hired three months before the young master was born and I've been with him since then." Beryl was taken aback by news. "Wow. How are you able to coope with him or you are just used to him?" Nanny Julie smiled at her question. "The thing is the young master, it is very tedious to enter his circle. If he does not allow you to enter it is impossible for you make your way in. He believes that one shouldn't let people have space in their lives only to let go then leave a hole which isn't suppose to be there in the first place. I don't know what he saw in you because apart from his mother he doesn't allow any other person in, not even his family. Him bringing you here... he has good intentions for you. I have been with him before day one so I've already seen it that's why I've been able to stay with him. And I hope you see that." Beryl nodded her head and smiled. "Thank you Nanny. I hope I also see what you see in him." Nanny Julie smiled back. "I need to prepare dinner." Beryl stood up and said, "I want to help." "No...the young master won't be pleased." Nanny Julie rejected." He wouldn't be when doesn't know." Nanny Julie sighed. The girl was so stubborn. "Okay. But be careful not to hurt yourself. "Okay."
Super was finished earlier and Beryl went for her bathe. She went back to help Nanny Julie set the table.
Just as they finished setting table Darien was entered the living room. While Nanny Julie went up to the man, greeted him and took his bag, Beryl just ignored. Darien on the other hand didn't say anything. He just stared at her for awhile and went upstairs. He really wantrd her to behave like she used to. He went to his room and took a quick shower and came down for dinner.
When they started eating, Darien called Nanny Julie and asked, "did mom come here?" "No master." Darien frowned his brow. "Then who made these?" Darien asked again. Nanny Julie gulped. She could tell it didn't taste like the ones she often made. Earlier while cooking, Nanny Julie noticed Beryl's method of cooking was identical to mistress' own. No was no surprise that Darien thought her mother cooked it.
"I did..." Beryl answered. Darien's frown deepened wanting an explanation. "She was dull and when she asked me, I couldn't refuse. I knew it would cheer her up." The man sighed at the woman's explanation. "Thank you Nanny but don't allow that anymore. She might get hurt." He told. "Okay. Please I am sorry." While Nanny Julie apologise, Beryl was frowning as she stared at Darien. She wanted to say something it the words refused to come out. In the end she slub her palm on the table and walk away. Both of Nanny Julie and Darien sighed.
When Beryl left, he ate alone. After eating, he went to his home office and worked for three hours. When he went upstairs to sleep he went to Beryl's room knowing the girl won't be in his room. Arriving at her room, Beryl wasn't there. He went to the bathroom to check but only realize she had locked the door from behind. He sighed. He went for sharp and pointed metal and easily unlocked the door. He intruded the room and searched around until he found Beryl asleep in the empty bathtub. This girl...what was wrong with her? She would rather sleep in the cold bathtub then to sleep with him in the wgarm and cozy bed. What was so bad about staying with him jn the first place? He sighed and want forward to gathered her into his arms to the bed. He slept beside her with and covered her with the comforter.
The next morning, Darien was woken up by the clicking door. He stretched and turned to the side but didn't find Beryl. He looked forward and saw her standing in front of the mirror in a very simple home wear. He felt a bonner by simply look at her behind. He stood out of the bed and was about to hug her from behind but Beryl saw him through the mirror and quickly pulled away. "Please stay away from me." Darien wanted to cry. Beryl you can be that heartless. You seduced me then rejects me. You know that's not fair." Darien pointed. "See who is talkibg about having a heart and being fair." She said and walked out off the room.
During breakfast, Darien told her to prepare herself for they would be going to visit his mom. Beryl was taken aback. Why would he take her to see his mother. Did he want to embarrass her? How was he going to introduce her. As his sex toy, whore?... "No...I won't go. I will just stay behind." She declined. "I wasn't asking, I telling you." Darien cooed. Beryl pressed her lips together. This was the life she chose. All she can do is to endure it. Darien was curious when he didn't receive any reaction from her. He glanced up at her and the woman only focus on the food.
After the food, she went to her room and prepared herself. She didn't put much effort in dressing. She wore a simple A-line dress that reach four inches above her knees, applied a very light makeup and let her hair loose. When she came downstairs Darien was already there. He stared at her endlessly, mesmerised by the beauty of her simple look but Beryl totally ignored him and went out to the car.
From the mansion to the Cooper's mansion was two hour drive and whole time there was a total silence. They entered a white and blue gate. Just as Darien's mansion, the place was magnificent. But she was much mesmerised with the mansion than Darien's. Because not like Darien's mansion which had black, white and ash as it colour, this mansion had blue, white and gold making the place feel briskly and cozy. There were also a alot flowers planted around making the environment look colourful and not packed. The moment stopped, Beryl stepped out, Darien smirked. He thought she looked really cute when angry. He walked to his side and tried to hold her hand but Beryl shook it off. "Do touch me." Darien ignored her words and grabbed her hand.
They walk into the house and was greeted by a butler and three maids. "Where is my mom?" Darien asked. "Master please he is in her room. He made Beryl sit on the couch and instructed the butler to something to drink. When the butler went to bring want he ordered he told Beryl, "Stay here I will be back very soon and don't be stubborn." Beryl rolled her eyes. She muttered, "as if I'm a kid." Darien shook his head and went upstairs to call to call his mother.
When he got to the door, he knocked several time but she didn't respond. He opened the door and intruded it. There he found his mother sitting before the mirror sobbing. He frowned his brow and walked up to her. "Mom why are you crying? Tell me who made you cry?" Darien asked. He swore he would make that person pay. "It's you! You made me cry. See..." She pointed at the wrinkle on the side of her eyes. I am getting old. My time on earth will soon come to an end yet I don't have even one grandchild. Darien sighed in relief. It was the woman's time to frown her brow. "Darien you think it something to be relieved about?" Neves, Darien's mother lamented. "I think so. Mom I'm just 26. 30 is far from me." Neves frown deepened. "Son you only have four years to turn 30. Time is not going to stand by and wait for you." Darien sighed. "Mom I promise by the time I turn 30, I will give you a grandchild....come on let's go down stairs. There is some one I want you to meet. She wait in the living room." Neves immediately stood up at her son's information. "You brought a guest and she is a she?!"She exclaimed and went downstairs leave her son behind.
In the living room, Neves found Beryl sitting on the couch with her back facing her. "He...hello". Neves said. Beryl quickly stood up and turned to her. "Please good afternoon ma'am." Beryl bowed. Neves couldn't contain her joy. The girl before her wasn't only beautiful but also polite and elegant. "Oh please sit down. Feel comfortable here is also your home." Neves said. Beryl nodded and sat back. Neves went and sat beside her. "What she your name dear?" Neves questioned in excitement. "Please I am Beryl Blandford." Beryl replied politely. Though she was smiling outsidebut only Gid knew how nervous she was. She prayed for the woman not to ask about her relationship with Darien but fate didn't seemsto be on her side. "That explains why. You are as beautiful as a beryl. So tell, who are you to my son. He never brought anyone to this place before. You must be a crucial person to him for him to bring you here." The question took Beryl by Beryl tongue tired. She didn't know what to say. "Ermm..he..I'm..err." Darien noticed her hesitation so he replied for her, "She is my woman." Darien came and sat beside Beryl. "Mr. Man mind your business." Neves shut her son up and went back to questioning Beryl, wanting to know more about her.
In the evening, Neves insisted that they sleep over. Darien didn't have any issue since he had his clothes and everything there. But for Beryl, it was the opposite.
"Don't worry, I will order some clothes for you." Neves assured.
Darien took his bath first and when to check on something. Beryl took a quick bathe and wore Darien's baggy t-shirt and his shorts. She climbed the bed to sleep and just that moment, Darien intruded the room. At the view of Beryl, he felt his bones crumble down and rearrange. He quickly went to the bed and ceased her under him. "Darien what are you doing?! Get off me!!" Darien didn't heed to her and smashed his lips on hers. "Dari..." She tried pushing her off but he locked her hands above her head. When he pulled away, Beryl had to take in deep breaths to catch her breath. "Darien for Christ sake we are not doing it here. What will your mother think of us?! Please stop." Darien smirked. "She's going to be really happy." He said and went back to kissing. He let go of her wrist and torn the t-shirt off. She was about to push him off when Darien warned, "don't be stubborn or else I will tie you down. Beryl cursed the man under her breath.
Darien pulled away and stared at Beryl, appreciating the beauty under him. "Stop staring at me". Beryl hissed. Darien smirked. His hand went up and squeezed her breast. Beryl couldn't help the moan the escaped her mouth. "Ahhh..." Darien leaned down and kissed her again this time more fiercer. He left kiss mark at every potion that he kissed even when Beryl for him not to. His act went down to jaw, neck, shoulder, collarbone and linger on her two breast sucking and massaging them simultaneously. When he had had enough he moved down to her peach. He took in a deep breath of a her peach and smiled in satisfaction. " You smell so good. I've really missed this." He mumbled and leaned down to her peach. Darien began to give her short lick continuously. Beryl took in deep breaths to stop herself from moaning and stay sane but it barely paid off especially when he started to suck and lick her deeply. "Ahhh Darien mmm" Darien smirked again in satisfaction. He felt Beryl dug her fingers in his hair and it made him rejoice inwardly. Her moans continued until she erupted. Darien knelt on the bed and took off his clothes. He kissed her passionately while stroking himself. This time, Beryl responded to the kiss, kissing with the same intensity. While they were still kissing, Darien invaded her. They broke they kiss and moan. "Ahhh oh my gosh...ahh". "Fuck fuck...mm feels so good". They were at it for more than thirty minutes until they couldn't contain it and exploded.
After calming down, Beryl looked down on her body and frown. Darien smirked at her displeasure and began to tease her. "Do you like my creation. This is a perfect work of art. Priceless." Beryl wanted to strangle to death but since she couldn't, she decided to mess with his pride. "It's only priceless to you. When I'm free from you I will find someone I love and I will cherish me. We will make the priceless ones. It will be way better than yours and I won't be be ashamed if others sees them." Okay she went a bit too far. Darien's eyes turned devilish hearing her statement. He hovered over her "You wouldn't dare. You are mine! Only mine!! Say it!!" He ordered. Beryl became a little fearful but she refused to let the get into her. "No! I will never be yours!! I am leaving after six months." She shouted back. "Beryl you are really testing my patience." He smashed his lips on hers. His actions were far from gentle. Beryl tried using all her strength to push him away but in the end, hands got tied to the head board. "Please Darien you are hurting me." Beryl complained. "This is your punishment for think of another man making mark on you." Darien told. Beryl couldn't believe her ears. So he wasn't angry about the fact that another man will be better than him but instead another man giving her kiss marks. What did he expect? That she stays single after the contract while he goes about enjoying himself. That wasn't fair. He was being childish.
