Juliette POV

　　When I got back inside the room I went directly to my suitcase and got my sleep wears out of it. After changing into my blue shirt and full pants. I lied down on the bed and waited for sleep to overtake me. Moments from the morning came flooded into my mind. I tossed around in the bed hoping that if I slept I would no longer have to bear the pain that I was suffering but unfortunately nothing seemed to be working because I wasn't feeling sleepy at all. So, I got up and sat on the bed for some minutes. I didn't even have a phone to pass some time.


　　My eyes fell on the clock that was on the opposite wall. Half-past one in midnight. I sighed and thought about walking inside the room for some while till I feel sleepy. Getting up from the bed, I went to the other side of the partition only to notice the door. Then I thought about getting some fresh air from the balcony.

　　I went there and opened the door to the balcony. As soon as I did that my hair blew backward because of the cold breeze that hit me on my face. I felt relieved and took in a deep breath to control my nerves. The scenery was beautiful from the balcony. We were away from the main city but still, I could see lights from where I stood. The mansion was surrounded by trees as if an attempt to remain hidden.

　　There was a small table with two chairs on the side of the balcony. I went there and took a seat on the chair and sat for some minutes feeling the cold air relaxing my tense nerves until I felt sleepy. A yawn escaped my mouth as I stretched my arms in the air and got up from the chair. Making sure, that I closed the balcony's door I went back to the other partition of the room and lied down on the middle of the king sized bed sprawling my hands and legs in all direction before drifting off to sleep.


　　I tossed around but couldn't, I felt as if I was caged or being stopped from tossing around. It somehow made me suffocated. Moaning and groaning in irritation and my eyes blinked several times adjusting to the light. Stretching my arms in the air, I tried to get up when I realized something on my torso.

　　"What the-" I said and looked at what it was.


　　"An arm?" I thought and looked at the owner of the owner sleeping next to me.

　　"Zachary" I narrowed my eyes at him.

　　"I know that you are awake! What do you think that you are doing?" I asked with my hoarse voice and tried to push him away.

　　"And why are you shirtless?" I groaned and tried to push him but to no avail did he even budge.

　　"Zachary!" he didn't even open his eyes. I stopped wiggling and looked at his face. He was sleeping on his belly with the side of his face on the pillow, his hair messy and falling on his forehead, mouth slightly open and anyone in my place would have thought he might be deep in sleep but I knew the truth. He was awake. He is the type of person who wakes up early in the morning without any reason. I looked to the side and read the clock to be eight in the morning.

　　"What is he still doing in the bed?" I thought.

　　"Zachary! Hey! Wake up!" I tried to get myself free from his grip but it looked as if he was tightening his grip knowingly.

　　"What the hell! Ow! Zach- oh my goodness! Okay, I can't breath!" and I smacked on his back using my left free hand.

　　"Zachary!" I pinched on his side.

　　"Ow!" he flinched this time and opened his eyes glaring at me.

　　"Good Morning to you" I smirked and bat my eyelashes sweetly at him.

　　"Will you remove your arms around me? Why are you even in this bed? Do you not own a shirt?" I pushed him but all he did was glaring at me.

　　"What?" I snapped.

　　"Who told you to sleep in the middle of the bed? You could have slept on your side!" he said in his morning husky voice that made me umm.

　　"Well I- Excuse me? You could have taken the other bed!" I stated the obvious.

　　"Oh just shut up and let me sleep. I am tired" he said and closed his eyes.

　　"Well duh sleep who is even denying you not to sleep? Just let me go. Remove your arm from me" I said crossing my arms across my chest.

　　"Zachary!" I snapped when he didn't respond.

　　"Zachary I'm telling you! Remove your arm this instant or I will-"

　　"Or what Juliette?" he mocked me and tightened his grip even more.

　　"O-r-r-r I-I-I will you please remove your arm? I will sleep on my side from next time. I will make sure okay?" I sighed.

　　"Juliette," he said slowly and I looked back at him. His eyes were still closed and he was inhaling and exhaling softly. This was the first time he called my name so softly. Other times he would just scold or snap at me. I felt my heart beat rising instantly. What is happening to me? How does any of this make my heart beat rise?

　　"Uh?" I waited for him to speak.

　　"You are an idiot" he completed.

　　I looked at him with a stoic expression.

　　"What?" I thought.

　　"Zachary!" I snapped and I was ready to kill this asshole of a man this instant.

　　"Get ready!" he said as I watched him buttoning his blue shirt up.

　　"Why?" I asked still laying on the bed holding the pillow close to my chest.

　　"Do what I say Idiot!" he said and went to the wardrobe and got his suit out of it.

　　"Stop calling me an Idiot!" I snapped as I threw the pillow at him which hit him on his back and fell on the floor. I marched up to him and pushed him to the side and took my suitcase which was next to the wardrobe and walked into the bathroom all the way glaring at him while he put on his suit and looked at me weirdly.

　　I took a good shower and brushed my teeth. After I was done I went to my suitcase and pulled out a brown high neck midi length bodycon dress and my black coat out of it. Putting my dress on, I looked at myself in the mirror when I fully ready. I had put on a nude brown colored lipstick with some eyeliner and mascara and I had done my hair into a side fishtail braid. As I got out of the bathroom I saw him ready sitting on a chair in the hall scrolling through his phone.

　　He was wearing a black suit with navy blue button up shirt underneath and black pants, shiny black shoes and his hair as usually sleeked back perfectly.
