Devil's Snare by Sruthionyx (e novels to read online TXT) 📖

The therapy time was done and Alzea walked out holding the kid. She was looking down trying to not slip and collided with someone. Before she could fall, two arms held her upright. She looked at the person to thank them but met with a familiar face “Matt………. what are you doing here?” she asked in excitement.

She was enthusiastic, so Matt smiled, “Nothing Zee, I work here as a clerk, part-time job, making some extra money”.

As he pulled the kid's cheeks, he asked, “Is this the kid you babysit for?” Alzea kissed the little boy on the cheek. "Yes, he is quite handsome, isn't he?"

Because she had not seen Matt in so long, they spent a lot of time talking about schoolwork and other things. Matt always made Alzea laugh, he loved her laughter too. But the two were unaware that someone was watching them with burning eyes; if looks could kill, Matt would have been dead and rotting in the ground by now. After chatting for a while, Alzea bid Matt goodbye and walked toward her car to meet Rafael's snarling gaze.

When Alzea finished sitting in the car, he shut his side of the door hard and began driving. He asked her, "What is your job, Miss Galanis?" While still holding the steering wheel tightly, he asked her, "What do you do?".

Not wanting to anger him, she replied, "Um!! I'm a babysitter, Sir." “It is important to keep in mind that you are on the clock and Silas pays you for doing your job. He is not paying to spend time with every random boy you encounter on the street," he said, slamming the brakes harder.

As tears threatened to fall from her eyes, she wondered why he was so upset with her, considering she does not work directly for him and that he should not care whom she talked to or what she was doing, plus it was only five minutes of his and her time.

She did not respond, so he asked a notch higher, "Answer me".

“He's my friend, sir. We were talking about our assignments due this week”, she said, tears streaming down her cheeks. It's unreasonable and rude of him. “You aren’t employed with me, but I can very well make sure you never get a single job anywhere if I want to, don’t ever repeat this mistake”, he said, starting his car and driving back to the mansion. He wasn’t sure if he was angry at himself or her, was he feeling jealous? Why would he? she is nothing to him.

Alzea entered the mansion with a gloomy face, “what happened Alzea?” asked Paul.

“Nothing Mr. Paul, I am just tired, I want to go home and rest”, she said not wanting to tell Mr. Paul the reason behind her sadness.

Rafael walked into his study banging its door shut. “That bastard, how dare he go behind Sia after I specifically told him not to, he needs a lesson, but before that, you need a lesson Sia and I will teach you a good one tonight”, he said smiling to himself.

Later that evening, Alzea got ready to go home as it had been two days last, she went home. When she was about to head out, Paul walked in and informed her that she had to stay another day. Alzea was cursing her stars for feeling happy too soon that she could go home.

She put the kid down for the night and walked into her room to sleep.

Okay!! Rafael is losing his mind; do you think he will hurt Alzea?
