AUTHOR'S POV
Sara could feel someone trying to wake her up so she blinked her eyes open and looked to her right to find Silas staring down at her.Slowly, she looked down before realizing he was laying beside her. His hand was supporting his head and he was smiling down at her.“ What. Are. You. Doing? ” Raising her eyebrows, Sara croaked out and pushed herself to sit.Looking around, she sighed. Did he really carry her to the room when she was sleeping? She sighed again.“ We are landing in half an hour. We need to go back to the seats and buckle up. ” Silas informed her before getting up and leaving her alone.Sara narrowed her eyes and glared at his back until he disappeared.Inhaling deeply, she got up too and strolled to the door before going to the bathroom to fix herself up.Fixing her hair and clothes, Sara came out and took her seat far awAUTHOR'S POV Dealing with Silas...was frustrating. That's what Sara thought after hearing him talk non-stop until they finished eating. From the scenery to the current temperature, he talked about everything. Sara knew, he just wanted her to talk to him but she was too stubborn for that. She just kept listening to him and then went back to bed. She regretted getting up now. She hated to admit it but every time Silas talked about even the stupidiest of things... Sara listened to him carefully. Now as she laid on the bed with her back facing the room, she simply stared at the wooden wall in front of her. The bed was swaying lightly which was causing her some serious anxiety but she was not going to admit it out loud. Out of a sudden, Sara felt the other side of the bed dipping and she turned around instantly. “ We won't sleep in the same bed. ” She declared just as her eyes
AUTHOR'S POV “ Silas ” His name rolled off Sara's tongue efficiently. Silas easily heard her sweet voice coming from behind. He turned around, surprised to find her standing behind him on some distance. Her arms were wrapped around her body as she tried to protect herself from the cold and her eyes...Her eyes held some weird emotions in them. It felt like she was overwhelmed with emotions. Did she have a nightmare? He wondered and took out his hands from his pockets. He pushed his right hand forward, before he called out to her. “ Come here. ” His voice was demanding, he knew that. He never used this tone on her before. It was only impulsive, but surprisingly, Sara listened and strolled to him. The moment she got close enough, Silas turned completely around and took a step toward her to end the distance between them. “ Are you cold? ” He asked, his voice fille
AUTHOR'S POV She needed to get away from him...That's what the alarm ringing in Sara's head was asking her to do. She knew what she needed to do but her body seemed to have a mind of it's own. Her feet refused to move and walk away from him. Silas came up on the ramp and stood behind her, observing her closely. She wanted to walk away, he knew, but she was unable to do it. Why? He wondered and stepped forth leaving the distance of an inch between them. His warmth seeped through her back and her hair stood up on their ends. Her heart which was beating fast before threatened to explode out of her chest now. She was shaking lightly. Pushing his hand forward, Silas let his forefinger trace a line on her cold hand and watched as her body jolted back. A smirk came to rest upon his lips after watching her reaction to his touch. Sara inhaled deeply as his finger kept tracing a line, going hi
AUTHOR'S POV A gasp escaped Sara's lips and Silas raised his eyes to meet her green horrified orbs. His eyes slowly travelled lower to take in her straight neck before moving lower to her collar bone and then her plump breasts. He took in a sharp breath and dragged his tongue across his lips. The urge to leave marks all over her clear skin was too strong for him. “ You - You need to... I mean you need to... ” He didn't know what he was saying anymore as he tried his best to look somewhere else. “ I need to cover up. ” Sara gasped out but she didn't move from her spot. Her eyes were caught up in his lips which were being bitten harshly by his teeth right now. Her whole body was on fire. She could feel the heated anticipation gnawing at her guts. The sexual tension grew in the air as both of them held their places unable to move away or do anything. “ You need to cove
AUTHOR'S POV What had she done? That was the first question which popped in Sara's mind the moment she woke up from her deep slumber. She was clinging to him like a koala and he was holding her for dear life. This was truly an embarassing sight for her. Last night, she didn't drink but she sure acted like a drunk woman. She was all over him last night. Groaning silently, she had pulled herself free from his arms and rushed to the bathroom to take the shower before deciding to disappear somewhere. Surely, there would be alot of places where he couldn't find her. She planned on disappearing to a place like that. Clothing herself in a simple white dress, she did what she had decided to do. She ran away. She forgot for some time that she was scared of water and Grandfather Magnus might find out about her little trip alone. She just didn't want to face him. ' You w
AUTHOR'S POV Sara stared at the phone in her hand blankly. She couldn't believe it... That Arrogant bitch hanged up on him. “ He can go to hell. ” Sara hissed and threw the phone back in her bag. Everyone in her life was shitty. It was like they all were competing against each other to see who could win this contest of the BIGGEST ASSHOLE. Sulking, Sara laid down on the sand without a care in the world. When you were doomed, what could mere sand do to you anyway? Closing her eyes, she rolled around like a child taking advantage of everyone's absence in this part of the beach. Sighing heavily, she thought about Silas. He would have found out by now that she ran away. This was so unlike her. What was she doing? This question haunted her once again. Pushing herself in a sitting position, Sara glanced at her bag thoughtfully. It was not like she di
AUTHOR'S POV Silas stared at her without blinking his eyes as Sara stared back with much intensity. She looked dumbfounded but angry at the same time. Slowly, she raised her hand and Silas's eyes followed her movement wondering what she was going to do. Was she going to slap him again? Thinking of him as Silas this time? He gulped but her hand politely landed on his forehead as a frown of concentration made it's way up her forehead. She sighed out as she pulled her hand back. “ The fever is gone I think. ” She mumbled to herself as her eyes closed again. What just happened? Silas was wondering about it. Did she just wake up to see if he had fever and she fell asleep again? He frowned and leaned in toward her to see if she was really sleeping. “ If you kiss me again, I will poison your food for sure. ” She warned with her eye
AUTHOR'S POV Sara watched Silas's face for a moment before she decided to tell him everything. “ My Mom was not like them. She was just like you. A peasant as Lexingtons called her. With the smallest mistakes, she had to suffer. She did a small mistake once. She accidentally spilled juice on one of the Grandfather's great powerful business partner's wife's clothes. ” Sara spoke each word slowly as Silas's guilt grew. He raised his head and looked at her again. “ GrandMother likes to punish people. Get on your knees and stay outside for the whole night, Bow down for hundred times, starve for three days, sit under the sun in hot summer for hours. ” Sara was in a trance, her mind travelling back to the corridors of the past. Memories were painful and having to live them over and over again was undeniably cruel. Silas held his breath back, listening to her. He knew there was something hi

She didn’t know.She could get back at him first and they could talk later, like Silas suggested.Turning the doorknob, Sara entered the room without knocking and found Silas sitting on his bed leisurely.Poor Sick Silas. She t’ched internally and walked over to him.“ So? Now, you know you can not run away from here. ” He folded his arms over his chest and poked his inner cheek with his tongue.“ Yeah. I know I can’t run away. ” Sara whispered, strolling toward the connected doors to check everything out.“ What are you doing? ” Silas asked suspiciously. She was too calm at this time and to
AUTHOR’S POV“ I can and trust me…I will, Dear Wife. ” Silas’s hold over Sara’s wrist tightened as he proclaimed.“ I am leaving. ” Sara pried his hand off and glared at him.Deep down, she had a hunch that she committed a mistake coming here. It was the Lion’s den and it would be impossible to leave from here if Silas didn’t let her go.“ Try leaving then. ” Silas challenged, their egos finally clashing.“ So you will do this to me now? ” Sara spoke, hurtfully.“ I have to do this. You are acting like a three year old for God’s sake! It’s marriage. It’s not some dollhouse play where you can leave everything halfway so easily. ” Silas pushed his hair back, his head beginning to hurt due to the stress Sara was causing him.“ First, we will talk it out. If I can’t convince you to forgive me then

She was avoiding eye – contact with him.“ Repeat it. ” He spoke slowly, his tone deadly. “ Say it again, Sara. ”Sara lifted her head, her gaze settling on his light brown orbs. Did he think he could scare her into changing her decision? No, he couldn’t do it anymore.“ You had a chance. I gave you one. You could have told me, but you didn’t. Why? Because, you didn’t trust me like I did? Or were you just taking advantage of my love? What was it that you tried to achieve by pretending to be someone else? ” Sara got up from the chair, her eyes glaring at Silas

Home. Grandfather. She understood it better now.She was relieved but she was anxious at the same time. She felt sad too. She knew why, this time.She had all the answers she needed now.
