Chapter 36: Someone In The Family
Celeste tried to yank her hand away from my grip but I wasn't having it. She tugged harder, trying to free herself from my iron grip clutch. When she saw I wasn't letting go, she glared at me. "Let me go this instant."
"Only if you swear not to touch the boy." I informed her.
Celeste rolled her eyes, "No, he is a mere servant that's what he is."
"What he is, is actually human, not someone for you to pass your aggression on!" I threw at her.
Celeste opened her mouth to speak but I let go of her, then turned to the boy. "Someone get him out of here, and make sure he has a proper bed rest." I ordered the rest of the servants who immediately began to do my bidding.
"He is not going anywhere!" Adrianna suddenly said blocking his path.
I turned to look at Adrianna, not surprised she would chime in to this and I was just about to give her a taste of her own medicine when Killian grabbed me firmly on my wrist. I saw him shake his head subtly at me before he stepped forward with a smile on his face.
"How about we go away for a while Adrianna, and let these women handle it?" Killian said and Adrianna look like she was about to protest but Killian wasn't having it. He grabbed her gently and led her away.
The rest of the servants also turned to take their leave and eventually it remained just me and Celeste and she looked even angrier now. Great, just when I thought I could avoid drama! I muse dryly as I stared back at her with a menacing look.
