AUTHOR'S POV

She was really staring at him looking like a statue, frozen in time. She pulled herself out of her thoughts and looked up at him after shaking her head.

"I was not staring at you.... I was just lost in my own thoughts". Sia looked away not wanting to look at him anymore. But Hardin's eyes were fixed on her while slowly drinking his wine, taking in her nervous posture. The way her breath was shaky. The way she didn't know where to keep her hands. He smirked taking another sip. It was amusing to him.

Sia was nervous, feeling Hardin's unwavering gaze on her. He was the only man capable of making her nervous, but she didn't know why she felt like this around him. Maybe because he was the only person who was able to look right through her, maybe because he was the person who knew her the best or maybe because she knew what he was truly capable of.... destruction".

Sia refused to give him the satisfaction of getting a reaction out of her. She forced herself to look in his eyes again, "Look now who is staring at who" She pursed her lips, folding her arms on her chest, "And by the way I have asked you many times to not call me your wife"

He had that same iciness in his eyes that always made Sia nervous, "I have all rights to stare at you and YOU ARE MY WIFE" His cold eyes not leaving Sia's dull for even a second, " The sooner you accept, the reality the better it will be for everyone" Another sip.

Bringing up this topic always made her furious, "Our so called marriage is just a contract Hardin, you should also remember that". Not even a hint of expressions betraying her emotions.

Hardin felt the familiar chill running down his back that he felt when she called his name. His name sounded so sweet coming from her mouth. Hardin smirked, his lips turning up in that same devilish curve that Sia hated, " Yeah!!!... A contract, in which you signed your whole life to me". Hardin finally managed to hit the soft spot he thought. He loved teasing her.

Sia understood what he was trying to do, "Yeah!!! A contract in which I signed my whole life to you.... I often regret it but I can't do anything about it now, can I?".

That was checkmate. It was Sia's turn to smirk.

An unrecognizable emotion flashed in Hardin's eyes, that confused Sia, but before she could comprehend what it was, his face went back to the usual blank mask, "This conversation is going to go nowhere, so it's better if we drop it".

Sia knew it was useless so she decided to drop it as well. There is no use digging out old graves,"Why--". Sia started but Hardin replied even before she could ask the question. "Why did I wanted to meet right? I called you here because, you will accompany me to a party tonight".

Sia looked at him with a poker, refusing face without moving from her spot, "You know, you gave me a year. You can't ask me to accompany you anywhere. People don't know we are married.... They might take me as some of your whores". Sia refused him straight away, as people didn't know about their marriage except for some like Louis.

She paused remembering something else as well, "And besides you promised me something! The day you will fulfill your promise will be the day when I will be yours forever as you always, indirectly call it".

Hardin stared at her, "I didn't ask if you wanted to come or not. I said you WILL accompany me to a party tonight...." Hardin stepped forward with the glass in his left hand, but he was still an arms length away from her, "Now baby, You are going to go to the guest room in the east wing, where your dress and makeup artist is waiting for you and then you are going to get ready and come with me". He ordered her not giving in to her protests at all.

But she was Sia. She was stubborn and a rebel, " I won't do everything, you ask me to do...I am not your doll" A frown was adorning her flawless forehead, defying him confidently.

Hardin took a few more steps towards her until he was just a breath away. She could raise her hand and touch him, but she knew she would never do it again.

He raised his hand to take a string of hair from her face and placed it behind her ear. The closeness was making her heart beat faster, her mind reliving the old memories. Looking in her eyes, his eyes softened. His voice dropped down a few octaves, turning into sweet whisper that made her breath hitch, "You are going to do everyting I ask of you..... You don't have a choice. You have already sold your soul to a devil like me. It's no use fighting me anymore".

Sia for a moment was stunned by the same soft look in his eyes. The same look that always made her feel warm, "I...I" She stuttered because he was too close and she couldn't focus on anything but his eyes. That's why she didn't want to look in them.

Hardin was successful in getting the desired reaction out of her. He knew her weakness well. He slowly caressed her face, his fingers going from her forheard to her red cheeks finally finding their destination at her lips. He caressed her lower lip, "Get ready.... I will be waiting for you!" His tone was soft just like his eyes. He retracted his hand and shook his head stepping away from her and then leaving.

Sia was frozen on her spot finally realizing that she has been holding her breath. She breathed heavily and turned around. But he was not there anymore.

Sia knew he was successful in manipulating her again. He knew well, how to use her weakness against her. She shook her thoughts and went towards the room knowning she doesn't have a choice but to do what he wanted for now. She was also thinking about the rumours that were going to spark after they will be spotted together tonight....

    SIA'S POV:Awestruck would be an uderstatemnet if I say that's what I felt after seeing the dress. To say that it was the most beautiful and elegant black dress I have ever seen in my life, would be least of the praise. I also took notice that black was my only favourite colour. After trying my hardest to look away from the dress, I noticed the makeup artist standing by front of the dressing mirror. I looked at her and she greeted me quite enthusiastically, " Miss Sia! It's so nice to see you in person.... I am Natalia your makeup artist for today. If you hurry up and wear the dress, I will get your makeup and hair finished within time" She was talking like a robot and smiling at me.Ugh! She is too cheesy! I thought, grabbed the dress and went towards the dressing room ignoring her all the way. When I turned around to close the dressing room's door behind me, I saw her coming inside as well. She was so annoying. I almost wanted to ask h

    SIA'S POVSunlight was trying to peek in, from the glass walls in my room, but the drawn curtains, were getting in it's way. The atmosphere felt gloomy, because of the darkness in the room. I was still sitting, with my back against the side of my queen size bed, looking blankly at the wall in front of me. My hairs were disheveled. My eyes were swollen, but void of any kind of emotion now. People failed to undertand me. They thought my eyes were cold, but that was not true. My eyes were dead, just like my dead heart. I often had to place my hand on my heart, to assure myself, that it was still beating and I was still alive. But knowing, that I was still alive, was more painful. I had to endure everything and still stay alive. It was my cruel fate.I looked down at my hands. They say, that the lines on your hands can describe, what is in your fate, but the lines on my hands, have always been so dull. I guess

Sia thought and whipped her head around to argue with him again when his hands made their way to her sides for the second time. “ Hardin Please. Listen to me. ” Sia placed her hands on his wet chest and sighed. Hardin's hands paused, his eyes assessing her expressions. “ I am listening. ” He smiled, pushing Sia's hair behind her ear softly. Sia heaved a heavy breath not knowing what to say to him. She did not know why she still felt so scared of everything. “ Don't you want to be with me? Don't you want everyone to know that we are married? ” Hardin whispered, his eyes noticing her expressions that changed to one of horror. “ No. No. It's nothing like th

Sia's hands shot up to her mouth to cover it as a gasp left her lips. Tears started streaming down her red cheeks. “ I wanted to prepare a grand proposal event something but I think this is the right time for this. ” He shrugged his right shoulder as he stared in his teary eyes hopefully. His heart was beating in his ears like a drum. This was the second time in his whole life that he was so nervous.

    AUTHOR'S POV Sia turned around in the bed, her eyes opening. She did not know when she fell asleep and woke up just now. Yawning, she focused on the figure laying just beside her with his arm draped over her waist protectively. Her hand reached out to brush off his bangs away from his eyes with her fingers gently as he sighed in his sleep. An unconscious smile was tugged up at the corners of Sia's lips. Her thumb slowly drew circles on his cheek with her eyes taking in the sight before her. She had never thought that it was possible for Hardin to love her. It all felt like a lie at first but the sincerity in his eyes and the determination in his voice drove all fear away. Now there was only him and there was only her. Nothing else mattered. Atleast she could try thinking like that but she still had a hard time adjusting to this new thing. She pushed herself off the bed as she grabbed her clothes to wear them.

She had never said I love you to any man before and she felt like she did something out of the world just now. His shocked eyes were making her breath hitch. “ You said something else. ” Hardin's eyes darkened as a smirk tugged up at the corner of his lips. He knew that she confessed to him just now but changed her words instantly after that. She felt awkward but he would definitely hear it from her. One way or another.

The combination was maroon and black. It gave off an eery vibe just like his personality. He pulled her inside and closed the door behind them smoothly with a click. Sia took in the interior of the room. There was a huge king sized bed in the middle with black sheets and maroon duvet and pillows. Sia's eyes conveniently left the bed and stopped at the wall beside it. Her breath hitched when she noticed alot of pictures hanged on the wall. Her pictures. She had never seen them before though.

She looked in his eyes for a moment before replying in a determined tone. “ I am going to take Emma and I am going to leave from here. I am going to go somewhere far from here. ” Hardin's eyes went wide realising what she was hinting at. She was talking about leaving him. She was telling him that it was over between them. It was over before it even started. “ No. No! You can't do that! ” He growle

Sia grimaced as she averted her eyes back to meet Emma's eyes that painfully reminded her of Emily's eyes. “ I won't cry. ” Sia shook her head as she pushed the tears back, looking at her. Emma pulled her closer once again and sighed out as Sia felt her heart hurting more. She was just a child yet she was like this.
