*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
*SILIA*“So that’s what got you distracted,” Alfeo murmured next to my ear taking me by surprise. I paced back at the sudden closeness stepping on the cloth of my own dress and just as I was about to fall Alfeo caught hold of me, securing me in his strong arms.“Sorry, I must have scared you,” he said looking in my eyes through his maroon mask with a small apologetic smile. Flicking his gaze to the side he pulled me up and directly into a hug, “But it’s a good thing that this gave us an opportunity of making Draven jealous. He is looking right over at us. You think he recognizes you?”Saying that he turned me around in the hug giving me a perfect view of Draven’s angry eyes glaring at me. It was pathetic how I felt happy at his recognition.“Didn’t I just request you to keep the touching to a minimum?” Diana groaned making me pull away and blushing I apologized.Why? Why was Draven glaring on seeing the two of us together if he didn’t care about me?“Leave the two of them alone, babe.
*SILIA*Grey eyes staring right at me.Am I dreaming?Was I hallucinating?The warmth of his hand on my waist was scorching to a magnitude that I was scared I would burn. This couldn’t be a dream then but how and why was Draven dancing with me?It had happened so suddenly that I couldn’t even understand. One moment Alfeo and I were enacting a bowing scene after finishing our dance and the very next second I was whisked away by the pair of cold eyes that had been drilling holes in my head throughout the dance with Alfeo.The music for the second song was another slow dance and after the first song the second one had motivated more couples to come onto the dance floor making it crowded. It didn’t help my nerves that Draven had swished us away to the other side from where I had been dancing with Alfeo before so I couldn’t even find him.Except for staring into the sly silver eyes of the man I loved I had nothing that I could do.He didn’t look like he was going to explain his actions any
