Hope stayed rooted to her seat, she felt like her soul was getting crushed and mixing in her heart, her mind completely blank while her fingers twitched to slip in the back of Varys' head, clutch his hair and press his mouth against hers even harder.
A few seconds later Varys slowly pulled himself back hesitatingly. His eyes came down to meet hers while her tongue slipped out to lick her lower lip, suddenly feeling parched as hell.
"Varys," she whispered softly, unable to fathom what to say to him.
A moment of realization passed between them, both knew what they wanted, both knew that they had feelings deeper than of friendship between them, but both of them were afraid to voice the words aloud.
But then instead of saying anything, both of them leaned towards each other at once, like magnets getting attracted without control. Their hands found their way in the back of heads, their mouths landin
The hours passed by and then there were sounds of gunshots, loud yelling, and screams. Hope started shivering. She knew something was wrong, in fact, everything felt wrong in that moment. Her heart was in a panic. She could not dare lift up her head and look out from the window of the car. She wanted to go and find Varys, she could feel the panic throbbing inside her. But she did not want to get him in trouble, she did not want to become a liability and she did not know what the hell was going inside that house. All she knew was that there was some really scary shit going on inside the house and Varys and his family were in danger.Her hands fumbled to find her mobile phone and thankfully, after much struggle of trying to hold it in her fumbling fingers, she managed to dial 911.*****Before the Police came, the gunshots had stopped and the house had gotten covered in silence. Earlier there had been sounds of shouting, gro
3 Days LaterMax had broken through his every contact, every favor to gain access to the inside barrier of undergrounds but there was no trace of Hope. He could not even trace the car number to the end of the ground hole. His frustration and anger had shot up to the head, his mind was ready to explode.He was afraid for her safety, each day was spent in trying to c
Hope was awestruck. The erratic beats of her heart increased even more. She did not know how she recognized him immediately, but she did. His face had changed a lot, matured with age and his body had strengthened with muscles. He stood taller than her, his eyes holding the same look that she was so used to seeing for herself. There was a ruthlessness in his gaze, but his eyes were gentle as they stared at her."V... Varys?" She breathed.
There had been times in her life when she had wished everything to be a dream and not the reality that she needed to face. Like when she had seen Ethan flirting with a girl for the first time, or when she had seen him bring a girl home and have sex in the very next room to their bedroom, when she had seen the death of Hector and his parents, and when her parents had died.
Hope stilled in her place. For years she had an empty space in her heart that made her believe she was not going to see Varys again. It had been so long since she had assumed he was dead, because the thought of him going through any sort of pain or torture was too cruel to imagine.As she felt his racing heartbeat against her back, she realized that he was not as unaffected by her presence as he had pretended to be.
The day went by with Hope trying to find a way to get out of the house, but in her heart, she already knew it was useless. The maids were ordered to keep an eye on her inside the mansion and provide everything that was needed including clothes and other feminine things. She could not help but accept that whatever had happened, Varys had made sure that she was not deprived of everything, except for privacy. The guards were standing by every door outside the mansion. She was stuck with no way out and did not even know why Ethan had sent her over to Varys so easily.Huffing aloud in ang
"I did not have any fucking clue!" Varys slammed his palm down on the hard surface of kitchen, right beside where her hand was resting, immediately making her jump in fright. But then almost instantly stepping back he put his hands on his waist, flipping away to face away from her, while taking deep breaths.He turned back around and said in a gruff voice, "I only got to know after that day. I was not aware what kind of business my parents were in. By the time I entered the house, no one was left alive, my mom, dad, and brother's body was lying in front of my face while ten men surrounded them with guns in their fu
Varys' hand instantly pulled the dress back up, covering her breasts, moved to stand in front of her, covering her."What the fuck?!" he said in a low, murderous tone. His eyes shooting daggers at the man who literally looked like he was shivering."I... I am so sorry, boss." he stuttered, immediately realizing he had made a big, big mistake, "I did not know you had a lady with you.""Come here." Varys ordered menacingly.
