Pale was Molly's face.
She gazed at Brian who was ahead of her, forcing her to draw back each step of the way.
She kept adjusting backwards until something had blocked her behind.
Biting her lip, she glared at Brian - she was dismayed.
He stopped, standing less than one step away from her, staring at Molly. Calmly he quipped,"You must be curious about why you're here, huh?"
Molly was pursing her lips, trying to hide her emotions while staring at Brian rather coldly.
For some reason, Molly's coldness calmed Brian down a bit. He smiled at her as he told her to never leave the villa unless it's for work at the casino. Molly's eyes widened in surprise but Brian kept talking,"You parents, Daniel... I have control over all of them. If you don't behave and do as I say, it might make me unhappy. And who knows what could happen to them if I become unhappy."
Molly couldn't believe and it showed - in her eyes, her trembling body, her quivering lips. She was glaring at Brian as if she was going to burn him alive.
This only amused Brian but he didn't show that, he never did. "And you will live here as my maid." He turned to the Molly as he said this.
Brian turned around, hands in his pockets, and went upstairs pausing only for a moment to check Molly's reaction. She was obviously in shock and could not move, still trying to process what Brian had just said.
It wasn't after a considerable amount of time when Molly snapped out of it. She took her phone out to text Steven only to get no response back. She tried to call him but no answer too.
Molly was starting to get angry. She eyed the study room and how the door was half open.
Molly tried with all her might to contain her anger but she could only take so much. Soon enough, she stormed into the study room without knocking. Brian was taken aback at Molly storming into his study room. For a while, he wasn't saying anything.
"Where are your manners?" Brian asked coldly. Brian's voice was deep and guttural, his face dimmed with anger.
At first, Molly was scared and was about to apologize. But she remembered why she was there in the first place. She typed on her phone, furiously,"What have you done with my family?" Molly held it up so Brian could read the message.
Brian checked her phone, then answered coldly,"Don't worry. I won't do anything to them as long as you do as I bid." Brian read it,"Don't worry. I won't do anything bad as long as they obey me," he said rather harshly.
