I do the opposite

My father opened the door for me. I stepped out and followed behind him meekly. He said our luggages would be sent to our rooms.As my father said I would be sharing a room with someone I started feeling nervous again. I hope I don't make a fool of myself.

"Mr Bennett long time no see"came a very feminine voice. I looked up in front where there were few people standing outside the house for our welcome I guess.

"Oh Mrs Jade"my father acknowledged to the women. She was a mid aged woman standing in a long blue sleeveless gown with pearl necklace.Her eyes almost disappeared as she smile sweetly at us.Then she saw me and and turned to hug me.Pulling away she said"Oh you've grown into a fine young lady".Excuse me!Do I even know you? "Er...u-",,,,"She is Mrs Gloria Jade Ronald"said my father before I could spill any nonsense."The wife of Mr Jade Ronald..one of the most successful businessman"he added gesturing towards an elderly man in suit.The man in question chuckled at the introduction and said"Oh Bennett spare me with that introduction",,they both shook their hands and then Mr Jade turned to me "Hello young lady! You will be our guest for few days so make yourself home and feel free to come up to me if you have any problem"he said sticking a hand out. It's just a simple handshake you can do it Diana. "Hi I am Diana Mr Jade.Thank you for having us"i said slapping my hand in his as if it was a high-fi.

Oh shoot.

Mr Jade chuckled yet again"I see you have a good sense of humor..You will get along well with my daughter..Katherine take her to freshen up we have some business to talk about"

A girl who was standing a little far from us leaning against a wall busy with phone reluctantly nodded and came to me."Diana this is Katherine nice to meet you"she said dryly. "Okay go get a little rest we will meet for dinner"said my father patting my back. I nodded and started walking with Katherine.

The inside of the house was even more luxurious than I thought it to be.There were modern designs and sofas. I was staring at everything with such awe.The walls were painted white and off blue and there were white flowers adding to the aesthetic beauty of the living room.I am mostly uninterested in almost everything but there's one thing I like the most that is art. I am an admirer of beauty and this was just so beautifully decorated that I couldn't help but stare at everything. Katherine noticed it and said"I assume you are here for at least a week here so don't worry these things won't disappear overnight"

"Oh yeah haha"i replied nervously.She stared at me for a second and then we continued walking.

We entered a room which was huge it was almost 3x the size of my bedroom."Please don't touch anything and If you need anything"Katherine said"Dont.come.to.me"i nodded lol nevamind.

Thanks to my sister who have taught me to be not affected by any of such unfriendly behavior.

"May I use your washroom ma'am "I said with a sarcastic pleading look. "No"she said glaring at me. "Alright then I suppose I have to pee her-".."Don't act smart"she warned.

I simply rolled my eyes at her and went inside the washroom. I could deal with her later. I quickly freshened up and changed into my pjs and came out. Dinner was served at our room and when I asked why"its sir order"was their simple reply

I jumped into the bed after eating. It was so comfortable.I couldn't see Katherine around so I sighed internally finally peace.

But the peace didn't long enough as I heard a void sound of glass break.I looked around and saw nothing. I then got up from my bed to look at the balcony. Yeah there she is.

She was talking to someone on call and it looked like she was at the verge of emotional breakdown.Ouch!Thats the thing about love. It always looks sweet and all lovely from outside but totally shakes you off emotionally. That's my motivation for being single not that I don't cry looking at couple goals but still I won't take risk with the cards of my feelings. I mean i did had a middle school crush who was a fuckboy and when I realized he was just a big flirt I distanced myself from him. This was my super brief horrifying love story.

Katherine came back and sat at the edge of the bed holding her head in her hands. I just stood awkwardly. I wasn't mentally prepared.. never did I ever knew that this was going to happen .

So I cleared my throat and said"you want water? "she looked at me and nodded weakly. I filled in a glass from the jar and passed her. She drank it and looked at me with a smile"thank you".

"Er...okay"i said not expecting her to be so sweet all of a sudden. She sniffled and looked at her hands on the lap. "You know I am so tired of obeying him all the time"she said. Are you talking to me? I thought. I looked left right and when I saw no one I understood she was talking to me.

Oh poor girl maybe she was in a bad mood all this time that's why she treated me the way she treated me. I swear love sucks. The feminist in me woke up and I stood up abruptly causing her to flinch. "you know..girl to girl... You are absolutely awesome so fuck him"i said in a serious tone. "I know that I don't know anything about you or your boyfriend or your love story but trust me if someone makes you cry like this then girl.. He doesn't deserve you.. If he tries to rule you like you said and you are not comfortable in obeying him then just fuck him..i don't understand why do people become fools in love I mean why whyyy...listen girl stop crying for that shit he is literally a bas-",,I was cut off when she started laughing like a maniac whoa she is deeply affected by the trauma.

I sat beside her and started patting her back trying to console her and she started laughing even louder. "Hey.... It's not... You... You are hilarious.. "she said in between her laughter. Thanks for the compliment.

Suddenly Mrs Ronald came in"Girls I expect y'all to behave"she said"Diana get some rest and don't step out of the room now. Go to sleep girls.Goodnight!" she said switching off the lights by the door walking out and closing the door behind.

"okay I guess now we have to sleep"katherine said with a yawn as she lied to her side of the bed. I lied down as well but something seemed off. Since the starting something seemed suspicious. My father talking to the guard privately, this insane level of security, Mrs Roland greeting me as if we met before..The Sherlock Holmes in me said something is definitely wrong.

"katherine"

"Hm"

"why did your mother said me not to go out"

"basically because it would be dangerous" she yawned.

"And you know what"

She didn't reply as she felt asleep.

I love danger games.
