Tangled Obsession

Authors pov

Florina woke up around 1 pm, sun was already on its peak filling her room with bright light. She rubbed her eyes lazily and leaned against the bedpost. Her whole body was aching. Sebastian was nowhere to be seen and she was relieved seeing that.

Both of them had started terrifying her.

Florina heard sounds from her bathroom and she tensed thinking it might be a Sebastian.

Wrapping the bedsheets tightly around her body she looked at the bathroom door which got open and two maids came out. Florina frowned looking at them thinking what they were doing in her bathroom.

"Miss, we have prepared a bath for you... Mr. King has ordered us too help you..."

One of the maid informed.

"Thank you... I'll do it myself, I want to stay alone..."

Florina replied in her raspy voice, her jaw was still sore.

The maids looked at each other and nodded before leaving her room. Florina got up from the bed and entered the bathroom, Her senses instantly filled with the fragrance of scented oils. The bathtub was filled with warm water and bubbles.

'what is he trying to prove by this aftercare...'

After relaxing bath she was feeling better. Getting ready she head downstairs. Her stomach was already growling with hunger as she has skipped the breakfast.

Catherine was already sitting at the dinning table along with Maria.

"Good afternoon Florina..."

Maria greeted but Florina totally ignored her.

She quietly sat down keeping her face blank and Maria looked at her guiltily.

Florina was feeling Catherine's scrutinizing gaze on her entire time but she refused to look at her. She has learnt her lesson, she shouldn't have trust Maria and she wasn't going to trust cathrine either. She tensed in her seat when Sebastian and vincenzo entered the dinning hall, ignoring each other as always. She shivered in her place when they both kissed her cheeks and sat down beside her. Vincenzo was sitting on left side and Sebastian on right.

Everyone started eating silently and both of them were occasionally glancing at florina who was silently eating her food. She didn't even glanced at them.

"Hey everybody..."

Everyone's head turned towards the masculine voice which was filled with happiness and excitement.

"Matthew..."

Catherine exclaimed and engulfed him in tight hug.

Sebastian and vincenzo clenched their jaw and got alert at the same time which Florina noticed.

"I missed you so much..."

Matthew broke the hug and looked at Catherine lovingly.

Florina was looking at the new member, he was young almost same age as Maria. He had blonde hair to just like Maria has And the facial features were also identical but he was taller and muscular.

"Hello Matthew..."

Maria said boringly.

"Hii... Brat..."

Matthew mocked.

"Don't start now..."
