CHAPTER 11

As I entered my room, I went to the terrace. "Mr. Evans's garden is exquisite. There are many kinds of flowers. "I wanted to choose some and display them in my room." I whispered. And I remembered Mr. Evans's name. "Blake. He has the same name as Blake, who I met at the orphanage before. Is he the same person? No, I don't believe so; if they were the same person, I would have met Joseph. However, there is no Joseph in this house." I mumble to myself. "Ack! And Mr. Evans was scary today. He became enraged all of a sudden, in an instant. When can I leave here? It's difficult to live here with caution in order to avoid making mistakes and making him angry. When I recall what happened earlier, I feel my body chill. " I continued mumbling. And there's a knock on the door of my room. I opened the door to see who had knocked. It surprised me to see Mr. Evans in front of my door. When I remembered his menacing face, I felt a chill run down my spine.

"Mikaella!" I was startled when he called my name. "Are you OK?" He asked, but I didn't respond to him and my body became stiff. "Why did he come to me?" In my mind, I am thinking about what he wants to talk to me about. And I thought of many things, like how I could talk to him naturally. But my body and my mind don't cooperate with me. He constantly looked at me. "Did I do something wrong?" I asked myself. He patted my shoulders, and it startled me almost to death. "Mikaella, I'm sure I scared you earlier. I wanted to apologize to you. And..." I was at a loss for words before he continued, so I told him, "It's OK, I'm OK, I'm really fine. There's nothing to worry about, so please disregard my presence. I promise you I will not make any mistakes. "I will not fight your fiancée, and I can leave here at any time." My voice was trembling, and I was panicked that I had spoken too quickly. Mr. Evans was surprised and laughed at me. "Hahaha! Mikaella, relax. I won't hurt you. And I came here to apologize and to thank you for your help. I'm not interested in kicking you out or scaring you. But please accept my apologies for scaring you earlier. Don't mind about Dianne, I will handle her. All you have to do is enjoy your stay here." Mr. Evans explained it to me. "You won't kill me if I make a mistake while staying here?" I asked him with teary eyes. "No, I will never do that to you." Mr. Evans said. It delighted me when he clarified everything for me. "Did I scare you earlier?" He asked me and I nodded to him. He patted my head, and he apologized. We're talking a lot right now. And I believe that the rumors about him as a bloodthirsty man, whether they're true or not, don't matter anymore, because, for me, Mr. Evans is a wonderful person and a very kindhearted man. I want to ask him about everything, but I can't say anything because I'm afraid my questions will annoy him.

Jin and Mr. Evans needed to go out on business two days later. Jin came to me before he left. He reminded me to avoid Dianne, and they didn't know when they could return. He also told me that, no matter what happened, I couldn't leave the house because we didn't know what the enemy might do to me outside. I nodded to him and told them to take care of themselves. Dianne barged into my room after they had left and approached me. She suddenly slapped my face and yanked my hair. She yelled at me, but the maid and other servants ignored us like nothing had happened. Dianne kept yelling about my relationship with Mr. Evans. "Why didn't you answer me? What is your relationship with Blake? Why is he very nice to you? What did you do to him? You know he has a fiancee, right? Did you seduce him and Jin? Answer me!!!" Dianne was screaming and yanking my hair nonstop. Before I answered her, she continued shouting at me. "Blake was never nice to me! And he was very kind to you? I am his fiancée! And you're just nothing! You must leave this house now!" Dianne dragged me out of my room by my hair. I looked around at all the servants, hoping to get some help, but they were just passing us by. Luckily, one butler stopped her. "Ms. Dianne, Mr Evans told me that Ms. Mikaella will remain at this house. Please don't do things that make Mr. Evans angry. You are not yet the lady of the house." The butler said.

Dianne was irritated and she released me. "I'm sorry Ms. Mikaella, please go back to your room. Don't worry about Ms. Dianne. Mr. Evans told me to take care of you." The butler added. I nodded and said to the butler my thanks and went back to my room. A maid knocked on my door and told me to treat my wound. After the maid treated me, I laid down on my bed and thought of all the things that had happened. To avoid Dianne for a few more days, I requested that my food be delivered to my room. I kept myself inside my room and waited for Jin and Mr. Evans to return home. Four days later, while I was sleeping in the late evening, I heard a noise. I exited my room to investigate the source of the noises. Everyone seemed to be in a state of panic, and they were all busy doing something. I took a closer look to see what was causing them to panic. I was happy when I saw Jin and Mr. Evans returning home. But it shocked me when I saw Mr. Evans being carried by Jin and the doctor going to his room.
