Chương 13: ...WHAT DID I EVER DO?

NOW THE Harper's were very much known around the world for their fame, wealth and power.

Every corner, every town, every city, every province or county, every country. The Harper's name were very much known.

Now it was a surprise that he crash landed here and his kid saviour doesn't even show any reaction but then starts acting like he doesn't exist in the world and is just a common stranger.

Now that's highly suspicious.

As Sebastian thought about this he scooped the last spoon of food into his mouth. He stood up and absentmindedly dropped the plate in the kitchen sink

He went back to the room and got his meds which he gulped down with a cup of water.

Just as he took a step forward, the cup fell from his hand and he staggered forward holding his aching head.

"Sh*t". He groaned painfully.

It doubled again and he went on his knees, holding his head as he grunted.

Slowly, the pain died down and he steadied himself.

Must've been side effects from the accident. The bad thing is, he didn't even get a proper treatment.

Slowly he made his way to the room where he fell on the bed and began to sleep.

IT WAS already evening time when Isabella came in. She dropped her bag on the couch and got herself a cup of water which she drank immediately.

Then she made her way to the room and found Sebastian sleeping. Not wanting to disturb him, she slowly and carefully tip toed to the wardrobe where her work shift calendar was.

She had to confirm the exact time she would be going for this last shift because it was just recently changed.

She made her way to the wardrobe quietly unaware that she was being watched.

She opened the wardrobe slowly not wanting to make any noise given how old the wardrobe was it would make a creaking sound.

She took out her work shift calendar and began to access it. Just as she turned her face met with a hard surface.

She gasped as she looked up to see Sebastian who was staring down at her. This time not blankly, she could see the look of disdain in his eyes.

"You..you..". She stuttered

"I knew, I knew you couldn't be trusted". Sebastian muttered as he came close.

Isabella instinctively moved back, touching the wardrobe.

"Wh.. what'd you mean?" She asked confusedly.

Sebastian nodded towards the paper she was holding.

"What is that?" He asked

Isabella frowned. "What...what are you talking about?"

"Don't try to lie to me. Because I see no reason why you would move that quietly in your own home, except you're hiding something". Sebastian snapped.

"I'm not hiding anything? I just didn't want to wake you.."

Sebastian snatched the paper from her roughly, his fingers scraping her skin.

Isabella winced as she moved her gaze to her already red hand, she looked up in an attempt to scold him but he already left the room.

Getting to the living room, she found him looking at the paper weirdly.

He turned and his eyes met with her's. This time they were filled with disgust.

Isabella was confused as to how or why he looked at her that way.

Sebastian raised the paper. "You work at a club?" He scoffed, "I can't believe this.."

Isabella froze at his words, they seemed to pierced through her very soul. It became clear why he looked at her that way. Did he, did he think...

"... of all places I had to fall in this dump and in the hands of a pretentious strip..."

PAH!!

Isabella's palm flew to his face, directly smacking him on his delicate cheek.

Sebastian's face turned to the side and his cheeks turned red instantly. He turned to her, reading to blast her with words but stopped

"Is... Is she crying? He spoke inwardly.

Tears flowed down her cheeks repeatedly as her beautiful brown eyes turned red.

"What... What did I ever do to you?" She asked amidst tears.

Sebastian blinked.

"I never did anything to you. Not once. I don't even know you but still when I found you (sniff) when I found you by the shore, you were nearly dead". She stopped to clean her cheek but the tears still flowed down.

"You, a complete stranger, someone I've never met. But I chose to help you because I'm stupid and naive. Even still, I tried everything I could to nurse you back to life. Even if I didn't have enough." (sniff)

Sebastian just stood frozen

"The only thing you, the only thing you ever did was ignore me and snap at me. You look at me in disdain and anger when I've clearly done NOTHING WRONG!". Isabella raised her voice this time, her fingers grabbed a fistful of her hair.

"What did you say; Poor, dumpster, a pretentious stripper. That's what you think of me?" She muttered, "You think I'd sell my body and pride just to gain money?"

Isabella scoffed. She moved back as she cleaned her cheek, her eyes had turned blank this time.

"You.. you're just like everyone else. And I don't care anymore". With that said, she hurriedly carried her bag and left the house.

Sebastian stood motionless as every single word rang in his ear. His hand tightened on the paper he was holding and he gritted his teeth.
