Chapter 10 Just The Beginning

Rupert pulled his tie irritably. He bit the insides of his mouth as he stared at the moving vehicles outside. He was angry; not at Annabel, but at himself. He regretted trying to strike up a conversation with her. Rupert couldn't figure out why he was so uncomfortable whenever she was silent and ignored him. He should be doing the same since she obviously had no interest in him.

The rest of the ride home was quiet and uneventful.

As soon as the car halted in front of the villa, Rupert got out and went in. Annabel took her time.

By the time she got in, Rupert was already sitting on the sofa in the living room with a glass of water in his hand. She didn't spare him a glance. Instead, she ascended the stairs.

Rupert set the glass on the table with a thud. He grunted like a wounded lion.

Despite the noise, Annabel didn't look back or stop. She continued to walk up slowly.
