Nights Like This

P.O.V
Angelina

I think today was my seventh day here, making it a week without any contact with my sister.

The days went by fast —shockingly— but I still felt bored out of my mind. I didn't do anything, everything just repeated itself, I woke up, eat breakfast, go back upstairs, go to the garden to see the dogs —sometimes at least— go down for dinner, then repeat.

Angelo had been busy lately, so there was no gym for the past few days.

Kratos actually isn't as bad, he just sleeps half the time while I talk to Kane about my personal life, and he listens very attentively. I mean he's a dog.

Talking about Kratos, the bite mark is healing very well, only problem I had with it so far was that one night when I slept on my hand, and let's just say it didn't end well.

When Angelo and Ivan found out I got bit from the dog, they were actually disappointed in me, yes ME, supposedly I should've listened to Maksim and not go near them.

Apparently, Kane and Kratos were guard dogs, since they had lack of security, but once they got more security and people to protect them and protect the house, they just left them in their cage. Occasionally they would feed them, but they were still violent.

But now that I am here, they don't have to worry about feeding them anymore, because I can do it myself.

I woke up a little later than usual today, and when I walked downstairs the house was empty and quiet. Vera was supposed to be here this morning. I guess I missed her.

I walked into the kitchen, and saw two pancakes on the counter with a note next to it, it read,

You slept really late today, so I left two pancakes on the island for you, if you wake up and they're gone well you know who ate it! Bye.

—Vera.

After I had my breakfast, Maksim told me that I wasn't allowed outside today. And I don't even know why, even when I asked him a million times he didn't answer my question.

But if I can't go outside today, I'll just go in rooms I'm not supposed to go in. Since I followed the rules already, the only rooms I saw was Nicolas's office and bedroom, and I wasn't allowed in any.

Besides they're so many other rooms I hadn't gone in, and if I went into Nicolas's office and bedroom, I was practically allowed anywhere. (I think)

I explored every room, until they was one left. In the previous rooms, I found a very fancy and cozy library, filled with bookshelves and books, most of the books looked new and untouched. I also discovered a theater, it was beautiful, they was a huge tv screen and lots of chairs. Then I went in and out of bedrooms, most of them were the guys and some were just guest rooms or just extra rooms.

But the last room I'm currently contemplating on opening is Nicolas office. Yes I went in here before, but did I walk around, no I didn't, and I so desperately wanted to be able to walk around. So I opened the door.

It was the same as how I saw it last time, nothing changed, it was still neatly arranged.

Walking further in, I left the door open behind me, just in case I have to run out.

The room is dimly lit, with his desk filled with files and documents. The air feels heavy with secrecy and anticipation. I tiptoe around, careful not to make a sound, exploring the office that I'm not supposed to be in. Although no one was home, I was still scared shitless.

I finally made it behind his desk, I opened random drawers, just finding more paperwork, as I was about to open another one, I saw two similar sticky notes that was stuck at the edge of his desk, one read,

Allergies = tomato's

And the other read,

8:43 p.m

I just stood there staring at the same two sticky notes.

I know I shouldn't have come in here.

Just as I was about to close the drawers I had opened, I heard footsteps coming from down the hallway and that's when I started to panic.

I closed the drawer as fast as I could, and sprinted towards the door.

But I didn't even make it out the door, before I slammed into someone, causing me to fall back.
