*SILIA*Thinking twice I finally pull out my phone and send the picture to Alfeo along with a message.“Will you be able to get me information about the house in this photo and then meet me later to discuss me?”Checking the text I sent to him I wait for a few minutes when I hear my phone buzzing. Picking it up at once I walk to the furthest corner of my room to avoid letting Lisa hear me speak and whisper, “Hi.”“Seems like it was wrong for me to call you right now,” he said probably guessing that it wasn’t the best moment to speak with him.“Yeah, it’s alright though,” I said and then asked, “So what did you think of my text?”“First the picture is odd and second I already have my people finding about It.” There was smugness in his voice when he relayed that news to me and I shouldn’t have been surprised but I was at how quick he was being about this.“Seriously? Thank you so much!” I said unable to keep the excitement out of my words, “So when should I meet you? The day after tomor

“This is it?” I asked, staring up at the secret house that had been creating confusion in my head. “Yes this is it,” He said, making me glance at him once to see that he still seemed a little off. Falling silent for a little bit I hesitantly looked at the quiet suburban neighborhood. Houses looking similar to the one I was standing in front of went on for rows on both ends. There was a lawn and a garden decorating it. Victorian style with a patio and a swing set gave it a cute image of a peaceful life. Even the flower bushes lining it on either side were trimmed, proper and fresh, making me aware that someone was taking care of it regularly. Stepping up the two steps I made my way to the door and looked back at Alfeo to see that he was right behind me. “You can still back out if you want to,” He said, judging my fear and scowling at his words I shook my head. “No, I won’t.” I turned back towards the door and going up to it I noticed that the lock on the door was a pin protected

*SILIA*‘Silia?’ I heard someone call to me and turning around I saw that it was Draven but that wasn’t what surprised me it was the position that he was in. He was sitting on one knee with a jewelry box opened in front of him. Taking my hand in his he looked happy and hopeful while tears already fell from my eyes.‘Dr-Draven, I-I, when did you,’ but I couldn’t complete even one single sentence and smiling at me he said, ‘I have always and always loved you since the first day that I saw you in the café reading a book that I couldn't help but click a picture of you. I never thought I would ever be able to see you again but I was wrong. It had been a small mission for me to catch hold of a local drug dealer hiding in that area but because of that I met you again. It was truly fate that time, when you had helped me patch up a wound on my leg.’He looked down for a second rubbing his eyes, ‘I looked so uncool then.’Chuckling at the memory of finding a handsome man groaning in an alley al

*DRAVEN*Before I could understand what I was doing I was already walking up to her. I couldn't watch her standing there looking pretty for someone else and before she could reply to him I had punched Alfeo making him stagger back and away from her.“Alfeo!” I heard someone shout but my senses weren’t in my control. All I could see was blood. I needed to hurt him. I needed to hurt him enough to somehow get rid of the pain that he had ignited in my heart.“I told you to stay away from her,” I mumbled to no one in particular as I stalked over to him and punched him again, this time making him fall down.“Draven!” someone called out to me but the wind was whooshing in my ears carrying the echo of his proposal.‘Will you marry me?’Laughter resounded in my ears following that question. Memories of Silia laughing and crying when I had proposed to her filled my mind. It irked me, it made me wonder if she would have reacted in that same manner if I hadn’t interjected.Kicking him once again

*SILIA*Alfeo took me back to my room in the yacht while I could hear Diana and Draven shout at each other talking about what had just happened.Helping me to sit down Alfeo crouched to remove my heels for me and said, “Relax here while the boat goes back to the dock. Draven will not be able to enter here without the passcode.”He smiled for me probably knowing that I was feeling bad for him and patting the seat beside me I said “Sit down here.”A little confused he listened to me and getting off the bed while he looked at me confused I went to the bathroom. Searching the cabinets for the first aid I found the box finally and took it back to him.“You didn’t have to do that,” he said realization crossing his face when he saw the box.“No, I should, you took all the beating because of me,” I said feeling bad for his swollen lip.“If you treat me like I am weak then it would be too disheartening,” he said and sighing at his words I placed the first aid box beside him and opening it I we
