Aaliyah Pov.

I gently walked into Clark's room so as not to wake him up but he was actually awake which made me wonder why he was wide awake and staring into nothing less.

The Time had gone before I could get a good job for myself and I was now tired.

"Where are you coming from?"

My heart shook as I heard that calm soothing voice coming from the crippled man's side.

I stood there, in shock and disbelief. I glared at him, puzzled about what was going on.

Wait, what just happened?

Did I just hear him speak?

"Have you suddenly lost your voice? Where are you coming from, woman?!" I heard that cold voice and I freaked..

"You can talk?" I asked instead and I could see his face darkened.

"I simply asked you a question and you would answer. Isn't it as simple as this!" He asked, his voice now up in anger.

"I want to see my mother and after that I headed to my father's house." I said and for the first time, I heard him snickered.

"You think I'm stupid? Look over here Aaliyah, I don't know what you are playing at or trying to do, but it won't work at all."

I stood there, trying to understand his words

"I don't understand what you mean."

"Don't you dare act like you are a naive lady. You have gone to meet him again right?" He asked and I was more confused.

I was perplexed. "Met who? Can you atleast be open and stop the confusion." I pleaded and he sneered.

"Aaliyah, all I just want from you is to get lost from this house because whatever your plan is. It won't work. Not a bit of it." He laughed and turned his back to sleep.

"Which plan? Which person? I don't understand what you are talking about here. I'm confused and you could at least do me a favor by saying whatever it is. I'm dead confused."

"Your plans won't work on me. Just get out of there!" He spat out with hatred in his tone.

That night, I had many thoughts running down my head, till the morning and now it was evening I was still thinking about his words.

They gave me sparks in my spine. All I just wanted was for him to understand that I didn't do anything and I am not planning anything bad for him but he wouldn't even listen.

“Ma'am Aaliyah. The Elder Master calls for your attention." One of the maids said and I nodded before walking to his room.

I had gone far away from his room since yesterday night. I didn't want his trouble.

"Who's Harry to you?" He asked once I got in and I went frozen.

Why the sudden question.

No one knew he could talk except me which made me wonder why he didn't ask me to keep my mouth shut even when he had thought I was a spy or something.

Since he asked, there was nothing more to hide than just be opened. "Harry is my ex boyfriend"

He narrowed his eyes at me and snickered. "Ex boyfriend? The tag; you actually just denied your boyfriend just because of you both plans ahead. Stupid tactics." He scoffed and gestured to me to feed him his coffee.

"Harry isn't my boyfriend and I don't hold anything against you so why would I plan for you?" I was surprised at his words and tried earning his trust but it was effortless.

"Shut up woman. Don't feed me with your saliva."

I didn't know he was this mean. To think he looked soft and cool when he was in coma but now he was in control and could do what he wanted.

"Just want you to know that, you are daring someone to that I am sure you wouldn't want to mess with. I have my eyes on you so if you decide to act smart, you will be dealt with.''He raised his eyebrows to get my reaction to his statement..

Was that supposed to be a threat or what? Why does he even think of me as a spy ? But still take things from me?

So unbelievable. "No more late night, if you are my wife!"He announced and I slowly raised my eyes up. Was he finally admitting to the wife part? Has he finally considered the part where I become his wife?

"Go against my words and I would make your life a living hell in this house. Believe me or not. I'm the worst nightmare you could ever imagine." He threatened again and I scoffed.

Really? Was he saying this just to scare me? How would he make it like a living hell for me with his situation?

Funny funny funny!

I laughed between myself and he suddenly spoke again like he heard what I was discussing with my inner mind.

"Wondering so much how I would do that? Let's watch and see. You can as well stay today."He played with his wheel hand.

"....."

I just stood there speechless at his words. He really had his way with words.

"Get me out of here to the garden with another well prepared coffee. The one sent is finished and I need more of this." He requested with cold eyes.

I wanted to ask why he kept the secret of him being able to talk to himself without telling his mother but I held it back in.

I might get beaten hard with this type of question. It was better not to be suspicious than ask questions and get suspected.

I walked him out of the room and headed down the stairs when Harry came in. His eyes fixated on me like I was his target.

"I see someone is taking a stroll out." He sneered but I didn't reply to him.

"We want to have some quiet time Aaliyah, you can leave. After all he's my brother." I could see the way he snorted with pure evilness in his eyes.

"No way.”
