Chapter twenty four


    Oregon


    I stepped out of the penthouse, and my guards stood by my side, walking just behind me. Stephen


    was close to me and he walked elegantly.


    We reached the car and the driver opened it. Then, I entered. "Come inside," I told Stephen, who


    only gave me a smirk and shook his head.


    "I will take the other car. Just go first," he said, but I quickly disagreed, shaking my head.


    "I''m serious. Come inside," I said, and he gave a loud sigh before entering through the back door.


    He sat down and I grinned at him.


    "Happy now?" he asked, and I shrugged my shoulders before looking at the ground.


    The driver entered and started the car before driving off. We were actually going to the hospital


    where Vivian was. When we eventually arrived, I sent a message to the doctor, telling him to bring


    Vivian outside where we were all waiting.


    I also told him to change her clothes after she had washed herself up. Close to an hourter, we


    saw Vivianing out, and she seemed to have a neutral look.


    When her eyes fell on me, a smile spread across her lips. "King Oregon!" she called happily and ran


    to me.


    "Be careful, stop running around so carelessly. What if you suddenly trip?" I asked, ring at her.


    "I will be careful, alright," she pouted and gave a smile.


    "Why are you smiling?" I asked, arching my brows.


    "I''m happy. I feel pleased you came back for me. You even told them to make me look good. It can


    only mean one thing," she said.


    I nced at Stephen, who seemed to be staring intently at us. I cleared my throat and raised my


    eyebrows. "And what could it mean?" I asked.


    "It means you have agreed to my plea! I won''t go back to that dungeon, and neither would I leave


    the penthouse and pack. Isn''t that so?" she asked and chuckled.


    "Indeed," I scoffed, and turned. "Let''s go," I added, and she followed me briskly and quietly.


    I entered the car, which the driver opened, and he quickly opened the back door for Stephen to


    enter. "Sit with him," I told her, and she nodded quietly.


    She entered and sat next to Stephen. The driverter entered and started the car, then began


    driving off.


    "Are you that happy?" I heard Stephen say.


    "Yes," she replied, with an excited tone and nodded. "It''s all thanks to you. I really appreciate it."


    "What? I didn''t do anything," Stephen said.


    "You gave me the chance to meet him. If I didn''t see King Oregon, I would have missed speaking


    with him. I want to thank you again," she said, and Stephen chuckled.


    "It''s fine, and it''s my pleasure as well," he replied.


    I didn''t realize when a smile crept onto my lips. My eyes gently closed as I rested my back against


    the headrest.


    ***


    We finally arrived, and the driver jumped down and opened the door. I got out before he went to the


    next door, opening it immediately for Stephen and Vivian toe out.


    "Thank you," Vivian smiled and bowed to the driver, who only smiled awkwardly.


    "Follow me," I pointed at Vivian, who quickened her pace to stay by my side.


    "So, where are we going?" she giggled. "Oh wait! I guess it''s my room."


    I only rolled my eyes, and Stephen, who was behind us,ughed.


    "That''s girls for you. They get excited at times like this," he said.


    We walked inside, and a woman was just at the door, standing like she was waiting for us. I stopped


    in front of her, and she bowed.


    "Vivian?" I called, and she looked at me.


    "She''s the housekeeper," I started, and Vivian''s face turned sad. Her eyes blinked rapidly as she


    tried to understand what I was talking about.


    "Am I going to be a servant?" she asked, hurtfully.


    "What?" I asked and turned to her.


    "You are going to make me a servant instead, right? That is why you brought me here. I thought you


    would take me as your breeder... I thought..." Her voice trailed off because of how shaky it was.


    "What are you talking about?" I snarled. "This woman is the housekeeper, and she will lead you to


    your room. I''m going out," I said.


    "Oh!" she eximed and chuckled. "I actually thought you wanted me to be a servant. Look at me


    jumping to conclusions."


    I sighed deeply and looked at the woman. "Please take good care of her. Make sure she also eats


    something," I said.


    "I will, King Oregon," she bowed.


    I nodded and turned away. "Let''s go now, Stephen," I said.


    "Wait!" Vivian squealed and ran to me, holding my arm.


    "What? What is it again? Do you realize that you disturb a lot?" I said.


    "I''m sorry, but I can''t help it," she pouted.


    "Whatever. What is it now?" I inquired.


    "Where are you both going?" she asked.


    "You ask a lot of questions!" I said, and her face went sullen. Her warm hand, which was clutching


    onto my arm, dropped, and I sighed, feeling guilty.


    "Fine! I''m going to the gym. I need to work out," I said.


    "Oh, okay," she smiled warmly.


    "Now, you know... I will have to take my leave. Stephen? Let''s go," I gestured to him, and he


    smirked at me.


    We were about to leave again when Vivian held a tiny piece of my shirt with her thumb and index


    finger. "What? Vivian, what is it?" I questioned.


    "When will you be back?" she asked.


    "Soon," I answered.

    "Promise me that you wille see me when youe back," she muttered, her eyes looking


    down.


    I faced Stephen, who was just grinning with his arms crossed on his chest. I carried my gaze away,


    let out a sigh, and finally looked at her.


    "Fine... I promise," I said.


    Vivian looked up at me, and her face beamed radiantly, causing my heart to flutter a little.
