THE RULES

"God this is magnificent," Hadley exclaimed looking around the penthouse and Maurice creased his eyebrow in surprise.

Why does she look so excited over a penthouse? I do not think I ever remember Gilbert being short on money so what is going on with their princess acting like a puppet, Maurice pondered.

"God look at this amazing city view," Hadley jumped in excitement skipping to the glass window that showed the full view of the city below and she couldn't help but yelp in excitement.

A/N: Ok, the countryside's much, she is so obvio.

The night was complemented with the bright illuminated moon and the city street light accompanying the magnificent view and Hadley couldn't help but exclaim in excitement because of the amazing view.

"OMG these rich people really know how to spend money," Hadley exclaimed happily not knowing she said it out loud but a voice behind her froze her immediately.

"Rich people? I do not remember Gilbert being poor," Maurice says looking at the girl that had decided to take on the form of a statue of liberty.

Hadley's head was in serious dilemma as she heard Maurice's words. 

What have you done, Hadley? How could you get flustered and say that out loud," Hadley scolded herself in her head and Maurice waited for the girl's explanation.

If it was another day that the cold Maurice doesn't care he would have not given a damn about the girl but this girl in front of him seems off. She is not like the girl he had heard off.

Ella Gilbert definitely does not look like this and maybe doesn't act like this.

"This place just really looks great and moreover since it is your place, I should compliment it right?" Hadley says lying through her teeth hoping the man in front of her would believe it.

Maurice stared long and hard at the woman that was looking everywhere but not him and he smirked not saying anything.

"What was that? He asked me a question but he just walked away," Hadley says glaring at Maurice's retreating back.

"He is arrogant," Hadley thought but her eyes turned crazy immediately. "But he is handsome," she says, biting her lips naughtily.

Living in the countryside for a long time has not really be helpful because she got amazed by a lot of things and maybe also help a lot of people she should not have trust.

"Where am I going to sleep?" Hadley pondered looking around the large bedroom and she settled her eyes on the big bed.

She doesn't know why the bed seems so tempting at that time but she felt herself longing for a jump on it.

"Of course Mr Elliot would not be so petty to want to share the bed with me," Hadley says, bouncing on the soft bed and she exhaled softly when her back landed on the bed.

She had always shared a bed with her mother growing up back in the countryside but laying on the soft bed was enough to send comfort through her soul.

Hadley's breathing almost turned soft as she slowly drifted into the Dreamland but a cold voice interrupted her peaceful breathing.

"What are you doing?" Maurice's cold voice inquired and Hadley jolted out of her sleep wondering if the world was coming to an end but instead of seeing the building crashing she saw Maurice's stony face.

"Ok what have I done this time?" Laura pondered looking at the man in front of her.

Maurice knew it was pointless talking to the woman but he doesn't why he wanted to say everything to her. He just wanted to let her know that she doesn't belong anywhere and it is not why he has to make that statement known.

"I don't know what this looks like to you but it's obvious I am trying to catch some sleep," Hadley says, shrugging her shoulders, slumping back on the bed but the man looked so pissed.

"Get up!!" Maurice roared and that jerked Hadley up from her bed in fear.

Why is this man behaving like a volcano? Hadley pondered looking at the man that seemed like he was ready to pounce on her.

"I would be the one sleeping in the bed since I can not sleep anywhere else without feeling uncomfortable," Maurice says, and Hadley looked at him like he had lost some screws in his head.

"I never see a man like this," Hadley blurted before she could stop herself but the man just snorted, giving her the looks.

Hadley knows there is nothing she can do except to leave the bed for him since her father has make don't cause trouble with his anthem.

Hadley breathes in and out trying to calm her nerves and she decided to make her way out of the bed but her legs got tangled with the sheets and she immediately lost her balance and she was sent flying to the ground but Hadley saw Maurice standing upright and she had a tiny of hope, he was going to help her.

Maurice saw the woman falling towards him and his head raised a danger alarm, she couldn't touch him he had to move out of the way.

"Pah," the loud sound of Hadley crashing to the ground as Maurice stepped away from Hadley. 

"Ahhh ahhh," Hadley let out an ear-deafening scream as she satiated on the pain that the fall impacted on her.

She raised up her head as she glared at the man that could have helped her.

"You this asshole!! Who in the world let a person fall when they could have helped except a crazy PSYCHOPATH!!" Hadley shrieked, throwing her composure out of the window and her breath felt ragged because of the strenuous activity she just engaged in.

Fuck her father's lecture she so much wanted to yanked the rude man's hair, Hadley thought as she glared at him.

Maurice's expression looks ghastly as he hears Hadley's outburst. How could a lady of an aristocrat be so unruly, Maurice pondered as his nose flamed up in anger.

"Are you this angry because I didn't help you?" Maurice asked through gritted teeth wanting to be petty and Hadley snorted.

"Then I think I should lay down some rules for you," he said and Hadley wondered what the man was up to.

What rules?" Hadley stood up from the floor as she looked into the man's eyes which in return lead to Maurice taking some steps back because of the closeness and Hadley almost lose it.

"Don't touch my things, stay at least 3 meters away from me ,and most importantly don't touch me," Maurice bellowed, and Hadley was taken aback by what he said.

She shouldn't have touched him?

That was hella of rules.
