Chapter 14

She put some powder in that glass and shake it to mix it well….

Giving it back to the waiter, she ordered in a rude tone" go and pour this glass of wine on that man who is wearing a black tuxedo” she pointed towards Rowan who was speaking with businessmen and sipping his wine.

“Listen” she called the poor waiter again.

“Yes madam “. He replied.

“ If he wants to go to bathroom just make sure you take him to my room's bathroom, now get lost” she barked at the poor waiter.

He was already shivering with fear because he has heard a lot about Rowan that he is ruthless and arrogant. He clean his sweaty face and stood at the back, looking for a chance.

When he saw Rowan standing up and moving towards the bar counter, the waiter bumps into him and pour the whole glass on his coat and shirt. Looking at the scene, someone was getting pleased, that now she will have this handsome man in her bed.

“WHAT THE FUCK? ARE YOU FUCKING BLIND? SHIT T?” rowan exclaimed angrily.

He pushed aside the waiter and starts walking away, but before he could take a step the waiter said while sweating badly.

“I… I am sorry… Sorry, sir. I will… Take you to bathroom to clean this.” he smiled nervously.

Rowan, without giving any response, walks behind him, but he felt a sudden heaviness in his head. He put his hands on either side of his head and fell forward on the waiter. The waiter got scared, he thought that he is going to beat him for messing his clothes. He starts shivering.

At that time, Mr. Oliver's daughter again appear in front of him. She holds rowan's bicep and traces her finger on his bicep seductively and whispered near his ear" what happened Rowan, do you need something?” and then bite his earlobe.

He was going to push her away, but Mr. Hudson appears in front of them. He was coming from one of the bathrooms when he saw rowan getting dizzy.

Furthermore, he rushed towards Rowan and snatched his bicep from Mr. Oliver's daughter grip. She was holding his hand as if he was her boyfriend, but he knows better.

Rowan looked up at the person who was now holding him tightly. He found his father standing there,” Dad… Dad. I want toooo..go…ho homeee" he stuttered.

Rowan was feeling hot, he was struggling with his tie when Michael said" what happened Rowan? Why are you behaving like this?” he was shocked at his behavior.

Rowan was not a drunk man, he would always consume enough alcohol where he can handle himself. He was bot an alcoholic man. Currently, his situation is not like he has consumed a high amount of alcohol.

“ Home… Dad i wannnnt.. RAB…rabbit” he slurred…

Michael didn't know whom he is referring to as Rabbit, but he shook his head and took him at the backside of the mansion. He asked the driver to drive him safely home and asked sapphire to feed him something healthy because he is drunk right now.

On the other hand, sapphire woke up in the middle of her sleep and looked around. She didn't find Rowan in the room, that's mean he is not here now. So, she went downstairs and looked for someone else. She moves towards kitchen and found only Catherine working in kitchen…

“ Catherine, why are you here today this late?” she questioned.

“I was waiting for you to wake up, so you can eat something.” replied Catherine softly. She loves this beautiful soul who is so pure and innocent for this harsh family.

“it's ok, you can go home. I will wait for Rowan. You know I can’t eat before him. I will warm it up” she smiled sadly at her life.

“You know, he will eat in the party, and he will be late” Catherine said while caressing her hair.

Sapphire always feels motherly feeling from Catherine. She misses her mother, but she is happy to find Catherine in her life. This house has given her three best people in her life after her mother. One is that one who can never be hers, her husband. Second one is her papa, Rowan's father and third is Catherine, this elderly maid in this house.

They were talking about something when one guard came inside the house asking about sapphire…

“Madam there is a man asking about you. His name is Liam. Should I send him in?” the guard asked from his madam, who was listening to him…

She immediately bobbed her head up and down, giving permission. She became happy. Her face brightens up when she heard Liam name.

Liam, sapphire and Anastasia were friends from school. They were known to be the three musketeers. They were the naughty group in school but after graduation he flied abroad for further studies and both the girls remains here.

She ran towards the living room and Liam entered through the entrance of the mansion.

"Hey monkey” sapphire greeted him in a chirpy voice, she forgot about her fever and rowan.

A laughing voice resonated in the living room of Hudson mansion.

Liam laughed at her childish nickname for him. During middle school, he would always jump around them and do crazy things to make them laugh whenever she and ana would be sad.

“ Cupcake, is that you?” Liam questioned in return.

He hugged her tightly and she wrapped her arms around his waist.

“ Can't breathe" she mumbled from his chest.

“Ohh sorry, sorry, I forgot you are a fragile beauty who can't handle this handsome attention.” Liam winked at her…

“ You… You monkey, you are not handsome. You are still the same monkey. Today itself, you proved yourself to be a monkey”. She explained and giggled.

“How rude and how did I prove myself, my lady?” Liam asked and bowed in front of her in acting manner.

“Well the way you jumped on me when you were going to hug me” she said and then laughed at his horrified face.
