Chapter 30
After Stephan was done feeding Dawn, he tucked her in to sleep. It was already late, he threw the left over in the trash. They had barely spoken since Olivia left, Dawn seemed a little distance and Stephan didn't know why.
"Is there anything you want me to do before I leave?" Stephan asked walking back to her as he stood beside her.
Dawn nodded her head in sigh of no, Stephan had done enough for her. Paying the hospital bills, leaving his busy schedule to be here with her. She couldn't ask for anything more.
Matteo and Sarah stepped in and they seemed to be discussing something because from Sarah's expression Dawn could tell that she was pissed off.
"Did you know that Matteo just kissed Olivia?" Sarah announced with folded arms.
"You did what?" Stephan snapped looking at Matteo, he walked up to him pulled him by the arm outside the room.
"What did you do?" Stephan asked as they stepped outside.
"She kissed me," Matteo explained.
"What do you mean she kissed you?"
"She is on to something, probably a game plan to seduce me."
It was definitely a game plan to seduce him, Stephan thought. Olivia didn't even have any shame whatsoever, after things had failed between both of them. She decided to cling to Matteo instead. Couldn't she see that it was unusual and quite obvious that she was fooling around?
Stephan stared at Matteo, he was sure Matteo must have kissed her back and that was what annoyed Sarah
"I will have her arrested."
"Has Dawn agreed to it?"
"For some reason, she is suddenly mad at me. It is pissing me off that she is also suspecting me."
"I don't think so, I think she doesn't like being controlled. You treat her like an egg."
"She is hurt, it's totally normal for me to act this way."
"You call you being sleep deprived for two days normal, I will rather say you love this girl and hence you have turned into a control freak."
Stephan was lost for words was he really behaving like that, well he had done everything for her for the past two days. He didn't allow anyone access to her.
"You should give her some breathing space, she isn't Olivia. She doesn't seem to do well with too much attention."
"Space will only make her go into the hands of another man, she is mine and the contract proves that."
"You are a stubborn goat and she is a stubborn she goat, best couple of the year." Matteo laughed tapping his shoulder with a congratulation look. "Now shall we go inside... Least I forget, Olivia has a deal for us." "What stupid deal?"
"I don't know what it is but i am not going."
"Good"
Inside, Dawn was shocked to hear Olivia kissed Matteo, what was she up to? Dawn wasn't really close with Sarah so she didn't know how to go about asking her what exactly was going on.
How could Olivia do something like that when she had been crying seriously some minutes ago, so she was just acting after all? Dawn knew something was off about her, the way she was behaving. "Is everything alright?" Dawn finally spoke.
"Yes." Sarah replied, she looked at Dawn's bandaged and when she was satisfied with how well Stephan had done it. She took a seat on the couch.
Sarah had noticed Dawn was a little quiet when it came to her, it was getting obvious. Anytime she was in the room, they barely spoke to each other. "You seem not to be free with me, is this about Olivia?"
"Aren't you Olivia's friend?" Dawn didn't know if Sarah was helping Olivia.
"She is my friend I won't deny that but if she is doing something wrong, it is only sensible for me to caution her. You don't expect me to support her in doing something bad."
"So you didn't have a hand in what happened to me?"
"If I had just one of my finger in it, Matteo would have cut my head on behalf of Stephan," Sarah said and Dawn believed it. It was true that Stephan would have done something about the situation.
Dawn informed her about the fact that Stephan was going on a trip, they talked a little about Sarah work in the office and how she was coping, Dawn concluded that although Sarah had a sharp mouth she wasn't a bad person.
"So tell me where you both are going?" Sarah asked changing the topic and staring at both brothers when they finally entered. Stephan stared at Dawn at the sound of that. "Don't look at her, why didn't you both tell me you were going on some business trip. Do I look like a babysitter?"
"I can handle myself if that is the situation." Dawn said, she didn't want to be something they had to toss between themselves like she was a burden.
"It's nothing about you Dawn," Sarah said looking at her then turned back to Stephan "Answer me, do I look like a babysitter?"
"Babe, let's talk outside." Matteo said pulling her by the hand but Sarah smacked his hands off instead.
"What is going on?" Sarah asked again.
"We will discuss that later, it is nothing serious."
"Nothing serious is you both coming back half dead."
"Sarah," Matteo called out sternly this time. He pulled Sarah by the wrist and dragged her out.
"What is she talking about?" Dawn had heard half dead, weren't they going for a business trip. Was something going on that they weren't telling her?
"It's nothing, it's late already. You should be resting not stressing yourself." Stephan said brushing his hand through his hair already stressed out.
"Is it about me? What did you do?"
"Like I said it is nothing, we won't talk about it. Go to bed."
"I demand to know what is..."

"Demand?" Stephan smiled. "Don't say that word again, I don't like it on your mouth. You don't trust me so you have no right to demand anything."
Dawn stared at him as she saw his face had darkened, he looked really angry and even the smile on his face wasn't a friendly one. She remembered this look, it was the same one when he had her kidnapped and when he had forced her to sign that contract.
Stephan stared at her for a bit, he went to turn off the light.
"Stephan," Dawn muttered.
"What is it?"
"Thank you."
"For?"
"For saving me, I appreciate everything you have been doing for me... I will be happy if you tell me what is really going on."
"Like I said..."
"And I do trust you," Dawn confessed. "I am not just used to what is going on."
Stephan stared at her, he walked up to her and sat next to her on the bed. He placed both hands to her cheek and leaned in to kiss her, he slowly nibbled on her lower and upper lips and didn't stop till he felt her slowly opening her mouth to him so she could breathe.
Dawn didn't know how to react to him, she just opened her lips to him and allowed him have his way with her.
He circled his tongue in her mouth and found her tongue. When their tongues met, he heard a low moan escape her lips.
He slowly let go of her lips placing his head on her forehead as they remain like that for some seconds with their eyes closed.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Dawn hadn't expect Stephan to kiss her that way, she was still in shock and found her lips having a tingling sensation. She had even forgotten what she wanted to ask him
"Sarah will keep you safe till I get back," Stephan reassured her.
"I don't want you to arrest Olivia," Dawn said opening her eyes as Stephan did the same removing his head from her forehead. "She is a danger to you," Stephan said.
"She will be if you lock her up," Dawn replied, she stretched her hand and placed it over Stephan's face. She didn't know how to plead with him or how to go about it. Stephan was a very stubborn man and she had seen it first-hand.
"Are you begging me Miss Hemlocks?" Stephan teased her.
"She is my sister, I should be the one deciding what should happen to her. You can keep a close eye on her instead... For now."
"Fine."

"Yes," Stephan said placing his hand over Dawn's hand on his cheek. "Is there anything else you want me to do for you before I leave?"
"No, thank you again for everything."
Stephan took her hand on his cheek and brought the back of the hand to his lips. He placed a kiss on it.
"You will be moved to my penthouse."
" "
"If you agree to it," Stephan added.
"Are you begging me Mr Klar?" Dawn mimicked in Stephan's voice and got a chuckle from him.
"Am asking."
Such a stubborn man.
"I agree."
"You do?" Stephan said this time staring at her in amazement. He thought she would refuse it, he was planning on telling Sarah to keep a close eye on her. "Yes."
"I will have you move now," Stephan said rising to his feet.
"Now?"
"Before you change your mind," Stephan said rushing out leaving Dawn laughing at him.
When Stephan came out he saw Matteo and Sarah kissing each other. This two, he would never understand them.
"How is she?" Matteo asked breaking their kiss.
"Get the guards let's move her now."
"Now?" Sarah said, it was already late why couldn't they wait till morning.
"She agreed."
"You asked her?" Matteo laughed.
"Go and get the men before I shot your mouth off."
"Yes boss," Matteo saluted him and walked out to get the car ready.
