*SILIA*The first thing I felt coming to consciousness again was a heavy feeling in my chest.My head wasn’t still very clear about what was going on around me but it seemed like my heart hadn’t been able to forget what it had gone through. My eyes burnt and felt tender I had to blink several times before they got adjusted to the light.Staring up at the celling that I had come to greet every night now I felt tears slip out of my eyes again. The memories came crashing back of the haunting night and the gift that Draven had gifted me.‘You deserve this for being so foolish!’A voice taunted me in my head and closing my eyes I accepted it.Turning my face to look to my side I saw that there was nobody in my room and weirdly enough I felt scared at the sight of my usually empty room. I had been perpetually alone all my life finding random companions to help me go through life for some time. I had rarely found anyone permanent that I felt safe with and at home. I had thought Lisa to be th
*SILIA*“Do you really have to do this Silia?” Diana asked following me into the office that I was sure was the last time I was stepping in. She was usually composed whenever she was in public, especially in this building but today she seemed different. The eyes moved after her and at me, who she was following after talking so languidly and informally which was completely unlike the ice queen persona she usually carried.I was worried about her reputation and so silently and in a fast manner I walked over to the elevator to shut us in.When it was finally the two of us alone I sighed, looked over at her and said, “Please don’t make it harder than it already is for me. I don’t want to leave you two as well but I have to. I am sorry Diana but please try and understand me.”My voice quivered at the end as I had still been very weak and exhausted from yesterday. I had barely received any sleep last night and as soon as it was time to go to the office I had decided to submit my application
*DRAVEN*“You are an idiot! How the fuck did you become a Mafia don is beyond my understanding.”Diana thundered at me for the millionth time since yesterday.“I am sorry, I didn’t know this was how it would end up,” I said truly meaning my words. I couldn’t believe what I had done.I had officially fucked up big time!I had hurt her and lost her.This was what I wanted from the beginning. I had wanted her safe and therefore away from me but now that she is leaving I cannot take it.“Why couldn’t you discuss this plan with us once?” Diana asked dejectedly wondering if things could have ended better if that had been the case.“The news came to me very suddenly. I wasn’t aware that some infiltrators were behind the woman who I am in love with,” I confessed remembering how I had listened in on the conversation of a masked man to another.“I had therefore danced with her wanting her to stay close to me so no one would be able to get her but since I would be giving her hope of something bu
*SILIA*This was my only chance.“Are you here?” I asked Nicholas, whispering to be sure that no one would hear me.“Yeah, I am standing a little away from the west boundary wall but I don’t think I can stay here for long or else I might raise suspicion,” he said and I could sense his nervousness.“You are right so I will make it quick. I know that in about five minutes they will change their shift it will be then that I will sneak out,” I explained trying to assure him that it was alright.“But the wall is too high on this side, how are you going to escape. I don’t think you can climb out,” he said and I know his worries were reasonable but after training with Alfeo for so long I had learnt a lot and climbing a twelve feet wall wasn’t that hard for me anymore.“No don’t worry I'll be alright,” I said wheeling my trolley suitcase out of my room and down the corridor.“What about security cameras?” he asked and I chuckled softly at his words.“For once I am happy to have been paying at
*SILIA*“You want me, say you want me.” The words that fell on my ears either begged or commanded me was unclear but I had already been complying even as they were being said.Hands grabbed me, caressed me, and loved me making me reach a high that was more than just physical pleasure. My mind was partly present there and partly writhing with pleasure and disbelief. After some time I could barely understand if I had been screaming out of need or restraint because I couldn’t take that ecstasy anymore.Someone was making love to me, their heavy grunts and moans echoing deep within me resonated the same kind of lust that I felt. There was a need sizzling and coming alive ensnaring the both of us in its minacious claws. I had been only half alive as the other half of me had already been usurped by the pleasure.There was the sound of us slamming and grinning our bodies together, wet kisses and tongues putting an effort in portraying what they felt rather than putting it into words, My surr
*SILIA*It was official, the Calix siblings were crazy.This morning after I had hidden away in my room and locked myself in I had been disturbed by a knock on my door. Draven’s voice soon came through asking me to come out or let him in. When I had refused to even answer back to him, he got angrier.He didn’t specify why he was angry but I did hear him shout and say how could I just leave after spending the night with him? The words although clear the meaning was not. I didn’t know whether he was angry that I hadn’t waited to hear him cuss at me or if he had wanted to talk. But if I be honest what else would Draven talk to me about except to say that he had made a mistake? And that I didn’t want to hear.“Silia, open the door. Please let’s talk about what happened yesterday.”This was what he said first. His coaxing was soft and beckoning, almost making me want to melt and curl up in his arms. To cry and tell him about my problems but I had been too ashamed to say anything.“Silia, y
*SILIA*Julia was the last person I wanted to see right now.Did she know what I had done?Was she going to confront me in front of all these people?“I-” Trying to find my words I began a sentence but I couldn’t continue it unable to understand what I should say.I am sorry that I had sex with your fiancé?She was staring at me watching the pale expression on my face only whiten at her piercing gaze. I didn’t know whether she enjoyed it or not but she refused to let me off easily as she waited for me to gather myself.“I-I am sorry,” I finally said and a look of surprised briefed on her face but flashed instantly making her pass me a wry smile.“Follow me,” she said nodding to the bodyguard beside me. If before I had shown any signs of irritation at his presence they were gone as of this moment as I wished for him to be there with me. I wouldn’t be able to take the guilt and awkwardness of the situation alone.The guard merely nodded and casting me one last glance walked away and ou
*SILIA*I am woken up by my parched throat from the deep restless slumber that I had been in.After working the rest of the day in Alfeo’s floor and talking to Delilah during the break I had realized that this was how normal life would be for me for a little while. Since I had been told that my life was in danger I should have been scared about it but I knew that as long as I was in the office or this mansion the Calixes would keep me safe.But I had still been on edge for another reason. I couldn’t shake off the fact that Draven might have been watching me through the security cameras or that if he wished to he could come to me or call me up to him. I wanted to avoid seeing him for a little while longer until I could ease into this discovered truth.It wasn’t because I was just being indecisive but I was so happy that I was scared that if I was proved wrong once again, if he was just going to laugh and insult me once again for having some hope then the recovery would be long. I might
