Sihana Caden
I was seating on my bed with my phone in my hand but, my mind won't just stop drifting back to what encountered between Ralph and I weeks ago. It's been three weeks already and I haven't heard anything from him. No calls or texts from him. He told me, he was going to see me soon but to date, I still haven't heard from him.why am I worried though?Am I? No, I'm not- I tried to remind myself that.But, why can't I get him off my mind? The fact that he abandoned me like a used dustbin without any calls or texts somehow, makes me feel upset right now. At least, a text from him would have been better right?I could still remember his threat vividly. How he told me not to even think of looking at another man in the eyes.Flashback"What did you do, you crazy man?!!" I yelled again at him for the second time before staring at the phone on the floor in horror.Nothing" he shrugged off his shoulder. I'm only trying to get rid of any distractions," he said again."Distraction?! Did you just call this a distraction?! I'm on a call with my brother and you suddenly smashed my phone on the floor, calling it a distraction?!""Well, he is a distraction to me. So, where were we...?" He trailed off before he suddenly wrap his hand around my waist and pull me to his body."Let go of me you bastard" I tried wiggling out of his grip but he was just too stronger for me."Hurting yourself more won't do you anything good, princess. Plus, remember that you're here because of my invitation and, you have to do whatever I asked you or else-""Else what? Threaten to kill my parents? Or my brothers? You think you can achieve that?" I scoff. "my father is the Caden! Get that into your dumb head and leave my family alone. Look, I need I need to be honest with you at this point. I only came here so I could end things with you. I'm sorry, okay? I'm sorry for involving in your business but, you got the girl back. Just let me go and let me be. I beg of you""Well, too late sweetheart because, you now belong to me""I told you to stop claiming me as yours! I'm never yours, to begin with. Why can't you just let me be and leave me alone, you zombie man""What did you just call me?" He asked, chuckling."You heard me right. You're a zombie man. You never act like someone who has a house to stay in. All you do is move around like a ghost. Don't you have work to do or, the only thing you do is kill people?""Hmmm, someone is trying to get to know me. I see" he said as he make his way to my bed and sit comfortably on the edge like he rented this place with his money...Hello! That's my bed, I hope you know that and, you didn't pay for anything in this room so, get your ass up from my bed!- I wanted to say that to him but decided to keep my mouth shut."Well, I'm going to tell you a little about me. I owned lots of companies! I thought, you'd done some research about me but seems, someone hasn't done anything like that yet. I own multiple companies, hotels, and restaurants too. And at the moment, I'm trying to strike a deal with..." He suddenly stopped and smirked at me."Well, the rest is for me to know and for you to find out yourself. Do not be shocked though if you get to see me very soon again. For now, I will leave but, do not forget about my warning, Sia. No man except your father and brother should come closer to you else, I'm going to kill him without any mercy" he threatened.Sia? Did he just call me, Sia?"You're sick in the head, Raphael, and you need help" I spat at him.And, what does he mean by seeing him soon?"Hearing that coming from you made me realize how true people have been by saying that to me""You're happy that people see you as a crazy man?""They need to be scared of me else, I will be trampled on ruthless sweetheart. Okay, I will see you soon again" he said and walk out of the room with turning back.Is he gone? Is he gone forever and he won't pester my life again?- I thought.I took my phone from the floor and sighed seeing the cracked face. I can't believe that this is the second time he was going to spoil my phone.I look around the room for the last time she decided to pack my luggage and leave. I have no idea what I've come here to do in the first place. Just because he has asked me to come doesn't mean, I have to right? He has no right to control my life.I got my stuff back in my bag, changing my dress back into matching sweatpants and its top. It's still winter period, I'm free with this kind of dress. I won't feel the heat and the fact that I had to cover up the wound this crazy man gave me so my family won't suspect that he hurt me. I look around the room one last time before checking out of the hotel.•I just landed back in New York and somehow deep within, I felt.., down. Why? I have no idea. I took a cab back home directly without calling my Dad to send me the driver to come pick me up.I got home and unfortunately for me, my brother was just on his way out of the house. I widened my eyes in horror, about to run away from him before he bounce his wrath on me but his voice stopped me."Don't even dare take a step away from there" he warned in a hard tone as he strode fastly towards me."Of course, I'm not that stupid to listen to him. I won't stay and let him teach me a big lesson in my life."How dare you lie to mom and dad that you're going to a party when the truth is, you're out there to see that loser?!" He growled."Aiden, I can explain okay? It's not what you think" I said in a small voice."It's not what I think? By going out there to meet that bastard when you're fully aware that he can hurt you?! Haven't we asked you to stay away from him? Then, why did you go to him?" He dangerously asked again while I took one step back not until, my back kissed something hard. Not hard enough to be a wall though, feels like someone's body.I turned around slowly and came face to face with him.No, no, no. This can't be happening to me right now. I'm doomed!!!Sihana Caden"Hey Xander, grab that crazy girl for me" Aiden said to him but I shook my head and gave him a puppy face hoping he won't do as he was told to. "You're crazy Sia for going all the way there to see that guy," he said in a disappointed tone. "I thought, you were warned not to see him again" he added. Shit! he heard everything! just as he was about to grab me, I slipped out of his arms and run to the center of the living room. "come back here, Sia" Aiden said. "No. I said I'm sorry""You think, sorry is going to solve this? I'm going to ground you for a month and not only that, mom and Dad need to know about this""No, no, no. You can't do that to me, Aiden. Besides, I said I'm sorry. It wasn't intentional to go there all by myself. All I ever wanted to do is to stop him from seeing me again""And you couldn't tell anyone in the house? You couldn't talk to me? What about, Xander? Simon? You couldn't talk to anyone and went all the way out there to risk your life? Do you
Sihana CadenSince that very day, my Dad locked me up in the house. I couldn't go out to do anything. I was being watched in my own house. I hate to say this but, it has started to become so annoying. A deep sigh left my lip as I stared at the new phone I just bought after the one Ralph had spoilt for me before my door burst open as my friends all walked in. "Hey, Sia!" Charlotte exclaimed happily as they all move closer to where I was sitting on my bed. "What are y'all doing here?" I asked not in the mood to talk to them right now. They all gave me this weird look before Johanna smacked my arm so roughly. "Ouch! What was that for?" I glared hard at her. "That's for asking such a crazy question. How could you ask us what has brought us here to your place? Of course, isn't it obvious? We are all here to see you. It's been a while girl!" She said, happily. Well, I'm not happy so, can she just close those teeth already?I rolled my eyes at her response. "Now, y'all have seen me, ca
Sihana Caden"But I can't do that. My Dad has got so many guards on me. I can't even do anything without them noticing. They're too much for me to handle, I can't fight them all at once" I complained."Fine then. I will send my men to clear them out.""Are you crazy?! You're sending your men to my Dad's house to cause a ruckus? What were you thinking?""What do you expect me to do? I need to see you and you have to come to me else, you won't like the outcome" he threatened me again. "Fine! Fine, I'm coming. But you also have to find a way out for me. I need to get out of this place" I said, hissing. "My men will be there in an hour" he said and hang up the call before I could say a word. I stared at my phone for a while and sighed. Am I doing the right thing? Why am I agreeing to see him when my family and friends have all warned me not to? What has this man done to me? I have no idea. I hurriedly changed into my black leather pencil trouser and a matching jacket with a white inne
Sihana Caden"Guys, do not keep me waiting. Just do a brief introduction and that's all" I said with a shrugged shoulder. "I'm sorry Ms. Caden, this is not part of our job. Boss is going to deal with us if he finds out we're trying to do this with you" he answered again. "No, he will deal with you guys more or probably, kill y'all for trying to hurt me" "What?!" They all exclaimed at the same time. "Do not be shocked. I can simply lie to him and tell him you three tried to hurt me. Imagine what he would do if he heard that coming from me?" I said with a mischievous look already on my face. They all seem restless all of a sudden as the guy sitting right beside me starts the introduction from his end. "I'm Phillip Thomas" he said."Okay, Philip. For how long have you been working for Ralph?" I questioned.He passes me an uncomfortable stare while I give him an assuring smile. "Don't worry, y'all secrets are safe with me. I do know how to keep secrets, believe me" I said as I pat h
Sihana Caden"What I mean to say is, no one knows about this place, not even your father does and if truly he does know about this house, there's no way he was going to know that I owned the house""Yo.. you owned this place?""Yes, sweetheart and I owned a lot more. Now, drag your leg in or I do that myself""You still haven't told me the reason why you asked me here" "Fuck! Why are you so stubborn, woman?! Do not make me repeat myself else, you're going to regret it" the look on his face says it all, I'm sure, he meant each of his words. I hissed and took in a deep breath before I walk closer to where he was standing. He smirked at me one last time before turning around and walking through the main door. I followed suit like a lost puppy with so many different thoughts crossing my mind. Immediately I walked into the house, I opened my mouth in awe. I had thought, the exterior of the building was a beautiful sight to watch but, coming in now, made me realize that I was wrong. The i
Sihana Caden"Lu... Lucas? The same Lucas that I know? Rebecca's husband?""Hmm" he hummed. "Ho.. how.. how did you two know each other and, how in the hell did he begin to sell the family's information to you? Did you threaten him to do that? Are you using his wife as his weak point to threaten him?" I bombard him with questions. "I'm not threatening anyone, okay? Lucas is my friend" "What?!!! Lucas is a friend to a crazy man like you? And you think, I'm going to believe that?! There's no way he's going to associate himself with a man like you. Yes, I know he used to be a Mafia but not anymore. Besides, he can't be close to a dangerous man like you""You have to believe every word that he says, Sia because he's right. He's my friend" a very familiar voice said behind me. I slowly turned around and saw him walk in as he move closer to us. I scrunched my eyebrow in confusion before I slowly point my index finger at him accusingly. "You mean.. you've been selling out the family info
Sihana Caden"You're a psycho!" I spat at him. "Well, I've been hearing that a lot. It's no longer a new thing to me." "Can you please let me go? My family needs me right now" "You were supposed to spend the night here with me" he said, simply. "What?!! Are you crazy?!" "Crazily in love with you, beautiful" he said in a very serious tone. My heart suddenly skipped at the look on his face. For a moment, I thought he was saying the truth but, how could have forgotten that this man does not have a heart of a good man, he's been dining with the devil, of course, he's practically non-other than a devil. "Ralph please, I beg of you, I need to go now" "Give me my kiss and I will let you go" he said, leaning his head forward to me with his eyes closed. I stared at his tempting handsome face before my eyes landed on his sweet, red lip and sighed. Sia, it's nothing. It's just an ordinary kiss and you'll be fine- I mentally remind myself. I lean closer to his face and slowly place my li
Sihana CadenLucas and I just arrived back home and for a moment, I was so scared of moving my leg. I know, my family is so upset at me right now, especially my father but, I Haven no idea of what the outcome would be. "Come on, we have to go in now" I heard him say as he stand close beside me. I looked at him, worriedly but he gave me an assuring smile before we both walked into the house. "Oh my goodness! Sia!!" My mom exclaimed immediately she set her eyes on me before she ran to me and embrace me a tight hug. "How are you? Are you hurt anywhere? Are you okay? What happened? What did he do to you? How did Lucas find you? Are you okay?" She bombards me with lots of questions but I just stood there mute. This is the first I would see my mom this worried about me, have I made them so worried? Normally, she would have gotten upset at me and even hit me or something but right now, my mom, not only her but the entire family looks so worried right. My father who has always been the on
