Chapter 1

Aurelia's POV

"Get the fuck away from me!" Clara snapped, it was good enough that she tossed the food away, she didn't have to rain down insultive words on me, I knew she was hurting.

"I am sorry" I said as I bent down to clean the mess my sister made.

"Just get out!" She yelled.

I did as I was told, I didn't feel bad about what happened, I was used to it. Just that lately, my sister has been a little on the edge, she just got her heart broken for the first time.

The first time is always a mess!

I heaved a sighed and went on with my daily routine.

Soon enough, I was at work and I expected my favorite person to pop up at anytime.

There he is, walking into the coffee shop like he owned the place. His calm demeanor always manages to sooth my worries.

I see him every day, but I still haven't gotten used to his handsomeness. 'He is so hot!' I chimed inside my head.

He was dressed in a tuxedo, first button undone, revealing a dashing glimpse of his chest, his hair in a stylish mess, his perferectly structured face always manages to take my breath away. 

God damn it! How could a man have a prince charming, CEO, badboy and a celebrity looks at the same time?

'Silas' that's his name, I just found out a few days ago, and I have been murmuring it to myself.

I always make his coffee by myself, I add extra honey to it, telling myself that's how sweet he is.

Deep down, I knew that wasn't true, as he had a very bad reputation of being a playboy. He uses and dumps girls, he is always spotted with different girls all the time.

He is dangerous and so is the force that keeps attracting me to him. 

I served him his coffee just the way he likes it, I wished he would just open his mouth and speak to me for once.

He didn't say anything as usual, he just sipped his coffee gentlemanly.

In just a blink of an eye, he was out of the coffee shop. My mood changed, it would only be better when I see him again tomorrow.

I carried on with my duties while singing, I wasn't bothered by anything. Life isn't going great for me but I manage to treat everyone around me nicely.

I heard screams as I ascended up the stairs, it was no one other than my sister. I heard things being thrown and glasses shattering. I wondered what my sister destroyed this time?

What did Clara's ex do to her that broke her so much? I could have asked her, but we weren't so close. Although we were adoptive siblings, we were like fire and ice, two that never meets.

I held the door's handle, too scared to go into my sister's room.

"Are you okay Clara?" I asked but I got no response.

I stood still against the door, I wasn't ready to leave, silent sobs could be heard from inside her room, it hurt me. My ever so lively sister is now broken.

My sister has never treated me nicely, but I do not want to see her in this condition, I wanted her my sister back.

After a while, I went to my room, which wasn't really a room, I lived in the basement as my mother refused to give me proper room.

I slept off fantazing about Silas, truly he is the man of my dreams and yet the man out of my reach.

I was woken up by a splash of cold water on my fragile body, I shivered as I sat upright immediately.

"Morning... M..mum!" I stammered.

"Why are you still asleep by this time?" My mother yelled. I managed to check my side clock, it was 5:10am.

"It's... it’s still 5 mum"

"I am having guests over, I want you to clean up the house before leaving for work" She said sternly.

"You didn't inform me earlier"

"Are you questioning me?"

"No... No ma" I quickly got on my feet and got out of the stuffy area I called a room, at least it was my comfort zone.

I did exactly as I was told and by 7am, I was at work already.

I hummed a song as I cleaned the place, asides from reading and making coffee, cleaning was my favourite thing to do.
