Dominant

Chapter Eighty-Seven

Swimming out of the water, I wiped the water on my face.

"Whoo! Wasn't that fun?" Liz asked me cheekily and I laughed. I totally forgot she's so old. How come she can move and act like a girl in her early twenties?

"I nearly forgot that you're old" I commented as I sat at the edge of the pool, dripping wet.

"What? You're thinking that I act younger than my age that makes you forget I am old?" She asked and I nodded, laughing. I guess her plan worked to cheer me up.

"Oh you naughty child!" She splashed some water at me while I just laugh at her.

Two guys, passed by to go to the garage and Liz called them up.

"Dan! Sam! Pool party!" She called out and both of them gave her a weird look, I gave her that look too of course. She's a weird but amazing woman. No wonder she can endure Zach. Talking about Zach...

Snap out of it, Lex! Don't think about that yet.

Both guys looked at me as if to ask permission and I gave them a smile. Both of them shared excited looks before dropping what they're holding and running to the pool. I laughed.

"There should be drinks" the brown haired guy said.

"And snacks" the blonde one continued with a goofy smile.

"I'll go get it" I volunteered but someone beat me to it. "I'll go. What do you guys want me to bring?" Janet appeared with her hands behind her.

Something nagged at me but I brushed it off, not letting it to ruin my temporary joy.

"Drinks and snacks" was all the guys say before she is off, putting her hands in front of her. Something shiny glimmered in her hands but I just thought it must be a trick of the light.

After a while of swimming with Janet's constant flirting with the Sam guy which is the brown haired one and is not far from her age, they finally dispersed going back to their work.

Being last to get out of the pool, I grabbed the bathrobe from the tanning chair. Going back to the chair where I left my clothes, my necklace is missing.

"Liz? Liz! Dan? Sam!" I called out as Dan emerged from the kitchen.

"Yes ma'am?" He asked as he avoided looking at me.

"First of all, call me Lex and second, did you see any jewelry around?" I asked and he frowned in confusion.

"What jewelry exactly ma-I mean, Lex?" He corrected himself.

"It is a necklace with pure white pearl and a royal pendant. Can you please help me find it?" I asked and he nodded.

"I'll inform the others" he said before leaving.

Heading up the stairs with Dan's voice calling Sam and the others, my heart jumped in my throat when the door to our room is unlocked. I expected it to be locked but of course it didn't happen.

Pushing the door open, my heart practically lurched in my throat. The bedsheets are torn and thrown. The walls have cracks in it in various sizes, blood smudging all over. Shuddering, is Zach that angry to me? Then...was it possible that...he'll still be angry at me when he comes back?
