Chapter 50
"KAIL!"With her shout, something surprising occurred.Kail's face, which had been clear up to this point, began to gradually change. At the point when he heard her call, it seemed as though he had been harmed, similar to he was cut. Pivoting gradually, he mumbled, "So I was correct. It's me. You and me."The observers heard him and looked at one another intentionally.Silje kept on shouting his name direly. When she began, she was unable to stop. The franticness and hurt in her voice were tormenting.She shouted to him with everything that is in her. She was imploring him to help her."KAIL!"The young ladies covered their ears and the young men glared awkwardly. Silje's shout was excessively strong and difficult to bear."KAIL!!"One of the domineering jerks got her hair and shouted at her, "Shut up! Hush up."It was a monstrous scene. Silje was shrouded in blood and the young men began to drag her away by her h

Silje tried to stay calm, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t. Her hands shook uncontrollably.Why did Kail have to endure this horrible pain? Why?‘It’s all because of me.’Suddenly, Silje couldn’t stop the voices in her head.‘It’s all because of me! It’s all me. If it wasn’t for me, Kail wouldn’t have to be beaten up like this. He would’ve been fine.’As she continued to watch Kail bleed, Silje knew she couldn’t leave him. It was funny how only a moment ago, she hated him with all her heart. They fought and hurt each other constantly, so why did she suddenly feel this way?Silje became breathless, and she blinked a few times.Until recently, all she wanted was to escape Kail, but a few minutes ago, she called out to him. She screamed his name as if her life depended on it. Why? It was the chance she was waiting for. She could’ve escaped h

How could something like this happen?The nasty fight was finally over, and suddenly, it was just Kail and Silje standing in front of the storage building. Silje stood in shock as she closed her eyes and wondered.Why did she call out to Kail so desperately?One thing she knew for sure was that as Kail walked away from her, she knew she couldn’t survive the loneliness and the pain she would feel without him. At that moment, she felt like she could do anything to avoid being alone again.That was why she screamed his name. And Kail came to her.Silje looked at his face which was covered in blood. She hated him for such a long time that it was strange to feel this way about him all of a sudden. It was confusing.When she didn’t say a word, Kail raised an eyebrow. He asked calmly, “What are you looking at so intently?”“It’s just… there is blood on your face.”She didn’t know

Silje chose to give in to his seduction. He was her other half. His eyes mirrored hers, and she didn’t regret her choice.As they became soaked in the shower, Kail stared at her hungrily and hugged her. His scent fascinated her and the feeling of his hair on her skin felt like a sweet caress. His hug was gentle and warm.Silje was surprised at how strong yet gentle Kail could be.She narrowed her eyes and teased him.“Was this your plan all along?”Kail smiled and mouthed his words against her neck.“What if it was?”Feeling his lips on her skin, she knew she was his. He hugged her tighter and after a long stare into her eyes, he kissed her again.It was an erotic and sensual experience for her. The unfamiliar sensation and strangeness of it caused her eyes to widen. His whole body against hers, his scent, and his soft yet rough lips on hers…His stubble against her sensitive skin fel

The next day, however, she stored it away in her mind and acted as if nothing happened.Thankfully, it was the weekend the next day and things went on normally for her.

Kail looked at her with absolute concentration. He wasn’t acting like a cruel king anymore. There was no demand in his eyes, only love and patience. He wanted her to take her time and open up to him when she was ready.Silje’s heart ached for some reason, but she didn’t want Kail to know. She turned away and said to him, “Don’t do this. Why did you come all the way out here in the middle of the night? We can just see each other at school.”Kail continued to stare at her and replied, “Why? Because… I wanted to see you.”Silje blushed as she coughed in embarrassment.“Don’t say something like that…”Kail just looked at her with a mysterious smile like the north star.Where did the mad king go?Silje looked at him curiously as she still couldn’t believe this was happening. It all felt surreal.Kail was the cruel king. Piercing, crazy, and cold.

In the darkest of the night, the stars and the snow shined like diamonds. The scene in front of Silje reminded her of a mystical fairy tale kingdom.Silje took a deep breath. Every time she breathed, the icy cold wind refreshed her body. Silje hadn’t realized how beautiful it was outside near her house.The night air was so piercingly clean that it felt like it reached her heart. It reminded her that she had never been out this late. Her adoptive parents usually went to bed early, so Silje rarely left her home after midnight.The cafeteria where she worked closed at 5 PM and reopened later as a bar. She had never seen such darkness and thanks to Kail, Silje was able to learn the beauty of the Oslo night in winter.When Silje became speechless, Kail smiled gloomily.“You’re so funny. I can’t believe how impressed you are with something so trivial like being out at night.”“Don’t make fun of me,”

Silje shivered in the cold and Kail turned on the heater. As the car became warmer, Silje started to relax. She felt sleepy in the comfortable seat.It was quiet inside and she closed her eyes. A voice inside her whispered an order not to run away from this. She didn’t want to refuse this warm wonderful moment.But her combative side wouldn’t let her rest. She turned to Kail.“Kail, from now on, please don’t surprise me like this. It is hard for me to accept. Such spontaneous acts make me feel small and out of control. Let’s respect each other’s space and time. If and when you want to do something, ask me first. Don’t just let me know. You need to give me proper notice and discuss it with me. I won’t be treated like a child.”At her steady words, Kail leaned back and smiled. Suddenly, the space felt so small that Silje became too aware of his presence beside her. His cologne was seductive and heady.

“Long time no see, Silje. Are you ok?”Silje met Irina in the hallway after her first class. In an adorable white rabbit fur coat and carrying a large fleece bag, Irina looked cute as usual. She was alone and not with her best friends Martina and Nina.Silje wanted to talk to Irina anyway, so she was glad about this coincidence. She replied, “Oh, Irina! Nice to see you again. Long time no see.”“I was worried about you. I heard something huge went down recently.”Irina looked around before whispering into Silje’s ear.“You have no idea how shocked I was when I heard about it. Nina came to me and told me she saw you being dragged away by Felicien and his goons. I thought about going to the teachers or maybe calling the cops.”Silje looked at her with a grave expression and asked Irina to go somewhere private to talk. They found a bench outside and sat down together.“Were you

“No one ever comes here, so don’t worry, Jamal. You can relax now.”When Silje explained to him slowly, Jamal seemed to relax a little.“I hope you understand. Your boyfriend is very scary, Silje. Haha.”With his innocent eyes, Jamal looked up at Silje and asked, “By the way, why were you looking for me?”Silje stared at the gray stairs she often used to sit to get away from her bullies. Only the maintenance man came up here from time to time to check the boiler.It was a nice safe place for her and Silje felt strange being here again with her changed situation.When she remained quiet, Jamal looked confused. He asked her again.“Um, did you want to talk to me, Silje?”“Oh, sorry. I was just thinking about the past. Whenever I had a rough day, I would come up here. The bullies wouldn’t follow me up here, so I could rest safely. This was the only place where I cou
