Hunter's eyes flashed in alert as he barged into her room. He found her small frame squirming on the bed under the sheets. Hunter closed the door as he walked over to the bed. "B....beg you... S...stop," She was stammering incoherent words throwing her head to the side as she fisted the sheets with such brutal force that her knuckles turned white. She was having a nightmare. He should've let her stay like that but something in his chest stirred as he sat beside her. Hunter noticed droplets of saline pearls escaping the corners of her closed eyes as they trailed through her temples, disappearing into her hairline. She was crying. Her whole body was trembling. Her chin wobbled. He always wanted to see her cry for framing him in front of his family but now seeing her like this made him unsettled. "Hey," He whispered, gently patting her cheek. Her trembling intensified as she kicked and twisted her body, shaking her head violently. "Stop... Sp....spare me... I b...beg...stop...
Silvia cuddled more into the warmth as a peaceful sigh escaped her lips. It felt too good. When was the last time she had such a good sleep? She tried to move but something heavy wrapped around her waist restrained her movements. She groggily opened her eyes. Her blurred vision cleared and she came face to face with an inked chest. She abruptly pulled back, her face looking comical with a double chin on the highlight. Silvia blinked wide-eyed at the chest. Petrified, her head snapped up and rested on the peaceful sleeping face of Hunter, and relief washed over her as she let out a breath in a whoosh that she was holding. Everything that happened last night reeled in her head as she gazed at his light beard. It was another nightmare. Hunter somehow showed up in her room. He woke her up and she mistook Hunter for him. She even clawed and punched him in her hysteria to get away. Silvia closed her eyes, recalling how he hugged her to his chest. 'I'm here. I'll protect you.' Did
He wasn't lying to her. He meant every word so why didn't she believe him? Was it because of her trust issues? But no one she had ever trusted turned out to be good. But then again now she had a vision as evidence of their relationship. "Hmmm," He hummed in a deep grumble pulling her closer. He was almost laying half on top of her, crushing her small frame under him. He was so heavy she couldn't breathe. Her eyes flew wide when he kissed her neck. She thought he was still sleeping and it happened accidentally but he kissed her again causing her throat to bob up and down as she gulped. "Good morning," He rasped and she just gawked at the ceiling, appalled. "G...good morning," She stammered. Her voice was barely audible. He pecked the skin behind her ear as she closed her eyes tightly. Her hands moved down to grab his arm as she tried to move it so she could flee. But Hunter had other plans. Grabbing her jaw he tilted her head to the side getting more access before attacking
"I'm so happy," Agatha said beaming at Silvia. "You've improved so much in such a short time. I can't believe you could pull off such a powerful spell which even I couldn't control to this date," Agatha said. Silvia gives her a soft smile. "It wasn't possible without your guidance," She said humbly but Agatha rolled her eyes. "Do you even realize how powerful you are, your magic is magnificent, I'm jealous," Agatha mused. "Don't be. I'll always be grateful to you for teaching me." She said, "Now show me that flame of yours," Agatha requested. Silvia raised her hand in the air as a ball of flame swirled in her palm. She slowly raised that ball in the air as it split into gazillions of small fireballs lighting the dark sky before it burst into enchanting fireworks igniting the flames on the inky sky as the soft hum of breeze swayed the residue of sparkles causing the scenery to be of glitter and gold. Agatha and Silvia watched in a beautiful trance when they heard a deep voice fr
Silvia woke up with a startle. Sighing she rubbed a hand down her face. She couldn't sleep last night, the girl kept tossing and turning thinking about Hunter and what he said. She was planning to use her magic on him to make him speak the truth for quite some time now but she refrained every time afraid that he would speak the truth and her heart would break. Silvia had expected him to say no but instead, he said he didn't know which meant he was conflicted about his feelings. On the other hand, she still didn't know how to confront all this. The thought of having Hunter on her side felt appealing. That meant she won't be alone anymore but at the same time, it scared her. Getting out of bed, she stretched. For now, she would just stay away from him. Let him understand his feelings while she tries to understand hers. She shouldn't let him find out what effect he has on her. Silvia showered. Changing into new clothes she made her way to the kitchen to grab her breakfast. L
Luca carried unconscious Angela to the car. The ambulance arrived and Chloe was sent to the hospital and her parents were contacted. Other than the wound on her head, she wasn't harmed any other way. Silvia got into the back seat as Luca placed Angela inside gently. Her head lay on Silvia's lap as he got into the driving seat. 'Yes, she's fine. We are coming home,' Luca was talking to worried Xander through the mind link. For now, no one knows what happened with Angela except for Silvia and Luca. Silvia grabbed Angela's hand, closing her eyes she used her magic and tried to see Angela's memories of the last two hours in which Chloe asked her to come to her place as her parents had gone out. The maid saw Angela leaving so Angela told her not to tell anyone and in return, Angela would buy her brand new shoes. The maid agreed and Angela went to Chloe's house where two thugs were already aware that the two girls were alone. Chloe opened the door thinking it was a delivery man with
The smile slowly dissipated as she lowered her gaze and tried to walk past him. She didn't want to argue with him at the moment. She has no strength to do so. She was barely even standing. And seeing him doubting her after claiming his so-called likeness to her and calling her my heart. She felt like slapping him to death. Hunter ceased her arm and yanked her back to her spot right in front of him but this time a lot closer. Towering over her he glared down at the girl. "Just answer me. I could take anything on myself but not my family, Silvia. Not my family! I won't tolerate that," She clenched her jaw as her arm throbbed where he was crushing her bone in a lethal grip. He had successfully stopped the blood supply. A little force and he might break her arm. "I don't want to," She breathed trying to free her arm. She didn't know why but her eyes were getting misty as she blinked rapidly not to cry in front of him. It wasn't the physical pain that he was causing her. She could endu
Silvia was sitting silently leaning across the trunk of the tree as she gazed at the pond. The wound on her stomach throbbed as well as her face. The kick was harsh, her cheek was all swollen and bruised but she could care less. She could always numb the pain by not thinking about it. Silvia could heal her wounds but she didn't want to. With pain comes alleviation. Playing with the pebbles she threw one into the pond as the water splashed making a beautiful shape. Silvia sighed, she wondered if Angela had woken up. She wanted to see her but she didn't want to face Hunter. Though Silvia was excellent at coping with her pain, the silent ache in her heart was messing with her mind. The way Hunter talked to her kept playing in her head like a reel. She was unconsciously caressing her arm where he had held her so brutally. She was sure it would be purple by now. She didn't blame him though. She was a villain and no matter what, he was supposed to think of her in that light. He thoug
