“I’m done.”

“What now?”

“Drop me on the counter. I will rinse my mouth from there.”

“Really, Chloe? Why didn’t you sit there to brush?” he asked, getting pissed.

“I never thought about it.” I shrugged coolly and rinsed my face and my mouth, but I was grinning in my head.

He didn’t wait for me to dry my face; he carried me back to the room.

He stood in front of me with his hands tucked in his front pockets. I could tell he didn’t like this one bit.

“Anything else?” he asked.

“Can you fill the bathtub for me? I like it warm,” I said with a grin.

He nodded and left the room. I thought of how to get into the bathtub without his help, but it seemed impossible since I couldn’t walk.

I wished I had Vina here to help me take a bath. I could allow him to put me in the tub with my clothes on, but I would have difficulties taking them off since I had been advised not to put my feet in water.

“Done,” Tristan said, walking back into the room.

“Um … so this is what we’re gonna do. You’re going to keep your eyes closed as you help me into the bathtub.”

“How do you expect me to see where I’m going?”

“I don’t know.” I shrugged.

“Why don’t I call my mom to come and help?” he suggested.

I was uncomfortable with the idea, but it wasn’t like I had a choice.

“Okay.” I nodded.

“Do you need anything else before I leave to call her?”

“Can you pass me my pajamas? It’s in the black suitcase.” I wasn’t sure. I suspected Ciara had packed my things. The bitch couldn’t wait to see me leave.

I needed to unpack these suitcases, but I couldn’t stand on my feet yet.Do I even need to unpack if I’m leaving soon?

He walked to the black suitcase. I watched him unzip it, and my eyes grew wide when I saw my underwear and bras scattered at the top. I turned my face away and pretended to be looking for something on my nightstand.

Really, Ciara?

“It’s not in the black suitcase.” I heard him say. He sounded like he wasn’t bothered.

“Oh, okay. Thank you for your services. I will take it from here,” I said, not looking at him.

“What are you looking for?” he asked.

“My crystal earrings.”

“You’re wearing them.”

I paused and nodded.

“Good night,” I said with a firm smile.
