Chapter 13

Duncan’s P.O.V

“It can’t be her … it just can’t be

How is this possible? She is supposed to be … dead.” He said thinking out loud

…

“Well there is only one way to find out”

*****

When Zonica finaly woke up she noticed that she was in a different room that was vaguely familiar to her. Trying to remember the room and how she got there, she was interrupted by voices coming from the other side of the door

She slowely got out of bed and headded to the door listening to the voices; she recognised Christian’s voice out of the two voices.

The fear that was slowly rising in the pit of her stomack was now turning into imbarresment just to think of the way she acted earlier when she was still half asleep

Nervously she slowly made the rest of the way to the door and rested her hand on the doorknob she hesitate for a second taking a few deep breaths then slowly opend the door.

When the door was halfway open the voices on the other side went qiute, No movements and no breathing

She sighed and was about to close the door again when she froze

Someone was holding the door, preventing her from closing it so she diceded to open it all the way to get a look at who was at the door.

“Christian?” she wisperd

“Yea Zonica … I am right here” he answerd

Zonica looked down not wanting to face Christian when he comes into view and meet the new stranger she opend the door the rest of the way

“Finaly you’re awake … thought I would have to wrestle Christian here to get to meet you” the voice said with a chuckle

Looking up Zonica, saw Christian holding back a man he had blonde hair; wild and partly geld a few directions he is build very buff and muscular and when Zonica met his intense emerald colored eyes she froze again and out of the corner of her eye she could see movement and then Christian was standing next to her and his face so close to her that he sent a shiver down her spine

“Zonica … you’re turning blue again” then he chuckled softly when she gasped for air and her cheeks turned a soft pink wile she looked at her feet trying to hide it.

“Cute” Ivan said with enthusiasm

Christian and Zonica looked at him at the same time.

Ivan had a smug and amused look on his face looking into Zonica’s eyes momentarily hypnotizeing her so she did the only thing she could to break the eye contact between them, she slamed the door shut in Ivan’s face and leaned against the door to catch her breat and clear her head of all the clouds of confusion forming

Just then she heard Christian burst out laughing from beside her and holding onto the wall for balance.She looked at him for a few minutes and then folded her arms over her chest and raising one eyebrow at him waiting for him to tell her what was so funny but didn’t get any response out of him so she steped away from the door and pointed to it, Christian still laughing made his way to the door and she opend it for him to get out but he stoped when he stood in the doorway but started to laugh again even louder than before so she pushed him out the rest of the way and shut the door again

After Christian finaly stoped laughing he looked at Ivan still staring at the door so he reached out his hand and put it on Ivan’s shoulder trying not to laugh again he took a deep breath and released it.

“Now that is a first” he said to Ivan with a lot of amusment in his voice

Ivan turned his gaze to Christian “What is?”He asked

"Well I never thought that I would live long enough to see the day that a door gets slamed in your face” he said still amused

“Besides you’ll have to get past Macalaster first”Christian added in a mater of fact tone

“Macalaster … umph! That puny little man.he’s no match for me.” Ivan said leaning against the wall with his arms across his chest

“It’s not him you should worry about its Soren.he doesnt want any trouble.She is here for protection and to get her life in order and on her feet, she doesn’t need you to mess it all up.

Besides she did you a favour”

“A favour … umph … what favour” Ivan asked in disbelief and full of sarcasm

“Well she’s gonna bruise you ego… and we wouldn’t want that ;now would we”Christian said laughing inwordly knowing that Ivan would see this as a challenge and the fact that Duncan would react because of what he did when we wanted to take her from him and just as he thought Ivan fell for it hook, line and sinker

“What do you mean by that? … That girl bruise my ego …humph” Ivan snorted pointing in Zonica’s direction

“Yes in a matter of fact she will”

“That’s what you think”

“No, that’s what I know”

“What makes you say that?”

“Well … she is one girl that doesn’t like you and slammed a door in your face to prove it and she is one girl that you will never have. Face it you don’t stand a chance” Christian said with a grin on his face

Well we’ll have to see about that” Ivan said and stomped off.
