Chapter 19
Maya’s POV-
The door creaked open under the weight of my apprehension. My father sat in his usual armchair, a snifter of brandy swirling in his hand. The fire crackled, casting long, dancing shadows on the walls, but it offered little warmth to the icy knot of fear tightening in my gut.
His gaze snapped towards me the moment I entered. The scowl etched on his face deepened, carving lines of disapproval even deeper into his weathered features.
“There you are,” he rumbled, his voice laced with a dangerous edge,. “About time. I’ve been waiting.”
“I can explain,” Irushed out, the words tumbling from my lips before he could scream at me. Giving him a chance to speak first was a losing strategy, I knew. “It happened so last, and before I knew it, the words were coming out of my mouth.”
The frown on his face deepened, a storm cloud gathering above his narrowed eyes. “What are you going on about now?”
I took a moment to stare at him. He was… calm. Completely uncharacteristically calm. If the news had reached him, he would be exploding in my face by now, Instead, he remained seated, his features locked in a mask of restrained rage which was usual for him.
I would never understand why he was always so angry.

“What are you
“Nothing.” I recovered quickly, forcing a smile, “It was nothing. Why did you ask me to come here?”
He held my gaze, his eyes boring into mine. We both knew I was lying but instead of pushing it, as was his usual tactic, he simply said, “Do you have the documents signed already?”
The question caught me off guard. “You just gave them to me yesterday, father, I reminded him. “I had an interview today. So no.”
“Interview for what?” he asked, a flicker of curiosity momentarily replacing the storm in his eyes.
“A job,” was all I said, yet again, he didn’t push it. My mind raced, wondering what was going on. This uncharacteristic calmness, this lack of his usual interrogatory barrage- it was unnerving.
“Ivan called,” he continued, his voice flat. I froze for a split second, a flicker of panic shooting through me. “Why did he? Did something happen?” “No,” he said, seemingly dismissing the question with a wave of his hand. “He wants you to move in with him. I already sent your things to his place.”
