  The next day at breakfast, I couldn't contain my giggles when I saw a groggy looking and I'm-going-to-fall-asleep-any-second-now-so-don't-piss-me-off Ethan.
  He still hadn't noticed me sitting silently at the table when he walked in rubbing circles under his eyes. He looked tired and as if he hadn't slept at all. That was pretty obvious from the bags under his eyes and him yawning twice every minute.
  His eyes fell on me a minute later and he jabbed an accusing finger in my direction.
  &quot;You little-&quot;
  &quot;What?&quot; I quickly cut him off before he could call me something unpleasant, widening my eyes innocently. &quot;What did I do?&quot;
  &quot;You very well know what you did,&quot; he growled, lowering his finger.
  I stayed silent, struggling to not let hysterical giggles escape my lips.
  He narrowed his eyes at me. &quot;You owe me a phone,&quot; he stated.

  &quot;Ethan called, he said he wouldn't be able to make it to the dinner tonight,&quot; Charlotte announced at the dinner table, just as I took my seat.
  &quot;Poor boy, he works himself so hard. He should take a break every now and then,&quot; Mr. Jenson commented.
  Oh?please,?I thought.?If?only?you'd know?the?reason?of?his?absence, then you'd?like?to?retract?your?statement?of?him?working?hard.?He?must?probably?be?snogging?Heather?or?Carissa?or?whoever?the?hell he?had?a?date?with.
  I watched the servants lay down our plates in front of us and prepare to serve us.
  I narrowed my eyes at a fish curry.?Or?maybe?he?was?going?around?thrusting?his?little?baby?making?stick?in?unwanted?places.
  I made a disgusted expression, my mind filling with unholy images, which were definitely not needed at the dinner table.
  That was the problem with rich people. They acted like they owned the wor

  After dinner, I immediately went up to my bedroom and told Olivia to do the same. I didn't want Ethan to get suspicious of our plans if he found us lurking around the house late at night. I stayed up in bed until one in the morning. I was sure Ethan wouldn't sleep soon and I knew he was tired so he wouldn't sleep too late either.
  I kept myself alert for any sounds of doors closing near my room which would indicate he was in his bedroom. And precisely so, I heard a door close shut softly at around half past midnight. I gave him about half an hour after that to sleep as I was pretty sure he wouldn't immediately go to sleep. Once it was about twenty past one, I jumped off the bed and landed softly on the carpeted floor on the balls of my feet.?Oh,?the?things?I?do?for?him.?I'm?sacrificing?my?beloved?sleep?to?get?back at him.
  I softly cracked open my bedroom door to see his was closed.

  &quot;What?&quot; I asked, genuinely curious now.
  &quot;You are the reason why my phone is proba
