The Broken Angel & Her Overprotective Brothers-Chapter 292: Stairs Vs Heels
Emily followed Kaiden as they ascended stairs after stairs. The castle was beautiful and full of royal feel that called to her artistic side.
However, she couldn’t deny that she was missing the modern-day elevators considering she was wearing five inches high pencil heels and walking up the stairs. Her feet were almost on fire because of discomfort.
"Are you alright?" Kaiden suddenly asked as he stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her. His cerulean blue eyes studied her tentatively to see if she was okay or not.
"Can I be honest?" Emily asked as she looked at him with her eyebrows arched high as she waited for his response. She caught sight of a barely noticeable twitch on his lips as Kaiden nodded his head in affirmative.
"If you say so. No, I’m not alright at all. Take a look at my heels and then at your never-ending stairs. Aren’t you torturing me?" She didn’t hold back at all while complaining and noticed as the slight twitch bloomed into a small smile as Kaiden closed the distance between them and came to stand right in front of her.
"I’m so sorry, angel. It’s my fault, we should have taken the elevator." Kaiden said as he kneeled down to take a look at her feet.
Emily stared at her mate with a dumbfounded look on her face as she asked, "There’s an elevator here?" She didn’t try to hold back her surprise at all.
Kaiden stood up to face her as he nodded his head. "Yeah, actually two. But I was too occupied in my thoughts to think about them. How about this? I’ll help you to climb the rest of the stairs."
"How?" Emily asked as she felt his wrapping one of his hands around the back of her shoulders. Even though she had asked him what he meant by helping her, she has already picked the meaning behind his words. "Maybe not. I think I’ll manage just... KAIDEN!"
Emily had to hurriedly wrap her arms around his shoulders to balance herself as the man suddenly whisked her into his arms without any warning. "What are you doing? Put me down!" She whispered shouted into his ear but the man completely ignored her protest as he started climbing the stairs while carrying her in his arms bridal style.
"Why should I? It’s not like I get such rare chances often." Kaiden responded shamelessly as he skipped through the stairs as if he was walking through the clouds.
"But there are people here. What if they saw us?" Emily still didn’t give up. The feeling of being watched was not leaving her and it only caused her more embarrassment. Though she wasnt shy of PDA, her current situation was quite different.
"Then just let them see." Kaiden responded in a calm tone as he continued to walk in the direction of their destination.
Emily became silent when she realized that there was no point in saying anything to her mate, the man wasn’t going to listen to her. So, she just decided to accept her fate and calmed down. Besides, she couldn’t deny that she felt more than perfect in his arms.
"Where are you taking me?" She asked as they finally stopped climbing stairs and appeared in a long hallway.
There was a shine in Kaiden’s eyes as he placed her down but kept his arms wrapped around her waist. "You will find out soon, but before that, I want you to change and get ready. I picked the dress myself."
He led her into the room closest to them and Emily found a big gift box sitting on the bed with a couple of other shopping bags beside it.
"I’ll be back in an hour. There’s everything in here that you will possibly need but if you still want something, just call me." Kaiden informed her as he placed a kiss on her forehead before leaving the room, closing the door behind him.
Emily walked towards the bed and picked up the gift box that probably contained the dress that Kaiden had chosen for her. As she opened it, she found that her guess was right. Inside the box was a velvet black evening gown.
The other bags contained a box of high heels, undergarments, cosmetics, toiletries (the ones that she liked to use), jewelry, and a bottle of custom-made perfume.
Emily wasnt sure how to feel. While a part of her was in awe of all the items that he chose according to her liking, the bigger part of her brain was astounded at the thought of the millions that Kaiden had spent on her. She would have been more happy if he had just wired the same amount to her instead of spending it for buying things that she already had more than enough in her stock.
"Nevermind. Since this is the first time he has gifted me such things, I’m gonna cherish them." She muttered to herself as she collected the toiletries and headed towards the bathroom.
She took her time in the shower and then spent some more time in blow drying her hair before she finally came out of the bathroom and started getting dressed.
The gown fit her perfectly as if it was tailor made for her. Since it was a sleeveless dress with only two thin strips over her shoulders, it left her arms totally exposed. But that wasn’t all, the V-neck of the dress ended up exposing a little bit of her cleavage and the fact that the dress had a deep back was also surprising to her. She couldn’t believe that Kaiden picked such a revealing dress for her.
Realizing that she was running out of time, Emily hurriedly dud her makeup, put on the heels and the jewelries, and then finally brushed her long brown hair and left them loose.
The last thing that she added was the perfume and as soon as she was done, she heard the knock on the door.
