Sihana Caden
"You've got anything to say before I blow off your head?" He said with a cold stare but yet, I keep a calm look on my face. I was already trained for this, I can't be intimidated."Just because you point a gun at my head doesn't mean I will be scared of you. Of course, you know that better than anyone else Mr. Raphael Francisco or, do I have to introduce myself properly to you?" I asked and pass him a smirk.I could see the surprised look on his face. I guess, he wasn't expecting me to say that. What was he thinking though? That I will be scared of him and beg for mercy?"Of course, I know you. I mean, who doesn't know you? Everyone knows you're your daddy's little princess, you're his most precious jewel. I heard, he doesn't spare anyone who crosses paths with his little girl, and now, I would like to see what your father is capable of doing""Don't be stupid. Believing you can get my Dad through me is never going to work because you're wrong. Y'all think I'm my father's weakness but my mom is" I hissed as I said that.He stared at me for a second and burst out laughing. "And you think, I'm going to believe that, little kitten?" He asked as he trailed his gun from my head down to my neck and made it land on my stomach then, he stopped."This is going to be more fun than I thought," he said as he suddenly throws the gun at one of his men and draws me closer to his body.He placed his head on the crook of my neck and whispered in my ear. "You're one strong girl"I tried pushing him away from my body but he was too strong for me. He suddenly moved a little farther away from me and I raised a brow at him. "Just name your price and let everyone go in peace. I do not have time for your silly games" I hissed as I said that to him and he chuckled.I turned my head to look at my phone that has been ringing for the past few minutes now. My hands were tied and I couldn't do anything. He finally got irritated and smashed the phone on the floor. I looked at him and pretend not to be bothered by what he just did even though, I'm a little bit worried.One of his guards suddenly barged in and sauntered closer to him and whispered something to his ear. I use that as an opportunity to look for an escape route but suddenly, he stared at me and smirked."It's been reported that the father of the little kitten is on his way here to save you" he mock."Well, you better let me go else, you're very well aware of what my dad can do to you. He won't care if you're the Mafia boss or not""How about I kill you here before he arrives? That will be so interesting to watch right?" He said in a cold tone. I gulp down nervously even though, I'm not sure if he meant his word but the look on his face seems dangerous.His guard passes him his gun again and he starts to trail it on my bare skin giving me mixed emotions right now. He put his right hand on my jaw forcing me to look straight into his eyes. He leaned closer to me and caress my cheek with the back of his left hand."Why? You now find me attractive and afraid of killing me?" I asked with a raised brow. He untied my hands and smirked."Flirting with me isn't at all bad, little kitten" he said and suddenly clashed his lip with mine. He stopped before I could react and kissed my neck making me moan immediately. I didn't expect myself to do that but that gave him the chance to roam his hand on my body. suddenly, I felt his hand slip under my skirt.He trailed kisses from my neck up to my ear and licked it seductively, I couldn't control myself any longer and moaned louder this time around. To be kissed by one of the most handsome guys I've ever laid my eyes on is already turning me on.Am I crazy? Yes, I think I am. I mean, this is one hot guy right in front of me and I'm losing control already.He suddenly stopped and look intensely into my eyes. He leaned down slowly towards my lip and crashed his lip on mine again. He cups my face and kisses me passionately, it's crazier that my body is reacting to his every touch. I could feel the spark in my stomach.I wanted to wrap my hands around his neck and draw him closer when suddenly, I come back to my senses and tried pushing him away but he kept kissing me hard. He held me tighter to his body and grab my butt in his hands.I moaned into his mouth and he lick my tongue. He raised my right leg and I wrapped it around his waist, I have no idea what he was about to do next but a call came in for him. He stopped and peck my lip before he pick up the call and set it on speaker."What?" He said to whoever has called him on the phone."He just landed. He's at the airport and on his way there" the guy said and Ralph hang up the call."Daddy is on his way to save you" he said but I didn't say a word.He stared intensely at me and peck my lip again. "From now on, you're mine Sihana Caden" I widened my eyes in horror as he said that like it was the simplest thing in the whole world."Are you crazy?! How can you just claim me like that? I'm not an object that you can just claim besides, I have a boyfriend!!" I burst at him."Talking about your boyfriend. How about I kill him so he can no longer disrupt our relationship?" He asked."I don't care if you kill him or spare him. This is about you, we have no relationship!" I pointed between us."Well, you asked for it. If he's not dead, I can't get you and you just say to kill him" he shrugs off his shoulder."I never said that, you idiot! Don't just claim me as yours because I was never yours, to begin with. You have no right to claim me that way""No, you're wrong beautiful. I have all the right to claim you as mine and now, you Sihana Caden belong to me.""You're jus-""Go to Seattle in four days, I will pick you up at the airport""You're not my father, why should I listen to you?!""Don't test my patience, little kitten. Don't forget, I do not want to see any man close to you except your brothers and Dad. Whoever comes closer to what's mine, I will surely kill him" he threatened and kissed my lip one last time before he walk out of the room.I stared at his retreating back in horror. What just happened?- I mentally questioned myself.Did he just claim me as his?- I thought again before I shook my head to get the silly thought out of my head.I found my way out and saw my family already there. I look around and saw non of Ralphael's men. I guess, they're all scared of my Dad and scram away."Daddy" I called and ran to hug him tightly."Are you hurt? Did that bastard do anything to you? Are you okay?" He bombards me with questions as he inspects my body."I'm fine Dad. I'm sorry, I only wa-""Sihana Caden!" I heard my mom hard voice called out my name in a dangerous tone and I hurriedly hide behind my dad's back."You come out now so I can teach you a big-time lesson?! How can you walk into danger with your right state of mind? Do you have an idea of how worried I was?""Calm down, Janet. At least, she's fine and here with us" my Dad said to her.Being his only daughter has made me always get my Dad's support at all times. Both my mom and my brothers are always strict when it comes to me."I'm fine mom, he didn't hurt me""Mom is right Dad, she needs to be dealt with." my elder brother Aiden said and that made me turn to him in horror. He always meant his words. "You know what? You're grounded" he added in a serious tone."Daddy!! Talk to them, they're scaring me" I pout."How could you get involved?! You almost got killed!" He busted."I said, I'm sorry" I pout again. "Besides, I'm fine. He didn't do anything to me.""That's okay guys, I'm sure we're going to get that bastard soon" my Dad said and that made everyone go quiet."But dad, he's the Mafia boss. That will be hard" Albert hissed."We can still get him, we're the Caden's" Xander said."Whatever! We need to leave here now, Dad." Simon said.We all walk towards the car with my hands clutched tightly around my Dad's arm. I made sure to be next to him because I'm still scared of my brother and mom. Especially Aiden, he's crazier and stricter than my mom."Boys, y'all need to be with her at all times. Never allow her to be alone or go anywhere by herself" my mom said as we were about to get into the car."Mom!" I yelled."No way!" Aiden busted."Hell no!" My other brothers said in unison."Guys, we'll talk about this when we get home" my Dad announced and we all got into the car as the driver drove straight to the airport.Chapter 3Sihana CadenRaphael wasn't joking when he said he was going to kill Andrew, my boyfriend. The news is all over everywhere now. He got into a car accident and right there, he died on the spot. Of course, I know this is not an ordinary car accident. He did that because I met with Andrew yesterday despite his warning not to meet with him. And Andrew's death, I have no idea why I wasn't affected much by it. Maybe because I have no feelings for him yet. We met at my best friend Charlotte's birthday party some months back and he asked me out which I turned him down at first but later on, I said yes to him and we start going out to see where it leads. Now, I've got no other choice but to go where he asked me to else, he might do something crazy again. I have no idea what I've gotten myself into. I started this and I need to finish it once and for all. I can't put my family's life in danger because of my carelessness. "Done with your packing?" Mom asked as she walked into my ro
Sihana CadenI got to my hotel room and treated myself properly. I'm glad it was just a scratch. Bastard! I can't believe I got myself involved with a dangerous man like him. I need to do all it takes to make him stay away from me for good.My phone start to ring and Charlotte's name appeared on the screen. "Sia, are you okay?" Johanna asked in a worried tone the moment I picked up the call. Oh! It's a conference call!- I thought the moment I heard her voice. "Of course, I'm fine" I lied with a small chuckle on my lip. "What are you getting yourself into, Sia?! This is dangerous!" Crystal scolded in a worried tone. "Dangerous? There's nothing dangerous, girls. I'm fine, belief me" I repeat the same word. "And, why are y'all picking on me like I've done the worst thing ever? Becca was also involved with Lucas too""My love story is different from yours, Sia. Our parents were ex-Mafia and my marriage with Lucas was an arranged marriage made by our parents. We later fall in love w
Sihana CadenI 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. "Distractio
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 A Year later If I will be told a day like this would come between Ralph and I then, I would have denied it. Just 6 months ago, I was still adamant in not giving him a chance. For good six months, he tried his best trying to win my heart back. He got into fight a lot of times with Matt, at some point, I got scared because I thought, he would hurt Matt remembering what he did to my ex then when we first met but, Ralph is now a changed person. He's more compassionate and caring too. I slapped him countless times, I hurt him with my harsh words, made sure to hurt his feelings just in same way, he did to me in the past yet, he took all of that without any complains. He didn't go away, he kept telling me he would accept whatever punishment I give him that he deserves everything. All he wanted was for me to forgive him. After a lot of thought and my heart betraying me whenever he's close to me, his change of attitude too made me end up forgiving him. I was glad Matt
Sihana CadenIt's been two days I last saw Ralph. Telling me he won't ever leave not until I forgive him yet, I haven't set my eyes on him again after the last time he collapsed at my door step. Well... Why am I even bothered about his presence?- I thought before rounding up the make up on my face. Matt and I are both going to this restaurant he told me he just found recently. I also realize something that, no matter how we had an argument, we end up settling the issue even before we realize it. He was like a boyfriend who understands his girlfriend. You see why I said, any woman who ends up with him will be so lucky to have him as her man? But, not me. I tried so hard to love him but, I just can't do it. And today, we're both having dinner outside. We both agreed to go out and explore most of the places I've not been to before I leave for New York tomorrow. I made a decision to go back home and, I won't be telling anyone. It will only be as a surprise.I'm sure, my friends, my f
Sihana CadenMy brother just finished telling me how Ralph was poisoned by his uncle, he inject him a dangerous poison. I can't believe he did that because Ralph helped my Dad. They've been trying so hard to find the antidote but it seems, he made sure he got the poison from a place where Ralph would never be able to find the remedy. And now, it's disturbing him according to what my brother had told me. "Sia, I believe you can take care of him, right?" He asked."What are you talking about? Take care of him? But you're here?""I need to attend to something urgent. A message just came in now""What?! But you can't just leave me alone with him here""He won't hurt you, that I'm sure of " he kissed my forehead and left the room in a hurry even before I could protest. How he can easily vouch for him now still amaze me. Just some months ago, none of them wants him for me but now, they're all close to him. Especially Aiden, he now act like he's known Ralph for years. Their closeness is
Sihana Caden Just getting up from the bed and my phone begin to ring. It's my Dad. I wonder what it's this time around. "Hey dad" I said immediately I pick up the call. "It's been 9 months already, getting close to 10th. When are you coming back home?" He asked, going straight to the point. "Dad! You didn't call me this early morning to ask me such question, did you?""Does this seems like a joke to you? From my tone, you should know I'm serious, Sia. When are you coming back home?" He asked again. "B... But. But I thought you told Aiden not to force me concerning this and that, I can decide on whenever I want to come back, Dad?""At this point, I can't help but tell you to come back home Sia. What do you still intend doing over there? Aren't you over the healing process already?""But I-""Your Dad is right, Sia. Please, come back home. We missed you so much. Your father and I, missed you a lot. Because of you, Aiden and Charlotte couldn't push through with the wedding... Don'
•Sihana Caden"It all begin while I was growing up." He begin as he caress my arms. My heart fluttered immediately due to his action. I'm glad, I was seating else, my knees would have gotten too weak and I might end up falling. "My uncle, what he told me was, my parents and my kid sister was killed by your Dad. He also told me, he did that because he was jealous of him. He made me know both our parents used to be a Mafia and at some point, they were both fighting for the leader then. And because your Dad couldn't stand my Dad taking the throne, he killed him, my mom and my sister. He told me he was glad I spent the holiday with him during that period else, I would have been dead too" "That's all a lie! My Dad would never do anything as that callous" I said as I tried to get up from his lap but he stop me immediately. "Please, let's stay like this. This is the only way I can make you understand me and how I feel" "Since when did you become this considerate about other people's fe
•Sihana Caden"Hey" I said faintly to Matt who was still sitting on my couch. I had thought he would leave after what has transpired between us some hours ago but no, he's still here waiting for me to come downstairs. What a gentle man. He hurriedly jump up from his seat and hug me tightly. I could feel his breath, heavily. "I'm sorry. I'm truly sorry for the way I busted at you earlier. I promise, I'm never going to do that again. Please forgive me" he apologized. "It's fine, Matt. You didn't do anything, okay? You were only looking after me. I... I should have listened to you but, I was so taken back by my emotions. I'm sorry too" I apologized. He broke the hug and smiled widely at me. "It's fine. For as long, you've forgiven me then, I'm okay with anything" he said."Thank you for understanding me""I will try my best to always do." He said. "So, what are you going to do about him now that he has find you again?""I don't know yet. I'm still surprised on how he found me" I sai
Sihana CadenAll the fear in me some few seconds ago are all gone and now replaced with anger. I glared hard at him before saying "what are you doing here?" In a very cold tone. The same tone he usually use. "I missed you Sia " he said as he hug me tightly, taking me off guard.This bastard did not just hug me, did he?"Get your filthy hands off me, Ralphael!" I tried pushing him away from me but, he's too stronger than me. He held me tightly like his life depends on it. "Please, Sia. Let's stay like this for a few minutes" he said, surprisingly in a very, very soft tone. "I said, to let go of me" I said again through gritted teeth. Finally, he let go of me and looked deep into my eyes instead, smiling. Did he just smile?!!!!!!Before I could say anything, he walked into my house like it belongs to him. "What the hell do you think you're doing, Raphael?! How dare you showed up in front of me like this?" I asked again. I don't know why my heart is beating crazy like this. I had
Sihana Caden8 months laterIt's been eight months I left home, my family, my loved ones and my work. I left without any traces. I also know, my parents would be hell worried sick about me when they found out I was gone. To make it worse, I left all they could use to track me behind. I know from the beginning that my father has always loved me very much and I'm sure, he would have search every crook and corner of the earth just for me before I finally call them on phone 4 months ago. Though, in the letter I left them, I told them not to bother looking for me that I will be fine but, I know my Dad very well. He has always cared and worried about me than my mom, I can't imagine how he would feel when he realized that I'm gone. Worried?Angry? Or, maybe both. I finally summoned the courage to talk to them four months ago and it was my mom who picked up. I called the house Telecom. Hearing her faint voice speak, I told her it was me. Do I even had to? Because, she called out my na
Mathew Diego Salvador"For the last time, who the hell saw my daughter leaving this house?!!!" Mr. Zayn roared in anger as he ask his guards and maids, making them all shake in fear. When I realized, I finished my work early today in the office, I decided to call Sia on phone. I wanted to ask her if she would want me to get her anything because I would love to see her face tonight before going back home.A month ago, when Mr. Zayn announced our wedding, I was shocked. I wasn't expecting such decision from him considering how he always threaten me to stay away from his daughter. I was happy though, with his decision. I'm in love with his daughter ever since we were kids and that has never changed. I will always love, cherish and respect her all my life- I made that vow to myself already.Calling her number several times, she didn't pick up and that's unlike her. I decided to give her some few minutes before trying it again but yet, same result as earlier.Her phone kept ringing but
