Don’t forget to vote. Thank you

"Bring a new clean blanket. Now." Ethan ordered the maid who brought a tray full of two wine glasses and one juice cup for Petal.

The maid looked at Ben wanting to know what to do and nodded her head. Immediately the maid left the room and went back quickly with a new blanket.

"Set here." Ethan said, pointing at a chair near the fireplace as he wrapped the blanket around her.

Holding onto the blanket. Petal looked at Ethan. Noticing how he was glaring at Ethan. Tugging on his sleeve. She pointed her chin at the chair across from her for him to take. Maybe this will end the glaring war between them.

"How do you feel? Warm?" He asked in a tender voice and a warm look in his eyes as if she was going to break if raise his voice.

Petal nodded at her but he wasn’t convinced. Touching her hands. Ethan felt relieved. Her hands were warmer now."If I was late, maybe she could have frozen to death." Ethan finally replied to his words.

Turning to look at Ben. Petal noticed the murders look on his face. This is going to belong. She thought to herself.

"That will never happen. If there’s someone who might be hurt, here is you. Or did you forget what you did?" Ben said. striking a nerve.

Petal’s body froze. She turned to look at Ethan who looked at her with eyes full of guilt. He didn’t say anything but only kept looking at her.

During the dinner. The atmosphere was tense. Her uncle’s words made Ethan angry at himself but he didn’t say anything. He ate his meal in silence, occasionally looking at Petal making sure that she was eating her food.

Ben had a smile of victory on his face. His words hit the spot where they hurt the most. What he did to Petal can never be undone or forgotten. He will never forgive for what he did to Petal. He knew that she was innocent a d yet he had tortured her. When the time is right. He will make sure that he gets what he deserves.

Petal glanced at Ben before she reached Ethan’s hand from underneath the table. Holding it tightly. Telling him that she was worried about him. He turned to look at her as he warped his hand around hers. It was enough for him to know that she forgive for what he did.

Petal didn’t let go of Ethan’s hand during the dinner. She felt bad after seeing the look on his face. Ben’s words made him feel guilty about her again. A feeling she was trying to make him forget. So they can move on to a healthy relationship but he seemed to never forget.

"Make sure that you visit me again." Ben said as he hugged Petal. He didn’t like the idea of her leaving with the Wilson boy. He didn’t know how she trusted him again. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

"I will." Petal replied. signaling. Offering her uncle a smile before she left with Ethan.

Inside the car. Petal felt Ethan’s arm seek around her waist pulling her closer to him and she didn’t stop him.

"I love you." He whispered in her ear, caressing her face and she smiled at him. Sensing that something was wrong with him.

With her hand on his chest, above his beating heart. Petal felt his heart beating fast and his breathing wasn’t even. Ethan was restless and it’s because of what her uncle said.

Cupping his face. She kissed his forehead hoping that this kiss will assure him that she won’t leave him.

Once they reached the Willsons estate. Petal got off first and went upstairs to her room before Ethan. She wanted to stay with him but she didn’t want them to be caught. Stopping midway. Petal looked down seeing Ethan coming upstairs too. He was talking on the phone so he didn’t seem to notice her.

When Ethan reached the second floor where his room was. He stopped in his tracks seeing Petal standing in front of his room looking at him."Tomorrow morning I will call you again." He hung up the phone and walked towards her.

"Can I come in?" Petal asked. signaling.

Ethan didn’t reply. He unlocked the door for her."After you." He said resting his hand on her lower back.

Biting her lower lip. Petal entered his room. This would be the first time she entered his room. Looking around the room, she noticed that it’s simple there weren’t too many things in the room. The design was simple but elegant and warm.

Turning her head. Petal saw Ethan removing his coat. She two reached for coat buttons to remove them and placed them on the chair.

"Tell me. Why didn’t go to your room?" Ethan asked as he stood in front of her. Reaching to push her hair back.

"I didn’t want to leave you. You seemed sad." Petal replied. signaling.

"Hmm. I’m happy to hair that." Ethan leaned forward pressing a kiss on her cheek before he pulled back."Spend the night here with me. Just sleeping. This will be enough for me." Ethan said as he cupped her face with both hands pecking her lips before pulling away.

Petal nodded her head. Now she was thinking about what she was going to wear to sleep. But soon this problem was immediately solved when Ethan brought her one of his shirts.

"Wear this." Ethan said. Handing her the shirt.

Petal took the shirt from him and stood up walking towards the bathroom to change her clothes.

Ethan changed into his worn clothes and climbed into the bed waiting for her. He had locked the door so no one would disturb them.

Hearing the door to the bathroom open. Ethan turned to look in the door direction. Petal came out of the bathroom barefoot wearing his shirt that reached to her knees.
