Sihana Caden

I got to my hotel room and treated myself properly. I'm glad it was just a scratch.

Bastard!

I can't believe I got myself involved with a dangerous man like him. I need to do all it takes to make him stay away from me for good.

My phone start to ring and Charlotte's name appeared on the screen.

"Sia, are you okay?" Johanna asked in a worried tone the moment I picked up the call.

Oh! It's a conference call!- I thought the moment I heard her voice.

"Of course, I'm fine" I lied with a small chuckle on my lip.

"What are you getting yourself into, Sia?! This is dangerous!" Crystal scolded in a worried tone.

"Dangerous? There's nothing dangerous, girls. I'm fine, belief me" I repeat the same word. "And, why are y'all picking on me like I've done the worst thing ever? Becca was also involved with Lucas too"

"My love story is different from yours, Sia. Our parents were ex-Mafia and my marriage with Lucas was an arranged marriage made by our parents. We later fall in love with each other but in your case, it's different. You're playing fire with one of the most dangerous Mafia leader" she hissed as she said that and I chuckled.

"This is not funny!" Charlotte said. I could bet she just rolled her eyes.

"I'm not in love with him girls!" I hissed.

"In love or not, you would eventually fall in love with him in the end" Becca said.

"That's never going to happen. I'm only here to make him stay away from me forever and that's all." I said.

"You need to be careful, Sia. Your brother will kill me if he comes to know that I'm involved in all of this" Charlotte said. 

"Me too" Crystal chimed in with her.

"Albert is never going to forgive me either for this. You're putting us in trouble" Johanna added.

"No, they won't. Okay, I need to go girls. I will talk to you later" I hurriedly hang up the call before they could start lecturing me again.

I relax on my bed and a deep sigh left my lip as I think about how to go about all this. I heard a knock on my door and got up. I walk to the door and opened it slowly only to be greeted by the devil himself. Anger written over his face.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him in a cold tone. He pushed me in and close the door with his leg as he suddenly pinned me to the wall.

He held my hands and placed them above my head on the wall as he stared intensely into my eyes. "Stop getting on my nerves" he groaned out in an annoyed tone.

"What exactly do you want from me?" I asked him, calmly. 

"You. You're all that I want"

"Sorry to disappoint you. You can't have me, Raphael Francisco. I don't date Mafias"

"And you're very well aware that you can't be in someone else's arm? If any guy dares come closer to you or even looks at you, he's dead" he said in a dangerous tone.

"The more you kill, the more I'll be far away from you. You won't get me and you can't get me" I told him looking straight into his blue eyes.

"You expect me to back off and pretend not to have ever met you? You think I'm going to listen to you?" He slipped his hand under my t-shirt and trailed fingers on my bare stomach.

"Exactly! You won't listen to me and I'm never going to listen to you either. I'm Sihana Caden. The blood of Caden runs through my veins, I'm my father's daughter Ralph, we never listen to people. We never back down on our words."

"Don't test me, sweetheart. I'm a man of my word."

"You're right and you've proven that already by killing my boyfriend. But that doesn't mean, I would still listen to you" I pushed him away from my body and sit on the couch.

"I know, I got involved with what I'm not supposed to but, you got the girl back, didn't you? Why can't you just let me be?"

"Because you belong to me. I want you and that's all"

"You can't have me, Raphael. I'm not like those weak girls y'all claimed and trample on like they meant nothing. I'm Sihana Caden, you messed with me, and I trample on you ruthlessly. Never underestimate what the youngest daughter of Caden's family can do because I'm a girl. I've been trained to become tough"

If he thinks, he can easily get me then he lied.

"If I can't get you then, I can make you crawl to me begging" he smirked as he said that and I look at him, confusedly.

"What are you talking about?"

"Your brother, Simon. He's handling a project right now in Paris. How about I ruined all of that and kill him? Taking your family down one after the other won't be hard. That will be interesting too, right?"

I got furious immediately after those words came out of his mouth and jumped up from my seat. "Don't you dare do anything stupid to my brother and family! I'm never going to be lenient with you if anything happens to my brother, Raphael! I'm warning you. You wouldn't want to see what I'm capable of doing! I don't care if you're a dangerous Mafia or not, I will make sure you regret ever crossing my path" I warned him in a cold tone.

The reason I was here is to get my family out of this. I do not want them to get involved in my mess but here he's, threatening me with my family's life.

"The little kitten has an angry side huh?" He teased.

"You-" I wanted to burst at him but the ringing tone of my phone cut me off. I took the phone and my brother's name appeared on the screen.

I saw Ralph walk towards the balcony of my room to watch the outside view and I picked up the call.

"Hey, Aiden!"

"Sihana Caden!! Where the fuck are you?" He burst in an angry tone.

No, no, no! I'm bursted! He didn't know I lied to them, did he? Charlotte didn't tell him anything, right?

"I'm... I went to my friend's party. You know that already Aiden" I let out a nervous laugh.

"Don't you fucking give me that bullshit! You went to Seattle?! ALONE?!!! To see who? That mother fucker?!"

"Stop yelling at me, Aiden. I'm old enough to take care of myself" Now, I'm starting to get pissed by his behavior.

"Don't test me, Sia. Get your ass back here before I tell mom and dad everything" he threatened.

"You wouldn't da-" my phone was suddenly taken away from me and smashed on the floor.

I looked at Ralph in horror. "WHAT DID YOU JUST DO YOU CRAZY MAN!!!" I shrieked.
