Greval left. I was begging him to not to but he never listened. I was so scared to be left alone with this wild animal.The lion has been growling so loudly and I can't do anything than to cover my ears with my hands. My body was shaking whenever I hear its scary growl. The ground is moving whenever it shakes the metal bars in between us. I feel like it will going to jump at me any moment from now. I have been screaming and calling Greval's name but he never came. I do not know what he is planning to do to me in this room. Maybe he wants to make me crazy by listening to the lion's growl the whole day. He will succeed by it. I am slowly losing my mind.If he intends to make me crazy, then so be it. I do not care at all.I was sitting on the floor, hugging my knees. I gave up screaming his name. It just made me so exhausted. I feel like my vocal chords has been broken for screaming so loud.My eyes quickly glanced at the lion. It was laying on the floor but its head was on my direction,
I screamed as I gripped on Greval's strong arm. It made me furious when I heard his ridiculous chuckle! What was so funny?! He finds this funny?! Oh! How I wish I do, too!"Greval! What the fuck!" I screamed in disbelief when his shoulders vibrated because of his laugh. I don't find this funny at all! Especially when the lion slowly walked over to us. It was walking very slowly, like he was trying to identify what creature I was.I shut my eyes tightly as I hugged Greval. My body was almost wrapped around his. I did not want to do it but I have no choice! The lion is just few inches away from us!"Uno," Greval called the lion like he was scolding him but his tone had still hint of laugh.I cried out so loud when I felt something furry in my back."No! Please! Greval! Make it leave!" I hugged Greval so tightly. My face was buried on his neck. My legs were already wrapped around his waist.The lion is standing behind me! I can't just imagine how near it was to me! I could feel his fur!
"W-What?" I whispered in a trembling voice. No. This can't be! Not my father! Please! I almost yell those words but I know that it will be just a stupid move! I will never let him find out that he is my father. I will never let him learn that Petrakis Tzivas is connected to me."Petrakis Tzivas? I do not even know him!" I gritted my teeth in annoyance, pretending to not care about what he was saying.Greval raised a brow at me. His arms were still wrapped around my waist. I have been trying to push him away but his grip was just too tight!"You do not, huh?" He narrowed his eyes at me. He looked like he does not buying my words and it made me nervous. No. I should not show any reaction to him. I need to do this better than I should."I do not know who that Petrakis is, Greval! Why do you keep on insisting that I do?!" I glared at him.But what if Dad had already said something? What if he already said that I am his daughter? No. I am not yet sure about that so I have to be careful. Bu
Why did I have a sudden headache? What is the reason? It was not just a simple headache. It was too much to take. It felt like my head was being half opened!"For now, you should just rest. Your whole body is still weak due to the headache and because of the medicines you are taking.""B-But what happen? Why did I lost consciousness? And did I really sleep for whole week?" I sounded so ridiculous. I just can't really believe it! A whole damn week!The doctor smiled. "For now, you should rest. That is all what you should do." Her tone was filled with finality but I still want to ask a lot of questions. And besides, why can't she answer me directly?"I am asking you. What happened to me? I had a terrible headache before I passed out! What kind of headache was that?" I am desperate to find out. The doctor smiled again. "It was just nothing. You should not worry about it."That made me annoyed. What did she say? I should not worry? What kind of doctor she is? I am asking a damn question
He just glared at me as he scrutinized my reaction, probably gauging if I am lying. Eventually, he looked away, sighing deeply.I swallowed hardly. I walked back to the cold floor and sat there. I do not know what he was doing here. He did not bringing any food. I wonder what he wanted?He remained watching me as he put his hands on his hips, as though I was an experiment he is finding difficult to comprehend. I looked away. What? What is he staring at? What is his problem?"What are you doing here? I want to be alone," I said softly, not wanting to look at him. I was scared that he will hurt me if I ever look at him.I saw from the corner of my eyes that he grabbed the chair and sat there.Knitting my brows in frustration and annoyance, I glanced at him.He was just staring at me while sitting there. His legs were wide apart as his elbows were rested on his thighs, intertwining his fingers. The first three buttons of his dark gray button down shirt were undone.I felt my cheeks burni
My heart was making a ridiculous loud sound inside me. It irritates me so much. I should hate him. Hell! I should despise him! I do not fucking know why my heart keeps on acting this way when he is around.I did not spare him a glance even though I could feel his intense glare at the back of my head. I feel suffocated. Staying in his room is not really a good idea. And I do not know why he wants me to stay here. Why is it so sudden? He messed with my mental health just several hours ago! He made me meet his fucking lion!I froze when I felt his presence behind me. My eyes remained on their huge wedding photo on top of his bed."You like it?" he whisk softly from behind, making me stop breathing for a moment. His tone was too soft. It was impossible.His arms suddenly wrapped around my waist. I felt his cold skin. He was topless! And I am sure that he was only wearing his towel around his waist!"G-Get off me!" I tried to sound strong but I shut my eyes when I realized how soft my voic
"Please," he murmured in my ear.I blinked. Is he drunk? But no. His breath smelled great. I could not smell any hint of alcohol in his breath. Surely, he is in his right mind. But is he? He is acting so... weird. What is seriously wrong with him?"No. I do not want to kiss you!" I hissed, averting my gaze. I feel so embarrassed! My face is as hot as the sun! I feel like you could fry an egg in my face!Greval kissed my cheek softly, nuzzling his nose against it after."Are you drunk, Greval?" I asked him even though I know he is not."I am not," he murmured."Then why are you acting this way? You can't just kiss me all you want!"He stared at me as he licked his lips. I suddenly felt so nervous with the way his eyes turned cold and cruel."I don't understand why you are like this!""I am still finding it out," he whispered."Finding out what?"He sighed heavily as he shook his head. "I will not tell you about it now."I creased my forehead at his vague answer. "What do you even mean
In my annoyance and frustration, I aggressively pulled away my hand from his hold. I saw how his eyes softened when I did that."Why can't you tell me, Greval? I know that something is happening. I know! Please! Tell me! I have to know!" I wanted to scream but I do not have enough strength to do so. All I do was to glare at him and show him how I hated him right now for what he is doing.I know that something is up. I can't be wrong. Something is not right. I do not know what it is but I have to find out. Greval is lying to me. He knew something I do not."Baby..." He sounded so helpless."Do not call me that!" I yelled. I do not know why that endearment has such a huge effect in my heart. I feel weak, hurt, frustrated, delighted and everything! It is making me crazy!"You should rest–""No! I do not want to rest! I want you to be honest with me! What is happening?! What is going on? Why can't you tell me, huh?! I can feel that you are hiding something from me, Greval!" I begged him.
