Chapter 43 A FAVOR
43 A FAVOR
All she heard was a buzzing sound that meant nothing at all. She wanted to know what she is and what Belinda meant with what she said about her earlier. But, couldn't bring herself to ask Torak to let her in, she still didn't have that kind of courage to ask anything from him.
But, curiosity got the best of her. And here she was, lying prone on the cold floor for the sake of finding out what was discussed inside the room.
Unfortunately for the curious girl, the door was too thick to let her hear and find out about the information she was seeking.
By now she had been in the same position with her black hair scattered all over her face and floor for fifteen minutes with no result.
The moment she couldn't feel her foot because theyturned numb and her neck nowhad stiffen after a while resting in an uncomfortable position, Raine decided to give up when the door suddenly swung open.
She could feel blood streamed from her head down to her toes, that made her face became paler than she already was.
From behind the door, Raphael was standing tall, looking down at her with curious gaze. "Raine, what are you doing?" He asked after a moment of silence.
Raine was caught red handed. She was frightened, silly enough to the point where she forgot to stand up. Her eyes froze guiltily on Raphael shoes.
A little while later, Torak was crouching down and lifted her in his arms.
"We will discuss this later." He said as he strode back inside the room.
Raphael, Calleb and Belinda walked out, leaving the two of them behind the closed door.
This was the second time, Raine was inside Torak's study room. Like most of the part of the floor, this one also has the same tone color, white and golden.
Torak sat down on his leather chair with Raine on his laps, the girl was too afraid to lie down on his chest like she usually did as her back turned rigid.
"Were you eavesdropping, my love?"
Torak's voice was devoid from anger and the endearment word was still there, which encourage Raine to lift her head and peeked at him through her long eyelashes.
Guilty feeling rushed over Raine's body, even the sparkle from her back where Torak caressed soothingly, couldn't help it.
As she looked at Torak, whose expression was still calm and filled with concerned for her, she nodded her head eventually.
"I will not say that I agree with what you did." Torak lifted her chin, so their eyes were on the same level. "But, I prefer for you to tell me what you truly want, instead of going around behind my back."
He was used to with her presence nearby and ever since she arrived, his floor filled with her scent only. Torak would have known, if it was somebody else who had eavesdropped his conversation by their scent, but because it was Raine, he wasn't aware about this.
"Alright?" If it were someone else, he would have punished them severely. However, this is Raine, his mate. No matter what, he wouldn't ever be able to bring himself to scold her. Let alone to punish her.
Raine nodded, she knew that she was safe with him, but the authority that reeked from him made the girl shivered. His presence alone was demanding other people to comply.
"My love…" Torak sweetly called her as he wiped away a single tear from her rosy cheek. "I am not angry with you…" He leaned in and kissed away a second tear.
Looking at her, who started crying, made him feel somewhat bad that it broke his heart to see her cry. His authoritative nature shattered along with the beads of her tears that streaking down her cheeks.
Raine took Torak's phone from his front jacket pocket and typed something.
[I am sorry.]
"I know you are… come here." Torak placed his palms behind her back and shoulder and pulled her closer to his chest.
He smelled her unique scent as Raine rested her head on the curve of his shoulder, she was sobbing without sound.
"My love… will you do me a favor?" Torak asked after he felt Raine had stopped crying.
