Chapter 111: What Are You Going To Do To Me?
"How cunning." Ivan’s eyes sparkled with mirth when he turned on the door knob to find it locked. Of all things he had imagined his little lamb would do in order to get away from him, locking the door and keeping him out was definitely not on the list.
Surprisingly, his little lamb surely knows how to play the game a lot better than he expected. If it were someone else, she would have won to be more precise, since getting to her while the door was locked would be nearly impossible. But then again, she seems to forget that he wasn’t all human, but a vampire with innate abilities.....and one of those abilities includes breaking the door down with his physical strength, or possibly, unlocking the door using one of his psychic phenomena.
"Let’s play it your way, little lamb." His lips twitched, almost making a smile on his lips as he backed away from the door. He then leaned closer, placing his ear to the door to make out any movements or suspicious sound that would help him locate exactly where she would be hiding.
Meanwhile, inside his chamber, the entire place was dimly illuminated as the heavy curtains concealed the outside world from Samantha’s view, but presently, that wouldn’t be considered a problem to the young maiden. Pacing back and forth, Samantha was yet to comprehend his intention on why he had decided on a hide and seek chase. She found it childish and totally unlike him, not only that but she was more concerned about why she had run away just because he was giving her one of those looks again,and maybe it was time she confronted him, one on one.
She needed to find the courage and face that vampire Lord, she’d point a finger at his face and give him a little piece of–
A stifled gasp escaped her lips when her eyes darted to the door to find the door knob moving, as though someone was trying to open it from the outside. At this rate, Samantha could hear her heart thumping loudly against her chest, and she didn’t make a sound until the movement stopped.
Did he leave?
Thank goodness she locked it, but why was she afraid? Samantha couldn’t find anything sensible to explain why she was anxious, maybe because prince Tobias himself had told her to run, and she was unaware of what Ivan might do to her if he catches her. What did she do exactly??
"Little Lamb."
Hearing the familiar voice call her name outside, Samantha didn’t dare respond and immediately went to find a place to hide. Tiptoeing silently on her bare feet, Samantha tried not to make even the tiniest sounds as her quick eyes darted to Ivan’s bed, and when an idea popped in her head, her emerald eyes gleamed as though she had thought of something brilliant.
Adding more strides, Samantha reached for the door that led to the balcony, opening it and leaving it slightly ajar. When it made a creaking sound, Samantha knew that was what she needed to deceive Ivan about her whereabouts. Thinking she had come up with the best plan, she heard the door knob click loudly as if he had managed to unlock it from outside, and when the door knob began to move again, Samantha immediately went under his bed, staying quiet while also trying to deal with her breathing.
