*SILIA*“Are you sure?” I asked excited and tentative at the sudden invitation.“Of course! Everyone might not know this but you are the reason why we are able to save our shipment and stop us from having a loss of billions. The star needs to be at the party!” Diana cheered, a smile curling her pretty red lips into a begging plea.“Still, I don’t think Draven would agree of my presence there,” I said not wanting to face him just yet. The way he had brushed me off yesterday and even seemed angry had been unpleasant and I didn’t want a repeat of that just yet.“I had a feeling that you wouldn’t agree so easily so I called a backup,” she warned, her eyes glittering with hidden mirth, “Sorry I didn’t want to resort to this too.”Saying that she went to my bedroom door and opened it eliciting a groan from me at once.“Rude. That wasn’t the kind of greeting I was hoping for but I’ll work with it,” Alfeo said laughing at my grimace. I watched him carefully and as soon as he took a step in I
*SILIA*I was on completely new territory.The supposed party that I had been ready to attend was being held in a mansion of one of the richer members of the Calix Mafia. The mansion was nowhere close to compare to the beauty of the mansion owned by the Calixes but it had still been bigger than anything I would ever dream to own.“Don’t look like you are in awe of this place. If you let your emotions be seen so easily the people are going to take advantage of you,” Alfeo corrected me making me suppress the feeling of excitement that was coursing through me.This was my first Mafia party ever. How could I not be excited?The memories of my vision from before seeped into my head making me smile further. This could finally be my chance of getting close to Draven. But the more I thought about it the more I realized how completely impossible it seemed.Draven, a cold hearted Mafia Don who only looked at me as a hindrance would suddenly do a one eighty today, was a little too farfetched to
*SILIA*My lips smashed against his. I didn’t know where I got this much courage to force this upon him but my body was burning with need.The kiss was making me senseless from the pleasure of finally feeling them. It’s texture soft and wet with a plumpness that I wanted to bite. My palm crept up to his cheek, his slight stubble pricking my skin making the experience more stimulating.My body felt warm and even though Draven hadn’t yet kissed me back I felt pleasure coursing through me. But why wasn’t he kissing me? Was I that ugly in his eyes?My body was reacting to him. I could feel the love I felt for him push through a few tears of frustration and pulling away I huffed and cried, “I love you! I fucking love you so much then why are you doing this to me? Why can’t you love me back?”His grey eyes refused to look at me but I could see them widen in surprise at my words. This was the first time I had come out completely and told him how I felt and even if he didn’t want to I could s
*SILIA*‘Silia? You know I love you the most, right?’Draven asked me, his face unclear of any emotions. I couldn’t determine if it was sarcasm that I detected in his voice or if he genuinely was wondering about this.‘I don’t know anymore,’ I said feeling frustrated and sad inside.‘But what about you do you still love me?’ He asked and feeling my heart thud at his question I didn’t need to think about it. The answer was clear from the way my whole body reacted for him.‘You do love me don’t you?’ he laughed in a mocking manner, ‘Too bad I don’t believe you. You are just a cheap slut like every other woman I have met till now. All you want is the power that I hold and nothing else.’‘That’s not true!’ I shouted at him but before I could stop him, he was already walking away from me. I chased after him stretching out my hand to grasp on to him, to anything that he possessed but before I could do that I slipped and went crashing down.It hurt a lot and groaning I looked ahead in hopes
*SILIA*I just know I am going to regret this greatly. Decisions made in anger usually have a reputation for failing.My steps feel heavy going to Draven’s office. Since I agreed to get along with Alfeo’s plan I have been trying to avoid Draven but Alfeo must have been more serious than I thought to be creating opportunities for us to execute our plan.“That’s a deep sigh, are you feeling okay?” Delilah asked as I passed her with the file that Alfeo had given me to carry to Draven’s office.“I am contemplating a decision I made,” I huffed making her give me a compassionate smile.“I am sure everything will be fine in the end but if it’s a bigger problem why don’t you ask Mr. Delluci to help you? You know that he treats you special,” she said and halting for a second I wondered if her words had any double meaning behind it but it didn’t. She was genuinely offering me this advice.“No, it’s nothing that serious,” I said trying to avoid the topic of Alfeo being close to me.“If that is s
*DRAVEN*“This is the third time, what is wrong with you today?” Diana asked making Gavin stop for a second as the two stared at me.“What do you mean?”“Where are you lost Draven? I can tell that you are not listening and I for one know well enough how much effort Gavin had put into acquiring these information,” she said sounding pissed at me for not giving enough credit and mind to her boyfriend’s hard work.“It’s nothing,” I tried to brush it off but Silia’s blushing face wouldn’t leave my mind.Just how quickly can a woman’s heart change?“No, I don’t believe its nothing. So what is it?” she asked her curiosity sparked and by the way she was looking at me I knew she must have an inkling of what was going on in my mind.“Quit it,” I snapped not wanting to entertain her. Silia and Alfeo had infuriated me enough and to finally put it off maybe I just needed to get their task done. “And Alfeo told me to let you know that Silia is going to spend the night at his house again today.”Thi
*SILIA* Looking at the time I see that I still had a good two hours before I would have to get ready for office. Keeping up my act of dating Alfeo I had slept last night at his place, in a different room this time and thankfully Alfeo hadn’t tried to do anything to me. Although we did watch a movie together and just had some fun. It was weird but still refreshing. The problem was that while I was moving from the carpeted floor where I had lounged with a blanket to bring something from the kitchen I hadn’t realized how tangled in the sheets I had been and slipping I had hit my waist against the edge of the couch. A small bruise had formed their, just a small angry red mark but it had hurt sleeping on my side that I was used to and therefore I hadn’t had a good night’s sleep. Yawning I rubbed the sleep away from my eyes and slipped off my heels to avoid putting any more pressure on my waist and legs. The floor felt cool under my feet until I reached the living room and stepped onto
*SILIA*“Are you sure it’s okay that I am here?” I asked feeling thoroughly out of place to be at the one of the biggest banquet halls in the city. The place would be often showed on TV for award functions filled with celebrities and famous personalities. To be standing in such a place among these jewels of society I couldn’t help but feel nervous.“Oh don’t let it bother you that much. This not a very big event. It’s just the fifteenth anniversary of this building that the Calix built under my Dad’s supervision back when he was alive. They have therefore invited us and almost the whole of the gang. The place is filled with mostly our gang members today. It is brimming with normal people if that is what you would want to call them,” Diana assured me and at her words I did feel somehow better.“That does help a little but I still don’t know how I should act. I have never attended a masquerade before,” I whined adjusting my mask that Diana had prepared for me along with the dress and he
